IMPORTANCE HADITH KNOWLEDGE ISSUING FATWA AND SHARIAH OPINION Knowledge of hadith and its understanding are crucial for anyone issuing legal rulings. This applies both to those in official capacities, like a mufti, and to fiqh scholars providing personal opinions when consulted. The past mujtahid scholars all placed great emphasis on this second source in Islam. Without clarity regarding the sciences of hadith and its disciplines, the fatwas and legal opinions given can easily go astray. We have worked diligently to translate and provide brief explanations for over 6,000 hadiths from the book "Mishkat al-Masabih" as a starting point to provide convenience to students and scholars in referring to hadith. Visit www.masabih.org. Just look at the words of the past scholars regarding the importance of hadith: قال الإمام أبو حنيفة رضي الله عنه: (لم تزل الناس في صلاح ما دام فيهم من يطلب الحديث، فإذا طلبوا العلم بلا حديث فسدوا) Meaning: Imam Abu Hanifa rh said: "Peop

The Jack Ma Story: Why Thinking Big Is More Important Than Technical Knowledge Building one of the world’s largest e-commerce companies doesn’t require specialized or technical knowledge, genius-level math—or even a business plan. So what does it take? Here’s the story of Jack Ma, the richest man in China and, with about $35 billion in assets, one of the richest people in the world. Jack Ma was born in 1964. As a boy, he did everything he could to learn English. He was an avid reader of Mark Twain and used every opportunity to get better at English. Aged 12, he had an idea of how he could improve his English skills: Every morning at five o’clock he rode his bicycle for 40 minutes to an international hotel in his hometown and waited there for tourists. When he approached them, he proposed a deal. He would show them around the city as a travel guide and they would teach him English in return. Even in rain and snow, he waited outside the hotel day after day, morning aft

THE PRINCIPITY OF SEEKING KNOWLEDGE FROM OTHER WORSHIP By: Ahmad Syahrin Thoriq Ibn Mas'ud radhiyallahu'anhu said: لا يزال الفقيه يصلي "People who are experts in religion also pray all the time." Any question : وكيف يصلي ؟ "How can he count on praying all the time?" Ibn Abbas answered: God bless you "By reciting the remembrance of Allah through his heart and tongue." Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu'anhu said: لأن أجلس ساعة فأتفقه في ديني أحب إلي من إحياء ليلة إلى الصباح "Indeed, I prefer sitting for a moment to study my religion more than praying all night until dawn." Said Ibn Abbas radhiyallahu'anhumaa: God willing, God willing, God willing "Studying knowledge for part of the night is more preferable to me than worshiping all night." Said al Imam Sufyan ats Tsauri Rahimahullah: ما من عمل أفضل من طلب العلم إذا صحت فيه النية "There is no greater deed than seeking knowledge if one's intentions are straight

THE IMPORTANCE OF A TEACHER IN SEARCHING KNOWLEDGE Our teacher Sheikh Hasan Hitou wrote a story in his book المُتَفَيْقِهُوْن.  When I was studying at Al Azhar, my teacher told me that he read a sentence in the Muamalah Chapter which reads: (وَيَحْرُمُ لٍ لٍ).  "I can't even understand this sentence, I finally saw it in several syarah books, even hasyiyah, but still, there are no scholars who explain this sentence. And I almost thought there was something wrong with the books and the scholars who wrote them, because no one really explained the meaning of this difficult sentence." "However, before that I corrected myself first. Because if the error came from the author, there must be other scholars who would explain this sentence, it is impossible for them to agree on one mistake. Therefore, most likely the fault lies with me and how I understand." "Finally, I went to my teacher to ask this. Then he said: "O my son, whoever takes kn
