Hadis 1 - 20

 Hadis 1:

‘Religion is sincerity.’ We said: ‘To whom?’ The Prophet said: ‘To Allah, his Book, his Messenger, the leaders of the Muslims and to their common people.’

Theme: 

This Hadis conveys us that Islam demands sincerity and faith. This sincerity is needed in the fundamental beliefs as well as towards the leaders and the members of the community. This means strong belief in Tawhid (oneness of God), the divine message of the Quran and the messenger of God who conveyed this Message to us. Also, the leader of the community, who follows the Quran and Sunnah, should be sincerely followed: “And obey God and obey the Messenger and those charged with authority among you.” (4:59)Finally, Muslims should believe in respecting and caring for the fellows in the community. 

Importance: 

Belief in Tawhid, Quran and the last Messenger is demonstrated by following the eternal guidance of the Quran and Sunnah. Muslims should observe the five pillars of Islam: “And establish regular prayer and pay the charity tax”As for cooperating with the leader of the community, Muslims should remember the speech of Abu Bakr on his election as caliph: “Help me if I am in the right, set me right if I am in the wrong” Similarly, sincerity towards fellows should be expressed by being kind, polite and respectful to them.
