FIQH 01-06: The Fitrah and Its Practical Aspects in Islam | Shaykh Assim Al-Hakeem | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at ZAD AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,In this session of Fiqh Semester 1 - Lecture 6, Shaykh Assim Al-Hakeem explains the concept of Fitrah — the natural disposition with which every human is created. This lecture highlights the spiritual and practical aspects of cleanliness and purity, emphasizing that these actions are both hygienic and acts of worship.The term Fitrah refers to the pure, innate nature that Allah instilled in all human beings. It inclines every person toward recognizing the Oneness of Allah and doing good deeds. Allah says:"So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth; [adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know."(Surah Ar-Rum 30:30, quran.com/30/30)This verse confirms that purity and devotion to Allah are embedded in human nature. A believer's task is to maintain and refine this purity through both beliefs and actions.Shaykh Assim explains that Fitrah is of two types:Spiritual Fitrah: The inherent inclination to believe in the Oneness of Allah (Tawheed).Practical Fitrah: The natural behaviors that maintain cleanliness, purity, and modesty — essential parts of Islamic practice.It was narrated that Talq bin Habib said: "Ten things are from the Sunnah: Using the Siwak, trimming the mustache, rinsing the mouth, rinsing the nose, letting the beard grow, trimming the nails, plucking the armpit hairs, circumcision, shaving the pubes and washing one's backside."Sunan an-Nasa'i 5042https://sunnah.com/nasai:5042It was narrated from 'Aishah that: The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: "Ten things are part of the Fitrah: Trimming the mustache, trimming the nails, washing the joints, letting the beard grow, using the Siwak, rinsing the nose, plucking the armpit hairs, shaving the pubes, and washing with water (after relieving oneself)." Mus'ab bin Shaibah said: "I have forgotten the tenth, unless it was rinsing the mouth."Sunan an-Nasa'i 5040https://sunnah.com/nasai:5040The Prophet ﷺ instructed specific hygienic acts that align with human nature:Using the Miswak: A natural tooth-cleaning stick. The Prophet ﷺ said:“The siwak is a means of purification for the mouth and pleasing to the Lord.”(Sunan an-Nasa'i 5, sunnah.com/nasai:5)Trimming the Mustache: It should not exceed the upper lip for cleanliness.Growing the Beard: A sign of obedience as the Prophet ﷺ commanded to let the beard grow and trim the mustache.(Sahih al-Bukhari 5892, sunnah.com/bukhari:5892)Clipping Nails, Plucking Armpit Hair, and Shaving Pubic Hair: Essential for hygiene and modesty. The Prophet ﷺ advised not exceeding forty days without performing these acts.(Sahih Muslim 258, sunnah.com/muslim:258)Islam integrates physical cleanliness with spiritual purity. By following these Sunnah practices, a Muslim maintains not only hygienic health but also strengthens their obedience to Allah. Purifying the body mirrors purifying the soul, reflecting the holistic beauty of Islam.ConclusionShaykh Assim Al-Hakeem concludes that the true believer embraces both aspects of Fitrah — spiritual faith and physical cleanliness — maintaining the purity Allah created us upon. These daily Sunnah practices cultivate discipline, gratitude, and closeness to Allah.

Understanding the Correct Creed: Insights from Shaykh Ahmad Al-Romh | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at ZAD AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,In the pursuit of authentic Islamic knowledge, ZAD Academy remains a beacon for students around the world, combining classical scholarship with modern education. This reflection from Shaykh Ahmad Al-Romh's lecture on Aqeedah (Creed) explores what it means to hold the belief of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama‘ah, the people of the Sunnah and the community.The lecture begins by encouraging believers to seek beneficial knowledge that nurtures both faith and intellect. Knowledge in Islam is not merely theoretical; it brings spiritual growth, discipline, and clarity. ZAD Academy promotes this principle, integrating technology and faith-based learning to equip students with the tools to spread ‘Ilm Shar‘i (religious knowledge).A cornerstone of the Islamic creed is the full submission to Allah's command and the Messenger's guidance. Allah says:“O you who believe! Enter into Islam completely and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.”(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:208, quran.com/2/208)Submission means that a believer accepts divine revelation without hesitation or doubt, recognizing that guidance comes only from Allah and His Messenger ﷺ. True faith manifests through obedience, not preference or personal interpretation.This principle is reaffirmed in another verse:“It is not for a believing man or woman—when Allah and His Messenger decree a matter—to have any other choice in that matter. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has truly gone far astray.”(Surah Al-Ahzab 33:36, quran.com/33/36)True believers are those who submit wholeheartedly to the judgment of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Allah says:“But no! By your Lord, they will never believe until they make you (O Muhammad) judge in their disputes, and find within themselves no discomfort about your decision, and submit in full submission.”(Surah An-Nisa 4:65, quran.com/4/65)Faith requires both internal conviction and external submission to what Allah and His Messenger have ordained.The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warned against excessive praise and exaggeration, saying:“Do not exaggerate in praising me as the Christians praised the son of Mary. I am only a servant, so call me the servant of Allah and His Messenger.”(Sahih al-Bukhari 3445, sunnah.com/bukhari:3445)Islam calls for balance and humility in worship. It rejects extremes while focusing on following the Prophet ﷺ sincerely in both action and belief.The correct creed is founded on faith, submission, and glorification of Allah. It is a natural disposition that removes doubt and strengthens conviction. Through platforms like ZAD Academy, students learn to embody these values, ensuring that knowledge leads to action, faith, and steadfastness upon the truth.References:Qur'an: 2:208, 33:36, 4:65Hadith: Sahih al-Bukhari 3445

The Six Types of Revelation and Early Stages of Prophethood | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,In this article, we explore the sixth lecture from Seerah – Semester 1 by Shaykh Assim Al-Hakeem, where he explains how revelation began for our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the early years of his secret da'wah. The journey of revelation marks the foundation of Islam and provides profound lessons about patience, wisdom, and divine connection.The scholars classified divine revelation (Wahy) into six distinct types experienced by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ:Revelation began with true dreams, which would unfold exactly as the Prophet ﷺ had seen them. This occurred six months before the first revelation in the Cave of Ḥirā'. The Prophet ﷺ said:“The truthful dream of a believer is one forty-sixth part of Prophethood.”(Sahih al-Bukhari 6989 – sunnah.com/bukhari:6989)Some scholars explain this fraction based on the Prophet's ﷺ 23 years of prophethood — six months being one forty-sixth of that duration.At times, Angel Jibrīl (Gabriel), peace be upon him, appeared as a man and spoke directly to the Prophet ﷺ. The famous hadith of Jibrīl illustrates this:“A man came to us, dressed in white clothes, with black hair... and asked the Prophet about Islam, Iman, and Ihsan.”(Sahih Muslim 8 – sunnah.com/muslim:8)Jibrīl would sometimes inspire the Prophet's heart without appearing. The Prophet ﷺ said:“The Holy Spirit has inspired me that no soul will die until it has received all its provision.”(Sunan Ibn Majah 2144 – sunnah.com/ibnmajah:2144)This was the hardest form. The Prophet ﷺ would receive the revelation with a sound resembling that of ringing bells, and it would cause physical strain. His companions noticed sweat on his forehead even on cold days during this intense form of revelation.The Prophet ﷺ saw Angel Jibrīl in his true form twice, with 600 wings, an image beyond human comprehension:Narrated `Abdullah: Regarding the Verses: 'And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer; So did (Allah) convey the Inspiration to His slave (Gabriel) and then he Gabriel) conveyed (that to Muhammad...' (53.9-10) Ibn Mas`ud narrated to us that the Prophet (ﷺ) had seen Gabriel with six hundred wings.Sahih al-Bukhari 4856https://sunnah.com/bukhari:4856“He has been taught by one mighty in power, Dhu Mirrah (with mighty wings)...”(Surah An-Najm 53:5-6 – quran.com/53/5-6)The final and greatest level was when Allah directly revealed to His Messenger ﷺ without any intermediary during the Isra' wa al-Mi‘raj (Night Journey). It was during this encounter that the commandment of five daily prayers was made obligatory.“Then He revealed to His servant what He revealed.”(Surah An-Najm 53:10 – quran.com/53/10)After the first revelation, Allah commanded His Messenger ﷺ:“Arise and warn.”(Surah Al-Muddaththir 74:2 – quran.com/74/2)The Prophet ﷺ began calling those closest to him in secret. The first to accept Islam included Khadijah (RA), Abu Bakr (RA), Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA), and his freed slave Zayd ibn Harithah (RA). For three years, Islam spread quietly, and around 130 men and women embraced the faith privately.During this period, Muslims prayed two units (rak‘ahs) connecting with Allah spiritually, before the five daily prayers were made obligatory in the heavens.The Prophet ﷺ's mission emphasized faith, purification of the heart, and righteous character — all essential foundations for the believers even before formal laws were revealed.Key Lesson: Revelation began gradually, preparing the Prophet ﷺ and his followers spiritually and emotionally for the immense mission ahead. The early secret da'wah teaches us that change begins with inner purification and close, sincere companionship for the sake of Allah.

Comparative Study of Tafsir Books: Al-Jalalayn & Al-Shawkani's Fath al-Qadir | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,The study of Tafsir (Quranic exegesis) is vital in unlocking the layers of meaning, guidance, and linguistic beauty of the Qur'an. In this session of Tafsir 01-06, Shaykh Dr. Ahmad ibn Saifuddin introduces the audience to two influential works in Tafsir: Tafsir al-Jalalayn and Fath al-Qadir by Imam al-Shawkani, contrasting their approaches and value for students and scholars alike.Imam Jalal ad-Din al-Mahalli (d. 864H) began Tafsir al-Jalalayn, and Jalal ad-Din al-Suyuti (d. 911H) completed it. This work is renowned for its concise explanations and its reliance on transmitted reports from the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions (as-salaf). The authors gathered narrations from major Hadith collections, such as Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, when clarifying verses of the Qur'an.However, a key point for students is that al-Jalalayn does not always verify the authenticity of these reports. The importance of grading Hadith is highlighted in the sciences, distinguishing between authentic (sahih), sound (hasan), and weak (da'if) narrations, a principle underscored in the Qur'an itself:"O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with news, investigate..." (Surah Al-Hujurat 49:6 – quran.com/49/6)A similar emphasis is found in the Prophet's ﷺ approach to reporting."It is enough for a man to prove himself a liar by conveying everything he hears." (Sahih Muslim 5 – sunnah.com/muslim:5)Contemporary scholars continue efforts to authenticate and clarify Hadith within classical Tafsir books.The second major work discussed is Fath al-Qadir by Imam Muhammad ibn Ali al-Shawkani (d. 1250H). Al-Shawkani approaches Tafsir with linguistic rigor, examining the grammar, recitation (qira'at), and the context of each ayah (verse). He evaluates scholarly differences among jurists and linguists and often selects the view supported by evidence.Al-Shawkani's method refutes deviant opinions, argues for salafi perspectives, and regularly chooses the strongest, most authentic interpretations. By analyzing the language of verses, he foregrounds the primary sources of Islam:"And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy to remember..." (Surah Al-Qamar 54:17 – quran.com/54/17)Transmission vs. Verification: Al-Jalalayn compiles many reports, but does not always verify them. Modern editorship involves grading reports and clarifying weak or authentic narrations.Linguistic and Analytical Evaluation: Fath al-Qadir stands out for its in-depth linguistic analysis, grammar, and juristic reasoning, opting for positions with the strongest evidence.Students are encouraged to compare the methodologies of these books and review the authenticity and nuances of each. This enhances one's understanding of the Qur'an and deepens respect for the scholarly tradition.Conclusion: Comparing classical and analytical Tafsir helps cultivate a holistic appreciation for the Qur'an's timeless wisdom rooted in authentic transmission and rigorous linguistic analysis.

Upholding the Rights and Honor of the Companions – Following the Way of the Sahabah in Islam | Tarbiyah Islamiyah 01-06 | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,In this session of Tarbiyah Islamiyah 01-06, Shaykh Ibrahim Zidan explores one of the central themes of Islamic creed and education — the rights of the Companions (Sahabah) and the obligation to love, respect, and defend them. These noble individuals were chosen by Allah to accompany the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and to transmit his message to later generations.Allah has explicitly praised the Sahabah in the Qur'an:“Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves.”(Surah Al-Fath 48:29 – quran.com/48/29)Loving the companions and following their understanding of the religion is an integral part of faith. Speaking negatively about them contradicts the direction of the Qur'an, where Allah commands believers never to criticize a people whom He has praised.“And the first forerunners [in faith] among the Muhajirun and the Ansar and those who followed them with good conduct – Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him.”(Surah At-Tawbah 9:100 – quran.com/9/100)This verse establishes that following the Sahabah's understanding is not optional but fundamental. Any attempt to diminish their standing ultimately weakens the foundation through which Islam reached us — the Qur'an and Sunnah, transmitted through their trustworthy efforts.All companions are deemed just and trustworthy (ʿudūl). The Prophet ﷺ said:“Do not revile my companions, for if one of you were to spend gold equal to Uhud in charity, it would not equal a handful of what they gave, or even half of it.”(Sahih al-Bukhari 3673 – sunnah.com/bukhari:3673)This hadith highlights their unmatched rank and contribution. The generation that carried and preserved Islam deserves immense respect. Thus, believers must avoid delving into historical disputes or criticizing their actions.The Prophet ﷺ forewarned that the ummah would experience divisions and gave clear guidance to remain upon his path and that of the rightly guided caliphs:“I urge you to adhere to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly-guided Caliphs after me. Hold fast to it with your molar teeth.”(Sunan Abi Dawood 4607 – sunnah.com/abudawud:4607)The way to salvation and unity is by adhering to Revelation through their understanding. This ensures protection from deviation and sectarianism.Love and Loyalty: Loving the companions is part of loving the Prophet ﷺ. Hating or insulting them endangers one's faith.Trust in Transmission: The Companions are reliable transmitters of the Qur'an and Sunnah; their righteousness is confirmed by Allah.Avoid Contention: Refrain from discussing past disputes among them.Follow Their Faith: Success lies in following the Qur'an and Sunnah according to their interpretation.Conclusion: The companions (Sahabah) are the spiritual foundation of this ummah. Upholding their honor safeguards our connection to the authentic teachings of Islam. As the Prophet ﷺ guided, steadfastness upon his Sunnah and the way of his Companions ensures unity, purity of faith, and salvation.

The Seventy Branches of Faith: Removing Harm and Embracing Modesty | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,Today's reflection highlights an essential teaching in Islam: the significance of small but sincere actions, and the role of modesty as a branch of true faith.One of the easiest and most impactful good deeds in Islam is to remove something harmful from the road. This act, praised by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, is not just an act of public service but a means for attaining Allah's forgiveness and mercy.As narrated by Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him):"While a man was on the way, he found a thorny branch of a tree on the road and removed it. Allah thanked him for that deed and forgave him."— Sahih al-Bukhari 2472 (sunnah.com/bukhari:2472)This hadith shows that even the smallest act, done with the right intention, is greatly valued by Allah. It teaches Muslims to prioritize benefiting others and being aware of the needs of the community.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ explained the nature of iman (faith):"Faith has over seventy branches or over sixty branches, the most excellent of which is the declaration that there is no god but Allah, and the humblest of which is the removal of what is injurious from the path: and modesty is a branch of faith."— Sahih Muslim 35b (sunnah.com/muslim:35b)This narration underlines that faith is not just a belief in the heart, but also a series of actions and qualities. The highest is to testify “La ilaha illa Allah”—that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah—and even acts that seem minor, like clearing a path, are included in faith.The Prophet ﷺ further explained that modesty (hayā') is a vital branch of faith. Modesty is not simply shyness; it is an internal feeling that inspires obedience to Allah and avoidance of what displeases Him, whether in public or private.Allah the Most High says:"Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their private parts; that is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is acquainted with what they do."— Qur'an 24:30 (quran.com/24/30)Modesty (hayā') promotes self-control, sincerity, and constant remembrance that Allah is watching. It protects a person from sins and encourages righteous conduct in all aspects of life.Every part of faith—belief, speech, or deed—must be rooted in the guidance of the Qur'an and Sunnah. The Quran confirms the importance of learning worship and manners directly from divine revelation:"Nor does he speak from his own inclination. It is but a revelation revealed."— Qur'an 53:3-4 (quran.com/53/3-4)By following both the Qur'an and the Sunnah, a Muslim's declaration of faith becomes sound and complete.Islam emphasizes beneficial action and inner refinement as part of true faith. Removing harm from the road, practicing modesty, and prioritizing sincerity in both public and private—all are vital branches of Iman that bring a believer closer to Allah's mercy. Let every act, no matter how small, be a seed of Paradise.May Allah allow us all to perfect our Iman by upholding every branch, and reward us for sincerity in action and character. Until next time, I leave you in the care of Allah.

Seerah 01-05: The Early Revelation of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy.The life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ can be divided into two important phases: the Meccan period and the Madinan period. Each stage had unique lessons and challenges, shaping the message of Islam. This blog post explores the preparation, first revelation, and the early prophetic experiences of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, derived from authentic sources of the Qur'an and Hadith.The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was born into Mecca and lived for 40 years before receiving the divine revelation. Although orphaned at an early age, Allah Himself protected and nurtured him. His father passed away before his birth, his mother when he was six, and his grandfather at eight. Despite these hardships, Allah preserved him from idolatry, immorality, and the common practices of ignorance prevalent in Mecca.“Did He not find you an orphan and give you refuge? And He found you lost and guided you.” (Qur'an 93:6-7, Quran.com)From his youth, the Prophet ﷺ was known as Al-Amin (the trustworthy). His people trusted him with their belongings and respected his wisdom. However, the Prophet ﷺ never worshipped idols nor engaged in their practices, distancing himself from shirk.Seeking closeness to Allah, the Prophet ﷺ would spend days in the Cave of Hira reflecting upon creation and the Oneness of God. This period of reflection was part of Allah's divine preparation for the great responsibility of prophethood.As Allah says:“Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding.” (Qur'an 3:190, Quran.com)The Prophet ﷺ's fitrah (pure nature) inclined him to worship the Creator alone, though he did not yet know the exact way until the revelation began.When the Prophet ﷺ was in the cave at the age of 40, the Angel Jibreel (Gabriel) appeared and commanded him, “Iqra” (Read/Recite). The Prophet ﷺ replied, “I cannot read.” This happened three times until Jibreel revealed the first verses of the Qur'an:“Recite in the name of your Lord who created. Created man from a clinging substance. Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous – Who taught by the pen – Taught man that which he knew not.” (Qur'an 96:1-5, Quran.com)Startled by the experience, the Prophet ﷺ rushed home to Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her), who comforted and reassured him. She reminded him of his noble character, saying Allah would never disgrace one who helps the poor, supports the needy, and maintains kinship ties.After a brief pause in revelation, the Prophet ﷺ once again encountered Angel Jibreel in his full majestic form, filling the horizon. The second revelation confirmed his mission, not only as a prophet but as a messenger sent to warn humanity:“O you who covers himself with a garment, arise and warn. And glorify your Lord. And purify your garments. And avoid uncleanliness.” (Qur'an 74:1-5, Quran.com)The Prophet ﷺ never faltered in conveying the message, for Allah assured him:“Your companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred. Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination. It is not but a revelation revealed.” (Qur'an 53:2-4, Quran.com)The early life of the Prophet ﷺ teaches us that Allah prepares His chosen ones with patience, trials, and protection.Seclusion and reflection are paths toward spiritual clarity.The Qur'an is a direct source of guidance revealed through Allah's mercy, and it must remain central in our lives.Supporting others, helping the poor, and maintaining honesty bring Allah's support and blessings.The Prophet ﷺ said:“The most beloved of deeds to Allah are those that are most consistent, even if they are few.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 6464, Sunnah.com)By following his example of sincerity, consistency, and devotion, we too can strengthen our faith and relationship with Allah.

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy.All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his family, companions, and all those who follow them until the Day of Judgment.In this blog, I will summarize a lesson from Zad Academy about major works of Tafsir (Qur'anic exegesis), focusing on their methodologies, authenticity, and contributions to Islamic scholarship.The Qur'an is the divine revelation sent for the guidance of humanity. Allah says:“This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah.” (Qur'an 2:2, Quran.com)To correctly understand the Qur'an, scholars devoted their lives in compiling Tafsir, drawing from the authentic Sunnah, statements of the Sahabah (companions), and reliable reports. The Prophet ﷺ emphasized the importance of knowledge when he said:“When Allah intends good for someone, He gives him understanding of the religion.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 71, Sunnah.com)Thus, Tafsir books remain critical in preserving the proper context, meanings, and rulings derived from the Qur'an.Imam al-Alawi (d. 516 AH) authored a summarized Tafsir that became widely acknowledged for its authenticity and reliability. He purified his Tafsir from weak and fabricated narrations, especially removing the Isra'iliyyat (Judeo-Christian reports) that had entered into earlier works.His methodology was based on:Authentic narrations from the Prophet ﷺ and his companions.Avoidance of weak hadiths and baseless stories.Presenting commentary in a concise and practical manner.Allah reminds us of the responsibility of transmitting knowledge truthfully:“And do not mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know [it].” (Qur'an 2:42, Quran.com)Another major contribution in Tafsir literature is Tafsir al-Qurtubi, authored by Imam al-Qurtubi (d. 671 AH) from Andalusia (modern-day Spain). His Tafsir focused on the legal and jurisprudential (Fiqh) rulings derived from the Qur'an. While he was primarily a Maliki scholar, he openly discussed opinions from all major schools of Islamic law, showing fairness and breadth of scholarship.His methodology involved:Grouping verses dealing with legal or thematic issues.Explaining reasons for revelation (Asbab al-Nuzul).Addressing linguistic analyses and contextual details.Comparing scholarly opinions with evidence from Qur'an and Sunnah.This made his Tafsir not just a commentary, but an encyclopedic work in Qur'anic legal rulings.The comparison of scholars such as Imam al-Alawi, Imam al-Qurtubi, and earlier authorities like Ibn Jarir al-Tabari shows the diversity of approaches to Tafsir. Some focused on narrations, others on Fiqh rulings, while all remained committed to preserving the meanings of Allah's speech.The Prophet ﷺ said:“The most truthful speech is the Book of Allah, and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad.” (Sahih Muslim 867, Sunnah.com)Therefore, Tafsir plays a vital role in linking Muslims to authentic understanding, free from innovations and distortions.Reliability in Tafsir depends on strict adherence to Qur'an and authentic Sunnah.Weak and fabricated narrations must be removed to preserve purity of interpretation.Scholars throughout history sought to clarify, authenticate, and transmit these works for the benefit of future generations.Students must approach Tafsir sincerely, with the intention of seeking Allah's pleasure and acting upon knowledge.Allah says:“And say, ‘My Lord, increase me in knowledge.'” (Qur'an 20:114, Quran.com)From Imam al-Alawi's purification of Tafsir literature to Imam al-Qurtubi's focus on Qur'anic rulings, these works remain essential for Muslims striving to understand their faith deeply. The methodologies of great scholars teach us the importance of preserving authenticity, sincerity, and balance in Islamic scholarship.

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,The Companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (the Sahabah) are the best generation of this Ummah. Allah praised them in the Qur'an, and the Prophet ﷺ affirmed their excellence in many authentic hadith. Love for them is part of faith, while hatred towards them is hypocrisy. In this post, we will explore Quranic verses and authentic narrations highlighting their rank and why they remain role models for all Muslims.Allah the Most High declared His pleasure with the earliest Muslims who sacrificed everything for His cause:“And the first forerunners among the Muhajirun and the Ansar and those who followed them with good conduct – Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him.” (Qur'an 9:100, Quran.com)This verse establishes their lofty status and guarantees Allah's pleasure for the sincere followers of their path.Similarly, Allah commands the later generations of believers:“And those who came after them say: Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith, and put not in our hearts any resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful.” (Qur'an 59:10, Quran.com)The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ explicitly confirmed the superiority of his Companions:“The best of my nation is my generation, then those who follow them, then those who follow them.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 3650, Sahih Muslim 2533, Sunnah.com)This hadith establishes that the Sahabah are the best of people after the Prophets. Following their way is guidance, while opposing them is misguidance.It was reported that Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked: “Who are the best people after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?” He replied: “Abu Bakr.” They asked: “Then who?” He said: “Umar.” They asked: “Then who?” He said: “Uthman.” When asked about himself, he said: “I am only a man among the Muslims.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 3671, Sunnah.com)Furthermore, Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA) said: “During the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ, we used to consider the best of people to be Abu Bakr, then Umar, then Uthman.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 3697, Sunnah.com)The Prophet ﷺ gave glad tidings of Jannah to ten companions by name:“Abu Bakr is in Paradise, Umar is in Paradise, Uthman is in Paradise, Ali is in Paradise, Talhah is in Paradise, al-Zubayr ibn al-‘Awwam is in Paradise, Abdur Rahman ibn Awf is in Paradise, Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas is in Paradise, Sa'id ibn Zayd is in Paradise, and Abu ‘Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah is in Paradise.” (Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 3747, Sunnah.com)This authentic narration highlights their guaranteed success with Allah's mercy.The Prophet ﷺ warned against belittling or insulting the Sahabah:“Do not revile my Companions, for if one of you were to spend gold equal to Mount Uhud, it would not equal a handful of what they spent, nor even half of it.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 3673, Sahih Muslim 2540, Sunnah.com)This hadith affirms their incomparable rank.The Prophet ﷺ advised the Ummah to stick to the guidance of the rightly guided Caliphs:Narrated Al-'Irbad bin Sariyah: "One day after the morning Salat, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) exhorted us to the extent that the eyes wept and the hearts shuddered with fear. A man said: 'Indeed this is a farewell exhortation. [So what] do you order us O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'I order you to have Taqwa of Allah, and to listen and obey, even in the case of an Ethiopian slave. Indeed, whomever among you lives, he will see much difference. Beware of the newly invented matters, for indeed they are astray.

The Rights of the Prophet ﷺ | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy.Alhamdulillah, we continue our journey in Islamic education by discussing the rights of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Loving the Prophet, following him sincerely, and avoiding extremism in his regard are among the greatest obligations of every believer. These rights are rooted in the Qur'an and Sunnah, guiding us to balance love with correct belief and practice.The Prophet ﷺ holds the highest status a human being can attain—servitude to Allah ﷻ and prophethood. Allah ﷻ says:“Say, [O Muhammad], I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God.”(Qur'an, Surah Al-Kahf 18:110 — Quran.com/18/110)While we must love the Prophet ﷺ more than ourselves, parents, and children, we are forbidden from exaggerating his status by attributing divine qualities to him. The Prophet ﷺ warned:“Do not exaggerate in praising me as the Christians praised the son of Mary, for I am only a slave. So call me the slave of Allah and His Messenger.”(Sahih al-Bukhari 3445 — Sunnah.com/bukhari:3445)Thus, claiming that the Prophet ﷺ was created from light, that he had no human qualities like shade, or that all creation was made for him, contradicts the Qur'an and authentic Sunnah.True love for the Prophet ﷺ means obedience. Allah ﷻ says:“He who obeys the Messenger has indeed obeyed Allah.”(Qur'an, Surah An-Nisa 4:80 — Quran.com/4/80)Innovations such as celebrating the Prophet's birthday (Mawlid) or swearing by his name were never practiced by the early generations. Instead, the Prophet ﷺ commanded:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If somebody innovates something which is not in harmony with the principles of our religion, that thing is rejected."(Sahih al-Bukhari 2697 — Sunnah.com/bukhari:2697)Therefore, the correct way to honor him is to follow his Sunnah inwardly and outwardly, avoiding additions to the religion.Among the Prophet's rights is love for his family and respect for his companions. He ﷺ said:“I remind you by Allah concerning my family.”(Sahih Muslim 2408 — Sunnah.com/muslim:2408)Regarding his companions, he ﷺ warned:“Do not abuse my companions, for if one of you were to spend gold equal to Uhud, it would not equal a handful or even half of what they gave.”(Sahih al-Bukhari 3673 — Sunnah.com/bukhari:3673)Loving and defending them is part of loving the Prophet ﷺ.The rights of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ include love, obedience, following his Sunnah, avoiding extremism, respecting his family, and honoring his companions. True love is shown through adherence to revelation, not by exaggeration or innovation.Allah ﷻ says:“Say, [O Muhammad], if you love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive you your sins.”(Qur'an, Surah Aal ‘Imran 3:31 — Quran.com/3/31)Following the Prophet ﷺ sincerely is the path to Allah's mercy, guidance, and Paradise.

Tafsir Books in Islam | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy.Alhamdulillah, in this lesson we continue our journey in understanding Tafsir (interpretation of the Qur'an). Tafsir is essential for Muslims because it helps us understand the divine words of Allah ﷻ in their correct meaning. Scholars throughout history have written great works of Tafsir, and in this article, we will explore the most famous classical books of Tafsir, their methodologies, and why they remain important today.Allah ﷻ says:“Indeed, this Qur'an guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward.”(Qur'an, Surah Al-Isra 17:9 — Quran.com/17/9)Understanding the Qur'an requires correct explanation. The Prophet ﷺ emphasized the importance of knowledge:“The best of you are those who learn the Qur'an and teach it.”(Sahih al-Bukhari 5027 — Sunnah.com/bukhari:5027)Therefore, the science of Tafsir developed to preserve authentic understanding and protect the Qur'an from misinterpretation.Scholars classified Tafsir into two main categories:Tafsir bil-Ma'thūr (Tafsir by transmission): Based on the Qur'an itself, Hadith of the Prophet ﷺ, sayings of the Companions (Sahabah), and the early generations (Tabi‘un).Tafsir bil-Ra'y (Tafsir by opinion): Based on scholarly reasoning. Some of it is accepted when it aligns with authentic knowledge, but it is rejected when it contradicts Qur'an, Sunnah, or established reports.The Prophet ﷺ warned against interpreting the Qur'an without knowledge:“Whoever speaks about the Qur'an without knowledge, let him take his seat in the Fire.”(Sunan al-Tirmidhi 2950 — Sunnah.com/tirmidhi:2950)Imam Abu Ja‘far Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari (d. 310H) wrote one of the earliest and greatest works of Tafsir. His book relied heavily on narrations from the Prophet ﷺ, the Companions, and the Tabi‘un. However, he also included reports from the Isra'iliyyat (Jewish and Christian traditions), which require caution. Despite this, scholars considered his Tafsir among the most authentic classical works.Imam Isma‘il ibn Kathir (d. 774H) authored Tafsir al-Qur'an al-‘Azim, which became one of the most widely used Tafsirs. He was very cautious with Isra'iliyyat and critiqued weak narrations. His Tafsir remains a cornerstone of Qur'anic understanding and has been translated into English and many other languages.Rely on authentic sources: Qur'an, Hadith, Sahabah, and early scholars.Be cautious of Isra'iliyyat: Some narrations may be weak or fabricated.Compare methodologies: Al-Tabari included Isra'iliyyat more frequently, while Ibn Kathir critiqued them and warned readers.Tafsir is a noble science that protects the meanings of the Qur'an and preserves the understanding of the early generations. Both Tafsir al-Tabari and Tafsir Ibn Kathir are treasures of Islamic scholarship. As students of knowledge, we must approach them with care, respect, and reliance on authentic chains of transmission.May Allah ﷻ grant us beneficial knowledge and guide us to the truth.

Sources of Aqeedah in Islam | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy. In this blog, I will summarize a key lesson on the sources of Aqeedah (Islamic creed). Aqeedah is the foundation of our faith, and it must be taken from authentic sources: the Qur'an, the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, and the consensus of the righteous predecessors.The Qur'an is the first and most important source of Aqeedah. Allah warns against opposing the Messenger ﷺ and abandoning the path of the believers:“And whoever opposes the Messenger after guidance has become clear to him and follows other than the way of the believers – We will turn him to what he has chosen and drive him into Hell, and evil it is as a destination.”(Qur'an, Surah An-Nisa 4:115)

Etiquettes of Relieving Oneself in Islam | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy. One of the most beautiful aspects of Islam is that it provides guidance for every part of our daily life, including something as natural as relieving oneself. While this may seem simple, the Prophet ﷺ taught us etiquettes that preserve purity, modesty, and respect for Allah's blessings.Allah ﷻ commands purification in the Qur'an:“Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves.”(Qur'an, Surah Al-Baqarah 2:222)

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy. In this blogpost, we will explore the marriages of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, their wisdom, and the noble role of the Mothers of the Believers. Islam teaches that marriage is a natural way to channel human inclinations through halal means. The Prophet ﷺ, like all human beings, married, but his marriages carried wisdom, mercy, and service to Islam.1. Marriage to Khadijah (RA)As a young man of 25, the Prophet ﷺ worked in trade under Khadijah (RA), a respected businesswoman. She witnessed his honesty, trustworthiness, and noble character through her servant Maysarah. Impressed, she proposed marriage. Despite turning down many dignitaries, Khadijah chose the Prophet ﷺ.The Prophet ﷺ married her, and their marriage lasted 25 years. He never married another woman during her lifetime. She was about 40 years old, and he was 25. From her, he had all his children except Ibrahim, who was born later from Maria al-Qibtiyya.Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Many amongst men attained perfection but amongst women none attained the perfection except Mary, the daughter of `Imran and Asiya, the wife of Pharaoh. And the superiority of `Aisha to other women is like the superiority of Tharid (i.e. an Arabic dish) to other meals."Sahih al-Bukhari 3769https://sunnah.com/bukhari:37692. His ChildrenWith Khadijah (RA), he had:Qasim (after whom he was nicknamed Abul Qasim)Abdullah (al-Tayyib or al-Tahir)Four daughters: Zaynab, Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthum, and Fatimah (RA).All his sons died in childhood. His daughter Fatimah (RA) died six months after him. His son Ibrahim, from Maria al-Qibtiyya, also died at two years old. The Prophet ﷺ bore these losses with patience and trust in Allah's decree.Allah says:“And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to the patient.”(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:155, quran.com)3. Marriages After KhadijahAfter Khadijah's death, the Prophet ﷺ married several women. Most were widows or divorced women who needed protection and support. His marriages also built alliances and conveyed the private aspects of his Sunnah.Among his wives were:Sawda bint Zamʿa (RA) – a widow.Aisha bint Abu Bakr (RA) – the only virgin wife, who narrated over 2,000 hadith.Zaynab bint Jahsh (RA) – whose marriage abolished pre-Islamic adoption (Surah al-Ahzab 33:37, quran.com).Umm Salama (RA) – a widow with children.Hafsa bint Umar (RA) – daughter of Umar ibn al-Khattab.Safiyyah bint Huyayy (RA) – from a Jewish background, honored through marriage after embracing Islam.Juwayriya bint al-Harith (RA) – her marriage led to the freeing of many captives.Maymunah bint al-Harith (RA) – the last wife he married.These marriages were not driven by desire but by divine wisdom, mercy for widows, strengthening community bonds, and preserving the Prophet's Sunnah.4. Wisdom of His MarriagesThe Prophet's ﷺ marriages taught Muslims:Compassion – caring for widows and orphans.Social Justice – freeing captives through marriage.Preservation of Knowledge – his wives conveyed intimate details of his private life for the Ummah's guidance.Allah says:“The Prophet is more worthy of the believers than themselves, and his wives are their mothers.” (Surah al-Ahzab 33:6, quran.com)The Prophet's ﷺ marriages were acts of mercy, justice, and divine wisdom. Khadijah (RA) was his first and most beloved wife. The Mothers of the Believers played an essential role in preserving Islam. Through his marriages, we learn lessons of patience, responsibility, and the importance of family.Notes:Khadijah (RA) was the Prophet's only wife during her lifetime.All his children except Ibrahim were from Khadijah.Most later marriages were to widows and served noble purposes.Aisha (RA) preserved much of the Sunnah.His wives are the Mothers of the Believers, honored forever in Islam.

Hadith 01-03: The Importance of Intention in Islam (Niyyah) | Insights from Shaykh Dr. Muhammad Salah | Zad Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiAssalamu Alaikum. I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy. In this blog, we explore a powerful Hadith that teaches us the importance of intention (niyyah) in all our actions. This Hadith is a core principle in Islam and reminds us that every deed is judged by its intention.1. The Hadith of IntentionThe Prophet ﷺ said:"Actions are but by intentions, and every man shall have only what he intended."(Sahih al-Bukhari 1, Sahih Muslim 1907) — sunnah.comhttps://sunnah.com/bukhari:1This Hadith was narrated by Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA). It teaches us that no action is accepted by Allah unless it is done sincerely for His sake. For example, during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, some migrated from Makkah to Madinah for worldly reasons, not for Allah. Their reward was based on their intention, not the act itself.2. The Meaning of NiyyahIn Arabic, niyyah means one's aim or purpose. In Islam, it refers to doing something purely for the sake of Allah. Whether it is praying, fasting, giving charity, or seeking knowledge—without the right intention, the reward is lost.Allah says in the Qur'an:"And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion..."(Surah Al-Bayyinah 98:5) — quran.com/98/53. Sincerity in WorshipEven acts of worship like wudu, ghusl, salah, or fasting require niyyah. For instance, if someone bathes to cool off but not with the intention of purification, it doesn't count as ghusl. The intention must precede the action.4. The Danger of Showing Off (Riya)If an act is done to impress others, it becomes riya (showing off) and Allah will not accept it.The Prophet ﷺ said:"I am the One who does not need any partner. Whoever does a deed for Me and for someone else, I will leave him to the one he associated with Me."(Sahih Muslim 2985) —https://sunnah.com/muslim:2985This includes people who recite Qur'an to be praised, give charity to be called generous, or fight to be called brave. On the Day of Judgment, these people will be thrown into Hell despite their good deeds.(Sahih Muslim 1905) — https://sunnah.com/muslim:1905a5. Turning Habits into WorshipSimple daily acts like feeding your family or paying bills can become worship if done with the right intention.The Prophet ﷺ said:"Even the bite you put in your wife's mouth is rewarded when done for Allah's sake."(Sahih al-Bukhari 56, Sahih Muslim 1628) — https://sunnah.com/muslim:1628aConclusionThis Hadith of intention forms the foundation of all Islamic practice. Let us always check our hearts, renew our intentions, and strive to please Allah alone. May Allah accept our deeds and make them sincerely for Him. Ameen.

Seerah 01-03: The Early Life and Divine Protection of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ | Insights from Shaykh Assim Al-Hakeem | Zad Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiAssalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh.I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy. In this blog post, we explore the early life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, focusing on divine signs, his noble character, and Allah's protection—long before he received revelation.1. Childhood and Allah's ProtectionAt age four, the Prophet ﷺ experienced the miraculous event of chest-splitting by Angel Jibreel (Gabriel), where his heart was purified with Zamzam water. This event purified him from Shaytaan's influence and occurred again before the Night Journey (Isra wa al-Mi'raj).Soon after, his mother Aaminah passed away during a trip to Yathrib (Madinah), leaving the Prophet ﷺ orphaned at age six. His grandfather Abdul Muttalib took custody and showed deep affection for him. Upon Abdul Muttalib's death two years later, the Prophet ﷺ was cared for by his uncle Abu Talib, despite the latter's poverty.2. Character Before ProphethoodThough surrounded by idol worship and immorality in Meccan society, Allah protected the Prophet ﷺ. He never touched idols, never drank alcohol, and never attended gatherings of immorality. Once, when he tried to attend a musical gathering, he fell asleep—divinely protected from such behavior.“Indeed, you are of a great moral character.” — Surah Al-Qalam 68:4 (quran.com/68/4)3. Hilf al-Fudul – Pact of JusticeThe Prophet ﷺ participated in a noble alliance known as Hilf al-Fudul, which was formed to uphold justice and protect the oppressed in Makkah. He later said:“I witnessed a pact of justice in the house of ‘Abdullah ibn Jud'an that was more beloved to me than red camels. If I were invited to something like it in Islam, I would accept.” — [Musnad Ahmad 1655] (authenticated by Al-Albani)This shows Islam encourages cooperation in justice, even with non-Muslims, as long as it does not contradict Shari'ah.4. The Value of Guiding Others to IslamDuring the Battle of Khaybar, the Prophet ﷺ emphasized that guiding someone to Islam is more valuable than wealth:“By Allah, if a single person is guided through you, it is better for you than red camels.” — Sahih al-Bukhari 2942https://sunnah.com/bukhari:2942This was said to Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA), showing how da'wah holds immense reward.5. Early Exposure to Trade and Global InteractionsThe Prophet ﷺ traveled with Abu Talib on a trade journey to Syria in his youth. Although some stories (like the monk Bahira) are unauthenticated, the Prophet's exposure to international trade laid a foundation for his later dealings and trustworthiness.Important Takeaways:Allah protected Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from birth.His early life reflects honesty, purity, and service.Islam supports justice and alliances that promote it.Guiding others to Islam is greater than worldly wealth.May Allah allow us to embody these lessons and spread truth with wisdom. — Zayd Haji, Zad Academy

Tarbiyah 01-03: Honoring the Final Messenger ﷺ | Insights from Shaykh Ibrahim Zidan | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. In this post, I will summarize key reminders about our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his finality, and our duty to follow him, based on Qur'anic verses and authentic hadiths.1. Praise to Allah and the Prophet ﷺAll praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. Peace and blessings be upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his family, and companions. We testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad ﷺ is His final Messenger.2. The Love of the Companions for the Prophet ﷺUrwah ibn Mas'ud (RA) said during the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah:"I have visited kings like Caesar, but never have I seen a leader more loved and obeyed by his companions than Muhammad ﷺ." This shows the deep respect and love the Sahabah had for the Prophet ﷺ — a sign of true belief.3. Follow the Unlettered Prophet ﷺAllah says in the Qur'an:“…So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, who believes in Allah and His words. Follow him so that you may be guided.” — Surah Al-A'raf 7:158 This verse shows that guidance comes by following Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.4. Finality of ProphethoodAllah clearly states:“Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the seal of the prophets.” — Surah Al-Ahzab 33:40 Belief in his finality is a core part of Islamic faith. Anyone who claims a prophet will come after him is rejecting a clear Qur'anic teaching.5. Protection from ErrorThe Prophet ﷺ did not make mistakes in conveying the message. Allah says:“Your companion (the Prophet) has neither gone astray nor erred.” — Surah An-Najm 53:26. No Religion Accepted Except IslamAllah says clearly:“And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.” — Surah Al-Imran 3:857. The Prophet's Final SermonIn the Farewell Khutbah, the Prophet ﷺ said:“I have conveyed the message and fulfilled the trust.” He fulfilled his mission. Allah commands:“Say: O mankind, I am the Messenger of Allah to you all…” — Surah Al-A'raf 7:1588. His Message Is for All HumanityThe Prophet ﷺ said:“There is nothing between the heavens and the earth that does not know I am the Messenger of Allah, except the sinners among jinn and mankind.” — Musnad Ahmad – Hadith of Jabir“The previous prophets were sent to their nations only, but I have been sent to all of mankind.” — Sahih al-Bukhari 335https://sunnah.com/bukhari:335ConclusionAs Muslims, we must love, follow, and obey the Prophet ﷺ. His message is final, universal, and the only path to salvation. Let us hold firm to his Sunnah, honor his legacy, and invite others with wisdom

Impure Water in Islam: Rulings and PurificationUnderstanding Water Purity According to Quran and SunnahAssalamu Alaikum.I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy. In this short blog, we will discuss the rulings of impure water in Islam—what makes water impure, and how to purify it—based on the Qur'an and Sunnah.Alhamdulillah, in Islamic jurisprudence, water purity is a vital subject. Water is essential not only for physical cleanliness but for acts of worship like wudu (ablution) and ghusl (ritual bath). In this blog post, we explore the rulings related to impure water, based on Quran and Hadith, as explained by scholars.1. Why Study Impure Water?We must understand impure water because:It cannot be used to remove ritual impurity (minor or major).It cannot purify filth (najasah).It becomes contagious, making whatever it touches impure.It cannot be used for drinking or cooking.2. What Makes Water Impure?Water becomes impure (najis) if it comes in contact with a physical impurity and any of its three characteristics—color, smell, or taste—change as a result.The Prophet ﷺ said:“Water is pure and nothing makes it impure.” — Sunan Abu Dawood 66 (authentic)https://sunnah.com/abudawud:66For example:If urine, feces, blood, or a dead animal contaminates the water and changes its color, smell, or taste, the water is impure.But if a pure substance like saffron changes the water, the water remains pure.3. How to Purify Impure Water?a) Add More Pure WaterIf enough pure water is added to impure water so that the change in color, taste, or smell disappears, the water becomes pure again.Example from Hadith:A Bedouin urinated in the masjid, and the Prophet ﷺ said:“Pour a bucket of water over it.” — Sahih al-Bukhari 220https://sunnah.com/bukhari:220This teaches us that impurity can be removed by overwhelming it with pure water.b) Wait for Natural PurificationOver time, impurities may disappear naturally due to environmental factors (evaporation, sunlight, etc.). If no impurity remains, the water is pure.c) Filtration and Treatment (Modern Methods)Today, technology like desalination and chemical treatment can remove impurities from sewer water, making it safe and pure again, provided the three characteristics return to normal.4. How to Judge If Water Is Impure?The scholars agree:If any one of the three characteristics is changed by impurity, the water is impure.If none of them change, even if a drop of impurity falls in, the water remains pure—especially when the water body is large like a swimming pool.Allah says:“And We made from water every living thing.” — Surah Al-Anbiya 21:30This verse reminds us of the value and necessity of clean, usable water.5. Practical TipIn dire situations (war, drought, etc.), if you only have slightly suspected water, check for the three characteristics. If there's no visible impurity, the default rule in Islam is that the water is pure.Conclusion:Islamic rulings on water purity are merciful and practical. By observing the three signs (smell, taste, color), and using purification methods, we ensure our worship is valid and our hygiene preserved.May Allah increase us in knowledge. Ameen.

Aqeedah 01-03: Understanding Aqeedah: Tawheed and the Danger of Shirk | Lessons from Shaykh Ahmad Al Romh | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah.I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy. This blog briefly explores Aqeedah—the Islamic creed—focusing on Tawheed (the Oneness of Allah) and the severe warning against Shirk (associating partners with Allah).1. What Is Aqeedah?Aqeedah means belief or creed. It is the firm conviction a Muslim holds in their heart, especially about Allah, His attributes, and His commands. Aqeedah forms the foundation of Islam and affects every aspect of a Muslim's life.“So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth, the natural disposition (fitrah) which Allah has instilled in mankind.” — Qur'an 30:302. Tawheed – The Heart of AqeedahTawheed means affirming that Allah is One in His Lordship, Names and Attributes, and in His right to be worshipped alone. It is the message of all Prophets.“And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], ‘Worship Allah and avoid Taghut (false gods).'” — Qur'an 16:36The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:“The Prophets are paternal brothers; their religion is one.” — Sahih al-Bukhari 3443https://sunnah.com/bukhari:34433. Fitrah – Our Natural DispositionEvery human is born upon fitrah, a natural belief in Allah. The environment later influences the child's path.“Every child is born upon the fitrah, then his parents make him a Jew, Christian, or Magian.” — Sahih Bukhari 1385https://sunnah.com/bukhari:1385Allah has placed in every soul the natural inclination toward monotheism.4. The Straight Path and HanifProphet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) is described in the Qur'an as a Hanif, someone who turns away from Shirk toward Tawheed.“Indeed, Abraham was a nation, devoutly obedient to Allah, inclining toward truth (Hanif), and he was not of those who associate others with Allah.” — Qur'an 16:120Muslims ask for this path daily:“Guide us to the straight path.” — Qur'an 1:6A Hanif is one who follows the pure monotheism of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him), worshipping Allah alone, free from Judaism, Christianity, and all forms of Shirk.— Sahih al-Bukhari 3827https://sunnah.com/bukhari:38275. Shirk – The Greatest SinShirk is the opposite of Tawheed. It is to associate partners with Allah, and it nullifies one's deeds.“Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills.” — Qur'an 4:48The Prophet ﷺ said:“I created all My servants as monotheists, but the devils misled them.” — Sahih Muslim 2865https://sunnah.com/muslim:2865Conclusion:Aqeedah is the root of Islamic faith. Understanding Tawheed and avoiding Shirk leads to salvation. May Allah keep us firm on the straight path. Ameen.

Al-Mugheera Ibn Shu'ba رضي الله عنه Session 55 The shrewdest persons during the time of civil unrest were 5, Hadrat Amr ibn al-Aas (ra) and Hadrat Mu'aawiyah (ra) from the Quraysh. Hadrat Qays ibn Sa'ad (ra) from amongst the Ansaar. Hadrat al-Mugheerah ibn Shu'ruba (ra) from the Thaqeef: And; Hadrat Abdullah ibn Budayl ibn Warqa al-Khuzaa'ee (ra) from amongst the Emigrants. Hadrat Qays (ra) and Hadrat ibn Budayl (ra) were on Hadrat Alee 'S (ra) side -whilst Hadrat al-Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba (ra) remained neutral during the conflict. (Haafiz Dhahabi [rah] in his Siyar). "I like being in authority for 3 reasons - and I also hate it for 3 reasons; I like it for I can raise supporters (ie to support the Truth and unity), lower the enemies (ie by incapacitating them) and obtaining things (lawfully but) cheaply. And; I hate it for. fear of espionage (ie the plotting of unruly ones which will thus naturally tarnish my name), the death of being deposed (ie and thus losing the benefit of helping the Ummah) and the gloating of the enemy (ie at having foolishly achieved this). (Haafiz Ibn Abd Rabbih [rah]). "Yerily, Allah (SWT) detests for you three (matters). Talking too much or about others. Wasting of wealth. Asking too many (ie unnecessary) questions (Bukhari). Recite this at the conclusion of Salah "O Allah (SWT)! None can deny that which You bestow. And none can bestow that whteh Yow hold back and "al-fad'du" (o-good fortune and prosperity) will be of no avall to, them agalnst Your "alad'edu" (e the true good fortune and prosperity namely, faith and-pure-righteous deeds), Bukhari. When people would ask Mugheerah (ra) about his fading health, he would thus often respond with the most profound words and touching words... We entered the morning drowning in bounties and unable to give thanks, Our Lord (SWT) (thus) woos us whilst He (SWT) is free from us- whilst we make ourselves loathsome to Him (SWT) while we are always in need of Him (SWT) Ibn Abi Dunya. This supplication echoes the divine words... O child of Adam My good is descending incessantly upon you whilst your evil ascends. I SWT am wooing you with My Favours - whilst you are making yourself loathsome to Me by sins. Indeed, a noble Angel (as) ascends constantly with evil from you (Ahmad).

Some say women must never leave the house. Others treat it like there are no guidelines at all. But what did the Prophet ﷺ actually say? In this episode, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains the second hadith from the book الأربعون النسائية (The Forty Hadiths for Women) — a concise and powerful narration from ʿAishah رضي الله عنها: “Permission has been granted for you to go out for your needs.” (Agreed upon – al-Bukhari and Muslim) What's the context of this statement? A moment involving Sawdah رضي الله عنها and ʿUmar رضي الله عنه sparked this guidance — and it opens up a meaningful discussion around what qualifies as a "need" (Haajah), and how modesty was practised at the time. You'll also learn: - Who ʿAishah رضي الله عنها was — her early life, marriage to the Prophet ﷺ, and her deep scholarship - How the Prophet's ﷺ wives balanced public needs with modesty - The fiqh rulings derived from this narration - The deeper wisdom behind this hadith and what scholars have said about it Grounded, clear, and relevant — this session provides practical guidance for Muslims navigating this topic today.

A chain of narration might look complete—until you realise one connection was only assumed, not proven. In the second session of the explanation of the book Nukhbat al-Fikr, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble continues uncovering the inner mechanics of hadith authentication. This session goes beyond theory—showing how a single oversight, a misplaced narrator, or a subtle shift in wording can make the difference between acceptance and rejection. You'll explore the exacting methods used to spot breaks in the isnad, the difference between broken and deleted chains, and how scholars dealt with weak or misleading reports. From the high standards of Bukhari and Muslim to the dangers of modal defects, every principle reveals just how much scrutiny was required to protect the Sunnah.

A chain of narration might look complete—until you realise one connection was only assumed, not proven. In the second session of the explanation of the book Nukhbat al-Fikr, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble continues uncovering the inner mechanics of hadith authentication. This session goes beyond theory—showing how a single oversight, a misplaced narrator, or a subtle shift in wording can make the difference between acceptance and rejection. You'll explore the exacting methods used to spot breaks in the isnad, the difference between broken and deleted chains, and how scholars dealt with weak or misleading reports. From the high standards of Bukhari and Muslim to the dangers of modal defects, every principle reveals just how much scrutiny was required to protect the Sunnah.

There comes a point when the adage "there's an app for that" becomes too on-the-nose.Enterprises need to be able to manage numerous networking and security applications from multiple vendors, but balancing multiple APIs and licenses across those applications creates complexity, Nabil Bukhari, CTO of Extreme Networks, told Light Reading at the company's Extreme Connect event in Paris this week.During this podcast, Bukhari explains the challenges enterprises face in networking and security application management and how the use of AI can simplify network automation and connectivity. But, AI should be used for more than just automating tasks, it should also automate business outcomes, he adds. That could mean "automating the entire process your [networking and security] teams would do anyway" by using AI to troubleshoot problems, remediate issues and catalogue the steps AI took to solve the issue, he says.

Bismillahi Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and may blessings and peace be upon the best of messengers, our master Mohammad, and upon all his family and companions… Bukhari extracted in...
