THE LIFE OF ABU BAKR. R.A


Abu Bakr is known by all Muslims as the first Caliph, or successor, to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). His
Caliphate was marked by subjugating a massive revolt (The Wars of Apostasy) within the Arabian
Peninsula, and incursion into the Roman (Byzantine) and Persian (Sassanid) Empires.
His real name was Abdullah Abi Qahafa. Abu Bakr (Father of the Lively Camel) was actually his nickname.
He was about the same age as Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and they were best friends, before and after
the message of Islam came.
This friendship was strengthened and exemplified when the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) married Abu
Bakr’s daughter Aisha.
Once, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was asked who he loved most of all people. The Prophet (pbuh)
replied that he loved his wife Aisha the most. Then he was asked, who amongst the men and he replied:
“Her father.”
Abu Bakr was a merchant by trade and the chief of the Bani Tamim clan. He was also a renowned
genealogist and an interpreter of dreams.
Abu Bakr was the first free, adult male to accept Islam. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) once said that
everyone who was presented with Islam took some time to think it over before finally converting.
However, Abu Bakr was the only person who accepted Islam immediately without hesitation.
After accepting Islam, life became difficult for Abu Bakr. Like many of the other early Muslims, he was
subjected to persecution. Unlike some of the other companions, Abu Bakr’s clan was rather small and
weak. Although his family protected him as much as they could, they were not powerful enough to stop
all of the abuse.
The persecution eventually led Abu Bakr to decide to make Hijrah (migration) to the Abyssinian Empire
(Ethiopia) which several other early Muslims had also done. As he was preparing to leave Mecca, he met
one of the chiefs of Mecca name Abu Daghinah.
Abu Daghinah was shocked to hear the Abu Bakr was being forced to leave his home. So he offered him
his protection if he decided to stay in Mecca. Abu Bakr accepted his offer and it became known that he
had the chief’s protection.
This situation didn’t last long. Abu Bakr used to pray out in the open in his courtyard where everyone
could see him. And when he prayed, he usually cried. This spectacle irritated the Quraish as it caused
their women and children to stop and stare at him.
Eventually, Abu Daghinah asked Abu Bakr to pray in his home instead of outside. Abu Bakr refused and
gave back his offer of protection.
Perhaps the most outstanding trait of Abu Bakr was his desire to spread the message of Islam. He was
responsible for buying the freedom of many slaves who had accepted Islam. The most famous of these
was Bilal Ibn Rabah who was being tortured for becoming Muslim.
Abu Bakr also spread the message of Islam amongst the merchant class in Mecca. Several important
companions of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) became Muslim through Abu Bakr’s propagation. These
include:
• Uthman Ibn Affan
• Sa’ad Ibn Abi Waqqas
• Abdur Rahman Ibn Auf
• Zubair Ibn Al-Awwam
• Talha Ibn Ubaidullah
When the time came to make the Hijrah to Medina, Abu Bakr was one of the last to leave. He wanted to
wait until the Prophet made the Hijrah and was happy to join him in the trip.
Soon after Abu Bakr and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) fled Mecca, a party of the Quraish came after
them. Along the way, Abu Bakr and the prophet hid in a cave while the Quraish were looking for them.
At one point, the Quraish came so close to the cave, that Abu Bakr later commented that if they had
only looked down, they would have found them.
In Medina, Abu Bakr proved his loyalty many times. He took part in all of the battles that Prophet
Muhammad took part in. Abu Bakr was a key figure in just about every major event during this period.
• He partook in the Battle of Badr.
• He partook in the Battle of Uhud.
• He witnessed the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.
• He partook in the Battle of Mecca and Tabook.
When the Muslims conquered Mecca, the Prophet (pbuh) forgave all of the Quraish who at one point
used to fight and persecute the Muslims. The Prophet (pbuh) took the pledge of allegiance from the
men of Mecca, while Abu Bakr to the pledge from the women of Mecca.
When Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) took ill just before his death, he appointed Abu Bakr to lead the
prayer. Abu Bakr’s daughter Aisha tried to get Umar Ibn Khattab to lead instead as she thought her
father was too emotional.
But when Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) found out, he became upset and insisted that Abu Bakr lead
instead.
After Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) returned to Allah, Abu Bakr was chosen as the Caliph (successor). The
story of his appointment as Caliph and the events that happened during his reign will be covered in the
next article, Inshallah.

Pollutions

Environmental Pollution

According to scientists, environmental pollution is among the most serious problems facing humanity today. This is especially significant since the adverse effect of environmental pollution affects people directly, yet they often do not even realize it. For example, people breathe air that is heavily polluted with nitrogen dioxide given off by cars, planes and factories which causes severe respiratory problems. Yet while breathing it, they do not realize what harm they have caused to themselves. If the exposure to the pollution was minimal, over time the immune system will clear the body of the harmful effects of the pollution. However, if the exposure is excessive, it may overpower the immune system or even kill it, eventually resulting in one's death.

SPIRITUAL POLLUTION

Just as pollution of the physical environment — air, water, soil, etc. — causes severe harm to one's physical self, pollution of the social or spiritual environment with anti-Imaan elements is bound to harm one's Imaan. If the exposure to such environments is excessive, it could paralyse one's Imaan or even destroy it – Allah I forbid. It is thus vitally important that one remains in an environment that is not polluted by anti–Imaan elements. The environment in terms of this discussion is made up by what is in one's surroundings and who is there. For instance, if one is in a Musjid and among pious people, the environment is clean. On the contrary if one is in a casino, rave club or immoral party, etc., and among people who are devoid of Deen, the environment is totally polluted.

The importance of being in the correct environment is clearly highlighted in the Qur'an and Sunnah. In surah Bani Israeel Allah I declares: "Say (O Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam) everyone acts according to his own way." The commentators have explained this to mean that a person acts according to what has become his second nature due to the circumstances and due to the habits and customs of those he lives with (which is not always the correct way). From this verse Imaam Abu Bakr Al-Jassas (R.A) has highlighted the importance of refraining from evil surroundings and bad company since one's surroundings and company will dictate what one does.

SWEET SCENT

In a beautiful parable Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam has emphasised the effects of one's surroundings and company. Allah`s messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam declares: "The example of a good companion and an evil companion is similar to that of a musk-seller and a blacksmith. The musk-seller will either give you some musk, or you may buy some from him or (if he does not give you nor do you buy) you will at least get the sweet scent of musk (by being in his presence). As for the blacksmith, he will either burn your clothes (if a spark flies out of his fire when he blows into it to kindle it) or at the least you will smell the bad odours" (Mishkaat). The lesson is that one cannot escape the effects of one's company and surroundings, whether positive or negative.

SABR AND SACRIFICE

Taking pains to remain in a pollution free environment can result in one's forgiveness. In a well-known narration it is reported that a person of the previous nations committed one hundred murders. He decided to repent and went to some learned people for advice. They informed him that there was nothing that can deprive him from forgiveness if he repents sincerely. However, he was told to leave the place where he lived since it was a place of evil people and migrate to another town where the people were pious. He immediately left for the other town but passed away en-route. Since he was found to be closer to the intended place of pious people, he was forgiven (Mishkaat). It was surely a major sacrifice for this person to leave his place and migrate elsewhere. Yet the sabr (patience) he undertook in distancing himself from the environment polluted by vice earned him the forgiveness of Allah Ta'ala. Thus at times sacrifices of convenience, pleasure and even wealth may become necessary to stay away from sinful surroundings.

TSUNAMI

The danger and harm of being in evil surroundings, despite not having any intention of engaging in evil or sin, is clearly understood from another narration. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam is reported to have said: "An army (prior to Qiyamah) will march towards the Ka`bah to destroy it. When they reach an open field, every one of them will be swallowed into the ground." "Why will everyone be swallowed in to the earth whereas some among them were merely traders or were there for some other purpose (i.e. Their intention for being among them was not to march against the Ka`bah)?" enquired the Sahabah (R.A). Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam replied: "They will all be swallowed in to the earth. Thereafter on the day of judgment they will be resurrected according to their intentions." The message is clear. When a calamity befalls the evildoers, those in the surroundings will also be washed away by the tsunami of the wrath of Allah I. It is therefore obvious that one must totally refrain from places where vices are openly perpetrated.

HOLIDAY RESORTS

Among the common surroundings which are heavily polluted with vice are the main beachfront areas, holiday resorts and other such places, especially during the holiday seasons. People dressed in a few scraps of cloth, who can only be described as naked, pack such places. Drunken hoards will be roam about all over the place. Illicit and immoral activities are the norm. "Beach events" which are gatherings of pure fitna add to the severe pollution. It would be a miracle if one can leave from such places with one's Imaan unaffected.

WORST PLACE

Another generally very polluted environment is the market place. While this applies to any business area, the intensity of the pollution in modern-day shopping malls is far greater. The pollution of these places is evident from the Hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam wherein he declared: "The most beloved of all places on the earth to Allah I are the Masaajid and the most detested of all places on the earth to Allah I are the bazaars" (Mishkaat).

The thought will naturally come to mind that one has to go to the shopping centres for one's necessities. How can this be reconciled with the Hadith above? The answer can be easily understood from the following example. Supposing there are some toxic fumes in the atmosphere or thick smog all around town. However, one needs to urgently buy bread for one's family. What will one do? Any sane person will take every precaution before venturing out. Depending on the severity of the situation, he will perhaps even wear a mask or at least hold a handkerchief over his nose and mouth. The route taken will be the shortest. The necessities will be bought as quickly as possible. Even if it is at a higher price around the corner compared to the shopping mall, one will most likely opt to pay little more rather than remain exposed to the thick smog for a longer time. Upon returning he will wash his eyes and face to rid himself from the effects of the smog. A sane person will certainly not go "bargain hunting" while breathing toxic fumes. He will also not walk about casually "just to look around."

DISINFECT

Nowadays the bazaars are choking with the toxic fumes of nudity, immoral and illicit activity and a host of other vices. One who has to venture into the bazaars either to conduct his business or buy his necessities will take every possible precaution. He will perhaps even perform two rakaats of nafil Salaah and beg Allah I to protect him from the toxic fumes. The bare minimum will be that he will earnestly make dua in his heart and seek refuge with Allah I. While going about completing the task as quickly as possible, his tongue and heart will be engaged in the zikr of Allah I. His eyes will be fixed to the ground lest any toxic particles affect his sight and heart. As soon as the work is done, he will rush out, earnestly engaged in istighfaar (seeking Allah I forgiveness) and thereby disinfect himself from the effects of the exposure. Thus one will obviously not venture into bazaars, fairs, fetes and the like to be "entertained" or "hunt for bargains". The pollution of the intermingling of men and women and other vices will surely harm one's Imaan.

EATING OUT

Another polluted environment is often found at many popular eating-out venues. For one little ice-cream or meal, one is exposed to the harmful radiation of an environment that can cause cancer to one's Imaan. Will one expose one's physical self to cancer causing radiation from a nuclear fallout? The radiation of a sinful environment is far worse.

The above are just some examples that can be extended to many other situations. Of vital importance is to become very health conscious — mainly of one's Imaani health. The door of repentance in the court of Allah I is open. It is time to repent and remain in pollution free environments all the time. May Allah I enable us to do so. Aameen

Why it is prescribed for Muslims to perform Hajj once in a Lifetime


We Muslims feel honoured and proud to be the slaves of Allaah, the One, the Self-Sufficient Master, Who begets not nor was He begotten, and there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him; He is our Lord and we have no Lord besides Him.

Hence we respond to the commands of our Lord with the utmost humility and submit to His commands, for we know that He is the All-Wise and no wisdom is greater than His. We know that He is the Most-Merciful and there is none more merciful than Him, may He be glorified and praised. Hence we love Him in a way that demands that we obey His commands even if that is somewhat difficult for us. We feel proud, happy and content when we do that which He commands us to do.

For if a human loves another person, he loves to serve him and that may make him happy. So what do you think about the Almighty Lord Who created us and grants us provision, and everything that we have is a blessing from Him? And His is the highest description. We owe everything to our Lord, so we must hasten to do all that He commands us to do, so that we might give back some small thanks for His great blessings. We can never thank Him enough, but by His grace Allaah the Most Generous accepts our small efforts and rewards us for them greatly.

For example, Hajj or pilgrimage. If a Muslim does Hajj in the manner required by his Lord, then Allaah has promised to forgive him his sins and admit him to Paradise, on condition that he does not spoil this action by committing any major action that would invalidate it and earn the anger of Allaah.

One of the great mercies that Allaah has bestowed upon this ummah (nation, i.e., the Muslims), is that Allaah has made obedience to His commands and the commands of His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) subject to the condition that one be able to do them. So long as a person is able to do them, then it is obligatory for him to do what is required of him, otherwise he is not obliged to do so and he is excused. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Allaah burdens not a person beyond his scope” [al-Baqarah 2:286] – i.e., He does not ask him to do more than he can bear.

Concerning Hajj in particular, Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka‘bah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allaah, those who can afford the expenses (for one’s conveyance, provision and residence)” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:97]

By His mercy He has enjoined this upon His slaves once in a lifetime, so that it will not be too difficult for them, but He urges those who are able to do Hajj and ‘Umrah more than once to do so.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Keep on doing Hajj and ‘Umrah, for they take away poverty and sins as the bellows takes away the impurity from iron.” (Narrated by al-Nasaa’i, 2/4; this is a saheeh hadeeth as was stated by al-Albaani in al-Silsilat al-Saheehah, 1200).

This great act of worship was prescribed by Allaah so that we might praise Him and glorify Him, and thank Him for His great blessings and bounty. The purpose of Tawaaf around the Ka’bah is not simply to go around these stones! No, rather the reason is that Allaah has commanded us to go around it seven times and we obey Allaah by going around it seven times, no more and no less; rather we do what He has commanded us and we feel that we are His slaves, humbling ourselves before Him and praising Him and thanking Him for choosing us to be His slaves out of all of mankind who worship various gods, and may even worship themselves or their own desires.

The same applies to all the rituals of Hajj, and indeed to all the acts of worship that Allaah has prescribed for us. Praise be to Allaah, Who has honoured us with this great religion.

Moreover, your interest in asking about the Hajj at your young age indicates that you are keen to learn and find out. We advise you to learn more about Islam and to read about it, and to find out for yourself that it is the religion that suits the natural inclinations of man. This will set you on the path towards pleasing your Almighty Lord, Who created you and Who provides for you, and Who deserves that you should worship Him alone and none other.

Perhaps you know that our prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us that his fellow-Prophet ‘Eesa (Jesus – peace be upon him) will come down at the end of time and will perform pilgrimage to this House, and he will declare his belief in Allah alone (Tawheed). We believe that this will happen as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us, just as we believe that the sun rises in the morning. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “By the One in Whose hand is my soul, the son of Maryam (the son of Mary, i.e. Jesus) will certainly pronounce the Talbiyah for Hajj or for ‘Umrah, or for both in the valley of Rawha.” (Narrated by Muslim, 1252). The valley of Rawha’ is a place between Makkah and Madeenah.

[Translator’s note: The Talbiyah is a prayer recited by pilgrims going to Makkah. It may be translated as follows: “Here I am at your service, O Allaah, here I am. Here I am at Your Service, You have no partner, here I am. All praise and blessings are Yours, and all dominion. You have no partner.”]

We ask Allaah to open your heart to true guidance…
Ameen.
