Are the monkeys and pigs that exist nowadays humans who have been transformed?

 

Could you please tell me about monkeys. Are they humans who were turned into monkeys for disobeying Allahs commandments? if so which people were they and what did they do?

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

Maskh (transformation) refers to the changing of a person’s
exterior appearance. Allaah has told us in more than one place in the
Qur’aan that He transformed some of the Children of Israel into monkeys as a
punishment for their disobedience towards Allaah. Allaah says, addressing
the Children of Israel (interpretation of the meaning): 

“And indeed you knew those amongst you who transgressed in
the matter of the Sabbath (i.e. Saturday). We said to them: ‘Be you monkeys,
despised and rejected.’

So We made this punishment an example to their own and to
succeeding generations and a lesson to those who are Al-Muttaqoon (the
pious)”

[al-Baqarah 2:65-66] 

And Allaah tells us their story in more detail in Soorat al-A’raaf,
where He says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“And ask them (O
Muhammad) about the town that was by the sea; when they transgressed in the
matter of the Sabbath (i.e. Saturday): when their fish came to them openly
on the Sabbath day, and did not come to them on the day they had no Sabbath.
Thus We made a trial of them, for they used to rebel against Allaah’s
Command (disobey Allaah)

 And when a community among them said: ‘Why do you preach
to a people whom Allaah is about to destroy or to punish with a severe
torment?’ (The preachers) said: ‘In order to be free from guilt before your
Lord (Allaah), and perhaps they may fear Allaah.’

So when they forgot the reminders that had been given to
them, We rescued those who forbade evil, but with a severe torment We seized
those who did wrong because they used to rebel against Allaah’s Command
(disobey Allaah).

So when they exceeded the limits of what they were
prohibited, We said to them: ‘Be you monkeys, despised and rejected’”

[al-A’raaf 7:163-166] 

And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“Say: ‘O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do
you criticize us for no other reason than that we believe in Allaah, and in
(the Revelation) which has been sent down to us and in that which has been
sent down before (us), and that most of you are Faasiqoon [rebellious and
disobedient (to Allaah)]?’

Say (O Muhammad to the people of the Scripture): ‘Shall I
inform you of something worse than that, regarding the recompense from
Allaah: those (Jews) who incurred the Curse of Allaah and His Wrath, and
those of whom (some) He transformed into monkeys and swines, and those who
worshipped Taaghoot (false deities); such are worse in rank (on the Day of
Resurrection in the Hell-fire), and far more astray from the Right Path (in
the life of this world)’”

[al-Maa’idah 5:59-60] 

This transformation was a punishment from Allaah to them for
their doing that which Allaah had forbidden to them. This punishment was not
exclusively for the Children of Israel, rather the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us that the Hour will not begin until
such transformation happens among this ummah too. He issued this warning to
those who disbelieve in the divine decree (al-qadr), and those who drink
alcohol and listen to singing – we seek refuge with Allaah from that. 

Ibn Maajah (4059) narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood that
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Shortly
before the Hour begins, people will be transformed into monkeys and pigs,
swallowed up in the earth, and pelted with stones.” (Saheeh Ibn Maajah,
3280). 

Being swallowed up in the earth means that the earth will
split open and swallow up a person, house or city, just as Allaah caused the
earth to swallow Qaaroon and his household. Allaah says (interpretation of
the meaning); 

“So We caused the earth to swallow him”

[al-Qasas 28:81] 

Pelting with stones is
the same as Allaah did to the people of Loot. Allaah says (interpretation of
the meaning): 

“and rained down on them stones of baked clay”

[al-Hijr 15:74] 

Al-Tirmidhi (2152) narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “I heard the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say,
‘Among this ummah those who disbelieve in the divine decree (al-qadr)
will be wallowed up by the earth, transformed into monkeys and pigs or
pelted with stones.” (Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 1748). 

And al-Tirmidhi (2212) narrated from ‘Imraan ibn Husayn that
the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said: “Among this ummah, people will be transformed into monkeys and pigs,
swallowed up in the earth, and pelted with stones.” A man among the Muslims
said, “O Messenger of Allaah, when will that be?” He said, “When
singing-girls and musical instruments become widespread and wine is drunk.”
(Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 1802). 

These ahaadeeth indicate
that such transformations will happen in this ummah as a punishment for some
sins. So let the Muslim beware of doing anything that Allaah has forbidden.
Woe be to the one who provokes the anger, wrath and vengeance of Allaah. May
Allaah keep us all safe from the things that incur His punishment. 

But these monkeys and pigs that exist nowadays are not the
people from the earlier nations who were transformed, because Allaah does
not enable those who have been transformed to have offspring, rather He
causes them to die after being transformed, so they have no offspring. 

Muslim (2663) narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood said: “A
man said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, are the monkeys and pigs those who have
been transformed?’ The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said: ‘Allaah does not enable those who have been transformed to have
offspring or children. The monkeys and pigs existed before that.’” al-Nawawi
(may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “The Prophet’s words ‘The monkeys and
pigs existed before that’ means that they existed before the Children of
Israel were transformed, which indicates that they are not from among those
who were transformed.” 

And Allaah knows best. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad
and grant him peace.

How should a person fill his spare time?

 

I am suffering from the problem of too much spare time, because of which I have begun to feel very strange. My worship has become noticeably less, not because of anything that is distracting me but because I have become depressed. I am learning to memorize Qur’aan with a teacher but I am still in Juz’ ‘Amma (the 30th juz’). I memorize what is required of me, but I still have too much spare time. In an attempt to rid myself of depression I turn on the TV, but I hate it and I do not really want to watch it, but I sit in front of it for ten hours. Can you believe it – ten hours? And I used to watch it only a little. I don’t know. Please advise me as to how I may kill this spare time.

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

The blessing of time is one of the greatest blessings that
Allaah can bestow upon His slaves. Allaah even swears by time in some cases,
as He says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“By Al‑‘Asr (the time)”

[al-‘Asr 103:1] 

- because of the importance and blessing of time.  

And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said: “Make the most of five things before five others: life before
death, health before sickness, free time before becoming busy, youth before
old age, and wealth before poverty.” See Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 1077. 

But most people are unaware of the importance of this
blessing and are neglectful of their duties towards it, namely to fill it
with acts of gratitude and obedience towards Allaah. The Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There are two blessings which
many people do not make the most of and thus lose out: good health and free
time.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6412. 

Al-Teebi said: The
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) likened the Muslim
(who is accountable for his deeds) to a merchant who has capital and seeks
to make a profit whilst also preserving his capital. The way to do that is
to look for the right people to deal with and he himself will be honest and
will try to be smart lest he be cheated. Good health and free time are our
capital, and we should deal with Allaah with faith, striving against the
evil inclinations of our nafs and the enemy of religion i.e., the Shaytaan,
so that we may attain the best in this world and in the Hereafter. This is
similar to what is mentioned in the passage where Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning): 

“Shall I guide you to
a trade that will save you from a painful torment?”

[al-Saff 61:10] 

We should avoid following the dictates of the nafs and keep
away from the Shaytaan lest we lose both our capital and our profit. 

Fath al-Baari by Ibn Hajar. 

If time is so important,
then the Muslim should not have any free time, for he should be going from
one act of worship and obedience to another. If he cannot spend all his time
going from one act of obedience and worship to another then, he may spend
some of his time in permissible pursuits, in which he should ensure that his
intention is correct, so that he may earn reward thereby, as Mu’aadh (may
Allaah be pleased with him) said: “I get up and I sleep, and I hope for the
same when I sleep as I hope for when I get up.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari,
6923; Muslim, 1854. 

The problem that the sister is suffering from is caused by
several things: 

Firstly: she does not understand the value of time. This is
true of many people, as stated above. Even worse than that, by neglecting
this great blessing, her spare time has become something destructive, and
she regards it as an enemy that she wants to kill, but she does not realize
that she is killing herself.  

Secondly: she feels depressed. There is no doubt that wasting
one's time and one's life causes deep depression in man, because he feels
that he is like an animal that eats so it can sleep, and sleeps so it can
eat. Hence we see many disbelievers ended their life by suicide, after being
afflicted by depression and other incurable diseases – may Allaah keep us
safe and sound from that with which He has tested them. One of the primary
causes of depression is disobedience towards Allaah. Undoubtedly wasting
time watching TV leads a person to commit sin, such as watching and
listening to haraam things, wasting time, and other things caused by this
evil machine. The benefits that the sister gains by joining a halaqah for
memorizing Qur’aan are largely cancelled out, if not erased entirely, by
sitting in front of the TV. Just as good deeds erase bad deeds, bad deeds
cause good deeds to be lost. 

[You can refer to the
Books section of this website; in

Dealing with Worries and Stress you will find more details about the
causes of worry and how to overcome them. In
Dangers Facing the Home
you will find mention of some of the harmful effects of TV.] 

Thirdly:  

She has given up with
regard to time, and she has no determination to fill her time with
beneficial things. 

In order to solve this problem, the sister must strive to
achieve the following: 

1-    
Doing acts of worship such as
reciting dhikr and wird, praying, reading Qur’aan, fasting and thinking
about the signs and blessings of Allaah.

2-    
She should pay special
attention to the Qur’aan, since she says that she memorizes what is required
of her, then she has spare time that she kills by watching TV. Why doesn’t
she use that time to remember Allaah and read Qur’aan, and memorize more so
that she can memorize the whole Qur’aan, before she becomes burdened with
the responsibilities of life. For (reading) each letter is a hasanah, and
each hasanah brings a tenfold reward. And each verse raises one in status
and increases one’s reward, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “Read and rise (in status), for as you used to
recite in this world, your position (in the Hereafter) will be determined by
the last verse you read.” Narrated by Abu Dawood, 1464; classed as saheeh by
al-Albaani in al-Saheehah, 2240.

3-    
Adopt a cause affecting Muslim
women in the country where you live, such as helping to teach Muslim girls,
undertaking charitable projects, and so on.

4-    
Find good and righteous friends
with whom you can meet and get together.

5-    
Read Islamic books in
particular and useful stories in general.

6-    
Get involved in da’wah, women’s
activities and children’s sports in Islamic centres.

7-    
Listen to tapes and lectures,
and write summaries which you can distribute to those who will benefit from
them.

8-    
Learn some useful areas of
worldly knowledge such as cooking, sewing, etc.

9-    
Learn about computers and
useful programs, for this is a vast area which will take up a lot of time
and can be used to do a lot of good and useful things. This will take you
away from sitting in front of the TV which does not help you in any way, and
does more harm than good.

10-You should read some
books which speak of the importance of time and how to manage it; listen to
some useful lectures on this topic too. 

May Allaah help you and us to do all that is good. 

He does not allow his wife to appear in front of his brothers

 

My brother got married approximately two years ago, and during this time he has forbidden his wife to appear in front of his brothers, even in hijab, or to speak to them when they visit him. Until now we have no idea what she looks like and we have not spoken a single word to her. Is this permissible according to sharee’ah or is it extreme?.

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

A woman has to cover her entire body, including the face,
from men who are strangers to her (i.e., non-mahrams). She should observe
hijab even more strictly in front of her husband’s male relatives who are
not mahrams for her than in front of strangers. This is the opposite of what
most careless people do nowadays. The Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said, when one of his companions wanted an exception to
allow the husband’s relatives to enter upon his wife: “The in-law is death.”
So we must be more cautious with regard to the husband’s relatives –
including his brothers – because of the carelessness that exists with regard
to this matter.

 Your brother has done well by not allowing his wife to
appear in front of you, and she has done well by obeying the command of
Allaah and of her husband. This is not extremism at all; rather it is
obedience to the command of Allaah. There is no need for the husband’s
brothers to see his wife, let alone sit with her and talk to her. 

Those scholars who said it is permissible for a woman to sit
with her husband’s relatives only allowed it on condition that there is no
suspicion attached to that and that she does not sit alone with one of them,
or there is no listening to songs or watching haraam things on the part of
either of them. Unfortunately such things happen in most people’s
gatherings. If the gathering is free of the above-mentioned evils and haraam
things and the woman observes full hijab, then it is permissible for her to
sit with them and speak to them, so long as she is not soft in speech. But
it is still better and more on the safe side for her not to do that, and
this is what your brother has done, so that hearts may remain pure and free
of the traps by which the Shaytaan ensnares people. 

What your brother has done should not have any effect on your
relationship with him or on the relationship of your wives with his wife.
They are doing something good and acting in accordance with Islam. You
should try to get close to them and learn from them in the way they deal
with people. You should note that your brothers’ criticizing their brother
for concealing his wife from them and not letting her sit with them makes
one have suspicions about them. In sha Allaah they are not that type of
people, but the Shaytaan may make something appear attractive to a man so
that what is good becomes bad to him, and what is bad becomes good, so he
regards covering and modesty as extremism and laxity as trust and progress.

We ask Allaah to purify our hearts and bodies, and to bring
you together in a good way, and to reconcile between you, and to make you a
good example to other people.

Ruling on cosmetic surgery

 

I want to ask about cosmetic surgery on the nose – is it haraam, especially since it causes me psychological distress and affects my life, and the doctors have also said that I need surgery?.

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

Cosmetic surgery may be divided into two categories: 

1 – Essential surgery: 

These are operations that are done to remove faults, such as
those that result from sickness, traffic accidents, burns, etc. or to remove
congenital defects with which a person was born, such as to remove an extra
digit or separate fused digits, etc. 

This kind of operation is permissible. There is evidence in
the Sunnah to indicate that they are permissible and that the one who does
them does not intend to change the creation of Allaah. 

(i)               
It was narrated from ‘Arfajah
ibn As’ad that he lost his nose in the battle of al-Kulaab during the
Jaahiliyyah, so he wore a nose made of silver but it became putrid, so the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told him to wear a
nose made of gold. Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1770; Abu Dawood, 4232;
al-Nasaa’i, 5161. This hadeeth was classed as hasan by Shaykh al-Albaani in
Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 824.

(ii)             
It was narrated that
‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursing those women who pluck their
eyebrows and file their teeth for the purpose of beautification and change
the creation of Allaah. Narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim. 

Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 

With regard to the phrase “those who file their teeth”, this
refers to those who did that for the purpose of beautification and looking
younger. This indicates that what is haraam is that which is done for the
purpose of beautification; but if it is needed for medical treatment or to
correct a fault in the teeth and so on, there is nothing wrong with it. And
Allaah knows best. 

2 – The second type of cosmetic surgery is that which is done
for the purpose of beautification. 

These are operations that are done to improve the appearance
in the eye of the beholder, such as making the nose look more beautiful by
making it smaller, or making the breasts look more beautiful by making them
smaller or larger, or facelifts, and so on. 

This kind of surgery is not for any necessary reason, rather
the purpose is to change the creation of Allaah and tinker with it according
to people’s whims and desires. So this is haraam and it is not permissible
to do it, because it is changing the creation of Allaah. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning): 

“They (all those who worship others than Allaah) invoke
nothing but female deities besides Him (Allaah), and they invoke nothing but
Shaytaan (Satan), a persistent rebel!

118. Allaah cursed him. And he [Shaytaan (Satan)] said: ‘I
will take an appointed portion of your slaves.

119. ‘Verily, I will mislead them, and surely, I will
arouse in them false desires; and certainly, I will order them to slit the
ears of cattle, and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by
Allaah’”

[al-Nisa’ 4:117-119] 

The Shaytaan is the one who tells people to change the
creation of Allaah. 

See: Ahkaam al-Jaraahah al-Tibbiyyah by Shaykh
Muhammad al-Mukhtaar al-Shanqeeti. 

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have
mercy on him) was asked: 

What is the ruling on cosmetic surgery? What is the ruling on
learning the science of beautification? 

He replied: 

Cosmetic procedures are of two types: 

1 – Those which are done to remove a fault resulting from an
accident etc. There is nothing wrong with that because the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) gave permission to a man whose
nose had been cut off in battle to wear a nose made of gold. 

2 – Those which are unnecessary and are not done to remove a
fault but rather to increase beauty. This is haraam and is not permissible,
because the Messenger of Allaah (S) cursed women who pluck eyebrows, those
who have their eyebrows plucked, those who fix hair extensions, those who
have hair extensions done, those who do tattoos and those  who have tattoos
done, because that is done as an enhancement and is not done to remove
faults. 

With regard to the
medical student who learns about cosmetic surgery during the course of his
studies, there is nothing wrong with him learning that, but he should not do
that in haraam cases, rather he should advise those who ask for that to
avoid it because it is haraam. Perhaps if this advice comes from the lips of
a doctor it will have more effect on a person. 

Fataawa Islamiyyah, 4/412. 

See also the answer to question no.
1006. 

In conclusion: 

If there is some defect in the nose and the purpose of the
cosmetic surgery is to remove that defect, then there is nothing wrong with
that. 

But if the purpose is simply to make it more beautiful then
it is not permissible to do this surgery. 

And Allaah knows best.

causes of apathy and the remedy for that

 

What is the best solution for apathy in faith after a person used to fear Allaah, then he became apathetic and can no longer read Qur’aan?.

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

There are several causes
of apathy and before dealing with the problem we have to pause and find out
the cause. There are several ways of finding out the cause and dealing with
apathy. 

Some of these causes are: a weak relationship with Allaah,
laziness in worship, keeping company with careless people, being distracted
by this world and its delights, and not thinking about the end of this world
and the consequences of being ill-prepared to meet Allaah. 

As for how to treat the Muslim who has been afflicted by
apathy in worship, there are several ways of doing so including the
following: 

1 – Strengthening his relationship with his Lord, by reading
the Qur’aan and pondering its meanings, realizing the greatness of Allaah by
seeing the greatness of His Book, thinking about the greatness of His names
and attributes and actions. 

2 – Regularly offering naafil prayers and persisting in doing
so, even if they are few, because one of the greatest causes of the Muslim
becoming apathetic is when he starts to do acts of worship and does a great
deal in the beginning. This is not the way of the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) and is not what he advised his ummah to do.
‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) described his actions as ongoing,
i.e., not interrupted or infrequent. And the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us that, “The most beloved of actions
to Allaah are those which are done persistently, even if they are little.”
If a Muslim wants not to be afflicted by apathy, then let him strive to do a
small action persistently, because this is better than doing a lot
infrequently. 

3 – Striving to keep company with righteous and active
people. A man who is energetic (in worship and Islamic activities) will make
you more active and lazy people do not like active companions. So look for
active friends who strive to memorize Qur’aan, seek knowledge and call
people to Allaah. Friends like that will encourage you to worship and will
show you the way to good things. 

4 – Read books that tell the stories of active people so that
you will have good examples in your journey towards Allaah. For example,
‘Uluw al-Himmah by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ismaa’eel al-Muqaddim; Salaah
al-Ummah fi ‘Uluw al-Himmah by Shaykh Sayyid ‘Afaani. 

5 – We advise you to
make du’aa’, especially in the latter part of the night. The one who turns
to his Lord and seeks His help to remain steadfast in worshipping Him and to
worship Him well will never be let down.

We ask Allaah to help
you to do that which pleases Him and to guide you to the best attitudes,
words and deeds. 

And Allaah knows best.

He married her on the basis that he would come back to his country after a certain amount of time, then he decided not to go back

 

A man came to propose marriage to me, and he was working in another country. He agreed with my father that I would travel with him after marriage and stay there with him for no more than three years, and we would come back together after that time was up. I actually did marry him and I traveled with him, and I have two children. Three years went by, and when I asked him to go back, based on the agreement, he went mad and told me that he will never go back; he has migrated and I have to accept this situation. In addition to that, he is a man who does not help me to obey Allaah. He brought a satellite dish into our home and he leaves me alone all day feeling lonely in this foreign land, and I cannot resist watching it. Also, he does not allocate any time to spend with me and relieve my loneliness. All his time is spent at his work or with his friends. When I realized that I could not stand to put up with this situation for the rest of my life, I decided to go back to Egypt and never come back and delegate my affairs to Allaah with regard to this bad marriage. But the problem is that he is accusing me of being a wife who does not obey him and of being disobedient, and he tells me that Allaah will punish me on the Day of Resurrection because I went against my husband’s commands.


 Am I really a disobedient wife, or does the fact that he did not adhere to the agreement on the basis of which I married him exonerate me from any blame?.

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

Firstly: 

The Muslim is obliged to adhere to the conditions that he set
and to fulfil his promises. Among the conditions that are most deserving of
fulfillment are those by means of which it becomes permissible for a man to
enjoy intimacy with his wife, namely the conditions of marriage. 

Al-Bukhaari (2821) and
Muslim (1418) narrated that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The conditions that most deserve to
be fulfilled are those by means of which it becomes permissible for you to
enjoy intimacy.” 

Ibn Qudaamah said in al-Mughni (7/448): 

The conditions of marriage fall into three categories: 

1 – Those which must be fulfilled, which are those which
benefit the wife, such as the condition that he will not make her leave her
house or city, or make her travel with him (i.e., take her to another
country). 

These must be fulfilled. If the husband does not do that then
the wife has the right to annul the marriage, because the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The conditions that most
deserve to be fulfilled are those by means of which it becomes permissible
for you to enjoy intimacy.” End quote. 

It is essential to differentiate between that which the
husband stated as a condition in the marriage, and a promise that he made
after the marriage contract was done. If it was a condition of marriage
(i.e., the marriage contract was done on the basis of this condition), then
the wife has the choice of waiving that condition or of annulling the
marriage, if her husband does not fulfil this condition. In this case she
should be given her rights in full. 

If it was a promise that he made after marriage, then he has
to fulfil his promise if he does not have an excuse. But the wife does not
have the right to annul the marriage if he does not fulfil it. This is the
ruling on this situation. 

We advise the husband to fulfil the condition and to keep his
promise, or to ask for his wife’s consent to waive the condition or to delay
fulfillment of the promise until a later, stated time. He has to fear Allaah
with regard to his wife and not bring haraam things and haraam entertainment
into the house. 

The sister who asked this question should be more patient and
put up with it. She should also try to get wise people from her family and
from his to intervene, in order to resolve the differences between them. 

Secondly:  

The husband has made a serious mistake by bringing the
satellite dish into the home and enabling his wife to see all the sinful
content that the dish brings. The one whom Allaah has put in charge of
others should be sincere towards them and not be negligent or heedless in
his duties towards them. 

Thirdly: 

The sister made a mistake, because she is not forced to look
at the evil scenes brought by the dish, and her being alone is no excuse.
She can occupy herself by worshipping Allaah, keeping company with righteous
women, doing permissible things, and reading and listening to things that
will benefit her in both her religious and worldly affairs.

What is the ruling in a case where the fiancée puts the condition that there should be a dog in the marital home?

 

Praise be to Allaah.

We put this question to Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Jibreen, may Allaah preserve him, who replied as follows:

This is an invalid condition, and if he has got married on this
condition, he does not have to fulfil it.
