# Dars 16 - Dars-e-Hadith by Mufti Zahid Hussain - Type: Lecture - By: TheSunniWay - Extent: 24 min - Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70yQ6z4scXs - Original source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70yQ6z4scXs - Canonical URL: https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-16-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain - Publisher: Noor E Nabi (https://noorenabi.org) This lecture details the rights of Allah and His servants, the nature of divine provision, and the importance of maintaining faith through religious practice. It emphasizes that while Allah grants sustenance and protection to all, including those who reject Him, believers are obligated to worship Him exclusively and avoid *shirk* (associating partners with Allah). The work clarifies that the "right of the servants upon Allah"—that He will not punish those who do not commit *shirk*—is a promise of reward for the righteous, provided they remain steadfast in their faith until death. The text underscores that the fear of losing one's faith is a hallmark of a true believer, whereas a hypocrite remains unconcerned. To protect this faith, the work teaches that one must adhere to the *Sharia*, including the performance of *Salah* (prayer), fasting, and other obligatory acts. These practices serve as a spiritual fortification against the influence of *Shaitan*, especially at the time of death. The lecture also explores the etiquette of responding to the Prophet Muhammad, explaining that the term *Labbayka* signifies a servant’s total readiness and presence in the court of their master. --- ## Key topics & takeaways ### Divine provision and patience - **Provision for the rejectors** — Allah grants *Afiyah* (protection from calamities and disease) and *Rizq* (sustenance) even to those who reject Him and commit *shirk* ([0:59](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-16-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain?t=59)) - **Definition of Afiyah** — This is defined as protection from *Afat* (calamities) and *Bala* (trials), including the prevention of illnesses and viruses ([2:26](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-16-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain?t=146)) - **Definition of Rizq** — This encompasses all provisions, such as water, air, clothing, shelter, and weather conditions ([2:26](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-16-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain?t=146)) - **Practice of patience** — Believers are encouraged to avoid seeking revenge or proving others wrong, instead practicing patience and tolerance ([2:26](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-16-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain?t=146)) ### The rights of Allah and His servants - **The right of Allah** — The fundamental right of Allah upon His servants is that they worship Him alone and do not partner anything with Him ([8:43](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-16-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain?t=523)) - **The right of the servants** — The right of the servants upon Allah is that He will not punish those who do not commit *shirk* or *kufr* ([8:43](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-16-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain?t=523)) - **Interpretation of punishment** — While some scholars interpret the absence of punishment as the absence of eternal punishment, others hold that it means Allah will not punish the believer for their sins, as He is most forgiving toward those who die with *Iman* ([11:36](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-16-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain?t=696)) - **The danger of reliance** — The Prophet Muhammad forbade sharing the news of this "right of the servants" broadly, warning that people might become *yattakilu* (reliant/lazy) and neglect their religious duties ([11:36](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-16-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain?t=696)) ### Protection of faith - **Fear of losing Iman** — Only a true believer fears the loss of their *Iman*, whereas a hypocrite feels no such concern ([14:34](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-16-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain?t=874)) - **The example of the Sahaba** — The *Tabii* Imam Ibn Abi Mulayka reported that he met numerous *Sahaba* (companions), and none of them claimed their faith was as secure as that of the angels;
