In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Roots of Downfall of Ummat-e-Ibrahim
By Irshad Mahmood – Director, Siraat-al-Mustaqeem Dawah Centre

Leaving the Quraan BUT Giving Preferences to others:

Leaving the Quraan BUT Giving Preferences to others could be the real cause of Downfall of Ummat-e-Ibrahim. The Quraan is a Crystal Clear GUIDANCE for living Mankind and to understand a Crystal Clear GUIDANCE, you don’t need any other GUIDANCE, (Ref: Al_Quraan_002:002, 002:185, 003:096, 003:138, 004:105, 004:174, 006:155, 010:037, 014:001, 014:005, 016:064, 016:089, 017:009, 021:010, 026:002, 038:029, 039:041) e.g. to see Sun you don't need any other Torchlight. But to understand Hadeeth or any other books than the Quran you really need the Quraan. The Quraan is the TRUE Book of Guidance. The Quraan is full of Wisdom, (Ref: Al_Quraan_036.002). The Quraan is Free from any Error or Contradictions and is Fully Protected by Allah, But Hadeeth is not Free from any Error or Contradictions and is Not Protected by Allah. Remember: Allah is One <---> the Quraan is One <---> Siraat_ul_Mustaqeem is One, One Ummat-e-Ibrahim <---> One Voice <---> One Worshipping Method.

May Allah open the eyes of Ummat-e-Ibrahim from inside their hearts, May Allah open the ears of Ummat-e-Ibrahim from inside their hearts, May Allah help Ummat-e-Ibrahim to understand and practice Deen of Allah PRECISELY and PERFECTLY, AMEEN.

Let us not be like those who listen but actually listen not and read but actually read not. In reality, they don’t want to understand. Allah has already named them as Blind, Deaf and Dumb, (Ref: Al_Quraan_002.018). May Allah protect us from all kinds of Blindness, Deafness and Dumbness, AMEEN.

He sent down to you this scripture, containing straightforward verses - which constitute the essence of the scripture - as well as multiple-meaning or allegorical verses. Those who harbor doubts in their hearts will pursue the multiple-meaning verses to create confusion, and to extricate a certain meaning. NONE knows the TRUE MEANING thereof except Allah and those well founded in knowledge. They say, "We believe in this - all of it comes from our Lord." Only those who possess intelligence will take heed, (Al_Quraan_003.007).

We are NOT supposed to take Allegorical Ayaat, so just FOLLOW only the CLEAR Ayaat of the Quraan and BE CAREFUL from Allegorical Ayaat.

In the Quraan Allah has told us that “… This day have I perfected your Religion for you and completed My FAVOR unto you, and have chosen for you as religion AL-ISLAAM (Deen-e-Ibrahim)”, (Ref: Al_Quraan_005.003).

If anything is completed, does it NEED any Additions or Subtractions or Alterations? The absolute answer to this is only and only NO. Therefore any Hadeeth contradicting the Quraan, we are not supposed to accept and those are NOT Authentic Hadeeth. Since Rasool Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) already warned about the spreading of Hadeeth and how to verify them. So We all must have to follow that and a single proof should be enough for this that there are some Poor Hadeeth and we need to test all of them according to the Quraan. The Quraan is the real Authentic Source, FREE from and ERROR or CONTRADICTION.

How Ummat-e-Ibrahim Diverted from the Quraan and Trapped in Conspiracy?

In the struggle for power and domination the Quraan had been the biggest challenge to the Hypocrites. Although, they could not stop Ummat-e-Ibrahim from obedience of the Quraan BUT they succeeded in giving them very wrong concepts about it. That was a great conspiracy which took them three centuries to establish false beliefs and practices among the Ummat-e-Ibrahim. These beliefs and practices are now falsely included into the Book of Hadeeth or Book of Sunnah of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him).

During the life time of the Prophet and his companion, it was impossible to say anything against the Quraan but after them there was no check. The Hypocrites had flooded the Ummat-e-Ibrahim’s world with LIES and fabrications against the Quraan. If anyone questioned that such and such belief or practice is against the Quraan the reply had always been, like today, that this is Sunnah of the Prophet. This way the Hypocrites took away the Quraan from Ummat-e-Ibrahim and succeeded in inflicting upon them an ignominious life.

Now, what happens they read lot of the Quraan but for Thawab only and not for the Guidance. They establish prayers but to worship God - not to combat Fohsha wal Munkarat. They pay regular charity but to purify the wealth - not for its circulation among all classes in the society. And, when you ask them why they are doing this?  Everyone will reply this is Sunnah of the Prophet (). And if asked who told this is Sunnah? They will name anyone from among the Companions who lived during the first century - for example, Omer (ra) or Aisha (ra) reported this and that. When asked who told this? They will name anyone from Taabe'heen or Tabb'a Taabe'heen who lived during the second century. When asked further they will ultimately confess that all this stuff came to us through Bukhari and other Mohaditheen who lived during the third century.

In other words, the Ummat-e-Ibrhaim is trapped in a great conspiracy. They are deceived to follow the path which is not found in the Quraan. They think they are treading into the footsteps of the Prophets but, in fact, they are treading into the footsteps of Shaitaan. The interesting aspect of this conspiracy is that no one feels guilty. In spite of, all the sufferings and humiliations they are proud of what they are doing in the name of the Prophets and Religion. No one likes to come out of this darkness. And, if any blessed soul endeavors to show them the right path they consider him an agent of the Enemy of Deen-e-Ibrahim. One wonders! What else the Enemy of Deen-e-Ibrahim want to do with the Ummat-e-Ibrahim? They had already sent them to the bottom of hell.

The truth is that the real source of Ummat-e-Ibrahim’s unity and honor was the Quraan. The Prophet (Peace-Be-Upon-him) and his great companions followed nothing except the Quraan. They never looked for guidance to any other historical or ideological source. They were solely inspired and motivated by the Quraan. When the Prophet (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) was alive and his life was the perfect embodiment of Quraanic Values. After his (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) death, Ummat-e-Inrahim kept treading in his footsteps and followed the Quraan with more zeal and devotion. The Quraan elevated them to the highest level of morality and wisdom. They achieved great success and honor in the contemporary world and remained dominant as long as they followed the Quraan.

Following Clear Ayaat - or - Allegorical Ayaat:

He sent down to you this scripture, containing straightforward verses - which constitute the essence of the scripture - as well as multiple-meaning or allegorical verses. Those who harbor doubts in their hearts will pursue the multiple-meaning verses to create confusion, and to extricate a certain meaning. NONE knows the TRUE MEANING thereof except Allah and those well founded in knowledge. They say, "We believe in this - all of it comes from our Lord." Only those who possess intelligence will take heed, (Al_Quraan_003.007).

We are NOT supposed to take Allegorical Ayaat, so just FOLLOW only the CLEAR Ayaat of the Quraan and BE CAREFUL from Allegorical Ayaat.

Making joke of Ayaat of Allah:

He has already revealed unto you in the Scripture that, when you hear the revelations of Allah rejected and derided, (you) sit not with them (who disbelieve and mock) until they engage in some other conversation. Lo! In that case (if you stayed) you would be like unto them. Lo! Allah will gather hypocrites and disbelievers, all together, into hell, (Al_Quraan_004.140).

We are not supposed to even sit with those people who are making joke/fun of Ayaat of Allah till they change the Topic.

Making Joke of Others:

O you who believe! Let not men laugh at other men perchance they may be better than they, nor let women (laugh) at (other) women, perchance they may be better than they; and do not find fault with your own people nor call one another by nicknames; evil is a bad name after faith, and whoever does not turn, these it is that are the unjust, (Al_Quraan_049.011).

The Cause and Effects are interrelated. Just trying to fix the effect, without knowing the cause of it may not help to resolve the issues. First we need to find out the real cause, which in major cases are the roots of destruction. We need to find out the Responsibilities of Rasool Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) as well. To resolve the issues of the Downfall of Ummat-e-Ibrahim we need to find out the Roots. Here I would like to give an example of a Coconut Tree.
 
A Coconut Tree may never give you Coconut Water and its food, till you start taking care of it as it should be. The main treatment you need for the Coconut Tree to get the Coconut Water and its food is, you need to do a special treatment in its roots, which is very necessary, and its specialist knows what treatment and how to do that. Additionally you need to keep cleaning up all the dead leafs, which is not very necessary but is very helpful.
 
To find out the real roots of the Downfall of Ummat-e-Ibrahim we need to reanalyze all the things, like the Quraan, the Hadeeths, the saying of Scholars and the History etc.

Analysis of the Quraan:

The Quraan is the real book of guidance (Ref: Al_Quraan_002.002) and is protected by Allah (Ref: Al_Quraan_005.003) and the Quraan will surely help to find the major issues of the Downfall of Ummat-e-Ibrahim if we try to find it sincerely.

Analysis of the Hadeeths:

To analyze the Hadeeth we also need to see Ummat-e-Ibrahim History, with open eyes from inside our heart. Please also read my article on “The Truth about Hadeeths” for additional information.

•    Rasool Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) was born in around year 570 AD.

•    Rasool Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) got the prophecy and became the last and final prophet in around year 610 AD.

•    Rasool Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) passed away in around year 632 AD.

•    The Hadeeth was first compiled around 250 years after Rasool Allah (Peace Be Upon Him), which is around year 900 AD.

•    Was it possible that some group of Hypocrites (Munafiqs) from the East, the West, the North and the South of Arabia united together and tried to include fabricated Hadeeths, which could have been misleading the Ummat-e-Ibrahim? Yes of course. Even at the time of Rasool Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) they demanded to change the Ayaat of the Quraan, which Rasool Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) answered that he didn’t have any authority to do that (Ref: Al_Quraan_010.015 – 016). There is no doubt that this thing might have been happening before and the proof was that out of the seventeen books of the Hadeeth only seven were accepted by our religious scholars, i.e. more than 50% were rejected initially.

•    Is it possible that still in the seven accepted books of the Hadeeth there might have been fabricated Hadeeth? Yes off course. Cause and effects are interrelated and you can see how much we Ummat-e-Ibrahim are divided. Also there are many Hadeeths, which are contradicting the Quraan.

•    Allah told us to do research and think about the Quraan, (Ref: Al_Quraan_003.169, 004.083). What about the Hadeeth? Is it enough to just believe on the Hadeeth Blindly?

•    Rasool Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) already warned his people that there will be Hadeeth coming after me, so accept them if they are according to the Quraan, otherwise reject them (Sanan Dar Qatni, Vol-2, Book – Imrani Abee Musa, Matba Farooqi – 513). So we need to test every Hadeeth, don’t reject all Blindly and don’t accept all Blindly as well, BUT do research and if it is according to the Quraan only then accept it. The Quraan is the main source and guidance to all human beings.

•    Because of poor communication, knowledge was not getting transferred as quickly as now.

•    Ummat-e-Ibrahim were getting successes before the year 900 AD.

•    After the year 900 AD, Ummat-e-Ibrahim started getting a down fall BUT it took several hundred years just to feel the downfall, since Ummat-e-Ibrahim were still succeeding. Possibly after leaving the Quraan behind and taking the Hadeeth as number one, they started to fail more deliberately.

•    After the year 1500 AD, it seems that Ummat-e-Ibrahim went beyond the limit and started taking the Scholars as number one, the Hadeeth as number two and the Quraan they left behind. As you can see after that Ummat-e-Ibrahim started losing all over the world.

Did Salaah/Prayers Reduced to 5 times?

There is no doubt that Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) went on Isra and Miraaj up to heaven (SIDRA-TUL-MUNTAHA) etc. and are truly according to the Quraan Surah Al-Isra 017 & Surah An-Najam 053 and Authentic Hadeeth. Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) seen many signs there during this journey. However regarding Salah we need to re-analyze in detail, and perhaps it may help Ummah to open their eyes and return towards the Quraan in Spirit.

50 times Salaah/Prayers mean praying two times every hour without sleep. Allocating an average of 15 minutes to each prayer including ablution/wazu would mean spending 12.5 hours a day in Masjids or on Musaallah.

Do simple math:  50 times x 15 minutes = 750 minutes = 12.5 hours = 12 hours and 30 minutes, which means NO time for Work/Jihaad and NO time for cooking just Pray, eat RAW fruits/vegetables/grains/meat/fish etc. in 3.5 hours a day and sleep 8 hours since it is body requirements for general people.
Calculation for Pray + Eat + Sleep will be, 12.5 + 3.5 + 8 = 24 hours.

One might raise question that Allah who created human doesn’t know that they cannot offer more than 5 times a day, BUT Prophet Musa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) who was not alive at the time of Isra and Miraaj know human better than Allah, Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah & Astaghfirullah again. A true Quraanic Muslim cannot believe that. Allah’s commandments do not change once revealed and Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) don’t have authority to change it. Remember: Allah’s Words are FINAL. As per Quraan Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) cannot make those people listen who had passed away which includes all human including Prophets and Messengers since the time of Adam till before him. We are following Deen-e-Ibrahim which had 5 time Salaah/Prayers since Allah commanded Prophet Ibrahim (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) and Prophet Ismail (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) to build Kabaa for Salaah/Prayers and Tawaf etc. Do little sample test on reducing 50 times to 5 times.

Step-1> Got 50 times Salaah per day BUT objected by Prophet Musa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him), so returned back to Allah
Step-2> Reduced to 49 times Salaah per day BUT objected by Prophet Musa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him), so returned back to Allah
Step-3> Reduced to 48 times Salaah per day BUT objected by Prophet Musa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him), so returned back to Allah
Step-4> Reduced to 47 times Salaah per day BUT objected by Prophet Musa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him), so returned back to Allah
Step-5> Reduced to 45 times Salaah per day BUT objected by Prophet Musa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him), so returned back to Allah
--------------
--------------
Step-46> Finally it is reduced to 5 times Salaah/Prayers per day BUT objected by Prophet Musa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) again, but Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) felt ashamed to returned back to Allah for further reduction to 3 times Salaah/Prayers per day, so we got 5 times Salaah/Prayers per day.

Here in this sample test one might raise questions: Was it a fun/joke between Allah and Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him)? Was Prophet Musa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) had more knowledge than Allah even in his Grave for several thousand years after his death? What we want to teach Muslim Ummah with this type of misconceptions?

Be in the MIDDLE and Categorize the Hadeeth:

Rasool Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) already warned about coming of Hadeeths after him and set the CRITERIA on how to verify them, which allows us to live in the MIDDLE without extremism.

Ali (RA) narrated, Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said, there is NO DOUBT that, there will be Hadeeths coming after me, claiming that I have said those. So you MUST test each and every Hadeeth from the QURAAN. If it is really according to the QURAAN only then accept it otherwise reject it. (Sanan Dar Qatni, Vol-2, Book – Imrani Abee Musa, Matba Farooqi – 513)

Then WHY don't you Reject all those Hadeeths which REALLY contradict the Quraan and its Basic Principles, since Rasool Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) already told to do so, are you rejecting Rasool Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) this Authentic Hadeeth by accepting all Hadeeths BLINDLY, which Contradicts the Quraan.

We have Revealed the Book to you explaining EVERYTHING (Not Missing anything, what we really need to understand and follow Deen), and a Guidance and Mercy and Good News for those who submit, (Ref: Al_Quraan_016.089).

Why Az-Zubair (RA) were NOT saying ANY single narrations:

Narrated By 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair (RA): I said to my father, 'I do not hear from you any (single) narration (Hadith) of Allah's Apostle as I hear (his narrations) from so and so? " Az-Zubair (RA) replied. I was ALWAYS with him (the Prophet {Peace-Be-Upon-Him}) and I heard him saying "Whoever tells a lie against me (intentionally) then (surely) let him occupy, his seat in Hell-fire. (Sahi-Bukhari_Vol-1_Book-3_Hadeeth-107)

Few Contradictions between the concept of the Quraan and the Hadeeth:

Two lives and two deaths:

The Quraan gives the concept of two lives and two deaths (Ref: Al_Quraan_002.028), while the Hadeeth gives the concept of three lives and three deaths. To get punishment there must be a body, which includes the soul. It is the Skin, which lets you know the pain (Ref: Al_Quraan_004.056). In the case of the Grave we don’t have a soul and slowly many parts of our body dissolve into the Earth. The Quraan says about the Grave as it is a barrier not the place of punishment (Ref: Al_Quraan_023.099-100). It is the process to unite previous people with the present people and the future people (Ref: Al_Quraan_077.038). For further detail, please read my article on “Punishment in the Grave”.

Reciting Kalimah only:

The Hadeeth says, just by reciting Kalimah, you will enter the heavens, even after getting punishment. The concept of the Quraan is different. The Quraan gives the concept of converting finite systems to infinite systems. Keep yourselves far away from Great sins, your minor sins will be forgiven and you will enter into heaven forever, (Ref: Al_Quraan_004.031). There is no concept of moving from Heaven to Hell or Hell to heaven according to the Quraan. The Quraan gives the concept of forever. Those who will enter into Heaven, they will abide there forever and those who will enter into hell, they will abide there forever. You cannot divide infinite numbers by any finite numbers.

Future and Unseen:

Rasool Allah said he doesn’t know about the future, even he didn’t know when and where he would be dying and it is also mentioned in the Quraan (Ref: Al_Quraan_006.050, 031.034).

Eclipse:

Solar or Lunar Eclipse, a sign of coming of Imaam Mahdi, or Jesus () or Dajjaal or it is their regular cycles. People were saying about relations between the solar eclipse and the death of son of Rasool Allah (Peace Be Upon Him). But Rasool Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) denied and explained to them that there is no relationship between them Narrated by Al-Mughira bin Shu’ba; Vol-002, Book-018, Hadeeth-0153 of Sahih Bukhari. Generally people talk without knowledge and don’t want to learn as well.

Here I gave few examples just to let you know that whenever you read the Quraan try to understand its concept as well, BUT whenever you read the Hadeeth, test it from the Quraan and if it is really according to the Quraan only then accept it, otherwise, reject it. For further references please read my article on “The Truth about Hadeeth”.

To get Success Leave the Foretell behind and Start Helping Allah:

O you who believe! Strong Drink (Intoxicants), gambling, idols and divining arrows are only an infamy of Satan’s handiwork. Leave it aside in order that you may succeed, [Al_Quraan_005.090].

Help Allah to get Help from Allah:

O you who believe! If you will Help Allah, He will Help you, and plant your feet firmly, (Al_Quraan_047.007).

If you Really Love Allah, You will sincerely Obey Allah.

Either you Love Allah or You Love Shaitaan:

At least you can establish Allah’s Laws in your home.

At least you can turn all your audios & videos into Quraanic Education System.

I am a human and may make mistakes after mistakes and may be wrong in understanding the Quraan and the Hadeeth. So Please don’t take my words as final and please let me know where I am wrong. Take your time to understand the Quraan and Real Authentic Hadeeth. May Allah help us to understand and practice the Quraan and the Authentic Hadeeth Perfectly and Precisely, AMEEN.

Is reciting of some Suraahs (Chapters) gives multiple rewards than other Suraahs (Chapters):

It is my personal observation, so please don't take it serious. People from Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, believe that according to the Authentic Ahadeeth, some Suraahs (Chapters) gives multiple rewards than other Suraahs (Chapters). So they keep reciting those Surashs (Chapters) multiple times AND neglecting reciting the Quraan with understanding the whole year. When Ramadaan comes, they recite the Quraan again without understanding, once a year. This way they are far behind for understanding the Quraan, so far behind from practicing it completely and so far behind from its real and complete benefits. Nowhere in the Quraan say any verse of any chapter of the Quraan more important than others, rather each and every verse of the Quraan is equally important and we must understand the Quraan in sprit.

Will reciting Suraah Al_Kahf protect us from Dajjaa:

Saving a Life is like Saving the Whole World, (Ref. Al_Quraan_005.032).

Nowhere in the Quraan including Suraah Al_Kahf (Chapter-018) says that reciting Suraah Al_Kahf will protect Ummah from Dajaal and its forces. Instead it says about prepare yourself to defend or avoiding from such conflicts, migrate if possible. Even Rasool Allah (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) did migrated from the Holy Makkah al-Mukarramah ( مكة المكرمة) to Madina and left Kabaa, the most sacred place on the whole Earth, forever and never ever think to go back to Makkah al-Mukarramah ( مكة المكرمة) and re-settle there.

Never ever think to do suicide:

O you who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves in vanities: But let there be amongst you Traffic and trade by mutual good-will: Nor kill (or destroy) yourselves: for verily Allah hath been to you Most Merciful, (Al_Quraan_004:029).

To protect from Shaitaan and his evils, recite Suraah AL-FALAQ (Chapter-113) and Suraah AN-NAS (Chapter-114) in Arabic as well as understand its meaning.

Life is a lot more important than Land:

Lo! Those who believed and left their homes and strove with their wealth and their lives for the cause of Allah, and those who took them in and helped them; these are protecting friends one of another. And those who believed BUT did NOT leave their homes, ye have NO duty to protect them TILL they leave their homes; but if they seek help from you in the matter of religion (NOT for Land) then it is your duty to help (them) except against a folk between whom and you there is a treaty. Allah is Seer of what ye do. And those who disbelieve are protectors one of another If you do not so, there will be confusion in the land, and great corruption, (Al_Quraan_008.072-073).

We need to give immigrations to all those Muslims only who are in Non-Muslim Countries and are not allowed to worship and having hardship.

When angels take the souls of those who die in sin against their souls, they say: "In what (plight) were you?" They reply: "Weak and oppressed were we in the earth." They say: "Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to move yourselves away (From evil)?" Such men will find their abode in Hell, What an evil refuge, (Al_Quraan_004.097).

O my bondmen who believe! Lo! My earth is spacious. Therefore serve Me only. How many are the creatures that carry not their own sustenance, (Al_Quraan_029.052-063)?

(If Disbelievers stops you from offering Prayers then migrate, Allah’s earth is spacious. Do not worry about sustenance (RIZK). Now let us see how Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) implemented this. As you know Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) migrated from Makkah al-Mukarramah ( مكة المكرمة) to Madina and NEVER ever think to return. This is the Great secret of migration, so Allah has given such a great reward by turning Makkah al-Mukarramah ( مكة المكرمة) into the center place for all Muslims. In brief there is NO fighting for LAND).

Don’t waste your time in Foretelling and just do what Allah has commanded.

We Already have One living Miracles, the Quraan with us. Allah’s Favor has already been completed on us.

None argue concerning the revelations (Ayaat) of Allah BUT those who Disbelieves ..., (Al_Quraan_040.004).

Those who don’t read the Quraan with understanding/translation and do not Practice on Allah’s commandments are like ASS/Donkey carrying books, (Ref: Al_Quraan_062.005).

Allah never destroys any good nation, (Ref: Al_Quraan_011.116-117).

Hypocrites Read the Quraan BUT Practices Something Else.

Non-Practicing Muslims are like ASS / Donkey carrying books, (Ref: Al_Quraan_062.005).

IF QURAAN CANNOT CONVINCE YOU NOTHING WILL, (Ref: Al_Quraan_004:087, 007:185, 039:023, 052:033-034, 053:056-059, 056:075-082, 068:044, 077:050).

Read Al-Quraan, the Miracle of Miracles and free from contradictions and errors
