Learn Wisdom from the "Wise Reminder"

Learn Wisdom from the "Wise Reminder"

Allah describes the Qur’an as being wise: “This which We recite unto you is a revelation and a wise reminder.” [Sūrah Āl `Imrān: 58]; and: “(I swear) by the wise Qur’an” [Sūrah YāSīn: 2]

We can discern two reasons for this:

1. It is a manifestation of Allah's wisdom that He sent to us the teaching revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in the Qur’an.

2. The religious teachings that Allah has set forth for us in the Qur’an are full of wisdom.

The Wise Qur’an contains teachings that can help remedy many of the problems we face today, whether those problems are social, economic, or political. What the Qur’an provides us with are the general governing principles by which we will be rightly guided in all walks of life. However, not everyone will be equally effective in applying these general principles to their practical experience. For instance, scholars of Islamic jurisprudence study the Qur’an to derive from it legal principles and apply them to practical legal problems.

Virtues of Madinah

Virtues of Madinah

Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "Medina is a sanctuary from that place to that. Its trees should not be cut and no heresy should be innovated nor any sin should be committed in it, and whoever innovates in it an heresy or commits sins (bad deeds), then he will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people." Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 30 :: Hadith 91


Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "Verily, Belief returns and goes back to Medina as a snake returns and goes back to its hole (when in danger)." Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 30 :: Hadith 100

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet said, "There will be no town which Ad-Dajjal will not enter except Mecca and Medina, and there will be no entrance (road) (of both Mecca and Medina) but the angels will be standing in rows guarding it against him, and then Medina will shake with its inhabitants thrice (i.e. three earth-quakes will take place) and Allah will expel all the nonbelievers and the hypocrites from it."  Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 30 :: Hadith 105


Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "O Allah! Bestow on Medina twice the blessings You bestowed on Mecca." Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 30 :: Hadith 109

Knowledge in Islam

Knowledge in Islam 

 To what extent is Islam concerned with knowledge?

Praise be to Allaah. 

Allaah created man and provided him with the tools for acqruiring knowledge, namely hearing, sigh tand wisdom. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“And Allâh has brought you out from the wombs of your mothers while you know nothing. And He gave you hearing, sight, and hearts that you might give thanks (to Allâh)

[al-Nahl 16:78] 

Islam is the religion of knowledge.
