This hadith is in the collection of Imam
Muslim with an authentic chain of narration by
Abu Huayra radiAllahu an. The, the prophet alayhis
salatu wasalam said,
Islam
began as a strange thing, and it will
return to being a strange thing the same
way it began. So blessed are those strangers.
So then he was asked, who are these
strangers? He said, those who fix and do
good, while the people are corrupted.
This hadith,
to an extent it applies to us. Because
here in the west, we are the strangers
when it comes to religion. Because there are
so few Muslims compared to all the other
religions.
Umar ibn Khattab one time, he heard a
man say, Allahum Majaliminibalikal
Khaleel. Oh, Allah make me from
from the few.
So Umar al Khalfab asked him, what do
you mean by this du'a? He said, I
got it from the aya.
Waqaleelum min abadiya shako. And very few of
my servants
are truly grateful.
So he's asking to be of this,
few amount of people that are truly grateful.
So here we see that the norm,
according to this ayah, is the norm is
to be ungrateful to Allah. This is what
the norm of the people are. And according
to the hadith at the beginning, the norm
is to be corrupted. Ilevinyushlihoona ilaha pasadan nas.
So the norm is to be corrupted.
So how do we know how to steer
away from this corruption, and from the people
that are ungrateful?
Ibrahim alayhis salaam,
in the Quran, when Allah wants to describe
him, a lot of times He describes him
with the word haneef.
What this word means, it comes from the
word Hanafah,
which means to lean.
He he uses this word to describe Ibrahim
because at the time of Ibrahim a lot
of people, majority of people actually, they were,
going in one way with their faith, which
was the way of shirk. So Ibrahim leaned
away from them and went back to Islam,
which is why Allah describes him as Hanif.
So and then in Surat Adi Imran, it
tells us, fittabi umilat Ibrahim Hanif ou'makaanamil mushrikeen
Follow the ways of Ibrahim, Hanif, and how
he leaned away from the people, and he
wasn't of the mushrikeen.
So how do we do this? This is
an order of Allah to follow the way
of Ibrahim in this sense.
So,
the way to do this is there's a
hadith, it's a very famous hadith
And this ummah, the Muslims will split into
73 sects. All of whom will go to
health, except for one group. Except for one
of these sects. So, before I go on,
I just wanna point out that even here
amongst the Muslims,
the ones that are going to heaven are
still considered a minority because it's 1 in
the 73.
Okay?
So how do we, so the sahaba asked
him, who are these people? So that we
can be a part of them. He said,
Those who follow,
the same path as me and the sahabah.
So this is the answer that we're looking
for. In order to be
Those who fix and do good while the
people are corrupted. And in order to be,
and very few of my servants are grateful,
in order to be a part of them,
and in order and and in order to
be haneefeen.
Like Ibrahim alaihi salaam, the answer is in
this hadith,
where it says,
Those who followed the same path as me
and the sahaba, which meaning the sunnah. Because
we get the sunnah from the prophet alayhis
salatu wa sallam, and the best followers of
the sunnah are the sahabah. So we have
our role model and the sahabah show us
how to follow this role model.
