Explanation of the hadith prophesying Jerusalem as the future capital of the Khilafah

There are two similar hadith narrated in the book Tarikh Dimashiq (History of Damascus) by Ibn `Asakir al-Dimashqi al-Shafi`i al-Ash`ari (1106–1175) related to the future capitals of the Khilafah. These are: قَرَأْتُ بِخَطِّ أَبِي الْحُسَيْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرَّازِيِّ ، أنا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ جَوْصَا ، أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ مُوسَى بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، أَنْبَأَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، أَنْبَأَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ جَنَاحٍ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنَ مَيْسَرَةَ بْنِ حَلْبَسٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ” هَذَا الأَمْرُ كَائِنٌ بَعْدِي بِالْمَدِينَةِ ، ثُمَّ بِالشَّامِ ، ثُمَّ بِالْجَزِيرَةِ ، ثُمَّ بِالْعِرَاقِ ، ثُمَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ، ثُمَّ بِبَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ ، فَإِذَا كَانَ بِبَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَثَمَّ عُقْرُ دَارِهَا ، وَلَنْ يُخْرِجَهَا قَوْمٌ فَتَعُودَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَبَدًا “  . يَعْنِي بِقَوْلِهِ بِالْجَزِيرَةِ : أَمْرٌ مَرْوَانَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَمَّارَ ، وَبِقَوْلِهِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ : بَعْدَ الْعِرَاقِ ، يَعْنِي بِهِ الْمَهْدِيَّ يَخْرُجُ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ ، ثُمَّ يَنْتَقِلُ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ وَبِهَا يُحَاصِرُهُ الدَّجَّالُ ، وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “This matter (the Caliphate) will be after me in Madinah, then …

Tafseer: “If you help Allah, He will help you and make your feet firm.”

BY ABU YUSUF This article has been reproduced from Arabic Trench يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا إِن تَنصُرُوا اللَّهَ يَنصُركُم وَيُثَبِّت أَقدامَكُم وَالَّذينَ كَفَروا فَتَعسًا لَهُم وَأَضَلَّ أَعمالَهُم ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُم كَرِهوا ما أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأَحبَطَ أَعمالَهُم You who have iman! if you help  (in the cause of) Allah, He will help you and make your foothold firm. But those who are kafir will have utter ruin and He will make their actions go astray. That is because they hate what Allah has sent down, so He has made their actions come to nothing. (Muhammad, 47:7-9)

Tafseer Surah Asr

BY ABU YUSUF This article has been reproduced from Arabic Trench وَالْعَصْرِ إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ I swear by the time, Most surely man is in loss, Except those who believe and do good, and enjoin on each other truth, and enjoin on each other patience.   Introduction This chapter is placed between two other chapters that mention loss. In the previous chapter, Sura Al-Takathur, man is a loser because he was diverted by worldly gains until he visits the grave and he will then see hellfire (الْجَحِيمَ), and this is loss.

Tafseer Surah Saff: You who have iman! Why do you say what you do not do? It is deeply abhorrent to Allah that you should say what you do not do.

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا لِمَ تَقولونَ ما لا تَفعَلونَ كَبُرَ مَقتًا عِندَ اللَّهِ أَن تَقولوا ما لا تَفعَلونَ You who have iman! Why do you say what you do not do? It is deeply abhorrent to Allah that you should say what you do not do. (Surah Saff, 61:2-3) The following is a translation of Dr Fadhel al Samarrai’s Tafseer of Surah Saff.

Jerusalem is the capital of the future Caliphate

Yunus Ibn Maysarah relates that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, هَذَا الأَمْرُ كَائِنٌ بَعْدِي بِالْمَدِينَةِ ، ثُمَّ بِالشَّامِ ، ثُمَّ بِالْجَزِيرَةِ ، ثُمَّ بِالْعِرَاقِ ، ثُمَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ، ثُمَّ بِبَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ ، فَإِذَا كَانَ بِبَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَثَمَّ عُقْرُ دَارِهَا ، وَلَنْ يُخْرِجَهَا قَوْمٌ فَتَعُودَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَبَدًا “This matter (the Caliphate) will be after me in Madinah, then in Al-Sham, then in the peninsula, then in Iraq, then in the City (Constantinople), then in Bait ul-Maqdis (Jerusalem). If it is in Bait ul-Maqdis, its home country is there, and no people will be able to remove it, so it will return to them forever.” [Ibn Asakir, 368]

Egypt Mosque Massacre: “As for anyone who kills a believer deliberately, his repayment is Hell, remaining in it for ever.”

BY MOZZIMAL HUSSAIN, Revolution Observer Considerable confusion and scepticism surround the official version of the events of the 24th of November 2017. What is clear is that the al-Rawda mosque located in the northern portion of the Sinai peninsula was attacked by roughly 40 gunmen during Friday congregational prayers. It is also clear that the assailants who arrived in four or five pickups seemed, from the accounts of local residents, intent on maximizing the causalities of this attack.

The Grammatical Marvels of Sura Al-Kawthar

إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الْأَبْتَرُ Truly We have given you the Great Abundance. So pray to your Lord and sacrifice. It is the one who hates you who is cut off without an heir. (Surah al-Kawthar)
