# Dars-e-Hadith by Mufti Zahid Hussain | Dars 3 | Ramadan 1445 - Type: Lecture - By: TheSunniWay - Extent: 12 min - Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIDmC7vfj7E - Original source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIDmC7vfj7E - Canonical URL: https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain-dars-3-ramada - Publisher: Noor E Nabi (https://noorenabi.org) The *Kalima Shahada* serves as the key to *Jannah*, but its efficacy depends on the "teeth" of the key, which represent the entirety of Islamic belief and practice. Faith is not merely the verbal declaration of *la ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah*, but requires adherence to the middle path, avoiding both deficiency and *bid'ah* (innovation). Good deeds performed by a believer are multiplied by Allah from ten to seven hundred times or more, while evil deeds are recorded as a single sin. The sign of true *iman* (faith) is the internal experience of joy upon performing a good deed and distress upon committing a bad one. ### The Kalima and the Path of Faith - **The nature of the Kalima** — the statement *la ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah* is the key to *Jannah*, but it requires the "teeth" of the key—the complete set of Islamic beliefs and practices—to function ([0:03](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain-dars-3-ramada?t=3)). - **Theological implications of *la ilaha illallah*** — this declaration includes the belief that Allah is one, free from faults, transcendent, beyond time and space, and free from lying, deceiving, or committing *zulm* (injustice) ([1:44](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain-dars-3-ramada?t=104)). - **Theological implications of *Muhammadur Rasulullah*** — this includes the belief that the Prophet is *khatamun nabiyyin* (the final prophet), *sayyidul mursalin* (the master of all prophets), and the most honorable; any disrespect toward him constitutes *kufr* ([3:01](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain-dars-3-ramada?t=181)). - **Knowledge of the Prophet** — the Prophet was granted vast knowledge by Allah, including *ilme ma kana wa ma yakun* (knowledge of what has happened and what will happen) ([3:01](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain-dars-3-ramada?t=181)). - **The middle path** — Islam is a moderate religion, and the Prophet demonstrated the "straight path" to his companions, warning against paths where *shaytan* sits ([4:16](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain-dars-3-ramada?t=256)). - **Bid'ah** — adding beliefs or practices that contradict the Qur'an and *hadith* constitutes *bid'ah sayyi'ah* (bad innovation) and *dalalah* (misguidance), which prevents the key of the *Kalima* from working ([4:16](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain-dars-3-ramada?t=256)). - **Interpretations of the "teeth"** — some scholars interpret the "teeth" as the fundamentals of faith, while others identify them specifically as the pillars of Islam: *salah*, *siyam*, *zakah*, and *hajj* ([4:16](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain-dars-3-ramada?t=256)). - **The structure of faith** — the *shahada* acts as the middle pole of the tent of faith, without which the other pillars cannot hold the structure of religion ([4:16](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain-dars-3-ramada?t=256), [5:53](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain-dars-3-ramada?t=353)). ### Rewards and Sins - **Multiplication of good deeds** — when a believer beautifies their Islam through good actions, Allah records each good deed as ten to seven hundred times its value ([5:53](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain-dars-3-ramada?t=353), [7:14](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain-dars-3-ramada?t=434)). - **The number seven hundred** — the use of the number seven and its multiples in the Arabic language often signifies exaggeration or an open-ended abundance rather than a specific, limited count ([7:14](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain-dars-3-ramada?t=434)). - **Recording of sins** — every evil deed committed by a believer is recorded as only one sin in the book of deeds ([8:43](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain-dars-3-ramada?t=523)). ### Signs of Faith - **The definition of *iman*** — faith consists of belief in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, the decree of good and evil from Allah, and the resurrection after death ([10:12](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain-dars-3-ramada?t=612)). - **The sign of *iman*** — the indicator that one possesses true faith is feeling pleasure and happiness when performing a good deed, and feeling discomfort and distress when committing a bad deed ([10:12](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain-dars-3-ramada?t=612)). ### Words the reader recites - **Dua for the conclusion of the gathering** — the following is recited at the end of the session ([11:44](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-dars-e-hadith-by-mufti-zahid-hussain-dars-3-ramada?t=704)) :::dua{label="Concluding prayer"} Allahumma salli ala sayyidina wa maulana Muhammadin. Wa alihi wa sahbihi wa sallim salatan wa salaman alayka ya sayyidi ya Rasulullah. > O Allah, send blessings upon our master and guardian Muhammad, and upon his family and companions, and send peace and salutations upon you, O my master, O Messenger of Allah. ::: --- From the Noor E Nabi library.
