Sifa Njema za Uislamu
The Merits Of Islam
Uislamu unawaagiza watu sifa zote za utukufu, heshima, na maadili ya msingi ambayo yamepotea katika jamii nyingi za leo.
Islam enjoins upon mankind all traits of nobility, honor, and core values lost in much of today’s society.
❖ Kuwaheshimu Wazazi: "Wafanyieni wema na uwe wawatii wazazi wenu." (Qur'an, Sura 6, Aya 151).
❖ Honoring the Parents: “Be good and dutiful to your parents.” (Quran, Chapter 6, Verse 151).
❖ Wema kwa Wanawake: "Na ishi nao (mke) kwa wema." (Qur'an, Sura 4, Aya 19) Mtume Muhammad ﷺ alisema: "Bora kati yenu ni yule aliye bora kwa mkewe."
❖ Kindness to Women: “And live with them (the wife) in kindness.” (Quran, Chapter 4, Verse 19) Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “The best of you is the one who is best to his wife.”.
❖ Haki za Wanawake: Mtume Muhammad ﷺ alisema: "Wanawake ni nusu pacha za wanaume; wana haki kama vile wanaume walivyo nazo."
❖ Women’s Rights: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Women are the twin halves of men; they have rights just as men have rights.” .
❖ Utofauti katika Uislamu: Uislamu unaiona tofauti ya lugha, makabila na rangi za watu kama ishara ya uwezo wa Muumba, wala si chanzo cha mgawanyiko. "Na katika ishara Zake ni kuumbwa mbingu na ardhi, na kutofautiana lugha zenu na rangi zenu." (Qur'ani, Sura ya 30, Aya ya 22).
❖ Diversity in Islam: Islam views the diversity of man’s languages, ethnicities, and races as a sign of the Creator’s power; not a source of division. “And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and your colors.” (Quran, Chapter 30, Verse 22).
❖ Usawa wa Rangi: Uchamungu ndio sifa inayomfanya mtu awe mtukufu machoni pa Mungu, si kabila wala rangi ya ngozi. Mtume Muhammad ﷺ alisema: “Enyi watu, hakika Mola wenu ni Mmoja, na baba yenu (Adam) ni mmoja. Hakuna ubora kwa Mwarabu juu ya asiye Mwarabu, wala kwa asiye Mwarabu juu ya Mwarabu, wala kwa mtu mweupe juu ya mtu mweusi, wala kwa mtu mweusi juu ya mtu mweupe, isipokuwa kwa uchamungu.”.
❖ Racial Equality: Piety is the quality that makes a person noble in the sight of God, not race or skin color. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “O mankind, indeed your Lord is One, and your fa ther (Adam) is one. There is no superiority for an Arab over a non Arab or for a non-Arab over an Arab, or for a white person over a black person or for a black person over a white person, except in terms of piety.”.
❖ Heshima kwa Wazee: Nabii Muhammad ﷺ
❖ Respect for the Elderly: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
Alisema, "Yeye si miongoni mwetu, wale wasioonyesha huruma kwa vijana wetu na wasiowaheshimu wazee wetu."
said, “He is not one of us, those who do not show mercy to our youth and respect our elderly.”.
❖ Kumtunza Mjane: Mtume Muhammad ﷺ
❖ Caring for the Widow: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
Alisema, "Mwenye kuwahudumia mjane na maskini ni kama mwenye kufunga mchana kutwa na kusimama kuswali usiku kucha."
said, “The one who looks after a widow and a poor person is like the one who fasts the entire day and stands in prayer the entire night.”.
❖ Wema kwa Majirani: Nabii Muhammad ﷺ amesema, "Yeyote anayemwamini Allah na Siku ya Mwisho, asimdhuru jirani yake." ❖ Wema kwa Wanyama: Nabii Muhammad ﷺ
❖ Kindness to Neighbors: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him not an noy his neighbor.” ❖ Kindness to Animals: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
Alikataza kutumia wanyama kama viti, kuwapiga, au kuwatia alama usoni. Uislamu unaruhusu uwindaji kwa ajili ya chakula, lakini unakataza kuwatumia wanyama kama shabaha ya mazoezi kwa ajili ya burudani tu.
forbade using animals as chairs, beating them, or branding them in the face. Islam allows hunting for food while forbidding us to use animals as target practice for mere sport.
❖ Haki katika Biashara: Uislamu unakataza kuhodhi chakula au bidhaa wakati wa dhiki kisha kumtoza mlaji bei iliyopandishwa. Mtume Muhammad ﷺ alisema: "Anayehodhi ni mwenye dhambi."
❖ Fairness in Business: Islam forbids hoarding food or merchandise during times of distress then charging the consumer an inflated price. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever hoards is a sinner.”.
❖ Heshima kwa Wafu: Uislamu unakataza kuwatukana wafu. Mtume Muhammad ﷺ alisema: "Msiwatukane wafu kwa kuwadhuru walio hai kwa njia hiyo."
❖ Respect for the Dead: Islam forbids insulting the dead. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Do not vilify the dead and by way of that harm the living.”.
Uislamu unaamuru ukweli, usafi, unyenyekevu, adabu ya kiasi, kutekeleza ahadi, heshima, haki, ushujaa, kuridhika, usafi wa moyo na mwili (kujiepusha na zinaa), subira, shukrani, na kujizuia wakati wa hasira.
Islam enjoins truthfulness, cleanliness, humility, modesty, keeping promises, dignity, justice, courage, contentment, chastity, forbearance, gratitude, and self-control in times of anger.
