Q:

1) I came across the following Hadith: " The son of Adam (alaih salam) has no better right than that hewould have a house wherein he may live and a piece of cloth whereby he may hide his nakedness and a piece of bread and some water".(Tirmidhi) While the literal meaning of this Hadith is obviously clear, I am not sure what the actual meaning is. Does it mean that if a person has basic needs of housing,clothes,food and water, then he should be content in his life and not have desire for more?Kindly shed light on this.

2) There is another Hadith: "My Sahaaba are like stars, whomever among them you follow, you will be guided.” Is this Hadith authentic?

Q: During the time of the Sahaba there was a girl who's husband had gone out for a few days and asked her not to leave the house. During those few days, the girl's father was sick and she really wanted to see him but had no contact with her husband to ask his permission. Eventually her father passed away and she didn't even attend his funeral as she couldn't disobey her husband's orders. She later found out that her father was doomed to Jahannum but because of her act of obeying her husband, her father was granted Jannah. Is this story true? What is the full story? Would it be a sin to tell anybody this story if it is not authentic?

Q: Suratul Ikhlaas! A man was walking and he saw this written on a wall: 'Qul huwa Allaahu ahad, Allahus Samad, Lam yalid WA lam youlad, Wa lam yakoul lahu koufuwan ahad.' So he sat and read it, while he was reading it a man was watching him and Came to him and said 'Do you know that you have got at least 470 hasanas (Blessings) just for reading this! The person who wrote this on the wall also got 470 hasanas; Even you (who is reading this mail) have 470 hasanas. And you don't even realised that you've read 1/3 of Quran, so press forward and let more people get 470 hasanas, and 1/3 of Quran. Don't forget, each time someone reads this mail and gets hasanat so do you. When there is only a single star left in the sky. At that very moment, the path of forgiveness will close. The writing in the Qur'an will vanish. The sun will lower itself with the earth. Prophet Muhammad SAW said, 'Who ever delivers this news to someone else, I will on the Day of Judgment make for him a place in Jannat.' Please pass this to every Muslim u know, if each muslim says Astaghfirullah wa atubu ilaih 3 times now and forward, in a few seconds billions will have said it and it may calm Allah's anger You've got nothing to loose so pass on. Jazakallah. Is the above authentic?

Q: I would like to know if the following Hadith is authentic? "The Imam who will create a world state will make the ruling nations pay for their crimes against society. He will bring succor to humanity... He will teach you simple living and high thinking. He will make you understand that virtue is a state of character which is always a mean between the two extremes, and which is based upon equity and justice. He will revive the teaching of the Holy Qur'an and the traditions of the Holy Prophet after the world has ignored them as dead letters.... He will protect and defend himself with resources of science and supreme knowledge. His control over these resources will be complete. He will know how supreme they are and how carefully they will have to be used. His mind will be free from desires of bringing harm and injury to humanity. Such a knowledge to him will be like the property which was wrongly possessed by others and for which he was waiting for the permission to repossess and use. He, in the beginning, will be like a poor stranger unknown and uncared for, and Islam then will be in the hopeless and helpless plight of an exhausted camel who has laid down its head and is wagging its tail. With such a start he will establish an empire of God in this world. He will be the final demonstration and proof of God's merciful wish to acquaint man with the right ways of life." - Islam (Shiite)- Nahjul Balagha, Khutba 141, 187
