ভূমিকা

As we will learn from the Ahadith below, Makruh is from that which has harmful effects, whereas Mustahab carries greater rewards and is preferred for a believer. Amir Al-Momineen -asws says in a lengthy Hadith ‘وَ هَجْرِ الْأُمُورِ الْمَكْرُوهَةِ’ And flee from the abhorrent matters (See Appendix).

[1] For the deeds to be accepted, one must act in accordance with Sunnah, e.g., عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الْأَزْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ الْعَبْدِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لَا قَوْلَ إِلَّا بِعَمَلٍ وَ لَا قَوْلَ وَ لَا عَمَلَ إِلَّا بِنِيَّةٍ وَ لَا قَوْلَ وَ لَا عَمَلَ وَ لَا نِيَّةَ إِلَّا بِإِصَابَةِ السُّنَّةِ A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from Abu Ismail Ibrahim Bin Is’haq Al Azdy, from Abu Usman Al Abady, from; (Imam) Ja’far -asws , from his -asws forefathers -asws , from Amir Al-Momineen -asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘There is no word except with the deed, and there is neither a word nor a deed except with an intention, and there is neither a word nor a deed nor an intention except with attaining the Sunnah’.

[2] Background: In Islam, Halal and Harram are not prone to change until Qiyamah. وَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ أَنَّ اللَّهَ بَعَثَ مُحَمَّداً نَبِيّاً فَلَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدَهُ أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابَ فَخَتَمَ بِهِ الْكُتُبَ فَلَا كِتَابَ بَعْدَهُ And from Ismail Bin Jabir, ‘From Abu Abdullah -asws : ‘Allah -azwj Sent Muhammad -saww as a Prophet -saww , and there will be no Prophet -saww after him -saww .
