“O Allah! Grant favours in our hearing, in our sight and in our strength to be
always upon Your Path. And make our yearnings and desires to be in accord
with everything (teachings and guidance) which has ben brought by Your
beloved Muhammad - salutations of Allah and peace be upon him.”

As in the famous Hadith of Jibra’il a.s. from which our basic beginners
(FARDHU ‘AIN ) course curriculum was based on, I would like to propose
for this module on “TAFAQQUH” this time to deeply reflect upon each
of the key aspects (terms) our Prophet Muhammad used in this
(chosen) Hadith and then elucidate their significance and wisdom
beautifully regarding Islamic teachings as a total way of life (AD-DEEN).
I believe in the consistency of our Prophet’s advice, which seminally
contain gems which are in fact beautifully elaborated upon in the rest of
the other teachings of Islam. This brings up the wisdom (AL-HIKMAH).
“… and teaching them the Book and Wisdom”-(Q: 62:2)

"I have been sent with JAWAMI’ AL-KALEEM (i.e., the shortest expression
carrying the widest meanings), and I was made victorious with awe (fear
cast into the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of
the treasures of the earth were brought to me and were put in my hand."
(Hadith reported by Bukhary)

JAWAMI'-AL-KALEEM means (“comprehensive
speech”) that Allah SWT has granted the Prophet ability to
speak in the shortest expression carrying the widest meanings;
expressions in one or two statements or thereabouts the
numerous matters that used to be written in the books revealed
before him.
This epitomizes the Wisdom (AL-HIKMAH) granted to our Prophet
Muhammad .
In this module we shall try to reflect upon the significance as in
just one Hadith – the Prophet Muhammad’s advice to a
Sahaabiy Abu Dzar al-Ghifari r.a., which we hope Allah SWT will
grant us profound understanding of the DEEN – insha-Allah.

IDENTIFYING THE DANGERS AFFECTING THIS UMMAHIDENTIFYING THE DANGERS AFFECTING THIS UMMAH

CHALLENGES TOWARDS THIS UMMAHCHALLENGES TOWARDS THIS UMMAHEXTERNAL
By analogy, ‘ship’ and the ‘sea’ invoke in our mind :
1)a journey - which our life itself, in reality, is all about.
2)the raging sea and the depth of the ocean represent the extreme danger
which our life journey must traverse. Yet, we need the sea and its many
bounties in our journey upon it.
3)The parable of the traveller (refer to my slides), is most apt and we
should re-visit, reflect, share and insha-Allah, never forget.

4) The ‘ship’ therefore represent the ‘safe refuge’ which Allah SWT has
provided for mankind, which Islam teaches us to be grateful for
because it would ensure our salvation in this world and Hereafter.

We have identified the following institutions as that ship:
a.Our FAMILY;
b. Our DEEN (i.e. our understanding and implementation of it);
c.Our affiliations in the community (ensuring we do not deviate from our
long-term destination);
d.Our country, neighbourhood etc. and shared responsibility;

e. Islamic institutions – Mosque, Madrasah, Waqf, Zakah, Swadoqah,
Jama’ah-Ukhuwwah; Da’wah; ‘Amrul-Ma’ruf-nahyul-Munkar; etc.
Collectively, ‘the ship’ represents the UMMAH-’IJABAH , while others are
those floundering in the sea which becomes our duty to invite aboard.
We have identified the following institutions as that ship:

““INDEED, there has come unto you [O mankind] a Messenger
[Muhammad] from among yourselves: heavily weighs -upon him [the
thought] that you might suffer [in the life to come]; full of concern for
you [is he, and] full of compassion and mercy towards the believers.”.”

“All of my people (UMMATI ) will enter paradise except those who
refuse.” They said : O Messenger of Allah, Who are those who refuse?.
He then said: “ Whoever obeys me will enter Paradise, and whoever
disobey me is one who refuses (to enter it).”
(Hadith reported by Bukhary)

“ Invite them to Islam, and inform them what is enjoined upon
them for, I swear on Allah, if Allah should guide one person
through you, it is better for you than possessing the ‘red camels’
(i.e. the most precious of things to have then).”
(Hadith reported by Abu Dawud)
