No person should be alone with a woman except when there is a mahram -muslim

Ibn 'Abbas (RadhiAllahu 'anhuma) reported:

I heard Allah's Messenger ﷺ delivering a sermon and making this observation:

"No person should be alone with a woman except when there is a mahram with her, and the woman should not undertake journey except with a mahram."

A person stood up and said: Allah's Messenger ﷺ, my wife has set out for pilgrimage, whereas I am enlisted to fight in such and such battle,

whereupon he ﷺ said:" You go and perform Hajj with your wife."

A commander (of the Muslims) is a shield for them

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radhi-Allahu 'anhu) that the Prophet of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

A commander (of the Muslims) is a shield for them. They fight behind him and they are protected by (him from tyrants and aggressors). If he enjoins fear of God, the Exalted and Glorious, and dispenses justice, there will be a (great) reward for him; and if he enjoins otherwise, it redounds on him.

A Prophet, a Siddiq and Two Martyrs

Narrated Anas (Radhi-Allahu 'anhu):

the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) ascended the (mountain) of Uhud with Abu Bakr and 'Uthman and it shook. The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

Distinction of those wounded while fighting in the way of Allah

Best Deeds in Islam after having Faith in Allah swt and His Messenger (pbuh)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was asked, "Which deed is the best?'' He (PBUH) replied,

"Faith in Allah and His Messenger.'' He (PBUH) was asked, "What is next?'' He (PBUH) replied, "Jihad (holy fighting) in the Cause of Allah.'' Then he was asked: "What is after that (in goodness)?'' He (PBUH) replied, "Hajj Mabrur (which is accepted by Allah).''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]


Commentary:
Different acts have been regarded more meritorious in different Ahadith. For this reason, some scholars have performed the justification that the word mun "whoever" is the keynote in such cases. That is, such and such acts come in the category of eminent acts or they have been mentioned with reference to circumstances and time or place. For instance, at certain times or at certain places or for certain persons, performing Salat in the early prescribed hours is more meritorious, or Hajj through representative or Jihad is more meritorious, etc.

Some scholars are of the opinion that the eminence of different acts has been stressed keeping the person addressed in view.

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh): Some gates of Jannah (Paradise) in Islam

Abu Hurairah (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

"He who spends a pair in the way of Allah will be called from the gates of Jannah:

`O slave of Allah! This gate is better for you' and one who is constant in Salat (prayer), will be called from the Gate of Salat;

and whoever is eager in fighting in the Cause of Allah, will be called from the Gate of Jihad;

and who is regular in observing Saum will be called from Ar-Raiyan Gate.

The one who is generous in charity will be called from the Gate of Charity.''


Abu Bakr (Radhiallahu anhu) said:"O Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam)! May my mother and father be sacrificed for you! Those who are called from these gates will stand in need of nothing. Will anybody be called from all of those gates?''

He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) replied, "Yes, and I hope that you will be one of them.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]


Commentary:
"Pair'' means two; in other channels of transmission, it has been explained thus: "They asked him, `Pair of what?' He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, `A pair of horses, cows or camels'.'' "Pair'' in this Hadith, however, can be all-inclusive; i.e., fasting two days or performing two prayers, etc. This Hadith also mentions special distinction of Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (Radhiallahu anhu) and the esteem in which he was held by the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam). It also transpires from this Hadith that one can praise such a person right on his face about whom one does not fear that it will make him proud. This Hadith has also an inducement for giving in Sadaqah two instead of a single item.

The best Jihad for women is 'Hajj Mabrur'

`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:

I said: "O Messenger of Allah! We consider Jihad as the best deed, should we not then go for Jihad?''

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "The best Jihad for you women is Hajj Mabrur (i.e., one accepted by Allah).''

[Al-Bukhari].

Commentary:
In ordinary circumstances, Hajj is the best of Jihad for women because in Islam, politics, economy, government, military affairs etc., come in the purview of men and men alone. Women are exempted from all such matters. However, in case of war, if the need arises, women can be engaged for supply of food, first-aid of the wounded etc., on the internal front, provided they can do such works without crossing the bounds of the Islamic-type veil. But imparting military training to women and dispatching them to war front are sheer imitations of the western nations for which there is no scope in the teachings of Islam. This Hadith also confirms this view.

Jihad And Martyrdom Without Fighting

Abu Hurairah (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said: "Whom do you reckon to be martyr amongst you?''

The Companions replied: "The one who is killed in Allah's way.''

He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "In that case, the martyrs among my people would be few.''

The Companions asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Then who are the martyrs?''

He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) replied, "He who is killed in the way of Allah is a martyr; he who dies naturally in the Cause of Allah is a martyr; he who dies of plague is a martyr; and he who dies of a belly disease is a martyr; and he who is drowned is a martyr.''

[Muslim]

This Hadith shows the care Allah has for this Ummah, which is the best Ummah of mankind. (Editor's Note)


Commentary:
"He who dies naturally in the Cause of Allah'', here signifies such a person who does not die because of his being killed in the war by sword, lance, bullet, etc., but meets the death on account of some other causes while going for Jihad such as falling from the horse, or who dies while defending his family or property, or defending other Muslims against attackers or robbers, etc. Such a person will also be a martyr.
