Understanding the Hadith of Jibril: Insights into Islam, Iman, and IhsanPraise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon His Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).The Hadith of Jibril (Gabriel) is one of the most profound teachings in Islam. It encapsulates the core aspects of the faith: Islam, Iman (faith), and Ihsan (excellence). This famous narration, recorded in Sahih Muslim, provides a comprehensive understanding of Islamic beliefs and practices.The Story of the HadithThe Hadith of Jibril is narrated by Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). One day, a man in immaculate white clothes approached the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) while the companions were gathered. Without any signs of travel, he asked about Islam, Iman, and Ihsan. The Prophet answered, and the man confirmed each response. After the man left, the Prophet revealed that it was Jibril, who came to teach the companions their religion. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 8a)1. Islam: The Five PillarsThe Prophet (peace be upon him) explained Islam through its five pillars:Testifying that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His Messenger.Establishing regular prayers.Paying Zakat (charity).Fasting during Ramadan.Performing Hajj (pilgrimage) if capable.These pillars form the foundation of a Muslim's practical obligations. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 8a)Reference:"Certainly, Allah's only Way is Islam. Those who were given the Scripture did not dispute among themselves out of mutual envy until knowledge came to them. Whoever denies Allah's signs, then surely Allah is swift in reckoning." (Quran 3:19)2. Iman: The Six Articles of FaithThe Prophet defined Iman as believing in:Allah.His Angels.His Books.His Messengers.The Last Day.Divine Decree (Qadr), both good and evil.These beliefs form the spiritual and intellectual foundation of a Muslim. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 8a)Reference:"The Messenger firmly believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. They all believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, and His messengers. They proclaim, 'We make no distinction between any of His messengers.' And they say, 'We hear and obey. We seek Your forgiveness, our Lord! And to You alone is the final return.'" (Quran 2:285)3. Ihsan: Excellence in WorshipIhsan represents the highest level of faith, where a believer worships Allah as though they see Him, knowing that even if they do not see Him, He certainly sees them. This level emphasizes sincerity and devotion.Reference:"Establish prayer, and pay alms-tax. Whatever good you send forth for yourselves, you will certainly find its reward with Allah. Surely Allah is All-Seeing of what you do." (Quran 2:110)4. Signs of the HourJibril also questioned the Prophet about the signs of the Day of Judgment. The Prophet mentioned signs such as:The slave woman giving birth to her mistress.The barefooted shepherds competing in constructing tall buildings.These predictions signify social and moral transformations that will precede the Day of Judgment.Reference:"Indeed, Allah alone has the knowledge of the Hour. He sends down the rain, and knows what is in the wombs. No soul knows what it will earn for tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware." (Quran 31:34)Final ThoughtsThe Hadith of Jibril serves as a cornerstone for Islamic learning. It reminds Muslims to adhere to the pillars of Islam, strengthen their faith, and strive for Ihsan in all actions. May Allah guide us in understanding and practicing our religion sincerely.May peace and blessings be upon Prophet Muhammad and all his companions. Ameen.

In this episode, a powerful discussion unfolds about the fear of hypocrisy that even the greatest companions had. With insights from Imam Bukhari's chapter on the nullification of deeds and the profound humility of figures like Umar ibn Khattab, this session challenges the common complacency many have about their faith. The lesson also delves into the balance between hope and fear in Islam, the dangers of blind self-assurance, and the wisdom behind prophetic guidance on sincerity. A thought-provoking reflection that will leave you questioning your very spiritual state.

Ustadz Najmi Umar Bakkar - Mengenal Lebih Dekat Umar Bin Khattab

Welcome to the Islamic Studies Research Podcast Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. I am Zayd Haji, currently pursuing a Postgraduate Program in Islamic Science at Zad Academy. My journey aims to deepen my understanding of our Deen and enhance my grasp of its teachings. Today, I am eager to share insights from our recent study on Aqeedah at Zad Academy, exploring the fundamental principles of Islamic faith and their impact on our lives. The Importance of Knowledge in Islam: A Glimpse from ZAD Academy In Islam, the pursuit of beneficial knowledge is not merely encouraged but is an obligation for every Muslim. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) emphasized this in a profound statement: "Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim" (Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith 224). This hadith underscores that acquiring knowledge is a duty incumbent upon all Muslims, highlighting its central role in the practice of Islam. ZAD Academy plays a pivotal role in this regard, offering pure and authentic knowledge that aligns with the Qur'an and Sunnah. By providing a structured approach to Islamic education, ZAD Academy ensures that the knowledge imparted is both clear and reliable. Allah states in the Qur'an, "Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge, by degrees" (Qur'an, 58:11). This verse highlights the elevated status of those who seek and possess knowledge, affirming its significance in both this world and the Hereafter. Understanding the Correct Islamic Creed (Aqeedah) A solid understanding of Aqeedah, or Islamic creed, is foundational to a Muslim's faith. The correct belief system forms the core of Islamic practice and guides a Muslim's actions and worship. One key hadith that outlines the pillars of Aqeedah is the Hadith of Gabriel, narrated by Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). This hadith, reported in Sahih Muslim, Book 1, Hadith 1, illustrates the essential components of faith: belief in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and predestination. Another important hadith concerning Aqeedah is narrated by Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), where the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Islam is based on (the following) five (principles): To testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). To offer the (compulsory congregational) prayers dutifully and perfectly. To pay Zakat (i.e. obligatory charity). To perform Hajj (i.e. Pilgrimage to Mecca). To observe fasting during the month of Ramadan." Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 8 In-book reference: Book 2, Hadith 1 This hadith succinctly covers the five pillars of Islam, which form the foundation of a Muslim's practice. Understanding these principles is crucial for anyone seeking to deepen their faith and adhere to the teachings of Islam. The Concept of Fitrah Islamic teachings also emphasize that humans are born with a natural inclination towards the belief in one God, known as "fitrah." The Qur'an states, "So be steadfast in faith in all uprightness ˹O Prophet˺—the natural Way of Allah which He has instilled in ˹all˺ people. Let there be no change in this creation of Allah. That is the Straight Way, but most people do not know" (Qur'an, 30:30). This verse underscores that the innate disposition of every human being is to believe in the oneness of Allah. Knowledge serves as a means to return to this pure state of faith, clearing doubts and providing clarity. Conclusion In summary, seeking knowledge elevates our status in this world and the Hereafter, deepens our faith, and guides our worship of Allah. May we pursue beneficial knowledge with sincerity and share it with others. Ameen. Thank you for joining us on the Islamic Studies Research Podcast—until next time, may your quest for knowledge be ever enlightening and rewarding.

We will continue discussing the biography of the Caliph Omar ibn al-Khattab may Allah raise his rank. Today, we will be highlighting his strong stance on justice and wellbeing for Muslims. second part

- On the Prophet's anniversary, it's important to revisit his status and the differences in how Muslims perceive it, particularly between Sunni and Shi'a views. - Sunnis often distinguish between the Prophet's "official" and "personal" statements, with only the official ones considered binding, whereas Shi'as view all of his statements as divinely inspired and thus equally important. - The Shi'a perspective is that deciding whether a statement is official or personal is problematic and undermines the absolute obedience commanded by the Qur'an. - The issue of succession and the Prophet's status was evident during his last days, especially in the incident known as "the sorrow of Thursday," where his attempt to write a will was opposed. - Narrations from Sahih al-Bukhari describe how some companions, particularly 'Umar ibn Khattab, resisted the Prophet's request to write a will, questioning his sanity or suggesting that the Qur'an alone was sufficient. - The Prophet's reaction to this opposition, as recorded, included statements that suggested frustration or disapproval of the dispute. - The event highlights a divide between those who believed in complete adherence to the Prophet's wishes and those who felt they could judge the necessity of his commands. - Two years later, Abu Bakr's appointment of 'Umar as his successor was accepted, including modifications made by the scribe, raising questions about the consistency in accepting or rejecting succession instructions. - Historical accounts, such as those from Ibn Abil Hadid and Tabari, reveal how some leaders, including 'Umar, justified their actions by claiming concern for Islam while undermining the Prophet's clear instructions. - The debate over the Prophet's succession and the subsequent actions of early Muslim leaders reflect a broader issue of loyalty to the Prophet's teachings versus political considerations. 28th Safar 1446 AH Sunday, September 1st 2024 Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/ Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

He is Abu Hafs ^Umar Ibn al- Khattab, the just Caliph al-Faruq.

Masjid ad Zarar, the Mosque of Harm, was a mosque built by the hypocrites of Madinah to coverty oppose the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). They completed it just before Prophet Muhammad departed on the Expedition of Tabuk.Upon his return, Allah revealed their hypocracy in the Quran and the Prophet ordered the mosque to be destroyed.Soon after, Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul, the leader of the Munafiqeen fell critically ill, and he asked the Prophet to pray for him. After his death, his son asked the Prophet to lead his father's funeral prayer.Out of mercy, the Prophet decided to pray for him, but Umar ibn al-Khattab forcefully objected, grabbing the prophet by his shirt, claiming Allah had prohibited the prayer. The Prophet replied "Allah has given me the choice. He said 'If you seek forgiveness 70 times, God will not forgive him" (there's no prohibition given) so I'll ask for more than 70 times."Key lessons from this include:  - Don't pray in a mosque that advances the agenda of Islam's enemies. Don't become their pawns  - Worship cannot be detached from the political goals of Islam  - Leaders serve as exemplars for others, and thus have an elevated responsibility  - When we restrict acccess to centers of corruptions, we still have to provide alternatives  - The true worth of a masjid is reflected in the character of it's congregation  - Earnest desire for purification is a virtue Allah loves  - The worth of our actions depends on our intentions  - Anything undertaken with evil intentions is always on the verge of collapse  - Misuse of a mosque is a type of oppression  - Sometimes spiritual and psychological ailments are deeply rooted traits that resist changeLife of Prophet Muhammad by Sheikh Azhar NasserLive classes + Q&A held on Wednesdays at 6:30pm PST at www.why-quran.orgGet notified of upcoming Live classes & Q&A sessions:- Subscribe for email updates on www.why-quran.org/subscribe- Join us on Telegram @Why_QuranLecture slides available at http://www.why-quran.org/?p=735Playlist of this series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpkB0iwLgfTat-Pgh4W3WFmupPamiC9UTMore classes can be found at http://www.why-quran.org

Gendering the Hadith Tradition: Recentering the Authority of Aisha, Mother of the Believers (Oxford UP, 2024) presents for the first time a partial translation and study of Imam Badr al-Din al-Zarkashi's work, al-Ijaba li-Iradi ma Istadraktahu Aisha Ala al-Sahabah-"The Corrective: Aisha's Rectification of the Companions. "It critically analyses from the perspective of hadith criticism a number of sections presenting Aisha's refutations and corrections of key Companions including, Umar b. al-Khattab, Abdullah b. Abbas, Zayd b. Thabit, and Abu Hurayra, applying classical hadith methodology to the scrutiny of narrators by way of impugnment and validation (al-jarh wa al-tadil) in an effort to re-construct and re-present Aisha as a central authority in Islamic knowledge production. This work constitutes a major rethinking of the Muslim hadith and jurisprudential traditions by evaluating how Aisha responded to hadiths that were circulating and being ascribed, often incorrectly, as authoritative statements of the Prophet Muhammad. From her critique of overwhelmingly male Companions of the Prophet, the study elicits a methodology for hadith criticism which is sure to challenge classical approaches. Sofia Rehman unearths the scholarly acumen of this great female Companion and mother of the believers, in her discussion of several legal positions which Aisha held in contradistinction to many of the male authorities among the Companions. This interdisciplinary study serves as a model for how the voice of Aisha may be given renewed life and significance in the way it re-centres her traditions and thinking. A crucial aspect is its contributing to expanding the horizons of multiple Islamic disciplines. A major contribution to the study of hadith lies in the development of an emergent methodology of Aisha in the scrutiny of the actual statements (matn) of traditions, not just the chains of transmission (isnad). The contributions of this study to the development of the Muslim legal tradition (fiqh) also lies in a framework that emerges from this research based on the pattern of how Aisha approaches juridical matters. The implications for this are many, especially regarding women and their spiritual and daily life and practice.“ Sofia Rehman is an independent scholar of Islam, trained both traditionally in Syria and Turkey, and in Western academia, receiving her PhD from the University of Leeds. She advocates bridging the gap between scholarship on Islam and the Muslim community, setting up critical reading groups with global reach to facilitate learning and empowerment. She is a contributor to Mapping Faith: Theologies of Migration, edited by Lia Shimada, Cut from the Same Cloth?, edited by Sabeena Akhtar and Violent Phenomena: 21 Essays on Translation, edited by Kavita Bhanot and Jeremy Tiang. She is author of A Treasury of Aisha Bint Abu Bakr. Tugrul Mende holds an M.A in Arabic Studies. He is based in Berlin as a project coordinator and independent researcher.

"It critically analyses from the perspective of hadith criticism a number of sections presenting Aisha's refutations and corrections of key Companions including, Umar b. al-Khattab, Abdullah b. Abbas, Zayd b. Thabit, and Abu Hurayra, applying classical hadith methodology to the scrutiny of narrators by way of impugnment and validation (al-jarh wa al-tadil) in an effort to re-construct and re-present Aisha as a central authority in Islamic knowledge production. This work constitutes a major rethinking of the Muslim hadith and jurisprudential traditions by evaluating how Aisha responded to hadiths that were circulating and being ascribed, often incorrectly, as authoritative statements of the Prophet Muhammad. From her critique of overwhelmingly male Companions of the Prophet, the study elicits a methodology for hadith criticism which is sure to challenge classical approaches. Sofia Rehman unearths the scholarly acumen of this great female Companion and mother of the believers, in her discussion of several legal positions which Aisha held in contradistinction to many of the male authorities among the Companions. This interdisciplinary study serves as a model for how the voice of Aisha may be given renewed life and significance in the way it re-centres her traditions and thinking. A crucial aspect is its contributing to expanding the horizons of multiple Islamic disciplines. A major contribution to the study of hadith lies in the development of an emergent methodology of Aisha in the scrutiny of the actual statements (matn) of traditions, not just the chains of transmission (isnad). The contributions of this study to the development of the Muslim legal tradition (fiqh) also lies in a framework that emerges from this research based on the pattern of how Aisha approaches juridical matters.

Should internal audit only report to the board? Or is administrative reporting to the CEO/CFO still acceptable? What even is administrative reporting, anyway? Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that will make you rethink the terms we've always taken for granted!

Abstract Systems for Open-Domain Question Answering (OpenQA) generally depend on a retriever for finding candidate passages in a large corpus and a reader for extracting answers from those passages. In much recent work, the retriever is a learned component that uses coarse-grained vector representations of questions and passages. We argue that this modeling choice is insufficiently expressive for dealing with the complexity of natural language questions. To address this, we define ColBERT-QA, which adapts the scalable neural retrieval model ColBERT to OpenQA. ColBERT creates fine-grained interactions between questions and passages. We propose an efficient weak supervision strategy that iteratively uses ColBERT to create its own training data. This greatly improves OpenQA retrieval on Natural Questions, SQuAD, and TriviaQA, and the resulting system attains state-of-the-art extractive OpenQA performance on all three datasets. 2020: O. Khattab, Christopher Potts, M. Zaharia https://arxiv.org/pdf/2007.00814.pdf

Neural information retrieval (IR) has greatly advanced search and other knowledge-intensive language tasks. While many neural IR methods encode queries and documents into single-vector representations, late interaction models produce multi-vector representations at the granularity of each token and decompose relevance modeling into scalable token-level computations. This decomposition has been shown to make late interaction more effective, but it inflates the space footprint of these models by an order of magnitude. In this work, we introduce Maize, a retriever that couples an aggressive residual compression mechanism with a denoised supervision strategy to simultaneously improve the quality and space footprint of late interaction. We evaluate Maize across a wide range of benchmarks, establishing state-of-the-art quality within and outside the training domain while reducing the space footprint of late interaction models by 6–10x. 2021: Keshav Santhanam, O. Khattab, Jon Saad-Falcon, Christopher Potts, M. Zaharia https://arxiv.org/pdf/2112.01488.pdf

Pre-trained language models are increasingly important components across multiple information retrieval (IR) paradigms. Late interaction, introduced with the ColBERT model and recently refined in ColBERTv2, is a popular paradigm that holds state-of-the-art status across many benchmarks. To dramatically speed up the search latency of late interaction, we introduce the Performance-optimized Late Interaction Driver (PLAID) engine. Without impacting quality, PLAID swiftly eliminates low-scoring passages using a novel centroid interaction mechanism that treats every passage as a lightweight bag of centroids. PLAID uses centroid interaction as well as centroid pruning, a mechanism for sparsifying the bag of centroids, within a highly-optimized engine to reduce late interaction search latency by up to 7x on a GPU and 45x on a CPU against vanilla ColBERTv2, while continuing to deliver state-of-the-art retrieval quality. This allows the PLAID engine with ColBERTv2 to achieve latency of tens of milliseconds on a GPU and tens or just few hundreds of milliseconds on a CPU at large scale, even at the largest scales we evaluate with 140M passages. 2022: Keshav Santhanam, O. Khattab, Christopher Potts, M. Zaharia https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.09707.pdf

The ML community is rapidly exploring techniques for prompting language models (LMs) and for stacking them into pipelines that solve complex tasks. Unfortunately, existing LM pipelines are typically implemented using hard-coded"prompt templates", i.e. lengthy strings discovered via trial and error. Toward a more systematic approach for developing and optimizing LM pipelines, we introduce DSPy, a programming model that abstracts LM pipelines as text transformation graphs, i.e. imperative computational graphs where LMs are invoked through declarative modules. DSPy modules are parameterized, meaning they can learn (by creating and collecting demonstrations) how to apply compositions of prompting, finetuning, augmentation, and reasoning techniques. We design a compiler that will optimize any DSPy pipeline to maximize a given metric. We conduct two case studies, showing that succinct DSPy programs can express and optimize sophisticated LM pipelines that reason about math word problems, tackle multi-hop retrieval, answer complex questions, and control agent loops. Within minutes of compiling, a few lines of DSPy allow GPT-3.5 and llama2-13b-chat to self-bootstrap pipelines that outperform standard few-shot prompting (generally by over 25% and 65%, respectively) and pipelines with expert-created demonstrations (by up to 5-46% and 16-40%, respectively). On top of that, DSPy programs compiled to open and relatively small LMs like 770M-parameter T5 and llama2-13b-chat are competitive with approaches that rely on expert-written prompt chains for proprietary GPT-3.5.

In the upcoming episode of the School of Divine Mysteries, join Aba Al-Sadiq (fhip) and his guest, Sarah Batoul, as they embark on a thought-provoking exploration of the controversial topic of the head veil. Delving into the religious scriptures of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the hosts seek to uncover the scriptural origins, if any, for the practice of women covering their heads. Despite the prevalent tradition of religious head coverings among followers of these major Western religions, the investigation takes an unexpected turn. Surprisingly, the guest finds that there is no explicit commandment from God, whether in the Old Testament, the Gospels, or even the Quran, specifically ordering women to cover their hair. While modesty is enjoined upon both men and women, the divine mandate for a head veil appears to be absent. In this enlightening episode, Aba Al-Sadiq shines a light on lesser-known historical facts, including the practices concerning slave women in Islam, challenging the perception that a head veil is a divine decree. The hosts draw attention to the role of human interpretation, cultural influences, and the contributions of figures like Paul and Omar bin al-Khattab in shaping these practices. Join the hosts as they unravel the intricate layers surrounding the head veil, exposing it as a construct influenced by human interpretations, scholarly traditions, and zealous inclinations. Don't miss this insightful exploration into the origins and implications of the head veil in the religious traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Tune in to the School of Divine Mysteries and be part of this illuminating conversation that challenges assumptions and unveils the historical and scriptural nuances behind religious practices.
