HADITH 01-06: The Mercy and Character of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at ZAD AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,In this lecture from Hadith Semester 1 by Shaykh Dr. Muhammad Salah, we explore the profound mercy and noble character of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as taught through authentic Hadith and Qur'anic verses.Allah sent Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as a mercy to all humanity. The Qur'an states:“And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], but as a mercy to the worlds.”(Surah Al-Anbiya 21:107, quran.com/21/107)This mercy encompassed the weak and strong, friend and foe, rich and poor, even extending to animals and the environment. The Prophet's ﷺ mercy was a reflection of Allah's infinite compassion.Allah describes the Prophet's character as exemplary:“And indeed, you are of a great moral character.”(Surah Al-Qalam 68:4, quran.com/68/4)His life models humility, patience, kindness, and forgiveness. For example, when a child urinated on him, he calmly cleaned himself without anger, showing compassion in every circumstance.The Prophet's mercy extended to enemies as well, exemplified in the story of Thumāmah ibn Uthāl, who embraced Islam after witnessing the Muslims' kindness and tranquility.Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah has divided mercy into one hundred parts; and He retained with Him ninety-nine parts, and sent down to earth one part. Through this one part creatures deal with one another with compassion, so much so that an animal lifts its hoof over its young lest it should hurt it". [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]Another narration is: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah has one hundred mercies, out of which He has sent down only one for jinn, mankind, animals and insects, through which they love one another and have compassion for one another; and through it, wild animals care for their young. Allah has retained ninety-nine mercies to deal kindly with His slaves on the Day of Resurrection." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].Another narration in Muslim is reported: by Salman Al-Farisi: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah has hundred mercies, out of which one mercy is used by his creation for mutual love and affection. Ninety-nine mercies are kept for the Day of Resurrection."Another narration is: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah created one hundred units of mercy on the Day He created the heavens and the earth. Each one of them can contain all that is between the heaven and the earth. Of them, he put one on earth, through which a mother has compassion for her children and animals and birds have compassion for one another. On the Day of Resurrection, He will perfect and complete His Mercy". (That is He will use all the hundred units of mercy for his slaves on that Day).Riyad as-Salihin 420https://sunnah.com/riyadussalihin:420Islam teaches that acts of leadership must lead with compassion and reconciliation rather than dominance.ConclusionThe Hadith and Qur'an together portray the Prophet whose mercy and character are central to his message. His compassion teaches us to be merciful, forgiving, and patient, embodying the beautiful ethics of Islam.
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.
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.
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.
Tafsir 01-03: The Development of Tafsir (Qur'anic Interpretation) | Insights from Shaykh Dr. Ahmad ibn Saifuddin | ZAD Academy Lecture | Blogpost by Zayd Haji #IslamicPodcast #QuranTafsir #IslamicStudiesBy Zayd Haji, Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh. In this blog, we will explore the development of Tafsir, or the explanation of the Qur'an. Tafsir is essential to understanding the meanings of Allah's words. The science of Tafsir developed in stages and is based on the Qur'an, Hadith, the sayings of the Sahabah (companions), the Tabi'een (students of the companions), and qualified scholars.1. Tafsir of the Qur'an by the Qur'anThe first and most authentic source of Tafsir is the Qur'an itself. Sometimes, one verse explains another. For example, Allah says:“And those who believe and whose descendants follow them in faith — We will join them with their descendants…” — Surah At-Tur 52:21 (quran.com/52/21)This verse is expanded in Tafsir through context, indicating that Allah will unite believing families in Paradise, even if their ranks differ.2. Tafsir by the SunnahThe Prophet ﷺ explained many verses of the Qur'an himself. His Hadith clarify legal rulings, meanings, and context. For instance:“When one of you touches women…” (Surah An-Nisa 4:43, quran.com/4/43) Here, the word "touch" (lamastum) is explained by the Prophet ﷺ and companions to mean sexual intercourse, not just physical contact. This is proven by Hadith and linguistic analysis.3. Tafsir by the Sahabah (Companions)The companions, such as Ibn Abbas and Ibn Mas'ud, were present during the revelation of the Qur'an. Their explanations are based on firsthand experience. For example, Ibn Abbas explained:“…And He is the knower of the unseen and the most hidden (akhfa).” — Surah Ta-Ha 20:7 (quran.com/20/7) He said “the secret” refers to what you do secretly, and “what is even more hidden” means what's in your heart that you haven't even acted upon — yet Allah knows.4. Tafsir by the Tabi'een (Successors)The Tabi'een were the students of the Sahabah and also explained the Qur'an based on their teachers. Sa'eed ibn Jubayr and others explained difficult verses with great care. For example, they clarified the above verse (52:21) by saying Allah raises the ranks of the descendants to join the righteous without reducing anyone's reward.5. Tafsir by ScholarsLater scholars such as Imam al-Tabari, Ibn Kathir, and Imam al-Qurtubi compiled Tafsir using all the above methods. They used Arabic grammar and context without contradicting the meanings passed down.“Whoever says something about the Qur'an without knowledge, let him prepare his seat in Hell.” — Sunan At-Tirmidhi 2950 Grade: Da'if (Darussalam)https://sunnah.com/tirmidhi:2950This hadith warns against interpreting the Qur'an without knowledge or proper sources.Key Notes:Tafsir follows a chain: Qur'an → Sunnah → Sahabah → Tabi'een → Scholars.It must follow authentic and contextual understanding.Interpreting the Qur'an without knowledge is sinful.Allah rewards those who explain His words truthfully.May Allah grant us correct understanding of His Book. Ameen.

28th March 2025 - 'Jumuah Bayaan' with Shaykh Dr Yusuf Abdul Jobbar
Understanding Tafsir: The Explanation of the QuranIntroductionAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.Tafsir, the interpretation of the Quran, plays a pivotal role in understanding the divine message. Scholars have dedicated centuries to exploring and explaining the meanings of Allah's words. In this blog, we will examine how Tafsir evolved, focusing on the primary sources of Tafsir: the Quran itself, the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and the views of the companions and scholars.1. Tafsir by the QuranThe Quran often explains its own verses. When a term or concept is introduced, other verses may clarify its meaning. For instance, Allah mentions "Al-Qari'ah" (The Striking Calamity) and then provides an explanation:"The Striking Disaster! What is the Striking Disaster? And what will make you realize what the Striking Disaster is?" (Quran 101:2-3)Allah describes how people will be like scattered moths and mountains like fluffed wool, illustrating the Day of Judgment.2. Tafsir by the Prophet (peace be upon him)The most authentic Tafsir comes from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He provided explanations to his companions when they had questions. For example, regarding the verse:"Those who do good will have the finest reward and ˹even˺ more. Neither gloom nor disgrace will cover their faces. It is they who will be the residents of Paradise. They will be there forever." (Quran 10:26)Suhaib reported the Prophet (peace be upon him) saying:"When those deserving of Paradise would enter Paradise, the Blessed and the Exalted would ask: Do you wish Me to give you anything more? They would say: Hast Thou not brightened our faces? Hast Thou not made us enter Paradise and saved us from Fire? He (the narrator) said: He (God) would lift the veil, and of things given to them nothing would be dearer to them than the sight of their Lord, the Mighty and the Glorious." (Sahih Muslim 181a)3. Tafsir by the CompanionsThe companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) were the best generation to interpret the Quran due to their proximity to the Prophet and direct understanding of the context of revelation. Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), known as the "Interpreter of the Quran," is one of the most renowned in providing Tafsir.4. Tafsir by ScholarsAfter the companions, subsequent generations of scholars compiled detailed explanations. Scholars like Imam At-Tabari and Ibn Kathir wrote extensive Tafsir works that continue to guide Muslims today. These scholars relied on the Quran, Hadith, and linguistic analysis to clarify meanings.5. Applying Tafsir in Our LivesTafsir is not just an academic pursuit but a means to implement the teachings of the Quran. For instance, the command to establish Salah and pay Zakah is often briefly stated in the Quran. However, the Prophet's detailed instructions on prayer and charity provide practical guidance."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)The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:"Pray as you have seen me praying." (Sahih al-Bukhari 631) Sunnah.comConclusionThe study of Tafsir strengthens our connection to Allah's words, fostering a deeper understanding of our faith. By reflecting on the Quran and consulting authentic Tafsir sources, we can apply its lessons in our lives. May Allah grant us the ability to comprehend and act upon His guidance. Ameen.References:Quran 101:2-3Quran 10:26Quran 2:110Sahih Muslim 181aSahih al-Bukhari 631
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.

We often hear from Muslims that our ummah suffers from disunity on a local, national, and international level. Slight differences of opinion can cause major divisions. Our countries remain deeply divided between themselves and there is an impression that has consolidated that we will not be able to recover our position. This situation has led to despondency. Helplessness and in the extreme an acceptance of the status quo. But is this written? Is there anything we can do about this parlous situation? Have we come to the end of Muslim civilisation and are we now merely managing decline? Are we waiting for the Mahdi, a leader who will change our situation? Or is there anything we can do about our predicament? To help us understand the issues of unity and division from an Islamic perspective we have invited Shaykh Dr. Shuayb Wani. Dr. Shuayb Wani is the Director and Co-Founder of the Dār Al ‘Ilm Institute. He grew up in Indian-occupied Kashmir and started his quest to learn Islamic ‘Ulūm during his schooling years. He completed his foundational Islāmic Studies in India, and Al-Azhar University, Egypt. He devoted 10 years studying advanced Islāmic Studies specializing in Usūl al-Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence) at the International Islamic University, Malaysia. He holds a Ph.D in : “The Legal Thought of Imam al-Shafi‘i” which was published in 2021. He has 20 years experience of teaching Islamic ulum. He lives in Istanbul with his family.
