The Shaykh's comment on a pamphlet distributed on the streets.

The questioner : Our Shaykh, there are papers being distributed on the streets, and among them is this one which says that he saw the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).

The Shaykh : The Shaykh : Ahmad.

The questioner : Among them is a new paper we are seeing for the first time, and people are dealing with it. The writer, as you say, has written it in the style of private flight itineraries and converted it into religious aspects in his view. I mean, the one who prints it is rewarded for it in order to distribute good and so on. What is written? It is like a personal ID card, meaning your identity. It writes: Name: Human, son of Adam; Nationality: From dust; Address: Planet Earth. Then it moves to another box and says: Flight Information, and the flight is a happy one. It says: Departure station: This worldly life; Arrival station: The Hereafter; Takeoff time: ; Arrival time: . In the middle, in bold, it writes: Happy Flight, and it starts and says: It has a line and writes one, two, three, four. It writes: Allowed luggage: Two meters of white cloth and two threads; Good deeds: Three; A righteous child who prays for him: Four; Knowledge that is benefited from: Five; Nothing else is allowed to be carried on this flight. It says: Conditions of the happy flight: The honorable passengers must follow the instructions found in the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), for example, obeying Allah, loving Him, and fearing Him; The permanent ticket for death; Please note that in the Hereafter there is only Paradise or Hellfire, and that your food, drink, and clothing must be from what is lawful; For more information, please contact the Book and the Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); Note: The connection is direct and immediate, there is no need to confirm the booking; Excess weight: Allowed good deeds.

The Shaykh : ... , this is apparently artistic.

The questioner : ... more.

The Shaykh : It is good that there is nothing reprehensible in it ... because most of the pamphlets that are distributed contain either weak or fabricated hadiths and words that are not permissible to narrate, but this one is a new religious innovation.

The questioner : It is strange, our Shaykh, that all these authentic hadiths are in al-Bukhari and Muslim and others, yet it does not occur to anyone to write the hadiths of the morning and evening remembrances and so on from their source, so that the hadiths of Paradise and Hellfire are clarified. Instead, they resort to fabricated and weak hadiths, and warnings about leaving prayer, and all of them are hadiths ...

The Shaykh : Yes, the one who leaves prayer is cursed, his neighbor is cursed, and the one who eats with him is cursed, and I do not know what else, Allahu Akbar, they have made everyone cursed ... In reality, these people are not to be blamed, Abu 'Abdullah, because they are living in an atmosphere—I will not call it secular, but it is not scientific. I see how these sheikhs, preachers, and doctors, the doctors of the end times, do not understand and do not make the nation aware of this, so that they know what their religion is. I mean, now, two words without which one cannot be a Muslim: the Book and the Sunnah. You do not hear them on people's tongues, the Book and the Sunnah, "Allah said," "The Messenger of Allah said," except they say ...The Shaykh : ... so-and-so said, and so on, let alone that you hear about authentic hadiths and fabricated hadiths, and so on. So where are these people supposed to understand from? As soon as they stumble upon a hadith and they like the meaning, what usually delights the common people? It is the hadiths of encouragement and warning. Whenever there is something with encouragement and exaggeration in the encouragement, they find it a good hadith, and the opposite is the opposite, with severe warning, they find it ... From this ignorance of Islam, they launch and spread these hadiths. Because imagine now in society, this merchandise does not sell because there is correct awareness. As I remember in the occasion of the creed, and that Allah (Mighty and Majestic), in His attribute that He rose above the Throne, how a shepherdess was asked by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and she said: In the sky. Ask the doctors, sheikhs, and muftis today, and you will come down and they will tell you: Allah is everywhere. What is the reason? The reason is that that shepherdess, as they say in modern expression today, graduated from the school of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him); whereas these scholars, meaning the mufti and others, graduated from the school of Kalam (theology). So it is no surprise that pamphlets other than this one are distributed, of course; because this one contains nothing but a reminder of what is agreed upon by all Muslims. But those pamphlets are full of weak and fabricated hadiths. They are not to be blamed; the guides are to be blamed, those who did not make this people aware that they should not transmit any hadith until they verify its authenticity. But the problem will return in another form: who are they supposed to ask to know its authenticity? There is no one to ask, that is the problem. Here it is written as a correction: "Let others take a lesson from it." Here there is an error; it should be "Let others take a lesson from it" instead of "and the others, the others." This is from Abu Ahmad.

The questioner : No, Abu Ahmad has a jilbab ...
