An example of true faith in the Book of Allah



Dr. `Adnan Ali Rida Al Nahawy
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

"They said: "O Mûsâ (Moses)! Either you throw first or we be the first to throw?" * [Mûsâ (Moses)] said: "Nay, throw you (first)!" Then behold! their ropes and their sticks, by their magic, appeared to him as though they moved fast. * So Mûsâ (Moses) conceived fear in himself. * "And throw that which is in your right hand! It will swallow up that which they have made. That which they have made is only a magician's trick, and the magician will never be successful, to whatever amount (of skill) he may attain." * So the magicians fell down prostrate. They said: "We believe in the Lord of Hârûn (Aaron) and Mûsâ (Moses)." * [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Believe you in him [Mûsâ (Moses)] before I give you permission? Verily, he is your chief who has taught you magic. So I will surely cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you on the trunks of date-palms, and you shall surely know which of us [I (Fir'aun - Pharaoh) or the Lord of Mûsâ (Moses) (Allâh)] can give the severe and more lasting torment." * They said: "We prefer you not to what have come to us of the clear signs and to Him (Allâh) Who created us. So decree whatever you desire to decree, for you can only decree (regarding) this life of the world. "Verily, we have believed in our Lord, that He may forgive us our faults, and the magic to which you did compel us. And Allâh is better [as regards reward in comparison to your * (Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) reward], and more lasting (as regards punishment in comparison to your punishment)." verily, whoever comes to his Lord as a Mujrim (criminal, polytheist, sinner, disbeliever in the Oneness of Allâh and His Messengers), then surely, for him is Hell, wherein he will * But whoever comes to Him (Allâh) as a believer (in the Oneness of Allâh), and has done righteous good deeds, for such are the high ranks (in the Hereafter), -neither die nor live. * But whoever comes to Him (Allâh) as a believer (in the Oneness of Allâh), and has done righteous good deeds, for such are the high ranks (in the Hereafter), - * 'Adn (Eden) Paradise (everlasting Gardens), under which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever: such is the reward of those who purify themselves (by abstaining from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which Allâh has forbidden and by doing all that Allâh has ordained)." [Surat Taha: 65- 76].

It is a wonderful situation that shakes the hearts with true faith which surpasses the pleasures of worldly life, its catastrophes, fear, weakness, lusts and whims.

The situation did not take more than these moments during which sorcerers realized that the truth, which was sent down to Moses (Peace be upon him), was not sorcery because they are the most knowledgeable people of sorcery.

The signs which Moses brought from his Lord were the truth, therefore they prostrated themselves in submissiveness, believing in the truth which they saw, knew, and believed in.

It is a firm faith which made them leave the joys of life in which they lived under the rule of the Pharaoh, and did not pay much attention to the dangerous threats of the Pharaoh: "[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: Believe you in him [Mûsâ (Moses)] before I give you permission? Verily, he is your chief who has taught you magic. So I will surely cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you on the trunks of date-palms, and you shall surely know which of us [I (Fir'aun - Pharaoh) or the Lord of Mûsâ (Moses) (Allâh)] can give the severe and more lasting torment."

It is a fearful and terrifying threat coming from the Pharaoh who was capable of executing his threat by this terrifying punishment.

They were no longer tempted by the decorations of the world which they found under the rule of the Pharaoh: "They said: "We prefer you not to what have come to us of the clear signs and to Him (Allâh) Who created us. So decree whatever you desire to decree, for you can only decree (regarding) this life of the world. *"Verily, we have believed in our Lord, that He may forgive us our faults, and the magic to which you did compel us. And Allâh is better [as regards reward in comparison to your (Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) reward], and more lasting (as regards punishment in comparison to your punishment)." True and total separation from the decorations and joys of the worldly life and its temporary interests, and true approach to the Last Home, a true approach out of faith and certainty without weakness or doubt.

They left the whole world, its decorations, and the sedition of power and authority. They left all these joys when faith was raised in their heart, thus they knew the sedition of the world and its triviality against the bliss of the Hereafter in the moment they knew the truth, then decided to take the side of Allah (Glory be to Him).

"And Allâh is better [as regards reward in comparison to your (Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) reward], and more lasting (as regards punishment in comparison to your punishment)." They knew the reality of the Last Home and the severe torment of the disbelievers and the eternal bliss for the pious: "Verily, whoever comes to his Lord as a Mujrim (criminal, polytheist, sinner, disbeliever in the Oneness of Allâh and His Messengers), then surely, for him is Hell, wherein he will neither die nor live. * But whoever comes to Him (Allâh) as a believer (in the Oneness of Allâh), and has done righteous good deeds, for such are the high ranks (in the Hereafter), - * 'Adn (Eden) Paradise (everlasting Gardens), under which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever: such is the reward of those who purify themselves (by abstaining from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which Allâh has forbidden and by doing all that Allâh has ordained)." We should note here the power of the expression: "and has done righteous good deeds." which means confirmation and certainty so that the truthful faith should be connected with the pious work with no doubt.

The whole matter is connected with Allah (Glory be to Him) because to Him return all matters. Look at this expression: "So the magicians fell down prostrate. They said: We believe in the Lord of Hârûn (Aaron) and Mûsâ (Moses)." It is Allah's Grace upon them when He knew the truthfulness of their hearts, He granted them the sweetness of faith, certainty, and made them firm on the truth until they prostrated themselves before Allah, knowing His Bounty and Grace on them.

If we go back to the Ayahs prior to this Ayah, we will see that the sorcerers were in a state of certainty of their false sorcery until they considered Moses and Aaron sorcerers who do magic and thought that they are the victorious with their sorcery. Their eyes were blind to ponder over the saying Moses (Peace be upon him) to them: "Mûsâ (Moses) said to them: Woe to you! Invent not a lie against Allâh, lest He should destroy you completely by a torment. And surely, he who invents a lie (against Allâh) will fail miserably." [Surat Taha: 61].

It is a clear call for having faith in Allah and not to attribute lies to Him, then they differed, disputed among themselves, and started to talk secretly: "Then they debated one with another what they must do, and they kept their talk secret. * They said: "Verily, these are two magicians. Their ****** is to drive you out from your land with their magic, and overcome your chiefs and nobles. * So devise your plot, and then assemble in line. And whoever overcomes this day will be indeed successful." [Surat Taha: 62 - 64].

Thus was their contentment that Moses (Peace be upon him) was doing magic, so they thought that the conflict is between sorcery and sorcery and they deemed that their magic was the best; their scale was the world and it benefits.

Thus was their psychology condition, their intellectual contentment, and that was the dominant atmosphere. From this firm contentment in their souls, they were released by the grace of Allah after they had known that the truth, which Moses (Peace be upon him) came with, was not sorcery because they were the most knowledgeable people of sorcery, cheat, and lie. They saw the truth evident in the work of Moses (Peace be upon him) and is not part of the sorcery they knew.

The clear signs of Moses (peace be upon him) took them out from their joys and revealed the truth for them, therefore they believed in the favor of Allah and prostrated themselves before Him.

It is a great transition from the world of polytheism, disbelief, and sorcery, from the world of Pharaoh and his error to the truth, faith, and certainty.

A certainty which they left the worldly joys for and made them endure the threats of killing, crucifixion, and severe punishment, and turned their faces to the Hereafter with truthfulness and certainty.

It seems that the Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) had the same belief and took out weakness and the worldly joys of their hearts, as Allah (Glory be to Him) says about them: "Among you are some that desire this world and some that desire the Hereafter." [Surat Al `Imran: 152].

When Allah knew the Companions' clarity of faith, He gave them victory and support.

As Muslims, are not we in need to this faith and to such a transition?! If we look at the reality of Muslims today, we will see that the world has beaten many people, so from where we can achieve victory?

Allah judges justly among people and does not oppress people, but people oppress themselves. Recite the saying of Allah (Glory be to Him): "And Allâh judges with truth, while those to whom they invoke besides Him, cannot judge anything. Certainly, Allâh! He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer." [Surat Ghafir: 20]. And Allah's Saying: "Truly! Allâh wrongs not mankind in aught; but mankind wrong themselves." [Surat Yunus: 44].

In this stage, Muslims pass by humiliation and weakness which made them a burden on their enemies: They give victory to some of them over others, so they are scattered to parties, countries, boundaries, interests, and desires making everyone weak. "The nations are about to call each other and set upon you, just as eaters set upon food It was said: "Will it be because of our small number that day?"

He said: "Rather, on that day you will be many, but you will be like foam, like the foam on the river. And Allah will remove the fear of you from the hearts of your enemies and will throw wahn (weakness) into your hearts." Someone said: "O Messenger of Allah! What is Wahn?" He said: "Love of the world and the hatred for death." [Reported by Abu Dawud 31/5/4297].

What is the way out of this weakness? The answer is in Allah's Saying: "So flee to Allâh (from His Torment to His Mercy - Islâmic Monotheism). Verily, I (Muhammad peace be upon him) am a plain warner to you from Him." [Surat Adh-Dhariyat: 50]. It is a great transition as sorcerers moved to firm faith and certainty when they saw the truth.

The interpretation of Surat Al Masad

Dr. Amin ibn `Abdullah Ash-Shaqawy


All praise be to Allah and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone who has no partner and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger.

Of the Surahs which are repeated on our hearings and need from us meditation and forethought is Surat Al Masad. Allah (may He be Exalted) says: "Perish the two hands of Abû Lahab (an uncle of the Prophet) and perish he! * His wealth and his children will not benefit him! * He will be burnt in a Fire of blazing flames! * And his wife, too, who carries wood (thorns of Sa'dân which she used to put on the way of the Prophet peace be upon him, or used to slander him). * In her neck is a twisted rope of Masad (palm fiber)." [Surat Al Masad: 1-5].

Al Bukhari and Muslim reported in their Sahihs (books of authentic Hadiths) on the authority of Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) ascended As-Safa (a mountain in Makkah) one day and said: O mornings. Thereupon, Quraysh gathered and said to him: What's wrong with you? He said: What would you do if I inform you that the enemy is approaching you in the morning or in the evening, will you believe me? They said: Yes. He said: I am warning you against severe torture. Thereupon, Abu Lahab said: Perish you! Did you gather us for this? Thereupon, the Surah was revealed (Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab).[1] In another narration, Abu Lahab said: "Perish you the rest of the day."[2]

• As for Allah's Saying: "Perish the two hands of Abû Lahab (an uncle of the Prophet) and perish he!", the first was an invocation against him and the second was a predicate. Abu Lahab is one of the Prophet's uncle and his name was `Abdul-`Uzza ibn `Abdul-Muttalib. His nickname was Abu `Utbah and he was named as such because his face was bright.

Moreover, he frequently harmed the Prophet (peace be upon him) and always hated him as well as his religion.

Imam Ahmad reported in his Musnad on the authority of Rabi`ah ibn `Abbad Ad-Dayly who was an atheist but embraced Islam that he said: I saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) with my own eyes in the market of Dhul-Majaz saying: "O people, say: La Ilaha Illa Allah (No god but Allah) so that you may succeed." Passing by its paths while people were gathered around him. I saw no one saying something to him, whereas he did not keep silent, saying: "O people, say: La Ilaha Illa Allah (No god but Allah) so that you may succeed." However, there was a cross-eyed person with bight face and two plaits saying: He is an atheist and a liar. So, I asked: Who was that? People said: Muhammad ibn `Abdullah who is claiming to be a prophet. I then asked: Who was the one who was belying him? People said: His uncle Abu Lahab.[3]

• As for Allah's Saying: "Perish the two hands of Abû Lahab (an uncle of the Prophet) and perish he!" Perish means destruction as Allah (Glory be to Him) says: "And the plot of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) led to nothing but loss and destruction (for him)." [Surat Ghafir: 37]. Allah mentions his hands before his body because they are the tool of actions and work, give and take.

• As for Allah's Saying: "His wealth and his children will not benefit him!" Nothing will ward off the punishment of Allah, and the Ayah includes his children as well as his wealth, as Allah (Glory be to Him) says: "My wealth has not availed me; * My power (and arguments to defend myself) have gone from me!" [Surat Al Haqqah: 28 - 29]. Allah also says: "Verily, those who disbelieve, neither their properties nor their offspring will avail them whatsoever against Allâh; and it is they who will be fuel of the Fire." [Surat Al `Imran: 10].

• As for Allah's Saying: "He will be burnt in a Fire of blazing flames!", the meaning is Allah threatened him with a blazing fire because the pleasures of the world and staying in it is little in compare to the eternal life, even if years passed while the people who are in the Barzakh (period between death and the Resurrection), they will feel it as one hour. Allah (Glory be to Him) says: "As if they had not stayed more than an hour in a single day. (O mankind! this Qur'ân is sufficient as) a clear Message (or proclamation to save yourself from destruction). But shall any be destroyed except the people who are Al-Fâsiqûn (the rebellious against Allah's Command, the disobedient to Allâh)?" [Surat Al Ahqaf: 35].

• As for Allah's Saying: "And his wife, too, who carries wood (thorns of Sa'dân which she used to put on the way of the Prophet peace be upon him, or used to slander him)." His wife is Um Jamil, Arwa bint Harb ibn Umayyah and the sister of Abu Sufyan. She was one of the noble of Quraysh but her nobleness did not elevate her because she participated with her husband in harming the Prophet (peace be upon him). She used to carry thorns and put them in the path of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to harm him.

Some commentators said: She helped her husband for disbelief, therefore she will carry the wood and throw it on her husband on the Day of Recompense.[4]

As for Allah's Saying: "In her neck is a twisted rope of Masad (palm fiber)," it means that she used to come out with a rope in her neck to get wood and put it in the path of the Prophet (peace be upon him).[5]

Sa`id ibn Al Musayyab said: She used to have a precious necklace and she said: I would have spent it for stirring rivalries against Muhammad, so Allah replaced her with a rope from Hell.[6]

Al Bazzar reported in his Musnad on the authority of Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: When Surat Al Masad was revealed, the wife of Abu Lahab came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) while Abu Bakr was sitting there. Abu Bakr said to the Messenger of Allah: If you lean aside, she will not be able to harm you. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: There will be a barrier between me and her. She said to Abu Bakr: O Abu Bakr, your friend has insulted us. Abu Bakr said: No, by the Lord of this girl. He never uttered poetry. She said: Do you believe that? When she went away, Abu Bakr said: She did not see you? The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: No, an angel kept of screening me until she has gone.[7]

Scholars said: This Surah shows a manifest miracle and an obvious proof to the Prophethood of the Messenger of Allah because since the Surah was revealed telling that they will not become Muslims, they did not declare Islam even as a trick which was a sign for prophethood.[8]

As for Abu Lahab, he died in the worst way and Allah took avenged His Prophet.

Ibn Ishaq said: Few days after the Battle of Badr, he was inflicted by Al `Adasah[9], so he died and his two sons could not approach to bury him. So, they leaved him for thirty days until he was rotten. A man from the Quraysh said to them: Woe to you, you do not feel shame? Go and bury your father. They said: We fear that pimple. He said: I shall help you in that. Then, they took him to the desert. By Allah, they did not wash him but threw water on him then carried him to the top of a mountain in Makkah and leant him to a wall and threw stones[10] at him; to Hell and how worst it is![11]

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

The stance of the Glorious Qur'an from luxury and the sybarites

Muhammad Fathy Hassan



Luxury is indulgence in enjoying and expansion in the causes of welfare.
The sybarites are: The affluent who were misled by the blessing and the luxury of life.
Luxury has two sides: One is financial which is enjoying and the other is moral which is ingratitude.
The Glorious Qur'an considers the existence of the sybarites an imminent danger that threatens the human life and fill its future with fogs.
Securing the happiness of people as well as their rights require taking the possible procedures to prevent luxury and the sybarites.
The sybarites look down at Allah's Favors which they were given to them.
The abundance of favors, the fewness of thanking Allah, consuming them in futility, and not giving them to the needy tempt them to look down to them.
Perhaps that is the reason why they will be from the denizens of the Fire who deserve the wrath of Allah and His Painful Punishment. "And those on the Left Hand - how (unfortunate) will be those on the Left Hand? * In fierce hot wind and boiling water, * And shadow of black smoke,* (That shadow) neither cool, nor (even) pleasant, * Verily, before that, they indulged in luxury, * And were persisting in great sin (joining partners in worship along with Allâh, committing murder and other crimes)." [Surat Al Waqi`ah: 41 - 46].
Therefore, the sybarites in the Qur'an are the enemy of every message, the opponents of every rehabilitation and progress, and the followers of every old thing even if it is a plain error; so they are the source of wide corruption and renewed trials.
The Glorious Qur'an has detailed in many of its Surahs the stance of the sybarites toward every sent scripture and every prophet, hence denial was their main course toward the religion with which Allah sent His Prophets starting from Noah (Peace be upon him) to the last of all Prophets and Messengers i.e., Muhammad (peace be upon him).
It is surprising to find similarity in all their responses to the extent that you feel they have the same feelings and they defend one interest.
Since the time of Noah (Peace be upon him) until today, we find this luxurious and arrogant class stand in the face of the call, belittle the status of the poor followers of Prophets who had no money or prestige, and ask them to expel those low people from their point of view. "The chiefs who disbelieved among his people said: We see you but a man like ourselves, nor do we see any follow you but the meanest among us and they (too) followed you without thinking. And we do not see in you any merit above us, in fact we think you are liars." [Surat Hud: 27].
So, Noah responds to their obstinacy saying: "And O my people! I ask of you no wealth for it, my reward is from none but Allâh. I am not going to drive away those who have believed. Surely, they are going to meet their Lord, but I see that you are a people that are ignorant. * And O my people! Who will help me against Allâh, if I drove them away? Will you not then give a thought?" [Surat Hud: 29 - 30].
The situation of the sybarites after the people of Noah whom Allah annihilated did not change. "Then, after them, We created another generation. * And We sent to them a Messenger from among themselves (saying): Worship Allâh! You have no other Ilâh (God) but Him. Will you not then be afraid (of Him i.e. of His Punishment because of worshipping others besides Him)? * And the chiefs of his people who disbelieved and denied the Meeting in the Hereafter, and whom We had given the luxuries and comforts of this life, said: "He is no more than a human being like you, he eats of that which you eat, and drinks of what you drink." [Surat Al Mu'minun: 31 - 33].
That stubborn situation continued until the mission of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and they became the first to belie and fight him, accordingly the Glorious Qur'an threatened them in a number of the Makkan surahs: "And leave Me Alone to deal with the deniers (those who deny My Verses), those who are in possession of good things of life. And give them respite for a little while." [Surat Al Muzzammil: 11].
"Leave them to eat and enjoy, and let them be preoccupied with (false) hope. They will come to know!" [Surat Al Hijr: 3].
The Qur'an shows the situation of the sybarites from divine messages in general. Allah says: "And We did not send a warner to a township, but those who were given the worldly wealth and luxuries among them said: We believe not in the (Message) with which you have been sent. * And they say: We are more in wealth and in children, and we are not going to be punished." [Surat Saba': 34 - 35].
Those people have gone astray when they connected between the glory of the world and the happiness of the Hereafter with the abundance of their money and children, but the Qur'an replies by explaining the correct way of the human glory which is righteous deeds and good manners, not ingratitude due to their. "And it is not your wealth, nor your children that bring you nearer to Us (i.e. please Allâh), but only he who believes (in the Islâmic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds (will please Us); as for such, there will be twofold reward for what they did, and they will reside in the high dwellings (Paradise) in peace and security." [Surat Saba': 37].
Luxury corrupts an individual because it occupies him with the lusts of his stomach and private parts and distracts him to seek good manners because it kills the spirit of Jihad, seriousness, and roughness, and makes a person servant for the life of luxury and comfort. Therefore, the Messenger (peace be upon him) says: "Let the slave of Dinar and Dirham of Qatifa and Khamisa (i.e. money and luxurious clothes) perish for he is pleased if these things are given to him, and if not, he is displeased!" Likewise, luxury corrupts people and works as a premonitory to their destruction, therefore, the Glorious Qur'an correlated between it and injustice and criminality. The secret behind that is: The few sybarite class steal with their luxury the rights of the disadvantaged majority unjustly and get fattened at the expense of their emaciation out of their criminality.
Allah (may He be Exalted) says: "If only there had been among the generations before you persons having wisdom, prohibiting (others) from Al-Fasâd (disbelief, polytheism, and all kinds of crimes and sins) in the earth, (but there were none)? except a few of those whom We saved from among them! Those who did wrong pursued the enjoyment of good things of (this worldly) life, and were Mujrimûn (criminals, disbelievers in Allâh, polytheists, sinners)." [Surat Hud: 116].
Hence, luxury in the Glorious Qur'an was one of the strongest causes of social corruption, especially if the sybarites increase and become of power and prestige. The Qur'an explained this social Sunnah in Allah's Saying: "And when We decide to destroy a town (population), We (first) send a definite order (to obey Allâh and be righteous) to those among them [or We (first) increase in number those of its population] who lead a life of luxury. Then, they transgress therein, and thus the word (of torment) is justified against it (them). Then We destroy it with complete destruction." [Surat Al Isra': 16].
It was mentioned in the book of At-Tahrir wat-Tanwir (Vol. 8 / p. 199): The Ayah mentioned the sybarites although the Messengers address all people because their disobedience of command is the cause of their lewdness and the lewdness of their people because they are the leaders of the common and the leaders of disbelief. So, the discourse is directed to them more than others because if they disobey the command, the common will follow them which will lead to the spread of lewdness in villages and its destruction.
Destruction is destruction of building and removing its traces which is used here instead of eradication because the meaning is annihilation of the people without destroying their buildings as in Allah's Saying: "And ask (the people of) the town." [Surat Yusuf: 82].
When villages allow the sybarites to exist and live, destruction will be inevitable.
The will here is not the will for destruction which initiates the reason but the result of the cause because it is a common law, so it is a result to the spread of lewdness. Here, it becomes clear the role of the group in stopping lewdness which will be destructive to all the people if they do not desist this sinfulness.
That common law was applied to the people since Noah until now; whenever sins spread in a nation, it will be destroyed, and Allah is All Acquainted with the sins of His Servants. "And how many generations have We destroyed after Nûh (Noah)! And Sufficient is your Lord as Well-Acquainted and All-Beholder of the sins of His slaves." [Surat Al Isra': 17].
Moreover, deluging in luxury and enjoyment is a cause for Allah's trials and punishment and the delay of victory. "Until, when We seize those of them who lead a luxurious life with punishment: behold they make humble invocation with a loud voice. * Invoke not loudly this day! Certainly, you shall not be helped by Us." [Surat Al Mu'minun: 64 - 65].
"How many a town (community) given to wrong-doing, have We destroyed, and raised up after them another people! * Then, when they perceived (saw) Our Torment (coming), behold, they (tried to) flee from it. * Flee not, but return to that wherein you lived a luxurious life, and to your homes, in order that you may be questioned." [Surat Al Anbiya': 11 - 13].
Therefore, we find that Islam has forbidden the prominent examples of luxury, of these examples:
The prohibition of eating in golden and silver utensils:
Al Bukhari and Muslim reported on the authority of Um Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The one who eats and drinks in silver vessels shall be dragged from his stomach in the fire of Hell."
Wearing silk clothes:
Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying: "Do not wear silk or Dibaj, and do not drink in golden or silver vessels, and do not eat in plates of such ****ls." Likewise, neither these vessels nor golden and silver statues should be taken as decoration and ornaments because in that case the sin is doubled because of the prohibition of statues and the prohibition of taking them as ornaments.
The golden Jewelry and silk clothes for men:
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "These two are forbidden for the males of my Ummah."
The prohibition includes the golden pen, watch ...etc.
Thus, the authentic texts of Shari`ah support one another to achieve the unity of the nation and keep it in the shade of truthful faith and comprehensive justice.
May Allah guide us to success!
