These are some hadiths that I researched, collected and written for the benefit of some people who have deviated from the teachings of Quran and Sunnah and started accusing students of Knowledge as kafirs just because they strictly follow the teachings of Quran and Sunnah and leave no space for mumbo jumbo stuff.
These Deviants (those people who have deviated from the path of Quran and Sunnah) are pretty active on the internet.
A lot of forums and specially YouTube has become the hot bed for this sort of activities and there may be hundreds of videos which are posted to degrade not only the followers of Quran and Sunnah and students of knowledge but as well some of the greatest and most brilliant Alims of Islam, like Ibn Katheer, Ibn Taymiya etc. the Islam has ever seen.
They label these eminent Alims, scholars, teachers as Kafirs just because some of their teachings and sayings does not conform with with way these "deviants" would want it to be.
Having said that there are some scholars and teachers who genuinely may have made mistakes in their teachings and their sayings. But That does not give these deviants a right to accuse and abuse these scholars and teachers. They should politely point out their mistakes and refrain from slandering.
And whats worse is that those people who are indulging in takfeeri (calling other muslims as Kafirs) are not well versed in Islam and its teaching. I have been trying to enlighten some of these "deviants", however their pendulum seems to be stuck at one word "Wahhabi" even if you prove that some of the actions of these "deviants" totally go against the the Quran and Sunnah.
This post is primarily focused on those "deviants" and I will provide evidences from Quran and Hadiths that what they are doing is not warranted in Islam. In fact, its absolutely haraam to indulge in this type of activities. Although any one who reads this post should benefit is tremendously as some of the Ayaths and Hadiths are extremely powerful.
I really hope and pray that some of these "deviants" will be enlightened and come the the path of Quran and Sunnah after reading these hadiths and some ayaths just read them objectively, I hope Allah help you to come to the path of Quran, Sunnah of Rasool (SAW), the Guidance of the Rightly Guided Caliphs and the Teachings of the Four great Imams of Islam.
Also, Please for the sake of Allah refrain from spreading fabricated hadiths and slandering people.
I hope these Hadiths will help you.
1) For guarding ones self from False Allegations and Doubtful Matters:
==========================================================
The Prophet (P.B.U.H) said: "Whoever guards against the doubtful matters will protect his religious commitment from shortcomings and will protect his honour from slander, but whoever falls into that which is doubtful will fall into that which is haraam."
(Al-Bukhaari;52 and Muslim;1599)
2) Accusing someone of Disbelief:
===========================
The Prophet (P.B.U.H) said, "Whoever swears by a religion other than Islam, is, as he says; and whoever commits suicide with something, will be punished with the same thing in the (Hell) Fire; and cursing a believer is like murdering him; and whoever accuses a believer of disbelief, then it is as if he had killed him."
(Al-Bukhari; 6232)
3) Fabricating Hadiths:
===================
It was narrated by Ali that The Prophet (P.B.U.H) said, "Do not tell a lie against me for whoever tells a lie against me (intentionally) then he will surely enter the Hell-fire."
(Al-Bukhari; 107)
4) Curse and Cursing Others:
========================
a) The Prophet (P.B.U.H) said: "The believer is not a slanderer, one who curses a great deal, one who indulges in obscenity or who in engages in foul talk."
(Al-Tirmidhi; 1977)
b) It Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas (R.A): A man cursed the wind. (The narrator Muslim's version has:) The wind snatched away a man's cloak during the time of The Prophet (P.B.U.H) and he cursed it. The Prophet (P.B.U.H) said: Do not curse it, for it is under command, and if anyone curses a thing undeservedly, the curse returns upon him."
(Sunan Al-Abu Dawood; Book 41, Number 4890)
c) It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (R.A) that the Messenger of Allaah (P.B.U.H) said: "It is not appropriate for a sincere believer to be given to cursing."
(Al-Muslim; 2597)
d) It was narrated that Abu'l-Darda' (R.A) said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (P.B.U.H) say: "Those who curse a great deal will not be witnesses or intercessors on the Day of Resurrection. (Al-Muslim; 2598)
5) Backbiting & Slandering:
=======================
a) The Quran says"neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear Allaah. Verily, Allaah is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful"
(Surah Al-Hujuraat, 49:12)
b) Also It was narrated from Abu Hurairah (R.A) that the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) said: "Do you know what gheebah (backbiting) is?" They said, "Allaah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Saying something about your brother that he dislikes." It was said, "What if what I say about my brother is true?" He said, "If what you say is true then you have backbitten about him, and if it is not true, then you have slandered him."
( Al-Muslim; 2589 )
c) It was narrated by Abu Huraira (R.A): I heard Abu-l-Qasim (the Prophet (PBUH) saying, "If somebody slanders his slave and the slave is free from what he says, he will be flogged on the Day of Resurrection unless the slave is really as he has described him."
(Al-Bukhari; No. 6426)
d) It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbaas (R.A) said: The Messenger of Allaah (P.B.U.H) passed by two graves and said, "They are being punished, but they are not being punished for anything that was difficult to avoid. One of them used to walk about spreading malicious gossip (nameemah), and the other used not to take precautions to avoid getting urine on himself when he urinated."
Then he called for a green branch, which he split in two and planted a piece on each grave, and said, "May their torment be reduced so long as these do not dry out."
(Narrated by Al-Bukhaari, 213) (Al-Muslim, 292 )
I sincerely hope that you have had some benefit from these hadiths.
I pray that may Allah forgive you and May Allah help you to come to the path of Quran, Sunnah of Messenger Of Allah (P.B.U.H), the Guidance of the Rightly Guided Caliphs (R.A) and the Teachings of the Four great Imams of Islam.
Amin

Back Biting and Slandering - Causes of Clamities in Our Lives.
In our society and our lives we have been inflicted with calamities and disasters.
Have we ever looked at our lives and examined our actions whether they follow the true teachings of Islam.
Many a thing we do goes directly against the teachings of Quran and Sunnah. And Back biting and Slandering are couple of things which we do in our lives which is a cause of calamities and disasters in our lives.
The hadith of Prophet Mohammed (P.B.U.H) defines what is Backbiting and Slandering:
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah (R.A) that the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) said: "Do you know what gheebah (backbiting) is?" They said, "Allaah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Saying something about your brother that he dislikes." It was said, "What if what I say about my brother is true?" He said, "If what you say is true then you have backbitten about him, and if it is not true, then you have slandered him."
( Muslim;2589 )
The Quran clearly forbids us not to Backbite and Slander people.
"neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear Allaah. Verily, Allaah is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful"
(Surah Al-Hujuraat, 49:12)
Allah curses the person who Backbiter and Slanders:
" Woe to every slanderer and Backbiter."
(Surah Al-Humazah, 104: 1)
Backbiting and Slandering not only gains curse of Allah but also the torment in graves..
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbaas said: The Messenger of Allaah (S.A.W) passed by two graves and said, "They are being punished, but they are not being punished for anything that was difficult to avoid. One of them used to walk about spreading malicious gossip (nameemah), and the other used not to take precautions to avoid getting urine on himself when he urinated". Then he called for a green branch, which he split in two and planted a piece on each grave, and said, "May their torment be reduced so long as these do not dry out."
(Narrated by Bukhaari, 213; Muslim, 292 )
..but also flogging in the Day of Judgement.
It was narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Abu-l-Qasim (the Prophet) saying, "If somebody slanders his slave and the slave is free from what he says, he will be flogged on the Day of Resurrection unless the slave is really as he has described him."
(Bukhari; No. 6426)
So my brothers and sister please think carefully before you speak, hold your tongue before you speak ill of people.
May Allah forgive our sins. May Allah Help us to increase our Iman. May Allah bring Blessings, Prosperity, Tranquility and "Glad Tidings" in our lives.
May Allah help us to come to the path of Quran, Sunnah of Prophet Mohammed (P.B.U.H), the Guidance of the Rightly Guided Caliphs and the Teachings of the Four great Imams of Islam.
Amin.

Why We Should Not Celebrate Mawlid - un - Nabi
Why We Should Not Celebrate Birthday of Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) Mawlid-Un-Nabi, Eid Milad-Ul-Nabi.
Allah said in Quran:
“(This is) a Book which We have revealed unto you (O Muhammad) in order that you might lead mankind out of darkness (of disbelief and polytheism) into light (of belief in the Oneness of Allaah and Islâmic Monotheism) by their Lord’s Leave to the path of the All Mighty, the Owner of all praise” [Surah Ibraaheem 14:1]
“And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad) gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it)” [Surah al-Hashr 59:7]
Acts of worship in Islam are based on an important principle, which is that no one is permitted to worship Allaah in any way except that which Allaah has prescribed in his Book or which was taught by His Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Whoever worships Allaah by doing something that Allaah and His Messenger have not enjoined, Allaah will not accept that from him.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us of that, as it was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Whoever innovates something in this matter of ours [i.e., Islam] that is not part of it will have it rejected." (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, Kitaab al-Sulh, 2499).
Acts of worship include festivals. Allaah has prescribed two festivals or Eids (Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul- Adh’Ha) for us to celebrate, and it is not permissible for us to celebrate any others.
With regard to celebrating the day on which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was born, Eid Milad-Un-Nabi, it should be noted that he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not tell us to celebrate this day, and he himself (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not celebrate it, nor did his companions (may Allaah be pleased with them).
They loved the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) far more than we do, yet despite that they did not celebrate this day. Hence we do not celebrate this day, in obedience to the command of Allaah Who has commanded us to follow the commands of His Prophet. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad) gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it)” [al-Hashr 59:7]
And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I urge you to adhere to my Sunnah [way] and the way of the Rightly-Guided khaleefahs. Adhere to it and cling tightly to it. And beware of newly-invented matters [in religion], for every newly-invented matter is an innovation and every innovation is a going-astray.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood, al-Sunnah, 3991).
Henceforth, there is no festival in Islamic sharee’ah that is called “The Prophet’s Birthday, Mawlid al-Nabi or Eid Milad-Un-Nabi”. Neither the Sahaabah, nor the Rightly Guided Khaleefahs nor the Taabi’een (Generation after Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)) nor the four imams (of schools of thoughts which are Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali) recognised such a day as part of their religion.
The extent to which a person loves the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is to be seen in how he follows him (S.A.W) with regard to all that he commanded or forbade. That includes following him in not celebrating the day on which he was born, Mawlid al-Nabi (the Prophet’s birthday). Other examples of celebrations which are also prohibited are be such as Valentines Day etc. because these are innovated acts of worship which Allaah has not prescribed, and because it involves imitation of the Christians and other kaafirs. And in the second and third cases there is imitation of the kuffaar.
Mawlid al-Nabi or Eid Milad-Un-Nabi festival was introduced by some ignorant innovators, then the people began to follow this innovation but the Great imams of Islam have denounced it in every time and place. In fact these practices were not prescribed in any of the Hadith books, nor were they advocated or promoted by any of the four schools of thoughts which are Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali Imams.
Any of the things which are intended as rituals or acts of worship aimed at drawing closer to Allaah or glorifying Him in order to earn reward, or which involve imitating the people of Jaahiliyyah or any other groups of kaafirs, is a prohibited bid’ah, an innovation which comes under the general meaning of the hadeeth: “Whoever innovates something in this matter of ours (Islam) that is not part of it, will have it rejected.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim).
Whoever wants to venerate the day on which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was born should follow the alternative that is based on Islamic evidence, which is that one should fast on Mondays, not just the day that he was born but every Monday.
It was narrated from Abu Qutaadah al-Ansaari (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asked about fasting on Mondays. He said, “On that day I was born and on that day the Revelation came to me.” (Narrated by Muslim, 1978).
Conclusion: Celebrating the Prophet’s birthday was not prescribed by Allaah or by the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), neither the Sahaabah nor the Taabi’een (Generation after Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)) nor the four imams recognised such a day as part of their religion. So it is not permissible for the Muslims to celebrate his birthday, in obedience to the command of Allaah and the command of His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
May Allah Guide Us To Right Path, The Path Of Sunnah.
I do not own this article, it was complied from different sources and verified. If there is an error then I except the error. It does not mean that there is an error in the Quran and Hadiths. If you find errors then please do inform me.
