As-Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatul-lahi Wa Barakaatuhu
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
مَا الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ وَأُمُّهُ صِدِّيقَةٌ كَانَا يَأْكُلَانِ الطَّعَامَ انْظُرْ كَيْفَ نُبَيِّنُ لَهُمُ الْآَيَاتِ ثُمَّ انْظُرْ أَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَ ﴿5:75﴾
(5:75) The Messiah, son of Mary, was no more than a Messenger before whom many Messengers have passed away; and his mother adhered wholly to truthfulness, and they both ate food (as other mortals do). See how We make Our signs clear to them and see where they are turning away!
قُلْ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا وَاللَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ﴿5:76﴾
(5:76) Say: 'Do you serve, beside Allah, that which has no power either to harm or benefit you, whereas Allah alone is All-Hearing, All-Knowing?'
Volume 5, Book 58, Number 244: (Sahih Bhukhari)
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Allah's Apostle sat on the pulpit and said, "Allah has given one of His Slaves the
choice of receiving the splendor and luxury of the worldly life whatever he likes or
to accept the good (of the Hereafter) which is with Allah. So he has chosen that
good which is with Allah." On that Abu Bakr wept and said, "Our fathers and
mothers be sacrificed for you." We became astonished at this. The people said,
"Look at this old man! Allah's Apostle talks about a Slave of Allah to whom He has
given the option to choose either the splendor of this worldly life or the good which
is with Him, while he says. 'our fathers and mothers be sacrifice for you." But it
was Allah's Apostle who had been given option, and Abu Bakr knew it better than
we. Allah's Apostle added, "No doubt, I am indebted to Abu Bakr more than to
anybody else regarding both his companionship and his wealth. And if I had to take
a Khalil from my followers, I would certainly have taken Abu Bakr, but the
fraternity of Islam is sufficient. Let no door (i.e. Khoukha) of the Mosque remain
open, except the door of Abu Bakr."
Volume 1, Book 8, Number 419: (Sahih Bhukhari)
Narrated 'Aisha:
Um Habiba and Um Salama mentioned about a church they had seen in Ethiopia in
which there were pictures. They told the Prophet about it, on which he said, "If any
religious man dies amongst those people they would build a place of worship at his
grave and make these pictures in it. They will be the worst creature in the sight of
Allah on the Day of Resurrection."
Slave of Allah
