English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abu Dharr and Mu`adh bin Jabal (May Allah be pleased with them) reported that: Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Fear Allah wherever you are, do good deeds after doing bad ones, the former will wipe out the latter, and behave decently towards people"
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith
#
1987].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah An-Nur Ayat 62."when they are with him on some common matter, they go not away until they have asked his permission" Virtue obliterates vice means that virtue becomes an atonement for sin. But this applies to minor sins only because major ones will not be forgiven without sincere repentance. Similar is the case of encroachment on public rights which will not be forgiven without their compensation.


English Translation of Al-Quran
[24].Surah An-Nur [The
Light]

Ayat 62. The true believers are only those, who believe in (the Oneness of) Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAWW(PBUH), and when they are with him on some common matter, they go not away until they have asked his permission. Verily! Those who ask your permission, those are they who (really) believe in Allah and His Messenger. So if they ask your permission for some affairs of theirs, give permission to whom you will of them, and ask Allah for their forgiveness. Truly, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
[Tafseer] of Ayat 62. Only those are believers, who believe in Allah and His Messenger. when they are with him on a matter requiring collective action, they do not depart until they have asked for his leave; those who ask for thy leave are those who believe in Allah and His Messenger. so when they ask for thy leave, for some business of theirs, give leave to those of them whom thou wilt, and ask Allah for their forgiveness: for Allah is Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful. Matter requiring collective action: anything that affects the Community as a whole: fumu’ah and ‘Id prayers are periodical occasions of this kind, but what is meant here is, I think, joint consultations with a view to joint undertakings, such as Jihad, or some kind of organization in peace. That is, those to whom, in the exercise of your impartial discretion, you think it expedient to give leave. "Will", unless the context shows otherwise, means "right will", not a will without any definite principle behind it. In important matters of general consultation, even though leave of absence is given on sufficient excuse, it implies some defect in duty on the part of the person to whom the leave is given, and therefore the need of forgiveness from Him to Whom we owe duty is a perfect measure.


English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Irbad bin Sariyah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: One day Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) delivered us a very eloquent Khutbah on account of which eyes shed tears and hearts were full of tears. A man said: "O Prophet of Allah, this is as if it were a parting advice. So advise us". He [SAWW](PBUH) said, "I admonish you to fear Allah, to listen and obey even if an Abyssinian slave is appointed as your leader. Because whosoever among you shall live after me, will see much discord. So hold fast to my Sunnah and the examples of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs who will come after me. Adhere to them and hold to it fast. Beware of new things (in Deen) because every Bid`ah is a misguidance".
[Abu Dawud Hadith # 4607 and At-Tirmidhi Hadith #
2676].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah An-Nur Ayat 64."And let those who oppose the Messenger’s (Muhammad SAWW(PBUH) commandment beware, lest some Fitnah. This Hadith stresses piety, obedience to the leader, following in the footsteps of the Prophet [SAWW](PBUH) and the first four noble caliphs. It strictly forbids innovation in Deen. This Hadith also reveals the prediction of the Prophet (PBUH) that the Muslim Ummah will become a victim of dissension. He also prescribed the right means to counteract it. The remedy that he has proposed for this problem is that Muslims should never deviate from the path laid for them by him and his righteous successors. This is the touchstone for discovering the truth from the mess of different views. All the troubles of Muslims would come to an end if they accept this as the one singular criterion of right and wrong.


English Translation of Al-Quran
[24].Surah An-Nur [The
Light]

Ayat 63. Make not the calling of the Messenger (Muhammad SAWW(PBUH) among you as your calling of one another. Allâh knows those of you who slip away under shelter (of some excuse without taking the permission to leave, from the Messenger SAWW(PBUH). And let those who oppose the Messenger’s (Muhammad SAWW(PBUH) commandment (i.e. his Sunnah legal ways, orders, acts of worship, statements, etc.) (among the sects) beware, lest some Fitnah (disbelief, trials, afflictions, earthquakes, killing, overpowered by a tyrant, etc.) befall them or a painful torment be inflicted on them.
[Tafseer] of Ayat 63. Deem not the summons of the Messenger SAWW(PBUH) among yourselves like the summons of one of you to another: Allah doth know those of you who slip away under shelter of some excuse: then let those beware who withstand the Messengers SAWW(PBUH) order, lest some trial befall them, or a grievous penalty be inflicted on them. Three significations are possible. One is that adopted in the Translation, which agrees with the view of most Commentators. Another would be: ‘Do not think that the prayer of the Prophet of Allah SAWW(PBUH) is like your ordinary requests to another: the Prophet’s SAWW(PBUH) prayer will be about serious matters and will be accepted by Allah.’ A third interpretation would be: ‘Do not address the Prophet SAWW(PBUH) familiarly as you would address one another: use proper terms of respect for him.’ The "trial" is understood to be some misfortune in this life, and the "grievous Penalty" to be the punishment in the Hereafter.

English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Verily, Allah elevates some people with this Qur’an and abases others.”
[Muslim
Book 04, Chapter 138, Hadith #
1780]

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah An-Nur Ayat 55. "Allah has promised those among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth" "Only such people will be elevated who act upon the teachings of the Qur’an and abstain from what is forbidden by Allah. The Muslims of the early centuries of Islam were blessed with great honour by Allah because they loved and applied the Qur’an. Because of this meaningful attachment with the Qur’an, they made great achievements in religious and worldly spheres. Those who neglected the teachings of Islam will be disgraced and humiliated. May Allah guide and enable us to re-establish our contact with the Qur’an so that we can regain our past glory. Exaltation and humiliation mentioned in the Hadith is bound to happen in both this life and the Hereafter.


English Translation of Al-Quran
[24].Surah An-Nur [The
Light]

Ayat 55. Allah has promised those among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth, as He granted it to those before them, and that He will grant them the authority to practice their religion, that which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islam). And He will surely give them in exchange a safe security after their fear (provided) they (believers) worship Me and do not associate anything (in worship) with Me. But whoever disbelieved after this, they are the Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah).

[Tafseer] of Ayat 55. Allah has promised, to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds, that He will, of asurety, grant them in the land, inheritance (of power), as Allah granted it to those before them; that Alalh will establish in authority their religion – the one which Allah has chosen for them; and that Allah will change (their state), after the fear in which they (lived), to one of security and peace: ´They will worship Allah (alone) and not associate aught with Allah. ´If any do reject Faith after this, they are rebellious and wicked. Three things are promised here, to those who have Faith and obey Allah’s Law: (1) that they will inherit power and authority on the land, not for any selfish purposes of theirs by way of favouritism, but in order that they may maintain Allah’s Law; (2) that the Religion of Right, which Allah has chosen for them, will be openly established, and will suppress all wrong and oppression; (3) that the righteous will live in peace and security, instead of having to suffer persecution, or leave their hearths and homes for the cause of Allah, or practise the rites of their Faith in secret. This verse was revealed about the time of the Battle of the Ditch (al Khandaq), also called the Battle of the Confederates ( al Ahzab), A.H. 4-5, we can imagine the comfort it gave to the Muslims who were besieged in Madinah by a force ten times their number. The Muslims then lived in a state of great suspense and danger, and under arms for days on end. (See 33:9-20). The security and authority they were promised came to them subsequently in abundant measures.


English Translation of Al-Quran
[24].Surah An-Nur [The

Ayat 56. And perform As­Salat (Iqamat­-as-­Salat), and give Zakat and obey the Messenger (Muhammad SAWW (PBUH) that you may receive mercy (from Allah).

[Tafseer] of Ayat 56. So establish regular Prayer and give regular Charity; and obey the Messenger SAWW (PBUH). that ye may receive mercy, the only way to please Allah (SWT) the way the companion of Prophet SAWW (PBUH) did every muslim must follow the Quran the Sunnah, Hadith.
