The Account of Jannah (Paradise) . . . Continued
After consuming the drink (Described in the previous issue), the carafes will by themselves go back to where they came from.
There is no waste, dirtiness, feces, urine, saliva,
nasal discharge, ear wax or any kind of dirt on the bodies. After consuming the food and
drinks, even the belch of the inhabitants of Jannah and their sweat will be
perfumed like musk. All the food will be digested. Every inhabitant will have the appetite
of 100 people of the earth. Their tongues will
be perpetually reciting Tasbeeh and Takbeer, intentionally as well as
unintentionally, just as we breathe. There will be at least 1000 servants for every
inhabitant, each servant will have one silver goblet in one hand and a golden goblet in
the other. Each goblet will contain forever, different varieties of food. No matter how
much is eaten the magnificent taste will never lessen but actually become even better.
Each morsel will contain 70 different types of tastes, each one better than the other and
one taste will not obscure or mar the other. The robes will not age nor will their youth
end. The faces of the very first group to enter Paradise, will be as luminous as the full
moon. The faces of the second group will shine like stars. They will all be in absolute
harmony with each other, with no rancor or discord in their hearts against each other. Out
of the Hoors for each inhabitant, at least two of these fair companions will be
such that even if they were to put on 70 clothes, the marrow of their calves will be
visible through their clothes and flesh just as the red wine is visible through a
transparent goblet. This is because Allaah has
given the simile of rubies for them and if a thread is passed through a hole in a ruby, it
will most certainly be seen from the outside. An inhabitant will be able to see his
reflection in the cheeks of these fair companions more clearly than in a mirror. An
ordinary pearl worn by her would be such that it will illuminate the whole of east and
west. If the male companion were to place his hand in between her shoulders, it will be
visible from her chest through her clothes, skin and flesh. If the clothes of Paradise
were to be worn in the world, whoever looks at it would faint, as their eyes will not be
able to stand their dazzle. Every time the male companion goes to his female companion, he
will always find her a virgin. However this will not cause any pain to either. If any male
inhabitant were to spit in an ocean of the world, the entire ocean will be sweetened; and
if a female inhabitant were to spit into 7oceans, they will all become sweeter than honey.
When a male enters Paradise, two Hoors will sing for him at his headrest and feet
in a very melodious voice; their songs will not be the satanic type but very pure with
praises and glory of Allaah They will be such
melodious singers as the creation of Allaah has
never heard such voices. They will sing songs containing verses such as: "We are
eternal, we shall never die; no difficulties will befall us; we are always pleased, never
to be displeased; congratulations to those who will be ours and we theirs". Apart
from hair on their heads, eye brows and eye lashes, there will be no hair any where else
on their bodies they will be hairless. Their eyes will naturally be as if outlined by
collirium. They will all appear to be 30 years in age, never more than that. Even an
ordinary person of Paradise will be given 80 servants and 72 female companions. That
person will be given a crown whose most ordinary pearl will light up the east and the
west. When a muslim inhabitant would desire a child, one would be delivered from instant
pregnancy, a child 30 years of age . . . To be continued InshaAllaah Ta’alaa.
Hadeeth Shareef: Hadrat Ibn
‘Abbaas 
has
narrated that the beloved of Allaah Hadrat Sayyidinaa wa
Maulaanaa Muhammad has said: Who ever recites:
 |
Transliteration: "Jazallaahu
‘Anna Sayyidinaa Muhammad
Maa Huwa Ahluh"
Translation: "O Allaah, bestow upon
Hadrat Muhammad from us rewards that he deserves"
its reward keeps 70 angels busy for 1000 days; ie: they will get exhausted writing the Thawaab for 1000 days.
Tarteeb Shareef vol.4 page122, At Tabraanee, Kunz ul ‘Amaal.
Hadeeth Shareef: Hadrat Anas has narrated that the beloved
of Allaah Hadrat Sayyidinaa wa Maulaanaa Muhammad has said: "Allaah has
created a river of Noor and His Angels of Noor traverse around it on the hill with
utensils of Noor doing the Tasbeeh:

Transliteration: "Subhaana Dzil Mulki wal Malakoot. Subhaana Dzil ‘Izzati wal Jabaroot. Subhaanal Hayyil ladzee laa Yamoot. Subboohun Quddoosun Rabbul Malaaikati war Rooh".
Translation: "Pure and Glorified is the Being (Owner) of His Kingdom and all His dominion. Pure and Glorified is the Being of Honor and Majesty. Pure and Glorified is the Being Who is Perfectly alive without death. The most Holy, the most Sacred, the Lord of the Angels and Jibraeel ‘Alaihis Salaam".
The person who recites (this Tasbeeh) daily or once
every month or once a year or once in his lifetime, Allaah forgives all his past and future sins even though they may
be like the foam of the sea or like the sand in a vast field, even though he may be guilty
of the crime of running away from a Jihaad. Dailamee, Kunz ul ‘Amaal, Kitaab ul
‘Amal bis Sunnah Al Ma’roof Tarteeb Shareef vol. 4 page 118-119.
SABEEL AR RASHAAD (THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS)
By: Hadrat Shaikh Abu Anees Muhammad Barkat ‘Ali QaddasAllaahu Ta’alaa Sirruhul ‘Azeez
Extract from "Makshoofaat Manaazil Ehsaan" (Manifestations of the Stages of Excellence in worship) Vol. 4
Whenever the human being starts a virtuous deed, at the same time, the Shaitaan tries with all his cunning to stop it; and to the best of his ability, prevents it from being completed; stops it on its way. May be one fortunate person in a hundred thousand defeats him to reach his goal. Not every human being can understand his deception.
Whenever a blessed way opens to irrigate the waterless and
grassless valley of the heart, he (Shaitaan) immediately pursues and does not rest
till he closes that way; whispers various kinds evil temptations and suggestions, till he
succeeds in misleading. Till the slave (of Allaah )
plans a course of action for a goal of Tazkiatun Nafs, Shaitaan also does not care.
However, when man starts to travel upon the planned course of action, he starts to devise
whatever means he can put into action to stop him from reaching his goal, and does put
them into action. In the arena of Faqr (To hoard nothing for tomorrow), the Shaitaan
fought the Faqeer with all his might; to defeat him he entered (The arena)
armed with all his weapons. Attacked at every step. As long as he (The Faqeer) was
traveling towards his goal, he (The Faqeer) did not back away. He defeated the
famous and well known adversary. Whoever opposed his Nafs ul Ammaaraa (The ego) and
did not allow any device of the Shaitaan to work and defeated his every attack,
succeeded; received fulfillment of his wish from Allaah and Allaah kept
alive the stories of this victorious Jihaad on the tongues of His pious people.
Ever since this arena of the world came into existence, from that time to now, only a few brave men have defeated the Shaitaan in this path.
Every pious deed which has continuity, stops the attack of the Shaitaan completely.
Among the weapons of the Shaitaan, the most destructive is to abolish the ‘Amal (deed) of the Saalik (Devotee).
As long as the deed is established, from its Barakah
(Blessing), no attack of the Shaitaan is effective. The way in which a pious deed
saves its performer from the tortures of the grave, in the same way it protects him from
the attacks of the Shaitaan and the constancy of the deed is most certainly from
the Grace of Allaah . Whoever Allaah becomes pleased with, He grants him the Taufeeq of
performing pious deeds. From among the millions of muslims who inhabit this earth, only a
few hundred are people of destination (Who achieve goals).
In the path of mysticism(Immediate consciousness of the
ultimate Reality of Allaah ) one order is
one destination. The person of destination is the one who once having resolved upon an
undertaking, never abandons it in his life time. As long as he has a breath left within
him, he remains firm at his station. Wherever he takes his stand, he never withdraws from
there, nor does he accept defeat. When the devotee climbs upon the vehicle of enthusiasm
and gets going towards his destination, no failure can make him fail, till he succeeds.
‘Ilm (Knowledge) is NOT a destination, ‘Amal is. Speech is not the need of the hour, a model is. The foundation of Sulook (Path of the Devotee) is ‘Amal , not merely knowledge.
Now you must ask your heart : Am I a person of destination. If not, why not ?
Till one starts traveling towards his destination, his knowledge is of no use to him at all. He becomes an easy victim of the Shaitaan, who considers him as his toy and plays all kinds of games with him.
SOME PRACTICAL MODELS OF GOALS:
If a promise
is made with some one, it must be fulfilled. Never break a promise. This is a goal; if one
embarks upon it, from the Barakah of this one deed, he will be fully successful.
Speaking the truth
is a goal. If some one whenever he speaks, speaks the truth and if he never lies, and if
he becomes steadfast upon this, with the Barakah of this one ‘Amal, all
other essential blessings will be received.
Abandoning Gheebah
(Back biting) is a goal. If one were never to back bite against any one and keep
one’s tongue always clean, with the blessing of this one accomplishment, he will
become well liked every where and no one will back bite against him; no one will have the
courage to back bite against him. Any one who himself does not back bite against any one,
no one will back bite against him; people back bite against the one who does back biting
himself. Today we are all busy back biting against each other; no one is safe from it. Try
to abandon this and you will see that no one will back bite against you.
Similarly,
desisting from carrying tales is a goal. The one who does not carry tales, no one
carries tales about him. He also does not listen to tales himself. If some one tells him
tales about some one, he stops them by saying: The RasoolAllaah has said that the carrier of tales will not go to Jannah, so
do not do this; I will also not listen to it. If you deal with a few tale carriers in this
manner, then no one will carry tales to you. This is your best Tableegh. There is
even a more effective cure for this. Tell the carrier of the tale: let us go to the person
about whom you are talking to me. Whatever you wish to say, say it in his presence. Most
certainly he will never be able to do this.
To abandon
jealousy is a goal. Jealousy is fully manifest in nearly every one, hidden in case of
some and apparent in case of others and both in case of some. If jealousy is aroused in
your heart about some one, think in this manner: Jealousy destroys good deeds just as fire
burns dry wood; who can be more ignorant than the one who would destroy his hard earned
good deeds with his own hands and not gaining anything from it either? A person who spends
a whole day earning and then throws it in the river in the evening, what has he gained
from his earnings? If someone else had spoilt it, one would not grieve as much as when one
destroys one’s own earnings himself. Good deeds are the only gains of our entire life
and the best and valuable possession and we are for no reason, burning them away. If
someone becomes jealous of you, leave him to Allaah
and he will not be able to harm you in any way.
Modesty is a goal.
This is Islaam’s best attribute. May Allaah with His favor and grace clothe us with such a cloak of Hayaa
(modesty) that we may never be able to commit any shameful deed. Where Hayaa is
Islaam’s best attribute, it is also the most difficult. The net of
shamelessness has spread everywhere, no one is free from it. Neither the teacher, the
pupil, the Peer (Saint), the proselyte, the devotee, the Darwaish (Mendicant)
nor the Soofee; except the one and only the one who has received Hayaa from You as
a gift. Yaa Hayyu Yaa Qayyoom.
Hayaa is connected to every part of the body. The truth is that some shamelessness or the other is present in everyone at some part or the other. To be continued InshaAllaah Ta’alaa.
Sunnah and Aadaab of drinking water . . . Continued
Hadeeth Shareef: Hadrat Aboo
Hurairah has
narrated that the beloved of Allaah Hadrat Sayyidinaa wa
Maulaanaa Muhammad has commanded us to cover our utensils,
capping the water mashk (Leather canteen) and inverting the utensils. Ibn Maajah. Note:
Utensils will be inverted when they cannot be covered, especially during the night because
there is one night every year in which evil spirits descend and enter the utensil which is
open. It is mentioned in a Hadeeth Shareef that if there is no cover available then Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem be
recited and a stick or dried straw kept over the opening.
Hadrat ‘Aaishah Siddeeqah 
used to cover 3 kinds of utensils of the Rasoolallaah ; one was for the wudoo, one was for the miswaak, one was for
drinking. Ibn Maajah
Hadeeth Shareef: Hadrat Jaabir bin
‘Abdullaah has
narrated that when Hadrat Aboo Humaid brought a bowl of milk from Naqee’, the Rasoolallaah told him: "Why did you not bring it covered? Even though
with a stick, you should have covered it". Bukhaaree
Hadrat Aboo Hurairah has said the Rasoolallaah prohibited drinking from canteens or similar storage vessels with
the mouth touching the openings. Bukhaaree.
Hadrat Ibn ‘Abbaas has said that the Rasoolallaah has prohibited from blowing and breathing inside a (drinking)
vessel. Tirmidzee
Hadrat Aboo Sa’eed Khudree has said that the
Rasoolallaah has prohibited blowing on drinks. Someone
humbly mentioned: "Yaa Rasoolallaah if I see any straws
in the vessel what should I do"? The Rasoolallaah said
"spill them down". The person said "I am not satisfied with one breath
(While drinking)". The Rasoolallaah replied: "Then
remove the vessel away from your mouth and take your breath". Tirmidzee
Hadeeth Shareef: Hadrat Hudzaifah has said that the
Rasoolallaah prohibited us from wearing clothes of silk and
brocade and eating out of utensils of gold and silver and said: "These(Prohibited
things) are for the Kuffaar in the dunyaa and for you in the Aakhirah".
Hadeeth Shareef: Ummul Mumineen Hadrat
Salamah has narrated that the beloved of Allaah Hadrat Sayyidinaa wa Maulaanaa Muhammad has said "The one who drinks in a silver vessel, puts the
fire of Hell in his stomach ".
Hadeeth Shareef: Hadrat Ibn
‘Umar has
said that the Rasoolallaah had prohibited us from drinking
water lying on our stomach and said: "Do not put your mouth in a utensil as the dog
puts its mouth and do not drink with palm of one hand as the ones who do so and upon whom
Allaah wrath descends ; and do not drink water from the
vessel which has remained open (Uncovered) during the night. If it (The vessel) is
covered, then there is no harm; and the person who drinks with the palms of (Both) his
hands out of humility and modesty although there are vessels available, Allaah will give him one good deed for his every finger as this is
the vessel of Hadrat ‘Eesaa 
who threw away his cup and
said: ‘Alas, this is also the possession of the Dunyaa’ " Ibn Maajah.

Injunctions Concerning Nifaas and Menstrual Bleeding . . . Continued
8. If a woman's usual duration of the menses is five days, but her bleeding ceases after four days, she may have purification bath and perform the prayers. The husband, however, should not have sexual intercourse with her till she has completed her usual five days period, lest she may again start bleeding.
9. If a woman has continuous bleeding for ten days and ten nights, and the bleeding has ceased, the husband may have sexual relations with her even before the purification bath; similarly, if she has completed her usual period of (say) six days, the husband may have sexual relations with her even before the purification bath; but if the bleeding has ceased before the completion of the usual period, sexual relations with her are forbidden even if she has taken the purification bath.
10; If the bleeding of a woman whose usual period is six days, does not cease after six days, she should not take purification bath but should wait till the cessation of bleeding. Then if the bleeding stops after 10 days or before 10 days, she should count the whole period as menstrual, but if the bleeding continues even after ten days, her actual period will be the usual six days and the rest will be regarded as Istihadah.
11. A woman whose bleeding ceased in the day time during Ramadaan, should behave as if fasting during the rest of the day like others and should observe this abandoned fast later as well.
12. A woman, who slept at night in the state of purity with a cloth pad placed on her private part and finds a blood spot on the pad in the morning will count her period from the time she sees the spot.
ESSENTIAL ADVICE FROM Hadrat Shaikh Abu Anees Muhammad Barkat ‘Ali, QaddasAllaahu Sirruhul ‘Azeez.
Abstinence (Tark) . . . Continued
If we were cleansed (Of the accursed Duniyaa), volumes of ‘Ilm (Knowledge) and wisdom, adoration and weeping from the tenderness of heart, would have opened up.
Till such time as one does not abandon the accursed and wretched (Duniyaa), how could one become enlightened from the Noor of the Quraan ul ‘Azeem and the purified Sunnah?
Acceptance of 4 statements of the beloved of my soul is the station of the hope of perfection of Eemaan:
| Tarke Kazb |
(Abstinence from lying) |
| Tarke Gheebah |
(Abstinence from back biting) |
| Tarke Nameemah |
(Abstinence from slandering) |
| Tarke Hasad |
(Abstinence from jealousy) |
Till such time as Gheebah is abandoned, no one can receive any blessings. The back biter is a carrion eater. The hidden (Baatin) of the created body is cleansed not by water, but from abstinence; and this abstinence is not of the tongue and of the speech. Allaah Allaah, this (war of abstinence) has buckled the knees of and made many a brave man surrender (In defeat).
Listen with attention. Listen with your ears open: It is only with the enrichment of abstinence that stations of dignity are created; not on the basis of palaces and orchards and groves.
Put into practice the knowledge you possess.
Abstain from the accursed and the wretched (Duniyaa).
There is no better methodology than this method.
Old man! Whether any one believes it or not, all the stations of Faqr (Asceticism) are subservient only to abstinence. Although you may not study anything, do nothing, this (abstinence) is enough.
Note: From the invisible dust under the feet
of my Shaikh, Hadrat Abu Anees Muhammad Barkat ‘Ali, QaddasAllaahu Ta’alaa
Sirruhul ‘Azeez. The established facts about his life of Faqr are that for
more than 50 years he went beyond the boundaries of perfection of abstinence and
asceticism. He lived every second as a model of what he wrote and preached. Yaa
Hayyu Yaa Qayyoom. He gave up everything the beloved of his soul Hadrat
Sayyidinaa wa Maulaanaa Muhammad gave up. For more than
50 years of his honorable life, he fully and totally fulfilled the most difficult Sunnat
ul Maukkidah (Compulsory Sunnah) of the Rasoolallaah , which is to have no provision left with him after Maghrib,
for the next day. He gave everything away to the poor and the needy. Centuries have
gone by and this world has not seen a devotee absorb and immerse himself so completely,
totally and perfectly into the Sunnah of our master Hadrat Sayyidinaa wa
Maulaanaa Muhammad , as our Shaikh,
Rahmatullaah ‘Alaih. May Allaah bestow
upon him millions of stations every second of every day, of closeness to Himself and may
we be given, through his Waseelah a millionth of what he received. Aameen.
Aameen again and again.
| IBLEES NAAMAH (RECORD OF THE DIALOGUE OF SAYYIDINAA
WA MAULAANAA MUHAMMAD WITH IBLEES) |
 |
By Hadrat Shaikh Abu Anees Muhammad Barkat ‘Ali, QaddasAllaahu Ta’alaa Sirruhul ‘Azeez
Extracts from "Makshoofaat Manaazil Ehsaan" (Manifestations of the Stages of Excellence in worship) vol. 4
SHAITAAN is the open enemy of the path
of Allaah , always intermixed with every human being as blood within the blood vessels of
the body. Whenever the slave plans to implement any command of Allaah he becomes alert and
till he stops the human being from doing his work, continues his struggle with all his
cunning and deceptiveness. He has 3 jobs:
| 1.To stop the slaves from doing good deeds. |
| 2.Tempt him towards evil and shameless deeds. And |
| 3.Keep the heart (Of the slave) occupied with
useless thoughts and make him neglectful of the Dzikr of Allaah |
| There are 2 very powerful forces active in every work of every slave:- |
| Guidance
from Allaah Ar Rahmaan. |
| (Temptation)
of the Shaitaan towards deviation from the right path. |
Every time the slave after accepting the command of Allaah
,resolves
to do any pious deed, the Shaitaan resolves to stop him and till he stops him, he
continues with his cunning struggle, producing such ulterior interpretations in support of
himself that the intelligence of the human being is amazed.
When the poor slave out of fear of a warning (Of punishment) decides to stay away from an evil, he persuades him towards evil, produces the means for the evil and removes all obstacles from the (evil) way; and till he succeeds with his intention, never stops his pursuit.
Have you ever pondered upon the fact that before the
clod of the shape of Aadam had even been kneaded, Iblees
was the teacher of the angels created of light? He has prostrated at every conceivable
patch. How can any man without the grace, help and Taufeeq of Allaah defeat him in any
arena? He is knower of the secrets of every child of Aadam ,
no condition of anyone is hidden from him. He has seen the times of 124,000 Prophets ‘Alaihimus
Salaam of Allaah . . . He has defeated many a great man in many arenas and
has made many a great man dance on his palm; carried them up the skies and dropped them on
the earth and laughed at his own victory. It is only an exceptional son of his mother that
has won. The Shaitaan has at will, made any one he wanted, dance to his tune. The
brave is the one who defeats the Shaitaan, make him fall on his face, brand his
face with a stigma of infamy and drag him into the arena. We salute such a brave person
with the greatest respect. Till such time as the devotee on the path of Allaah does not have the
knowledge of the cunning and deceptive tricks of Shaitaan who blocks the path of Allaah
, he
will not be able to travel the path of Allaah with safety; he will be surrounded
by deceit and dangers.
This Iblees Naamah is the story of Shaitaan
from his own tongue and it is authentic. For every devotee traveling the path of Allaah
it is
as essential to have the knowledge of these matters as it is for a general to know the
number of soldiers in the army of his enemy, their arms, ammunition, equipment and their
movement and tactics.
There are innumerable weapons of the Shaitaan. The biggest one is to nullify the (Good) deeds of the devotee.
He is busy day and night in conspiring to find ways and means to nullify the (Good) deeds and as long as the deed remains established, it remains safe from every attack of the Shaitaan.
‘Aml (Good deed) is a strong fortress which the Shaitaan can never enter.
‘Aml is a mountain against which no Shaitaan can collide; whoever collides with it will be annihilated.
No Shaitaan can withstand the majesty of any
good deed. The majesty of the good deed burns out the Shiaateen. May Allaah
Ta’alaa bestow upon us the Taufeeq ( Divine help) to perform good deeds
according to the Sunnah (Of his beloved ) Aameen;
a Taufeeq which will remain established, continue and perpetuate till the Qiyaamah.
Aameen. Such a Taufeeq which no one can snatch away and cannot be snatched
away.
Yaa Hayyu Yaa Qayyoom bi Rahmatika Astaghees . . . Yaa Hayyu Yaa Qayyoom . . . Laa ilaaha illaa anta wa laa ilaaha ghairuka . . . Yaa Hayyu Yaa Qayyoom . . . Fataqqabal . . . Aameen

 AL-MU'MIN
|
He is the Illuminator of the light of faith in hearts.
He is the Comforter, the Protector of the ones who
take refuge in Him. Faith is the security that protects one from all dangers; therefore it
is the greatest gift of Allaah . The absence of fear in the heart of the believer is commensurate with the
degree of his faith.
Men have enemies who continuously try to harm them,
to disturb their peace, to lead them astray. The worst of those enemies are their own egos
and the accursed Devil. The tyrants, the maligners, the enviers, come after them. When one
says "I take refuge in Allaah ," one takes refuge in the
attribute of al-Mu'min. He does not refuse anyone who takes refuge in Him. But to have
faith in al-Mu'min, one has to have faith first. In Islam there are three degrees of
faith.
1} Confirmation of one's faith by one's words so that
others hear that you believe in Allaah , in His Prophet and in the truth of all that he says and does.
2} Confirmation by one's acts; doing what is lawful, and abstaining from what is unlawful.
3} Confirmation by the heart; the firm belief, without any
conditions or doubts, in the truth of the Prophet's traditions.
What is essential is faith in the heart. If that
leaves, may Allaah protect us, one becomes of the non-believers. The one who confirms his faith with
his words while his heart is not with Allaah is a liar. The one who goes as far
as acting as if he believed is a hypocrite. If he is a believer at heart, and for some
reason cannot declare it or can not act upon his faith, he is still a believer.
Watch your faith and your actions as a believer. This is the reflection of al-Mu'min. Be the dependable one in whom others find security. Be the one who does not deny help to those who take refuge in Him, and you will have a taste of al-Mu'min, the Most Secure.
'Abd al-Mu'min is he who has been given
refuge by Allaah from all disasters, pain and punishment. The property, honor and life of others
is safe with and saved by the servant in whom the name al Mu'min is manifested.

AL MUBALLIGH
Since the time when the universe became manifest present at the place of its appearance from concealment, Allaah Jalshaanuhoo has selected only the human being as His Khaleefah (Vicegerent) to elevate the banner of His Lordship and Sovereignty; and then included the responsibility of Da’wah and Tableegh of Deen ul Islaam among the duties of those sacred persons whom we call Anbiyaa ‘Alaihimus Salaam (The honorable Prophets, may Allaah Ta’alaa’s peace be upon them all). About such supernatural beings He has mentioned in the Quraan ul Hakeem that no sin can ever be committed by them and that it is their practices that make them best models for the people of the world and a conclusive argument for them. Yaa Hayyu Yaa Qayyoom.
Let it be clearly understood, that the Da’wah and
Tableegh of Allaah Ta’alaa’s Deen ul Islaam is the work of the
chosen and elite slaves of Allaah Tabaarak wa Ta’alaa, ‘Azza wa Jal, Dzul
Jalaali wal Ikraam; not children’s play. Our Rasool, the most beautiful,
the most perfect, the most pious and the most pure, is
the last Prophet and we the last Ummah. Till the Day of Judgment, no other Prophet will
come; the entire responsibility of the Da’wah and Tableegh of Deen
ul Islaam is now obligatory upon us; and we are the ones who have to perform this
obligation. Yaa Hayyu Yaa Qayyoom. Maa ShaAllaah Laa Quwwata Illaa Billaah.
Hadeeth Shareef: Hadrat
‘Abdullaah bin ‘Umrau narrates that the beloved of Allaah Hadrat Sayyidinaa wa Maulaanaa
Muhammad has said: "Convey from me even though one
Aayah and the stories you hear from Banoo Israaeel recite them to the people, there is no
sin in this; and the person who knowingly attribute a lie towards me, must look for his
abode in the Hell Fire". Bukhaaree.
Hadeeth Shareef: Hadrat Ibn
‘Abbaas narrates
that the beloved of Allaah Hadrat Sayyidinaa wa Maulaanaa Muhammad has said:
"Oh Allaah have mercy upon our successors". We respectfully said: "O
Rasoolallaah ,
who are the people who are your successors"? He replied
"(My successors) are those people who will come after me. They will narrate my
Ahaadeeth and teach people about it". Tabraanee.
Hadeeth Shareef: Hadrat Zaid bin
Thaabit has said:
"I have heard the beloved of Allaah Hadrat Sayyidinaa wa Maulaanaa Muhammad
say: ‘May Allaah keep the person fresh and mellow who
will hear a Hadeeth from us and pass it on to another. (It is possible) the latter has a
better understanding than the former. And three people are Faqeehah (Having knowledge of
Fiqh), about whom the heart of a Mumin does not suspect breach of trust: (Who have)
Sincerity for (Pleasure of) Allaah in their deeds and to advise the Ruler and to consider Jamaa’ah compulsory;
because their Da’wah circumscribes all; and Allaah separates those from their work whose
Niyyah (Intention) is to acquire the Duniyaa and create poverty for him and he can obtain
only that which is destined for him; and the one whose Niyyah is to obtain the Aakhirah,
then Allaah will
bring his work together and fill his heart and Niyyah with richness and the world will
come to him debased' ". At Targheeb watTaraaheeb. Narrator Ibn Habaan Rahmatullaah
‘Alaih
Hadeeth Shareef: Hadrat Anas has narrated that the beloved
of Allaah Hadrat
Sayyidinaa wa Maulaanaa Muhammad has said: "The one who
leads (Others to) the way to good deeds is like the one who himself performs good deeds
and Allaah holds
dear redressing of those who are struck with misfortune. At Targheeb wat Taraaheeb
Hadeeth Shareef: Hadrat Ibn
‘Abbaas has
narrated that the Rasoolallaah said: "The person who
does not respect the elder and does not show mercy towards the younger and does not enjoin
good and does not prevent evil, is not on my way. Ahmad, Tirmidzee, Ibn Habaan At Targheeb

wa Maulaanaa Muhammad
