The age-old battle of
the Islamic world against the Jews and Christians is rooted in Islamic
scripture. This is brought forward in the book, "The Gardens of
the Righteous"(Arabic: Riyadh as-Salihin).
This book, which
advocates the killing of Jews, is not something you would expect
to be encouraged by a Canadian website. However, we find this book on
the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) Canada website. It is no
wonder we continue to battle with virulent Antisemitism in
Canada, as we have seen by the recent shameful display in Toronto at
the annual Al Quds Day, June 9.
The Gardens of the
Righteous was compiled by Imam Zakaruya Yahya Bin Sharaf
An-Nawawi, a Sunni Shafi’ite jurist and hadith
scholar who lived in 13th century.
It is a compilation
of verses from the Qur’an and hadith. It contains a total of 1905
hadith divided across 372 chapters, many of which are introduced by
verses of the Quran and adds modern commentary to the verses
from the Qur’an and hadith.
The following are
excerpts from the book:
“[Hadith] 824.
Ash-Sharid bin Suwaid (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) passed by me when I was sitting with my left
hand behind my back and leaning on my palm. On seeing me in this
posture he said, “Do you sit like those upon whom the Wrath of Allah
has descended?” [Abu Dawud].”
“Commentary: The Jews and Christians are
the people upon whom came the Wrath of Allah.
Muslims have been stopped from copying their example. But unfortunately
they now take a pride in imitating them in every matter and think it
necessary for worldly progress.”
“[Hadith] 866.
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) said, “Do not greet the Jews and the Christians before
they greet you; and when you meet any one of them on the road, force
him to go to the narrowest part of it.” [Muslim].”
“Commentary: This Hadith prohibits
Muslims from greeting non-Muslims first. It also
tells us that when the road is crowded, we should use the middle of the
road and let the non-Muslims use its sides.This Hadith shows the
dignity of Muslims and the disgrace and humiliation of the non-Muslims.”
“[Hadith] 868.
Usamah bin Zaid (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet
(PBUH) passed by a mixed company of people which included Muslims,
polytheists and Jews, and he gave them the greeting (i.e., saying
As-Salamu `Alaikum). [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].”
“Commentary: If there is a mixed assembly
of Muslims and non-Muslims, one should utter greeting to it but
consider Muslims as one’s addressees.”
“[Hadith] 883.
Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Jews used to
intentionally sneeze in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)
hoping that he would say to them: `Yarhamukum-ullah (may Allah have
mercy on you),’ but he would respond with: “Yahdikum-ullahu wa yuslihu
balakum (may Allah guide you and render sound your state of affairs).”
[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].”
“Commentary:
Here, we are told that in response to sneezing on the part of
non-Muslims, we should only utter these benedictory words:
“Yahdikum-ullahu wa yuslihu balakum (may Allah guide you and render
sound your state of affairs)!”
“[Hadith] 1636.
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) as saying: “Jews and Christians do not dye
their hair, so act differently from them.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].”
“Commentary:
We learn from this Hadith that the Prophet (PBUH) has advised the
Muslims to dye the hair of their head and beard with yellow or red
colour. They have been forbidden from dying the hair with black colour,
as will be explained in the coming Ahadith.”
“Some religious
scholars have regarded this as something desirable. Therefore, it is
not necessary to dye the hair of head and beard. But this is certainly
better. Since any
resemblance with the Jews and Christians is unlawful,
not dying the hair will create a resemblance with them. Therefore, in
such a situation the colouring will be necessary, otherwise it will be
Mustahabb, that is to say desirable.”
“[Hadith] 1812.
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah
(PBUH) said, “Dajjal
(the Antichrist) will be followed by seventy thousand Jews of
Isfahan and will be dressed in robes of green coloured satin.”
[Muslim].”
“Commentary:
Isfahan is a city in Persia (Iran). Tailasan green sheet (is the dress
of the Sheikhs of the non-Arab nations).”
“[Hadith] 1819.
`Abdullah bin `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said: One day the
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) mentioned Al-Masih Dajjal (the Antichrist) in
the presence of the people and said, “Verily, Allah is not one-eyed but
Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal is blind in the right eye which looks like a swollen
grape.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]”
“Commentary:
All these narrations about the mischief of Dajjal are correct and have
been narrated through reliable narrators, and all scholars agree on
their being true. They have been reported by Al- Bukhari and Muslim,
whose narrations are unanimously accepted by the `Ulama’.”
“The second coming of
the Prophet ‘Isa (Jesus) from the heavens is proved on the basis of
such reliable and true narrations that none can contradict them. Before
the Day of Resurrection all these things will happen, and it is
essential to believe in them.”
“Dajjal would be a descendant
of the Jews, and he will be called Dajjal because
of his mischief. The meaning of Dajjal is `one who greatly resorts to
fraud and deception’.”
“Allah will also give
him some extraordinary powers to test the belief of the Muslims. Dajjal
will claim to be the lord of the world. A large portion of the
Jews will be with him. He has also been named as
Al- Masih Ad-Dajjal in some narrations. Jesus, son of Mary (Peace be
upon them) will have the honour of killing him.”
“[Hadith] 1820.
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah(PBUH)
said, “The Last Hour will not come until the Muslims fight against the
Jews, until a Jew will hide himself behind a stone or a tree, and the
stone or the tree will say: `O Muslim, there is a Jew behind me. Come
and kill him,’ but Al-Gharqad tree will not say so,
for it is the tree of the Jews.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].”
“Commentary:
Gharqad is a thorny plant which is well-known in the area of Palestine.
Allah can bestow the power of speech to whatever thing He likes. When Allah wills, He will
give mastery to the Muslims. He will help them even by means of plants
and stones which will assist the Muslims against the Jews by informing
them about the whereabouts of the Jews.”
“The Jews have predominance
over the Muslims in spite of the fact that they are a minority. But
according to this true narration, the situation will definitely change
before the Day of Resurrection, and the Muslims will dominate the Jews.
Allah is the Master and Rubb of everything.”

“[Hadith] 1827.
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) said, “There were two women, each had her child with her.
A wolf came and took away the child of one of them. One woman said to
her companion: `The wolf has taken your son.’ The other said: `It has
taken your son.’ So both of them took the dispute to Prophet Dawud
(David) (PBUH) who judged that the boy should be given to the older
lady. Then they went to Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon) (PBUH) son of Dawud
and put the case before him. Prophet Sulaiman said: `Give me a knife so
that I may cut the child into two and give one half to each of you.’
The younger woman said: `Do not do so; may Allah bless you! He is her
child.’ On that Prophet Sulaiman decided the case in favour of the
younger woman.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].”
“Commentary:
Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon) (PBUH) went to the depth of the matter by
wisdom bestowed by Allah and the power of decision using a device or a
trick as a method of discovering the truth. He used this trick to
discover the truth and not to evade it. Such a trick is not
forbidden in the law and there is no doubt in its being permitted.
However, those tricks which are used to avoid the law are a great sin
for which the Jews are well-known. May Allah save
us from such things.”
