VERY IMPORTANT HADITH
“That which is Halaal is clear and that which is Haraam is clear, and between the two of them are ambiguous (mutashabihat) matters about which many people do not know. Thus he who avoids ambiguous matters clears himself in regard to his religion and his honour, but he who falls into ambiguous matters (eventually) falls into that which is Haraam, like the shepherd who pastures around a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Truly every king has a sanctuary, and truly Allaah’s sanctuary is His prohibitions. Truly in the body there is a morsel of flesh, which, if it be whole, all the body is whole, and which, if it is diseased, all of (the body) is diseased. Truly, it is the heart.”
[Related by al-Bukhaari and Muslim.
Explanation of Hadeeth
* That those things which are Haraam are clear and need clear evidence.
* That one who does ambiguous things may well be doing what is Haraam.
* That it is difficult to live honorably when doing the ambiguous.
* That Allaah is the King; The King of kings.
* That it is understandable that Allaah should have things prohibited for us.
* That the sanctuary of Allaah which we must not enter is all those things which He has made Haraam for us. Thus we must know what is Haraam and definitely avoid them.
* That doing the ambiguous or what is forbidden adversely affects the heart.
* That it is important to make and keep the heart pure, since it affects the rest of us. Thus we should look for ways to purify and preserve our hearts from being stained.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
