 میری تحقیق یہ ہے کہ نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی شان میں گستاخی سے ذمّی کا عقدِ  ذمہ ٹوٹ جاتا ہے۔ آپ نے اپنی راے کی تائید میں فتح القدیر ، ج&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="FA" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:#38342c"&gt;۴&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:#38342c"&gt;، اور بدائع،ص &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="FA" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:#38342c"&gt;۱۱۳&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:#38342c"&gt; کا حوالہ  دیا ہے لیکن دوسری طرف علامہ ابن تیمیہؒ نے الصارم المسلول علٰی شاتم الرسول کے  نام سے ایک مستقل رسالہ لکھا ہے.... حضرت علیؓ کی روایت ہے کہ ایک یہودیہ نبی صلی  اللہ علیہ وسلم کے خلاف بدزبانی کرتی رہتی تھی ۔ایک شخص نے اس کا گلا گھونٹا، یہاں  تک کہ وہ مرگئی۔ نبی ؐ نے اس کے خون کو رائیگاں قرار دے دیا(ابوداؤد)۔ ایک مقامی  عالم نے اخبار اہلِ حدیث (سوہدرہ) میں آپ کی اس راے کے خلاف ایک مضمون 'مولانا  مودودی کی ایک غلطی' شائع کیا ہے اور متعدد علما کے فتاویٰ درج کیے ہیں۔&lt;br&gt;  جواب: یہ مسئلہ مختلف فیہ ہے۔ اس میں دوسری طرف بھی علما کا ایک بڑا گروہ ہے اور  اس کے پاس بھی دلائل ہیں۔ اصل اختلاف اس بات میں نہیں ہے کہ جزیہ نہ دینا، یا سبِّ  نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم یا ہتکِ مسلّمات قانونی جرم مستلزم سزا ہیں یا نہیں، بلکہ  اس امر میں ہے کہ: 'یہ جرائم آیا قانون کے خلاف جرائم ہیں یا دستورِ مملکت کے  خلاف؟' ایک جرم وہ ہے جو رعیت کا کوئی فرد کرے تو صرف مجرم ہوتا ہے۔ دوسرا جرم وہ  ہے جس کا ارتکاب وہ کرے تو سرے سے رعیت ہونے ہی سے خارج ہوجاتا ہے۔ حنفیہ یہ کہتے  ہیں کہ: ذمّی کے یہ جرائم پہلی نوعیت کے ہیں۔ بعض دوسرے علما کے نزدیک: 'ان کی  نوعیت دوسری قسم کے جرائم کی سی ہے'۔ یہ ایک دستوری بحث ہے جس میں دونوں طرف کافی  دلائل ہیں۔ اخبار اہل حدیث میں جن صاحب نے مضمون لکھا ہے، انھوں نے انصاف نہیں کیا  کہ اسے صرف مودودی کی غلطی قرار دیا۔ یہ اگر غلطی ہے تو سلف میں بہت سے اس کے  مرتکب ہیں۔ مودودی غریب کا تو صرف یہ قصور ہے کہ [وہ] کسی مسئلے میں مسلکِ حنفی کی  تائید کرتا ہے تو اہلِ حدیث سے گالیاں کھاتا ہے اور کسی میں اہلِ حدیث کی تائید  کرتا ہے تو حنفی اس کے پیچھے پڑ جاتے ہیں۔&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span dir="LTR" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:#38342c"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Hadrat  Sayyiduna Imam Fakhr al-Din Raazi (Alayhir Rahmah) has stated in his  famous exegesis 'Tafsir al-Kabir', There are several reasons why Allah  has concealed the exact date of Laylat al-Qadr:&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;BR&gt; &lt;blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="border-left:1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);padding-left:1ex;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;1.  Allah has concealed many things such as His pleasure in obedience so  that people would perform every form of worship, His wrath in sins so  that people would avoid every single sin, His Awliya amongst His  servants so that people would respect every single person, the  fulfilment of supplications in making supplications so that people would  make supplications abundantly, the Ism al-Azam amongst His names so  that people would respect every name and the Salat al-Wusta amongst the Salah so that people would offer all the Salah.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Likewise,  the acceptance of repentance has been kept secret so that people always  repent of their sins and the time of death has also been kept secret so  that people always fear it. Similarly, Laylat al-Qadr has been kept  secret so that people respect all the nights of Ramadan.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;2.  It is as if Allah says to His servants, 'I know your daring about sins;  if I had declared a particular night as Laylat al-Qadr, and if you had  committed sins knowingly even at this sacred night due to your lust, it  would be more severe than committing sins unknowingly.'&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;According  to a narration, once the Holy Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam)  entered the Masjid where he saw a man sleep (inside). He said, 'O Ali!  Wake him up so that he can perform Wudu.' Having awoken the man,  Sayyiduna Ali (Radi Allahu Anhu) said, 'Ya RasoolAllah (SallAllahu  Alayka wa Sallam) usually, you prefer to perform righteous deeds, why  did you not wake him up yourself?' He (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam)  replied, 'I did not do so because his refusing you is not a Kufr; I did  it to reduce his crime.'&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;It  is an example of the mercy of the Beloved Rasool (SallAllahu Alayhi wa  Sallam). Considering this (hadith), imagine the mercy of Allah. It is as  if Allah says, 'If you had worshipped in Laylat al-Qadr after being  aware of it, you would gain more reward than a thousand months worship  but if you had sinned in it you would have been punished for a thousand  months, and protection from punishment is better than earning reward.'&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;3.  It is as if Allah says, 'I kept this night secret so that people would  struggle hard to acquire it and earn reward for their struggles.'&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;4.  Since people are unaware as to which night Laylat al-Qadr is, they will  try to worship Allah every night of Ramadan in search of Laylat  al-Qadr. Referring to these people Allah admonished the angels, 'You  used to say that these humans will fight and shed blood, but (look)  these are their efforts and struggles in a night that could be Laylat  al-Qadr (they are not even certain of it) so what would have they done  if I had told them the exact night…? (In other words, they would worship  even more abundantly).' &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;This is the secret to the answer Allah gave to the angels when He said to them:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color:rgb(56, 118, 29);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;إني جاعل في الأرض خليفة&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;"I am about to place My Caliph in the earth".&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;The angels said:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(56, 118, 29);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;قالوا أتجعل فيها من يفسد فيها ويسفك الدماء ونحن نسبح بحمدك ونقدس لك&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;They  said, "Will You place (as a caliph) one who will spread turmoil in it  and shed blood? Whereas we glorify You with praise and proclaim Your  Sanctity".&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Then He (Almighty) said:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(56, 118, 29);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;قال إني أعلم ما لا تعلمون&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;He said, "I know what you do not."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Thus, the secret behind this statement has been revealed. &lt;span style="color:rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;[Tafsir al-Kabir, Vol. 11, Page 229]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;

If we avoid them we will gain an abundance of  blessings in sha Allah. Here are 44 causes of deprivation in sustenance:&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 1. To eat without washing the hands.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 2. To eat without covering the head.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 3. To eat in the dark.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 4. To eat and drink whilst sitting at the doorstep.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 5. To eat near the deceased.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 6. To eat without bathing after sexual intercourse or a nocturnal emission.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 7. To delay eating after the food has been served.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 8. To eat on a bed without laying a dining-mat.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 9.  To eat on a bed whilst you are sitting by the headboard and the food is  served towards the direction where you place your feet (at the time of  sleeping).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 10. To bite off the bread instead of breaking it with the hands (those who eat burgers should also take care).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 11.  To use broken clay or porcelain plates, cups etc. (It is Makruh to  drink water, tea etc. from the side of a cup that is chipped. Do not use  the plates, cups etc. that are cracked as there are many harmful germs  and bacteria that may be embedded within the cracks and may cause  diseases).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 12. Not to clean the used plates, pots etc.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 13. To wash the hands in the container used for eating.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 14. To swallow food-particles stuck between the teeth after removing them by dental floss or toothpick etc.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 15.  To leave the plates, glasses etc. used for eating uncovered. One should  recite Bismillah and cover them because if left uncovered, calamities  descend into the food and drink and spoil them, causing illness.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 16. To throw bread at such places where it would be disrespected or trampled by people. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 17. To sleep in excess. (This can also cause ignorance).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 18. To sleep naked.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 19. To urinate shamelessly. (Those that urinate in public on roadsides should pay heed).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 20. To be lazy in picking up fallen crumbs or bits of food from the dining-mat.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 21. To burn the peel of an onion or garlic.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 22. To sweep one's home with clothes.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 23. To sweep at night.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 24. To leave trash (garbage) inside the home.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 25. To walk ahead of the Mashaikh (scholars and saints).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 26. To call parents by their names.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 27. To clean the hands with mud or sand.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 28. To stand whilst leaning on a side of the door.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 29. To make Wudu in the lavatory.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 30. To sew clothes etc. whilst wearing them.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 31. To wipe one's face with the clothing one is wearing.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 32. To leave spiders' webs in the home.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 33. To be lazy in offering Salah.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 34. To exit the Masjid early after offering Salat al-Fajr.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 35. To go to the market very early in the morning.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 36. To come back from the marketplace late.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 37.  To curse children. (Some women often curse their children. Then they  also complain about the lack of blessings in sustenance).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 38. To commit sins, specifically lies.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 39. To put out an oil lamp by blowing.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 40. To use a broken comb.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 41. Not to make Du'a for one's parents.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 42. To wrap the turban around the head whilst sitting.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 43. To put on the pants or pyjamas whilst standing.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 44. To avoid performing good deeds.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;BR&gt; &lt;div style="text-align:center;"&gt; &lt;div style="text-align:center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;— — —&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Excerpted from:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Ta'leem al-Muta'allim, Pages 73-76&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Sunni Bahishti Zaiwar, Pages 595-601&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana,sans-serif" color="#1F497D"&gt;&lt;br id="FontBreak"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(42, 42, 42); line-height: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="line-height: 16px; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(42, 42, 42); line-height: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Shahzad Afzal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="line-height: 16px; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pakistanprobe.com/" target="_blank" style="line-height: 16px; color: rgb(0, 104, 207); cursor: pointer; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;http://www.pakistanprobe.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div class="ecxemailfooter"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; 		 	   		  &lt;/div&gt;</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>noreply@blogger.com (Shahzad Afzal)</author></item><item><title>15th of Shabaan rituals and Bidaah!</title><link>http://brightnessofislam.blogspot.com/2015/06/15th-of-shabaan-rituals-and-bidaah.html</link><pubDate>Tue, 2 Jun 2015 12:50:00 +0500</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128845579136085010.post-5904714524493847087</guid><description>&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;blockquote type="cite"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:973.333312988281px;background:rgb(246,244,249)"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="padding:3pt"&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="69%" style="width:670.666687011719px"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" style="padding:1.5pt"&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="88%" style="width:588px"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width="100%" style="width:588px;padding:0in"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:24pt;line-height:36.7999992370606px"&gt;Shabi baraat , it&amp;#39;s rituals, sunnah and Biddah &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;by: Abida Rahmani&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width="100%" style="width:588px;padding:0in"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tonight is the night of 15th Shaabaan. This night marks a night of festivity and celebrations in our culture and some of the Muslims all around the world.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Being a small kid, I remember impatiently waiting for this month of Shaabaan. This month marked the month of fireworks for us. We would make a big rag ball, dipped in kerosene oil for days. At night set it on fire and tried our muscles to throw it higher and higher.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Our elders would always participate in this fun. Sometimes this burning ball of rags would make ablaze here and there. Then we would get money from our elders for other fireworks, crackers, tracers, bombs (bums) and the innocent ones phuljarian , the twinkling stars. It was a month of celebrations and fun for us. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then after growing up a little bit, we were told to offer at least 100 rakaas of nawafil (nonobligatory prayers) on that night. Our maulvis or scholars were against the fireworks and called it a night of worship and salvation. In our families the ladies would gather and try to offer at least 100 rakaas,. The ladies used to make and distribute special meals among friends and families on that night. it was considered rewarding to be awake whole night and doing ibada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;In Urdu speaking families mostly it was a big ritual of making different kind of halwas. So much toil and efforts were done in the preparations, days before this ritual would start. A variety of Halwas of suji, gram( channa), eggs, dry dates, coconut etc. the kids would distribute the delicacies among neighbors and friends. Those with sweet tooth would wait whole year for these Halwas . Meanwhile the cooking ladies tried their best to show expertise .All other cultures were not far behind in cooking their best meals and distributing to  poor and friends.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;In General it was considered a night of festivities. I remember some of my friends wearing new clothes on this evening.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt; The scholars or maulvis then asked the ladies not to get so tired in those preparations, it is not needed at all.They should preserve their energy for the night of worship, solitude and salvation. They have to fast the next day too.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Then after going through and interacting with  some more learned and authentic scholars of Islam came to know that even this is not a night of worship and salvation , therefore no extra efforts are required for this night and no fast is authentic according to sunnah for the next day. The Ahadith related to this night are weak and this celebrated night of power is in the last 10 nights of Ramadan.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Once when I was visiting Egypt. On 14th of Shaabaan in Old Muslim Cairo, saw people buying beautifully made lanterns, sweets and vermicelli. On my query I was told that it is for the celebrations of this night the 15th Shabban.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Next day we were in haram baitullah  Makkah for Umrah and many of the ladies were fasting.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;It is great to practice authentic and pure religion and to simplify life but in this way we are taking all the beauty, fun and festivities from kids And families.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Here I &amp;#39; m quoting some of the authentic narrations.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;In preparation of Ramadan Muhammed (saaw) did fast frequently in the month of Sha'ban, and he recommended not to fast after 15th of Shabaan so that we can have full strength for Ramadan to fast.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;There is no evidence of fasting on 15th of Sha&amp;#39;ban as compulsory/recommended ................ one can fast whenever, other than the obligatory fasting of RAMADHAN !&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;On The night of 15th Sha'ban the preparation for the Shab-e-Baraat festivities is also heating up. Most mainstream Sunni and Shia sects believe this night to be blessed and perform special prayers, keep a fast and distribute food. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;There is only one blessed night mentioned in the Qur'an, which is Laila tul Qadr. The Qur'an was sent down in this night and it is one of the nights in the last 10 days of Ramadan. However, those who believe that 15th Sha'ban is blessed interpret the verses in Surah Ad-Dukhan to refer to this night rather than the night of Qadr.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.5333347320557px"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;font style="direction:rtl;margin:0px;padding:0cm;font-family:PDMS_IslamicFont,_PDMS_IslamicFont,Tahoma,Arial;font-size:24px;text-align:right;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"&gt;حمٓ (﻿١﻿)﻿&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:PDMS_IslamicFont,_PDMS_IslamicFont,Tahoma,Arial;font-size:24px;text-align:right;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;font style="direction:rtl;margin:0px;padding:0cm;font-family:PDMS_IslamicFont,_PDMS_IslamicFont,Tahoma,Arial;font-size:24px;text-align:right;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"&gt;وَٱلۡڪِتَـٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ (﻿٢﻿)﻿&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:PDMS_IslamicFont,_PDMS_IslamicFont,Tahoma,Arial;font-size:24px;text-align:right;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;font style="direction:rtl;margin:0px;padding:0cm;font-family:PDMS_IslamicFont,_PDMS_IslamicFont,Tahoma,Arial;font-size:24px;text-align:right;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"&gt;إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ فِى لَيۡلَةٍ۬ مُّبَـٰرَكَةٍ‌ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font style="direction:ltr;margin:0px;padding:0cm;line-height:28px;font-family:&amp;#39;Time New Roman&amp;#39;,Tahoma;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"&gt;By the manifest Book (this Qur&amp;#39;ân) that makes things clear, (2)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;#39;Time New Roman&amp;#39;,Tahoma;line-height:28px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;font style="direction:ltr;margin:0px;padding:0cm;line-height:28px;font-family:&amp;#39;Time New Roman&amp;#39;,Tahoma;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"&gt;We sent it (this Qur&amp;#39;ân) down on a blessed night, addukhan 2,3&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Time New Roman, Tahoma"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:28px"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Many Scholars refer to this Ayah for Shabi Baraat or 15th of Shabaan anstead of Lailatul Qadar and made this night very special.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;But is Surah Ad-Dukhan referring to the 15th Sha'ban or to the night of Qadr? The clue is in the reference to the revelation of the Qur'an:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Verily, We have sent it (this Qur'an) down in the night of Al-Qadr (Decree). [Surah Al-Qadr 97:1]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Therein descend the angels and the Ruh [Jibril (Gabril)] by Allah's Permission with all Decrees. [Surah Al-Qadr 97:4]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The verses quoted above prove that the Qur'an was revealed on the night of Qadr, when Allah's angels also descend with all Decrees (related to life, death and wealth). We then find the key evidence in Surah Al-Baqara which tells us exactly which month it is:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan i.e. is present at his home), he must observe Saum (fasts) that month, and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Saum (fasts) must be made up] from other days. Allah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you. (He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allah [i.e. to say Takbir (Allahu Akbar; Allah is the Most Great] for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him. [Surah Al-Baqara 2:185] [Emphasis added]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;We can then conclude that the only night of blessing referred to in the Qur'an is the night of Qadr. There is no reference whatsoever to a Shab-e-Barat (or the night of 15th Sha'ban) as a blessed night.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The practices and beliefs associated with this night are a strange mish-mash of information found in the Qur'an and Sahih Hadith. Of the many things associated with this, it is said that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) visited a graveyard on the night of 15th Sha'ban. He prayed for the forgiveness of those who died as believers and were buried in Al-Baqi). Based on this hadith, Muslims have now created a ritual whereby they visit graveyards on this night every year. This 15 Sha'ban hadith is found in Tirmidhi. There is jirah (criticism) on this hadith and Tirmidhi himself acknowledged that the reference to 15th Sha'ban was based on a single report (this means that the hadith is classed as weak and is unreliable).&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Crucially, we find authentic reports of this incident in Sahih Muslim (Sahih Muslim, Book #004, and Hadith #2127). There is no mention at all of Sha'ban, or of any other month when this incident happened. In fact, the Prophet (SAW) explained that he was ordered by angel Gabriel (AS) to pray for the forgiveness of the inhabitants of Al-Baqi. This is an isolated incident, in the sense that the Prophet (SAW) did not repeat this practice as a matter of routine. What we do learn from this hadith is a prayer for forgiveness for those who died as believers but we find no mention of a particular date, so we do not know which night it was.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Despite this, the 15 Sha'ban myths has gained acceptance and Muslims have started to visit graveyards on the 15th Sha'ban every year; this is a ritual that can only be classed as a Bidd'ah. Rather than sending a prayer for forgiveness regularly, what they have started to do instead is to congregate in graveyards, put flowers and kewra (fragrance) on graves and say Salat un Tasbeeh prayers all night. It is worth pointing out that Salat un Tasbeeh itself is an innovated prayer not proven from Prophet (SAW). And while some spend this night saying prayers, others light up fireworks and sparklers. As we do not tire of repeating, Bidd'ah tend to grow into more Bidd'ah very quickly and what we see is that one innovated festival makes room for many more.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;It is also believed by these sects that reports of actions or deeds are taken to Allah on this night and this is why one should fast on the day. What we find in Sahih Hadith is that all matters are taken to Allah on Monday and Thursday every week, which is why Prophet (SAW) used to fast on these days. (Sahih Muslim, Book #006, Hadith #2603)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;Abu Huraim reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying, "The deeds of people would be presented every week on two days, viz. Monday and Thursday, and every believing servant would be granted pardon except the one in whose (heart) there is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:21px;line-height:24.5333347320557px"&gt;rancor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt; against his brother and it would be said: Leave them and put them off until they are turned to reconciliation. (Sahih Muslim, Book #032, Hadith #6224)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;It is also believed that Allah's decisions regarding matters of life, death and wealth are revealed to angels on 15 Sha'ban. This view contradicts the Qur'an, where we are told clearly that all such Decrees are brought by angels on the night of Qadr, which is a night in Ramadan.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;We can conclude that:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;There is only one blessed night, the night of Qadr, mentioned in the Qur'an. The Prophet (SAW) recommended nafl Ibadah in the last 10 nights of Ramadan, one of which may be the night of Qadr. This is the night when the Qur'an was revealed and when angels bring Allah's Decrees.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Prophet (SAW) visited the graveyard of Al-Baqi one night and said a prayer for those who died as believers. There are no authentic reports which tell us exactly which night this was.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Here is  the Hadith:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:24.533332824707px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Muhammad b. Qais said (to the people): Should I not narrate to you (a hadith of the Holy Prophet) on my authority and on the authority of my mother? We thought that he meant the mother who had given him birth. He (Muhammad b. Qais) then reported that it was 'A'isha who had narrated this: Should I not narrate to you about myself and about the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)? We said: Yes. She said: When it was my turn for Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) to spend the night with me, he turned his side, put on his mantle and took off his shoes and placed them near his feet, and spread the corner of his shawl on his bed and then lay down till he thought that I had gone to sleep. He took hold of his mantle slowly and put on the shoes slowly, and opened the door and went out and then closed it lightly. I covered my head, put on my veil and tightened my waist wrapper, and then went out following his steps till he reached Baqi'. He stood there and he stood for a long time. He then lifted his hands three times, and then returned and I also returned. He hastened his steps and I also hastened my steps. He ran and I too ran. He came (to the house) and I also came (to the house). I, however, preceded him and I entered (the house), and as I lay down in the bed, he (the Holy Prophet) entered the (house), and said: Why is it, O 'A'isha, that you are out of breath? I said: There is nothing. He said: Tell me or the Subtle and the Aware would inform me. I said: Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransom for you, and then I told him (the whole story). He said: Was it the darkness (of your shadow) that I saw in front of me? She said: Whatsoever the people conceal, Allah will know it. He said: Gabriel came to me when you   saw me.. He (gabriel) said: Your Lord has commanded you to go to the inhabitants of Baqi' (to those lying in the graves) and beg pardon for them. I said: Messenger of Allah, how should I pray for them (How should I beg forgiveness for them)? He said: Say, Peace be upon the inhabitants of this city (graveyard) from among the Believers and the Muslims, and may Allah have mercy on those who have gone ahead of us, and those who come later on, and we shall, God willing, join you. this night was the 15th of Shaabaan.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;-- &lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="gmail_signature"&gt;Shahzad Afzal&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pakistanprobe.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.pakistanprobe.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;  </description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>noreply@blogger.com (Shahzad Afzal)</author></item><item><title>Knowledge of Unseen of Prophet Muhammad SAW - Ilam Ghaib - علم غیب</title><link>http://brightnessofislam.blogspot.com/2015/04/knowledge-of-unseen-of-prophet-muhammad-SAW-Ilam-Ghaib.html</link><category>Ilam-e-Ghaib</category><category>Islam</category><category>Muhammad</category><category>علم غیب</category><pubDate>Mon, 27 Apr 2015 11:37:00 +0500</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128845579136085010.post-5522539774570292674</guid><description>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;

A few Ahadith are being presented here regarding the virtues and excellence of wearing the turban:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://scontent-mxp.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/545146_10151181684440334_1556635548_n.jpg?oh=0410e1c3cc4bfa7b59e6f16420f86818&amp;amp;oe=5593B672" alt="https://scontent-mxp.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/545146_10151181684440334_1556635548_n.jpg?oh=0410e1c3cc4bfa7b59e6f16420f86818&amp;amp;oe=5593B672"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;1. Two Rak'ats of Salah performed whilst wearing an Imamah are better than offering Seventy Rak'ats without wearing Imamah.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;[Daylami, Firdaus bima' Saur al-Khattab, Vol. 2, Page 265, Hadith 3233]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;2. Adopt the tying (wearing) of the Imaama (Turban), for it is the sign of the Angels, and allow it (i.e. the Shimlah) to hang at the back.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;[Shu'ab al-Iman, Vol. 5, Page 176, Hadith 6262]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;3. The distinction between us and the mushriks (polytheists) is that our turbans are worn (tied) on (top of our) hats.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;[Tirmidhi, Vol. 3, Page 305, Hadith 1791]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;4. Wearing an Imamah over a headgear is the difference between us and the Mushrikin [Idol-worshippers]. For every fold of the Imamah that a Muslim wraps around his head, he will be given one Noor on the Day of Judgement.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;[Suyuti, Al-Jami' as-Saghir, Page 353, Hadith 5725]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/11009223_10152647364855334_2052844949125025800_n.jpg?oh=15cff38bfe9cc98bdef7a8f47862b46b&amp;amp;oe=5552147F&amp;amp;__gda__=1431589993_08e3c756214b50ae7d34577e22e4af7f" alt="https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/11009223_10152647364855334_2052844949125025800_n.jpg?oh=15cff38bfe9cc98bdef7a8f47862b46b&amp;amp;oe=5552147F&amp;amp;__gda__=1431589993_08e3c756214b50ae7d34577e22e4af7f"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;5. My nation will remain steadfast on truth as long as they tie turbans on hats.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;[Daylami, Musnad Al-Firdows, Vol. 3, Page88, Hadith 4247]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;6. Indeed Allah sent Angels wearing these turbans to support me in (the battles of) Badar and Hunayn. Verily, turbans differentiate between Kufr (infidelity) and Iman (faith).&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;[Bayhaqi, Sunan al-Kubra, Vol. 10, Page 14, Hadith 18163]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;7. Imamahs are the crowns of the Arabs, so wear the Imamah and your honour will augment. Whoever wears an Imamah; he gains one virtue for every fold .&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;[Jam' al-Jawami', Vol. 5, Page 202, Hadith 14536]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;8. Tie the turban, your tolerance will increase.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;[Al-Mustadrak ala al-Sahihayn lil-Hakim, Vol. 5, Page 272, Hadith 7488]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;9. Offering Salah whilst wearing an Imamah is equivalent to 10,000 virtues.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;[Daylami, Firdaus bima' Saur al-Khattab, Vol. 2, Page 406, Hadith 3805]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://scontent-mxp.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/11015196_10152647365490334_4677920434888797482_n.jpg?oh=cc438497faf5efbe6b90d513d1e92c55&amp;amp;oe=5584FF10" alt="https://scontent-mxp.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/11015196_10152647365490334_4677920434888797482_n.jpg?oh=cc438497faf5efbe6b90d513d1e92c55&amp;amp;oe=5584FF10"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;10. Indeed, Allah and His angels send Salat upon those who wear Imamah (turban) on Friday.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;[Majma' al-Zawaid, Vol. 2, Page 394, Hadith 3075]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;11. One Salat al-Jumu'ah performed whilst wearing an Imamah is equivalent to 70 without it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;[Ibn Asakir, Tarikh Madinah Dimishq, Vol. 37, Page 355]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;12. AlaHadrat Mawlana Shah Imam Ahmad Rida Khan (Alayhir Rahmah) has stated:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;"The grandson of Sayyiduna Umar Farooq-e-Azam (Radi Allahu Anhu), Sayyiduna Saalim (Radi Allahu Anhu) said, "I came to my father Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Umar (Radi Allahu Anhu) who was tying the turban. Having tied his turban, he (Radi Allahu Anhu) looked at me and asked, "Do you like to wear turban?" I replied, "Why not!" Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Umar (Radi Allahu Anhu) said, "Adopt the Sunnah of wearing turban, you will gain respect and when Satan sees you in turban, he will turn his back. I heard the Rasool of Allah (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) say, "Offering one Salah with a turban is equivalent to offering twenty-five without turban, and one Jumu'ah with turban is equivalent to seventy without turban." Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (Radi Allahu Anhu) then said, "Oh son! Wear the turban because the angels tie the turban on Friday and send peace until sunset upon those who wear turban."&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;[Fatawa Radawiyyah, Vol. 6, Page 215]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10987302_10152647365105334_542608499211006661_n.jpg?oh=7d7d97868be0bee521734dc91e7edb8a&amp;amp;oe=559361F5&amp;amp;__gda__=1431361994_0fdc9e99e31373d25bfc2f40349921ce" alt="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10987302_10152647365105334_542608499211006661_n.jpg?oh=7d7d97868be0bee521734dc91e7edb8a&amp;amp;oe=559361F5&amp;amp;__gda__=1431361994_0fdc9e99e31373d25bfc2f40349921ce"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(11, 83, 148);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Important Notes:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1. Tie the Imamah whilst standing, and put on the Pajamah [Shalwar, lower garment] whilst sitting. Whoever does the opposite of this (i.e. he ties the Imamah whilst sitting, and puts on the lower garment whilst standing); he will be afflicted with a disease, for which there is no cure.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(39, 78, 19);"&gt;[Bahar-e-Shariat, Part 16, Page 303]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;2. Bind the Imamah whilst standing facing the Qiblah.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(39, 78, 19);"&gt;[Kashf al-Iltibas fi Istihbab al-Libas lil Shaykh Abd-ul-Haq Dehlawi, Page 38]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;3. It is more appropriate to wrap the first fold of the Imamah towards the right side of the head.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(39, 78, 19);"&gt;[Fatawa Radawiyyah, Vol. 22, Page 199]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;4. When one ties a turban, then the Shimlah (tail) should hang on the back, between both shoulders. There is a difference of opinion regarding the length of the Shimlah. However, the maximum length should be such, that when one sits, it is not pressed (under you).&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(39, 78, 19);"&gt;[Fatawa Alamgiri, Vol. 5, Page 330]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10440276_10152647364445334_5112687070471170548_n.jpg?oh=ec91e551ca25bd460e449cd673b76a58&amp;amp;oe=5548EC1D&amp;amp;__gda__=1435055432_6b62c7de67c915003bab2f835a23bfed" alt="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10440276_10152647364445334_5112687070471170548_n.jpg?oh=ec91e551ca25bd460e449cd673b76a58&amp;amp;oe=5548EC1D&amp;amp;__gda__=1435055432_6b62c7de67c915003bab2f835a23bfed"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;5. Some people do not hang a Shimlah at all. This is contrary to the Sunnah. There are some who bring it to the top and then tuck it into the turban. This too should not be done, especially in the condition of Salah, as it would be Makruh.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(39, 78, 19);"&gt;[Bahar-e-Shariat, Part 16, Page 418]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;6. The Shimlah (i.e. unwrapped end of the turban) of the blessed Imamah of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) would generally hang behind his blessed back, sometimes it would be on the right hand side, and sometimes there would be two Shimlahs between his two blessed shoulders. To keep the Shimlah on the left hand side is against the Sunnah.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(39, 78, 19);"&gt;[Ash'ah al-Lam'aat, Vol. 3, Page 582]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;7. The length of the Shimlah of the Imamah should be at least the width of four fingers, and at most up to the middle of the back, i.e. approximately the length of one arm.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(39, 78, 19);"&gt;[Fatawa Radawiyyah, Vol. 22, Page 182]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;8. When one wishes specifically to re-tie the turban, then it should not be removed and thrown onto the ground, but it should be unwrapped in the manner in which it was tied.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(39, 78, 19);"&gt;[Fatawa Alamgiri, Vol. 5, Page 330]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;9. The Holy Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) used to wear a white topi touching his head under his blessed turban.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(39, 78, 19);"&gt;[Madarij an-Nubuwwah, Vol. 1, Page 471]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10437349_10152647366105334_7315827225595937209_n.jpg?oh=a2eda5a238ebe18b2b8c99c4aa93309e&amp;amp;oe=55557438&amp;amp;__gda__=1431423085_17637aa4bc645cb5dc0f220d2657beba" alt="https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10437349_10152647366105334_7315827225595937209_n.jpg?oh=a2eda5a238ebe18b2b8c99c4aa93309e&amp;amp;oe=55557438&amp;amp;__gda__=1431423085_17637aa4bc645cb5dc0f220d2657beba"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;10. Even though it is proven that Rasoolullah (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) wore a topi but the beloved Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) also used to wear an Amaama (Turban). In other words, under the turban, he used to wear a topi, and He said that the difference between unbelievers and us is the tying of the turban on a topi. In other words, we keep both these things and they only tie the turban. They do not wear a topi under their turbans. Hence, even when the kuffaar here wear the turban, they do not wear a topi underneath it. Some have explained this Hadith to mean that wearing only the topi is the manner of the mushrikeen (polytheists), but this assertion is incorrect, because even the mushrikeen of Arabia used to tie turbans. It is clearly mentioned in Mirkaat, the annotation of Mishkaat that the small size turban of the beloved Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) was of seven hands in length and the large size turban was of twelve hands in length. In short, the turban should be kept according to this Sunnah (in length). It should not exceed this in length. Some people wear huge (i.e. long) turbans. This should not be done as it is contrary to the Sunnah. In Maarwar (a place in India), many people there tie turbans that are not very wide, but are forty and fifty yards in length. Muslims should not tie turbans like these.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(39, 78, 19);"&gt;[Bahar-e-Shariat, Part 16, Page 419]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;11. One should tie it giving a shape like that of a dome. What we now see in Arabia is not Sunnah but it is called I'tijaar, meaning tying the turban round the head and keeping the middle part open. The scholars have deem I'itijaar as Makruh.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(39, 78, 19);"&gt;[Fatawa Radawiyyah, Vol. 22, Page 186-187]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;12. I'tijaar, in other words to tie the turban in such a manner that it is not on the head in the middle, is Makruh-e-Tahreemi. To tie an Imamah in this way, even out of Salah is Makruh.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(39, 78, 19);"&gt;[Bahar-e-Shariat, Part 3, Page 372]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;13. I'tijaar is to tie the Imamah and leaving the hat (topi) uncovered.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(39, 78, 19);"&gt;[Waqar al-Fatawa, Vol. 2, Page 248 | Fatawa Bahr al-Uloom, Page 106-107]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10801895_10152647366890334_2578865542324396598_n.jpg?oh=75f56caaafcd553e4e631a8ee971ad75&amp;amp;oe=5558136E&amp;amp;__gda__=1431555089_2846cf7835fa1e06d4e0fe27ab004715" alt="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10801895_10152647366890334_2578865542324396598_n.jpg?oh=75f56caaafcd553e4e631a8ee971ad75&amp;amp;oe=5558136E&amp;amp;__gda__=1431555089_2846cf7835fa1e06d4e0fe27ab004715"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;14. If you have a large kerchief with which you can produce enough folds to cover the whole head, then it will be considered as an Imamah. It is Makruh to bind a small kerchief with which one can only produce one or two folds.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(39, 78, 19);"&gt;[Fatawa Radawiyyah, Vol. 7, Page 299]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;15. If Imamah is to be taken off out of some need and there is intention to bind it again, then one sin will be effaced on unwinding each fold.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(39, 78, 19);"&gt;[Fatawa Radawiyyah, Vol. 6, Page 214]&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;16. The blessed Imamah of the Holy Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) was often white, sometimes black and sometimes green.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(39, 78, 19);"&gt;[Kashf al-Iltibas fi Istihbab al-Libas lil Shaykh Abd-ul-Haq Dehlawi, Page 38]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;17. Acting upon the auspicious Sunnah of the Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) i.e. tying the turban relieves one from severe depression and fortifies the capability of endurance. According to the latest scientific research, the fortunate Muslim who adorns an Imamah on a regular basis will remain secured from stroke and various blood-related illnesses. This is because, with the blessings of adorning the Imamah Sharif, the pressure of the blood in the large blood vessels leading towards the brain remains in accordance with its requirement, and so surplus blood is not transported to the brain! Hence, in America, an Imamah-like mask has now been designed for the treatment of stroke.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/1463036_10152647366365334_6830910913516124022_n.jpg?oh=0fd8c5d9fe58e59ab8155d2b910dab38&amp;amp;oe=554F50DB&amp;amp;__gda__=1431058827_5fa2b8f019f58591df1cfc68ebc9639c" alt="https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/1463036_10152647366365334_6830910913516124022_n.jpg?oh=0fd8c5d9fe58e59ab8155d2b910dab38&amp;amp;oe=554F50DB&amp;amp;__gda__=1431058827_5fa2b8f019f58591df1cfc68ebc9639c"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" size="2" style="font-size:10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(42, 42, 42);line-height:16px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)"&gt;--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="line-height:16px;color:rgb(42, 42, 42);background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(42, 42, 42);line-height:16px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)"&gt;Shahzad Afzal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="line-height:16px;color:rgb(42, 42, 42);background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pakistanprobe.com/" style="line-height:16px;color:rgb(0, 104, 207);cursor:pointer;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.pakistanprobe.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="ecxemailfooter"&gt;

At that time, there was  no Heaven, Hell, Lawh (Divine  Tablet), Pen, Earth, Skies, Sun, Moon,  Jinn or Human Beings. When He  decided to create, He divided that Noor  into four parts. From one part  He created the Pen, from the second, the  Lawh and from the third, he  made the Arsh (Throne). He divided the  fourth part into a further four  parts. From one, He created those  Angels who carry the Arsh, from the  second, the Kursi (Divine Chair)  and from the third, He created the  Angels. He again divided the  remaining parts into  a further four parts.  From one, He created the skies. The second was  used in creating the  planets. From the third, Heaven and Earth were  created. Once again, He  divided the fourth part into a further four  parts. From one part He  created the power with which the believers see.  From the second, He  created in the hearts of the Believers the Noor of  Marifat. From the  third, He created Noor in the tongues of the  Believers, so that they can  read the Kalima of Tawheed.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;font size="4" style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4" style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;References:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;font size="4" style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="color:rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;1.

In condemnation of him a whole Surah of the Holy Qur'an   descended.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;blockquote style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"&gt;&lt;b style="color:rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;font size="4" style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;لَمَّا   مَاتَ أَبُو لَهَب رَأَيْته فِي مَنَامِي بَعْد حَوْل فِي شَرّ حَال   فَقَالَ : مَا لَقِيت بَعْدكُمْ رَاحَة ، إِلَّا أَنَّ الْعَذَاب يُخَفَّف   عَنِّي كُلّ يَوْم اِثْنَيْنِ ، قَالَ : وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى   الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وُلِدَ يَوْم الِاثْنَيْنِ ، وَكَانَتْ   ثُوَيْبَة بَشَّرَتْ أَبَا لَهَب بِمَوْلِدِهِ فَأَعْتَقَهَا&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;font size="4" style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt; After his death,  people of Abu Lahab's household saw him in a dream, and  asked him how  he had fared.

Love of Allah and His Messenger is before anything &amp;amp; everything&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He said "If my heart was ever divided into two parts, one of them would have written on it "laa ilaaha illAllah" and on the other "Muhammadur Rasulullah"!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;u style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;2. Defending the Honour of the Noble Messenger (upon him peace &amp;amp; blessings)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He did not tolerate blasphemy (disrespect) of the Noble Messenger or of the pious companions or Awliya and stood strongly against the corrupted groups of his time for this reason.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;3. Education and transmission of authentic knowledge&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He was a dedicated teacher and some of the greatest Ulama of India were his students, among them are:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4" style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;His two sons, Hujjatul Islam (Proof of Islam) Hamid Rida Khan &amp;amp; Mufti-e-Azam Hind (the grand Mufti of India), Mustafa Rida Khan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4" style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Sadrus Shariah (Front line scholar of Islamic Law): Amjad Ali al-A'zami&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4" style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Malik al-Ulema (King of the Ulama): Zafaruddin Bihari&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4" style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Sayyid Muhammad Muhadith-e-Kachouchwi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4" style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Qutb-e-Madina: Ziya'uddin Ahmad al-Madani &amp;amp; others&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;font size="4" style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;u style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;4. Self-Purification&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He followed the spiritual path (tariqa) of Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani and loved all the Sufiya (Awliya). He made thousands repent from sins in his gatherings&amp;nbsp; and his entire life was spent purifying hearts and summoning people to Allah Almighty&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;u style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;5. Praise of the Messenger through writing and poems&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;His Durood-o-Salam is recited all over the world after Jum'ua and at the ends of religious events in mosques and homes like the Qasidah Burdah. His most famous book of Na'ats is called "Hada'iq-e-Bakshish" containing some of the finest praises of Allah and of His chosen people.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;u style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;6. Following the Sunnah of the Messenger (upon him peace &amp;amp; blessings) to the smallest detail&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The character of the Noble Messenger (upon him peace &amp;amp; blessings) was imprinted in Imam Ahmed Rida's life. He staunchly practised the Sunnah and so did his disciples and students.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;u style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;7. Uncompromising defence of the Ahlus-Sunnah beliefs and practises&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He authored more than two hundred books on the teachings of the Ahlus-Sunnah and their defence.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/401451_10150480939805334_994512224_n.jpg?oh=8bf2a72cff509b56b602fc3ed11bd21b&amp;amp;oe=551106BE&amp;amp;__gda__=1425966975_a28fab15e922e966e02ed21f397908d7" alt="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/401451_10150480939805334_994512224_n.jpg?oh=8bf2a72cff509b56b602fc3ed11bd21b&amp;amp;oe=551106BE&amp;amp;__gda__=1425966975_a28fab15e922e966e02ed21f397908d7"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;font size="4" style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;His Books&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Imam Ahmed Rida wrote more than a thousand books and commentaries in more than 55 sciences. A list of about 350 books is available titled "al-Mujmal al Mu'addid". A bulky 12 volume Hanafi fatwa collection: "Fataawa-e-Ridawiyyah" in Urdu/Arabic was recently published in Lahore (Pakistan) with an index in 33 volumes! His Fataawa are an ocean of knowledge and wisdom.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Sunni Muslims of the sub-continent (India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan) remember the great Imam for his service to the Ahlus-Sunnah and consider him a saviour when the Sunni-way was at threat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img width="715" height="230" src="https://scontent-b-cdg.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/163243_490595985333_3770515_n.jpg?oh=7187633e4b13f2e64e25fcb09cc04c26&amp;amp;oe=54FE3339" alt="https://scontent-b-cdg.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/163243_490595985333_3770515_n.jpg?oh=7187633e4b13f2e64e25fcb09cc04c26&amp;amp;oe=54FE3339"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;font size="4" style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;His Demise and Burial&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Imam Ahmed Rida passed away on 28th October 1921 CE (25th Safar 1340h) at the age of 65, in his home at Jumu'ah time when the mu'adhin was saying "come to success" leaving behind two sons, Mowlana Hamid Raza and Mufti Mustafa Raza, and five daughters.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;People from all over the world visit his blessed shrine in Bareilly Shareef every year on 25th Safar and attend the annual khatam (Blessed URS).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The great grandson who takes care of the affairs of the school of Imam Ahmed Rida in Bareilly is Mufti Akhtar Rida Khan, a fine scholar and graduate of al-Azhar University in Egypt.

For  the condition of sacrificing, the Malik-e-Nisab is the person  who  possesses 52 ½ tolas (620 grammes) of silver or 7 ½ tolas (88  grammes)  of gold; or they have the same amount equivalent to either of  the above  item in value in business goods or non-business goods, which  are not  goods that are the basic necessities of life. The wealth and/or  property  should be 'extra'/above one's basic necessities  (hajat-e-asliyyah).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 2. Nowadays, the price of silver is less. The price of silver in   current-day value is approximately £2 per tola. Therefore, anyone who   possess the value of: £2 x 52 ½ tola = £105 - which exceeds his/her   basic necessities and also the debt which is to be paid back – then it   is wajib on such a person to sacrifice an animal.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 3. Such a Malik-e-Nisab who has already sacrificed an animal on  behalf  of himself, and the following year he is still a Malik-e-Nisab  then  again it is wajib upon him to sacrifice an animal on his behalf.  This  ruling applies for each year (that sacrificing is wajib if a person  is a  Malik-e-Nisab). It has been stated in a Hadith: "It is wajib upon   every household to sdacrifice an animal each year." &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 4. If a Malik-e-Nisab sacrifices on behalf of someone else, instead  of  sacrificing an animal on behalf of himself (i.e. does not sacrifice  an  animal on his behalf), then he has committed a great sin. Thus, if he   wants to sacrifice on someone else's behalf, then he should make   preparations to buy another animal and sacrifice it.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 5. Some people who think that, "It is wajib only once in a lifetime  to  sacrifice an animal on one's behalf" is farce and wrong, which has no   proof; as it is wajib upon a Malik-e-Nisab to sacrifice an animal on   his behalf each year.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 6. In villages, it is permissible to sacrifice animals on the 10th  of  Dhu'l Hijjah after the break of dawn (Subh-e-Sadiq). However, it is   Mustahab to sacrifice it after sunrise. &lt;span style="color:rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;[Fatawa-e-'Alamgiri Vol. 5 Page 260]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;BR&gt; &lt;div style="text-align:center;"&gt;&lt;font size="4" style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;    &lt;br&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;div style="text-align:center;"&gt;&lt;img width="720" height="540" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEg5lMOB5GUakGVDFakL4NCRvaovB-Bm7yPDOOw-i5rEa2hwzHiCo8CLSrqzpAUuaW0VlPWnFeiCSoBX9enj4cEXIHxVl2oG1rH9L8xaljYzsZTFLpc5nl9t_wOZJJQVPjeEcHBA750q1XFSgpLKz0nqi22v2Q9AZLfDsDeHPo9TGniWY7gYKdmZBO3v0jQp4YPAv1vBSfJXdyPH5DlSr2ni=s0-d-e1-ft" alt="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/311015_10150349541450334_1482407221_n.jpg"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;font size="4" style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;font size="4" style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt; 7. It is not permissible to sacrifice animals before the Eid prayer in cities and towns. &lt;span style="color:rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;[Bahar-e-Shari'at]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 8.  Such a poor person - who cannot afford to sacrifice an animal -  should  also refrain from shaving or trimming hair and clipping nails;  so as to  resemble the pilgrims on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 9. It is permissible for a resident of a city or a town to send his   animal to a person living in a village; and have it sacrificed before   the Eid prayer; and then have the meat sent back to him in the city or   town. &lt;span style="color:rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;[al-Durr al-Mukhtar]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 10. It is not permissible to give the skin or the meat of the   sacrificed animal as the wage to the butcher or the one who has   sacrificed the animal. &lt;span style="color:rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;[al-Durr al-Mukhtar]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 11. It is not permissible to give the meat of a sacrificed animal to any infidel.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 12. The method of sacrificing an animal is to lay it on its left,  such  that its face is towards the Qiblah and then place the right foot  on  its side and holding a sharp knife (concealed obviously from the  animal  or if it is blind-folded then there is no harm). The animal should be  sacrificed using a sharp knife.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;BR&gt; &lt;font size="4" style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;13. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4" style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;If Qurbani has been performed on behalf of someone who has passed away,  then the meat can be eaten by the person himself, it can be gifted to  friends, as well as donated to the poor. It is not necessary to donate  all of the meat to the poor, as the meat is in his ownership and he can  do as he wishes. However, if the deceased requested for Qurbani to be  done on his behalf, then all the meat should be distributed to the poor,  he should not eat from it. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4" style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;[Bahar-e-Shari'at]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;BR&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:center;"&gt;&lt;img width="715" height="413" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/383988_10150349541570334_427209656_n.jpg" alt="https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/383988_10150349541570334_427209656_n.jpg" style=""&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;14. If the Qurbani is of Mannat (vow), then the meat cannot be eaten by  the person himself, nor can it be given to the rich. It is wajib to give  all of the meat to the poor as Sadaqah. Whether the person who has made  the vow is poor or whether he is rich, the ruling for them is the same;  he cannot eat it himself, nor can he give it to the rich.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4" style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;[Bahar-e-Shari'at]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4" style="font-family:georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 15. The animal's skin, reins, saddle etc should all be given in   sadaqah, one can use the skin for their own usage, such as to make the   skin into a leather bag or a prayer mat. However, one cannot sell the   skin to someone else, and then use the money for their own benefit. If   this has been done, then the money received should be given as sadaqah.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 16. Nowadays, people give the animal skin to Madrissahs and other   Islamic institutions. This is perfectly permissible. If one sells the   skin with the intention of giving the money received to the Madrissa,   then this is also permissible. &lt;span style="color:rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;['Alamgiri, Bahar-e-Shari'at]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 17. The skin of the sacrificed animal cannot be given to the Imam as   his wage. Yes, however, it can be given to him as a gift or for his   benefit. &lt;span style="color:rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;[Bahar-e-Shari'at]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 18.  A camel must be at least five years old; a buffalo should be at  least  two years old; and a sheep, lamb or a goat should be at least one  year  old. &lt;span style="color:rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;[al-Durr al-Mukhtar]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 19. The animal intended to be slaughtered should be big and health,  and  should be free from any faults or defects. If there is a minor  defect  in the animal, then the Qurbani will count, but it is Makruh. If  there  is a major defect, then the Qurbani will not count. &lt;span style="color:rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;[al-Durr al-Mukhtar, Radd al-Muhtar, Fatawa-e-'Alamgiri]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; 20. Some think that sacrificing one animal will suffice for one whole   household; all of whom are Malik-e-Nisab. This is wrong. Each and every   person from such a household should sacrifice an animal on their  behalf.  Yes, however, a household can share seven parts from a 'large'  animal  such as a camel, cow, buffalo etc.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;BR&gt; &lt;div style="text-align:center;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"

اتفاق ہے کہ رسول اﷲ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے بعد حضرت ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ ، انکے بعد حضرت عمر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ ، پھر حضرت عثمان رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ اور اسکے بعد حضرت علی رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ ، انکے بعد عشرہ مبشرہ کے دیگر حضرات رضوان اللہ تعالی علیہم اجمعین، پھر اصحابِ بدر رضوان اللہ تعالی علیہم اجمعین، پھر باقی اصحابِ اُحد رضوان اللہ تعالی علیہم اجمعین انکے بعد بیعتِ رضوان والے اصحاب رضوان اللہ تعالی علیہم اجمعین اور انکے بعد دیگر اصحابِ رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم تمام لوگوں سے افضل ہیں۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;(تاریخ الخلفاء: ١٠٨)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;حضرت ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ کو سب سے پہلے اسلام لانے کا شرف حاصل ہے۔ بعض کے نزدیک حضرت علی رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ سب سے پہلے ایمان لائے ہیں۔ امام اعظم ابوحنیفہ رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ نے اس طرح کے مختلف اقوال میں یوں تطبیق کی ہے کہ مردوں میں سیدنا ابوبکر صدیق رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ ، عورتوں میں حضرت خدیجہ رضی اللہ عنہا اور بچوں میں سیدنا علی رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ کو سب سے پہلے ایمان لانے کا اعزاز حاصل ہے۔&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;تمام علماء کا اس پر اتفاق ہے کہ سیدنا ابوبکر صدیق رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ قبولِ اسلام کے بعد سے آقا و مولیٰ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے وصال مبارک تک ہمیشہ سفر وحضر میں آپ کے رفیق رہے بجز اس کے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے حکم یا اجازت سے آپ کے ساتھ نہ رہ سکے ہوں۔&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;آپ تمام صحابہ کرام میں سب سے زیادہ سخی تھے۔آپ نے کثیر مال خرچ کر کے کئی مسلمان غلام آزاد کرائے۔ ایک موقع پر سرکارِ دوعالم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا، ابوبکر کے مال نے مجھے جتنا نفع دیا اتنا کسی کے مال نے نہیں دیا۔ اس پر حضرت ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ نے روتے ہوئے عرض کی، ''میرے آقا! میں اور میرا مال سب آپ ہی کا ہے''۔&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;تمام صحابہ کرام میں آپ ہی سب سے زیادہ عالم تھے۔ آپ سے ایک سوبیالیس احادیث مروی ہیں حالانکہ آپ کو بکثرت احادیث یاد تھیں۔ قلتِ روایت کا سبب یہ ہے کہ احتیاط کے پیشِ نظر آپ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کا عمل یا اس سے حاصل شدہ مسئلہ بیان فرمایا کرتے۔ آپ سب سے زیادہ قرآن اوردینی احکام جاننے والے تھے،اسی لیے رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے آپ کو نمازوں کا امام بنایا تھا۔آپ اُن خاص صحابہ میں سے تھے جنہوں نے قرآن کریم حفظ کیا تھا۔&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;حضرت علی رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ فرماتے ہیں کہ قرآن مجید کے سلسلے میں سب سے زیادہ اجروثواب حضرت ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ کو ملے گا کیونکہ سب سے پہلے قرآن کریم کتاب کی صورت میں آپ ہی نے جمع کیا۔&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;حضرت ابن مسیب رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ فرماتے ہیں، حضرت ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے وزیرِ خاص تھے چنانچہ حضور صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم آپ سے تمام امور میں مشورہ فرمایا کرتے تھے۔ آپ اسلام میں ثانی، غار میں ثانی، یومِ بدر میں سائبان میں ثانی اور مدفن میں بھی حضور صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے ساتھ ثانی ہیں۔ رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے آپ پر کسی کو فضیلت نہیں دی۔&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;آپ کا سب سے بڑا کارنامہ مرتدوں سے جہاد اور ان کے فتنے کا مکمل انسداد ہے۔ یمامہ، بحرین اور عمان وغیرہ کے مرتدین کی سرکوبی کے بعد اسلامی افواج نے ایلہ، مدائن اور اجنادین کے معرکوں میں فتح حاصل کی۔آپ کی خلافت کی مدت دو سال سات ماہ ہے۔&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;سیدنا ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ نے وصال کے وقت اپنی صاحبزادی حضرت عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا سے فرمایا، یہ اونٹنی جس کا ہم دودھ پیتے ہیں اور یہ بڑا پیالہ جس میں ہم کھاتے پیتے ہیں اور یہ چادر جو میں اوڑھے ہوئے ہوں، ان تین چیزوں کے سوا میرے پاس بیتُ المال کی کوئی چیزنہیں۔ ان چیزوں سے ہم اسوقت تک نفع لے سکتے تھے جب تک میں امورِ خلافت انجام دیتا تھا۔ میرے انتقال کے بعد تم ان چیزوں کو حضرت عمر کے پاس بھیج دینا۔ آپ کے وصال کے بعد جب یہ چیزیں سیدنا عمر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ کو واپس کی گئیں تو انہوں نے فرمایا، اللہ تعالیٰ ابوبکر پر رحم فرمائے۔ انہوں نے اپنے جانشین کو مشقت میں ڈال دیا۔&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;امام شعبی رحمہ اللہ نے روایت کیاہے کہ حضرت ابو بکر صدیق رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ کو اﷲ تعالیٰ نے چار ایسی خصوصیات سے متصف فرمایا جن سے کسی اور کو سرفراز نہیں فرمایا۔&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;اوّل: آپ کا نام صدیق رکھا۔&lt;br&gt;دوم : آپ غار ثور میں محبوبِ خدا اکے ساتھی رہے۔&lt;br&gt;سوم: آپ ہجرت میں حضور صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے رفیقِ سفر رہے۔&lt;br&gt;چہارم: حضور صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے اپنی حیات مبارکہ میں ہی آپ کو صحابہ کی نمازوں کا امام بنا دیا۔&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;آپ کی ایک اورخصوصیت یہ ہے کہ آپ کی چار نسلوں نے صحابی ہونے کا شرف پایا۔ آپ صحابی، آپ کے والد ابو قحافہ صحابی ، آپ کے بیٹے عبدالرحمٰن صحابی اور انکے بیٹے ابو عتیق محمد بھی صحابی رضوان اللہ تعالی علیہم اجمعین۔&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; (ماخوذ از تاریخ الخلفاء)&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;font

١١١)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;2۔ ابن عساکررحمہ اللہ نے روایت کیا ہے کہ اﷲ تعالیٰ نے رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے سلسلے میں حضرت ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ کے سوا تمام مسلمانوں پر عتاب فرمایا ہے جیسا کہ مذکورہ بالا آیت کریمہ کے آغاز میں ہے۔&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;اِلَّا تَنْصُرُوْہُ

فرماتے ہیں، یہ آیت اس دعوے کی دلیل ہے کہ رب تعالیٰ نے سیدنا ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ کو اس عتاب سے مستثنیٰ فرمایا ہے۔ (تاریخ الخلفاء: ١١٣)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;3۔ حضرت انس رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ جب آیت اِنَّ اللّٰہَ وَ مَلٰئِکَتَہ، یُصَلُّوْنَ عَلَی النَّبِیِّ نازل ہوئی تو حضرت ابوبکر صدیق رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ نے عرض کی ، یا رسول اﷲا! اﷲ تعالیٰ جو فضل وشرف

علیہ)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;بزاروابن عساکررحمہما اللہ نے اس آیت کے شان نزول کے متعلق روایت کی ہے کہ ایک مرتبہ حضرت علی رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ نے اس طرح ارشادفرمایا، ''قسم ہے اُس رب کی جس نے حضرت محمد صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کو رسول بناکر بھیجا اور حضرت ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ سے اس رسالت کی تصدیق کرائی''۔ اس پر یہ آیت نازل ہوئی۔ (تاریخ الخلفاء:١١٢)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;حضرت علی رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ سے مروی ہے کہ حق لیکر آنے والے سے مراد رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم اور تصدیق کرنے والے سے مراد حضرت ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ دیق رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ ہیں۔ حضرت ابوہریرہص سے بھی یہی مروی ہے۔ (تفسیرکبیر، تفسیر مظہری، ازالۃ الخفاء ج٢:٢٢٥)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;شیعہ مذہب کی مستند تفسیر مجمع البیان میں بھی یہی تفسیر منقول ہے۔ (ج٨:٤٩٨)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;5۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;وَلِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبّہ

نے حضرت عروہ رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ سے روایت کی ہے کہ حضرت ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ نے سات غلاموں کو اسلام کی خاطر آزاد کیا۔اس پر یہ آیات نازل ہوئیں۔ (تفسیر مظہری، تفسیر روح المعانی)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;صدرُالافاضل رحمہ اللہ رقمطراز ہیں کہ جب حضرت صدیق اکبر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ نے حضرت بلال رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ کو بہت گراں قیمت پر خرید کر آزاد کیا تو کفار کو حیرت ہوئی اور انہوں نے کہا ،بلا ل کا ان پر کوئی احسان ہو گا جو انہوں نے اتنی قیمت دے کر خریدا اور آزاد کیا ۔اس پر یہ آیت نازل ہوئی اور ظاہر فرما دیا گیا کہ حضرت صد یق اکبر کا یہ فعل محض اﷲ تعالیٰ کی رضا کے لیے ہے، کسی کے احسان کا بدلہ نہیں۔ (خزائن العرفان)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;قاضی ثناء اﷲ پانی پتی رحمہ اللہ آخری آےت کی تفسیر میں لکھتے ہیں ،''یہ آیت

دن قبل یہ بات ارشاد فرمائی۔ اس بناء پر شارحین فرماتے ہیں کہ اس حدیث میں سیدنا ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ کی خلافت کی طرف اشارہ ہے اور دوسروں کی گفتگو کا دروازہ بند کر دیا گیا ہے۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;(اشعۃ اللمعات)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;3۔ حضرت عبدﷲبن مسعود رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ

لے گا۔ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا،اے ابوبکر! تمہارا ان دو کے متعلق کیا خیال ہے جن میں کا تیسرا اللہ تعالیٰ ہے۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;(مسلم کتاب فضائل

فرمایا ، اس کے والدِ محترم یعنی ابوبکر۔ میں عرض گزار ہوا کہ پھر کون؟ فرمایا ، عمر۔ پس میں اس ڈر سے خاموش ہو گیا کہ مبادا مجھے سب سے آخر میں رکھیں۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0,

کہ کہیں یہ نہ فرمائیں کہ عثمان رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ ، اس لیے میں نے عرض کی کہ پھر آپ ہیں؟ فرمایا ، میں تو مسلمانوں میں سے ایک فرد ہوں۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;(بخاری کتابُ

پھر ارشاد ہوا،تم میں سے آج کس شخص نے مریض کی عیادت کی؟ آپ ہی نے عرض کی، میں نے۔ آقا کریم انے فرمایا، جس شخص میں (ایک ہی دن میں)یہ اوصاف جمع ہونگے وہ جنتی ہو گا۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color:

زمانہ میں ہم کسی کو ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ کے برابر شمار نہیں کیا کرتے تھے، پھر حضرت عمر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ کو، پھر حضرت عثمان رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ کو دیگر صحابہ پر فضیلت دیتے اور پھر نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے اصحاب میں سے کسی کو دوسرے پر فضیلت نہ دیتے۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;(بخاری کتابُ المناقب)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;9۔ انہی سے مروی ہے کہ رحمتِ دوعالم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کی حیاتِ ظاہری میں ہم کہا کرتے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کی امت میں آپ اکے بعد افضل ترین حضرت ابوبکر ہیں، پھرحضرت عمر، پھر حضرت عثمان رضی اللہ عنہم اجمعین۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;(ترمذی، ابوداؤد)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="rtl" style="text-align:

ہے جس کو جنت کے تمام دروازوں سے جنت میں جانے کے لیے بلایا جائے گا؟ آقا ومولیٰ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا، ہاں اے ابوبکر! مجھے امید ہے کہ تم ایسے ہی لوگوں میں سے ہو۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;(بخاری کتابُ المناقب)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;11۔ حضرت عمر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ نے فرمایا کہ حضرت ابو بکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ

عنہ اپنا سارا مال لے آئے تو فرمایا ، اے ابو بکر اپنے گھر والوں کے لئے کیا چھوڑا ہے؟ عرض گزار ہوئے ، ان کے لئے اﷲ اور اس کے رسول کو چھوڑ آیا ہوں ۔ میں نے کہا ، میں ان سے کبھی نہیں بڑھ سکتا۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;(ترمذی،ابو داؤد)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;15۔ حضرت عائشہ صدیقہ رضی اﷲ عنہا سے روایت ہے کہ حضرت ابو بکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ رسول اﷲا کی

فرمایا،میرے پاس جبریل آئے تو میرا ہاتھ پکڑا تاکہ مجھے جنت کا وہ دروازہ دکھائیں جس سے میری امت داخل ہوگی۔ حضرت ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ نے عرض کی، یا رسول اﷲا! میں چاہتا ہوں کہ میں آپ کے ساتھ ہوتا ، تاکہ اس دروازے کو دیکھتا۔ رسول اﷲا نے فرمایا، اے ابوبکر! تم میری امت میں سب سے پہلے جنت میں داخل ہوگے۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0,

ہی اسلام قبول کر لیا اور پھر اس پر ثابت قدم رہے۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;(تاریخ الخلفاء:٩٨، ابن عساکر)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;22۔ حضرت معاذ بن جبلص سے روایت ہے کہ سیدِ عالم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے ایک مسئلہ میں میری رائے دریافت فرمائی تو میں نے عرض کی، میری رائے وہی ہے جو ابوبکر کی رائے ہے۔ اس پر آقا کریم انے فرمایا، اللہ تعالیٰ کو یہ پسند نہیں کہ ابوبکر غلطی کریں۔&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;(تاریخ الخلفاء:١٠٧، ابونعیم، طبرانی)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;23۔ حضرت حفصہ رضی اللہ عنہا سے روایت کیا ہے کہ میں نے آقا و مولیٰ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم سے عرض کی، آپ نے اپنی علالت کے ایام میں حضرت ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ کو امام بنایا تھا۔ حضور صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا، نہیں! میں نے نہیں بنایا تھا بلکہ اللہ تعالیٰ نے بنایا تھا(یعنی اللہ تعالیٰ کے حکم سے انہیں امام بنایا تھا)۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;(تاریخ الخلفاء:١٢٦ ، ابن

سارے اعمال اُن کے ایک دن کے اعمال جیسے یا اُن کی ایک رات کے اعمال جیسے ہوتے۔ پس رات تو وہ رات ہے جب وہ رسول اﷲا کے ساتھ غار کی طرف چلے۔ جب غار تک پہنچے تو عرض گزار ہوئے، خدا کی قسم! آپ اس میں داخل نہیں ہوںگے جب تک میں اس میں داخل نہ ہو جاؤںکیونکہ اگر اس میں کوئی چیز ہے تو اس کی تکلیف آپ کی جگہ مجھے پہنچے۔ پھر وہ داخل ہوئے اور غار کو صاف کیا۔ اس کی ایک جانب سوراخ تھے تو اپنی ازار کو پھاڑ کر انہیں بند کیا۔ دو سوراخ باقی رہ گئے تو انہیں اپنی ایڑیوں سے روک لیا۔ پھر رسول اﷲ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کی بارگاہ میں عرض گزار ہوئے کہ تشریف لے آئیے۔ رسول ُاﷲ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم اندر داخل ہوئے اور انکی گود میں سرِ مبارک رکھ کر سو گئے۔پس ایک سوراخ میں سے حضرت ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ پیر میں ڈنگ مارا گیا تو انہوں نے اس ڈر سے حرکت نہ کی کہ آقا ومولیٰ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم بیدار ہوجائیں گے لیکن ان کے آنسو رسول اﷲا کے نورانی چہرے پر گر پڑے۔ فرمایا کہ ابو بکر ! کیا بات ہے؟ عرض کیا، میرے ماں باپ آپ پر قربان، مجھے ڈنگ مارا گیا ہے۔ چنانچہ رسول اﷲ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے لعابِ دہن لگا دیا تو انکی تکلیف جاتی رہی۔ پھر اس زہرنے عود کیا اور وہی انکی وفات کا سبب بنا۔ اُن کا دن وہ دن ہے کہ جب رسول اﷲا نے وفات پائی تو اس وقت بعض اہلِ عرب مرتد ہو گئے اور کہا کہ ہم زکوٰۃ ادا نہیں کریں گے تو انہوں نے فرمایا ، اگر کوئی اونٹ کا گھٹنا باندھنے کی رسی بھی روکے گا تو میں اس کے ساتھ جہاد کروں گا۔ میں عرض گزار ہوا کہ اے خلیفہ رسول ا! لوگوں سے الفت کیجیے اور ان سے نرمی کا سلوک فرمائیے۔ انہوں نے مجھ سے فرمایا، تم جاہلیت میں بہادر تھے تو کیا اسلام لا کر بزدل ہو گئے ہو؟بے شک وحی منقطع ہو گئی، دین مکمل ہو گیا ، کیا یہ دین میرے جیتے جی بدل جائے گا؟&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0,

الایمان للبیہقی)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;26۔ حضرت عامر بن عبداللہ بن زبیرث سے مروی ہے کہ جب آیت وَلَوْ اَنَّا کَتَبْنَا عَلَیْہِمْ اَنِ اقْتُلُوْا اَنْفُسَکُمْ (ترجمہ:اوراگر ہم اُن پر فرض کردیتے کہ اپنے آپ کو قتل کر دو)نازل ہوئی تو حضرت ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ نے عرض کی، یا رسول اللہ! اگر آپ مجھے حکم دیتے کہ میں خودکو قتل کر لوں تو میں خود کو ضرور قتل کر دیتا۔ حضور صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا، تم نے سچ کہا۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;(تاریخ الخلفاء:١٢٠، ابن ابی حاتم)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;27۔ حضرت ابوسعید خُدری رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم منبر پر تشریف فرما ہوئے اور فرمایا، اللہ تعالیٰ نے ایک بندے کو اس کا اختیار دیاکہ وہ دنیا کی نعمتیں پسند کر لے یا آخرت کی نعمتیں جو اللہ کے پاس ہیں تو اُس نے آخرت کی نعمتیں پسند کر لیں ۔ یہ سنتے ہی حضرت ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ رونے لگے اور عرض کی، یارسول اللہ!کاش ہمارے ماں باپ آپ پر قربان ہو جائیں۔ ہمیں تعجب ہوا کہ حضور صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کسی شخص کا ذکر فرمارہے ہیں اور یہ کہہ رہے ہیں، آپ پر ہمارے ماں باپ قربان ہو جائیں۔ بعد میں ہمیں علم ہوا کہ وہ صاحبِ اختیار بندے خود حضور صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم ہی تھے۔ پس حضرت ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ ہم سب سے زیادہ علم والے تھے۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;(بخاری، مسلم)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;28۔ حضرت علی رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ نے لوگوں سے پوچھا ، یہ بتاؤ کہ سب سے زیادہ بہادر کون ہے؟ لوگوں نے کہا، آپ۔ سیدنا علی رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ نے فرمایا، نہیں !سب سے زیادہ بہادر حضرت ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ ہیں۔ سنو! جنگِ بدر میں ہم نے رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے لیے ایک سائبان بنایا تھا۔ ہم نے آپس میں مشورہ کیا کہ اس سائبان کے نیچے حضور کے ساتھ کون رہے گا ، کہیں ایسا نہ ہو کہ کوئی مشرک آقاومولیٰ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم پر حملہ کر دے۔ خدا کی قسم! ہم میں سے کوئی بھی آگے نہیں بڑھا تھا کہ سیدنا ابوبکر رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ ہاتھ میں برہنہ تلوار لیے ہوئے حضور صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے پاس کھڑے ہوگئے اور پھر کسی مشرک کو آپ کے پاس آنے کی جرأت نہ ہو سکی۔ اگر کوئی ناپاک ارادے سے قریب بھی آیا تو آپ فوراً اس پر ٹوٹ پڑے ۔ اس لیے آپ ہی سب سے زیادہ بہادر تھے۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;(تاریخ الخلفاء: ١٠٠،مسند بزار)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font

اسلام کی تبلیغ و اشاعت اور تحفظ و استحکام کے لیے طریقت کے جس خاندان کو منتخب فرمایا وہ سلسلۂ چشت ہے اس سلسلہ کی نامور اور بزرگ ہستی خواجہ غریب نواز حضرت معین الدین چشتی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ کو ہندوستان میں اسلامی حکومت کی بنیاد سے پہلے ہی اس بات کا غیبی طور پر اشارا مل چکا تھا کہ وہ سرزمینِ ہند کو اپنی تبلیغی و اشاعتی سرگرمیوں کا مرکز بنائیں۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;چشت جس کی جانب اس سلسلہ کو منسوب کیا جاتا ہے وہ خراسان میں ہرات کے قریب ایک مشہور شہر ہے جہاں اللہ تعالیٰ کے کچھ نیک بندوں نے انسانوں کی روحانی تربیت اور تزکیۂ نفس کے لیے ایک بڑا مرکز قائم کیا۔ ان حضرات کے طریقۂ تبلیغ اور رشد و ہدایت نے پوری دنیا میں شہرت و مقبولیت حاصل کرلی اور اسے اس شہر چشت کی نسبت سے ''چشتیہ'' کہا جانے لگا۔ چشت موجودہ جغرافیہ کے مطابق افغانستان میں ہرات کے قریب واقع ہے۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;سلسلۂ چشتیہ کے بانی حضرت ابو اسحاق شامی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ ہیں۔ سب سے پہلے لفظ ''چشتی'' ان ہی کے نام کا جز بنا، لیکن حضرت خواجہ معین الدین چشتی حسن سنجری رحمۃ اللہ علیہ کی شخصیت نے اس سلسلہ کے پرچم تلے دعوتِ حق کا جو کام انجام دیا اور آپ کو جو شہرت و مقبولیت حاصل ہوئی اس سے لفظ ''چشتی'' دنیا بھر میں بے پناہ مشہور و مقبول ہوا۔ طریقت کے دیگر سلاسل کی طرح یہ سلسلہ بھی حضرت علی مرتضیٰ کرم اللہ تعالیٰ وجہہ سے ملتا ہے۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font

''سیستان'' بھی کہا جاتا ہے ، کے قصبۂ سنجر میں ہوئی۔ اسی لیے حضرت خواجہ معین الدین چشتی اجمیری رحمۃ اللہ علیہ کوحضرت خواجہ معین الدین چشتی اجمیری سنجری بھی کہا جاتا ہے۔ آپ کی ولادت پوری دنیا کے لیے باعثِ رحمت اور سعادت بنی۔ آپ نے اس دنیا میں عرفانِ&amp;nbsp; خداوندی، خشیتِ ربانی اور عشقِ رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کا چرچا کیا اور کفر و شرک کی گھٹا ٹوپ کو اسلام و ایمان کی روشنی سے جگمگا دیا۔ آپ کی

style="color: rgb(11, 83, 148);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;بچپن&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;آپ کی پرورش اور تعلیم و تربیت خراسان میں ہوئی ، ابتدائی تعلیم والدِ گرامی کے زیرِ سایا ہوئی جو بہت بڑے عالم تھے۔ نو برس کی عمر میں قرآن شریف حفظ کرلیا پھر ایک مدرسہ میں داخل ہوکر تفسیر و حدیث اور فقہ (اسلامی قانون) کی تعلیم حاصل کی، خداداد ذہانت و ذکاوت، بلا کی قوتِ یادداشت اور غیر معمولی فہم وفراست کی وجہ انتہائی کم مدت میں بہت زیادہ علم حاصل کرلیا۔ حضرت خواجہ معین الدین چشتی اجمیری رحمۃ اللہ علیہ گیارہ برس کی عمر تک نہایت ناز و نعم اور لاڈ پیار میں پروان چرھتے رہے۔ جب حضرت خواجہ غریب نواز رحمۃ اللہ علیہ کی عمر پندرہ سال کی ہوئی تو آپ کے والد حضرت غیاث الدین حسن صاحب علیہ الرحمہ کا سایۂ شفقت و محبت سر سے اُٹھ گیا لیکن باہمت والدۂ ماجدہ بی بی ماہ نور نے آپ کو باپ کی کمی کا احساس نہیں ہونے دیا۔ والدِ گرامی کے اس دارِ فانی سے کوچ کرنے کے بعد ترکہ میں ایک باغ اور ایک پن چکی ملی۔ جوانی کے عالم میں اسی ترکہ کو اپنے لیے ذریعۂ معاش بنایا خود ہی باغ کی دیکھ بھال کرتے اور اس کے درختوں کو پانی دیتے اور باغ کی صفائی ستھرائی کا بھی خود ہی خیال رکھتے۔ اسی طرح پن چکی کا سارا نظام بھی خود سنبھالتے ، جس سے زندگی بڑی آسودہ اور خوش حال بسر ہورہی تھی۔ لیکن اللہ تعالیٰ نے آپ کو انسانوں کی تعلیم و تربیت اور کائنات کے گلشن کی اصلاح و تذکیر کے لیے منتخب فرمالیا تھا۔ لہٰذا آپ کی زندگی میں ایک ایسا واقعہ پیش آیا جس سے آپ نے دنیا سے کنارہ کشی اختیار کرلی اور طریقت و سلوک کے مراتب طَے کرتے ہوئے وہ مقامِ بلند حاصل کیا کہ آج بھی آپ کی روحانیت کو ایک جہان تسلیم کررہا ہے۔ حضرت خواجہ معین الدین چشتی اجمیری رحمۃ اللہ علیہ کی زندگی کا وہ واقعہ ذیل میں ملاحظہ فرمائیے جس نے آپ کی دنیا بدل دی۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img

باغ میں آپ درختوں کو پانی دے رہے تھے کہ اس بستی کے ایک مجذوب ابراہیم قندوزی اشارۂ غیبی پر باغ میں تشریف لائے۔ جب حضرت خواجہ کی نظر اِس صاحبِ باطن مجذوب پر پڑی تو ادب و احترام کے ساتھ ان کے قریب گئے اور ایک سایا دار درخت کے نیچے آپ کو بٹھا دیا اور تازہ انگور کا ایک خوشہ سامنے لاکر رکھ دیا ، خود دوزانو ہوکر بیٹھ گئے۔ حضرت ابراہیم قندوزی نے انگور کھائے اور خوش ہوکر بغل سے روٹی کا ایک ٹکڑا نکالا اور اپنے منہ میں ڈالا دانتوں سے چبا کر حضرت خواجہ غریب نواز کے منہ میں ڈال دیا اس طرح حق و صداقت اور عرفانِ خداوندی کے طالبِ حقیقی کو ان لذّتوں سے فیض یاب کردیا۔ روٹی کا حلق میں اترنا تھا کہ دل کی دنیا بدل گئی۔ روح کی گہرائیوں میں انورِ الٰہی کی روشنی پھوٹ پڑی ، جتنے بھی شکوک و شبہات تھے سب کے سب اک آن میں ختم ہوگئے ،دنیا سے نفرت اور بے زاری پیدا ہوگئی اور آپ نے دنیاوی محبت کے سارے امور سے کنارہ کشی اختیار کرلی، باغ، پن چکی اور دوسرے ساز و سامان کو بیچ ڈالا، ساری قیمت فقیروں اور مسکینوں میں بانٹ دی اور طالبِ حق بن کر وطن کو چھوڑ دیااور سیر و سیاحت شروع کردی۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(11, 83, 148);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;علمِ شریعت کا حصول&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;زمانۂ قدیم سے یہ دستور چلا آرہا ہے کہ علمِ طریقت کی تحصیل کے خواہش مند پہلے علمِ شریعت کو حاصل کرکے اس میں کمال پیداکرتے ہوئے عمل کی دشوار گزار وادی میں دیوانہ وار اور مستانہ وار چلتے رہتے ہیں اور بعد میں علمِ طریقت کا حصول کرتے ہیں۔ چناں چہ حضرت خواجہ معین الدین چشتی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ نے بھی اسی طریقۂ کار کو اپنایا اور وطن سے نکل کر سمرقند و بخارا کا رخ کیا جو کہ اس وقت پورے عالمِ اسلام میں علم و فن کے مراکز کے طور پر جانے جاتے تھے جہاں بڑی بڑی علمی ودینی درس گاہیں تھیں جن میں اپنے زمانے کے ممتاز اور جید اساتذۂ کرام درس و تدریس کے فرائض انجام دیا کرتے تھے۔ ان درس گاہوں میں دنیا بھر سے علمِ دین کی طلب رکھنے والے افراد کھنچ کھنچ کر آتے اور اپنی تشنگی کو بجھاتے تھے۔ حضرت خواجہ غریب نواز رحمۃ اللہ علیہ بھی یہاں آکر پورے ذوق و شوق اور لگن کے ساتھ طلبِ علم میں مصروف ہوگئے۔ تفسیر، حدیث، فقہ، کلام اور دیگر ضروری علوم کا درس لیا اور کامل مہارت حاصل کرلی ، آپ کے اساتذہ میں نمایاں طور پر مولانا حسام الدین بخاری اور مولانا شرف الدین صاحب شرع الاسلام کے نام لیے جاتے ہیں۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(11, 83,

علومِ شریعت کی تکمیل کرنے کے بعد روحانی علوم کی تحصیل کے لیے اپنے سفر کا آغاز کیا۔ اس زمانے میں علمِ طریقت کے مراکز کے طور پر پوری دنیاے اسلام میں عراق و حجازِ مقدس مشہور و معروف تھے، جہاں صالحین اور صوفیاے کاملین کی ایک کثیر تعداد بادۂ وحدت اور روحانیت و معرفت کے پیاسوں کی سیرابی کا کام کررہی تھی۔ حضرت خواجہ غریب نوازرحمۃ اللہ علیہ کائناتِ ارضی میں اللہ تعالیٰ کی بنائی ہوئی مختلف اشیا کا مشاہدہ و تفکراور اللہ تعالیٰ کے نیک بندوں اولیا و علما اور صلحا و صوفیہ کی زیارت کرتے ہوئے بغداد، مکہ اورمدینہ کی سیر و سیاحت اور زیارت کی سعادتیں حاصل کیں۔ پھر پیرِ کامل کی تلاش و جستجو میں مشرق کی سمت کا رُخ کیا اورعلاقۂ نیشاپور کے قصبۂ ہارون پہنچے جہاں ہادیِ طریقت حضرت خواجہ عثمان ہارونی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ کی خانقاہ میں روحانی وعرفانی مجلسیں آراستہ ہوتی تھیں۔ خانقاہِ عثمانی میں پہنچ کر حضرت خواجہ غریب نوا رحمۃ اللہ علیہ کو منزلِ مقصود حاصل ہوگئی اور آپ مرشدِ کامل حضرت خواجہ عثمان ہارونی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ کے حلقۂ ارادت میں شامل ہوگئے اور ان کے مبارک ہاتھوں پر بیعت کی۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;حضرت خواجہ رحمۃ اللہ علیہ نے اپنی بیعت کے واقعہ کو اس طرح بیان کیا ہے:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="border-left-width:

نے فرمایا: دورکعت نماز ادا کر ، میں نے فوراً تکمیل کی۔ رو بہ قبلہ بیٹھ ، میں ادب سے قبلہ کی طرف منہ کرکے بیٹھ گیا، پھر ارشاد ہوا سورۂ بقرہ پڑھ ، میں نے خلوص و عقیدت سے پوری سورت پڑھی ، تب فرمایا : ساٹھ بار کلمۂ سبحان اللہ کہو، میں نے اس کی بھی تعمیل کی ، ان مدارج کے بعد حضرت مرشد قبلہ خود کھڑے ہوئے اور میرا ہاتھ اپنے دستِ مبارک میں لیا آسمان کی طرف نظر اٹھا کے دیکھا اور فرمایا میں نے تجھے خدا تک پہنچا دیا ان جملہ امور کے بعد حضرت مرشد قبلہ نے ایک خاص وضع کی ترکی ٹوپی جو کلاہِ چارتَرکی کہلاتی ہے میرے سر پر رکھی ، اپنی خاص کملی مجھے اوڑھائی اور فرمایا بیٹھ میں فوراً بیٹھ گیا ، اب ارشاد ہوا ہزار بار سورۂ اخلاص پڑھ میں اس کو بھی ختم کرچکا تو فرمایا ہمارے مشائخ کے طبقات میں بس یہی ایک شب و روز کا مجاہدہ ہے لہٰذا جا اور کامل ایک شب و روز کا مجاہدہ کر، اس حکم کے بہ موجب میں نے پورا دن اور رات عبادتِ الٰہی اور نماز و طاعت میں بسر کی دوسرے دن حاضر ہوکے ، روے نیاز زمین پر رکھا تو ارشاد ہوا بیٹھ جا، میں بیٹھ گیا، پھر ارشاد ہو ا اوپر دیکھ میں نے آسمان کی طرف نظر اٹھائی تو دریافت فرمایا کہاں تک دیکھتا ہے ، عرض کیا عرشِ معلا تک ، تب ارشاد ہوا نیچے دیکھ میں نے آنکھیں زمین کی طرف پھیری تو پھر وہی سوال کیا کہاں تک دیکھتا ہے عرض کیا تحت الثریٰ تک حکم ہوا پھر ہزار بار سورۂ اخلاص پڑھ اور جب اس حکم کی بھی تعمیل ہو چکی تو ارشاد ہو اکہ آسمان کی طرف دیکھ اور بتا کہاں تک دیکھتا ہے میں نے دیکھ کر عرض کیا حجابِ عظمت تک ، اب فرمایا آنکھیں بند کر ، میں نے بند کرلی ، ارشاد فرمایا ا ب کھول دے میں نے کھل دی تب حضرت نے اپنی دونوں انگلیاں میری نظر کے سامنے کی اور پوچھا کیا دیکھتا ہے ؟ عرض کیا اٹھارہ ہزار عالم دیکھ رہا ہوں ، جب میری زبان سے یہ کلمہ سنا تو ارشاد فرمایا بس تیرا کام پورا ہوگیا پھر ایک اینٹ کی طرف دیکھ کر فرمایا اسے اٹھا میں نے اٹھایا تو اس کے نیچے سے کچھ دینار نکلے ، فرمایا انھیں لے جاکے درویشوں میں خیرات کر۔ چناں چہ میں نے ایسا ہی کیا۔ ''&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0,

ومرشد نے ولایت اور روحانیت کے تمام علوم و فنون سے آراستہ کرکے مرتبۂ قطبیت پر فائز کر دیا تو بارگاہِ رسالت مآب صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے بھی حج کے بعد حضرت خواجہ کو قبولیت کی سند مل گئی۔ اس واقعہ کے بعد پیرو مرشد نے فرمایا کہ اب کام مکمل ہوگیا ، چناں چہ اس کے بعد بغداد میں ۵۸۲ھ / ۱۱۸۶ء کو حضرت خواجہ عثمان ہارونی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ نے آپ کو اپنا نائب اور جانشین بنا دیا۔ اس ضمن میں خود حضرت مرشدِ کامل نے یوں اظہارِ خیال فرمایا ہے :&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204);

آپ نے مرشدِ کامل سے فیض حاصل کر کے اللہ جل شانہ کی کائنات کا مشاہدہ اور اہل اللہ کی زیارت اور ملاقات کی غرض سے سیر وسیاحت کا آغاز کیا۔ سفر کے دوران آپ نے اپنے پیرومرشد کی ہدایت پر مکمل طور پر عمل کیا۔ چوں کہ حضرت خواجہ نے اپنی یہ سیاحت علومِ باطنی وظاہری کی مزید تحصیل کی غرض سے اختیار کی اس لیے وہ وہیں جاتے جہاں علما و صلحا اور صوفیہ و مشائخ رہتے۔ سنجان میں آپ نے حضرت شیخ نجم الدین کبرا رحمۃ اللہ علیہ اور جیلان میں بڑے پیرحضرت سیدنا عبدالقادر جیلانی بغدادی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ اور بغداد میں حضرت شیخ ضیاء الدین کی زیارت کی اور ان سے معرفت و ولایت کے علوم و فنون حاصل کیے۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;بغداد کے بعد حضرت خواجہ اصفہان پہنچے تو یہاں حضرت شیخ محمود اصفہانی سے ملاقات فرمائی حضرت خواجہ قطب الدین بختیار کاکی ان دنوں اصفہان میں موجود تھے۔ جب آپ نے حضرت خواجہ کے چہرۂ زیبا کی زیارت کی تو بہت متاثر ہوئے دل کی دنیا بدل گئی اور آپ پر نثار ہوکر مریدوں میں شامل ہوگئے اور حضرت خواجہ کی اتنی خدمت کی کہ بعد میں وہی آپ کے جانشین ہوئے۔ اصفہان سے حضرت خواجہ ۵۸۳ھ / ۱۱۸۷ء میں مکۂ مکرمہ پہنچے اور زیارت و طوافِ خانۂ کعبہ سے سرفراز ہوئے۔ ایک روز حرم شریف کے اندر ذکرِ الٰہی میں مصروف تھے کہ غیب سے آپ نے ایک آواز سنی کہ:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-width: 1px;

سے خوش ہیں تجھے بخش دیا جو کچھ چاہے مانگ ، تاکہ عطا کروں۔ ' حضرت خواجہ صاحب نے جب یہ ندا سنی تو بے حد خوش ہوئے اور بارگاہِ الٰہی میں سجدۂ شکر بجالایااور عاجزی سے عرض کیا کہ ، خداوندا! معین الدین کے مریدوں کو بخش دے۔ آواز آئی کہ اے معین الدین تو ہماری مِلک ہے جو تیرے مرید اور تیرے سلسلہ میں مرید ہوں گے انھیں بخش دوں گا۔ ''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;حضرت خواجہ معین الدین چشتی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ نے مزید کچھ دن مکہ میں قیام کیا اور حج کے بعد مدینۂ منورہ کے لیے روانہ ہوئے۔ مدینۂ منورہ میں حضرت خواجہ ، حضور اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی مزارِ پاک کی زیارت سے مشرف ہوئے۔ یہاں آپ اپنے روز و شب عبادت و ریاضت ، ذکرِ الٰہی اور درود وسلام میں بسر کرتے ، ایک دن بارگاہِ رسالت مآب صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے آپ کو ہندوستان کی ولایت و قطبیت کی بشارت اس طرح حاصل ہوئی کہ :&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204);

''&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;( سیر الاقطاب ص ۱۲۴)&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;جب حضرت خواجہ نے یہ ایمان افروز بشارت سنی تو آپ پر وجد و سرور طاری ہوگیا۔ آپ کی خوشی و مسرت کی کوئی انتہا نہ رہی۔ حضور رحمتِ عالم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے آپ نے جب مقبولیت اور ہندوستان کی خوش خبری حاصل کرلی تو تھوڑا حیرا ن ہوئے کہ اجمیر کہاں ہے؟ یہی سوچتے ہوئے آپ کو نیند آگئی ، خواب میں کیا دیکھتے ہیں کہ سرکارِ مدینہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم تشریف لائے ہوئے ہیں۔ پیارے نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے آپ کو خواب کی حالت میں ایک ہی نظر میں مشرق سے مغرب تک سارے عالم کو دکھا دیا، دنیا کے تمام شہر اور قصبے آپ کی نظروں میں تھے یہاں تک کہ آپ نے اجمیر ، اجمیر کا قلعہ اور پہاڑیاں بھی دیکھ لیں۔ حضور انور صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے حضرت خواجہ کو ایک انار عطا کرکے ارشاد فرمایا کہ ہم تجھ کو خدا کے سپرد کرتے ہیں۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;( مونس الارواح ص ۳۰)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;نیند سے بیدار ہونے کے بعد آپ نے چالیس اولیا کے ہمراہ ہندوستان (اجمیر ) کا قصد کیا۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img

اجمیر تشریف لائے اس سلسلے میں آپ کے تذکرہ نگاروں کے درمیان اختلاف پایا جاتا ہے۔ ویسے زیادہ تر اس بات پر متفق ہیں کہ آپ ۵۸۷ھ / ۱۱۹۱ء کو اجمیر شہر پہنچے۔ جہاں پہلے ہی دن سے آپ نے اپنی مؤثر تبلیغ ،حُسنِ اَخلاق، اعلا سیرت و کردار اور باطل شکن کرامتوں سے لوگوں کو اپنی طرف متوجہ کرلیا۔ اہلِ اجمیر نے جب اس بوریہ نشین فقیر کی روحانی عظمتوں کا اپنی آنکھوں سے مشاہدہ کیا تو جوق در جوق مسلمان ہونے لگے۔ اس طرح رفتہ رفتہ اجمیر جو کبھی کفر و شرک اور بت پرستی کا مرکز تھا ، اسلام و ایمان کا گہوارہ بن گیا۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(11, 83, 148);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;حضرت خواجہ کا وصالِ پُر ملال&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;عطاے رسول حضرت خواجہ معین الدین چشتی اجمیر ی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ نے تبلیغِ اسلام اور دعوتِ حق کے لیے ہندوستان کی سرزمین پر تقریباً ۴۵ سال گذارے۔ آپ کی کوششوں سے ہندوستان میں جہاں کفر و شرک اور بت پرستی میں مصروف لوگ مسلمان ہوتے گئے وہیں ایک مستحکم اور مضبوط اسلامی حکومت کی بنیاد بھی پڑ گئی۔ تاریخ کی کتابوں میں آتا ہے کہ حضرت خواجہ کی روحانی کوششوں سے تقریباً نوے لاکھ لوگوں نے کلمہ پڑھ کر اسلام قبول کیا۔ جو کہ ایک طرح کا ناقابلِ فراموش کارنامہ ہے۔ اخیر عمر میں حضرت خواجہ کو محبوبِ حقیقی جل شانہ سے ملاقات کا شوق و ذوق بے حد زیادہ ہوگیا اور آپ یادِ الٰہی اور ذکرِ و فکر الٰہی میں اپنے زیادہ تر اوقات بسر کرنے لگے۔ آخری ایام میں ایک مجلس میں جب کہ اہل اللہ کا مجمع تھا آپ نے ارشاد فرمایا:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(204,

ہدایت فرمائی کہ کوئی یہاں نہ آئے۔ جو خادم دروازہ پر موجود تھے ساری رات وجد کے عالم میں پیر پٹکنے کی آواز سنتے رہے۔ رات کے آخری پہر میں یہ آواز آنا بند ہوگئی۔ صبح صادق کے وقت جب نمازِ فجر کے لیے دستک دی گئی تو دروازہ نہ کھلا چناں چہ جب خادموں نے دروازہ کھولا تو دیکھا کہ حضرت خواجہ معین الدین چشتی اپنے مالکِ حقیقی کے وصال کی لذت سے ہم کنار ہوچکے ہیں۔ اور آپ کی پیشانی پر یہ غیبی عبارت لکھی ہوئی ہے:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-width: 1px;

سنتوں سے ایک سنت چھوڑ رہا ہے۔ '' بیدار ہونے کے بعد آپ کو فکر دامن گیر ہوئی۔ اور آپ نے ۵۹۰ھ / ۱۱۹۴ء میں بی بی امۃ اللہ سے پہلا نکاح فرمایا۔&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(39,

دعا ہے جو  مومن کی ڈھال اور شیطانی وسوسوں، حملوں اور نفسیاتی خواہشات کے خلاف ایک مؤثر  ہتھیار ہے ،اسی وجہ سے شریعت کی نظر میں دعا ایک عبادت اور عبادات کی روح وجان ہے  اور ہر مسلم سےشرعاً مطلوب ہے کہ وہ ہمہ وقت ذکرواذکار ومسنون دعاؤں کا اہتمام  کرے اور قرآنی تعلیمات کوحرزجان بنائے ۔یہ بھی حق ہے کہ مومن انفرادی واجتماعی  دعاؤں کے ذریعہ بہت سے مصائب وآلام وآفات ارضی وسماوی سے محفوظ رہے گا اور  شیطانی حملے اس کے حق میں غیر مؤثر ہوں گے ۔&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" dir="RTL" style="text-align:right;line-height:150%;direction:rtl"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" dir="LTR"

کتاب وسنت اور آثار وتعامل صحابہؓ اور مؤقراہل علم کے مستندفتاوے کی روشنی  میںاجتماعی دعا کی حیثیت پیش کی جائے اور افراط وتفریط سے ہٹ کر اعتدال کی روسے  بلکہ انصاف کے ساتھ یہ واضح کی جائے کہ یہ مسئلہ ان مختلف فیہ مسائل میں سے ضرور  ہے جس میں سلف صالحین کے نزدیک وسعت موجود ہے اور اختلاف کے باوجود مخالفت کی کوئی  گنجائش باقی نہیں ہے اور نہ ہی فروعی مسائل میں اختلاف حق وباطل کا ہے بلکہ اکثر  وبیشتر جواز واستحباب کا ہے اور افضل اور غیر افضل کا ہے یا راجح ومرجوح کا۔&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" dir="LTR"

lang="AR-SA" style="font-size:15pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"&gt;راقم الحروف کا مقصد یہی ہے کہ امت مسلمہ کے  عوام وخواص کے مابین جن فروعی مسائل میں بے جا شدت پسندی ہے ان مسائل کواعتدال کے  ساتھ جارحانہ انداز سے بچتے ہوئے مثبت انداز میں راہ حق وصواب کی طرف رہنمائی کی  جائے ۔ نیز اختلاف کی صورت میں صحابہ کرام ؓ وتابعین عظام ؒ کے منہج اور طریقہ کار  کی طرف نشاندہی کی جائے ۔اس لئے کہ آج اسلاف سے محبت کادعوی توہے لیکن ان کی  خدمات کا اعتراف ناپید ہے اور ان کی علمی کاوشوں کی ناقدری ہے پھر بھی ان کے نام  کے جلسے جلوس اور عظمت صحابہ کانفرنس کی بہتات تو ہے اور آج امت دین اسلام

جمع ہونا اچھا اور مستحب ہے بشرطیکہ اس طرح کی محفلوں کی کوئی مستقل عادت نہ  بنالی جائے جیسے شرعی اجتماعات کی اہمیت ہوتی ہے اور نہ ہی اس طرح کی محفلوں میں  کسی بدعت کا ارتکاب ہو ۔ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span

ہے اس طرح کے مواقع میں  دعا کے لئے ہاتھ اٹھانے کا تذکرہ سنت سے ثابت نہیں ہے البتہ عام حدیثیں ہیں جس میں  دعا کے وقت ہاتھ اٹھانا ثابت ہے اور وہ اسباب اجابت یعنی ہاتھ اٹھانا قبولیت کے  اسباب میں سے ہے لیکن مجھے اس طرح کی کوئی حدیث یا دنہیں ہے جس میں رسول اللہ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA" style="font-size:15pt;line-height:150%;font-family:&amp;#39;Jameel Noori

توصحابہ کرام ؓ ضرور نقل  فرماتے انہوں نے ہر اس چیز کو امت تک پہنچایا جو انہوں نے رسول اللہ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA" style="font-size:15pt;line-height:150%;font-family:&amp;#39;Jameel Noori

ہاتھ نہ اٹھایا جائے الا یہ کہ  کوئی دلیل مل جائے اسی طرح کسی واعظ یا خطیب کا یہ دعا کرنا کہ غفر اللہ لنا ولکم  أووفقنا اللہ وایاکم أو نفعنا اللہ وایاکم بما سمعنا اوماأشبہ ذلک فہذا لاباس  بہ یعنی اللہ ہماری اور آپ لوگوں کی مغفرت فرمائے یا ہم سب کونیک توفیق دے یا  ہمیں ان سنی ہوئی باتوں سے فائدہ پہنچائے یا اسی طرح کے کلمات خیر کہنے اور اس پر  آمین بولنے میں کوئی حرج نہیں ہے ۔ (نورعلی الدرب ا

متعلق شیخ ابن عثیمین رحمہ  اللہ کے فتوے کا خلاصہ: کسی مجلس وعظ ونصیحت کے اختتام میں اجتماعی دعا اور اس پر  آمین کہنا صحیح ہے بشرطیکہ ا س طریقہ کو عادت نہ بنالیا جائے ورنہ اس طرح کی  عادتیں جوسنت بنالی جاتی ہیں حالانکہ وہ سنت نہیں بن جاتیں بلکہ اس کاحکم بدعت ہے  جب کبھی لوگ اس طرح کی مجلسوں کوقائم کریں دعا پرمجلس کوختم کریں یہ عمل سنت سے  ثابت نہیںہے البتہ وعظ ونصیحت کے موقع پر وعیدیا ترغیبات پر دعا کا اہتمام ہو تو  کوئی حرج نہیں ہے اس لئے راتب اور عارض میں فرق ہے (راتب : مستقل سنت  عارض : کبھی کبھار کیا جانے والا عمل) اور عارض  کبھی کبھار کیا جانے والا جس کے ترک پروہ قابل ملامت نہیں ہوتا جیساکہ رسول اللہ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA" style="font-size:15pt;line-height:150%;font-family:&amp;#39;Jameel Noori Nastaleeq&amp;#39;"&gt;ﷺ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA"

پڑھی جاسکتی ہے ۔( لقاء الباب المفتوح لابن عثیمین &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="FA" style="font-size:15pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"&gt;۱۱۷/۲۳ ) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"

ہنگامی حالات میں کسی  خوفناک صورت حال میں یا قحط سالی کی دجہ سے ائمۂ مساجد کی جانب سے اجتماعی دعا کا  اہتمام کیا گیا تو یہ عمل جائز ہوگابشرطیکہ اس عمل کوسنت کا درجہ نہ دے دیا جائے  اور نہ اس کا اعلان ہومساجد وجماعات میں بالالتزام جس کی پابندی ہو ۔ اس لئے کہ یہ  اضطراری کیفیت ہے جیساکہ رسول اللہ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA" style="font-size:15pt;line-height:150%;font-family:&amp;#39;Jameel

lang="AR-SA" style="font-size:15pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"&gt; سے اجتماعی دعا کا ثبوت ملتا ہے جس کے لئے کسی خاص وقت  اور خاص کیفیت کے اہتمام کے بغیر جیسے دیگر تطوعات میں (مستحبات ) آپ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA" style="font-size:15pt;line-height:150%;font-family:&amp;#39;Jameel Noori Nastaleeq&amp;#39;"&gt;ﷺ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA"

سنت متبعہ کا درجہ دیئے بغیر یا کسی شخصیت کونبی کا درجہ دیئے بغیر خاص خاص  حالات میں کسی وقت کی تعیین وکیفیت کے بغیر اجتماعی دعا جائزہے البتہ ضروری یا سنت  کا درجہ نہ دیا جائے جیساکہ حضرت عمر ؓ کی زندگی کا ایک واقعہ بیان کیا ہے کہ آپ  اپنے دور خلافت میں ایک رات عشاء کے بعد تفتیش کے لئے مسجد پہنچے تودیکھا کہ کچھ  لوگ ذکر الہٰی میں مشغول ہیں آپ اپنا درہ ایک طرف رکھ کر ان کے ساتھ تشریف رکھے  اور بعض احباب سے کہنے لگے اے فلان: تم ہمارے حق میں دعا کرو ،اے فلان : تم ہمارے  حق میں دعا کرو اس طرح لوگوں سے دعا کی درخواست کرنے لگے اس محفل کی گواہی یہی تھی  کہ عمر ؓ جیسے سخت مزاج آدمی موم کی طرح نرم ہوکر رونے لگے اس وقت آپ سے زیادہ  کوئی رقیق القلب نہ تھا ۔نیز صاحب کتاب نے آگے چل کر ایک اور واقعہ لکھا ہے کہ  ایک شخص نے حضرت عمر ؓ کی خدمت میں خط لکھا کہ فادع اللہ لی فکتب الیہ عمر ؓ انی  لست بنبی ولکن اذا أقیمت الصلاۃ فاستغفر اللہ لذنبک یعنی عمر ؓ نے جوابی خط میں  فرمایا کہ میں نبی تو نہیں ہوں لہٰذا تم نماز کے بعد اپنے گناہوں کے لئے استغفار  کرلینا۔ شاطبی ؒ نے دونوں واقعات نقل کرنے کے بعد توجیہ یہ بیان کی ہے کہ عمر ؓ نے  اصل دعاء سے انکار نہیں کیا بلکہ سائل کو اس خیال سے پھیرنے کی کوشش کی کہ میں نبی  نہیں ہوں کہیں وہ یہ نہ سمجھ لے کہ عمر ؓ کی دعا ہرحال میں قبول ہوگی یا اس طریقہ  کولازمی سنت کا درجہ دے دیا جائے یا یہ صورت پیدا ہوجائے کہ عمر ؓ ہی قبولیت دعا  کے اہم وسیلہ ہیں یا لوگوں میں یہی سنت رائج نہ ہوجائے اس طرح کے اندیشہ سے آپ ؓ  نے فرمایا کہ میں نبی نہیں ہوں حالانکہ آپ نے لوگوں سے اس سے قبل دعاء کی درخواست  کی اور لوگوں نے آپ کے حق میں دعا بھی کی تھی ۔( الاعتصام للشاطبی المتوفی&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="FA"

کی اہمیت کومختلف اسلوب وانداز میں  بیان کیاگیا ہے کہیں دعا کرنے پر ترغیب دی گئی ہے تو کہیں اس سے اعراض کرنے والوں  پر سخت وعید سنائی گئی ہے غرض یہ کہ مختلف طریقوں سے اس کی اہمیت کوثابت کیا گیا  ہے

بلکہ اجابت دعا , حصول مراد اوراللہ کی عنایت مبذول کرانے کے لئے ہاتھ اٹھاکر  دعا مانگنا مشروع ہے۔مذکورہ حدیث دعا کے وقت ہاتھ اٹھانے کے سلسلہ میں عام ہے لہذا  اسے کسی وقت کے ساتھ مخصوص کرنا بلادلیل ہے

style="font-size:15pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"&gt; کسی بھی مجلس سے  اٹھنے سے قبل اپنے صحابہ ؓ کے لئے اجتماعی دعا کیا کرتے تھے۔ یہ بھی حقیقت ہے کہ  کسی بھی مسئلہ میں کسی ایک ہی حدیث سے پورے مسائل کا استنباط واستحضار ناممکن ہے  جیسے نماز , روزہ , زکوۃ اور حج کے سارے اصولی وفروعی مسائل ایک ہی حدیث سے مستنبط  نہیں ہیں بلکہ متعدد حدیثوں کوجمع کرنے کے بعد ہی مسائل پر عمل ممکن ہے اسی طرح  اجتماعی دعا بھی مذکورہ بالا حدیث سے ثابت ہے اوردعا پر ہاتھ اٹھانا کسی او ر صحیح  حدیث سے ثابت ہے اور دعا پرآمین کہنا کسی اور حدیث سے ہی ثابت ہے ان تمام حدیثوں  کوجمع کرنے سے اجتماعی دعا کا

میت کے بعد ختم قرآن یا  دینی مجالس کے اختتام پر اجتماعی دعاء کرلینے میں شرعا کوئی حرج معلوم نہیں ہوتا  البتہ اس دعا کووجوب کا درجہ دینا یا سنت کی حیثیت دینا اس پر التزام کی دعوت دینا  یا ضد پراتر آنا یا جماعتوں میںتفریق پیداکرنا صحیح نہیں ہے ۔یہ ان فروعی مسائل  میں سے ہے جس میں وسعت موجود ہے۔&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" dir="LTR"

Its basic meaning in Arabic is "an elder; a man over fifty years of age." [The spellings Sheikh, Shaikh and Shaykh may also be encountered in English-language publications.]&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;'Abd al-Qadir:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is HIS personal name, meaning "Servant of the All-Powerful." [The form 'Abdul Qadir, which the reader may come across elsewhere, is simply an alternative transliteration of the Arabic spelling.] It has always been a common practice, in the Muslim community, to give a male child a name in which 'Abd is prefixed to one of the Names of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;al-Jilani:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A surname ending in "i" will often indicate the bearer's place of birth. Shaykh 'Abd al-Qadir Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was born in the Iranian district of Gilan, south of the Caspian Sea, in A.H. 470/1077-8 C.E. [In some texts, the Persian spelling Gilani is used instead of the arabicized form al-Jilani. The abbreviated form al-Jili, which may also be encountered, should not be confused with the surname of the venerable 'Abd al-Karim al-Jili Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho [A.H.827/1424 C.E.], author of the celebrated work al-Insan al-Kamil, who came from Jil in the district of Baghdad.]&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let us now consider a slightly longer version of the Shaykh's name, as it occurs near the beginning of Al-Fath ar-Rabbani :&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: tahoma, 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: tahoma, 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img alt="https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/421069_10150574143250334_1838001971_n.jpg" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEhGxTXHjM-po3VqJUQBAtdAt2Zmf8tNe_yScAIyZzi0X01IzpVbdytMvluJ5A5HmE0NylS_ed3V3yQrxxf65E9ri6QiPptZLOqXWe_hdcthEVCkRemn2_SQx7tzxQOwyUgjyTc3Ix7wmDuky2JpFO4tBHJoXnXuXE_KTcr4jKRfArT_cGDpyFBE_8I3Q1vT7s_wXsz4Mvtkx2WOMgsljOeS=s0-d-e1-ft"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font size="4" style="font-family: georgia, serif; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;O master!

A writer who regards himself as a Qadiri, a devoted follower of Shaykh 'Abd al-Qadir Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, will generally refer to the latter as Sayyiduna , or Sayyidi .&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Muhyi'd-Din:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"Reviver of the Religion." It is widely acknowledged by historians, non-Muslim as well as Muslim, that Shaykh 'Abd al-Qadir Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho displayed great courage in reaffirming the traditional teachings of Islam, in an era when sectarianism was rife, and when materialistic and rationalistic tendencies were predominant in all sections of society. In matters of Islamic jurisprudence and theology , he adhered quite strictly to the highly "orthodox" school of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Abu Muhammad:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"Father of Muhammad." In the Arabic system of nomenclature, a man's surnames usually include the name of his first-born son, with the prefix Abu [Father of……..].&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Radi Allahu 'Anhu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"May Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala be well pleased with him!" This benediction is the one customarily pronounced - and spelled out in writing - after mentioning the name of a Companion of the Prophet [Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala bless him and give him peace]. The preference for this particular invocation is yet another mark of the extraordinary status held by Shaykh 'Abd al-Qadir Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu in the eyes of his devoted followers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Finally, we must note some important elements contained within this even longer version:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: tahoma, 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: tahoma, 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img alt="https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s720x720/430505_10150574142455334_752027993_n.jpg" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEgF2Rf4S1rsrO3q34O9t5KtaRZiWb8dbOGG_HGBkMq4rL0lY3dxBAkZLSp10gIhhW-bh-wqeHJ-DIRkO1yGpYlB_kNXTKUGspDe4U_UnI_B6Lqt10Y2A9TtqpP5qkF4kQSIj9UypwK9zHkQIkp0aspgPsqK7U4hvYoXt1NzZVJ0yqT47sWPRixi70jUqtsd1B1Nv5-dXpXZ0M380wY2ktHOCMPWBzmJ7ek=s0-d-e1-ft"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font size="4" style="font-family: georgia, serif; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;The art of giving is you by inheritance ...

Ghawth is an Arabic word meaning:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A cry for aid or succor.&lt;br&gt;Aid, help, succor; deliverance from adversity.&lt;br&gt;The chief of the Saints, who is empowered by Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala to bring succor to suffering humanity, in response to His creatures' cry for help in times of extreme adversity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Sultan al-Awliya':&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"The King of the Saints." This reinforces the preceding title, emphasizing the supremacy of the Ghawth above all other orders of sanctity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;al-Hasani al-Husaini:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"The descendant of both Imam al-Hasan Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho and Imam al-Husain Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, the grandsons of the Prophet [Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala bless him and give him peace]." To quote the Turkish author, Shaykh Muzaffer Ozak Efendi [may Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala bestow His mercy upon him]:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"The lineage of Shaykh 'Abd al-Qadir Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho is known as the Chain of Gold, since both his parents were descendants of the Messenger [Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala bless him and give him peace].

Typically made from peelu, olive or walnut tree. It is used to clean the teeth, and holds an important place in Islam. The reason for this is that our blessed and beloved Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam), along with all the other prophets (Ala Nabiyyina wa Alayhim as-Salat wa as-Salam), used it regularly, and strongly advised his followers to do the same. Unfortunately! Today, most perhaps this beautiful sunnah of using Miswak is almost a 'Forgotten' Sunnah (May Allah forbid). Whereas, this is definitely one of the most favourable and easiest Sunnah of all. Instead, we embarrassed to practise it in public. May Allah give us better understanding. Here we present some of the sacred traditions of the beloved Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) on the excellence and benefits of using miswak.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;img alt="https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/1465158_10151806105645334_1486821263_n.jpg" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEi3miD_oOqTE0mPpSVZkOahLjQ7frjLr9TJghJG7kgaM6sUIjaK4ZS3vaHHk-7NxdN_Xt4jU-zuWYWLq5LwhD3Xeto0F-OmGUQA9MvDrWRssSPbArgIPMkU84Yh6ruAtErMreIqMLJPo6e88OIw6DtFKa_n5xtFFR9iC1wvDdXjfpcVeMYmltGiRrYdCbIYG5S9DA36WDw7dvRpofnH6goC6w=s0-d-e1-ft"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="6"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;..::&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(39, 78, 19);"&gt;Ahadtih on the Excellence of Miswak&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&amp;nbsp;::..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;Hadith 1:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Beloved Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) states, "Miswak is a thing that pleases the Merciful Lord."&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;[Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 1, Page 637, Hadith 1933]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;So it is obvious that one will reap endless bounties when the Lord Almighty is pleased.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;Hadith 2:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Noble Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) has stated, "When any one of you stand at night to offer Salah, you should clean your teeth with a Miswak because when you recite the Quran, an angel places his mouth on yours and anything coming out of your mouth enters the mouth of that angel."&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;&amp;nbsp;[Shu'ab al-Iman, Vol. 2, Page 381, Hadith 2117]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;Hadith 3:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (Radi Allahu Anhu) has narrated the following saying of the Holy Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam), "Miswak is a means of the purification of your mouths and the pleasure of your Rabb."&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;[Sunan Ibn Majah, Page 2495, Hadith 289]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;Hadith 4:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Tabrani narrates a Hasan narration on the authority of Hadrat Ali (Radi Allahu Anhu), citing that Rasoolullah (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said, "If I did not feel that it would be difficult upon my Ummah, I would have commanded them to perform miswak with every Wudu."&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;[Mu'jam al-Awsat, Vol. 1, Page 341, Hadith 1238]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;Hadith 5:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;In other words I would have made it Fard.

Its origin shines clearly from the divine book of Allah and the traditions of our great Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) as the midday sun.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;Unfortunately, as soon as the month of Rabi' al-Awwal arrives, a group of insolent people knowingly and intentionally start circulating confusions and deviancy amongst the Muslims regarding the celebrations of the Mawlid (Blessed birth of beloved Prophet - SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) and thegullible masses are trapped in their fallacies (may Allah protect us).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This Book, "Mawlid — Sunnah or Bid'ah" will in sha Allah clear all doubts rumored by the notorious opponents of Mawlid Sharif. Following is the list of ten most famous delusions and objections made by the opponents.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(11, 83, 148);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;THE TEN QUESTIONS:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;It is a known fact that our Prophet is the most superior of all the Prophets and Messengers (Alayhim as-Salam) and also that he is the seal of all the Prophets (Alayhim as-Salam). He left no stone unturned in conveying the religion to us and rendering precious advice to us. If the "Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam)" was a divinely inspired act, then surely the Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) would have commanded the Muslims to it, or at least, either he or his beloved Sahabah would have practiced it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;Surah Maidah: we have perfected your religion ... so why do you Sunnis add to religion; don't you believe this Quranic verse?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;There's a hadith in Tirmizi Shareef which says any Bid'ah in religion leads one astray, so why do you Sunnis add this Bid'ah of celebrating?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;All this Milaad celebration is just a Bid'ah and innovation introduced by a modern day Indian called Ahmed Raza Khan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;How come Imam Abu Hanifa or Imam Bukhari didn't celebrate milaad?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;Is fixing date for milaad shareef permissible?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;Celebrating the birth is a way of the Christians for Jesus, why do you Sunnis light up your houses and put decorations like the Christians?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;You shouldn't celebrate Milaad on 12 Rabi ul Awal as that's the date the Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) passed away.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;The contemporary form of Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) apart from being a manifestation of Bid'ah also encompasses other evils such as the intermingling of sexes, usage of musical instruments and many other such evils. The most abhorring and shocking evils in these functions are the acts of shirk that take place. With hollow claims of "Hubb-e-Rasool (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam)" [love for Rasulullah (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam)] entreaties and supplications are made to beings other than Allah, namely to Ambiyaa (Alayhim as-Salam).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;I turn my lights off and some of my friends keep lights off on 12 Rabi ul awal because we believe it has no significance to our lives – how will celebrating the Milaad help us in this life and the hereafter?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(11, 83, 148);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;THE ANSWERS:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;All these objections are intensely and authentically refuted in detail by Mufti Zahid Hussain al-Qadiri, Khalifah of Hadrat Taaj al-Shari'ah Mufti Muhammad Akhtar Rida al-Qadiri .

One without the other will lead inevitably to erroneous and dangerous conclusions. Strong religious emotions, when not tempered by scholastic aptitude, will usually lead to folly, since a lover's feelings alone cannot determine the ruling of Allah and His Messenger - may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him - in a given issue. And scholastic aptitude, when not rendered soft by love and devotion, and made malleable by sincerity, will lead to dry and lifeless rulings that alienate the common Muslim and provide fodder for Pharisaical hair-splitting&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Ahl al-Rusoom&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;(those obsessed with the outward of the law at the expense of the inward). Gathering between the two is perfection.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This small but detailed work by Taaj al-Shari'ah, Shaykh Muhammad Akhtar Rida Khan, scion of the great reviver (&lt;i&gt;Mujaddid&lt;/i&gt;) Imam Ahmad Rida Khan, addresses the famous narration of Thuwayba, a slave whom Abu Lahab freed out of joy for the Prophet's birth - may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him - , and the narrations that detail the lightening of punishment that Abu Lahab received on account of that, and tackles an assortment of objections made to these narrations, which in essence limit the Prophet's mercy and intercession. The central thesis of this treatise is that the Prophet's - may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him - power of intercession encompasses non-believers; but not in the sense of general amnesty from Hell, rather because of the lightening of the punishment of lengthy standing to be suffered on the Last Day.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Other areas of discussion in this work include: the use of dreams as legal proofs, whether non-believers receive recompense for their good deeds in the Hereafter, whether nonbelievers can receive benefit in their graves, the forms of intercession held by the Prophet - may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him -, the reconciliation of proof texts that seemingly contradict one another, and how&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;mursal&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;(hanging) hadith reports are acceptable for use according to the principles of the Hanafi school.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(39, 78, 19);"&gt;"If this disbeliever who was condemned&lt;br&gt;And whose hands were bound forever in the Fire&lt;br&gt;Mentioned that every Monday&lt;br&gt;His punishment is lightened due to his joy in Ahmad&lt;br&gt;What say you of the servant&lt;br&gt;Whose entire life is joyful with Ahmad"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(7, 55, 99);"&gt;&lt;i&gt;- Imam Shams al-Din Muhammad b.
