Addressing the participants, the Founder and Patron-in-Chief of Minhaj-ul-Quran International Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri said that the Sunna and Hadith of the Holy Prophet (saw) were also the Divine revelation. So far as the Islamic laws are concerned, the Holy Qur’an and Hadith have the same status because the origin of both is the same i.e. Allah Almighty. But in terms of grade, the Holy Qur’an comes first followed by the Hadith of the Holy Prophet (saw), which is second. The Holy Qur’an is recited revelation, while the Hadith is unrecited revelation. Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran in Sura Najam:

In the first two sessions, Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri held an elaborate discussion on the topic of ‘Hadith and Sunna of the Holy Prophet (saw) and compilation of Hadith”. With the citation of dozens of the Qur’anic verses and hadiths, he proved that after a particular legal command has been established from the Prophetic traditions, if the condition of its establishment from the Holy Qur’an is imposed, it, in fact, constitutes the rejection of the saying of the Holy Prophet (saw). A person saying so cannot remain a Muslim.

He told with reference to the Prophetic traditions that the condition of getting the Qur’anic authority only is a rejection because if some command stands established from the Hadith, there is no need of its establishment from the Holy Qur’an anymore in the same manner as there is no need to check the validity of any command in the Hadith after its citation in the Holy Qur’an.

Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri said dissension and sectarianism have been ruling the roost in the name of secularism and modernity in the Muslim Umma and people having no grounding in the Hadith sciences were misleading the Umma by resorting to misinterpretation of Hadith.

Speaking on the subject of attributes of the Holy Prophet (saw), Shaykh-ul-Islam said that Allah Almighty adopted the way of mercy, not justice towards Muslim Umma for the reason that if a believer of the Muslim Umma entertains a mischief but does not implement it, Allah Almighty still rewards him for not choosing to act upon it and if he resolves to do some good, he stands rewarded for one time in case of only resolution and ten times if he implements it. The reason for this special favour is the intercession of the Holy Prophet (saw).

Citing various traditions from Bukhari and Muslim, Shaykh-ul-Islam held that Hajj takes place in Makkah but how come the protection of faith takes place in Madina? He explained this Hadith in great detail that when Islam would be shrunk to Makkah and Madina and the Dajjal would also reach there, faith would be protected by undertaking the journey to Madina, not Makkah because the security and stability of faith would be possible due to the person, and shrine of the Holy Prophet (saw).

Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri said that greatness and holiness of Madina owes itself to the person of the Holy Prophet (saw). Shaykh-ul-Islam referred to and interpreted such Prophetic traditions in which the Holy Prophet (saw) prayed to Allah for endowing more blessings and superiority to Madina in comparison to Makkah. He also made mention of the prayer of Hazrat Umer (ra) in which he prayed to Allah to give him death on His way and bless him with the honour of burial in the holy city of Madina.

Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri said that the Muslim Umma was in the abyss of political decline and moral degradation because it had broken with the source and origin of its inspiration i.e. the person of the Holy Prophet (saw). He urged the Umma to reconnect itself with him in order to regain their lost position. Shaykh Asad Saeed Sagharji and Shaykh Abdur Rehman of Syria, Shaykh Ahmad Dervaish of Egypt, Mufti Habeebullah of Bangladesh, Hafiz Nazir Ahmad Khan of Holland, Allama Noor Ahmad and Allama Sohail Saddique of Norway and many other scholars also spoke at the occasion.

Video : Understanding the Weak (Dhaeef) Hadith

sajid — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 06:38:43 +0000

The emergence of simplistic approaches in the Ummah has resulted in a desertion of sound scholarship and hence an abandonment of the cohesive understanding of the Ulema. One area significantly affected by this Fitna (tribulation) is the Hadith of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) along with its ancillary sciences. Many modern Muslims believe that the most cursory knowledge authorises them to attack Ahadith, by uncritically classifying them as ‘Weak’ (Da’if) or ‘Forged’ (Mawdu), merely because they are uncomplimentary to their doctrinal positions. In order to conclusively eliminate such obfuscations, Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, presents in this lecture, details of the differences of the authorities on this Subject. The Shaykh compares the Weak (Da’if) Hadith to an ill man. He states that in the same way we do not discard a sick person to the grave, we cannot discard a Da’if narration and equate it to a fabrication. The weaknesses of the Da’if Hadith are curable, much in the same way as the ailments of a sick man are. The Shaykh further highlights that there are 15 sub-categories of the Da’if Hadith of which only two are rejected by consensus. This lecture provides a means to protection from deviant beliefs, as well as a return to the wonderful principles of our scholars.
