Hadith 4



TRANSLATION
A man asked the Messenger of Allah (May Allah bless him and give him peace): “Do you think that If I perform the obligatory prayers, fast in Ramadan, treat as lawful that which is lawful and treat as forbidden that which is forbidden, and do nothing further, I shall enter paradise?” He said: “yes”.                              

TEACHINGS
(a)      Five times prayer is obligatory upon Muslims. When a Muslim performs his obligatory prayer, he has done his duty towards Allah. Besides that his other prayers will add reward for him. In the same way, Fasting during the thirty days of Ramadan is obligatory. Besides this all fasting is either optional (Nafil) or compensatory (Qaza).
To be careful about lawful and unlawful is not an easy job because Satan attracts us towards sin. This part of Hadith is very comprehensive and covers the entire Muslim life about right and wrong.
The prophet (saw) answered the man that he would enter into paradise if he follows only obligatory acts but this is not a general principle. In this case the Prophet (saw) gave a special privilege to a particular person but Muslims should also follow the optional prayers and optional fasting because the Prophet (saw) practiced them continuously.


(b)      The Prophet (sw) says:
“Prayers (Salat) is the pillar of religion”.
It means that without prayers the entire building of faith may collapse. Therefore the prophet (saw) emphasized on obligatory prayer. Sura Al Baqarah says:
“O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you so that you may learn self-restrain”.
This Ayat shows that leaving obligatory fasting without a genuine reason is a major sin. Allah has defined clearly in the Quran what things are ulawful (haraam). A Muslim should avoid unlawful. In Sura Al Anaam Ayat 120, Allah says:
“And refrain from open sins as well as secret sins.”
A Hadith of the Prophet (sw) says:
"No one eats better food than that which he eats out of the work of his hand”.

The Revelation of Quran to the Prophet (saw) between 610-632 Q         Write an account of the ways in which the Quran was revealed to the Prophet (saw) between the years 610 and 632.                                           [10-N-09] In 610, the holy prophet (saw) was forty years old when the first revelation of Sura Al Alaq was brought to him by Jibreel (as) in the cave of Hira. Soon, he started receiving more revelations. For the first three years he preached those who were close to him. Khadija (ra), ten blessed companions and some other companions became Muslim during this time. After three years, he was commanded to preach openly. The pagans of Makkah opposed him.

They emphasize on believing in one Allah, not worshipping false gods. They emphasize in believing in the Hereafter and following the way of God in this world. The lang

Life in Makkah-570-622 AD - his early life Q         Write about the life of the Prophet (saw) up until the first Revelation. [10-J-10] Q         Give an account of the Prophet’s life up to the time the revelations began. [10-Nov 14-2058/11] Mohammad (saw) was born in 571 AD in Makkah in the family of Banu Hashim of the tribe of Quresh. This year was also known as the year of elephants because in this year the king of Yemen, Abraha, attacked Makkah with the intention to destroy the holy Kaaba along with an army of elephants. He failed because Allah sent small birds with stones in their feet and beaks which destroyed the army. It was a very historic event in the history of Arabs. Quran reminds this event in Sura Al Feel (elephants). His father’s name was Abdullah and his mother was Amina. His grand-father was Abdul Muttalib who was a highly respected person of makkah. He had ten sons. Abdullah was the youngest son and a very handsome man. He married to Amina who was
