DESCRIPTION |
|
| One may believe it or not, today Islam is the fastest development religion, which is spreading-through voluntary preaching and invitation-in the whole world and in West, including USA at a faster pace, then ever. Over the past few years, the popularity of holy Quran and other authentic Islamic books has touched new heights. Islam is perhaps seem as the last bastion of spirituality, morality and religious values, leading to real salvation. Surprisingly, Islam-despite being the most progressive, logical and scientific religion, on this planet-is also the most misunderstood religion. This confusion about Islam has recently increased, due to certain eventual reasons. Militant struggles by groups of staunch followers of Islam, against oppressive regimes in their respective lands-Palestine, Iraq, Russia, China, Philippines and an ongoing conflict in Sudan, to name a few-and to top all of these, the attack on World Trade Centre of New York, and inspite of subsequent fall of the Taliban, the still existing resistance in Afghanistan-have collectively contributed in deteriorating the situation, further. But, there is always a blessing in disguise. Resultantly, the said misunderstandings have instantly diverted the minds of people towards it and resulted into a deep interest in knowing Islam. Now, more and more people want to know about Islam, the religion, which has once again stirred the world community. Ironically, one prefers to ignore millions of Muslims, living in harmonious and peaceful [multi-racial] societies like India, Malaysia, Lebanon, South Africa and Mauritius and on the contrary, he or she loves so frequently talk about Muslim militant forces at war with various regimes. They symbolize Islam with dogmatism and terrorism. No doubt, interpretations and explanations are essential for making any subject comprehensive for the readers-students and scholars alike. But original sources always form the best material to quench the thirst of a seeker of knowledge and convince a questioning brian. That’s why, the compilers and editors of these volumes have banked upon the scriptures, original interpretations and old authentic classic. We have simply reproduced the authenticated texts, with introductory and linking notes and paragraphs, in order to make the text-matter easier to understand. We have not tempered with any material, it is either reproduced or presented in compact form. That’s all. To support the matter, authentic extracts have been taken from Holy Quran and certified traditions only. All efforts for maintaining utmost objectivity have been. In order to evade any possible controversy, all disputed matters have been avoided. Prophet’s traditions stand for peace-peace for all, not for the Muslims, alone. In fact, Islam, when defined, incorporates in its fold, safety and security for the whole mankind. Holy Quran, the divine scripture addresses all human beings, not only the Muslims. Prophet of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad [Peace be upon him] is know as the benefactor of mankind. Thus, Islam’s message is for the whole universe and Allah [God] is the Lord of all the worlds. Islam is universal in its nature, essence, belief, philosophy, ideology approach and practice. The term ‘Hadith’ is translated into English as ‘Tradition’. It means the instructions and sayings of the holy Prophet Muhammad [phuh]. Also, the practices he exercised in his life and asked others to do the same. The subject is very vast and can be divided into various parts. For instance, traditions concerning prayers do’s and dont’s, social life, financial matters, education, research and so on. Besides Hadith [tradition], the holy Quran is the most significant source of Islamic jurisprudence. Holy Quran consists of six thousand six hundred and sixty six verses and all of which Allah has taken under his protection against any alteration whatsoever unlike the previous books, which were amended and tampered by the people as per their interests. Therefore, no one can change even a single term of the Holy Quran. This is, basically, in contrast with the earlier divine books, like, the Torah, the bible, the Zaboor etc. After the demise of the prophet [Pbuh], the caliphs did not care too much for the Ahadith [pl. of Hadith] because they attached maximum honour and reference to the holy Quran. Their plea was that they don’t need Ahadith since Quran is there for their guidance. It was after one and a half century after the demise of the prophet [Phuh] that the job of the collection of Ahadith began. Lacs of Ahadith were collected as the number of the prophet’s companions was great and everyone had a few Ahadith to narrate. It complicated the task and there were lacs of ahadith, many of them repeating the same theme, withlittle variation. Anyhow, after a lengthily and toilsome exercise, Islamic scholars succeeded in collecting the correct Ahadith and authenticating them, very religiously. Then, they compiled those authentic traditions in a remarkable manner. Hence, a great treasure of traditions, in our hands. Through the pages of this multi-volume book, a modest attempt has been made to identify all those weak and unauthentic traditions, which have no base. Hopefully, it would be taken as a job, accomplished and would serve the purpose. |
