Story of Hadith Jibril

• Hadith Jibril is one of the most important hadiths in Islam, narrated by Umar ibn Al-Khattab (RA).

• One day, the Angel Jibril (Gabriel) appeared in the form of a man and asked the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) about Islam, Iman (faith), Ihsan (spiritual excellence), the signs of the Day of Judgment, and destiny (Qadar).

• The Prophet (ﷺ) answered:

1. Islam – The five pillars: Shahada (faith), Salah (prayer), Zakat (charity), Sawm (fasting), Hajj (pilgrimage).

2. Iman – Belief in Allah, angels, books, prophets, the Day of Judgment, and divine destiny (Qadar).

3. Ihsan – Worshiping Allah as if you see Him, knowing He sees you.

4. Signs of the Day of Judgment – The rise of immorality, social corruption, and major global changes.

• After Jibril left, the Prophet (ﷺ) told his companions, “That was Jibril; he came to teach you your religion.”

• This hadith defines the core beliefs and practices of Islam and is considered foundational in Islamic teachings.

What is Islam?

• Islam means submission to Allah by following His commands and avoiding what He forbids.

• It is based on Tawhid (oneness of God), obedience, and good character.

• Islam is guided by the Qur’an and Sunnah, shaping a believer’s life in worship, morality, and social responsibilities.

• A Muslim must believe in the six articles of faith and practice the five pillars of Islam.

Understanding Surah Al-Baqarah (2:284-286)

Verse 284 – Allah’s Sovereignty

“To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. Whether you show what is in your hearts or hide it, Allah will call you to account for it. Then He will forgive whom He wills and punish whom He wills. And Allah has power over all things.”

• Lesson: Allah knows everything, including our thoughts and intentions, so we must strive for sincerity and righteousness.

Verse 285 – The Believers’ Faith

“The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, as do the believers. They all believe in Allah, His angels, His books, and His messengers, saying, ‘We make no distinction between any of His messengers.’ And they say, ‘We hear and we obey. (Grant us) Your forgiveness, our Lord. To You is the final return.’”

• Lesson: True believers accept all of Allah’s revelations and prophets, and they seek forgiveness while submitting fully to His commands.

Verse 286 – A Prayer for Ease

“Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear. It will have whatever (good) it has gained, and it will bear (the consequence of) what it has earned. (The believers pray): ‘Our Lord, do not take us to account if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, do not place a burden on us as You placed on those before us. Our Lord, do not make us bear what we cannot. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so help us against the disbelieving people.’”

• Lesson: Allah is merciful and does not give anyone hardships they cannot handle. This verse is a powerful supplication asking for Allah’s mercy, forgiveness, and strength to face challenges.

Echatology and ihsan

Islamic eschatology is the study of future events in Islam, such as the Day of Judgment and the destruction of the universe. It's based on the Quran and Sunnah.

What does Islamic eschatology include?

• Signs of the end times The emergence of the Dajjal (Anti-Christ), the descent of Jesus, and the rising of the sun from the west

• The Mahdi The Mahdi will rid the world of injustice and tyranny, and eventually kill the Dajjal

• The 12th Imam A hidden Imam will emerge to lead Muslims in a final conflict against Israel

• The return of Jesus Jesus will come again, defeat the Anti-Christ, and then die and be raised up   Ihsan is an Arabic word that means "to do good", "to do something in the best possible way", or "to do beautiful things". In Islam, it's a concept that refers to the highest level of faith, after Islam and Iman (faith).

How is ihsan practiced?

• Ihsan is a way of showing one's faith through actions and deeds.

• It involves performing one's duties and responsibilities to the best of one's ability.

• It involves a deep sense of sincerity and mindfulness in one's actions.

• It involves striving for excellence in worship and in all of one's deeds.

What does ihsan look like in practice?

• Ihsan is manifested in treating people with good character.

• It involves fulfilling one's obligations to Allah and His creatures.

• It involves adding extra good works.

• It involves picking one good habit and sticking with it until it becomes routine.

What are the differences between Islamic and biblical eschatology?

• Islamic eschatology envisions a global caliphate where Western civilization is used to establish dominance and submission to Allah

• Western and Islamic eschatological beliefs clash, which can hinder peace in the Middle East

What is eschatology in general?

Eschatology is the doctrine of the last things, including the end of history, the resurrection of the dead, and the Last Judgment.
