ISL201 Lecture 7 Practical Law


                                            ISL201 Lecture 7 Practical Law (Ibadat)
(From VU Recommended Book By A.S Bukhari and M.D Zafar)
                                                       PRACTICAL LAW  (IBADAT)

Ibadaat is the plural of the Arabic word Ibadaat, which is derived from “Abd” meaning a servant and slave. Thus the meaning of ibadaat is servitude and slavery. Almighty Allah says in the Holy Quran:

 

“I created the jinn and human kind-only that they might worship Me.” (Surah Al-Zariyat: 56)

 

This clearly means that the purpose of creation of mankind and jinns is that they devote themselves to the worship of Almighty Allah.

 

The requisites which constitute together ‘Ibadat’ are:

1. Fidelity to Allah.

2. Obedience to Allah; and

3. Respect and reverence for Allah.

 

Therefore, what Almighty Allah has said in the verse quoted above actually means that He created these two species “so that they will be faithful only to Allah and to no other being, that they will follow the commandments of Allah only, that they will not listen to the order of anybody else against Him, and will bow their heads in respect and reverence only to Him and to none else. These three things have been described by Almighty Allah in the comprehensive term: ‘Ibadat’. This is what is meant by all those verses in which Allah has commanded that ‘Ibadat’ be rendered to Him. The gist of the teachings of our Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) and of all the Prophets (p.b.u.h.) sent by Allah before him, is

 

“You worship none save Him.” (Surah Yusuf: 40)

 

Which means that there is only one Sovereign to Whom you must be faithful, and that Sovereign is Almighty Allah, that there is one law which you should obey and that is the law of Allah and there is only One Being who should be worshipped and that Being is Almighty Allah.

The term Ibadat carries a wide meaning in Islam. It means to obey the laws of Allah at every step of life; to act in all matters in conformity with the mode laid down by Almighty Allah; to distinguish between Halal (lawful) and Haram (forbidden); and to abstain from lying, back-biting, slandering and passing sarcastic remarks, and like vices.

The fundamental and obligatory, ‘Ibadaat’ are included in the five Pillars of Islam. They are Salat (prayer) Saum (fasting) Hajj, and Zakat. The aim of these Ibadaat is in the reality to prepare a Muslim for that big Ibadat which he has to perform throughout his life in all conditions. Salat reminds us five times a day that we are slaves of Almighty Allah and to Him alone is due our servitude. Zakat repeatedly brings home to us the truth that the money we have earned is a gift of Almighty Allah and that we should not spend it on corporeal urges only, but render what is due to our Creator. Hajj makes a great impression of love and majesty of Allah on our hearts; if once this impression gets rooted, its effect will never abate during the whole life. Fasting is a source of piety and enables a man to acquire a pious life.

 

Ibn Umar reported that Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said, “Islam is built on five things, the bearing of witness that there is no god but Allah and that Mohammad is the messenger of Allah and that the keeping up of prayer and the payment of Zakat and the pilgrimage and fasting in Ramadan.”

 

It has been reported in Hadith-I-Jabrael that Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said that Islam is to witness that there is no god except Almighty Allah and that Mohammad is His messenger and that you should offer Prayer, pay zakat, keep fast and perform Hajj of the Holy Ka’aba, if you can afford.

                                               Title:     Of Truth
                                              Author: Francis Bacon
WHAT is truth? said jesting Pilate , and would not stay for an answer. Certainly there be, that delight in giddiness, and count it a bondage to fix a belief; affecting free-will in thinking, as well as in acting. And though the sects of philosophers of that kind be gone, yet there remain certain discoursing wits, which are of the same veins, though there be not so much blood in them, as was in those of the ancients. But it is not only the difficulty and labor, which men take in finding out of truth , nor again, that when it is found, it imposeth upon men's thoughts, that doth bring lies in favor; but a natural, though corrupt love, of the lie  itself. One of the later school of the Grecians, examineth the matter, and is at a stand, to think what should be in it, that men should love lies; where neither they make for pleasure, as with poets, nor for advantage, as with the merchant; but for the lie's sake. But I cannot tell; this same truth, is a naked, and open day-light, that doth not show the masks, and mummeries, and triumphs, of the world, half so stately and daintily as candle-lights. Truth may perhaps come to the price of a pearl, that showeth best by day; but it will not rise to the price of a diamond, or carbuncle, that showeth best in varied lights. A mixture of a lie doth ever add pleasure. Doth any man doubt, that if there were taken out of men's minds, vain opinions, flattering hopes, false valuations , imaginations as one would, and the like, but it would leave the minds, of a number of men, poor shrunken things, full of melancholy and indisposition, and unpleasing to themselves?
One of the fathers, in great severity, called poesy vinum daemonum, because it fireth the imagination; and yet, it is but with the shadow of a lie. But it is not the lie that passeth through the mind, but the lie that sinketh in, and settleth in it, that doth the hurt; such as we spake of before. But howsoever these things are thus in men's depraved judgments, and affections, yet truth, which only doth judge itself, teacheth that the inquiry of truth, which is the love-making, or wooing of it, the knowledge of truth, which is the presence of it, and the belief of truth, which is the enjoying of it, is the sovereign good of human nature. The first creature of God, in the works of the days, was the light of the sense; the last, was the light of reason; and his sabbath work ever since, is the illumination of his Spirit. First he breathed light, upon the face of the matter or chaos; then he breathed light, into the face of man; and still he breatheth and inspireth light, into the face of his chosen. The poet, that beautified the sect, that was otherwise inferior to the rest, saith yet excellently well: It is a pleasure, to stand upon the shore , and to see ships tossed upon the sea; a pleasure, to stand in the window of a castle, and to see a battle, and the adventures thereof below: but no pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage ground of truth  (a hill not to be commanded, and where the air is always clear and serene), and to see the errors, and wanderings, and mists, and tempests, in the vale below; so always that this prospect be with pity, and not with swelling, or pride. Certainly, it is heaven upon earth, to have a man's mind move in charity, rest in providence, and turn upon the poles of truth.

For Example:
The sects of philosophers of that kind be gone.

Answer
  That kind refers to “Jesting Pilate”


  1. which are of the same veins.
  2. One of the later school of the Grecians, examineth the matter.

  4. which only doth judge itself
  5. which is the enjoying of it

                                               Tim Plays Games at School

Some times when playing games Tim was amused at the different kinds of animal idioms that can be used when talking about a sporting event or game.  Tim knew that in all games you don't ever want to be accused of being a slug and that sometimes you had to bear down on your efforts or your goose is cooked.  Another way of saying this is if you don't try your best, you will probably lose.  He knew that horseplay is great fun on the playground, but not a good thing to do when playing a game.  He also knew that if you are playing dodge ball and you are the last player left on your team, that you are a sitting duck and that it might be a good idea to rabbit.
