Modesty!! Is Always Beautiful

By: Maulana Ilyaas Patel Sahib

Once upon a time …. there existed a society

that possessed true values. Among them lived the

ueen o! "annah# the most beloved daughter o!

$a%rat &asulullah 'Sallallahu Alaihi (asallam)#

Sayyidah *aatimah '&a%iyallahu Anha). +i,e the rest

o! the society o! that era# she too possessed all the

great -ualities o! a-/a# humility# generosity#!orgiveness# Sabr# tolerance and all the 0e/els and

adornments o! the heart. Among these spectacular

-ualities /as the priceless pearl o! Hayaa

'modesty1shame). Sayyidah *aatimah '&a%iyallahu

Anha) /as an embodiment o! Hayaa. he!ollo/ing incident highlights the level o! $ayaa that

she possessed.

BEST FOR A WOMAN

Once $a%rat &asulullah 'Sallallahu Alaihi(asallam) as,ed the Sahaabah '&a%iyallahu Anhum):

“What is the best quality of a woa"#

Since the -uestion pertained to /omen# the

8/18/2019 April 2016 An-Noor

2/33


Sahaabah '&a%iyallahu Anhum) remained silent and

did not give any ans/er. +ater $a%rat Ali

'&a%iyallahu Anhu) came home and posed the same

-uestion that $a%rat &asulullah 'Sallallahu Alaihi

(asallam) had as,ed them to his /i!e Sayyidah

*aatimah '&a%iyallahu Anha). She spontaneously

replied:

“Why did you ot $e%ly &that the best

quality of a woa' is that she does

ot see ay &o(Mah$a' e ad

$a%rat Ali '&a%iyallahu Anhu) relayed her replyto $a%rat &asulullah 'Sallallahu Alaihi (asallam)# upon

/hich he replied in great 0oy:

“Faatiah is a %a$t of e &he+e she

)a-e su+h a wode$ful ad %e$fe+t

$e%ly!!!'#

Sayyidah *aatimah '&a%iyallahu Anha) regarded

$ayaa 'modesty1shame) as among the most

8/18/2019 April 2016 An-Noor

3/33


valuable and precious possession o! a /oman. She

could not tolerate anything that /ill compromise

$ayaa. $ence she could not imagine anything

better !or a /oman than to ensure that no non2

Mahram ever sets his eyes on her# nor should she

ever see a non2Mahram# as both these aspects /ill

tarnish and a!!ect the $ayaa o! a /oman. I! this is

the e!!ect o! merely being seen by a non2Mahram#

one can easily understand the extent to /hich

$ayaa /ill deteriorate or even be destroyed in

!reely associating and inter mingling /ith non2

Mahrams333

Sayyidah *aatimah '&a%iyallahu Anha) lived

/ith this priceless 0e/el o! $ayaa and passed a/ay

/ith it. 4uring her last illness# she /as suddenly

gripped by a great /orry. It /orried her that a!ter

a deceased person is /ashed and then !ully/rapped in the ,a!n 'shroud)# some aspects o! the

body can still be perceived despite the shroud#

such as one5s height# ho/ healthy or thin a person

is# etc. It tormented her that these aspects o! her

physical sel! may be perceived by those /ho /ill

per!orm her "ana%ah2Salaah and bury her. She

expressed this !ear to $a%rat Asmaa bint 6mais

'&a%iyallahu Anha)# the /i!e o! $a%rat Abu Ba,r

'&a%iyallahu Anhu). $a%rat Asmaa bint 6mais

8/18/2019 April 2016 An-Noor

4/33


'&a%iyallahu Anha) suggested that a little /ooden

7!rame8 be placed over her "ana%ah and a cloth be

draped over it so that the Mayyit under the

7!rame8 /ill be completely concealed. $a%rat

Asmaa '&a%iyallahu Anha) then as,ed !or some stic,s

and made a sample o! the structure. Sayyidah

*aatimah '&a%iyallahu Anha) became very pleased

upon this. In the six months that she lived since

the demise o! $a%rat &asulullah 'Sallallahu Alaihi

(asallam)# this /as the only occasion she smiled.

She /as over0oyed that her very high level o!

$ayaa /ill not be compromised even a!ter death.

.A/ OF 0I/AAMAH

hose /omen /ho /ish to stand alongside

Sayyidah *aatimah '&a%iyallahu Anha) on the day o!

iyaamah and hope to receive her intercession

should re!lect on their dressing and consciousness

o! the la/s o! Hi1aab. hey should endeavour to

/al, in the !ootsteps o! the ueen o! "annah.

Insha2Allahu a5aala they too /ill then enter

"annah /ith her. May Allah a5ala embed Hayaa inthe veins o! the 6mmat o! Seal o! the Prophets

TAFSEER( C o m m e n t a r y o f t h e H o l y

Q u r ’ a n )By: Hazrat Maulana Mufti Muhammad Shafi Sahib (Rahmatullahi Alaihi)

SURAH AL-BAQARAHNote: This part of Tafseer is the remaining portion of Surah Al-Baqarah Tafseer and hence connected withthe previous chapter of Surah Al-Baqarah Tafseer.

Kinds of magic

In his 7Mu!radaat al2ur5an8# Imam &aaghib

al2Is!ahaani says that there are several ,inds o!

magic. *irstly# there are sleights o! hand# li,e

those o! 0ugglers# /hich deceive the eyes o! the

onloo,ers# but have no !urther substance. hen#there are /ays o! in!luencing the imagination o!

others through the concentration o! one5s o/n

po/ers o! thought so that they begin to see or !eel

things /hich do not really exist as happens in

mesmerism or hypnotism. Such a result is

sometimes obtained /ith the help o! the devils

'Shayaateen) too. In spea,ing o! the magicians o!

the Pharaoh# the $oly ur5an says:

8/18/2019 April 2016 An-Noor

6/33


“They +ast a s%ell o the eyes of the %eo%le2 &32445'

Or# in another place:

“Th$ou)h thei$ a)i+ Moses +ae to thi6 that

they &$o%es tu$ed ito se$%ets' we$e $ui)

about2 &78255'

Obviously# this piece o! magic had to do /ith

in!luencing o! the imagination. he second o! these

verses employs a verb /hich has the same root asthe noun 9hayaal 'thought)# and hence clearly

states that the ropes and the /ands cast do/n by

the magicians had neither turned serpents nor

made by any movement# but the imagination o!

Sayyidna Musaa 'Alaihis2Salaam) had been a!!ected

so as to see them running about in the shape o!

serpents. he $oly ur5an also indicates the other

/ay o! in!luencing men5s imaginations /hich

involves the help o! devils 'Shayaateen):

8/18/2019 April 2016 An-Noor

7/33


Shall I tell you o who the de-ils des+ed"

They des+ed o all those who a$e slade$e$s

ad sie$s*# &752777'

Still another ,ind o! magic is that /hich can

change the very nature o! a thing !or example#

turning a man into a beast or into a stone.

Scholars li,e Imam &aghib al2Is!ahani and Abu2

Ba,r al2"assaas deny that magic can totally

change the nature o! a thing# but con!ine the

e!!icacy o! magic only to in!luencing the

imagination and to deceiving the eyes o! the

onloo,ers. his is also /hat the Mu5ta%ilah thought

o! the matter. But most o! the scholars hold that

neither the Shari5ah nor any rational argument!orbids the possibility o! trans2substantiation or

the changing o! one thing into another# li,e a living

body turning into a stone. As !or the /ell2,no/n

principle o! the classical philosophers that the

change o! the 7essences8 '$a-aai-) is not

possible# it concerns the essences o! the three

categories the Impossible# the Possible and the

;ecessary 22# !or# rationally spea,ing# it 0ust

cannot be that something impossible should

become possible# or that something possible

should become impossible. And as to the $oly

ur5an putting do/n the magic o! the

8/18/2019 April 2016 An-Noor

8/33

! April 2016 Jamadiuth-Thani 1437

the imagination. Moreover# certain scholars have

seen an argument in !avour o! the possibility o!

trans2substantiation through magic in a saying o!

Mu/atta on the authority o! a5-a Ibn $aa,im

mounted his Buraa-# seated the young Ma5ad bin
