From Soorah al-Asr (103: 1-3) we learn that all of mankind is in a state of loss and destruction, EXCEPT for those possessing all of the following qualities (SELECT ALL THAT APPLY):

Those who truly believe (In Allaah, in His Tawheed, in the pillars of Eemaan, etc.)

Those who have a great amount of wealth

Those who are poor

Those who perform many actions, even though the actions may be based upon ignorance (but at least have a good intention behind it)

Those who perform righteous deeds (sincerely for Allaah, and in accordance to the Sunnah)

Those who advise each other to go to extremes in the religion

Those who advise each other to the truth

Those who advise each other to patience

Those who advise each other to be lackadaisical, lazy in their practice of the religion

Sincerity to Allaah and following the Sunnah are required from the servants in...

their acts of worship

their manners

their political matters

their economic matters

in all of the above (all aspects of one's life)

The people of true Eemaan can expect to be tested by Allaah (عز وجل) ...

with more than they have the ability to bear

in accordance to the level of their eemaan (faith)

with nothing, because the Believers are never tested after becoming Muslim

FILL IN THE RED BLANK in the following excerpt from an authentic hadeeth (collected by Imam at-Tirmidhee, rahimahullaah):

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَىُّ النَّاسِ أَشَدُّ بَلاَءً قَالَ
‏ "‏ ______ ثُمَّ الأَمْثَلُ فَالأَمْثَلُ فَيُبْتَلَى الرَّجُلُ عَلَى حَسَبِ دِينِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ دِينُهُ صُلْبًا اشْتَدَّ بَلاَؤُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي دِينِهِ رِقَّةٌ ابْتُلِيَ عَلَى حَسَبِ دِينِهِ فَمَا يَبْرَحُ الْبَلاَءُ بِالْعَبْدِ حَتَّى يَتْرُكَهُ يَمْشِي عَلَى الأَرْضِ مَا عَلَيْهِ خَطِيئَةٌ ‏"‏

Mus'ab bin Sa'd narrated from his father that a man said:
"O Messenger of Allah (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace)! Which of the people is tried most severely?"

He (صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم) said: "____________, then those most similar to them, then those most similar to them. A man is tried according to his religion; if he is firm in his religion, then his trials are more severe, and if he is frail in his religion, then he is tried according to the strength of his religion. The servant shall continue to be tried until he is left walking upon the earth without any sins."

الأَنْبِيَاءُ : the Prophets

قرني : My generation (referring to the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم)

الصادقين : the truthful people

الكذابين : the liars

الفجار : The wicked people

After mentioning Soorah al-'Asr, the author, stated:

---

.قال الشافعي رحمه الله تعالى : لو ما أنزل الله حجة على خلقه إلا هذه السورة لكفتهم

(Imam) Ash Shaafi’ee, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said: “If Allaah had sent down to His creation no other proof besides this Soorah, it would have been sufficient for them.”

---

Why did Imam Ash-Shafi'ee say that?

Because Soorah al-'Asr comprises the fundamental principles of the religion: Knowledge about Allaah, righteous actions, dawah, and patience. These fundamental matters are connected to all parts of the religion.

Because Soorah al-'Asr mentions in detail many of the Islamic rulings (such as how many rakahs are in Dhuhr salah, how to take witnesses for financial transactions, the laws of inheritance, and the like)

Because Soorah al-'Asr is a relatively short Soorah

This statement was actually a mistake from Imam Ash-Shafiee, (رحمه الله) , and should not be considered. And remember Imam Ash-Shafi'ee stated: "If you find in my writings something different to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam), then speak on the basis of the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam), and leave what I have said."

After bringing the statement of Imam Ash-Shaf'iee, the author, (رحمه الله), mentions a chapter heading that Imam al-Bukhari (رحمه الله) , brought in his Saheeh. What was that chapter?

باب كَيْفَ كَانَ بَدْءُ الْوَحْىِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم - Chapter: How the Divine Revelation started being revealed to Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم

باب مَا جَاءَ فِي دُعَاءِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أُمَّتَهُ إِلَى تَوْحِيدِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَلَى - Chapter: What has come regarding the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) inviting his followers to Tawheed of Allaah

باب ذِكْرِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَرِوَايَتِهِ عَنْ رَبِّهِ - Chapter: What the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) mentioned and narrated of his Lord’s Sayings

باب التَّسْمِيَةِ عَلَى الطَّعَامِ وَالأَكْلِ بِالْيَمِينِ - Chapter: Mention the Name of Allah on starting to eat, and eat with the right hand.

باب القول والعمل قبل العلم - Chapter: Statements and actions should come before knowledge

باب العلم قبل القول والعمل - Chapter: Knowledge comes before statements and actions

What are some of the virtues of seeking knowledge of the deen? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY

One will be free to debate with scholars in front of the laymen

One's acts of worship will be performed correctly, according to the Sunnah, by the Permission of Allaah

One will know to say "I don't know" and "Allaah knows best" when coming across a matter that is beyond their knowledge

One will find sweetness in their acts of worship

It is a shortcut to attaining wealth and status

One will be performing one of the greatest acts of worship (as seeking knowledge of the deen is from the greatest acts of worship)

One will be from the elite few who, when asked a question above their level, don't have to say "I don't know." Because if a seeker of knowledge answers a question beyond his knowledge, he still gets one reward, even if he's wrong. And if he so happens to be right, he gets two rewards.

One will have a fiqh madhab named after him after his death

One will know that it is more important to get the reward of being in the front row of the masjid, even if that means totally abandoning the circles of knowledge
