Dear Parents and Students:

The following study guide has been developed for the purpose of aiding you with the study of Islamic History and to implement the basic fundamentals taught to us according to Quran wa Sunnah and that of the path of the Salaf. Your textbook is needed, Revised Edition ISBN: 9960899551  - Ar-Raheeq al-Makhtum: The Sealed Nectar by Safiur Rahman al-Mubarakpuri. This guide is for online course studies only; where we provide the student an emphasis on the significance for the past events that will be discussed throughout the course, providing an insight on how these events have affected the lives of present and future cultures, while making an existing connection to Islam inshaAllah.

We have found throughout the past years, that it is necessary to teach our children history based on an Islamic perspective ? with the intent of weeding out false concepts. May Allah grant us success with this effort in all areas of education aameen  

Students, with the use of this study guide, will gain multiply opportunities to access diverse activities based upon authentic resources from Islam. These resources include connections for historical concepts, geography, and multicultural perspectives. Students are actively engaged in the critical thinking skills process. Essay writing and research papers are encouraged throughout the course.

It is our hope that these study guides provide students with the truth regarding Islamic history and those who have relayed that history to us. We appreciate your comments and positive feedback and pray, that Allah ta`ala will accept this action from us as something good on the Day of Judgment.

In addition, students will find very detailed accounts of history on Abu Khadeejah's (hafidhullah) website here:

Hadith: (About the Stars). From Surah Al-Anam: 97 

Abu Qatadah mentioned Allah?s statement: ?And indeed we have adorned the nearest heaven 

with lamps,? (67:5) and said, ?The creation of these stars is for three purposes, 

1. As decoration of the nearest heaven 

2. As missiles to hit the devils 

3. And as signs to guide travelers 

So if, anybody tries to find a differing interpretation, he is mistaken and waste just efforts, and 

troubles himself with what is beyond his limited knowledge.?  

Sahih Bukhari, Chapter 3 ?The beginning of Creation?

Is the Earth round or flat- Print Out

Is the Earth round or flat?

Question: The following letter reached the program (broadcast program) from Kenya, sent by our brother, the student, Ibraheem Muhammad Al-Awwal. The brother says, "I heard the program Nurun 'alad-Darb (A Light upon the Path) and I benefited greatly from it. Therefore, I wanted to send these questions to you all because their topics are very perplexing to me. The first is: Is the earth round or flat?"

Response: According to the people knowledge (scholars of Islaam) the earth is round, for indeed Ibn Hazm and a group of other scholars mentioned that there is a consensus (unanimous agreement, Ijmaa') among the people of knowledge that it is round. This means that all of it is connected together thus making the form of the entire planet like a ball. However, Allaah has spread out surface for us and He has placed firm mountains upon it and placed the animals and the seas upon it as a mercy for us. For this reason, Allaah said:

{And (do they not look) at the Earth, how it was made FLAT (Sutihat)}, [Soorah al-Ghaashiyyah, Aayah 20]

Therefore, it (the Earth) has been made flat for us in regards to its surface, so that people can live on it and so that people can be comfortable upon it. The fact that it is round does not prevent that its surface has been made flat. This is because something that is round and very large, if it is made flat (its surface), then its surface will become very vast or broad (i.e. having a flat appearance). Yes."

Shaykh Ibn Baaz (rahimahullah)

“And let those who oppose the Messenger’s (Muhammad’s) commandment (i.e. his Sunnah legal ways, orders, acts of worship, statements) (among the sects) beware, lest some Fitnah (disbelief, trials, afflictions, earthquakes, killing, overpowered by a tyrant) should befall them or a painful torment be inflicted on them”

[an-Nur 24:63] 

Point of Benefit: Ibn Abi Dunya reported that anas bin Malik (radi allahu anhu) said: I went with another man to see Aisha (radi allahu anha), and he asked her:'O Mother of the Believers, tell us about earthquakes? She said: 'When they authorize fornication, drinking of wine, the use of musical instruments, Allah commands the earth; 'Tremble with them so that they might give up and repent.' Otherwise, He (Allah) would destroy it upon them.' The man asked: 'O mother of the believers, is it a punishment for them?' She replied 'Rather it is some advice and mercy for the believers, but a punishment and curse for the disbelievers.' ...

From the book Kitaabat Tawheed chapter 30

Aboo Maalik al Ash'aree (radiAllaahu anhu) that the Messenger of Allaah (salla Allaahu alaihi wa sallam) said:

There are four matters of jaahiliyyah present in my ummah (nation) which they will not leave: having pride on account of ahsaab (ancestry), and cursing lineage (of others), and attributing rain to the stars, and wailing over the dead.

*Points of Benefit -

1) Boasting of one’s ancestry – despite the fact that there is no honour except through taqwaa (fearing Allaah and being dutiful to him)

2) Belittling the lineage of others and finding fault with it
