I saw a vision during the time of the Messenger of Allah, and I narrated it to him. He said, `All praise is due to Allah! No one should say what he has no knowledge of. When he felt at ease, I said to him, `When you entered the Masjid, the people said such and such things.' The people said, `This is a man from among the people of Paradise.' When he left, I followed him until he entered his house, and I entered it after him and spoke with him. "I was in the Masjid when a man whose face showed signs of humbleness came and prayed two Rak`ahs that were modest in length. Imam Ahmad recorded that Qays bin Abbad said, "The most trustworthy handhold is Iman (faith)." (then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break). Means, "He will have hold of the true religion with the strongest grasp."Īllah equated this adherence to the firm handhold that never breaks because it is built solid and because its handle is firmly connected. Then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break, Umar's statement that Taghut is Shaytan is very sound, for this meaning includes every type of evil that the ignorant people of Jahiliyyah (pre Islamic era of ignorance) fell into, such as worshipping idols, referring to them for judgment, and invoking them for victory. Man's honor resides with his religion and his status is based upon his character, even if he was Persian or Nabatian." Verily, courage and cowardice are two instincts that appear in men, the courageous fights for those whom he does not know and the coward runs away from defending his own mother. " Jibt means magic, and Taghut means Shaytan. Therefore, this person will have acquired firmness (in the religion) and proceeded on the correct way and the straight path.Ību Al-Qasim Al-Baghawi recorded that Umar said, (then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold). Is in reference to, "Whoever shuns the rivals of Allah, the idols, and those that Shaytan calls to be worshipped besides Allah, whoever believes in Allah's Oneness, worships Him alone and testifies that there is no deity worthy of worship except Him, Whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. The Prophet said to the man that even though he dislikes embracing Islam, he should still embrace it, `for Allah will grant you sincerity and true intent.' The Prophet merely invited this man to become Muslim, and he replied that he does not find himself eager to become Muslim. However, it is not relevant to the subject under discussion, for the Prophet did not force that man to become Muslim.
The man said, "I dislike it." The Prophet said,įirst, this is an authentic Hadith, with only three narrators between Imam Ahmad and the Prophet. Verily, the right path has become distinct from the wrong path)." Abu Dawud and An-Nasa'i also recorded this Hadith.Īs for the Hadith that Imam Ahmad recorded, in which Anas said that the Messenger of Allah said to a man, When Banu An-Nadir (the Jewish tribe) were evacuated (from Al-Madinah), some of the children of the Ansar were being raised among them, and the Ansar said, `We will not abandon our children.' "When (an Ansar) woman would not bear children who would live, she would vow that if she gives birth to a child who remains alive, she would raise him as a Jew. Ibn Jarir recorded that Ibn Abbas said (that before Islam), The Ansar were the reason behind revealing this Ayah, although its indication is general in meaning. Whoever Allah blinds his heart and seals his hearing and sight, then he will not benefit from being forced to embrace Islam." Rather, whoever Allah directs to Islam, opens his heart for it and enlightens his mind, will embrace Islam with certainty.
Therefore, there is no need to force anyone to embrace Islam. Meaning, "Do not force anyone to become Muslim, for Islam is plain and clear, and its proofs and evidence are plain and clear. Verily, the right path has become distinct from the wrong path.
