No deed equivalent to Jihad Narrated Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu anhu, A man came to Allah's Apostle Salallahu-alaihiwasallam and said "Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward)." He Salallahu-alaihiwasallam replied, "I do not find such a deed." Then he added, "Can you, while the Muslim fighter is in the battlefield, enter your Masjid to perform prayers without cease and fast and never break your fast?" The man said, "But who can do that?" Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu anhu added, "The Mujahid (i.e. Muslim fighter) is rewarded even for the footsteps of his horse while it wanders about (for grazing) tied on a long rope". (Sahih Bukhari, p391, v.1).
Explanation: The explanation of an action is based upon its importance and its high status. Taking this into account the aim of Jihad is the elevation of Allah's word and this cannot be achieved without Jihad. For this reason the most virtuous deeds stated in this Hadith is Jihad. To comprehend this virtuous deed by the human mind may prove difficult, but only Allah's grace and mercy can enlighten us in this respect. When we examine the religious laws in providing the reasons for Jihad being the most virtuous deed, we can present the view that Jihad is actually the protector of all other deeds. It is on account of Jihad that Muslims can be at ease and able to lead their way of life, fulfilling all obligations without the fear of the enemy. When Jihad is neglected, it is inevitable that the Kuffar (unbelievers) will empower the Muslims resulting in a breakdown of the Islamic way of life. Another reason for Jihad being the most virtuous deed is that a person sacrifices his two beloved things which are, his life and his wealth unlike other deeds. It can easily be concluded by this explanation why other deeds cannot compete with Jihad. In reference to some Ahadith in which other deeds have been given priority, the focus has been on a specific aspect and this has-been considered acceptable. Generally, the scholars of Hadith have given priority to Jihad by analysing the details of the above Hadith. A great scholar of Hadith, Qazi Azad Maliki states, one realises the great status of Jihad by this Hadith and no deed is equivalent to Jihad. Fathul Bari, (p5, vol.6)
can anybody tell the exactly mean for jihad,because many people claim that they all jihad through such as suicide bombed!!!what do u think about this guys???
"Sesungguhnya disyurga (Jannah) itu ada seratus tingkat yang dikhususkan & dijanjikan oleh Allah buat Para Mujahidin dijalan Allah,(Yang mana) antara tingkat ke tingkat yang seterusnya adalah jaraknya seumpama langit & bumi" BUKHARI
Dari Abdullah Bin Umar r.a. berkata bahawa aku telah mendengar Nabi Muhammad SAW bersabda, "Bilamana kamu sibuk didalam urusan jual belidan kamu memegang ekor lembu dan leka bercucuk tanam dan kamu meninggalkan Jihad maka ALLAH akan menimpa ke atas kamu kehinaan yang tidak akan terluput sehinggalah kamu kembali kepada agama mu(iaitu berjihad) - (HR Abu Daud)
Tak hairanlah kenapa ummat Islam kini di selubungi dengan kehinaan _________________ Kenali Kebanggaan Ummat Ini http://holyexplosive.blogdrive.com/
Mujahid The Most Superior: Narrated Abu Said Khudri RadhiAllahu anhu, somebody asked, "O Allah's Messenger Salallahu-alaihiwasallam! Who is the best among the people?" Allah's Messenger Salallahu-alaihiwasallam replied, "A believer who performs Jihad with his life and wealth." They asked, "Who is next?" He replied, "A believer who stays in one of the mountain paths worshipping Allah and leaving the people safe from his mischief." Sahih Bukhari, (p391, vol.1).
Explanation: It is clear from this Hadith that the person who does Jihad in Allah's path is more superior than other Muslims. This has also been clearly stated in the Quran:
"Allah has preferred in grades those who strive hard and fight with their wealth and lives above those who sit (at home). Unto each, Allah has promised good (Paradise), but Allah has preferred those who strive hard and fight above those who sit (at home) by a huge reward." (The Noble Quraan, 4 : 95.
It is regarding the great virtue and importance of Jihad that the Prophet Salallahu-alaihiwasallam participated in Jihad personally and urged his companions RadhiAllahu anhu upon this deed so much so that there was no deed more beloved and virtuous in the eyes of the Sahaba as much as Jihad. Some examples of the love for Jihad amongst the Sahabah:-
Hazrat Umar RadhiAllahu anhu said, "Perform Haj as this is a good deed, Allah has ordained us to perform Haj and Jihad is even better." Kanzul Ummal, (p258, vol.2).
Hazrat Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu anhu said: "Safeguarding the Muslim borders in the path of Allah (Jihad) is more beloved to me, than my worshipping Allah in the night of Qadr (Lailatul Qadr) in front of Hajera Aswad (the black stone in the corner of the Kaabah). When the time of Hazrat Khalid RadhiAllahu anhu came to depart from the world, he said, "I reached every possible place for Shahadah, but it was written in my fate that I should die on my bed. In my opinion there is no deed more dearer than my waiting with my horse and shield in the darkness of night, the sky to be glittering due to the rain, waiting for the onset of dawn, so that I can attack the enemy." Al Jihad by Ibne Mubarak, (p88).
Artat Bin Munzir reports that Umar RadhiAllahu anhu asked the people in his gathering, "Which person would attain the most virtue and reward?". The people suggested Zakat and Salah and agreed the highest rank is for the Ameer ul Mu,mineen (Umar RadhiAllahu anhu himself) and started naming other individuals. Hazrat Umar RadhiAllahu anhu then advised, "Shall I tell you the best person in terms of virtue who is even higher than the Ameer ul Mu,mineen (the leader of the Muslims)? The people replied, "Please do tell us." He said, "That small person who is holding the reins of his horse in Syria safeguarding the Muslim army, he is unaware if a wild animal will rip him apart or an insect will bite him or the enemy will attack. This person is higher in rank than those people whom you have mentioned and he is higher than the Ameer ul Mu,mineen in virtue." Kanzul Ummal, (p289, vol.2).
Hazrat Abu Bakr RadhiAllahu anhu used to walk with the Mujahideen (Islamic army) and accompany them to the outskirts of Madinah. Sunani Kubra Baihaqi, (p173, vol.9).
It is stated in a narration of Kanzul Ummal that a person came to Umar RadhiAllahu anhu and asked for a horse. Hazrat Umar RadhiAllahu anhu set the saddle on the horse and when that person started to ride off, Hazrat Umar RadhiAllahu anhu followed that person requesting he would supplicate for him. When Umar RadhiAllahu anhu departed from him, that person said, "O Allah give Umar RadhiAllahu anhu the best reward." Kanzul Ummal, (p289, vol.2).
May Allah give us the ability to follow the footsteps of the Sahabah RadhiAllahu anhu in their love for Jihad. Ameen. _________________ Kenali Kebanggaan Ummat Ini http://holyexplosive.blogdrive.com/
