Al blossoming in your heart .

Excellence of alt-Alan-NabMaul Al blew on an empty palm and...

Once a beggar approached the unbelievers and asked for something.The unbelievers sent the beggar to Sayyidun Al just for fun who was sitting nearby. The beggar approached SayyidunAl and begged. Sayyidun Al recited alt-Alan-Nab ten times and blew on the beggars palm.Then, advising the beggar to close his fist and open it in front of theunbelievers, he sent him back to them. (The unbelieverswere laughing expecting nothing to happen by just blowing on the

palm.) When the beggar opened his fist before them, there was a

dinar in his palm! Having seen this great marvel (Karma), severalunbelievers embraced Islam. (Rat-ul-Qulb, pp. 142)

Wird jis nay kiy Durd Sharf Aur dil say pa Durd Sharf

Severed hand was attached back

Once an Abyssinian (Negro) slave, who had great esteem forSayyidun Al , committed the crime of theft. Thepeople took him to the court of Amr-ul-Mminn, Sayyidun Al

. The slave also confessed that he had committedtheft. Sayyidun Al cut his hand implementingthe law of Shara. When the slave was on his way to home, hecame across Sayyidun Salmn Frs

and Ibn-ul-Kaww

. Ibn-ul-Kaww inquired, Who has cut your hand? Theslave said, Amr-ul-Mminn Maul Al ( ) hassevered my hand. Ibn-ul-Kaww said amazingly, He has cut yourhand and you are still taking his name with such an honour! Theslave replied, Why shouldnt I admire him? He cut my hand lawfullyand saved me from the torment of hellfire.Sayyidun Salmn Frs listened what they conversed andrelated same to Sayyidun Al who summonedthe slave and placed his severed hand back to the joint of the wristcovering it with a handkerchief. Then Sayyidun Al started reciting something. Meanwhile, a voice was heard from theunseen, Remove the cloth. When the people removed the cloth, the

severed hand of the slave was found reattached with his wrist leavingno scars behind! (Tafsr Kabr, vol. 7, pp. 434)

Paraphrase of Kalm-e-Raz:O the one lying on the holy bed ofthe Noble Prophet in the night of migration! O oneoffering his life for sacrifice during such critical times, help me!

What is Karma (marvel)?

Dear Islamic brothers! Did you notice how Maul Al reattached the severed hand of his slave by virtue of special blessingsbestowed by Allah ! Surely, the Almighty Allah delegateswonderful powers to His distinguished servants by virtue of whichwonderful happenings take place that are inexplicable and beyond

the comprehension of human beings. Sometimes having been thevictim of satanic whispers, some nave people start analysing marvels(Karma) through their limited common sense and insight and thisis how they go astray.

Remember! A Karma is such a supernatural manifestation whichhuman intellect cannot comprehend i.e. which cannot be executed

by physical means.

On page 58 of Bar-e-Sharat [a 1250-page publication ofMaktaba-tul-Madna, a publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami],Allma Mauln Muft Muhammad Amjad Al Aam has stated: Ir is the manifestation of such thing by a Prophetbefore [the declaration of] his Prophethood; and if it is manifested

after the declaration of Prophethood, then it is called Mujiza(miracle). If a similar wonder is manifested by a Wal, then it is


13/87

called Karma. It is called Manat if exhibited by a Mmin (truebeliever). If such a supernatural manifestation is exhibited by someKfir (unbeliever) or a transgressor, then it is termed as Istidrj.(Bar-e-Sharat, vol. 1, pp. 56-58)

Aql ko tanqd say furat nan

A heavy flood subsided

Once there was such a heavy flood in the River Euphrates (Al-Furat)that inundated all the agricultural fields. The people turned upto the court of Sayyidun Al . Sayyidun Al stood up at once and got dressed in the ProphetsBlessed Robe (Jubba), Sacred Turban and Holy Shawl. He then mounted his horse. asanayn Karmayn andothers were also accompanied by him. On the bank of Al-Furat, he

offered two Rakt Nafl al and headed towards thebridge of Al-Furat.

After reaching on the bridge, Sayyidun Al pointed his staff towards the river that lowered the water level by ayard. He again pointed the staff towards the river whichfurther lowered by a yard. The third time he pointed and

the water lowered more up to three yards and the flood subsided.The people requested, O Amr-ul-Mminn! This is enough. Pleasestop. (Shawid-un-Nubwwa, pp. 214)

A water spring gushed out

Going on the way to Maqm-e-iffn, the battalion of Sayyidun

Al came across a land where there was no signof water and the troops exhausted due to intense thirst. A monkof a nearby church told they could find water 14 kilometresaway from there. Some of companions sought permission to gothere for quenching their thirst. Listening to them Sayyidun Al mounted his mule and pointing out a place heordered to dig the ground. They started digging until a heavy rock

appeared. All efforts to take the rock out were in vain. Seeing theefforts, Sayyidun Al dismounted the mule andthe blessed fingers of his both the hands fumbled the crack in therock and all of a sudden he pulled the heavy rock off. And the pureand crystal-clear stream of water gushed forth underneath the rock,thus the whole battalion quenched the thirst from it. The troopsalso let their animals drink the water and filled the containers. Then

Sayyidun Al put that rock back to its place.

The monk of the church witnessed the marvel and said to SayyidunAl , Are you a prophet? The response of SayyidunAl was in negation. The monk said, Are you anangel? He said, Of course not! He then asked, Who areyou? Sayyidun Al replied back, I am one of

the companions of the Last Prophet Muhammad Bin Abdull and he had also advised me of

something important. Having heard this much, the monk recitedthe Kalima (article of faith) and embraced Islam. Sayyidun Al

asked him, Why have you taken so long time inembracing Islam? The monk said, It has been written in our religiousbooks that there is a hidden stream near the church which will berevealed by a prophet or a companion of the prophet and hence I


15/87

and many other monks before me stayed at this church in waitingfor the same. Today my dream came true to witness the event whenyou uncovered the mystery of this hidden stream; I, therefore,wholeheartedly embraced Islam.

Sayyidun Al wept so much that his beard

drenched in tears. He then said, ! I have been mentionedeven in their books. The monk became one of the companions andwarriors of Sayyidun Al and died as martyrwhile fighting against Syrians. Sayyidun Al

himself buried him and prayed for his forgiveness. (Mulakhkha az:Karmat-e-aba, pp. 114; Shawid-un-Nubwwa, 216)

Murtaz shayr-e-Khud, marab kush, Khyber kush

Paraphrase of Kalm-e-Raz:O Murta! O the Lion of Allah! O theone who knocked down Marab! (A Jew namely Marab Bin ri a renowned wrestler of Arab and warlord of fort Khyber) O thevictorious of Khyber! O my master! O the one defeating enemysbattalion alone! O the troubleshooter! Help me!

A paralysed was cured

Once Amr-ul-Mminn Sayyidun Al was presentin the House of Allah (Kaba) with both of his sons Sayyidun Immasan and usayn . Noticing a person supplicating inthe court of Allah , Sayyidun Al ordered to

bring the person to him. One side of his body was affected by paralysis;therefore, he moved crawling and came to him. He


16/87

enquired what had happened to him. The person said, Amr-ul-Mminn, I was bold in committing sins and my father, who was arighteous and pious Muslim, would tend to prevent me from sinsrepeatedly. Once my anger boiled over upon his advising to me andI hit him hard. Having been hit, my father then sorrowfully went tothe Kaba and made supplications against me. All of a sudden Iwas under his curse and one side of my body was affected byparalysis and I had to move crawling on the ground. This divinepunishment taught me an admonitory lesson and I asked my fathers

pardon tearfully. Being helpless with fatherly love, he had pity on meand forgave me. He then said to me, My son, let you go with me! Iwill pray for your health exactly at the same place where I hadcursed you.

Thus, we were on the way to Makka riding a she-camel. All of a sudden, she stumbled and my father fell down

between two solid rocks and passed away,

. Now Ihave come alone to the House of Allah. I keep on praying tearfully

to Almighty Allah for my health.

Amr-ul-Mminn Sayyidun Al listened to hispathetic story and said sympathically, O person! If your father was

really pleased with you, have patience, everything willbe okay. Then Sayyidun Al

offered few Rakt

of al praying for his healing and then said, ! i.e. stand up.

Upon listening to this, the person stood up comfortably and succeededin moving normal. (Mulakhkha az: ujjatulli-alal-lamn, pp. 614)

Reward of good conduct with Als progeny

Once there was a person namely Ab Jafar from Kufa who was fair

to everyone in his dealings. At particular, he would accept whateverbe the low price paid by anyone from amongst the progeny ofSayyidun Al or he would record the amount asa debt to Sayyidun Al . Unfortunately he turnedto be insolvent with the passage of time.

Once he was sitting at the door of his house. A man who was going past

taunted, Has your big debtor (i.e. Sayyidun Al )settled the debt yet or not? He was greatly shocked by the taunthurled at him. When he slept at night, he was blessed with the visionof the Great Prophet . asanayn Karmayn were also with him. The Noble Prophet asked hisgrandsons about their father. Sayyidun Al repliedfrom behind, O Prophet! I am present here. The Holy Prophet

inquired, Why do you not fulfill his right? He replied, Y Raslall ! I have alreadybrought the money with me. Hand it over to him, said the Prophet . Sayyidun Al handed over awoollen pouch full of money to the person and said, It is your due.The Holy Prophet said to the person, Receive it anddo not refuse anyone from his progeny who comes and asks you for

loan. From now onwards, you will never suffer poverty, destitution,and deprivation.

By the time he woke up, he found the very woollen pouch in hishand. He called his wife and said, Tell me if I am asleep or awake?She replied, You are fully awake. He became jubilant and relatedthe whole story to his wife. When he checked the list of debtors, he

found that there was not a single penny of debt mentioned in the


18/87

name of Sayyidun Al (i.e. all debts recorded inthe list were found paid off). (Shawid-ul-aq, pp. 246)

. He remained active throughout his life to support

Paraphrasing of Kalm-e-Raz: Sayyidun Al-ul-Murta is the very origin and foundation of the pure andpious Sdt, he is the mediator for becoming Wil Bill (i.e. beingclose to Allah ) and is the portal from where virtues of Wilyatcome from. May there be millions of salutations onto him!

Reason of mentioning and writing When the tribe Quraysh suffered from famine, the Most Dignified

Prophet brought Sayyidun Al with him so as to reduce the burden (of the necessities) of childrenon Ab lib. Sayyidun Al was reared by theBeloved Prophet . Opening his eyes he saw theresplendence of the Noble Prophet ,heard him only,and learned his habits too. So, as Sayyidun Al came of age, he had a strong faith (mn) in Allah and His

Oneness. His faith was never polluted with idols worshipping;therefore, he was entitled to . (Fatw Razawiyya,vol. 28, pp. 436)

At the age of 10, he embraced Islam. The most beloveddaughter of the Blessed Prophet SayyidatunFima-tuz-Zar

was married to Sayyidun Al

. As Sayyidun Imm asan is his elderson, his Kunya is Abul asan and the Beloved and Blessed Prophet

granted him the Kunya of Ab Turb. (Trkh-ul-Khulaf, pp. 132) This Kunya was dearer to him than even his realname. (a Bukhr, vol. 2, pp. 535, ad 3703)

How and when Kunya Ab Turb was granted!Sayyidun Sal Bin Sad narrated: One day Sayyidun Al went to Sayyidatun Fima-tuz-Zar then came to Masjid and lay there. The Noble Prophet came (to home) and asked Sayyidatun Fima aboutSayyidun Al . She replied that he was in Masjid.The Beloved Prophet

went to Masjid and found the

back of Sayyidun Al covered with the dust owing


21/87


12

to the displacement of the sheet. The Great Prophet

started removing the dust from his back and said twice, i.e. wake up, you Ab Turb. (a Bukhr, vol. 1, pp. 169, ad 441)

Us nay laqab-e-khk Shaansh say py

Jo aydar-e-Karrr kay maul ay amr

(adiq-e-Bakhshish)

He would recite whole Quran in a moment

At the time of riding the horse, Sayyidun Al would start reciting the Holy Quran putting the first foot in onestirrup of the horse and would complete the recitation of the entireHoly Quran before putting the second foot in the other stirrup.

(Shawid-un-Nubwwa, pp. 212)

Grandeur of Maul Al as mentioned in Quran

Allah has said in the Holy Quran:

Those who give their money in charity in night and day secretly and

openly, they have their reward with their Rab. They neither have any

fear nor sorrow.

[Kanz-ul-mn (Translation of Quran)] (Part 2, Sra Al-Baqara, Verse 274)


22/87


13

Four ways of giving four dirham in charity

adr-ul-Afil Allma Mauln Sayyid Muhammad Namuddn

Murdbd has explained as regards this verse inTafsr Khazin-ul-Irfn: According to one of the verdict, this versewas revealed in favour of Sayyidun Al . Once hepossessed only four silver coins and nothing else for donating incharity; so he donated all the four coins in charity - one coin at night,one during the day, one secretly and the other openly.

Sukhan kar yan Ar k itmm ko puanch

Tayr aamat pay niq ab b ayn yt-e-Qurn

(Wasil-e-Bakhshish, pp. 498)

Our way of giving charity

! How majestic are the righteous servants of Allah! Asyou have read that they prefer to donate the money with sincerityrather than accumulating it. Sayyidun Al hadfour (silver coins of) dirham which he donated in the path ofAllah in such a way that one was given in day time and anotherat night, one secretly and another openly as one does not knowwhich dirham being more acceptable in the court of Allah will

bring the endless wealth of never-ending bliss and blessings.

On the other hand, even if we intend to give something in charity,the intention of gaining the consent of Allah lacks within us!There is no sincerity and no desire for seeking pleasure of Allah as well. All we want is just to show off that how much money we havegiven in charity. We never get satisfied until our charity becomes

known to others. If its given at Masjid, we want Imm Sahib to callour name aloud in his prayer (Du) so that people would get to


23/87


14

know about our contributed amount in charity. If a Muslim issupported, the supporter has a desire that somehow or the other hisname should be mentioned, the songs of his generosity should besung by people. If we oblige someone, we want him to be staying asour servant or slave, and praise us to the skies. The Holy Quran isinstructing us not to talk too much with pride about somethingwe do for others as well as ask only Allah for the reward. AsAllah has said in Part 3, Sra Al-Baqara, Verse 262:

Those who spend their money in the path of Allah, then after spending

neither boast of favours conferred nor hurt, their reward is with their

Allah. [Kanz-ul-mn (Translation of Quran)] (Part 3, Sra Al-Baqara, Verse 262)

adr-ul-Afil Allma Mauln Sayyid Muhammad NamuddnMurdbd has explained as regards the above-mentioned verse: Remembering a favour means to mention it toothers and remind them what we have done to them and makingthem sad. And hurting them means to make them feel embarrassedsaying that you were helpless, hopeless and a poor fellow of no use;

we stood by you or give them pressure in some other way isprohibited. (Khazin-ul-Irfn) If only for the sake of Sayyidun Al may Allah enable us with the sincere passionto give charity.

Sayyidun Als comprehension of Holy Quran

Amr-ul-Mminn Al said: I swear by Allah !

I know every verse of the Holy Quran that when and where it wasrevealed. Verily, my Rab has bestowed me a heart to understandand a tongue to question. (ilya-tul-Auliy, vol. 1, pp. 108)

Day taapnay paaknay k taufq day

Day dil-e-Murtaz sawz-e-iddq day

Exegesis of Sra Al-Ftia

Amr-ul-Mminn Sayyidun Al said: I couldload 70 camels with the exegesis of Sra Al-Ftia If I would. (Itmeans that its exegesis can take enough registers to be the burden

of 70 camels.)(Qt-ul-Qulb, vol. 1, pp. 92)

Portal of the city of knowledge and wisdom

Two sayings of the Holy Prophet :

1. i.e. I am the city of knowledge and Al isits portal. (Al-Mustadrak, vol. 4, pp. 96, ad 4693)

2. i.e. I am the house of wisdom and Al isits portal. (Jmi Tirmi, vol. 5, pp. 402, ad 3744)

Grandeur of Al as mentioned by NabAmr-ul-Mminn Sayyidun Al

reported that

once the Holy Prophet (speaking to me) said: You

16

are the example of (Sayyidun) s ( ) against whom the Jewshad grudges; even they slandered his mother and when Christiansloved him, they elevated him to such a higher status which he didntdeserve.

Sayyidun Al further said: Two kinds of peoplewill be devastated on account of me; the ones crossing the limits inintense devotion (love) to me will add those characteristics in methat I dont possess and the ones bearing grudges against me willprovoke them to slander me. (Musnad Imn Amad Bin anbal, vol. 1,pp. 336, ad, 1376)

Tafzl k jo y na o Maul k wil mayn

Yn co kay gawar ko na t bar-e-khazaf j

(auq -e-Naat)

Meaning:Do not love Sayyidun Al to such extent

which gives an impression that he was superior to ShaykhaynKarmayn ! Making such a mistake of abandoning pearlslike precious & transparent faith, do not adopt faith absolutelyuseless and of no account.

Grudge against Al

With reference to the above mentioned ad, the renowned exegetistof the Quran Shaykh Muft Amad Yr Khn has stated:Love for Al ( ) is the kernel of faith. However it isbad to cross the limit in love. But grudge against Al is reallyarm and some time it is even Kufr (unbelief). (Mirt-ul-Manj,vol. 8, pp. 424)

Sayyidun Al-ul-Murta is such a scholarlyperson of great eminence who possesses both the knowledge of seen

and unseen. (Ibn Askir, vol. 42, pp. 400)

Three distinctions of Al

Amr-ul-Mminn Sayyidun Umar Frq is reported tohave said, Sayyidun Al-ul-Murta holds threepre-eminence and even if one of them were given to me, it would bemore precious to me than the red camels. The companions thenasked about those three distinctions. He said:

1.

The Holy Prophet gave his daughter Fima-tuz-Zar to him in marriage.

2. He lived with the Holy Prophet at Masjid-un-Nabaw and whatever was made all for him in Masjid wasonly his part.

3. The flag of Islam was given to him at the battle of Khyber.(Al-Mustadrak, vol. 4, pp. 94, ad 4689)

With regard to excellence and distinction, stating as per the sequenceset by the Al-us-Sunna the true school of thought, adr-ush-Shara, Badr-u-arqa, Allma Mauln Muft MuhammadAmjad Al Aam has said: All the companionssuperior or inferior (and there is no inferior among them) will goto Paradise. After the Prophets and Messengers, iddq Akbar

then Umar Frq Aam then Umn Ghan then Sayyidun Al are superior to all the creatures of Allah includinggenies, human beings and angels. Whosoever declares SayyidunAl as superior to Sayyidun iddq or Frq orGhan is astray and Bad-Maab. The superiority afterthe four caliphs is for Ashara Mubashshara, asanayn Karmayn,

and honourable before Allah and it is also regarded as copiousreward. (Mulakhkha az: Bar-e-Sharat, vol. 1, pp. 241-254)

Strange secret of being never thirsty

The people who have an ideology of Dam dam mast Qalandar, Al

d pel number are very much mistaken. To rectify them, a faith-refreshing parable is presented below. Read and accept the truth ifAllah grants Taufq:

Sayyidun Shaykh Ab Muhammad Abdull Mutad

has narrated: , I was privileged to perform Hajj. In aram,I heard about a person who would not drink water - I was greatlysurprised. I went to see him and asked the reason. He began to tell,I am from Hillah (a city in central Iraq). Once I saw a horrific scenein my dream and found myself exhausted due to the intense thirstand somehow I managed to get to the aw-e-Kawar. I found inthere Sayyidun iddq Akbar, Sayyidun Umar Frq Aam,Sayyidun Umn Ghan and Sayyidun Al - all ofthese respected luminaries were distributing the water to the people.

I moved to Sayyidun Al because I esteemed himvery much and considered him superior to the rest of three caliphsof Islam. To my surprise, he turned away from me! I wasvery thirsty so I went to the rest of three caliphs one by one and eachof them ignored me i.e. turned their faces away from me.

In the mean time, I came across the Prophet . I camenear him and complained, Sayyidun Al turned his face awayfrom me not to speak of quenching my thirst. The Holy Prophet said, How they would give you water! You are enviousof my companions. Having heard this I was sure that I upheld anuntrue faith. Being full of remorse, I repented sincerely before theHoly Prophet . The Blessed Prophet

gave a bowl of water which I drank and then I woke up.

I dont feel thirsty ever since I had a bowl of water from the blessedhands of the Beloved Prophet . After this dream, I

have advised my family to do penance and those who did penanceand accepted Al-us-Sunna, I have maintained my relations tothem and broke with the rest. (Mulakhkha az: Mib-u-alm, pp. 74)

Jab dman-e-azrat say am o gaye wbasta

Duny kay sab rishtay baykr naar ye

Dear Islamic brothers! It is concluded from the foregoing parablethat the identity of a true Muslim is that he greatly dignifies thehonour and glory of all honourable companions . If aperson has love for some companions and has hatred with someothers then he is seriously mistaken. May Allah bestow us theundying devotion and love for the honourable companions andAl-e-Bayt and in the same state of elated love and

devotion, under the green tomb (Gumbad-e-Khazr), before theMost Beloved confer martyrdom, burial in Jannat-ul-Baq at Madna, the sacred neighbourhood of the Greatest Prophet

and his four companions in Jannat-ul-Firdaus on us!

Beholding Al is Ibda

On page 74 of Sawni Karbal [the 192-page publication of

Maktaba-tul-Madna, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami],Allma Mauln Sayyid Muhammad Namuddn Murdbd has quoted a ad: Sayyidun Ibn Masd stated that the Holy Prophet said, BeholdingAl-ul-Murta ( ) is Ibda. (Al-Mustadrak, vol. 4,pp. 118, ad 4737)

Conversation with the deceased

Sayyidun Imm Abdur Ramn Jalluddn Suy Shfi has quoted in Shar-u-udr: Sayyidun Sad Bin

Musayyab has stated, Once we went past the graveyard

with Amr-ul-Mminn, Sayyidun Al-ul-Murta .Sayyidun Maul Al (greeting the people ofthe graves with Salm) said, O people of the grave! Will yougive your news to us, or shall we give our news to you? SayyidunSad Bin Musayyab said, We heard the words of

from the grave, and somebody was saying,O Amr-ul-Mminn! Give us the news about what happened afterour death.

Sayyidun Maul Al then said, Listen! Yourassets have been divided, your wives have remarried, your childrenwere included in the orphans, and your enemies are living in thehouses which you made so strong. Now tell us what happened withyou. Listening to that, reply came from a grave, O Amr-ul-Mminn!

Our shrouds have been ripped to shreds, our hair withered away, our

skin worn into pieces, our eyes poured out onto our cheeks, and pusis flowing through our nostrils. We have got whatever we had sentforward (i.e. the deeds we performed), and we have incurred loss inwhatever we left behind. (Shar-u-udr, pp. 209; Ibn Askir, vol. 27, pp. 395)

Madan pearls of admonition

Dear Islamic brothers! The foregoing parable let us have a glimpseof Sayyidun Als rank and glory and the listening power as how

he

conversed with dead persons and asked them abouttheir conditions of Al-Barzakh, listened to their replies and let themknow about worldly affairs. Surely it is one of his magnificentmarvels as well as there are Madan pearls of admonition that theone who doesnt mend his deeds and belief neither does he pay anyattention to his afterlife but keeps obeying only his sensual pleasurein this world, his grave for him will turn into the house of adversity

then such concern and interest in the worldly desires will no longerbe of use.

Moreover, the one who kept spending his time specifically inaccumulating the riches of the world and later died in the samecondition and eventually buried in the dark grave, he will never everbenefit himself with his enormous wealth; his family and heirs will

take up his wealth and they will fight and later leave each other afterhaving their share. Whereas this naive person engrossed in the craze

24

of accumulating wealth, living sinful life and ignoring the differencebetween all & arm will deserve the torment of hellfire.

Benevolence of Mustafa for Maul Al Mushkil-Kush

Dear Islamic brothers! The excellence and accomplishments ofSayyidun Al mentioned so far are just for thesake of the Beloved Prophet . Due to deep affectionand special attention of the Holy Prophet , Allah bestowed upon him such impressive rank that every succeeding

individual is envious of him. The Holy Prophet showed his profound love which distinguished him from all and thisgreat eminence cannot be achieved by even the biggest Wal, Qub,Ghau and Abdl. In Bar-e-Sharat, Volume 1, Page 253: A Walof the most superior rank cannot achieve the status of ab.

The conqueror of Khyber

Reflecting the deep affection and special attention of the Belovedand Blessed Prophet on Sayyidun Al-ul-Murta , read a faith-enlightening parable. Sayyidun SalBin Sad has narrated: The Holy Prophet said on the day of Khyber, I will give this flag to a man who will bevictorious by the grace of Allah . He loves Allah and His

Rasl ( ) and Allah and His Rasl ( )love him as well.


34/87


25

Everyone in the next morning had hoped that the flag would begiven to him. The Holy Prophet said, Where is AlBin Ab lib? The people told that he had been suffering from eyeinfection. The Holy Prophet called for him. He wasbrought and the Holy Prophet applied his saliva onhis eyes and supplicated to Allah . He recovered as if he did nothave any pain and then he was given the flag. Sayyidun Al-ul-Murta said, O Prophet ! ShallI fight the battle until they embrace Islam? The Beloved Rasl

said, Be courteous till you step into the battlefield.Call them toward Islam and let them know the rights of Allah

which are mandatory for them. I swear to Allah ! If Allahgives guidance to even one person by means of you then it is muchbetter for you than you have red camels. (a Bukhr, vol. 2, pp. 312,ad 3009; a Muslim, pp.1311, ad 2406)

A glimpse into aydars strengthIn the battle of Khyber, a Jew struck at Sayyidun Al .During this attack, the shield of Sayyidun Al felldown. Nonetheless, he managed to reach the entrance ofthe fort and pulled the gate off the wall with his bare hands andused it to defend him. He held the door firmly and

continued to fight until he conquered the Khyber. The door wassaid to be so heavy that even 40 persons tried in vain to lift it afterthe battle. (Dalil-un-Nubuwwa lil-Bayaq, vol. 4, pp. 212)

26

Someone else has also said rightly:

Al aydar! Tayr shawkat tayr awlat k ky kehn

Kay khuba pa ra ay j tak Khyber k ar arra

Als bravery is matchless

Bravery is the most distinctive characteristic of Amr-ul-Mminn

Sayyidun Al-ul-Murta . The authenticity ofthis characteristic has also been affirmed by the voice from theunseen. It is narrated: Once Sayyidun Al wasstriking the unbelievers cutting them into pieces in a battle, a voice

called out from unseen, There is no

brave except Al and there is no sword except ul-Fiqr. (Juz Al-asanBin Arafa-tul-Abad, pp. 62, ad 38, Mkhzan)

ayn Al mushkil-kush sya kun sar per mayray


Blessings of saliva and supplication of Mustafa Karm

Amr-ul-Mminn Sayyidun Al said, My eyeshave never suffered from conjunctivitis (i.e. the inflammation ofthe eyes) since I applied the blessed saliva of the Holy Prophet . (Musnad Imm Amad Bin anbal, vol. 1, pp. 169, ad 579)

Sayyidun Al used to put on warm clothes insummer and light clothes in winter. Upon asking why he would doso, he replied that when the Holy Prophet applied


36/87


27

the blessed saliva into my eyes through his mouth, he

also prayed for me: i.e. O Allah, may Al not

feel hot and cold weather!Since then neither do I feel cold nor hot.(Ibn Mja, vol. 1, pp. 83, ad 117)

Ijbat k sar inyat k jo

Dulan ban kay nikl Du-e-Muhammad(adiq-e-Bakhshish)

Devotion of Maul AlDespite being very brave, Sayyidun Al-ul-Murta was free from the canker of arrogance, ostentation and self-absorption, but he was embodiment of good conduct. As AllmaAl Qr has said, Maul Al knockeddown an unbeliever in a fight and sat on his chest with an intention

to kill him. The opponent spat at him. Maul Al

released him immediately and stood up. The opponent then asked

the reason and Maul Al said, Your act of spittingmade me angry. Consequently, you could have been killed due tocontempt of me not of my religion. I therefore let you go. Theunbeliever was deeply moved by his conduct and became a Muslim.(Mirqt-ul-Maft, vol. 7, pp. 16, ad 3451)

Dear Islamic brothers! You must have noticed that the demonstrationof Sayyidun Als conduct brought good fortune for a Jew whoacquired the magnificent wealth of Islam. Similarly, other Aslf (thepredecessor) kept on weighing their good deeds lest it should not bean act of ostentation. If they found a slight suspicion of interferenceby their Nafs and Satan or hypocritical piety then they took

precautions immediately and at times they made it possible torepeat that virtuous deed.

Repeated al of 30 years

A saint offered his al for 30 years in the first row of a

Masjid. Once he did not find the place in the first row so he joinedthe second row and began to feel ashamed that the people wouldsay, Look! He has missed first row today. As soon as this thoughtcrossed his mind, he retained his senses and came to account for hisNafs saying: O Nafs! The al that I have been performing in thefirst row for the last 30 years are just for showing off that now youare ashamed of yourself? Therefore, he offered his 30 years al

again setting an outstanding example of humility and morality.(Iy-ul-Ulm, vol. 2, pp. 302)

May Allah have mercy on him and forgive us for his withoutaccountability!

you. (Jmi Tirmi, vol. 5, pp. 399, ad 3736)

Meaning: O the light of the blessed countenance of Maul Al , illuminate me all over for the sake of Allah !O the darkness of my heart, go away from me for the sake of MaulAl !

You are my brother

Sayyidun Abdull Bin Umar has narrated that theHoly Prophet constituted the brotherhood inMadna among the Mujirn and Anr . Maul Al came with tears rolling down his eyes and said,

O Prophet ! You have initiated the brotherhoodamong the companions but why did you not make me brother of

anyone? The Holy Prophet said,

i.e. you are my brother in the world as well as in the hereafter.(Jmi Tirmi, vol. 5, pp. 401, ad 3741)

Explanation of ad

The renowned exegetist of the Quran Shaykh Muft Amad Yr Khn has stated with regard to the above-mentioned ad:You are my first cousin and now according to Aqd-e-Muwkht(i.e. the act of brotherhood), I have made you my brother and youare my brother in the world as well as in the hereafter.

! But point to be noted that despite this fact, Maul Al never called out the Blessed Prophet


39/87


30

as his brother; instead, whenever he called him, he always called outY Raslall. Then how any Tom, Dick and Harry can have theright to call by brother! (Mirt-ul-Manj, vol. 8, pp. 418)

Als love for the Holy Prophet

Someone asked Sayyidun Al , How much do

you love the Holy Prophet ? He replied, I swearupon Allah ! We love the Beloved Prophet morethan our health and wealth, family and parents and even the coldwater that quenches our raging thirst. (Ash-Shif, vol. 2, pp. 22)

The distinctive traits of Al

Sayyidun Ab li narrated, Once Sayyidun AmrMuwiya said to Sayyidun irr , Pleasestate me the traits (i.e. distinguishing features) of Sayyidun Al . Sayyidun irr said, One cannotcomprehend the gnosis (i.e. spiritual knowledge) that SayyidunAl would possess; he had an iron will in regardwith Allahs matters and in supporting His religion; he spoke in a

decisive manner and he was at his best when he did justice. Theeminent personality of Maul Al was thefountain of knowledge and wisdom. Whenever he spoke, his speechwas full of the pearls of wisdom; he stayed away from the world andits matters; he was pleased to worship Allah in the darkness ofnight made him glad. By Allah ! He was very tearful, agile andgrieved. He accounted for his Nafs, liked coarse and thick clothes

and ate thick bread.


40/87


31

By Allah ! Everyone was a bit afraid to talk to him. If we everwent to meet him, he always greeted us first with delight.He

answered our queries and accepted our invitation.

When he smiled, the blessed teeth looked as if they were a string ofwhite pearls. He respected the pious, loved Maskn, nevergave hope to any influential or affluent to fulfil their useless desires.No vulnerable person went disappointed from his court; rather, hewas sure to have justice.

By Allah

! I witnessed when the night fell, he wept bitterly

holding his beard and writhed like a wounded. I heard him saying:O world! Have you turned your face away from me or you are stilldesirous of me? O you deceptive world! Go and mislead someoneelse and leave me alone. I have divorced you three times and willnever reconcile with you again. Your age is too short, your comfortis corrosive, and your losses are huge. Ah! The last journey is much

longer, the provisions are not enough, and the route is tortuous fullof danger.

Having heard this much, Sayyidun Amr Muwiya weptso much so that his beard was drenched in tears and the peoplepresent in there were also crying. Then he said: May peacebe upon Abul asan (Sayyidun Al-ul-Murta )!

By Allah ! He was so as told. (Uyn-ul-ikyat, pp. 25)

Maul Al is Wal of the believers

Sayyidun Imrn Bin uayn has said: The Holy Prophet said, (Meaning: Al is

32

from me and I am from Al, and he is the Wal of every believer.)(Tirmi, vol. 5, p. 498, ad 3732)

Wsia Nabiyaun kay Sarwar k

Wsia iddq-o-Umar k

Wsia Umn-o-aydar k

Y Allah! Mayr jaul bar day


What does Wal refer here?

The renowned exegetist of the Quran Shaykh Muft Amad YrKhn has stated that here Wal does not mean caliphbut friend or helper. As Allah has said:

None is your friend but Allah and the Holy Prophet and the

true believers.

[Kanz-ul-mn (Translation of Quran)] (Part 6, Sra Al-Mida, Verse 55)

Here also Wal means helper. The aforementioned part of the versehas brought about two notions. Firstly, invoking Y Al Madad inhardship is permissible to say because Sayyidun Al is the helper of all the true believers till the Day of Judgment.Secondly, calling him Maul Al is also allowed as he is Wal andMaul of all the Muslims. (Mirt-ul-Manj, vol. 8, pp. 417)

Excellence of love for Al-e-Bayt

One day the Holy Prophet held the hands of Immasan and usayn and said, The one who keeps me asfriend and keeps them as friends as well and keeps their parents asbeloved, he will be with me on the Day of Judgment. (Musnad AmadBin anbal, vol. 1, pp. 168, ad 576)

fortunate enough to be near to the Beloved Prophet on the Judgment Day and he will be forgiven and absolved (from

his sins) for the sake of Al-e-Bayt, .

Once Imm asan and usayn fell ill. Amr-ul-Mminn,Sayyidun Al

, Sayyidatun Fima

and their maid Sayyidatun Fia vowed to observe fastfor three days for the recovery of both princes. Allah grantedboth the princes cure and the votive fasts were observed. SayyidunAl brought three (i.e. 160 gm less to 4 kg) ofbarley. Each amount of was cooked every day for three days.When the time of Ifr (i.e. the time when Muslims break the fast)

neared and the bread was placed before three of them. One day aMiskn, second day an orphan and third day a prisoner knocked atthe door and bagged for food. All bread was given to the beggars allthree days and they had to break their fast with only water andfasted the next day. (Khazin-ul-Irfn, pp. 1073)

May Allah have mercy on them and forgive us for their sakewithout holding us accountable!

In the Holy Quran, Allah has described this faith-inspiringincident of self-sacrifice belonging to the family of Amr-ul-Mminn,Sayyidun Al

in the following way:

And they feed, for love of Him, the poor, the orphan and the prisoner.

They say to them, We feed you for only the pleasure of Allah. We desireno recompense or thanks from you.

He will turn your beard red with blood

Sayyidun Ammr Bin Ysir has said: Sayyidun Al

and I were present in (Ghazwa il-Ushayra1), when the Holy Prophet said, Shall Inot inform you about those two culprits who are the most notoriousamongst all? We said, Why not, Y Raslall !The Holy Prophet replied, The one (i.e. Qadr BinSlif), from the people of amd, who chopped the blessed legs of

the sacred she-camel of Sayyidun li ( ), and O Al( ) second is the one who will strike your head with

the sword turning your beard into red with the blood. (Musnad ImmAmad Bin anbal, vol. 6, pp. 365, ad18349)

Conspiracy of three Khawrij against three companions

On page 76 of Sawni Karbal [the 192-page publication ofMaktaba-tul-Madna, a publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami],Allma Mauln Sayyid Muhammad Namuddn Murdbd has stated: One of the most notorious from Khawrij,named Abdur Raman Ibn Muljam Murd gathered Burak BinAbdull Tamm Khrij and Amr Bin Bukayr Tamm Khrij in

Makka and reached an agreement to murder Amr-ul-Mminn,Sayyidun Al, Sayyidun Amr Muwiya Bin Ab Sufyn andSayyidun Amr Bin . Therefore, Ibn Muljam agreedto murder Sayyidun Al and a certain date wasdecided.

Love affair brought misfortune for Ibn Muljam

It is stated inAl-Mustadrak: Ibn Muljam fell in an obsessive love witha cruel Khrij woman. For marriage, that cruel woman put forwardtwo demands of three thousand dirham as Mar (monetary dowry)

and that the murder of Amr-ul-Mminn, Sayyidun Al . (Al-Mustadrak, vol. 4, pp. 121, ad 4744)

Ibn Muljam reached Kufa and met the local Khawrij. When he to

let them know about his secret bad design they also saw eye to eyewith him.

Night of martyrdom

In that month of Ramadan (40 ijr) Amr-ul-Mminn, Sayyidun

Al had a routine of breaking his fast (Ifr) onenight at Sayyidun Imm usayn, one night at Sayyidun Immasan Mujtab and one night at Sayyidun Abdull Bin Jafar .He would not eat more than three morsels (due to lesseating) and would say, It feels good to meet Allah with anempty stomach. At the night of martyrdom, he came out of his homeagain and again, looking at the sky and said, By Allah , I wasnt

given false news; this is the very night I was promised. (It means he was already aware of his martyrdom.) (Sawni Karbal,

pp. 76-77)

While he wason his way to Masjid calling the people for alt-ul-Fajr, suddenlythe notorious and wicked Ibn Muljam attacked him in the dark anda fatal stroke of his sword slashed his forehead till the temple and

the sharp edge hurt the brain. In the meantime, people rushedtowards the cursed Khrij and caught him. After two days of thisawful tragedy, Amr-ul-Mminn, Sayyidun Al passed away a martyr. (Trkh-ul-Khulaf, pp. 139)

stand up, the monstrous bird pecked on the man, cut him again intopieces and ate him back. That horrifying sequence continued forseveral days. My belief strengthened in Gods powers after witnessingthat incident, that surely God Almighty has the powers to give deathand then bring us back to life.

One day, I drew my attention towards the gigantic bird and asked

it, For the sake of the One Who gave you life! This time when thishuman is formed, leave him alone so I can ask him about his action.

The bird replied in fluent Arabic, My Rab is the only Sovereign andHe is Eternal, everything else is mortal. I am an angel designated tocontinuously punish him for his sin.

Next time, when the human was formed, I asked him, O human,who has wronged his soul! Who are you and what is your story? Hereplied, I am Abdur Ramn Ibn Muljim, the murderer of SayyidunAl ( ). After I died, my soul went in front ofAllah , I was given my Book of Deeds. All my actions good orevil were recorded in it from my birth to the martyrdom ofSayyidun Al ( ). Then Allah ordered thisangel to punish me till the Day of Judgment. The man did not sayanything after this, and the monstrous bird pecked at him, swallowedhim and left. (Shar-u-udr, pp. 17)

Terrible fate of hankering after lust

Dear Islamic brothers! You have just read that the murderer ofMaul Al who was an astray and irreligiousKhrij eventually met a terrible fate! Why that unfortunate persongot convinced to commit such a deadly sin as mentioned earlierthat he was in love with a Khrij woman. His beloved was agreed tomarry him on condition of the murder of Maul Al. Alas! In theworldly love of a human, Ibn Muljam got blind and he martyred

such an eminent personality Amr-ul-Mminn Sayyidun Al-ul-Murta . Not to speak of marrying that ill-disposed woman, this wicked person was punished in a way thatpeople caught him and sliced him into pieces, put the pieces in abasket and set fire; in few seconds he burnt to ashes.

Further, you have just read about the severe torment which he will

continue to suffer after death till the Doomsday. This doomed

person neither got anything here nor hereafter. Sayyidun AbDard has rightly said, Following the sexual desire forfew seconds causes long sufferings. (Az-Zud-ul-Kabr lil-Bayaq, pp. 157,ad 344)

Eminence of the Prophets companions

The companion Sayyidun Ab Sad Khudr has narratedthat the Holy Prophet has said, Do not speak ill ofmy companions because if anyone from you gave gold in charity

equal to Uud mountain, he would not be able to get reward as theyare rewarded on their 1 kilo alms or half of it. (a Bukhr, vol. 2,pp. 522, ad 3673)

Jitnay tray ayn us charkh-e--j kay

Jis qadar m pray ayn us m kay

J-nashn ayn jo mard-e-aq g kay

Aur jitnay ayn shazday us Sh kay

Un sab al-e-maknat pay lkaun salm

Renowned exegetist of the Quran Shaykh Muft Amad Yr Khn , with reference to the abovementioned ad has statedthat 4 Mud is equal to 1 and 1 is equal to 4 Sr then 1 Mudis equal to 11/16Sr (991gm) that is to say: My companion gives away(991 gm) barley in charity whereas any other Muslim whether he isa Ghau or a Qub or a common Muslim gives away mountainousgold, his gold cannot compete the companions 991gm barley inacceptance and being closer to Allah and so is the case withal, fasting and all other Ibda. It is just like 2 Rakt alperformed in Masjid-un-Nabaw is equal to 50,000 al performed

at other places.

Now just imagine about those who were blessed with the companyof the Beloved Prophet and feasted their eyes withthe divine sight of Mustafa Karm

then how about

the level of their Ibda! Of course incomparable with a layman!Consequently, this ad teaches us of honourable mention ofaba. Never talk about any companions with less respect. Thesespecial people were chosen by Allah for the blessed companyof His Beloved and Blessed Prophet . A kind heartedfather never let his son to keep bad company, then how the most

Gracious and Merciful Rab would like His Beloved Prophet to keep bad companions!

Repentance from corrupt beliefs

An Islamic brother from Latifabad, Hyderabad (Bb-ul-Islam, Sindh)

has stated: Due to some peoples company, my frame of mind wasspoilt and I began to raise objection to Mld and Niyz for threeyears. Before, I was very fond of reciting alt-Alan-Nab but dueto wrong peoples gathering, my passion for Durd-e-Pk just diedout. Once I happened to read about the excellence of alt-Alan-Nab which restored my passion for alt-Alan-Nab and then Ibounded myself to recite it in abundance. Once in the night, reciting

alt-Alan-Nab, I fell asleep and in my dream I saw the green domeand suddenly I called out; .In the next morning, I felt restless in my heart thinking only of whatthe right path was! Coincidently, for dissemination of the Sunna, aMadan Qfila of Prophets devotees belonging to Dawat-e-Islamiwas staying at a nearby Masjid and someone invited me to join the

Madan Qfila. Since I was confused, I accepted the invitation andbecame a traveller of Madan Qfila with the intention of findingout the truth. I was wearing white Imma (turban) whereas otherswere wearing green Imma, but no one criticised nor were theybeing sarcastic during my travelling and I didnt even feel myselfstranger among them. The head of Qfila introduced MadanInmt and suggested me to make it as routine. I studied MadanInmt and was surprised to have such wonderful Madan pearls oftraining I had ever had.

As a result of keeping company of Prophets devotees and the goodgrace of Madan Inmt, I got the blessing of Allah . I gatheredall travellers of Madan Qfila to bear witness and proclaimed thatI was heretic (Bad-Aqda) till the previous day but then I didpenance and intended to be affiliated with Madan environment of

Dawat-e-Islami. All Islamic brothers were glad and the followingday I offered l-e-awb on sweets of Rs. 30 in the name ofSayyidun Ghau-e-Aam Shaykh Abdul Qdir Jln

and distributed by myself. I had been a patient of asthma for 35years that troubled me each night and I had also pain in my right

jaw that prevented me to chew my meal properly. ! Withthe blessings of Madan Qfila, I did not have any asthma attackand I was then also able to chew my meal using the same painfuljaw without any problem. My heart bears witness that the religious

belief of Al-us-Sunna is true and I am prepossessed that thepurified Madan environment of Dawat-e-Islami is favoured byAllah and His Beloved Prophet .

How about calling Sayyidun Al as Mushkil-Kush

Question 1:How is it to consider Maul Al as

Mushkil-Kush? Isnt only Allah Mushkil-Kush?Answer:Mushkil-Kush means the one who solves problems andhelps in difficulties. There is no doubt that verily Allah isMushkil-Kush but by His Grace, Prophets, aba and Auliyeven a layman can be a Mushkil-Kush, a typical example of suchhelpers are the small billboards with Madadgr Police Phone No.15 in throughout Pakistan. Everyone knows that police is the mostresourceful and an able body to save the public from culprits, heists,danger of enemies and in other law & order situations. Thecompanions who had migrated from Makka toMadna were cordially welcomed and enormouslyhelped by the companions called Anr which meansthe helper. There are numerous examples can be given in this regard.

Consequently, when police being a helper, a social worker being asupporter, a watchman being a guard and a judge can be a providerof justice then why Maul Al , by the grace ofAllah , cannot be a Mushkil-Kush!

How about saying Maul Al?

Question 2:Mauln, excuse me please! You have just said MaulAl. However Allah is the only Maul.

Answer:Undoubtedly, Allah is literary the Maul. However,figuratively there is no harm in saying someone Maul. Nowadays

45

the Islamic scholars and every bearded face is called Mauln.Have you ever looked up the meaning of Mauln? If not, thenplease let you know that it means our Maul. Look! The wordMauln has also been used in your question. When we do nothave any evil whisper in calling a layman Mauln which meansour Maul then why we have evil whisper (Waswasa) in saying

Maul Al! Just recite and make Satan fleeaway; please rest assured that there is no harm in saying MaulAl. The explanation of Maul for Sayyidun Al-ul-Murta

has been explained in a ad, so listen to it andhave immense pleasure of love for Al.

He of whom I am Maul, of him Al is also Maul!

The Prophet of Rama, the Intercessor of Umma

has said: He of whom I am Maul, of him Alis also Maul. (Jmi Tirmi, vol. 5, pp. 398, ad 3733)

The meanings of Maul

The renowned exegetist Shaykh Muft Amad Yr Khn has stated according to forgoing ad: There are several meaningsof Maul for example, friend, helper, a freed slave, the one who

frees a slave. In this ad, the word Maul does not imply caliph orking but it implies friend and ally or in other words a helper. Infact, Sayyidun Al-ul-Murta is not only afriend of Muslims but also a helper which is why he iscalled Maul Al. (Mirt-ul-Manj, vol. 8, pp. 425)

In the Holy Quran, the angel Jibrl-e-Amn and pious Muslims are

called as Maul. Allah has stated in the Holy Quran:


55/87


46

Then indeed Allah is their Supporter, and Jibrl and the virtuousbelievers are also aides.

[Kanz-ul-mn (Translation of Quran)] (Part 28, Sra At-Tarm, Verse 4)

Ka jis ne Y Ghau aghin to dam mayn

ar y mubat al Ghau-e-Aam

(Smn-e-Bakhshish)

The meanings of Maul interpreted by the renowned

exegetists

Question 3:You have written the meaning of Maul as a helper, do

other exegetists agree to it?Answer:Why not! References from several books of exegesis (Tafsr)can be quoted as an example. In the following six books of exegesis,the meanings of Maul as mentioned in the above verse are Wal(friend) and Nir (helper):

i. Tafsr abar, Volume 12, Page 154ii. Tafsr Qurub, Volume 18, Page 143

iii. Tafsr Kabr, Volume 10, Page 570iv. Tafsr Baghw, Volume 4, Page 337v. Tafsr Khzin, Volume 4, Page 286

vi. Tafsr Nasf, Page 1257In addition, following are the names of 4 books in which the meaningof the word Maul has been given Nir i.e. a helper: (i) Tafsr

Best explanation of Question 4: It is included in the Sra Al-Ftia; i.e.and from You alone we seek help. As a consequence, is it Shirk toseek help from others?

Answer:In aforesaid portion of the verse, help is meant to be literalhelp i.e. it is being earnestly supplicated in the court of AlmightyAllah having considered Him as the Creator: O Rab! FromYou alone we seek help. As far as asking help from human being isconcerned, this is just to have known as the connection of divinefavour. As it is said in Sra Ysuf, Part 12, Verse 40:

Here is no Holy Order but of Allah. Or as said in Part 3, Sra Al-Baqara, Verse 255:

To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is

on the earth.


57/87


48

Then we take akm as akam the decision maker, and we claimthe ownership on our belongings. The portion of verse implies thatactual akam and the actual ownership but for the bondmen withHis bestowal. (J Al-aq, pp. 215) At many places the Holy Qurandeclares the people as helpers other than Allah. In this context, 4verses are as under:

1.

And seek help in patience and al.

[Kanz-ul-mn (Translation of Quran)] (Part 1, Sra Al-Baqara, Verse 45)

Is patience itself Allah with which it is ordered to seek help? Is alitself Allah with which it is ordered to get help from? In the secondverse, it is stated:

2.

And help one another in righteousness and piety.

[Kanz-ul-mn (Translation of Quran)] (Part 6, Sra Al-Mida, Verse 2)

If seeking help from other than Allah is strictly prohibited then whatis the following verse meant for?

3.

You do not have any friends except Allah and His Noble Messenger

and the believers who establish the al and pay the charity, and are

bowed down before Allah.[Kanz-ul-mn (Translation of Quran)] (Part 6, Sra Al-Mida, Verse 55)


58/87

4.

And the Muslim men and Muslim women are the friendsof one another.

[Kanz-ul-mn (Translation of Quran)] (Part 10, Sra At-Tauba, Verse 71)

This blessed verse has been interpreted as follows: And they havereligious affection reciprocally and are helper and friends of oneanother. (Khazin-ul-Irfn, Part 10, Sra At-Tauba, Verse 71)

According to true Islamic belief, if someone seeks help from theAnbiy Kirm and Auliy Kirm in the mistaken belief that they areresponsible for all profit and loss without the will of Allah ; thenit is indeed Shirk. On the other hand, if someone having a strongbelief that Allah is the Real Helper and the Owner of profitand loss, seeks help from someone (being merely potential helper

due to blessings and divine favour) then it is not at all Shirk. Andthis is our very religious belief.

Anyways, the portion of the verse of Sra Al-Ftia ( i.e. and from You alone we seek help) is true but to hell with Satanbecause he instils the evil thought into the heart and createmisapprehensions.

Just ponder over the verse in which it is definitely forbidden to seekhelp other than Allah without specifically mentioned about dead oralive. The obvious and literal meaning interpreted and understoodby those with evil thought, regardless of others, even they themselvescannot help committing Shirk. For instance, there is a heavy bundlelying on the ground and one is helpless to lift it alone; calling

someone for help and said, Please help me in lifting this burden sothat I could put it on my head. As per the same evil thought, is it


59/87

not Shirk? Of course it is! Thousands of such examples can be given,thus, there are numerous scenes around us of a range of facilitiesoffered by society help from other than Allah! For instance

i.e. spending in the path of Allah is meant to bemutual support! It includes adaqa and charity, Fira andZak, donations to Masjid and Madris, demands of the skins ofslaughtered animals, social welfare organizations, etc. etc., all suchstand for only help, give assistance; be of service or improve thecondition of others through aid.

Furthermore, there are courts of law to help the suppressed, hospitalsare for help of patients, police are for the interior safety of public,whereas army secures form the exterior foes, parents are required tofoster children while schools are needed for their education, in short,in every walks of life, help and support are required by Ghayrull(other than Allah) but even after death, the funeral and burial is not

possible without the help of someone other than Allah. Nevertheless,help is still needed through l-e-awb until the Judgement Dayand on even the Last Day, an unavoidable help is most wanted thatis the intercession of our Beloved Prophet . These allhelps are from Ghayrull.

Persuasion of seeking help from other than Allah in Ad

Question 5:Please narrate some Ad on persuasion to seek helpfrom other than Allah!

Answer: As for incentive of seeking help from other than Allah,there are two sayings of Mustafa Karm :

1. Ask the kind-hearted people of my Umma for your needs andyou will get Rizq (sustenance). (Al-Jmi-u-aghr lis-Suy, pp. 72,ad 1106)

2. Ask the people having beautiful faces for your needs andgoodness. (Al-Mujam-ul-Kabr lil-abarn, vol. 11, pp. 67, ad 11110)

Allah

has said, Ask of my kind-hearted bondmen so you will

get comfort and live peacefully under their shade for I have kept myblessings hidden in them. (Musnad-ush-Shab, vol. 1, pp. 406, ad 700)

Vision restored to a blind

Sayyidun Umn Bin unayf has narrated that a blindcompanion presented before the Beloved Prophet

and said, Please pray to Allah for my relief! The Holy Prophet said, If you want I can pray for you and if you just

be patient, it would be better for you. The companion requested forDu. He was then instructed to make Wu properly and performtwo Rakt al then recite this Du:

*

* During the invocation of this Du, you have to say ( )

instead of saying ( )

. For reasons, please read Fatw Razawiyya,volume 30 and booklet, Tajall-ul-Yaqn, page 156.

(O Allah! I implore You and put up a Wasla (intermediary) and am

heedful of You by means of your Prophet who is the blessed Prophet.

Y Muhammad! I am attentive toward my Rab for my needs to be

satisfied by the Wasla of my Blessed Prophet. O Allah! Accede his

intercession in my favour.)

Sayyidun Umn Bin unayf said, Before Allah ( )I swear! We were having conversation and could not even part thathe ( ) came to us and he looked as if he had never got blind!

(Bar-e-Sharat, vol. 1, pp. 685; Ibn Mja, vol. 2, pp. 156, ad 1385)

Du made invoking Y Raslall was granted!

Dear Islamic brothers! This sacred ad proves the approval to callY Raslall by far because that companion called Y Raslallin a whispering voice. As a matter of fact, this permission was not

specific to that blind companion but after the apparent passing ofthe Holy Prophet till the day of reckoning, itsblessings (Baraka) exist. This Du was then told by the samecompanion Sayyidun Umn Bin unayf to one ofneedy individuals during the time of the Sayyidun Umn BinAffn .

It is stated in abarn: A person was needy and came up to SayyidunUmn Bin unayf . The latter asked the former to offer2 Rakt al after Wu and then make this Du (the same asmentioned earlier) and advised him to mention his need replacing

the last word (jat). The person left and did the same as hewas instructed and his need was satisfied. (Al-Mujam-ul-Kabr, vol. 9,pp. 30, ad 8311 Mulakhkhaan)

of Sayyidun Imm Bukhr has said: Once there wasdrought during the time of Sayyidun Frq Aam . Aperson visited the holy shrine of the Noble Prophet and said, Y Raslall ! Pray for rain as people arestarving to death. The Blessed Prophet appeared inhis dream and said, Convey my Salm to Umar and inform himthat the rain will fall.
