BACK TO BASICS

Dear readers. Acceptance of good deeds by Almighty Allah depends upon 2 basic factors. The first one is that the person should hold correct Islamic beliefs in addition to bearing witness that there is no God worthy of worship but Allah and that Prophet Muhammad the Beloved of Allah is His Servant and Messenger. The second factor is that only those deeds are considered to be good which are defined as good by Allah Himself in the Holy Quran and by His Beloved Muhammad . It is therefore crucial that all Muslims are well groomed in the knowledge of correct Islamic beliefs and hold these beliefs firmly in their hearts. This will protect us from being misled by the various sects prevalent in the USA and other countries in the world on the one hand and allow us to receive the Eternal blessings of acceptance of our Deeds by Almighty Allah, on the other hand.

Beliefs Concerning The Essence and Attributes of Allah, Jalla Jalaalahu.

VIRTUES OF SALAATUNNABI (Durood)

My dearest and beloved readers under this heading you were introduced to an 'Ibaadah (worship) which is a source of immense pleasure to our Lord, The Most Exalted Creator. This 'Ibaadah is the recitation of Salaatunnbi (Durood) upon His Beloved Hadrat Muhammad . This, we are informed by the One who loves Hadrat Muhammad is His occupation and the occupation of His honorable Angels. We have been commanded by Him in Whose Power our life and death is to occupy ourselves also with this 'Ibaadah. More virtues of this 'Ibaadah are enumerated for your benefit:~
Hadrat Abu Hurairah narrates that the Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad has said "Do not turn your homes into graveyards and do not celebrate upon my grave. However do send your Durood upon me, as your Durood reaches me (from) wherever you are". (Sunan Abu Dawood, Masnad Imaam Ahmad Hanbal.)
Hadrat Umar Bin Khattaab has narrated "Till such time as you send Durood upon your Nabee Kareem , your supplication (Dua) will be suspended between the heavens and the earth. It will not ascend even a little". (Hadrat Abu Hurairah , Hadrat Abu Sa'eed Khudree in Jaam'iat Tirmidhi collection)

Hadrat Abdur Rahmaan Bin 'Auf , has narrated "that the Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad came out and I followed him . He then entered a date palm grove and performed a prolonged Sajdah (Prostration) till I became afraid that maybe Allah has given him death. I was watching when he suddenly raised his blessed head and said "Abdur Rahmaan, what is the matter with you?" I explained my condition. He said: Jibreel came and told me "May I not give you the good news that Allah 'Azza Wa Jal proclaims to you that whoever recites Durood Shareef upon you, I say Durood upon him and whoever presents his Salaam (peace) to you I send My peace to him. (Masnad Imaam Ahmad Hanbal)
Hadrat Abdullah Bin Umrau narrates that the one who sends one Durood upon the Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad , Allah and His honorable Angels send Durood 70,000 times upon that person. (Masnad Imaam Ahmad Hanbal)
Hadrat Abdullah narrates that the Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad said: "Indeed Angels of Allah roam around the earth and convey the Salaam (peace) which my ummah send to me.
(Sunan Nisaai and Sunan Daarami)

Warning
Hadrat Abu Hurairah narrates that the Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad has said: "That person's nose may become dirty (by being rubbed on the ground) who does not send Durood upon me when my name is mentioned and may that person's nose become dirty in whose life Ramadaanul Mubaarak arrives and leaves before he is forgiven and may that person's nose become dirty in whose life his parents become old and (these parents) did not send him to Paradise. Hadrat Abdur Rahman one of the narrators said that I think he said one of the parents becomes old. (At Tirmidhi)

Hadrat Abee Bin Ka'ale , narrates that it was the blessed habit of the Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad that he used to wake up when 2/3 of the night passed away for his Salah and he used to say "O people, do the dhikr of Allah, remember Allah, the moment of trembling has arrived and soon after this is the moment which will raise your hair. Death has arrived with its possessions, (with death will commence difficulties of the grave and the Awful happenings of the Day of Judgement). Hadrat Abee Bin Ka'ale , submitted respectfully "O Rasoolallah , I recite Durood upon you in abundance. Please inform me how much time (out of my occupation of other practices ) such as Dhikr, Dua etc. should I fix for myself for reciting Durood upon you ?" The Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad said: "As much as you want to". I submitted respectfully "(should I fix) ¼? He said "As much as you want to. If you increase it , it will be better for you". I submitted respectfully "(should I fix) ½? He said "As much as you want to". If you increase it , it will be better for you". I submitted respectfully "(should I fix) 2/3? He said "As much as you want to". If you increase it , it will be better for you". I submitted respectfully "should I spend all of my time (Which is now occupied in dhikr, dua, etc.) (for reciting Durood upon you)?" He said "This is enough for you and (this) will fulfill all your requirements of the Deen and Dunya and your sins will be removed from you". This Hadeeth is Hasan. (At Tirmidhi)

My beloved Muslims, jewels of my eyes, what else can I add? The Holy Companions ( may Allah be pleased with them all), knew and understood the full magnificence of this great 'Ibaadah and spent their time accordingly. May Allah give us all the Taufeeq (put it in our hearts) to endear ourselves to the Lord of Mercy and His Beloved Hadrat Muhammad by following their footsteps and the footsteps of His Honorable Aulia. Ameen. Ameen. again.

WARNING WARNING WARNING

The Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad said: "During my Ascension (Mi'raaj), in the seventh Heaven, I heard thunder and lightning over my head, and I saw people with their stomachs as large as houses between their hands; and inside their stomachs, snakes and scorpions were visible from the outside. I then asked who are these, Jibreel? and he replied 'The consumers of interest'. (Ahmad)

Abu Bakr Siddeeq said "The one who takes and the one who gives interest (Riba) will go to the Fire"

My beloved muslims will you not take heed now, before it is to late?

BEWARE: Many pension Programs including 401K, IRA, IRA/SEP, and other programs, Profit Sharing Programs are based upon Riba (interest). Have your pious nose up in the air and whenever, wherever you get a whiff of riba, turn away or if you are already involved GET OUT OF IT. Whatever the consequences here of getting out of it will be better than Hell Fire!
May Allah give us His Fear. Ameen

VIRTUES OF SUNNAH - - - Virtues of Siwaak (using miswaak)

Beloved readers we hope and pray to Allah that the virtues of the above Sunnah of the Beloved of Allah Hadrat Muhammad described in our previous issue hit home. There is a Hadeeth which is to the effect that during those times when Muslims abandon in general, the Sunnah of the Beloved of my soul Hadrat Muhammad , anyone who revives even one of his Sunnah would receive Thawaab (rewards) of 100 martyrs. Those of the jewels of my eyes who have not started using miswaak yet I hope will consider the above Hadeeth and hasten towards this simple act which will endear you to the Lord of The Universe and His Beloved Hadrat Muhammad .
Some more Ahadeeth are enumerated for your pleasure and consideration.
The Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad has said: " Were it not for putting my Ummah to distress, I would have ordered them to use miswaak at every Salaat" (before wudu)
(Saheeh Bukhari, Saheeh Muslim)
The Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad has said: "Jibreel never came to me without asking me to use miswaak, with the result that I have been afraid of hurting the front of my mouth."

Hadrat Ibn Abbas narrates that there are 10 characteristics of miswaak. Its use removes yellowness of the teeth, sharpens the eyesight, strengthens the gums, cleanses the mouth, pleases the angels, Allah is pleased, it is the Itteba' following) of the Sunnah, increases the Thawaab of Salaat, produces a healthy body. (Daaraqutni)
Hadrat 'Allaamah Shurumbulaani (May Allah's Mercy be upon him) in his book "Muraaqil Falaah Shareef" writes that those virtues of Siwaak that the Honorable Imaams quoted from Hadrat 'Ali (Karramallaahu Wajhul Kareem), Hadrat 'Abdullah Bin Abbas and Hadrat Ataa are as follows :~
1. Make using miswaak compulsory for yourself and do not neglect it. Be constant in its use because in it is the Pleasure of Allah .
2. Its use increases the Thawaab of Salaat 99 to 400 times more.
3. Constancy in its use makes your provision available to you easily and provides blessings upon it.
4. Removes phlegm

6. Keeps the digestive system healthy

7. Gives a person the gift of eloquence

8. Gives energy to the body

9. It sharpens the memory and intelligence

VIRTUES OF EVERYDAY D'UAS

When You Sight The New Moon

Hadrat Ibn Umar narrates that when the Beloved of Allah Hadrat Muhammad sighted the moon of the first night he used to say:


Translation: Allah is the Greatest. Dearest Allah, raise this moon with tranquillity over us and with faith, and with peace and with Islam among us and put it in our hearts to perform deeds which You love and are pleased with. Our Lord and your Lord (O moon) is Allah. (Sunan Darami)

When You Find Lailatul Qadr
Hadrat Aayeshah Siddeeqah narrates that the Beloved of Allah Hadrat Muhammad when he found the Lailatul Qadr, used to say:

Translation: O Allah You are forgiving and You love forgiving please forgive me.
(Tirmidhi, Nisaai, Ibn Maajah, Tarteeb Shareef Pg. 496)

Explanation: There is a night in Ramadaanul Mubarak which is full of blessings and to worship during that night is better than worship of 1,000 months. This is the Lailatul Qadr (The Night of Power). The one who missed the worship indeed lost many blessings. In Islamic Shariah, we are informed that this blessed night can be found during the odd nights of the last 10 days of the month of Ramadaanul Mubaarak. It is related in Bukhaari Shareef that this great night can be found on the 21st or 23rd or 25th or 27th or the 29th night of every Ramadaanul Mubaarak. One of the important signs of this night is that the sunlight of the next day turns pale. On this night Hadrat Jibreel Ameen descends from the Heavens and accompanying him is a chosen Jama'ah of angels who make Dua for the forgiveness for those muslims who are busy worshipping their Lord. Allah accepts their D'ua and because of blessings of the worship of this night the future sins of the worshippers are also forgiven by the Lord of Mercy.

SOME ESSENTIAL ADVICE from - - -
Hadrat Shaikh Abu Anees Muhammad Barkat Ali Mudda Zilluhu


Too many of us have no interest in Islam.

Too many of those who have some interest in Islam too often try to fit Islam into their lives.

Only those Inshaallah Ta'la will achieve the peace, harmony, and tranquillity here and in Paradise, as promised by Allah Rabbul Izzah, who work hard to fit all of themselves into all of Islam.

VIRTUES OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF FIQH AND SHARIAH

We shall continue by the Grace of Almighty Allah to provide the beautiful extracts from the great work "Manifestations Of The Stages Of Excellence In Worship" by our beloved, esteemed and highly revered Hadrat Shaikh Abu Anees Muhammad Barkat Ali Muddazilluhu about the importance of getting educated in the matters of Fiqh and Shariah and the necessity to understandingly follow any one of the four great Imaams of all times.
"The Beloved of Allah Hadrat Muhammad has said: "From the people of all times, the people of my time are better. Thereafter the ones after them and then the ones after them". In this Hadeeth Shareef, 3 periods are mentioned. Scholars have explained that the first period is that of the Beloved of Allah Hadrat Muhammad and all his holy companions (May Allah be pleased with then all) lasting from the time of establishment of the Messengerhood of Hadrat Muhammad to 110 Hijrah. The second period is from 110 Hijrah to 170 Hijrah. This is the period of the Tabi'een {those who saw and followed the Sahabah (Holy Companions - May Allah be pleased with them all)}. The third period is the one after 170 Hijrah and called the period of Taba' Tabi'een (Those who saw and followed the Tabi'een). This period ends with the Taba' Tabi'een. All the laws of the Shar'iah of the Deenul Islam that were researched, compiled, explained and published were the result of the efforts of our beloved elders of these three periods. These works and the pious Deeds of the Imaams of these three periods are the Hujjah (final arguments) of Islam, the way of life chosen by Almighty Allah".


Note: from this humble servant of Allah and the humble pupil of Shaikh Hadrat Abu Anees Muhammad Barkat Ali Mudda Zilluhu :~ Anyone who disagrees with the above, is not paying attention to the above quoted Hadeeth of the Beloved of Allah Hadrat Muhammad . One other point to remember is that the Ulama and Imams of the third periods learned their knowledge of Quran, Hadeeth and Shar'iah from the Tabi'een and the Tabai'een (who were of the second period) learned this knowledge directly from the Sahabah (May Allah be pleased with them all) who learned everything about Islam from the Beloved of Allah and His Messenger Hadrat Muhammad , who learned all directly from Allah The Lord of The universe. For anyone now, 1417 years later on, to claim that they are going to discover from their research anything new to add to or subtract from the knowledge inherited by us from the BEST THREE PERIODS OF ALL TIMES (as described by the Beloved of Allah Hadrat Muhammad ) must seriously examine their motives and seek the protection of Allah . As for Ijtehad (striving to study problems and seeking a solution from the original sources of Shariah) it is necessary at all times to find solutions to modern problems in the light of already established laws of the Shar'iah. However to do this one has to be a Mujtahid (Please refer to our issue Vol. 1 No. 1 - Vol. 1 No. 2 - Vol. 1 No. 3) The conclusion is simple. It is not necessary to reinvent the wheel to fix a flat tire. End of Note.

"After the 3rd period, there have been many Imaams and Fuqaha. However they all distinctly followed the footsteps of their elders of the first 3 periods and trusting them completely considered following them necessary for their own guidance". In the next issue Inshaallah Ta'la, we shall continue this translation which covers briefly all the 3 periods with regard to evolving the Fiqh Al Islam:

VIRTUES OF PURIFICATION (Tazkiatun Nafs) continued

My dear readers I hope you have Inshaallah Ta'la clearly understood that Allah has established in a manner only The Almighty can establish that only those succeed in both the worlds who purify their "selves". No one except the Messengers and Prophets of Allah (May Allah Ta'la's peace be upon the all) is exempt from this. The Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad has mentioned in a Hadeeth to the effect that all the children of Adam commit sins, no one is pure.

We shall by the grace of Almighty Allah, try to deal with sub topics such as what are the impurities (contaminants), where they are located and how can they be cleaned or healed.
For the purpose of clarity, the important point has to be made right at the beginning that it is the will of Allah that there is no such thing as "Do it yourself" purification. Books and writings such as the present one can only provide introduction to and concise concepts about the subject matter. Evidence from the Quran and Sunnah can be produced for substantiation. However just like serious diseases such as Pneumonia, Tuberculosis etc. cannot be cured by reading books on medicine but only by handing oneself over to a competent physician, similarly fatal spiritual diseases which are more serious, cannot be healed by reading books. One must hand oneself over to a competent Shaikh who himself is free of such contamination and diseases. It is only by being in his presence, company, holding his hand and being guided by him that one can purify and attain success as defined in the Holy Quran. This aspect of the subject Inshaallah Ta'la will be discussed in full at an appropriate stage in our future issues with overwhelming evidence from the Quranul Majeed and the blessed practices (Sunnah) of the Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad . For now we shall Inshaallah Ta'la present you with the concepts of this vital area of Islam. In the Holy Quran Allah states that all children are born muslims. He also states that Islam is the Deenul Fitrah (Deen according to our "Real Nature"). We are therefore in our True Nature at birth. Since Islam means willing surrender and total submission to the Lord of The Universe, a child's nature at birth is such that it is indeed programmed by our Creator (instincts) to submit to Him unconditionally. This nature at infancy is our pure self (Absolute purity belongs only to Allah , we are talking about human purity). We start our life on this earth therefore in such a way that we can truthfully say Islam was made for us and we for Islam. Allah Ta'la states in The Holy Quran that it is the parents (or whoever brings the children up) who turn them into Jews, Christians, Polytheists etc. It is now clear that those who bring the children up are the ones who help contaminate the child. Removing from our true nature, whatever does not belong there is the process of purification. Recapturing and going back to the infant innocence (our true nature) therefore should be the goal. It is only then that true and willing surrender and submission to the Lord of The Universe our Creator can be accomplished, by His Grace.
More to come Inshaallah in our next issue.

TRANSLATION OF THE HIGHLY ACCLAIMED BOOK IN 5 VOLUMES "MAKSHOOFAT MANAZIL EHSAAN".
"(MANIFESTATIONS OF THE STAGES OF EXCELLENCE IN WORSHIP)" continued

By Hadrat Shaikh Abu Anees Muhammad Barkat Ali Mudda Zilluhu

"Hadrat Ibn 'Umar , narrates that the Beloved of Allah Hadrat Muhammad put his blessed hand on my body and said "Live in this world as though you are a stranger (to it) or a traveller, who is passing by a road and consider yourself among the dead". He then added 'Umar () when you wake up in the morning do not talk to your heart about the evening. And if you are alive in the evening, do not give your heart news about the morning. Before your illness take something from your good health and before you die take something from your life, because O 'Abdullah you do not know what your name will be tomorrow (Dead or Alive). Tirmidhi Shareef.
(Based upon this command of the Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad )
In the silent but pleasant surroundings of the forest . . . . .

A Historical Promise of a Faqeer (one who stores nothing for the morrow

I, who am helpless, needy, sinful and full of shortcomings will devote forever my entire life that You have given me, and sacrifice everything You have made me the owner of, in the Da'wah and Tableegh of your Deenul Islam. I also promise that from this auspicious moment till death I will live in your Dunya as a traveller. A traveller has nothing with him except the clothes he is wearing a small bag containing essentials, which he can easily carry with him. Apart from these, a traveler cannot keep anything else with him. And I will consider myself among those who are dead in the graveyards. The one who is dead has no desires except that You may give him life again and that (this time around) he will spend his life in Your Worship!

By Your Grace, I swear by You that nothing of Your Dunya, or any (high) office, has any importance for me. Neither have I any desire left in my heart for anything except for You.
By Your Grace, nothing of Your Dunya has any value for me, no matter how attractive it may be. Except for You, Your faqeer does not ever pay any attention to any object of Your Dunya.
All this is from You There is no power greater than Yours, the Most High in His Greatness. I can never ever thank you for this favor, even if I continue thanking you till the Day of Judgement.

No matter what anyone says, no slave (of yours) has any power over what he does, without Your Taufeeq (Your putting it in his heart). Every slave (of Yours) is bound by Your Will in every condition and is dependent upon Your Taufeeq. Until someone receives the favor of Your Taufeeq for performing a deed, no slave (of Yours) can do any work of the Deen. Every slave (of Yours) in every matter is needy of Your Taufeeq.

Our Task: (Is) To teach the slaves of Allah the requirements of Allah's Deenul Islam; to use all kinds of wisdom to persuade all towards the Deen. Whatever any one says (to us negatively) we are never to respond. We must walk our path without dependence upon approval or disapproval (Of others).

Please O Allah favor us with stability on this.
Hadrat Ibn Abbas narrates that the Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad has said: There are two gifts (from Allah) about which people are unappreciative. These are good health and (availability of) time. (Bukhari)

Hadrat Mastoorad Bin Shadaad narrates: "I have heard the Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad say. By Allah, compared to the Aakhirah (Hereafter) the similitude of the Dunya is like someone dips his finger into the river and sees what it has brought back with it (how much water adheres to it)". (Muslim)

Hadrat Jaabir narrates that the Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad passed by a little dead lamb, with small ears which were cut. Hadrat Muhammad asked "which one of you would buy this for one Dirham?" The Holy Companions (May Allah be pleased with them) responded "We would not like to buy it for any price (whatsoever)". He said: By Allah, this Dunya in His eyes is more disgraceful than this (little dead lamb) is in yours". (Muslim)

Hadrat Abu Hurairah narrates that the Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad has said: "Dunya is a jail for a Mumin and Jannah for the Kaafir". (Muslim)

Hadrat Abu Hurairah narrates that the Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad has said: "Annihilated is the slave of Dirham and Dinaar and shirt. If he is given these things he is happy and pleased. If these are not given, he is unhappy. May this slave be annihilated, debased and disgraced. When a thorn pierces his foot may no one remove it. There is good news for the slave who is ready holding the reigns of his horse to fight in the path of Allah . His hair is disheveled, his feet soiled. If he is assigned to patrol the army, he does it well. If he is ordered to follow behind the army, he follows behind diligently. If he wants to join the gathering of people, he is not given permission (As he does not possess worldly respectability) and if he recommends anyone, his recommendation is not accepted (because he is held in low esteem among the people) (Bukhaaree)

Hadrat Umrau Bin 'Auf narrates that the Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad has said: "I swear by Allah, I am not afraid of your poverty and destitution, but I am afraid that the world would be made expansive for you as it was made expansive for those who were before you. Then you will prefer the world (You would get caught in the pleasures of the world) the way the people before you preferred it and this world will annihilate you as it annihilated them" (Bukhaaree, Muslim)

Hadrat Abu Hurairah narrates that the Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad has said: "O Allah, please bestow upon the progeny of Muhammad () (People of his household and children) enough provision to keep them alive and preserve the energy of their bodies". In another narration it is mentioned: "Please bestow enough provision to keep them alive". (Bukhaaree, Muslim)

Hadrat Abu Hurairah narrates that the Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad has said: The slave of (Allah ) keeps saying "My money, my money" (keeps feeling proud of his money) and the truth is that from his money, what is his are three things. Firstly, what he ate and finished, secondly what he wore till it was torn and thirdly what he spent in the way of Allah and accumulated that treasure for the Aakhirah (the Hereafter). Whatever remains after these three things (are consumed) is what will be left for others, when he goes. (Muslim)

Dear Allah, bestow Your Choicest Blessings upon our Master Muhammad and upon his extended family and his progeny according to the number of all things known to you. I seek the forgiveness of the One but for whom there is no God. For he is the maintainer of all life and upholder of true life and I turn to Him with repentance.

This is the Salaatunnabi (Durood) recited by Hadrat Sayyadina UWAIS QARNI , and the inherited Durood Shareef of the Honorable chain of Quadariyyah; Mujaddidiyyah; Ghafooriyyah; Raheemiyyah; Kareemiyyah and Ameeriyyah. It is highly recommended that those who seek the love and closeness to the Beloved of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad make it mandatory upon themselves to recite this Durood Shareef according to their capacity and the time they have available.
