बिस्मिल्लाह का बयान
बिस्मिल्लाह' का बयान रसूलुल्लाह सल्लल्लाहो अलैहे व सल्लम ने फ़रमाया: हर ज़ीशान काम 'बिस्मिल्लाह' से शुरू न किया जाए, वह अधूरा रहेगा और फ़रमाया जब तुम वुज़ू करो तो 'बिस्मिल्लाह वलहमदुलिल्लाह' कह लिया करो।

हज़रत इब्ने अब्बास से रिवायत है रसूलुल्लाह सल्लल्लाहो अलैहे व सल्लम ने फ़रमाया की कोई आदमी जब अपनी बीवी के पास आए तो कहे बिस्मिल्लाहिर्रहमानिर्रहीम ऐ अल्लाह हमको शैतान से महफूज रख और जो तू मुझे अता फ़रमाए उससे भी शैतान को दूर रख और कोई औलाद हो तो शैतान उसे भी नुकसान नहीं पहुँचा सकेगा (बुख़ारी शरीफ जिल्दे अव्वल सफ़ा 26)।

फ़िरऔन ने ख़ुदाई का दावा करने से पहले एक महल बनवाया था और उसके बाहरी दरवाज़े पर 'बिस्मिल्लाह' लिखवाया, लेकिन जब उसने ख़ुदाई का दावा किया तो हज़रत मूसा अलैहिस्सलाम ने फ़िरऔन को अल्लाह पर ईमान लाने की दावत दी, उसने क़ुबूल नहीं की तो हज़रत मूसा अल्लैहिस्सलाम ने हलाकत (बर्बादी) की दुआ की। 'ऐ अल्लाह फ़िरऔन को हलाक (बर्बाद) फ़रमा जो बंदा होने के बावजूद मअबूद (खुदा) बना हुआ है। "ऐ मूसा फ़िरऔन इस क़ाबिल है कि उसे हलाक कर दिया जाए, लेकिन मैं अपना नाम देख रहा हूँ। इसी वजह से फ़िरऔन के घर पर अज़ाब नहीं आया। अल्लाह ने उसे वहाँ से निकाल के दरियाए नील में डुबोया। जो अपने मकान के बाहिरी दरवाज़े पर 'बिस्मिल्लाह' लिख लिया, वह हलाकत से दुनिया में बेखौफ हो गया।" (तफसीरे नईमी जि. 1, सं. 43)हज़रत ईसा अलैहिस्सलान एक क़ब्र से गुज़रे उस कब्र की मय्यत पर बहुत सख्त अज़ाब हो रहा था, यह देखकर चंद क़दम आगे तशरीफ़ ले गए और इसतन्जा फ़रमाकर वापिस आए तो देखा कब्र में नूर ही नूर है और वहाँ रहमते इलाही की बारिश हो रही है। आप बहुत हैरान हुए और बारगाहे इलाही में अर्ज़ की ऐ अल्लाह मुझे इससे आगाह फ़रमा। इरशाद हुआ ऐ ईसा यह शख्स ज्यादह गुनाह और बदकारी की वजह से अज़ाब में गिरफ्त था, लेकिन इसने अपनी हामेला बीवी छोड़ी थी। उसको लड़का पैदा हुआ और उसको मकतब (मदरसा) भेजा गया। उस्ताद ने उसको 'बिस्मिल्लाह' पढ़ाई हमें हया आई कि मैं ज़मीन के अंदर उस शख्स को अज़ाब दूँ, जिसका बच्चा ज़मीन पर मेरा नाम ले रहा है। नेक बच्चों की नेकी से वालदैन की निजात होती है (निजामे शरिअत सं. 37)। मसअला- बिस्मिल्लाह क़ुरान पाक की कुंजी है। बल्कि हर दुनियावी व दीनी जाइज़ काम की भी कुंजी है, जो काम उसके बग़ैर किया जाए, अधूरा रहता है। मसअला- बिस्मिल्लाह क़ुरान पाक की पूरी आयत है, मगर किसी सूरत का जुज हीं, बल्कि सूरतों में फ़ासेला करने के लिए उतारी गई है। मसअला- नमाज़ में इसको आहिस्ता से पढ़ते हैं, अलबत्ता जो हा़फिज़ तरावीह में पूरा क़ुरान पाक ख़त्म करे तो ज़रूरी है कि किसी सूरत के साथ बिस्मिल्लाह ज़ोर से पढ़े। हर जाइज़ काम बिस्मिल्लाह से शुरू करना मुस्तहब है। मसअला- जानवर ज़िबाह करते वक्त बिस्मिल्लाह पढ़ना वाजिब है। अगर जान-बूझकर छोड़ दिया तो जानवर का गोश्त खाना हराम होगा है। NazminHussain786 (talk) 08:33, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Who are Ahle-Bait اهل بيت? An Explanation of Surah Al Ahzaab 33:33
Why do Sh’iaa scholars use Surah Al Ahzaab 33:33 to prove infallibility of the twelve Imaams. See a detailed discussion on the Ayah, and understand the true meaning of the term Ahle Bait. Muhammad - Peace be upon him

Around 'Aashoora 10th Muharram this year, I attempted to discuss the irrationality in mourning over someone who is actually enjoying in paradise, with our Shi'aa brothers. One way or the other, academic or un-academic Shi'aa, Sunni discussion would be diverted to the issue of Ahle-Bait. Shi'aa would blame us for not valuing the Ahle-Bait the way we should, and many a times they'll be proving their point not through logic but through their 'genealogy'. The major sect of Shi'aas, isna-'ashriyaa (the twelvers or the muswee), they believe that 12 imams are m'asum (infallible). Ignoring the history of the divide, this is the major difference between sunnis and shi'aas that stands to the present day. This is the reason for the difference in our beliefs and actions. Although, different sects of shi'aas themselves differ in who actually the m'asum (infallible) are. You can read the differences amongst Isma'ilis, Muswee (twelvers), Zaidi etc to understand this point. So, how to resolve this difference? Sunnis also have a concept of Imaams (leaders) but our deen doesn't revolve around Imaams as the Shi'aa deen does. Shi'aas and Sunnis don't have common books of hadith. In the Shi'aas books of hadith you'll see narrations ending at the imaams, and the sayings of imaams are a source for them. So, the books of hadith can't be used to reach a common belief. One thing to note here is that when debating with Shi'aas you'll often see Shi'aas quoting references from Sunni books of hadith and history to prove their point. We can't do the same often because Shi'aas filtered most of the Sahaba as unauthentic and their views can go to as extreme as all sahaba apostated after the death of Rasulullah except the Ahle-bait (their understanding of it) and four others. And this is not a totally scarce concept in Sh'ism, it can be found in the books of their famous scholars, like the Persian Baqir Majlisi. Also, when you are quoting for Sunni references you have to take-care of rules formulated by sunni muhaditheen. We don't use the books of history (especially when they contain weak chains of narration or contain no chain at all) as a proof of matters of Shar'iah (jurisprudence) and Shi'aas use them wen to prove the matter of 'Aqaid (beliefs) for which the Sunni scholars have laid down very even stricter conditions. Also, you will very commonly find narrations with D'aeef (weak) and Mawdhu' (fabricated) chains from Sunni sources used as evidences by Shi'aa scholars. The common Shi'aa might also make fun of you when you tell him that the narration you quoted isn't authentic, but, the fact is that even the Shi'aa scholars laid down rules of Hadith, and you find Al-Kaafi with Tehqeeq and it does contain many D'aeef (weak) narrations. One should also note here that the most authentic book of hadith with Shi'aas, Al-Kaafi, contains many D'aeef (weak) narrations as opposed to the Saheehain with the Sunnis. So, the only thing common between us and the Shi'aas is the Qur'an. Few Sunni scholars do highlight that even Qur'an is not common between Sunnis and Shi'aas and one can find some absurd sayings regarding the Holy Qu'ran in few books of Shi'aas though Allah has himself taken the responsibility of protection of the Holy Qur'an. But, this is a view that isn't really common amongst the Shi'aas of the day, so we can easily ignore it. Some sunnis might argue that they don't openly express their beliefs regarding Qur'an because of Taqiyyah. I'd rather ignore this for the time being as well, and I'd like some Shi'aa to tell me what they think of Baqir Majlisi and his books. Things can become really clear if we know what they think of him. So, can the Shi'aas prove to us from the Holy Qur'an that: 1. The Ahle-Bait only includes Fatimah, Ali, Hasan, Hussain and their children. 2. And the twelve imams are m'asum (infallible) One Important thing to note down here is that the Sunnis do not speak against the great virtues of Fatimah, Ali, Hasan and Husain رضى الله عنهم. Another important think to note down is that a generic proof for Qur'an for the significance of Ahle-Bait won't really prove anything because the significance and status of Ahle-Bait is something that even Sunnis believe. Also a generic proof will mean that everyone from the children of Hasan and Hussain is infallible which is not actually what Shi'aas believe in general, though few Shi'aas do think that Syeds are 'more' Muslims than non-Syeds and they also use darood e ibrahimi to prove this which is discussed in the end of this article. What is to be proven is: the twelve imaams are m'asum (infallible). It would be really irrational to believe that Allah forgot to certify the future twelve in the Holy Qur'an as we see that Qur'an repeats the basic beliefs so often. It leaves no doubt in our minds that we've to follow the Prophet Muhammad. It gives us no room to think bad about the Sahaba (companions). Amazingly, Qur'an gives no direct, in-direct information of twelve infallible leaders to come. So, the shi'aas did come up with a proof from the Holy Qur'an. It is Ayah Number 33 from Surah Al Ahzaab. In this writing we'll try to understand what Qur'an is actually saying this Ayah, as this Ayah is commonly quoted by Shi'aas while debating with Sunnis. وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَأَقِمْنَ الصَّلَاةَ وَآتِينَ الزَّكَاةَ وَأَطِعْنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۚ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا And stay quietly in your houses, and make not a dazzling display, like that of the former Times of Ignorance; and establish regular Prayer, and give regular Charity; and obey Allah and His Messenger. And Allah only wishes to remove all abomination from you, ye members of the Family, and to make you pure and spotless. (Surah Al Ahzaab 33:33) NazminHussain786 (talk) 08:41, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

PART TWO: THE INFORMATION GIVEN ABOUT THE FUTURE IN THE QUR'AN
INTRODUCTION

Another miraculous aspect of the Qur'an is that it revealed beforehand a number important events that would occur in the future. Verse 27 of Sura Fath, for example, gave the believers the glad tidings that they would conquer Mecca, which was then under pagan occupation:

"God has confirmed His Messenger's vision with truth: 'You will enter the Masjid al-Haram in safety, God willing, shaving your heads and cutting your hair without any fear.' He knew what you did not know and ordained, in place of this, an imminent victory." (The Qur'an, 48:27)

On close consideration, the verse can be seen to announce yet another victory that will take place before the victory of Mecca. Indeed, as stated in the verse, the believers first conquered the Khyber Fortress, which was under the control of the Jews, and then entered Mecca.

The announcement of the events that will take place in the future is only one of the pieces of wisdom in the Qur'an. This is also evidence to the fact that the Qur'an is the word of God, Who has infinite knowledge. The defeat of Byzantium is one of the pieces of news given about the future, accompanied by other information that could not have been known by the people of that time. The most interesting point about this historical event, which will be examined in detail in the following pages, is that the Romans were defeated in the lowest region in the world. This is interesting because "the lowest point" is particularly stressed in the relevant verse. With the technology of that time, it was obviously impossible to make such a measurement and to determine the lowest point in the world. This is a revelation to people from God, the All-Knowing.

The Victory of Byzantium

Another astonishing piece of revelation that the Qur'an gives about the future is to be found in the first verses of Sura Rum, which refers to the Byzantine Empire, the eastern part of the later Roman Empire. In these verses, it is stated that the Byzantine Empire had met with a great defeat, but that it would soon gain victory.

"Elif, Lam, Mim. The Romans have been defeated in the lowest land, but after their defeat they will themselves be victorious in a few years' time. The affair is God's from beginning to end." (The Qur'an, 30:1-4)

The Dead Sea basin where Byzantium was defeated by Persians. Above is a satellite photograph of the region. The Lake of Lut region, which is the lowest region of the world, is 395 meter below the sea level.

These verses were revealed around 620 AD, almost seven years after the severe defeat of Christian Byzantium at the hands of the idolater Persians. Yet it was related in the verses that Byzantium would shortly be victorious. In fact, Byzantium had then suffered such heavy losses that it seemed impossible for it even to survive, let alone be victorious again. Not only the Persians, but also Avars, Slavs and Lombards posed serious threats to the Byzantine Empire. The Avars had reached as far as the walls of Constantinople. The Byzantine Emperor Heraclius had ordered the gold and silver in churches to be melted and turned into money in order to meet the expenses of the army. When these proved insufficient, even bronze statues were melted down to be turned into money. Many governors had revolted against Emperor Heraclius, and the empire was on the point of collapse. Mesopotamia, Cilicia, Syria, Palestine, Egypt and Armenia, which had earlier belonged to Byzantium, were invaded by the idolater Persians.(20)

In short, everyone was expecting the Byzantine Empire to be destroyed. But right at that moment, the first verses of Sura Rum were revealed, announcing that Byzantium would triumph in a few years' time. This victory seemed so impossible that Arab polytheists had gone so far as to make fun of these verses. They thought that the victory announced in the Qur'an would never come true.

Around seven years after the revelation of the first verses of Sura Rum, in December 627 AD, a decisive battle between Byzantium and the Persian Empire was fought at Nineveh. And this time the Byzantine army unexpectedly defeated the Persians. A few months later, the Persians had to make an agreement with Byzantium, which obliged them to return the territories they had taken from it.(21)

Above is a satellite photograph of the Dead Sea basin. The altitude of the Dead Sea could only be determined with modern measurement techniques. These measurements led to the discovery that this is the "lowest region on the Earth".

At the end, "the victory of the Romans," proclaimed by God in the Qur'an, miraculously came true.

Another miracle revealed in these verses is the announcement of a geographical fact that could not have been known by anyone at that time.

In the third verse of Sura Rum, we are informed that the Romans had been defeated in the lowest region of the Earth. This expression, "Adna al Ard" in Arabic, is interpreted as "a nearby place" in many translations. Yet this is not the literal meaning of the original statement, but rather a figurative interpretation of it. The word "Adna" in Arabic is derived from the word "deni", which means "low" and "ard", which means "world". Therefore the expression "Adna al Ard" means "the lowest place on the Earth".

Most interestingly, the crucial stages of the war fought between the Byzantine Empire and the Persians, when the Byzantines were defeated and lost Jerusalem, had really taken place at the lowest point on earth. This specified region is the Dead Sea basin, which is situated at the intersection point of the lands belonging to Syria, Palestine, and Jordan. The "Dead Sea", lying 395 meters below sea level, really is the lowest region on Earth.

This means that the Byzantines were defeated at the lowest part of the world, just as stated in the verse.

The most interesting point lies in the fact that the altitude of the Dead Sea could only be measured with modern measurement techniques. Before that, it was impossible for anyone to know that it was the lowest region on the surface of the Earth. Yet, this region was stated to be the lowest point on the Earth in the Qur'an. Hence, this provides further evidence that the Qur'an is divine revelation. NazminHussain786 (talk) 08:51, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
