Placing of Ghilafs on the Mazar-e-Shareefs of Awliya Allah Rizwan allahi thaalah

1. Ghilaf or Chadar (cloth) is placed on the grave of a Wali or pious Muslim for the benefit of the visitors so that they may understand and respect the muqam of awliyas and for pious muslims ghilaf is placed so that people can understand and realise the status of the deceased Muslim.

2. It is allowed to put on a Ghilaf on the graves of Awliya and Ulema when it is recognised that the majority respect the person in the grave. People are also aware of the holy person's status and gain auspiciousness from the holy person who is resting in the grave.

3. In the famous book, "Raddul Mukhtaar", it is stated: "It is permissible to place a cloth on the Qabar of a Wali or pious Muslim so that visitors be more respectful when visiting the grave. We should also realise that the basis of action is upon the intention".

Topic : Question : Why Flowers Chadars are put on the Mazar-e-shareefs of Awliya Allah ? or why do you put flowers on graves ?

Answer :
The Chaadar and Sandal procession is a public event designed to reflect love and respect of the soul of the wali. It is an event whereby homage is paid to the wali, and to his success in the hereafter. Trays are decoratively laden with many Ghilaaf (sheets of material used to cover the grave of the wali), flowers, Itr, Niyaaz and sandal powder. These trays are carried on the head as a mark of respect (This does not constitute Ibaadat in any way). The mureedeen and other devotees of the saint normally prepare the trays. A Shaamyaana (roughly translated as a four - handled shade, awning or umbrella) usually in the colours of the Silsila to which the saint belongs; is held aloft by those who are taking part in the procession. It is there to shelter on from the natural elements, viz. The sun and rain. It also lends dignity to the procession

Chaadars are placed on the grave of the Aulia Allah. This is an act of Sunnah. After the demise of the Prophet ( sal-lal-lahu alai hi wa sallam) a sahaabiyah came to Sayyida Ayesha Siddiqah  (Rahmatullahi Allaih) and requested her to show the grave of the Prophet ( sal-lal-lahu alai hi wa sallam). Sayyidah Ayesha Siddiqah  (Rahmatullahi Allaih) then raised a Gilaf (sheet of fabric) from the grave of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah ( sal-lal-lahu alai hi wa sallam). The sahaabiyah became very, very emotional, wept beyond control, finally collapsed and passed away. (Baihaqi Shareef). Fatawa Shami, Volume 5. The Chapter on Libaas also states that it is good to place Chaadar on graves of Aulia Allah.

The grave is then sprinkled with sandal, Itr and covered with flowers. To place flowers and other fresh branches on the graves is also a Sunnah. (Bukhari Sheriff Vol.1). Itr is sprinkled onto the grave, as perfume (itr), has a certain degree of affinity with the rooh and spirituality. The Holy Prophet ( sal-lal-lahu alai hi wa sallam) loved perfume. One of the three things made for Huzoor ( sal-lal-lahu alai hi wa sallam) to prefer in this world is perfume, (Hadith). The sprinkling of Itr is for our benefit. The spiritualised precincts of a wali's tomb are sprinkled with itr so that it ushers us into calmness and serenity. It tends to purify our thoughts and is also synonymous with the state the wali is in. Aulia Allah is a special servant of Allah.

Their graves are covered with a Ghilaaf just as we cover the Quran and Kaabah with Ghilaaf. The heart of a believer is the throne of Allah (Hadith). Even up to this day the walls housing the grave the Prophet ( sal-lal-lahu alai hi wa sallam) is laden with Ghilaaf bearing Kalima Sharief and other Quranic verses which can be seen clearly from the outside also. This Sunnah is in practice from the days of the sahaaba and maintained even by the present Wahaabi regime. The Fuqahaae Kiraam have stated that the intentions behind covering the graves of Aulia Allah is love and respect for their spiritualized souls.

It also displays recognition of the achievement and success of the departed soul. It also dawns on the observer that this is the grave of a beloved of Allah who has reached the ultimate goal of nearness to Allah. The Fuqaahae Kiraam (Islamic jurists) have stressed that chaadars should not be placed on the graves of the general Muslim public.

To further highlight the status and honor of the Aulia Allah, let us take into account the following ayah of the Holy Quran: Thus, then, if he be of nearest to Allah, (there is for him) rest and satisfaction, and a 'Garden of Delights'. (S.56.V88/89.)

Visiting Graves and Shrines of Ambia

Proof of Visiting Graves and Shrines of Ambia (Alaihimus Salam) and Aulia ALLAH (Rehmatullah Alaihi Ajamaien)

Bismillahir Rehmanir Raheem

Assalat-O-Wassalam-O-Alaika YARASOOL ALLAH

We are living in a world of uncertainty and misconceptions. Man is beginning to question the very roots of his
beliefs for Allah Almighty and the Holy Prophet Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim, to create doubt in the minds of the simple and un suspecting Muslims.

Hadees-e-Nabwi: Qyamat K Din 2-Shakhs ALLAH K Hazoor Khare Kye Jaen Ge Hukm Hoga Enhen Jannat Mein Le Jao Arz Kren Ge Elahi Ham Kis Aml Ki Wja Jannat K Qabil Hue ALLAH Taala Frmaye Ga "Jannat Mein Jao Main Ne Qasm Irshad Frmai Hy Jis (Muslman) Ka Naam Ahmad Ya Muhammad Ho Dozkh Mein Na Jaye Ga". (Musnad Al-Firdous)

Can we ask for help other then ALLAH?

Bismillahir Rehmanir Raheem

Assalat-O-Wassalam-O-Alaika YARASOOL ALLAH

We are living in a world of uncertainty and misconceptions. Man is beginning to question the very roots of his
beliefs for Allah Almighty and the Holy Prophet Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim, to create doubt in the minds of the simple and un suspecting Muslims.

Here is proof from QUR'AN, Ahadith-e-Nabawi (Sallallaho Alaihi Wasallam), Sayings of Sahab-e-Kiram and from the
writings of great and authentic scholars of Islam which show beyond a shadow of a doubt that Can we ask for help other then ALLAH?

The distinguished Prophets and illustrious Awliya enjoy a very special proximity with ALLAH and are therefore,
Divinely blessed to assist fellow creation. This assistance can be of a spiritual or physical nature and can be
rendered while they are alive and even after their death. These Elite Servants of ALLAH offer their help only by the Command of Almighty ALLAH. They do not do anything without the Consent of their Sublime Lord and are always obedient to Him.

The Gracious ALLAH always Showers His Choicest Blessings on His special servants. He addresses them as "His
Friends" and no one can imagine or understand this Divinely blessed relation between them. ALLAH States in a
Hadith-al-Qudsi:

اوليائي تحت قبائي لا يعرفهم غيري

"My Awliya are hidden in My Divine Garb and no one knows them besides Me."

There are numerous Ayahs of the Holy Quran and other Ahadith that speaks about the excellence and powers of
the Ambiya and the Awliya. They are Divinely appointed representatives and commissioned by ALLAH to perform
special duties in His Kingdom. Since they are the distributors of the Bounties of ALLAH, therefore to seek help from them is actually and in reality seeking the Help of ALLAH. This is so because they are not the enemies of ALLAH but the Friends of ALLAH. 
Unfortunately, the Wahabies and Deobandies ignorantly oppose this help as Shirk and regard it as an erroneous
belief. This problem did not exist in the long past and peaceful history of Islam. Ibne Abdul Wahab of Najd
introduced it a few hundred years ago. It was then imported to the Indo/Pak sub-continent and propagated by the Deobandi/Tableeghi cult. This caused a great deal of confusion in the Ummah and also divided the Muslim
community. The Wahabi/Deobandi scholars have written extensively and vehemently condemned the seeking of
help from anyone other than ALLAH as Shirk. They claim with baseless proof that such help seeking is Shirk. To this day, many Muslims are still confused on this subject and some have adopted this Wahabi/Deobandi belief in sheer ignorance.

The reality of assistance is that ALLAH must be regarded as the All- Powerful, the Sovereign, the Absolute, the
Non-dependent and Infinite Affluent. He has the Power to independently do as He pleases. It is the belief of every Muslim that to attribute these unique qualities to anyone other than ALLAH is Shirk. Surely, no Muslim will attribute this to anyone, other than ALLAH. In fact, he regards certain creations as a medium or Waseela to achieve blessings and fulfillment of desires. This is certainly correct and in order. ALLAH Himself Orders in the Holy Quran:

وابتغوا إليه الوسيلة * "Seek the Waseela towards ALLAH." (Al-Maidah:35)

By this we understand that إياك نستعين does not reject the seeking of assistance from other than ALLAH. Similarly, in the reality of existence, it is only ALLAH Who exists without assistance and birth. Then how can it be Shirk if we believe in our existence by His Divine Grace? حقائق الأشياء ثابتةThe reality of things is established.  
This is a basic and fundamental article of faith in Islam. Likewise, is the state of the reality of knowledge. Only
ALLAH Possesses Absolute and Personal Knowledge and none of His creation possesses the same. All of creation
seek from Him and are dependent on ALLAH to inspire them with knowledge. So, if we call a knowledgeable person an Aalim or seek knowledge from an Aalim, is it Shirk? This is not so unless both ALLAH and an Aalim be regarded as the same in status. ALLAH Himself Addresses His servants in the Holy Quran as Aleem and Ulama. Almighty ALLAH refers to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Peace Be Upon Him) in this Ayah:

يعلمهم الكتاب و الحكمة * "The Nabi (Peace Be Upon Him) teaches them the Kitaab and wisdom". (Al-Imran:164)

The same is the situation of seeking assistance (استعانت) because the intention is to use a beloved of ALLAH as a Waseela to beg for His Mercy and Bounties. There is no prohibition in this act because only the creation can be a Waseela and not ALLAH. A Waseela is used to reach someone higher. Who is higher than Allah, that his Waseela is to be used? Who is above Him to fulfill desires and ambitions? ALLAH is pure from being used as a Waseela because nothing is higher than He is. Therefore, it is stated in the Hadith Shareef that a Bedouin came before the Holy Prophet(Peace Be Upon Him) and said;

"Ya Rasoolullah(Peace Be Upon Him)! We make you a Shafee (intercessor) in the Court of ALLAH and present ALLAH to you as a Shafee (intercessor)". The Beloved Prophet(Peace Be Upon Him) was very displeased with this and repeated سبحان الله سبحان الله for a long time and replied:

ويحك! انه لايستفشع بالله على أحد شأن الله اعظم من ذالك *رواه ابوداؤد عن جبير بن مطعم رضى الله عنه
"O fool! You do not present ALLAH to anyone as an intercessor. The Integrity of ALLAH is way superior to this". 
A Muslim seeks that assistance from the Ambiya and Awliya that if the same is sought from ALLAH it will earn the
displeasure of ALLAH and His Rasool(Peace Be Upon Him). It is an insult to the Divine Integrity of ALLAH to seek this form of assistance. The truth is that if anyone has faith and Imaan in such forms of assistance from ALLAH (to regard ALLAH as a Shafee), he will become a Kaafir. What can be said about the stupidity and ignorance of the idiots who have no respect for Allah, no fear of Rasoolullah(Peace Be Upon Him) and no regard for Imaan? They ignorantly include this assistance with إياك نستعين. They include this with that which is impossible for ALLAH and make it exclusive to Him.

One idiot said:

Woh Kya hay jo nahi Milta Khuda Se
Jisay tum Maangtay ho Aulia Say

What is that you cannot get from ALLAH that you ask from Awliya?

We reply to this:

Tawassul Ker nahi saktay Khuda Se
Isay Hum Maangtay Hain Aulia Se

One cannot use the Tawassul (intercession) of ALLAH and that is what we seek from the Awliya.

We present the Tawassul of Awliya in the Divine Court of ALLAH for our needs so that it may not be rejected. In
the Holy Quran, ALLAH answers this idiotic question and rejection as follows:

و لو انهم إذ ظلموا أنفسهم جاءوك فاستغفروا الله واستغفر لهم الرسول لوجدوا الله توابا الرحيما

"And when they impose on their lives (sin), they must come to your (the Nabi's) presence, then seek repentance from ALLAH and the Rasool(Peace Be Upon Him) also asks for their forgiveness. Then, they will indeed find ALLAH Most Forgiving and Compassionate." (An-Nisa:61)  
Can ALLAH Himself not forgive? Why then does ALLAH say, "O Prophet(Peace Be Upon Him)! They must come to
your presence and you seek forgiveness for them from ALLAH. Then only will they achieve the gift of forgiveness
from ALLAH." This is actually our motive but these people do not have the mentality to understand. For ALLAH'S
Sake, have justice! Does the Ayah إياك نستعين refer to seeking absolute assistance from ALLAH only, and is seeking assistance only from only Prophets and Awliya regarded as Shirk? Are the Prophets and Awliya only not Allah U? So according to the Wahabies, besides the Prophets and the Awliya, the rest of the creation are Allah U, or the is the Ayah as it takes the name of these two groups that it is Shirk to seek any aid from them and permissible (to seek assistance) from the rest?

It is not so! If seeking assistance is limited absolutely only to ALLAH and forbidden from His creation, then whatever form of aid is sort from anyone other than ALLAH will always be Shirk. Whether it be from human beings or animals, dead or alive, person or attribute, action or condition, they are all other than ALLAH. Now, what is your answer to the Ayah-e-Kareema where Almighty ALLAH States:

واستعينوا بالصبر و الصلوة * "Seek help from Sabr (patience) and Salaah".

Is Sabr (regarded as) ALLAH that you are ordered to seek assistance from it or is Salaah (regarded as) ALLAH that we are ordered to seek aid from it?

ALLAH States in another Ayah:

و تعاونوا على البرّ و التقوى * "Assist one another in good deeds and piety". (Al-Maidah:2)

Excuse me sir! If it is absolutely impossible to receive any help from other than Allah, then what is the meaning of this Command of Allah? If it is possible to get assistance from them, then why does the stomach pain?

There are countless Ahadith that clearly command the seeking of assistance from things other than ALLAH. I will list a few here: 
* Assist the evening Ibadah with the Morning Prayer,

* Seek assistance from the late night prayer (Tahajjud),

* Seek assistance from recording knowledge. (Notations),

* Seek assistance from the food of Sehri,

* Seek assistance from the mid-day siesta (Qaylola),

* Seek assistance from charity (Sadqa),

* Assist yourself by not providing clothing to your women so that they are without them. (Fitna),

* Assist yourself by not begging. (Self-sufficiency)
Are all these things the "Lord" of the Wahabies, that it is commanded to seek assistance from them? If you cannot remember these Ahadith, then listen to them from me.

If Isti'aanat (seeking help) was also forbidden from a Muslim, then why does the Hadith specify the Mushrik? Sayyiduna Omar Al-Farooq(Radi ALLAH Anho) had a Christian slave Watheeq, who was very trustworthy regarding worldly matters. Ameeril-Moh'mineen(Radi ALLAH Anho) once said to him:

اسلم استعن بك على أمانة المسلمين *

Become a Muslim so that I may seek your assistance with the Amana (entrusted monies) of the Muslim. He refused and Sayyiduna Omar(Radi ALLAH Anho) said, "We will not seek any help from a Kaafir".

Hadith no. 12

Imam Bukhari(Radi ALLAH Anho) in Taaree'kh narrates from Sayyiduna Habeeb bin Yasaaf(Radi ALLAH Anho) that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah(Peace Be Upon Him) said:

أنا لا نستعين بالمشركين على المشركين * ورواه الأمام احمد أيضا

We do not seek assistance from the Mushrik in matters regarding the Mushrik.

Hadith no. 13

It is recorded in Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim and Sunan-e-Nisaa'ee that a few Arab tribes came for some assistance from the Prophet of Allah(Peace Be Upon Him), who assisted them.

عن انس رضى الله تعالى عنه انّ النبي صلى الله تعالى عليه و سلّم اتاه رعل و ذكوان و عصية و بنو لحيان فزعموا انهم قد اسلموا واستمدوه على قومهم فامدّهم النبي صلى الله تعالى عليه و سلّم * الحديث

Sayyiduna Anas(Radi ALLAH Anho) narrates from Sayyiduna Rasoolullah(Peace Be Upon Him) that the clans of Ri'al, Zakwaan, Asiyyah and Banu Lahyaan came to him. They professed of their Islam and sought assistance for their families from the Prophet of Allah(Peace Be Upon Him), and he assisted them.  
Hadith no. 14

Sahih Muslim, Abu-Da'ood, Ibne Maaja and Tabraani in Muh'jam-e-Kabeer narrate from Sayyiduna Rabee'ah bin Kaab Aslami(Radi ALLAH Anho) that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah(Peace Be Upon Him) once said to him (Kaab Aslami): "Ask what you desire and I will give it to you". I said, "I ask of you that I be in your company in Jannah". The Beloved Nabi(Peace Be Upon Him) replied, "Is there anything else you desire?" I said, "That is all I desire". Sayyiduna Rasoolullah(Peace Be Upon Him) said, "Assist me by making excessive Sojood".

قال كنت أبيت مع رسول الله صلى الله تعالى عليه و سلّم فأتيته بوضوئه و حاجته ،

فقال لي سل و لفظ الطبراني فقال يوما يا ربيعه! سلني فاعطيك ، رجعنا الى لفظ مسلم ، قال فقلت ، اسئالك مرافقتك في الجنة ، قال أوغير ذاك؟ قلت هو ذالك قال فاعنّي على نفسك بكثرت السجود *

Sayyiduna Rabee'ah(Radi ALLAH Anho) says that "I always spent the nights with the Prophet of Allah(Peace Be Upon Him). One night, I presented water to him for Istinja and Wudu. He(Peace Be Upon Him) said to me, 'Ask!' and the words of Tabraani are, 'O Rabee'ah! Ask me what you desire and I will grant you'. We revert back to the words of Sahih Muslim, 'Then I (Rabee'ah) asked, 'I seek your company in Jannah'. The Prophet of Allah(Peace Be Upon Him) asked, 'Is there any other request?' I replied, 'That is all I desire' The Beloved(Peace Be Upon Him) then replied, 'Then you assist me by making excessive Sojood'".

Alhamdulillah! Every word of this Sahih Hadith Shareef refutes the false Wahabi belief. Sayyiduna Rasoolullah(Peace Be Upon Him) said اعنّى, "assist me" and this is called Isti'aanat.

Another important fact is that the Beloved Prophet of Allah(Peace Be Upon Him) said سل "ask what you desire". This command has no restrictions or limitations. It is a general option to ask for anything. It is explicitly clear from this Sahih Hadith that Almighty ALLAH has blessed Sayyiduna Rasoolullah(Peace Be Upon Him) with the authority to grant the desire of this world and the Akhirah. 
Hadith nos. 15 to 28

Imam Ahmad Raza states:

قلت و قوله هذا لاشك حسن صحيح فقد بلغ حدّ التواتر إلى رأى *

I say that that there is no doubt in the comment of Imam Jalaludeen Suyuti(Radi ALLAH Anho) that the Hadith is Hasan Sahih because its narration has reached the stage of Tawatur (recurrence), and hence, it will be given preference over Ra'ee (views). 
Sayyiduna Abdullah ibne Rawaha(Radi ALLAH Anho) or Sayyiduna Has'saan ibne Thaabit(Radi ALLAH Anho) state:

قد سمعنا نبيّنا قال قولا هو من يطلب الحوائج راحة

اعتدوا و اطلبوا الحوائج ممن زين الله وجه بصباحة *

Verily, we heard our Nabi(Peace Be Upon Him) say that it is the tranquility of the seekers. He said, "Seek your desires from those whose faces ALLAH has beautified with fairness and attraction". (Narrated by Imam Al-Askari)

Hadith no. 29

Sayyiduna Rasoolullah(Peace Be Upon Him) states:

اطلبوا الفضل عند رحماء من امّتي تعيشوا فى اكنافهم فانّ فيهم رحمتي *

Seek excellence from the tender-hearted people of my Ummah. Live close to them because you will find my mercy in them.

It is stated in another Hadith:

و في لفظ اطلبوا الحوائج الى ذوى الرّحمة من امّتي يرزقوا و تنجحوا *

Seek your desires from the tender-hearted persons of my Ummah, you will receive sustenance and fulfillment of desires.

Another Hadith states:

و في لفظ قال صلى الله تعالى عليه وسلّم يقول الله عزّ و جلّ اطلبوا الفضل من الرحماء من عبادي تعيشوا في اكنافهم فأنّي جعلت فيهم رحمتي *

The Glorious ALLAH States, "Ask for excellence from My kind-hearted servants. Enjoy life in their company because I have left My mercy with them".

The sources and chain of narrators of the above Hadith Shareef are as follows:

رواه بلفظ الاول ابن حبّان و الخرائطي فى مكارم الاخلاق و القضائى فى مسند الشهاب و الحاكم فى التاريخ و ابو الحسن الموصلى و بالثانى العقيلى و الطبرانى فى الاوسط وبالثالث العقيلى كلهم عن ابى سعيد الخدرى رضى الله تعالى عنه *

All of them narrate from Sayyiduna Abu-Saeed Al-Khudri(Radi ALLAH Anho).  
Hadith no. 30

Sayyidul-Alameen Mustafa(Peace Be Upon Him) states:

اطلبوا المعروف من رحماء امّتي تعيشوا فى اكنلفهم *

Ask my tender-hearted followers for virtues and charity.

Live in peace in their company.

اخرجه الحاكم فى المستدرك عن على المرتضى كرم الله وجهه الاسنى *

This Hadith Shareef is recorded by Haakim(Radi ALLAH Anho) in Mustadrak and narrated from Sayyiduna Ali Al-Murtudah(Radi ALLAH Anho)

Where are the eyes of justice? Look at the clarity of these 17 Ahadith with Imaan. Sayyiduna Rasoolullah(Peace Be Upon Him) distinctly orders us to seek assistance (استعانت), virtues and excellence from the kind-hearted servants of his Ummah. They will happily fulfill your desires. Request from them sustenance and they will give it to you. They will grant you your desires. There is peace and tranquility in their company. There is joy to live with them. O ALLAH! What is the meaning of Isti'aanat and what Isti'aanat is greater than this? Who are more soft-hearted than the Awliya in this Ummah that Isti'aanat from them will be recommended so that to seek assistance from them will be ordered?

Alhamdullilah! The sun of truth has unveiled itself with great brightness towards which the kind Rasool(Peace Be Upon Him) of the Affectionate Lord calls the Ummah.

If you are Haraam, so be it!

All Praise is due to ALLAH! By His Mercy, as promised, I have presented 30 Ahadith. I would like to present another three to make it an odd number (33) because the Hadith Shareef says that ALLAH loves an odd number.

Hadith no. 31

Sayyiduna Rasoolullah(Peace Be Upon Him) states:

اذا اضلّ احدكم شيئاً او اراد عوناً و هو بارضٍ ليس بها انيسٌ فليقل يا عباد الله! اعينوني ، يا عباد الله! اعينوني ، يا عباد الله! اعينوني ، فانّ لله عباداً لايراهم *

When anyone of you loses something and require help in a remote place where there is no help, then call out: "O servants of Allah! Assist me! O servants of Allah! Assist me! O servants of Allah! Assist me!" because there are some servants of ALLAH that you cannot see. 
رواه الطبراني عن عتبه بن غزوان رضى الله تعالى عنه *

How Auliya-Allah help from Grave ?

Allah said in Quran:

إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاَةَ وَيُؤُْونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ


Verily, your Walee (Protector or Helper) is Allah, His Messenger صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم , and the believers, - those who perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat, and they bow down.
[Maida:55]

There is an hadith is there in virtue of Hazrat Ali Rahmatullahi Allaih regarding Shan-e-Nazul of this verse:

عن عمار بن ياسر رضي الله عنه، يقول: وقف على علي بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه سائل وهو راكع في تطوع، فنزع خاتمه فأعطاه السائل، فأتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم، فأعلمه ذالك، فنزلت على النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم هذه الآية: {إنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللهُ وَرَسُوْله وَالَّذِيْنَ آمَنُوا الَّذِيْنَ يُقِيْمُوْنَ الصَّلاةَ وَيُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُوْنَ} فقرأها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم، ثم قال: من كنت مولاه فعلي مولاه، اللهم! وال من والاه، وعاد من عاداه.

Translation:

“It is narrated by ‘Ammār bin Yāsir (رضی اللہ عنہ) that a beggar came up to ‘Alī (رضی اللہ عنہ) and stood beside him. He رضی اللہ عنہ was kneeling in prayer. He رضی اللہ عنہ pulled out his ring and he gave the ring to the beggar. Then ‘Alī (رضی اللہ عنہ) called on the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) and told him the news. At this occasion, this verse was revealed to him: (Surely your (helping) friend is Allāh and His Messenger and (along with them) are the believers who establish prayers, pay zakāh and bow down (in humility before Allāh Subhana Wa Taala ). Allāh’s Messenger (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) read out the verse and said: One who has me as his master has ‘Alī as his master. O Allāh! Be his friend who befriends him (‘Alī) and be his enemy who is his enemy.”

Now question that arises here is that how these Believers the friends of Allah (Auliya-Allah) help from grave ? how can they listen from far distance ? how can they see so long ?...etc.

Before answering these Questions I would like to quote a hadith (actually it is Hadith-e-Qudsi) from Sahih Bukhari Shreef.  
Bukhari sharif Volume 8, Book 76, Number 509:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) said, "Allah said, 'I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious worshipper of Mine. And the most beloved things with which My slave comes nearer to Me, is what I have enjoined upon him; and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil (praying or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till I love him, so I become his sense of hearing with which he hears, and his sense of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he grips, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me, I will give him, and if he asks My protection (Refuge), I will protect him; (i.e. give him My Refuge) and I do not hesitate to do anything as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates death, and I hate to disappoint him."

حضرت ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ حضور نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا : اللہ تعالیٰ فرماتا ہے : جو میرے کسی ولی سے دشمنی رکھے میں اُس سے اعلانِ جنگ کرتا ہوں اور میرا بندہ ایسی کسی چیز کے ذریعے میرا قرب نہیں پاتا جو مجھے فرائض سے زیادہ محبوب ہو اور میرا بندہ نفلی عبادات کے ذریعے برابر میرا قرب حاصل کرتا رہتا ہے یہاں تک کہ میں اس سے محبت کرنے لگتا ہوں اور جب میں اس سے محبت کرتا ہوں تو میں اس کا کان بن جاتا ہوں جس سے وہ سنتا ہے اور اس کی آنکھ بن جاتا ہوں جس سے وہ دیکھتا ہے اور اس کا ہاتھ بن جاتا ہوں جس سے وہ پکڑتا ہے اور اس کا پاؤں بن جاتا ہوں جس سے وہ چلتا ہے۔ اگر وہ مجھ سے سوال کرتا ہے تو میں اسے ضرور عطا کرتا ہوں اور اگر وہ میری پناہ مانگتا ہے تو میں ضرور اسے پناہ دیتا ہوں۔ میں نے جو کام کرنا ہوتا ہے اس میں کبھی اس طرح متردد نہیں ہوتا جیسے بندۂ مومن کی جان لینے میں ہوتا ہوں۔ اسے موت پسند نہیں اور مجھے اس کی تکلیف پسند نہیں۔ 
First of all note the starting words, Allah Said : I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious worshipper of Mine. So it’s just a warning to those who deny the virtues the powers and the status of friends of Allah, and disrespect them and consider them as ordinary person and compare them with idols. So those who keep these views regarding friends of Allah, Allah declare war against them.

Now, one can imagine that to whom Allah declared war, he/she whether apparently looks like muslim and show knowledge of religion, actually tht person is Munafiq, and Allah has declared war against him/her.

Always remember, we are not discussing friends of normal person or our friends, it’s the matter of friends of Allah, to whom Allah say that they are my Friends, so now they are not like or equal to status and position of ordinary person. Obviously because he is friend of Allah. So there is also warning in Quran as well :

حضرت عمر بن خطاب رضی اللہ عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ حضور نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا : بے شک اﷲ تعالیٰ کے کچھ ایسے برگزیدہ بندے ہیں جو نہ انبیاء کرام ہیں نہ شہداء، قیامت کے دن انبیاء کرام علیھم السلام اور شہداء انہیں اﷲ تعالیٰ کی طرف سے عطا کردہ مقام دیکھ کر اُن پر رشک کریں گے۔ صحابہ کرام رضی اللہ عنھم نے عرض کیا : یا رسول اﷲ! آپ ہمیں ان کے بارے میں بتائیں کہ وہ کون ہیں؟ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا : وہ ایسے لوگ ہیں جن کی ایک دوسرے سے محبت صرف اﷲ تعالیٰ کی خاطر ہوتی ہے نہ کہ رشتہ داری اور مالی لین دین کی وجہ سے۔ اﷲتعالیٰ کی قسم! ان کے چہرے نور ہوں گے اور وہ نور (کے منبروں) پر ہوں گے، انہیں کوئی خوف نہیں ہوگا جب لوگ خوفزدہ ہوں گے، انہیں کوئی غم نہیں ہوگا جب لوگ غم زدہ ہوں گے پھر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے یہ آیت تلاوت فرمائی : ’’خبردار! بیشک اولیاء اللہ پر نہ کوئی خوف ہے اور نہ وہ رنجیدہ و غمگین ہوں گے۔

بیشک اولیاء اللہ پر نہ کوئی خوف ہے اورنہ وہ رنجیدہ و غمگین ہوں گے

Behold! verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve;

So u can see before talking about friends (Auliya), Allah use word أَلاَ Khaberdar, Behold, Danger. Question comes why is that so ? Allah never use this word while discussing other issues in Quran, why now this word is use when matter of Auliya Allah is going to be discussed ?

Remember! Danger word always use where there is really a danger, you go to power station and see sign of danger at different places, why they put it there ? just because, slight miss handling or mistake can take your life! So where there is danger to life, people put up danger sign board, similarly here when discussing Auliya Allah the friends of Allah all-mighty, slight miss behavior, disrespect and hatred (bay-adabi, ghustakhi) can take your Emaan!! That is why Allah warned everyone, that before discussing them ‘behold’ ‘be aware’….you are going to talk about Allah’s friends …these are not ordinary people!
In a Hadith of Siha Sitta Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said :

حضرت اسماء بنت یزید رضی اﷲ عنھا سے روایت ہے کہ میں نے حضور نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کو فرماتے ہوئے سنا : کیا میں تمہیں تم میں سے سب سے بہتر لوگوں کے بارے میں خبر نہ دوں؟ صحابہ کرام رضی اللہ عنھم نے عرض کیا : یا رسول اﷲ! کیوں نہیں۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا : تم میں سے بہتر لوگ وہ ہیں کہ جب انہیں دیکھا جائے تو اﷲتعالیٰ یاد آ جائے۔

Coming back to Hadiht-e-Qudsi. After declaring war against those who donot believe in Auliya-Allah, Allah said :

1. I become his sense of hearing with which he hears
2. his sense of sight with which he sees
3. his hand with which he grips
4. his leg with which he walks

Always remember Allah is pak from hand, legs eyes etc, now what these word here mean ? for this I will explain it with two very simple examples if u concentrate and read it, you will easily be able to understand these words. Before moving on to explanation of Hadith-e-Qudsi, let us see Powers of a Wali (Asif Bin Berkhia) of Hazrat Sulaiman Alaihis Salaam Ummah, who was blessed with little knowledge of Book.

[Surah Naml:38--40]
When Hazrat Sulaiman Alaihis Salaam asked who can bring the Takht (throne) of Queen of Saba, then Asif Bin Berkhia a Wali who was blessed with little knowledge of Book, bring that takht within the twinkling of an eye! and the distance from court of Hazrat Sulaiman Alaihis Salaam and capital of saba (where that throne was) is not less than 1500 miles, and the throne was not lying in a jungle from where it had just to be fetched. It lay in a queen's palace, which must have been well-guarded, and in the absence of the queen it must have been kept in a secure place.

As in verse :
(پھر) ایک ایسے شخص نے عرض کیا جس کے پاس (آسمانی) کتاب کا کچھ علم تھا کہ میں اسے آپ کے پاس لا سکتا ہوں قبل اس کے کہ آپ کی نگاہ آپ کی طرف پلٹے (یعنی پلک جھپکنے سے بھی پہلے)، پھر جب (سلیمان علیہ السلام نے) اس (تخت) کو اپنے پاس رکھا ہوا دیکھا (تو) کہا: یہ میرے رب کا فضل ہے تاکہ وہ مجھے آزمائے کہ آیا میں شکر گزاری کرتا ہوں یا نا شکری، اور جس نے (اللہ کا) شکر ادا کیا سو وہ محض اپنی ہی ذات کے فائدہ کے لئے شکر مندی کرتا ہے اور جس نے ناشکری کی تو بیشک میرا رب بے نیاز، کرم فرمانے والا ہے،  

One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: "I will bring it to you within the twinkling of an eye!" then when (Sulaiman (Solomon)) saw it placed before him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful!

So just see, jisay kuch Ilm dia gaya us ki powers or Ikhtayarat or authorities ka ye alam hai kay he bought that throne from thousand miles within twinkling of an eye!!

And Hazrat Sulaiman Alaihis Salaam said on this karamat that this is Allah's Fazal. Now just Imagine jis per Book ka sara ilm nazil huwa, jisay Allah nay Fazal-e-Azeem (sab say bara fazal) say nawaza us ki powers or authorities or us kay knowledge ka koi insaan andaza nahi laga sakta.

Jis per Kuch fazal huwa, jis per fermaya :This is by the Grace of my Lord us nay itni azeem-o-shan takat ka muzahira kia, tou jis per Fazal-e-Azeem hai,
Allah said 4:113:
وَكَانَ فَضْلُ اللّهِ عَلَيْكَ عَظِيما
And Ever Great is the Grace of Allah unto you (O Muhammad صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم). .. now can anyone in this universe even imagine the Powers and highness of Knowledge of Prophet صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم ?

Now we’ll see how these Auliya, the friends of Allah help from grave and how the get the power ?

Explanation of Hadith Bukhari sharif Volume 8, Book 76, Number 509
Example No.1:

Take a piece of Iron, and put it into fire. Now you know it very well that iron (loha) has no power to burn things. Iron in normal state cannot burn others. But when placed in fire and when it got red, now it has the power the ability to burn things. It is still same piece of Iron, but why it is now able to burn other things ? just because this piece of iron has put itself to fire, fire has given it his power of burning to Iron, now iron can also burn others. In urdu we say “iron nay apnay aap ko aag may fana kerdia, tou aag nay apni qualities iron mai daal deen jis say ab iron bhee dosri cheez ko jalanay kay kabil bangia.” 

So kia iron fire ban gia ? or fire iron ban gaee ?
Nahi, iron, iron hai…aag aag hai, sirif huwa kia, aag nay apni quality apni property to burn iron ko bhee daydee, yani fire ki quality (to burn things) is appearing from a piece of iron.

So similarly Auliya Allah the friends of Allah doing worship and performing lots of Nawafil, they kill there nafs, wo apnay aap ko Allah ki zaat may fana kerdaytay hain. Phir un say Allah ki sifaat ka zahor(izhar) hota hai.

They do not become Allah! Just like iron does not became fire. Sirif hota ye hai kay Allah ki qualities ka zahor in Auliya say hota hai. That is why from hadith, Eye is of that wali that pious man, but power of watching is of Allah, ear is of that pious man, but power of hearing is of Allah, hand is still of that pious worshipper, but power in those hand is power of Allah, they do not become Allah (Naozobillah) but they become Mazhar (means zahir honay ki jaga) of Qualities of All-Mighty Allah.

Yani un ki bashri sifaat magloob hojateen hain or Allah ki sifaat ghalib aajateen hain.
When I pious worshipper the friend of Allah reached at this state, this stage is called Muqam-e-Faqr, or fana-fillah.

And Holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم said about it:
الفقر فخری والفقر منی
Translation: "Faqr is my pride and Faqr is my heritage".

That is why Allah called Prophet’s صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم hand His Hand :
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُبَايِعُونَكَ إِنَّمَا يُبَايِعُونَ اللَّهَ يَدُ اللَّهِ فَوْقَ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَمَن نَّكَثَ فَإِنَّمَا يَنكُثُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ أَوْفَى بِمَا عَاهَدَ عَلَيْهُ اللَّهَ فَسَيُؤْتِيهِ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا.

(اے حبیب!) بیشک جو لوگ آپ سے بیعت کرتے ہیں وہ اﷲ ہی سے بیعت کرتے ہیں، ان کے ہاتھوں پر (آپ کے ہاتھ کی صورت میں) اﷲ کا ہاتھ ہے۔ پھر جس شخص نے بیعت کو توڑا تو اس کے توڑنے کا وبال اس کی اپنی جان پر ہوگا اور جس نے (اس) بات کو پورا کیا جس (کے پورا کرنے) پر اس نے اﷲ سے عہد کیا تھا تو وہ عنقریب اسے بہت بڑا اجر عطا فرمائے گاo  

Those who swear allegiance to you, swear allegiance to Allah. The hand of Allah is over their hands; so who-so ever breaks his oath, he breaks it to his own loss, and whosoever fulfils the covenant which he had made with Allah, then Allah shall soon give him a great Reward.

So we also got evidence from Quran.

Now I’ll explain this hadith-e-Qudsi with another more simpler example:

Some people got influenced with Jinnat, logon per jin cherh jata hai, and this is a reality, which is proved from Quran. So when somebody got affected or controlled by a jin, then hands are still of that person, tongue is still same, but when he speak people who are watching say Jin is speaking.

So is that man become a Jin ? or a Jin become a man ? No! neither man become Jin nor Jin is converted in to human, Man is still man, Jin is still Jin, na Jin insaan bana na insaan jin bana but what happens ? huwa ye kay Jin nay insaan ki properties or qualities ko block kerdia, and apni properties or qualities ko enforce kerdia, ab insaan ka dekhna Jin ka dekhna hai, Insaan ka bolna jin ka bolna hai. Insan insan he hai, mager Jin ki qualities or properties ka zahor insaan say ho raha hai.

So a Jin which is just a creation of Allah, jin has so power to takeover human then who can imagine the power of Allah ?... JIN jo ALLAH ki ek creature hai us kay aser or ghalib ajanay ka ye haal hain tou khalik jo ALLAH hai us kay aser or ghalbay ka kia haal hoga ? kay ALLAH tallah un kay bashiri osaaf qualities ko malghoob ker kay apni qualities ghalib kerdayta hai.

That is why we say tht seeing of that person is from vision of Allah, hearing of that person is from hearing power of Allah and helping through their hands is helping of Allah. They do not become Allah but from them Qualities and Allah’s powers becomes appearing.

Now answer to the questions and objections that how these Believers the friends of Allah (Auliya-Allah) help from grave ? how can they listen from far distance ? how can they see so long ?... are crystal clear. 

--Their vision is Allah’s vision, so is there anything hidden from Allah’s vision ?
--Their hearing is Allah’s Hearing, so that is why they can hear anyone who call them for help.
--Their helping and power is Allah’s help and power.

So that is why we say and believe that these friends of Allah can help according to verse Maida:55. And our believe is all from Quran and Authentic Hadiths it is not fake and self made, those who think like it they might have miss understandings and confusions, because they use their own mind and sense infront of Quran and Hadith, they never try to see what Quran and Hadith are telling us.

Or they miss interpret some hadiths and verses, and make false believe which results in contradiction in Quran and Sunnah.

Objection : Some people will raise this objection so I am answering it in advance. They say that they have these powers when they were here in this world, now they have passed away so they can’t listen help.

This objection is extremely illogical, baseless and senseless and shows the low standard of knowledge of those who raise such objections.

Now to answer this, first those who raise this objection prove that Allah take back their powers (which Allah has bestowed on His friends in their apparent life) when Auliya Passes from this world!

Secondly it is already proved from Quran and Ahadiths from Bukhari that after passing this world powers of listening seeing hearing increases rather getting decrease. Even a Kafir can listen more after his dead. and this is clear from hadiths of Bukhari and Muslim.

Allah and His Prophet sal-lal-lahu alai hi wa sallam knows the Best.

Bending or Kissing or Bowing towards Mazar-e-Mubar

Bending or Kissing or Bowing towards Mazar-e-Mubarak is not in Qibla Direction ?

Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Raheem. Allahumma Salle 'Ala Syedina Muhammadin Wa 'Ala Aalihi Syedina Muhammadin Wa Barik Wa Sallim.

Topic Question : Sajdah is not Complete without the Qibla Direction & Tazeem of mazars is not worship ? How ?

Answer :

Worship is only for Allahu Subhaanahu thaalah and no other creation is worth of Worship expect allah.

Coming to Point :
Sajdah of Worship is complete only under the circumstances / Conditions for Sajdah of Worship :

1) Wazoo is a must . Without Wazoo sajdah cannot happen
2) Neeyah is a must . Neeyah for worship
3) Qibla direction is very very important
4) 8 parts of the body should touch the ground without which sajdah will not be complete
5) Tazbeeh that is Subhaana Rabi al Aala should be recited in Sajdah of worship.

Bowing towards Mazars e Shareefs or Kissing Mazar e shareefs is not Sajdah of Worship for the following reasons :-

1) First of All Mazars of Momins or graves of muslim on this earth head side ( sirra side is not Qibla direction ) is in not towards Qibla direction only the faces face qibla direciton. The Direction of head is not in qibla direction but the face of muslim or momin faces qibla direction in the grave. So how ever bows or kisses the mazar shareef the person doing so is not bending or bowing towards qibla direction. Now the question arises here is when a person not bowing towards qibla direction how this act can become Sajdah or worship. So it is foolishness to say this act of respect as worship etc.
2) Here the neeyah ( intension ) is not for worship
3) There are no Tazbeehs recited here
4) Also Wazoo is not compulsary here. 

5) The Kissing of Feets of pious or elders is reffered as Khadam Boosi is urdu. So people near mazars try to take blessing from feet. Feet has importance in islam so bending near muqam e ibrahim is also allowed in Islam. We bend towards muqam e ibrahim in Nafil salah of worship of allah subhaanahu thaalah. if any one doesn't like to bend near or in front of muqam e ibrahim ( alaihis salaam ) his umrah or hajj will be thrown on his face. Worship is only for Allahu subhaanahu thaalah. So Blaming innocent muslims as worshipper of graves etc is haram and dead sin. Almighty is aware of all the consequences so he has arranged every thing in order and also kept conditions for Sajdah of worship of him ( Sajdah of Ebadaah for allah ) and it is wrong to blame muslims and patch the name of worship for tazeem.

Therefore Bending or Kissing or Bowing towards Mazar-e-Mubarak is not in Qibla Direction ? Then how you can point this act as worship ?
Worship ( Sajdah-e-Ebadaah ) is for allah which is accepted only when it is done towards Qibla direction only. So other acts of Tazeem ( Respects ) of Mazars is not be considered as worship.? 

FAMOUS QUOTES OF NON MUSLIMS

FAMOUS QUOTES OF NON MUSLIMS ABOUT PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PEACE BE 

UPON HIM )

 
The following quotes of famous non-Muslim personalities have been compiled from numerous sources. On close analysis, one naturally comes to the conclusion that anyone who truly studies this Man is in awe of the person of Muhammad (PBUH).

The following extract has been taken from the book "The 100 - a Ranking of the Most Influential Person in History" by Michael H. Hart, a Christian American, an astronomer, a mathematician, a chess master, and a scientist. After extensive research, he rated prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as number one and to be considered as the most influential single figure in human history.

"My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential person may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels. It is probable that the relative influence of Muhammad on Islam has been larger than the combined influence of Jesus Christ and St. Paul on Christianity. Furthermore, Muhammad (unlike Jesus) was a secular as well as religious leader. In fact, as the driving force behind the Arab conquests, he may well rank as the most influential political leader of all time. It is this unparalleled combination of secular and religious influence, which I feel, entitles Muhammad to be considered the most influential single figure in human history."

Mahatma Gandhi, speaking on the character of Muhammad, (pbuh) says in (Young India):

"I wanted to know the best of one who holds today's undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind. I became more than convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the scrupulous regard for his pledges, his intense devotion to this friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle. When I closed the 2nd volume (of the Prophet's biography), I was sorry there was not more for me to read of the great life."

Additionally, other non-Muslims have written their opinions concerning Muhammad (PBUH):

"It is impossible for anyone who studies the life and character of the great Prophet of Arabia, who knew how he taught and how he lived, to feel anything but reverence for that mighty Prophet, one of the great messengers of the Supreme. And although in what I put to you I shall say many things which may be familiar to many, yet I myself feel, whenever I reread them, a new way of admiration, a new sense of reverence for that mighty Arabian teacher."

Annie Besant in "The Life and Teachings of Mohammad"

"Muhammad was the soul of kindness, and his influence was felt and never forgotten."

Diwan Chand Sharma, "The Prophets of the East"

"People like Pasteur and Salk are leaders in the first sense. People like Gandhi and Confucius, on the other hand, and Alexander, Caesar on the other, are leaders in the second and perhaps the third sense. Jesus and Buddha belong in the third category alone. Perhaps the greatest leader of all time was Mohammad, who combined all the three functions. To a lesser degree Moses did the same."

Jules Masserman in "Who Were Histories Great Leaders?" TIME Magazine.

"Head of State as well as Church, he was Caesar and Pope in One; but he was Pope without the Pope's pretensions, and Caesar without the legions of Caesar, without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without police force, without a fixed revenue. If ever a man ruled by right Divine, it was Muhammad, for he had all the powers without their supports. He cared not for the dressings of power. The simplicity of his private life was in keeping with his public life."

Reverend Bosworth Smith in "Muhammad and Muhammadanism"

"Four years after the death of Justinian, A.D. 569, was born in Mecca, in Arabia, the man Muhammad, who of all men, has exercised the greatest influence upon the human race. To be the religious head of many empires, to guide the daily life of one-third of the human race, may perhaps justify the title of a Messenger of God."

Dr. William Draper, M.D. L.L.D. in "History of Intellectual Development of Europe"

"In little more than a year he was actually the spiritual, nominal and temporal ruler of Medina, with his hands on the lever that was to shake the world."

John Austin, "Muhammad the Prophet of Allah" in T.P.'s and Cassel's Weekly

"Never has a man set for himself, voluntarily or involuntarily, a more sublime aim, since this aim was super human; to subvert superstitions which had been imposed between man and his Creator, to render God unto man and man unto God; to restore the rational and sacred idea of divinity amidst the chaos of the material and disfigured gods of idolatry, then existing. Never has a man undertaken a work so far beyond human power with so feeble means, for he Muhammad had in the conception as well as in the execution of such a great design, no other instrument than himself and no other aid except a handful of men living in a corner of the desert. Finally, never has a man accomplished such a huge and lasting revolution in the world, because in less than two centuries after its appearance, Islam, reigned over the whole of Arabia, and conquered, in God's name, Persia, Khorasan, Transoxania, Western India, Syria, Egypt, Abyssinia, all the known continent of Northern Africa, numerous islands of the Mediterranean Sea, Spain and part of Gaul.

If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astonishing results are the three criteria of human genius, who could dare compare any great man in history with Muhammad? The most famous men created arms, laws, and empires only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes. This man moved not only armies, legislations, empires, peoples, dynasties, but millions of men in one-third of the then inhabited world; and more than that, he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and the souls. The founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire that is Muhammad. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?

Alphonse de LaMartaine in "Historie de la Turquie"

"The league of nations founded by the Prophet of Islam put the principle of international unity of human brotherhood on such Universal foundations as to show candle to other nations. The fact is that no nation of the world can show a parallel to what Islam has done - the realization of the idea of the League of Nations."

Rasool Allah ( sallal hu ali wasslam) manners and disposition

Rasool Allah ( sallal hu ali wasslam) manners and disposition:

"By the grace of Allah, you are gentle towards the people; if you had been stern and ill-tempered, they would have dispersed from round about you" [Qur'an 3:159]

About himself the Prophet (peace be upon him) said

"Allah has sent me as an apostle so that I may demonstrate perfection of character, refinement of manners and loftiness of deportment." [Muwatta; Musnad; Mishkat]

By nature he( sallal hu ali wasslam) was gentle and kind-hearted, always inclined to be gracious and to overlook the faults of others. Politeness and courtesy, compassion and tenderness, simplicity and humility, sympathy and sincerity were some of the keynotes of his character. In the cause of right and justice he could be resolute and severe but more often than not, his severity was tempered with generosity. He( sallal hu ali wasslam) had charming manners which won him the affection of his followers and secured their devotion. Though virtual king of Arabia and an apostle of Allah, he( sallal hu ali wasslam) never assumed an air of superiority. Not that he( sallal hu ali wasslam) had to conceal any such vein by practice and artifice -- with fear of Allah, sincere humility was ingrained in his heart. He( sallal hu ali wasslam) used to say,

"I am a Prophet of Allah but I do not know what will be my end." [Sahih Bukhari]

In one of his sermons calculated to instil the fear of Allah and the day of reckoning in the hearts of men, he said,

"O people of Quraish be prepared for the hereafter, I cannot save you from the punishment of Allah; O Bani Abd Manaf, I cannot save you from Allah; O Abbas, son of Abdul Mutalib, I cannot protect you either; O Fatima, daughter of Muhammad, even you I cannot save." [Sahahin]

He( sallal hu ali wasslam) used to pray, "O Allah! I am but a man. If I hurt any one in any manner, then forgive me and do not punish me." [Ahmed, Musnad]

He( sallal hu ali wasslam) always received people with courtesy and showed respect to older people and stated: "To honour an old man is to show respect to Allah."

He( sallal hu ali wasslam) would not deny courtesy even to wicked persons. It is stated that a person came to his house and asked permission for admission. The Prophet (peace be upon him) remarked that he was not a good person but might be admitted. When he came in and while he remained in the house, he was shown full courtesy. When he left A'isha (radi Allahu anhu) said, "You did not think well of this man, but you treated him so well." The Prophet Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him replied, "He is a bad person in the sight of Allah who does not behave courteously and people shun his company because of his bad manners." [Sahih Bukhari]

He( sallal hu ali wasslam) was always the first to greet another and would not withdraw his hand from a handshake till the other man withdrew his. If one wanted to say something in his ears, he( sallal hu ali wasslam) would not turn away till one had finished. [Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi] He( sallal hu ali wasslam) did not like people to get up for him and used to say, "Let him who likes people to stand up in his honour, he should seek a place in hell." [Abu Dawud]

Woman role in Islam

Role as Mother (Status of Mother in Islam, Muslim Mother, Islamic Mother)

Apart from her role as a wife, the Muslim woman has a very important role as mother. The status and value attached to parents in the Muslim world is very high. A woman becomes complete when she becomes a mother. Enjoying her power of creativity and grade of superiority over man, she experiences those precious feelings and senses, which nature gives only to woman. There is no doubt that as a mother, she is superior to man and is the nucleus of her family!

Noble Qur'an says:

"And your Lord has commanded that you shall not serve (any) but Him, and goodness to your parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, say not to them (so much as) "Ugh" nor chide them, and speak to them a generous word. And make yourself submissively gentle to them with compassion, and say: O my Lord! Have compassion on them, as they brought me up (when I was) little." Noble Qur'an (17:23-24)

Again Noble Qur'an says:

And We have enjoined man in respect of his parents - his mother bears him with faintings upon faintings and his weaning takes two years - saying: Be grateful to Me and to both your parents; to Me is the eventual coming. And if they contend with you that you should associate with Me what you have no knowledge of, do not obey them, and keep company with them in this world kindly, and follow the way of him who turns to Me, then to Me is your return, then will I inform you of what you did. Noble Qur'an (31:14-15)

Eat of the dish what is nearer to you.

Narrated By 'Umar bin Abi Salama : I was a boy under the care of Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) and my hand used to go around the dish while I was eating. So Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) said to me, 'O boy! Mention the Name of Allah and eat with your right hand, and eat of the dish what is nearer to you." Since then I have applied those instructions when eating.

ISLAM

What is Islam?
The name of the religion is Islam, which comes from an Arabic root word meaning "peace" and "submission." Islam teaches that one can only find peace in one's life by submitting to Almighty God (Allah) in heart, soul and deed. The same Arabic root word gives us "Salaam alaykum," ("Peace be with you"), the universal Muslim greeting.


Who is a Muslim?
A person who believes in and consciously follows Islam is called a Muslim, also from the same root word. So, the religion is called "Islam," and a person who believes in and follows it is a "Muslim."



Who is Allah?
Allah is the proper name for Almighty God, and is often translated merely as "God." Allah has other names that are used to describe His characteristics: the Creator, the Sustainer, the Merciful, the Compassionate, etc.

Muslims believe that since Allah alone is the Creator, it is He alone that deserves our devout love and worship. Islam holds to a strict monotheism. Any worship and prayers directed at saints, prophets, other human beings or nature is considered idolatry.

Muslim:
Definition: A person who peacefully submits his or her self to God; a follower of the faith of Islam.

Pronunciation: moos-lim (with a strong 's' sound as in 'snake')

Alternate Spellings: Moslem -- but "Muslim" is preferred and renders a pronunciation more faithful to the Arabic word.
Common Misspellings: "Muslim" is used when referring to people; "Islamic" refers to countries, laws, etc.
Examples:
My neighbor is a Muslim.

What do Muslims believe about God, prophets, the afterlife, etc.?
The basic beliefs of Muslims fall into six main categories, which are known as the "Articles of Faith":


* Faith in the unity of God
* Faith in angels
* Faith in prophets
* Faith in books of revelation
* Faith in an afterlife
* Faith in destiny/divine decree

The "five pillars" of Islam:

In Islam, faith and good works go hand-in-hand. A mere verbal declaration of faith is not enough, for belief in Allah makes obedience to Him a duty.



The Muslim concept of worship is very broad. Muslims consider everything they do in life to be an act of worship, if it is done according to Allah's guidance. There are also five formal acts of worship which help strengthen a Muslim's faith and obedience. They are often called the "Five Pillars of Islam."

* Testimony of faith (Kalima)

Fundamental to a Muslim's spiritual life is the declaration of faith (shahaadah). Here you can explore the deeper meaning of the declaration: "There is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is the messenger of Allah."

* Prayer (Salat)


Muslims pray at least five times a day. Learn all about prayer in Islam - how to do it, when and why. Includes detailed information on how to perform the daily prayers.

* Almsgiving (Zakat)

Muslims give a small percentage of their annual savings as alms or charity, called zakat. Learn about what zakat is and how to calculate the amount.

* Fasting (Sawm)

Every year, Muslims spend one entire month in daytime fasting. Learn more 
about the observance of Ramadan and the holiday that follows its completion, 


Eid al-Fitr (the Festival of Fast-Breaking).

* Pilgrimage (Hajj)

Learn more about the Islamic pilgrimage and the holiday that follows it, Eid al-Adha (the Festival of Sacrifice).

Daily life as a Muslim:

While often seen as a radical or extreme religion, Muslims consider Islam to be the middle road. Muslims do not live life with complete disregard for God or religious matters, but nor do they neglect the world to devote themselves 
solely to worship and prayer. Muslims strike a balance by fulfilling the 


obligations of and enjoying this life, while always mindful of their duties to Allah and to others.

* Morals and manners
* Business ethics
* Modesty in dress and behavior
* Dietary rules
* Marriage
* Care of children and elderly
* Racism and prejudice
* Relations with non-Muslims
