Selected Course to Understand the Demands of Qur'an
Disclaimer
Whenever you want to pursue the truth and verify anything you hear about Islam, we urge you to please use the only valid and divine source of Islam, Qur'an.
On the authority of Ibn Masood (may
Allah be pleased with him) who said:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “It is not permissible to spill the blood
of a Muslim except in three [instances]: the married person who commits
adultery, a life for a life, and the one who forsakes his religion and separates
from the community.”
On the authority of Zayd ibn Khalid
al-Juhaniyy (may Allah [The Most High] be pleased with him), who said:
The Messenger of Allah [The Most High] (may
the blessings and peace of Allah [The Most High] be upon him) led the morning prayer
for us at al-Hudaybiyah following rainfall during the night. When the Prophet
(may the blessings and peace of Allah [The Most High] be upon him) finished, he
faced the people and said to them:
Do you know what your Lord has said?
They
said: Allah and his Messenger know best.
He said: This morning one of my servants became a
believer in Me and one a disbeliever. As for him who said: We have been given
rain by virtue of Allah and His mercy, that one is a believer
in Me, a disbeliever in the stars*; and as for him who said: We have been
given rain by such-and-such a star, that one is a disbeliever in Me, a believer
in the stars.
*The pre-Islamic Arabs believed that
rain was brought about by the movement of stars.
This Hadith draws attention to the fact
that whatever be the direct cause of such natural phenomena as rain, it is Allah
[The Most High] the Almighty who is the Disposer of all things.
It is related by al-Bukhari (also by
Malik and an-Nasa'i).
