This document discusses the conflict between Islam and secularism. It argues that secularism is a contemporary manifestation of jahiliyyah (ignorance) and is fundamentally at odds with Islamic monotheism. Secularism restricts Islam to the mosque and seeks to govern society without Islamic law, which constitutes polytheism. The document outlines how secularism entered Muslim lands through the influence of hypocritical secularists, using Turkey as an example. It concludes that secularism has no place in Muslim societies due to Islam's all-encompassing nature and the historical compatibility of Islam with science.

(ابن رجب الحنبلي)
Nurul Iqtibas fi Mishkat Wasiyyah Al-Nabi li Ibn 'Abbas
Prophet Muhammad's (ﷺ) Advice to Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنه)
-------
The spiritual and wordly life of a Muslim is focused on Allah. Success in both entails knowing Allah, loving Him, trusting Him and worshipping Him alone. It requires the Muslim to learn his religion, discipline his soul and refine his conduct. The Muslim must have firm faith that everything that happens to him in this life is good for him, that his Lord would never decree anything that would be detrimental and, as such, he is required to be patient and steadfast in the face of adversity and grateful at times of ease.
In this treatise, the author, ibn Rajab sets out to explain the advice the Prophet (SAW) imparted to ibn Abbas (radiyAllahu’anhuma), ‘Safeguard Allah and He will safeguard you. Safeguard Allah and you will find Him in front of you. Know Allah in times of ease and He will know you in times of hardship. When you ask, ask Allah. When you seek aid, turn to Allah. The Pen has dried (after having written) all that will occur…’
It would not be an exaggeration to say that if a Muslim was to understand this hadith and follow it closely, he would be well on his way to fulfilling the goals highlighted above. It is for this reason that ibn al-Jawzi said, ‘I pondered this hadith and it struck me with awe; I was so astounded that I almost became light headed… The prevailing ignorance of this hadith and the lack of understanding thereof is truly distressing!’.
‘Abdu’l-Qadir al-Jilani said, ‘Every believer should make this hadith a mirror to his heart, his axiom, his shelter and his topic of conversation. He should act by it in all times of motion and stillness so that he can be saved in this world and in the Hereafter.’
Imam ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (d.795H) was a scholar praised extensively for his vast knowledge, ascetism and expertise in the Hanbali school of thought as well as in hadith and its related sciences. His writings, gatherings and sermons were full of blessings and he was loved by all. He has written numerous monographs explaining individual hadiths of which this one, a series of which is currently being published by Daar us-Sunnah Publishers.
The translator has added appendices which comprise further explanations to the hadith by Mulla Ali al-Qari, ibn ‘Allan, and ibn ‘Uthaymin

A succint treatise on the great status of the
great
Prophet’s Family and why the Ummah ought
to love them with all their being.

3. 3
The grand status of the Prophet’s Family
By virtue of their relationship with Him, Allah
Most High has accorded great status to the
family of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam). The Lord Almighty has declared their
superiority in the Holy Quran:
Allah only intends to remove all the impurity of
sins from you, O People of the House (of the
Prophet, [even a doubt or trace of shortcoming])
and make you absolutely pure and clean by
blessing
you
with
(perfect)
purity
and
wholesomeness. Surah Ahzaab (33:33)
This verse of the Holy Quran proves that Allah
Most High has kept the family of the Holy
Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) free of all
kinds of flaws and defects, be them moral,
ethical, intellectual, outward or inward. Ummul
Momineen Hadhrat Umme Salma (May Allah be
well pleased with her) says about the
background of the revelation of this verse:
Translation: When the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam) was in my room, this verse was
revealed: Allah only intends to remove all the
impurity of sins from you, O People of the House
(of the Prophet, [even a doubt or trace of
3
www.ziaislamic.com
4. 4
shortcoming]) and make you absolutely pure
and clean by blessing you with (perfect) purity
and wholesomeness. Then the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) summoned Hadhrat
Fatima, Hadhrat Ali, Hadhrat Hasan and Hadhrat
Hussain (May Allah be well pleased with them).
The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)
said: These are my family members (Ahle Bait).
Hadhrat Umme Salma (May Allah be well
pleased with her) asked: O Prophet of Allah
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)! Am I not from
among the Ahle Bait?
The Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Allah-willing,
you are also from the Ahle Bait. (Zujajatul
Masabeeh, Vol. 5, Pg. No. 316)
Mention of Prophet’s Family in Salaat
As it is necessary for every Muslim to love the
Prophet’s Family (Ahle Bait), that’s why their
mention has been ordained a part of Salaat.
Fasting, Haj, Zakaat and charity are not things
that each and every Muslim performs day in and
day out.
Sick people don’t fast, needy people don’t give
Zakaat, Hajj is obligatory on a person with
means of doing so only once in a lifetime. The
intent of Allah Most High is that the mention of
4
www.ziaislamic.com
5. 5
the Prophet’s Family shouldn’t cease at all, that
Muslims should repeatedly express love for
them. Thus, their mention was made a part of
Salaat. In Salaat, Durood is recited. There is
Hadith in Sunan Daraqutni about Durood:
Translation: It is narrated on the authority of
Hadhrat Abu Mas‘ud Ansari (May Allah be well
pleased with him), he says: The Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: If person
offers a Salaat in which Durood on me and my
family is not recited, that Salaat is not accepted
at all. (Sunan Daraqutni, Hadith No. 1359)
There is a Hadith in Sahih Bukhari:
Translation: Hadhrat Ka’ab Bin ‘Ujrah (May Allah
be well pleased with him) told Hadhrat Abdur
Rahmaan Bin Abu Laila: Should I not give you a
beautiful gift, which I heard from the Holy
Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)? He said:
Why not! You give me that gift. Then Hadhrat
Ka’ab said:
We asked the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam): How should we
send Durood on your family? Allah Most High
has taught us how to greet them with Salaam.
Then the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam) said: Say this: Allahumma Salli ‘Ala
(Sayyidina)
Muhammadin
Wa

Aali

The Prophet’s Family – A means of safety
for the Ummah
There is a Hadith in Sunan Dailami:
Translation: Ayaas bin Salama (May Allah be
well pleased with him) narrates on the authority
of his father who narrates that the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Stars are the
means of safety for the dwellers of the heavens
and my family is the means of safety for my
Ummah. (Mo’jam Kabeer Tabarani, Hadith No.
6137)
The very mention of the Prophet’s Family is
a cure – Even lunatics are cured
There is a Hadith in Sunan Ibn Majah, Mo’jam
Kabeer Tabarani and in Baihaqui:
6
www.ziaislamic.com
7. 7
Translation: It is narrated on the authority of
Hadhrat ‘Ali bin Abu Talib (May Allah be well
pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Faith is to
believe from the heart, to affirm with the tongue
and to fulfill the obligations.
The narrator of this Hadith, Hadhrat Abu Salat
(May Allah be well pleased with him) says: If the
chain of authority of this Hadith is recited and
blown over a lunatic, the lunatic will be cured of
lunacy.
(Sunan Ibn Majah, Mo’jam Kabeer
Tabarani, Baihaqui)
Now let us look at the chain of authority of this
Hadith.
All of them are from the Prophet’s
Family:
Translation: It is narrated on the authority of
Hadhrat ‘Ali bin Moosa Raza (May Allah be well
pleased with him) who narrates on the authority
of his father Hadhrat Moosa Raza (May Allah be
well pleased with him) who narrates on the
authority of Imam Ja’afar Sadiq (May Allah be
well pleased with him) who narrates on the
authority
of
his
father
Hadhrat
Imam
Muhammad Baquer (May Allah be well pleased
with him) who narrates on the authority of
Imam Zain Ul A’abideen (May Allah be well

www.ziaislamic.com
8. 8
pleased with him) who narrates on the authority
of Imam Hussain (May Allah be well pleased with
him) who narrates on the authority of Hadhrat
Ali bin Abi Talib (May Allah be well pleased with
him) who narrates that the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi
wa
sallam) said:……(As
mentioned earlier)
Attachment with the Holy Quran and the
Prophet’s Family – A mark of guidance
The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)
has declared relations with His family as a
means of deliverance and as a means of safety
from
misguidance.
Whoever
attaches
themselves with them, will never be misguided.
Then please consider, will those pure souls fall
prey to chasing this material world?
Thus, on the occasion of the Farewell Hajj
(Hujjatul Wada’a), when the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) gave the whole
world a message of peace, on the same
occasion, He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) also
gave the order for attaching oneself with the
Holy Quran and the Prophet’s Family. Following
them is a means of eternal blessings and is a
strong guard against wrong beliefs and the
8
www.ziaislamic.com
9. 9
wrong path. There is a Hadith in Sunan Baihaqi
and in Jame’ Tirmidhi:
It has been reported on the authority of Hadhrat
Jabir (May Allah be well pleased with him): I
saw the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam) on ‘Arafat.
He (Sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam) was on His she-camel, Qaswa and was
giving a sermon. I heard Him saying: O people,
I leave with you 2 great bounties. As long as
you hold on to them, you will never be
misguided. They are: the Book of Allah and my
family. (Jame’ Tirmidhi, Hadith No. 3718)
When according to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam), His family saves people from
misguidance and whoever attaches oneself with
them cannot be on the wrong path, then is it
correct to blame them with the love of this
material world?
Is it correct to label their
struggle as a political struggle? Even after Allah
declares their purity in the Holy Quran:
Allah only intends to remove all the impurity of
sins from you, O People of the House (of the
Prophet, [even a doubt or trace of shortcoming])
and make you absolutely pure and clean by
blessing
you
with
(perfect)
purity
and
wholesomeness. Surah Ahzaab (33:33)
9
www.ziaislamic.com
10. 10
Not only this, but the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam) specially prayed for them thus,
as mentioned in the Hadith:
Translation: O Allah! This is my family. You
remove all uncleanliness from them and grant
them absolute purity. (Jame’ Tirmidhi, Hadith
No. 3129)
Order to instruct the children to love the
Prophet’s Family
It is mentioned in the Hadith:
Translation: You instruct your children in 3
things. (1) Love of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam) (2) Love of the Prophet’s
Family (3) Recitation of the Holy Quran. (Ithaaf
Ul Khaira, Hadith No. 7753)
Reward of treating the Prophet’s Family
nicely
There is a Hadith in Imam Tabarani’s Mo’jam:
Translation: It is narrated on the authority of
Hadhrat Ibaan bin ‘Uthman (May Allah be well
pleased with him), he says: I heard Hadhrat
10
www.ziaislamic.com
11. 11
‘Uthman (May Allah be well pleased with him)
say:
The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam) said: The person who does a favor to
the progeny of ‘Abdul Muttalib and they didn’t
return the favor in this world, then in the
hereafter when that person comes to me,
returning that favor is my responsibility.
(Mo’jam Ausat Tabarani, Hadith No. 1502)
Disrespecting the Prophet’s Family results
in misguidance and destruction
A Hadith has been mentioned in Imam
Baihaqui’s Shua’bul Iman that the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
Translation: There are 6 people whom I curse
and Allah curses and the supplication of every
Prophet is accepted. Among them are: The one
who
considers
things
declared
Haraam
(impermissible) by Allah as Halal (permissible)
and the one who considers those things
permissible about my family, which Allah has
declared as forbidden i.e. who disrespects the
Prophet’s Family.
This shows that disrespecting the Prophet’s
Family leads to misguidance and destruction of
faith.
11
www.ziaislamic.com
12. 12
It is a fact that Allah Most High has revealed
verses about them in the Holy Quran. There are
innumerable Hadith which attest to their
superiority and excellence so much so
attachment with them has been declared to be a
mark of the perfection of faith.
May Allah Most High guide us to love the
Companions of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam) and the Prophet’s Family and
may he bless us in this world and the hereafter
through it.
Love for the Prophet’s Family
Alla Most High has ordered one and all to love
the Prophet’s Family through the Holy Quran:
Translation: Say: I do not ask for any
recompense for this (preaching the faith in
Prophethood), but (seek) love for (my) kindred
(and Allah’s nearness). Surah Shoora (42:23)
12
www.ziaislamic.com
13. 13
Loving the Prophet’s Family – A demand of
faith
There is a Hadith in Jame’ Tirmidhi:
Translation: It is narrated on the authority of
Hadhrat ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas (May Allah be well
pleased with them), he says: The Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Love Allah
because He blessed you with His bounties. For
the love of Allah, love me and for my love, love
my family. (Jame’ Tirmidhi, Hadith No. 3722)
The grace and benevolence of Allah Most High
demands that we should love Him. To be able to
love Allah Most High, we should love the Holy
Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and to be
able to love the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam), the Family of the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) should be loved.
It is as if the love of the Prophet’s Family is a
step towards the love of the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). If anybody desires
proximity and closeness of Allah Most High and
wants to be enter His presence, the only way for
this is to love the Prophet's Family. This love
will grant closeness to the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and through the
13
www.ziaislamic.com
14. 14
proximity of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam), that person will attain proximity of
Allah.
There is a Hadith in Sunan Ibn Majah and Jame
Tirmidhi.
The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)
said: By Him who holds my life in His hands,
faith cannot even enter the heart of the person,
who does not love you (The Prophet’s Family)
for the sake of Allah Most High and their
relationship with me. (Jame’ Tirmidhi, 3691;
Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith No. 137)
There is a Hadith in Mo’jam Kabeer Tabarani and
Baihaqui:
Translation: It is narrated on the authority of
Hadhrat Abdur Rahmaan bin Abu Laila (May
Allah be well pleased with him) who narrates on
the authority of his father that the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: No one can be
a true believer unless I am more beloved to him
(or her) than his own life, my Family is more
beloved than his own family and my progeny
become more beloved than his own progeny and
I become more beloved to him that his own self.
14
www.ziaislamic.com
15. 15
(Mo’jam Kabeer Tabarani, Hadith No. 5952;
Shua’bul Iman, Hadith No. 1505)
Faith (Iman) is the most basic condition for all
rules and all forms of worship, without which all
that one has done will be rendered waste and
the aforementioned Hadith obviates that love for
the Prophet’s Family is a condition for faith and
if their love is not present in one’s heart, then
one’s very faith is flawed.
The Prophet’s Family – Ark of deliverance
The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)
has declared His family as the Ark of Deliverance
and safety, as mentioned in this Hadith:
Translation: It is narrated on the authority of
Hadhrat ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas (May Allah be well
pleased with them) that the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: My Family is
the like the Ark of Nooh (May peace be upon
him). The one who boards it is delivered and
the one who stays back is destroyed. (Mo’jam
Kabeer Tabarani, Hadith No. 2572)
In the same way, the Companions have been
declared to be the stars of guidance. The Holy
Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
15
www.ziaislamic.com
16. 16
Translation: My Companions are like the stars of
guidance. Whomever you follow, you will be
guided. (Mishkaatul Masabeeh, Pg. No. 554;
Zujajatul Masabeeh, Vol. 5, Pg. No. 334)
Love of the Companions and the Prophet’s
Family – A mark of the Ahle Sunnah
Hadhrat Mulla Ali Qari writes in Mirqaat Ul
Mafateeh on the authority of Imam Fakhruddin
Radhi (May Allah shower His mercy on both of
them):
Sermon on love of the Prophet’s Family when
returning from the Farewell Hajj
It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat
Zaid bin Arqam (May Allah be well pleased with
him) that one day, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam) gave a sermon at Ghadeer,
which is between Makkah and Madina.
He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) thanked Allah,
praised Him and gave a sermon. He (Sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam) advised us and reminded us of
the hereafter and then said: O People! Verily, I
have come as a human being.
Soon, a
messenger from my Lord will come to me and I
16
www.ziaislamic.com
17. 17
will accept his invitation. I leave behind, with
you, 2 great bounties of Allah Most High. One
among them is the Book of Allah, in which there
is Guidance (Hidayah) and Radiance (Noor). You
accept the Book of Allah Most High and hold on
to it firmly. He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)
exhorted us towards the Holy Quran. Then said:
The second bounty is my Family; I remind you
of Allah about my Family; I remind you of Allah
about my Family ….." (Sahih Muslim, Hadith No.
2408; Mishkaatul Masabeeh, Pg. No. 68;
Zujajatul
Masabeeh,
Vol.
5,
Pg.
No.
317/318/319)
“I remind you of Allah about my Family". The
Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said
this because love of the Prophet’s Family is for
the love of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam) and love of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam) is for the love of Allah Most
High. Hence love of the Prophet’s Family Bait
will take you to Allah, so fear Allah about them
in that no inappropriate word about them slips
out from your tongue.
Hadhrat Mulla Ali Qari (May Allah shower His
Mercy on him) writes in the interpretation of this
Hadith:
17
www.ziaislamic.com
18. 18
Translation: The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam) said: "I remind you of Allah about
my Family" twice. The wisdom behind it is that
the first time it meant His progeny and the
second time, it meant the honorable wives of the
Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)
(Ummahatul Momineen), may Allah be well
pleased with them.
To hurt the Companions is to hurt the Holy
Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)
The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)
has emphasized respect of His Family and along
with them of the Companions that Allah Most
High should be feared about them, as given in
Jame’ Tirmidhi:
Translation: It has been narrated on the
authority of Hadhrat Abdullah bin Mughaffal
(May Allah be well pleased with him) that the
Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
Fear Allah about my Companions. Fear Allah.
Do not make them the target of your
condemnation after me. Whoever loves them,
loves them out of love for me. Whoever hates
them, hates them out of his hate for me.
Whoever hurts them, hurts me and whoever
hurts me, hurts Allah and whoever hurts Allah,

He will hold him to account very soon.
Tirmidhi, Vol. 2, Pg. No. 225).
(Jame’
Those who love the Prophet’s Family will be
following them into paradise
There is a Hadith in Mustadrak ‘Alas Sahihain:
Translation: It is narrated on the authority of
Hadhrat ‘Ali (May Allah be well pleased with
him), he says: The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam) told me that (along with Him),
the first to enter paradise will be me and Fatima
and Hasan and Hussain (May Allah be well
pleased with them). I asked: O Prophet of Allah
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)! What about those
who love us? The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam) said: They will be following you.
Imam Hakim has said that the chain of authority
of this Hadith is rigorously authenticated.
(Mustadrak ‘Alas Sahihain, Hadith No. 476)
Glad tidings of intercession for those who
love the Prophet’s Family
The Holy Prophet, the intercessor of the sinners
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
19
www.ziaislamic.com
20. 20
Translation: My intercession is for those
privileged people of the Ummah, who love my
Family. (Kanz Ul ‘Ummal, Hadith No. 34179)
There is another Hadith in Kanz Ul ‘Ummal:
Translation: There are 4 lucky people for whom I
will intercede (i.e. perform Shafa’ah) on the Day
of Judgment.
1.
One who respects my Family.
2.
One who offers them what they need.
3.
One who manages their affairs when they
need it.
4.
One who loves them with his tongue and
heart. (Kanz Ul ‘Ummal, Hadith No. 34180)
There is a Hadith in Mo’jam Tabarani:
Translation: It is narrated on the authority of
Hadhrat Hasan bin ‘Ali (May Allah be well
pleased with them) that the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Make the love
of the Prophet’s Family compulsory for yourself!
The person who is presented in the court of Allah
Most High in a state that our love is in his (or
her) heart, that person will enter paradise
through our intercession. By Him who holds my
life in His power! No good deed will benefit a
20

bondsman but only after they accept out
superiority and excellence.
(Mo’jam Ausat
Tabarani, Hadith No. 2320)
May Allah Most High guide us to follow in the
footsteps of the Prophet’s Family and fill our
hearts with their love and clear our hearts of
their disrespect. Aaameen.
