SALAAT-UL-HAAJAT: 

THE PRAYER OF NEED DU’A AND HOW TO PERFORM SALATUL HAJAH

Salaatul Haajat, also written as Salaatul Haajat, is the prayer of need. It is usually recited to Allah to help those with some pressing needs. This prayer helps in improving the spiritual well-being, mental health and physical health of a person.

Reciting this prayer on time ensures that one is guided by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala

What is the meaning of Salatul Hajat?

The literal meaning of the word Haajat is to wish. Salaatul Haajat has 2 rakats prayers that are offered to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala 

What is the purpose of Salaatul Haajat?

The purpose of Salaatul Haajat is that emphasize your prayer and ensure that it goes to heaven, known as jannah in Islam, the best creation of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala.

What is the best time to pray Salatul Hajat?

This Salaat can be performed any time of the day, however the best prescribed time for this dua is during the final third part of the night. It is generally considered as a du’a to be said after the Witr namaz.

Salaatul Haajat Du’a

The du’a that is said in Salaatul Haajat is a salat for need. Regarding Salaatul Haajat du’a, Abdullah ibn Abi Awfa narrates:

The Messenger of Allah said, “Whoever has a need with Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala, or with any human being, then let them perform ritual ablutions and then pray two rakats. After that, let them praise Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala and send blessings (Durood) on the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)The dua in Arabic with pronunciation guide:

لا إِلَهَ إلاَّ اللهُ الحَلِيمُ الكَرِيمُ، سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ العَظِيمِ ، الحَمْدُ لِلهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِيْنَ ، أَسْأَلُكَ مُوجِبَاتِ رَحْمَتِكَ ، وَعَزَائِمَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ ، وَالْغَنِيمَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ بِرّ،ٍ وَالسَّلامَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ إِثْمٍ ،لاَ تَدَعْ لِيْ ذَنْباً إِلاَّ غَفَرْتَهُ، وَلاَ هَمَّاً إِلاَّ فَرَّجْتَهُ، وَلاَ حَاجَةً هِيَ لَكَ رِضاً إِلاَّ قَضَيتَهَا يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ

Laaa ilaaha illallaa-hul-Haleemul Kareem. Subhaanallahi Rabbil `Arshil `Azeem. Wal-Hamdu-lillaahi Rabbil-`Alameen. As’aluka mujeebati rahmatik, wa `azaaa‘ima maghfiratik, wal ghaneemata min kulli birr, wassalaamata min kulli ithm. Laa tada` lee dhanban illaa ghafartah, walaa hamman illaa farraj-tah, walaa daynan illa qadaytah, walaa haajatam-minha-waijid-dunyaa wal-aaakhirah, heya laka ridan illaa qadaytahaa yaaa ar-hamar-Raahemeen. Ameen, Thumma Ameen Ya Rabbil’Alameen.

Translation of Salaatul Haajat Du’a

There is no god but Allah the Clement and Wise. There is no god but Allah the High and Mighty. Glory be to Allah, Lord of Tremendous Throne. All praise is to Allah, Lord of the worlds. I ask you (O. Allah) everything that leads to your mercy, and your tremendous forgiveness, enrichment in all good, and freedom from all sin. Do not leave a sin of mine (O. Allah), except that you forgive it, nor any concern except that you create for it an opening, nor any need in which there is your good pleasure except that you fulfill it, O. Most Merciful!

The meaning of this du’a in the words of Abu Dawood is, “Whenever a matter became serious, the Prophet (SallAllahu ’alaihi wa Sallam) turned to salah.” 

It means that one can plead to God at any time asking for help, for Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala is the most merciful and beneficent. Among all voluntary appeals to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala, there is also one important prayer, which is called Salaatul Haajat. 

It is observed for the purpose of completion of one’s particular Haajah (need). It is but one of the ways to pray to the Almighty for one’s rightful wish.

“He who makes wudhu, and does it properly, then prays two rak’ats, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala will grant him whatever he may pray for, sooner or later” (Ahmad)

Salaatul Haajat for Marriage

Salaat ul Haajat for marriage gives best results if recited on a Monday. After completing the Isha prayer, one must perform ablution or purification bath, and then proceed to a private space to offer the prayer.

Start by offering a 4 rakah prayer with one salaam. Also, say the intention (Niyyah)of the prayer at this time.

In the first rakah, recite Surah al-Fatihah, followed by Surah Ikhlas, a total of ten times. In second rakah, recited the same surahs 20 times. In the third rakah, say the same surahs 30 times. And finally in the 4 rakah, both surah should be recited 40 times.

Perform salaam, and silently move on to the next step.

Recite Surah Ikhlas 75 times. Then recite Istaghfaar 75 times. And finally, recite Darood Shareef 75 times.

Finally, offer your du’a for marriage.

Repeat every Monday for faster results.

How to perform Salaatul-Haajat?

For performing these prayers or namaz, there is a particular format that has to be followed. Here’s a quick guide on how to pray Salaatul-Haajat.

The person performing Salaat-ul-Haajat has to start making a Wudhu. Wudhu is a cleansing ritual that is performed as an important part of purity and cleanliness in Islam.

After this two rakats are performed with an intention of Nafl Salaat.

After the salaat is completed, the reciting of prayer to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala and Durood Shareef starts. It is considered good to recite as much amount of Tasbeeh and Durood Shareef in Islam.

Once this all is done in the end, making a keen Du’a e Haajat is compulsory. This helps in the fulfillment of one’s requirement or obscurity.

Salaatul-Haajat Benefits

Salaat-ul-Haajat rewards or benefits cannot be explicitly mentioned as they come from the purpose of the prayer. It is a prayer of the need and the rewards with benefits as per one’s need and wishes. 

It is a powerful salaat and must be performed with a pure heart and complete surrender to the Almighty. When said with honest intentions, this prayer is sure to fulfill all wishes and fetch miraculous rewards from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala, the most merciful.

It is a prayer basically recited for wishes or the fulfillment of any specific purpose.

SA BUILDING A NEW RELIGION, NEW ISLAM, AN INNOVATION (BID’AH), WHICH IS FORBIDDEN ACCORDING TO ISLAMIC LAW...

WHEN KUFR (POLYTHEISM) RISES FROM THE HOME OF THE KA’BAH, WHERE DO BOTH ISLAM AND MUSLIMS GO?

Here some reforms implemented by western educated and trained Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.of Saudi Arabia, that will likely have the biggest impact on the conservative kingdom.

1. Women's driving ban lifted

Saudi Arabia shocked many in the kingdom late September when it was announced a long-standing and controversial ban on women driving in the Saudi Arabia would be lifted in 2018.

2. Saudi's first ever Comic Con

Saudi Arabia's first "Comic Con" event - a US-based pop culture movement - was held in February. The three day festival of anime, pop art, video gaming and film-related events was the first of its kind in Saudi Arabia.

3. Stadiums open to Saudi women

In another landmark move, Saudi Arabia announced its decision to allow women to enter sports stadiums for the first time from next year.

The ultra-conservative kingdom - which has some of the world's tightest restrictions on women - has long barred women from sports arenas by strict rules on segregation.

4. Entertainment city planned

Riyadh announced plans to build an 'entertainment city' outside the capital, Riyadh. The 334sq km park will include a safari, sports facilities, theme park and other activities.

Saudi Arabia also announced it will build a series of theme parks in the Kingdom with US-based developer Six Flags involved in the projects.

5. Music concerts allowed

A series of concerts by international and Arab artists were hosted in Saudi Arabia in 2017 including the first exclusively female music concert with a performance from Lebanese singer Hiba Tawaji.

Saudis spent billions of dollars annually to see movies, attend concerts and visit amusement parks in neighbouring tourist hubs of Bahrain and Dubai.

6. Cinema ban lifted

For the first time in 35 years, cinemas in Saudi Arabia opened their doors to the public.

7. Tourist Visas

With promises of new entertainment facilities, theme parks, cinemas, concerts and water parks, and the promotion of Saudi Arabia's historical sites, all that was missing was the ever-elusive tourist visa. The government approved a tourist visa program in October.

8. Mixed-gender national day celebrations

The kingdom's national day in September saw women allowed to enter the Riyadh's main stadium to join in with celebrations for the first time.

The presence of women at the King Fahd Stadium marked a departure from previous celebrations in the Gulf kingdom.

Women were allowed to enter the stadium, a previously male-only venue used mostly for football matches. Women and their families were seated separately from single men but it allowed them to watch a musical show and a play on Saudi history.

9. Yoga

Fitness enthusiasts in Saudi Arabia can rejoice - yoga is officially back on the program.

The Saudi ministry of trade and industry has officially approved the teaching of yoga and listed it under their sports activities.

Those wishing to practice or teach yoga can now collect a license from the ministry. Fun times for yogis.

10. Saudi Arabia abolishes flogging

Saudi Arabia has abolished flogging as a punishment, the state human rights commission said Saturday, hailing a “major step forward” in the reform program.

Court-ordered floggings in Saudi Arabia — sometimes extending to hundreds of lashes — have long drawn condemnation from human rights groups.

Under the order Amr bil-Ma'roof and Nahi 'an-il-Munkar, it is my duty as a Muslim to advise all Muslim Brothers and Sisters to do GOOD and refrain from doing OTHERWISE.

The believing men and believing women are allies of one another. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and establish prayer and give Zakāh and obey Allah and His Messenger.

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says in the NOBLE QUR’AN, Chapter (Surah) al-Isra' Verse (Ayah) 34:

And do not approach the property of an orphan, except in the way that is the best, until he reaches maturity. And fulfill [every] commitment. Indeed, the commitment is ever [that about which one will be] questioned. NOBLE QUR'AN, 17:34

MY SHEIKH TOLD ME NOT TO MAKE A PROMISE, BUT IF YOU DO, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU FULFILL YOUR PROMISE. 

THE CHOICE IS ENTIRELY YOURS, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.

THE BENEFITS AND VIRTUES OF LISTENING TO OR RECITING OF SURAH AL-A'LAA (THE MOST HIGH), 87.

Surah A’laa (Arabic text: الأعلى) is the 87th chapter of the Holy Qur’an. The Surah titled in English means “The Most High” and it consists of 19 Verses, and it was revealed in Makkah.

SALATUL ISHRAQ AND SALATUL DUHA

What is Ishraq prayer?

Ishraq prayer is a two-rak‘ah prayer that is offered after the sun has risen and become high, for those who pray Fajr in congregation in the mosque, then sit in the place where they prayed, remembering Allah, may He be exalted, until they pray two Rak‘ahs. 

Virtue of Ishraq prayer

Concerning the virtue of ishraq prayer, the Prophet (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam) said: “Whoever prays Fajr in congregation, then sits remembering Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) until the sun rises, then prays two Rak‘ahs, will have a reward like that of Hajj and ‘Umrah, complete, complete, complete.” Narrated by at-Tirmidhi (586), from Anas ibn Malik (RadiyAllahu ‘anhu) 

Degree of Hadith on Ishraq prayer

There is a difference of scholarly opinion as to the soundness of this Hadith. It was classed as da‘if (weak) by some scholars and classed as hasan (good) by others. Among those who classed it as hasan was al-Albani (Rahimullah ‘alaihi) in Sahih Sunan at-Tirmidhi. 

Shaykh Ibn Baz (Rahimullaa ‘alaihi) was asked about it and said: 

“This Hadith has Isnads that are fine, thus it is regarded as coming under the heading of Hasan because of corroborating evidence. This prayer is Mustahabb after the sun has risen and reached the height of a spear, that is approximately fifteen or twenty minutes after the sun rises.” (Fatawa ash-Shaykh Ibn Baz, 25/171)

Ishraq prayer: Sunnah or obligatory?

This prayer is Mustahabb (encouraged), not obligatory, and it comes under the heading of Duha prayer, because the time for Duha prayer lasts from when the sun has risen high until just before the zenith (the time of Zuhr).

Is Duha prayer recommended?

With regard to Duha prayer being Sunnah and Mustahabb, it was narrated by al-Bukhari (1178) and Muslim (721) that Abu Hurayrah (RadiyAllahu ‘anhu) said: My beloved (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam) advised me to do three things, which I will not forsake so long as I live: to fast three days of each month, to pray Duha, and not to sleep until I pray Witr. 

Ishraq prayer and Duha prayer: The Same?

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymin (Rahimullahu ‘alaihi) was asked about Ishraq and Duha prayer, and replied: 

“The Sunnah of Ishraq is (the same as) the Sunnah of Duha , but if it is done early, from the time when the sun has risen to the height of a spear, then it is Ishraq prayer; if it is done at the end of its time or in the middle of its time, then it is Duha prayer. But it is (all) Duha prayer , because the scholars (Rahimullaa'alaihimaa) said that the time of Duha prayer lasts from when the sun has risen to the height of a spear until just before the zenith.” (Liqa al-Bab al-Maftuh, 141/24)  

And Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) knows the Best.

SAHIH AL-BUKHARI, Book 8, Hadith 137

Chapter (89): The mosques which are on the way to Al-Madinah and the places where the Prophet (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam) had offered Salat (Prayers)

بَابُ الْمَسَاجِدِ الَّتِي عَلَى طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ

وَالْمَوَاضِعِ الَّتِي صَلَّى فِيهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

The narrated Hadith is about the various places on the way from Medinah to Mackkah where the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed and is not translated.

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَنْزِلُ بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ حِينَ يَعْتَمِرُ، وَفِي حَجَّتِهِ حِينَ حَجَّ، تَحْتَ سَمُرَةٍ فِي مَوْضِعِ الْمَسْجِدِ الَّذِي بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ، وَكَانَ إِذَا رَجَعَ مِنْ غَزْوٍ كَانَ فِي تِلْكَ الطَّرِيقِ أَوْ حَجٍّ أَوْ عُمْرَةٍ هَبَطَ مِنْ بَطْنِ وَادٍ، فَإِذَا ظَهَرَ مِنْ بَطْنِ وَادٍ أَنَاخَ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ الَّتِي عَلَى شَفِيرِ الْوَادِي الشَّرْقِيَّةِ، فَعَرَّسَ ثَمَّ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ، لَيْسَ عِنْدَ الْمَسْجِدِ الَّذِي بِحِجَارَةٍ، وَلاَ عَلَى الأَكَمَةِ الَّتِي عَلَيْهَا الْمَسْجِدُ، كَانَ ثَمَّ خَلِيجٌ يُصَلِّي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عِنْدَهُ، فِي بَطْنِهِ كُثُبٌ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثَمَّ يُصَلِّي، فَدَحَا السَّيْلُ فِيهِ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ حَتَّى دَفَنَ ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانَ الَّذِي كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ.

وَأَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَنْزِلُ فِي الْمَسِيلِ الَّذِي فِي أَدْنَى مَرِّ الظَّهْرَانِ، قِبَلَ الْمَدِينَةِ حِينَ يَهْبِطُ مِنَ الصَّفْرَاوَاتِ يَنْزِلُ فِي بَطْنِ ذَلِكَ الْمَسِيلِ عَنْ يَسَارِ الطَّرِيقِ، وَأَنْتَ ذَاهِبٌ إِلَى مَكَّةَ، لَيْسَ بَيْنَ مَنْزِلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَبَيْنَ الطَّرِيقِ إِلاَّ رَمْيَةٌ بِحَجَرٍ.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, As-Salam-o-‘alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,

Ramadan & Eid-ul-Fitr Mubarak,  1445 A.H. Mubarak and many more to come In shaa Allah, although a little late but it is never too late.

Because of current affairs, there is tremendous amount of demand for Holy Qur’an and Islamic Literature, especially from the U.S. Prison System, Al-Hamdo Lillah.

To meet with the requests, we have decided to provide these books at no cost to all those persons who ask for them and cannot afford to buy them, In shaa Allah,

We have prepared an estimated budget for the year 2024, as follows.

1,000 Copies, Holy Quran, Abdullah Yusuf Ali, English, Paper Back, US $1,000.00

1,000 Copies, Elementary Teachings of Islam, Abdul Alim Siddiqui, Arabic-English, Paper Back, Pocket Edition, US$ 2,000.00

2,000 Copies, A Brief Illustrated Guide for Understanding Islam, I. A. Ibrahim, Arabic-English, Paper Back, US$ 4,000.00 (to be reprinted)

Shipping Charges via USPS Media Mail to 1,000 persons, US $5.00 (Including Packing), US$ 5,000.00 

 TOTAL: US$ 12,000.00 

This is approximately One Thousand Dollars (US$1,000.00) per month, which our community of Professionals can easily afford to donate, Al-Hamdo Lillahi Rabbil ‘aalameen.

Generosity is heavily encouraged during the last ten (10) nights of Ramadan. This is called Sadaqah, or voluntary charity, and can be in many forms, such as feeding someone a meal, donating to charity, performing a good deed, or doing an act of kindness.

 وَتَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى ٱلۡبِرِّ وَٱلتَّقۡوَىٰۖ نِۚ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ

wa ta’aawanoo ‘alalbirri wattaqwaa; wattaqullaah; innAllaaha shadeedul ‘iqaab. SURAH AL-MA’IDAH AYAT 2 (5:2 HOLY QURAN)

We invite all of you to contribute to promote the Cause of Allah by propagating His Message through His Last Prophet Muhammad (SallaAllhu ‘alaihi wa Sallam), as advised by him during the Last Khutbah in Makkah, with your Charity, Khairaat, or Sadaqah or Zakat  as a DONATION to the Islamic Center, P.O. Box 5192, 2807 Bedford Street, Johnstown, PA, 15904, United States of America.

ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ

Alladheena yu’minoona bilghaibi wa yuqeemoonas Salaata wa mimmaa razaqnaahum yunfiqoon; SURAH AL-BAQARAH, AYAT 3 (2:3 HOLY QURAN)

Please donate as much as you can as soon as you can. The more you spend the more you get. Please do it before it is too late. Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam) said, “If one person is guided through you, it is better than red camels (precious commodity).’

A HISTORICAL FACT! 

JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER AND WAKE UP CALL TO ALL THOSE SO-CALLED OUR MUSLIM RULERS OF UN-ISLAMIC WORLD, UTHO!

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala (God Almighty) warned Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho ‘alahi wa Sallam in the Holy Qur’an more than fourteen hundred forty-three (1444) years ago to beware of Jews and Christians, a FACT which the Christians and Jews have proven so far. 

Please double check it for yourself with THE REFERENCES given below. THANKS!

يٰۤـاَيُّهَاالَّذِيۡنَاٰمَنُوۡالَاتَتَّخِذُواالۡيَهُوۡدَوَالنَّصٰرٰۤىاَوۡلِيَآءَ ۘبَعۡضُهُمۡاَوۡلِيَآءُبَعۡضٍ ؕوَمَنۡيَّتَوَلَّهُمۡمِّنۡكُمۡفَاِنَّهٗمِنۡهُمۡ ؕاِنَّاللّٰهَلَايَهۡدِىالۡقَوۡمَالظّٰلِمِيۡنَ

O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies (guardians). They are [in fact] allies (guardians) of one another (against you). And whoever is an ally (guardian) to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people. NOBLE QUR’AN, Surah (Chapter) Al-Ma’ida 5, Ayah (Verse) 51.

هُوَالَّذِيأَخْرَجَالَّذِينَكَفَرُوامِنْأَهْلِالْكِتَابِمِنْدِيَارِهِمْلِأَوَّلِالْحَشْرِ ۚمَاظَنَنْتُمْأَنْيَخْرُجُوا ۖوَظَنُّواأَنَّهُمْمَانِعَتُهُمْحُصُونُهُمْمِنَاللَّهِفَأَتَاهُمُاللَّهُمِنْحَيْثُلَمْيَحْتَسِبُوا ۖوَقَذَفَفِيقُلُوبِهِمُالرُّعْبَ ۚيُخْرِبُونَبُيُوتَهُمْبِأَيْدِيهِمْوَأَيْدِيالْمُؤْمِنِينَفَاعْتَبِرُوايَاأُولِيالْأَبْصَارِ  

He it is Who drove out the disbelievers among the people of the Scripture (i.e., the Jews of the tribe of Bani An-Nadhir) from their homes at the first gathering. You did not think that they would get out. And they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala! But Allah's (Torment) reached them from a place whereof they expected it not, and He cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their own dwellings with their own hands and the hands of the believers. Then take admonition, NOBLE QUR’AN, Chapter (Surah) al-Hashr, 59, Verse (Ayah) 2.

O YOU WITH EYES TO SEE!

THEN TAKE ADMONITION, O YOU WITH EYES (TO SEE).

May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala (God Almighty) show you the LIGHT after seeing with your eyes the FACTS on the ground in so many occupied (Militarily) Muslim countries, including but not limited to, Afghanistan, Bahrain, Djibouti, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Qatar, Syria, and Turkey, United Arab Emirates, etc., etc., etc.

JUSTICE IN THE SO-CALLED ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF PAKISTAN, WHICH IS NEITHER ISLAMIC, NOR REPUBLIC,

 UNFORTUNATELY!

Justice in Islam the Backbone of Creation Islam attaches the highest importance to justice. In fact, Divine Justice is the backbone of the whole act of creation. The balance and the due proportion evident in the heavens and the earth are a manifestation of Allah’s (God’s) Justice. 

Thus in Islam, balance and justice are central to the design and order underlying Allah’s creative fiat as also in the ultimate Reckoning on the Day of Judgment. It is the consequence of Divine Justice that man has free will because, without free will, man does not merit either reward or punishment for his deeds. For this reason, the great scholars of Islam have called free will the Principle of Justice. If we study the cause of the ruin of many past civilizations, we find at the root the neglect of justice. 

In fact, justice is a value that a ruler can ignore only at his own peril. In the case of a people who violate the fundamentals of justice, Allah will punish them severely. That is the valuable lesson we learn from history. The Qur’an repeatedly admonishes the believers to travel in the world and study the history of past societies, particularly the nations that were destroyed for their iniquities. Allah commands us in the Qur’an to do good and to avoid shameful deeds, injustice, and rebellion. 

He commands us to be just, even if we hate a people. Islam takes all measures to ensure that justice prevails in every field Social justice is an important prerequisite for peace in the world since an unjust social system is a temporarily dormant volcano whose eruption can be expected any moment. How can there be peace when stolen property is not restored to the owner, or when criminals go free after blatantly breaking law and order? 

Since Islam is a practical religion and not a religion of sweet, impracticable homilies, such issues are necessarily addressed within the purview of religion itself. For in Islam, religion is not so rarefied and sublimated as to ignore social or political concerns for this.
