بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
وَإِذْ أَوْحَيْتُ إِلَى الْحَوَارِيِّينَ أَنْ آَمِنُوا بِي وَبِرَسُولِي قَالُوا آَمَنَّا وَاشْهَدْ بِأَنَّنَا مُسْلِمُونَ ﴿5:111﴾
(5:111) And recall when I revealed to the disciples to believe in Me and in My Messenger, they said: "We do believe, and we bear witness that we indeed are the ones who submit to Allah"
إِذْ قَالَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ يَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ هَلْ يَسْتَطِيعُ رَبُّكَ أَنْ يُنَزِّلَ عَلَيْنَا مَائِدَةً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ قَالَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿5:112﴾
(5:112) Also recall when the disciples asked Jesus, son of Mary: 'Jesus, son of Mary, has your Lord the power to send down to us a repast from the heaven?' There upon Jesus said: 'Fear Allah if you do indeed have faith.'
Volume 1, Book 2, Number 47: (Sahih Bhukhari)
Narrated Abu Huraira:
One day while the Prophet was sitting in the company of some people, (The angel)
Gabriel came and asked, "What is faith?" Allah's Apostle replied, 'Faith is to believe
in Allah, His angels, (the) meeting with Him, His Apostles, and to believe in
Resurrection." Then he further asked, "What is Islam?" Allah's Apostle replied, "To
worship Allah Alone and none else, to offer prayers perfectly to pay the compulsory
charity (Zakat) and to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan." Then he further
asked, "What is Ihsan (perfection)?" Allah's Apostle replied, "To worship Allah as
if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion then you must
consider that He is looking at you." Then he further asked, "When will the Hour be
established?" Allah's Apostle replied, "The answerer has no better knowledge than
the questioner. But I will inform you about its portents.
1. When a slave (lady) gives birth to her master.
2. When the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competing with others in
the construction of higher buildings. And the Hour is one of five things which
nobody knows except Allah.
The Prophet then recited: "Verily, with Allah (Alone) is the knowledge of the
Hour" (31. 34) Then that man (Gabriel) left and the Prophet asked his
companions to call him back, but they could not see him. Then the Prophet said,
"That was Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion." Abu 'Abdullah said:
He (the Prophet) considered all that as a part of faith.
Slave of Allah
