Who do we call a Nabi?

The word “Nabi” یبن has been derived from either: 1) the word ةاابن‘Nabaawah’ which has the meaning of “elevation in status” 2) or it has been derived from ابن(with a Baa sakinah and Hamzah on the end) which means “the giving of news” or “making manifest” 3) or from the word ةاابن(with a Baa Sakinah and Taa Zaaidah) which means a “hidden voice”.

The definition for a Prophet within the terminology of Shariah

A Prophet is from the children of Ādam i.e. A Prophet is a human being. A Prophet is a male who is free (not a slave) and the revelation must come to him and he should spread the teachings of Allah to the people. A Prophet gives glad tidings of Jannah to the pious and warns the disbelievers of the Hellfire. Further, the Prophet’s truth is attested by Mu’jizaat (miracles).’

SLIDE 4

Difference between Nabi and Rasool

  • The meaning of ‘Rasool’ is ‘Messenger’ and the ‘one sent,’

in terminology, the Rasool is the one who has received a book.

  • Another way of a Prophet being a Rasool besides being

given a book is where action upon a previous Shari’ah (spiritual law) was halted but a ‘Messenger’ is commanded to revive that earlier Shari’ah.

  • Every Rasool (Messenger) is categorically a Nabi (Prophet)

whilst every Nabi (Prophet) is not necessarily a Rasool (Messenger).

  • There can be no Nabi or Rasool after the best of all

creation, Sayyiduna Muhammad peace and blessings of Allah be upon Him

Why did Allah consult the Angels?

  • ‘And (remember O Beloved) when your Lord

said to the Angels, ‘Indeed I will make upon the Earth a Khalīfah.’ Surah Al-Baqarah: 30.

  • Allah ُّ

ُّلَجَوُّزَع is not dependent upon anyone in regards to any matter. The wisdom behind the consultation was reverence of the Angels ُّ مِھۡیَلَع ُّ مَلُُّسلا and Sayyiduna Adam ُِّہۡیَلَعُّ ۃَلُُّصلاُُّّسلاَوُّ مَلُ through it.

slide-6
SLIDE 6

The meaning of Khalifah

  • The meaning of Khalīfah here is not successor

but rather it means representative.

  • The purpose behind appointing a Khalīfah was

that the Khalifah spread the rulings of Allah ُّ ُّلَجَوُّزَع amongst the creation and continues the system of commands and prohibitions from the Almighty Lord ُّ ُّلَجَوُّزَع to the creation.

SLIDE 7

The Angels question in the Court

  • f the Almighty
  • ‘Will you place upon it one who causes mischief in it and sheds blood

whilst we glorify You with Your praise and We mention Your Holiness.’ Surah Al-Baqarah (2) Verse 30

  • ‘(This question was) to seek manifestation regarding the secret wisdom

(behind the appointment of Khalifah) or amazement that the ones who will spread strife in it would be appointed as Khalīfahs for the inhabiting

  • f the Earth and its rectification.’ Rooh-ul-Ma’ani Volume 1 Page 221
  • Allah the Almighty stated, ‘Indeed I know that which you know not.’

Surah Al-Baqarah (2) Verse 30

  • The standard of Khilafah is that the Khalīfah acts upon those things that

he commands others. Therefore all human beings would not be embroiled in the sin of spreading strife and oppressively shedding

  • blood. There would be some special ones amongst the human beings

who would be free from sins and would be worthy of being on this noble station.

The Knowledge granted to Sayyiduna Adam

  • And He taught Ādam the names of all things then he showed them to the Angels and said,

‘Tell me the names of these, if you are truthful.’ Surah Al-Baqarah (2) Verse 31

  • ‘He (the Almighty) taught him the names of all things until (even) plates and small bowls.’

Tafseer Abis- Sa’ud Volume 2 Page 84

  • ‘And Imām (Ar-Rāzī) said the meaning of the names means (i.e. includes) the

characteristics of things, their benefits and specialities.’ Rooh ul Ma’ani Volume 1 Page 224

  • The meaning of ‘Names’ in this verse are His (The Almighty’s) Names. Thereafter he said

that the truth according to him and this is accepted to be the truth by all bondsmen of Allah is that Sayyidunā Ādam ُّیٰلَعُّ ۃَلُُّصلاُِّہۡیَلَعَوُّاَنّّیِبَنُّ مَلُُّسلاَو was given knowledge of the names

  • f all things. This is the requirement of the station of Khilafah.’
  • ‘And the meaning of His (the Almighty’s) teaching him (Prophet Ādam

ُّیٰلَعاُِّہۡیَلَعَوُّاَنّّیِبَنُّ ۃَلُُّصل ُّ مَلُُّسلاَو) the names of all designated things is that Allah ُّ ُّلَجَوُّزَع showed him the species that He created and taught him (for example) that the name of this is a ‘horse’ and ‘camel’ and this is called such and such.’ Tafseer Madaarik ut Tanzeel Page 25

  • When Sayyidunā Ādam

ُّیٰلَعُّ مَلُُّسلاَوُّ ۃَلُُّصلاُِّہۡیَلَعَوُّاَنّّیِبَن was given knowledge of " ُّاموُّناکُّامنوکی“ what occurred and what will occur’ as well as the name of all things in every language then what will be the state of the knowledge possessed by the Master of all Prophets ُّ مَلُُّسلاَوُّ ۃَلُُّصلاُّ مِھۡیَلَع?

Seven Blessings of knowledge from At-Tafsīr-ul- Kabīr and Tafseer Azīzī

Faqīh Abul-Laiš As-Samarqandi stated, ‘There are seven advantages of presenting

  • neself in the company of an Alim (scholar) regardless of whether knowledge is

attained from him or not;

  • 1) That person is considered amongst the circle of the students of knowledge

and attains their reward.

  • 2) So long as he remains seated in this gathering, he will be preserved from sins.
  • 3) From the time he exits his home with the intention of seeking knowledge, he

gains reward for each footstep.

  • 4) The mercy of Allah ُّ

ُّلَجَوُّزَع descends on the circle of knowledge and this person is participating in this as well.

  • 5) This person hears the recollection of knowledge which is worship.
  • 6) When he hears a complex subject whilst in that gathering which he fails to

grasp and his heart becomes tense, he is then deemed to be Munkasir-ul- Quloob (broken hearted who is worthy of mercy).

  • 7) Respect for knowledge and hatred for ignorance develops in his heart.’

Creation of Sayyiduna Adam

Sayyidunā Abu Mūsā Al-Ash’ari ُّیٰلاَعَتُّ ٰٰاللَُّْيِضَرُّ ہۡنَع narrates a Marfoo’ Hadith in which it is stated;

  • ‘Indeed Allah created Sayyidunā Ādam from a handful (of sand) from the

entire Earth. Thus the sons of Ādam came according to the land. From them there are red, white, black and (colours) between these. There are soft, harsh, impure and pure.’ This narration was extracted from a Hashiyah (marginal note) upon Tafseer Jalalain. This Blessed Hadeeth is narrated by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad, Imam at Tirmidhi in his Sunan and Imam Abu Dawood in his Sunan. It is narrated in the Ahaadeeth that the Noble Prophet ُّ اَوُِّهیَلَعُّیٰلاَعَتُّ اللُّْیُّلَصُِّہِلَُّمُّلَسَو stated that the best of days is Jumu'ah (Friday) because :

  • Sayyidunā Ādam

ُِّہۡیَلَعُّ ۃَلُُّصلاُّ مَلُُّسلاَو was created on Jumu'ah

  • n Jumu'ah he was sent into Jannah
  • n Jumu'ah Sayyidunā Ādam

ُِّہۡیَلَعُّ مَلُُّسلاَوُّ ۃَلُُّصلا departed from Jannah,

  • he departed from the mortal world on Jumu'ah
  • and Qiyamah (the day of judgement) will occur on Jumu'ah.

SLIDE 11

The beauty of this creation

  • The Angels

ُّ مِھۡیَلَعُّ مَلُُّسلا had never seen any face like that of Sayyidunā Ādam ُّیٰلَعَُّلُُّسلاَوُّ ۃَلُُّصلاُِّہۡیَلَعَوُّاَنّّیِبَنُّ م. They would roam around it and would be amazed by its beauty.

  • Iblīs had been informed about the form of Sayyidunā Ādam

ُّیٰلَعُّ ۃَلُُّصلاُِّہۡیَلَعَوُّاَنّّیِبَنُّ مَلُُّسلاَو. He had not yet been cursed. He also came to see the form and after roaming around it he said: ‘Are you stunned by this? It is empty inwardly as it is full of holes

  • inside. Its weakness is to the extent that it will plunge if it suffers

starvation and it will be unable to be in motion if it is fully

  • nourished. This blank structure will be extremely incapable.’
  • The Ruh (soul) was then placed in this structure
slide-12
SLIDE 12

The Height of Sayyiduna Adam

It is narrated by Sayyidunā Abu Hurairah َُّيِضَر ُّ ٰٰاللُّْیٰلاَعَتُّ ہۡنَع who said, "Indeed the Messenger of Allah ُّیُّلَصُِّہِل اَوُِّهیَلَعُّیٰلاَعَتُّ اللُُّّْلَسَوَُّم said,

  • “The length of Sayyidunā Ādam ُّ

ۃَلُُّصلاُِّہۡیَلَع ُّ مَلُُّسلاَو was sixty żirā' (arm lengths - ninety feet) and his width was seven arm lengths.” Mishkaat ul Masaabeeh, Baabu Bad’-il-Khalq.

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Prostration to Sayyiduna Adam

  • ‘And (remember) when We ordered the Angels to prostrate

before Ādam, so they all prostrated, except Iblīs. He refused and was proud and became a disbeliever.’ Surah Al Baqarah (2) Verse 34

  • The Angels

ُّ مِھۡیَلَعُّ مَلُُّسلا were commanded to perform Sajdah- tut-Ta’ẓīm (prostration of reverence) like the brothers of Sayyidunā Yūsuf ُّیٰلَعُّ ۃَلُُّصلاُِّہۡیَلَعَوُّاَنّّیِبَنُُّّسلاَوُّ مَلُ who prostrated

  • ut of respect to him. Prostrating out of reverence is

forbidden in the Shari’ah (Sacred Law) of our Noble Prophet.

  • Prostrating for worship before anyone besides Allah was

never permissible in any Shari’ah.

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Our Master was a Prophet even when Adam was still being created

  • دسجلاو حورلا نيب مدآ و ايبن تنك
  • ‘I was a Prophet

ُّ ۃَلُُّصلاُِّہۡیَلَعُّ مَلُُّسلاَو whilst Ādam was between the soul and body.’ (Abu No’aim, At-Tabaqaat by Ibn Sa’d, At- Tabaraani, Al-Jami’-us-Sagheer Volume 2 Page 96)

  • ‘Indeed the Angels ُّ

مَلُُّسلاُّ مِھۡیَلَع were commanded to prostrate to Ādam due to the Noor (light) of Muḥammad ُِّہۡیَلَعُُّّسلاَوُّ ۃَلُُّصلاُّ مَلُ which was in the forehead of Ādam.’ (At-Tafseer Al-Kabeer Volume 2 Page 455)

  • ‘So he is in reality Al-Khalīfah Al-A’ẓam (the Greatest Khalīfah)

amongst the creation and he is the foremost Imām (leader) in the Earth and the Skies. And if He was not then Ādam would not be created nor would anything else (be created).’ (Rooh-ul- Ma’ani Volume 1 Page 218)

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Iblis – Jinn or Angel?

  • Some scholars state that Iblīs is separate to the Angels ُّ مِھۡیَلَع

ُّ مَلُُّسلا because Angels ُّ مَلُُّسلاُّ مِھۡیَلَع have been created from Noor (light) and Iblīs was made from (Naar) fire. Allah the Almighty ُّ ُّلَجَوُّزَع states: ‘He was of the Jinn. He therefore rebelled against his Lord’s command.’ Surah Al Kahf 18 Verse 50

  • The scholars who hold the opinion that Iblīs was not an Angel

state that he was included amongst the Angels ُّ مَلُُّسلاُّ مِھۡیَلَع due to the plentiful worship he carried out.

  • Some research scholars such as Al-’Allāmaĥ Al-Baghawī, Al-

Wāḥidī, Al-Qāḍī Al-Baiḍāwī, Al-’Allāmaĥ Al-Ālūsī and Al-’Allāmaĥ Ar-Rāzī ُّ ۃَمۡحَرُّیٰلاَعَتُِّٰٰاللْمِہۡیَلَع have gone towards the view that Iblīs was an Angel.

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Arrogance destroyed Iblis

  • ‘I am better than him. You created me from fire

and You created him from clay.’ Surah Al A’raaf (7) Verse 12

  • Someone who worshipped Allah ُّ

ُّلَجَوُّزَع for many years and who was proximate to the Almighty became accursed in a single moment due to disrespect in the Court of the Prophetُّ اللُّْیُّلَص َُّمُّلَسَوُِّہِل اَوُِّهیَلَعُّیٰلاَعَت. This insolent individual was extracted from Paradise and became worthy of La’nah (curse) till the Day of Judgement.

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Our Enemy

  • ‘He said, “Give me respite till the day when people will be

resurrected.” Allah ُّ ُّلَجَوُّزَع said, “You are given respite.” He said, “Hence I swear by the fact that You sent me astray, I will certainly lay in wait for them on Your Straight Path. Then I will certainly approach them from their front and from behind them and from their right and from their left; and You will find most of them not thankful.” Surah Al A’raaf (7:14-17)

  • “So indeed you are of those given respite. Till the day of a

well known time.” Surah Al Hijr (15:37-38)

  • ‘Indeed you do not have any power over my bondsmen.’

Surah Al Hijr (15:42)

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Name of the Cursed One

  • The name of Iblīs prior to his being accursed was

‘Azaazeel’ in Syriac and ‘Haarith’ in Arabic. When he rejected Allah’s command, his name became ‘Iblīs’ which means ‘to be furthered away from goodness and to despair of Allah’s mercy.’ He was also called ‘Shaitaan’. If its origin is ‘نطش’ then the meaning of Shaitaan is ‘the

  • ne who distanced himself from the truth.’ If it is derived

from ‘هطيش’ then the meaning of Shaitaan is ‘the one who will be destroyed and the one who will burn.’ Rooh-ul-Ma’ani Volume 1 Page 229, At-Tibyaan Volume 1 Page 125

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Why they were prohibited from the tree

  • ‘And do not approach this tree.’ Surah Al

Baqarah (2:35)

  • Divine Wisdom of Allah ُّ

ُّلَجَوُّزَع- He forbade Sayyidunā Ādam and Sayyidah Hawwā َُّيِضَرُّیٰلاَعَتُّ ٰٰاللْاَھۡنَع from going near a

  • tree. Forgetfulness occurred concerning

this command which became a reason for his descent on the Earth.

slide-20
SLIDE 20

Prophets are all free from sins

  • And indeed before this We made a covenant with Ādam, so He

forgot, and We did not find its intention (in him). Surah Ta-Ha (20:115)

  • ‘Al-Qāḍī Abu Bakr Bin Al-‘Arabī has clarified the impermissibility
  • f attributing sin to our immediate parents who are similar to

us (in being human beings and not more respectful than the Prophets ُّ ۃَلُُّصلاُّ مِھۡیَلَعُّ مَلُُّسلاَو). Then how can attribution (of sin) be permissible to the foremost Prophets ُّ ُّسلاَوُّ ۃَلُُّصلاُّ مِھۡیَلَعُّ مَلُ and the first, respected Prophet (Ādam). Al-Qurtubi was pleased with this...’

  • It is in ‘Ma’alim-ut-Tanzeel,’
  • ملعاو هيلع مدآ ىلع هريغو ىصاعملا قلبطا زوجي لب هنأملبسلا
  • ‘And know that the application of (words) such as sinful upon

Ādam is not permissible.’

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Descent to the Earth

‘And he removed them from where they were.’ Surah Al Baqarah (2:36)

  • ‘He said, “Both of you go down from

it (heaven).” Surah Ta-Ha (20:123)

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Repentance of Sayyiduna Adam

  • ‘Then Ādam learnt from His Lord certain

words (of revelation), therefore Allah accepted his repentance. Indeed He only is the Most Acceptor of repentance, the Most Merciful.’ Surah Al Baqarah (2:37)

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Words recited by Sayyiduna Adam

  • Sayyidunā Ibn ‘Abbas

َيِضَر یہلةَعَت ُہٰاللْ ُہۡنَع and some other scholars stated that those words were:

  • اَنُّبَر َنْمَحْرَت َو اَنَلْرِفْغَت ْمُّل ۡنِا َو ٜ اَنَسُفۡنَا ۤاَنْمَلَظ َنۡیِرِسٰخْلا َنِم ُّنَنۡوُکَنَل ا
  • ‘Our Lord, We have wronged ourselves, so if You do not forgive us and have

mercy on us, then surely, we are of the losers.’

  • The following words are narrated from Sayyidunā AbdUllah Bin Mas’ood about

the words of Sayyidunā Ādam ِہۡیَلَع ُمَلُُّسلاَ ُ َلُُّصلا;

  • كناحبسكريغ هلإ لبو كدج ىلاعتو كمسا كرابتو كدمحبو مهللا
  • ‘Glorified are You O Lord! And All Praise belongs to You. Your name is blessed

and Your Majesty is elevated and there is none worthy of worship but You.’

  • It is narrated from Wahb and Muḥammad Bin Ka’b that the words were;
  • نیرفاغلا ريخ كنا ىل رفغاف ىسفن تملظو ءوس تلمع كدمحبو مهللا كناحبس
  • ‘Glorified are You O Lord and all praise belongs to You! I committed bad and

wronged myself. So forgive me. Indeed You are the best of forgivers.’

  • This above mentioned statement is also attributed to Sayyidunā ‘AbdUllah Bin

‘Abbas َيِضَر ُہۡنَع یہلةَعَت ُہٰاللْ.

slide-24
SLIDE 24

One other statement about the words recited

  • One statement is that Sayyidunā Ādam

ُّ ُّسلاَوُّ ۃَلُُّصلاُِّہۡیَلَعُّ مَلُ saw ‘اللو لوسر دمحم’ –‘Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allah ُّیُّلَص َُّمُّلَسَوُِّہِل اَوُِّهیَلَعُّیٰلاَعَتُّ اللْ’ written on the leg (the support) of the ‘Arsh (throne) so he made that blessed name a means for Shafa’ah (intercession). This last point was also narrated by Sayyidunā Shah Abdul Azīz Moḥaddiš Daĥlawi in ‘Tafsīr Azīzī’ with reference to ‘At-Tabaraani’ ‘Al-Baihaqi’ and ‘Al-Haakim’ who narrated from Sayyidunā ‘Omar Bin Al-Khattaab.

  • ملسو هيلع اللو ىلص دمحم قحب كلئسا
  • ‘I ask you through the sake of Muḥammad

ُّ ُّسلاَوُّ ۃَلُُّصلاُِّہۡیَلَعُّ مَلُ peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.’

slide-25
SLIDE 25

Acceptance of the Repentance

  • Sayyidunā Ādam’s repentance was

accepted on Jumu’ah (Friday). Sayyidunā Ādam’s birth as well as departure from Jannah (Paradise) occurred on Friday as

  • well. The Friday was on the day of

‘Ashurah (10th Moharram).

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Prayer for his children

  • After his meeting with Sayyidah Hawwā

ُّ َعُّیٰلاَعَتُّ ٰٰاللَُّْيِضَراَھۡن, Sayyidunā Ādam ُِّہۡیَلَعُّ مَلُُّسلاَوُّ ۃَلُُّصلا stated in the Court of the Almighty,

  • ‘My offspring are extremely weak and the deception of the

Shaitaan is very severe. If You do not help them then how will they be preserved from Iblīs?’ The command of the Lord ُّ ُّلَجَوُّزَع came,

  • ‘O Ādam, your rulings were different and the regulations for

your descendants will be different. We will place an Angel with every human being.’

  • Sayyidunā Ādam

ُِّہۡیَلَعُّ مَلُُّسلاَوُّ ۃَلُُّصلا thanked the Almighty out of happiness. Tafseer Azeezi and Tafseer Na’eemi Volume 1 Page 291

slide-27
SLIDE 27

The first generation of human beings

  • Sayyidah Hawwā

َُّيِضَرُّیٰلاَعَتُّ ٰٰاللْاَھۡنَع expected children twenty or forty times. Every time she expected children, two were conceived – one male and one

  • female. The children born on separate occasions were treated like the

progeny of different parents. This was in terms of marriage thus the boy born on a separate year could marry a girl born on a separate year (but would not be allowed to marry the girl who was born through the same pregnancy as him).

  • Sayyidunā Ādam

ُِّہۡیَلَعُّ مَلُُّسلاَوُّ ۃَلُُّصلا had two children from every pregnancy apart from Sayyidunā Sheeth:

  • تعضوش ىلا مدآ نم لقتنا هرون ناف ملسو هيلع اللو ىلص دمحم انديس ةمارك هدحو ائيش ثي

ملبسلا هيلع

  • ‘She (Sayyidah Hawwā

َُّيِضَراَھۡنَعُّیٰلاَعَتُّ ٰٰاللْ) gave birth to Sheeth alone out of reverence for our Master Muḥammad ُِّہۡیَلَعُّ ۃَلُُّصلاُّ مَلُُّسلاَو. For indeed his light moved from Ādam to Sheeth.’ Tafseer As-Saawi – regarding Verse 12 of Surah An-Nisa (Surah 4) and Al-Mawaahib al-Ladunyah

slide-28
SLIDE 28

Haabeel and Qaabeel

  • ‘And recite to them the true tale of the two sons of Ādam; when both of

them offered a sacrifice each hence the sacrifice of one was accepted and it was not accepted from the other. He (the other) said, “I swear I will kill you.” He answered, “Allah only accepts from the pious. Indeed, if you extend your hand against me to kill me, I will not extend my hand against you to kill you; I fear Allah, the Lord ُّ ُّلَجَوُّزَع of the Universes. I only desire that you alone should bear my sin and your own sin hence you become of the people of hell; and that is the proper punishment of the unjust.’ Surah Al Maidah (5:27-29)

  • ‘So his soul incited him to kill his brother. He therefore killed him and was

amongst the losers.’ Surah Al Maidah (5:30)

  • ‘So Allah sent a crow scratching the ground, to show him how to hide his

brother’s corpse. He said, “Woe to me! I was not capable enough to be like this crow, so I would hide my brother’s corpse.” And he turned remorseful.’ Surah Al Maidah (5:31)
