Beliefs Relating To
Allah's Self And His Characteristics (Allah Ta'ala's Monotheism
[Oneness] And His Qualities)
Allah is one. He is Pure, He is Unique, he
is free from faults. He is the total of all qualities and
excellence. No one in any thing is equal to him or is level with him
or higher than him. In his qualities of characteristics he has
always existed and will always remain. Eternity is only for his self
and his characteristics. Except Him, whatever exists hasn't been
there always, but in fact has been created by Him. He is from
Himself meaning no-one has created Him. He is not a father of
anyone, nor a son, nor does he have a wife nor any relations. He is
self sufficient from all this. He is not dependant of anyone on any
matter and all are dependant of Him. To give wealth, to kill, to
give life are all in his control. He is the master of all, He does
whatever He wishes. Nobody can challenge His order. Without His will
a grain does not move. He is aware of all things hidden, shown, what
has happened and what is going to happen, there is not the slightest
thing that is outside His knowledge. The world, the universe, every
single creation in existence has been created by Him. Everyone is
His servant. He is more beneficent towards His servants than a
person's parents. He is the one who forgives sins and accepts one's
repentance. His hold is so strong that no one can escape without His
willingness. To give one respect or disrespect is in His control.
Whoever He wishes He will give them respect, whoever He wishes he
will give them disrespect. Possession and fortune are in His
control, whoever He wishes He will make rich, whoever He wishes He
will make them poor.
Guidance and Mis-guidance
is from Allah
Guidance or to go astray is given by Him.
Whoever He wishes will have faith, whoever He wishes will gain
infidelity. There is always a reason in His actions. There is always
Justice in His actions. He will award Paradise to Muslims and give
punishment in Hell to Infidels. Whether a servant understands or
does not understand there is always a reason behind His actions. His
gifts are a favour upon everyone and are countless. He is the only
one who deserves worshipping, except Him no-one is worthy of
worship.
Allah's existence
Allah Ta'ala is Pure from body and parts.
Meaning he is not a body nor are any things connected to Him that
you would find in a body, in fact this is impossible to Him. He is
pure from place or boundary, direction, face, weight, breadth, gain,
loss, joint with something, to mix in something, to be born to give
birth, to move from one place to another place, to change in shape
or size, or any other thing which may relate to a body. In the Holy
Quran and the Hadith Sharif where many words that have been used to
explain Allah, for example 'Yadd meaning hand','Wajh meaning face',
'Rijl meaning leg','Dihac meaning to smile' etc. which according to
the dictionary relates to the body, to take this type of meanings is
to go astray or one who has bad beliefs (because Allah does not have
a body). These types of words are interpreted according to the
dignity of Allah, because to take these word literally is impossible
for Allah. For example Yadd's interpretation is Power and Wajh is
interpreted as self and 'Istiw'a' is interpreted as to power over
someone. However, it is better that one should not even consider
interpretation without cause. In fact one should believe it as
correct and leave the meaning to Allah, i.e. He knows better. Our
faith is on the quote of Allah and is beloved Prophet. 'Istiw'a is
correct, Yadd is correct but this Istiw'a is not like the Istiw'a of
a creation. His Yadd is not like the Yadd of a creation. His speech,
His sight, His hearing is not like the speech, sight, hearing of a
creation.
Allah's Self and His
characteristics are not from creation or from power.
- Belief:
Except for Allah's Self and His characteristics
every thing is created meaning it did not exist but was created
after.
- Belief: To call the
characteristics of Allah a creation is to go astray and a bad
belief.
- Belief: Whoever has the
belief that except for Allah's self or characteristics something
else is 'Kadeem' (meaning always been in existence) or believes
that the world is not a creation but has always been in existence
then they are a Kafir (Infidel).
- Belief: Just in the same
way that Allah Ta'ala is the creator of the universe and all it's
belongings, He is also the creator of our actions and doings.
Allah Ta'ala's presence
Allah is WajibulWajood meaning that his
presence is necessary and disappearance impossible.
- Belief: There is nothing
that is outside the knowledge of Allah. Whether it is present or
not. Whether it is possible or impossible. Whether it is specific
or global. He has been aware of everything, is aware of
everything, and will always be aware of everything for infinity.
Things change but his knowledge does not change. He is fully aware
of our intention and what is in our heart. His knowledge has no
end.
- Belief: Without Allah's
intention nothing can happen, however, he is happy when something
good occurs and upset when something bad occurs.
- Belief: Allah has the
power of all possible things. No possible thing is out of his
power. Things which are impossible for Allah are not under his
power. To believe power over the impossible for Allah is to reject
Allah.
- Belief: Good and bad,
Infidelity and faith, to obey and defy is all created by Allah.
- Belief: In real terms
Allah is the deliverer of wealth. Angels are servants and
interceders.
- Belief: There is nothing
necessary for Allah, not to give reward or to pass on punishment
or to favour upon, because he is the master without any
restriction whatsoever. Whatever He wishes he can do, whatever He
wishes he can order. If He rewards then it is his virtue, if He
punishes then it is his fair judgement. Yes it is His graciousness
that He will only order what a servant can do. He will of course
give with His virtue paradise for Muslims and He will give from
His judgement Hell to non-Muslims, because He has promised that
except for Infidelity whatever Sin He wishes He will forgive and
His promises or threats do not change. This is why punishment and
reward will definitely occur.
- Belief: Allah is care
free from the world. He does not gain any benefit or loss from it.
Nor can it give Him benefit or loss. Whatever He does, there is no
personal benefit or gain to Him. From creating the world there is
no personal benefit to Him and if He had not created it there
would have been no personal loss to Him. To show His virtue,
judgement and qualities He created the creatures.
- Belief: In everything
that Allah does there are a lot of reasons behind it whether we
understand them or not. It is his reasoning that He has made one
thing to be a cause for another thing. He made Fire to be the
cause of heat. He made water to be the cause to cool something. He
made the eye so that one could see, He made the ear so that one
could hear. If he wished He could have made fire to cool, water to
heat, eye to hear, ear to see.
- Belief: For Allah all
faults and mistakes are impossible. Like to lie, illiteracy.
mistake, cruelty, to be shameless, all sorts of faults are
impossible for Allah. If someone believes that Allah can lie but
does not lie, they are therefore believing that Allah has the
power to make a mistake or fault but does not do so. Then it does
not stop there one would have to believe that Allah can perform
any sort of fault but does not do so, like to steal, perform
adultery, be cruel, to give birth etc. etc. "Ta'ala Allaho An
Zaalika Ulwan Kabeera" Allah is pure from all them sort of
things. To believe Allah can perform faults but does not do so is
to believe faults in Allah and therefore rejecting Allah as a
Lord. May Allah protect us against having these sorts of belief.
DESTINY
Within the knowledge of Allah
there is, what was going to happen in the world and whatever
servants were going to do, Allah found this out from the beginning
and wrote it down. He wrote goodness in some people's fate and wrote
badness in another person's fate. He did not make the person
helpless by writing this down, but wrote down what the servant was
going to do. If he wrote badness in a person's fate then this is
because the person was going to perform badness and if he wrote
goodness in a person's fate then this is because the person was
going to perform goodness. Allah's knowledge or due to Allah writing
this down did not make a person helpless.
Rule: It is forbidden to discuss or debate the subject of
destiny, a person should only think that they are not helpless like
stones and therefore cannot do anything according to their will, but
actually Allah has given humans the power to do as they please and
the reward and sin is based upon this power of will. To believe
yourself as totally without will or totally helpless is a misguided
belief. After performing bad deeds you should not say that this
happened because it was Allah's will and therefore it was in my
destiny, but all good things are done with the pleasure of Allah and
all bad deeds are done with the pleasure of one's desires.
PROPHETS AND
MESSENGERS
Just as it is necessary to know Allah's
self. characteristics, and attributes, it is also as important to
know what aspects should be present in a Prophet and what should not
be, so that a person can be protected from infidelity.
Meaning of a Messenger (Rasool)
Messenger means He who brings the message
from the Lord to the servants.
Who is a Prophet
A Prophet is the person who received the 'Wahi'
(revelation) meaning a message from Allah for the guidance of
mankind to show people the path to the lord. Whether this message
came via angels to the Prophet or whether the knowledge was given
direct to the Prophet from the lord. Many Prophets and many angels
are Messengers (Rasools). All Prophets were male, nor has a Jinn
ever been a Prophet nor has there been a female Prophet. One cannot
be a Prophet due to worship or perseverance, but become a Prophet
due to Allah's will, and therefore a person's effort does not make
them favourable. Hence, Allah makes only them a Prophet who he deems
fit and are born like so, and always stay away from sin even before
becoming a Prophet and also are always attracted to good. There is
never an aspect in a Prophet that people would hate.
Prophet's walking,
conduct, looks, features, nobility and family.
A Prophet's walk, conduct, looks, features,
nobility, family, ways, manner, talk and conversation are all good
and free from faults. A prophet's intelligence is complete. A
Prophet is the most clever out of all people. The highest qualified
doctor or philosopher's intelligence does not reach even a millionth
part of the Prophet's intelligence. Those who believe that they can
become Prophet due to their effort are infidels (Kafir) and those
who believe that a Prophet's prophecy can be taken away from them
are also infidels.
Who is Ma'soom (immune
from Sin)
A Prophet or an Angel are Ma'soom,meaning
they are completely immune from sin and therefore cannot commit a
sin. Except for Prophets or Angels if one believes that an Imam or a
Wali are also Ma'soom then they are misguided and have deviated from
the right sect. Although there are Imams and great Walis who also do
not commit sin. however, if sometimes they do commit a sin then
according to Shariat this is not impossible. To pass the message of
Allah, a Prophet can never make a mistake as this is impossible.
Associating a Prophet with fear:
Those who say that the message of Allah is sometimes not passed on
by a Prophet due to the fear of people or some other reason, is an
infidel. Prophets are better than all creations. In fact they are
better than those Angels who are Rasools.
To believe a Wali to be
better than a Prophet
Regardless of how high a rank
of a Wali is, they can never be equal to a Prophet. Those who show a
non-Prophet better than a Prophet are Infidels.
Belief. (Respect of a Prophet) The respect of a
Something is missing here
mother or father and was made from soil, and made him his Caliph.
Allah gave him the knowledge of all things and their names. He gave
the order to Angels to prostrate to Adam. All the angels performed
the prostration except Shaitaan, who refused and therefore was
evicted forever and became an apostate. From Hazrat Adam Alaihi
Salaam to our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihi
Wasallam there has come many Prophets, Hazrat Nooh (Noah), Hazrat
Ibrahim (Abraham), Hazrat Moosa (Moses), Hazrat Eisa (Jesus) and
also thousands of others. The above four were Messengers and also
Prophets. The last of all Prophets and Messengers and the most
virtuous of all creations, is Allah's most beloved our Master Hazrat
Ahmad Mujtaba Muhammad Mustapha Salallaho Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasaliam.
After the beloved Prophet there has never been another Prophet nor
will there be another Prophet. Whoever believes that there will be a
Prophet or has been a Prophet during our Prophet's era or after or
actually believes it as a possibility of someone obtaining Prophecy
is a Kafir/Infidel.
Our Prophet's unique
virtues and excellence
Allah Ta'ala created from his light our
beloved Prophet, before any other thing. Prophets, Angels, Earth,
Skies, Heavens etc. have all been created from the ray of the Holy
Prophet's light (Noor). Except for Allah or being equal to Allah,
our beloved Prophet has been given whatever qualities there are, and
whatever excellence exists, by Allah Ta'ala. In the whole universe
there cannot be anything or anyone with the same or greater quality
than our beloved Prophet. Huzoor is the most virtuous creation and a
delegate of Allah Ta'ala. Huzoor is the Prophet of all the other
Prophets and it is a necessity for everyone to follow the Prophet.
Allah Ta'ala has gifted Huzoor with the keys of all Allah's
treasures, All the world and religious gifts are provided and
created by Allah and shared and given out by our beloved Prophet.
Allah Ta'ala gave our Prophet the unique gift of Me'raj, meaning
called him above the skies (Ursh) and showed him his vision with the
Prophet's own eyes. The Prophet listened to Allah's voice and was
given a tour of Jannat (paradise), Dozakh (hell), Ursh (above the
skies) and Kursi (throne). All this happened in a short period at
night. On the day of judgement our Prophet will be the first to
perform intercession, meaning he will intercede for people in the
court of Allah. He will raise the grades. There are many other
qualities, to much to mention in this short section.
Belief. To treat
something relating to the Prophet as low
If someone treated any of the Holy Prophet's
quotations or actions or deeds or situations as not worthy or looked
upon them with degrading value then they are a Kafir. [QaziKhan,
Shifa Kaazi Ayaaz etc]
Maujiza - miracles
performed by Prophets
Difference between
Maujizaa and Karamat
The untoward action which is impossible to
perform, and a Prophet performs it to prove their prophecy and
astonishes Infidels is known as a 'Maujizaa'. For example to bring
back to life the dead, with the movement of the finger to split the
moon into two. If these types of actions are performed by a Wali
(friend of Allah) then it is known as a Karaamat. If they are
performed by an ordinary person or wrongdoer or a Kafir then it is
known as 'Istidraj'.
When seeing a Maujizaa the truth of
a Prophet is accepted, because if this sort of power has been given
to them to which they .can perform miracles, astonish people and
make them helpless then they are truly a Messenger and a Prophet of
Allah, as false liars who claim to be a Prophet cannot perform these
types of miracles. Allah Ta'ala never gives the false claimants of
Prophet-hood the power to perform Maujizaas, otherwise one would not
be able to distinguish the difference between the true Prophets and
false claimants.
Important Rule: The
Prophet's mistakes
The mistakes that have been
committed by the Prophets, to talk about them except for when
praying about them in the Holy Quran and Hadith is Haram, meaning
forbidden and strictly forbidden. How can others actually use their
tongues against these kings, for Allah is the Ruler of alt. However
he wishes to build a palace He can do so, meaning the Prophets are
the Lord's beloved creations whatever way they want to present
themselves to Allah, others cannot use them as their certificates to
call them by. Meaning when a Prophet made a mistake the words used
by Allah to call them Prophets or whatever the Prophets named
themselves in the state of servant-hood, no follower has the right
to use them phrases in relation to the Prophets, as this is
completely not allowed and strictly forbidden.
BOOKS OF
ALLAH TA'ALA
Allah Ta'ala revealed to his
Messengers his statement and message. Tauret was revealed to Hazrat
Moosa, Zuboor was revealed to Hazrat Da'ood, Injeel was revealed to
Hazrat Eisa and many other books were revealed to many other
Prophets. The followers of these Prophets altered these books, added
or extracted statements and therefore changed the orders of Allah.
Then Allah Ta'ala revealed to our Master, Muhammad Salallaho Alaihi
Wasallam the Holy Quran. The Quran is such a unique book that no one
can make another like it, whether the whole world tried together to
make one, they couldn't. The Quran is complete with all the
knowledge and every aspect is enlightened. It is the same now,
fourteen hundred years later as it was when it was revealed, and
will always remain the same. If the whole world wished, even then
there would not a be a slightest letter difference to it. Those who
say that someone has altered or increased or decreased it or the
true Quran is kept by the Imam of the unseen, then they are a Kafir.
This is the true Quran. It is necessary for all to bring faith on
this Quran. There will now, not come a new Prophet nor a new book,
those who believe against this are not Muslims.
MALAIK -
ANGELS
Angels are creations of
light. They have been given the strength by Allah Ta'ala to turn
into whatever shape or form they wish, whether it be of a Human or
another creation. Angels never do anything against the order of
Allah, nor purposely or by mistake, because they are Ma'soom. They
are pure from all types of sins small or large. Allah Ta'ala has
given many types of duties, some angels have a fixed duty of taking
out the soul, some to give rain, some have been given the task to
create the face of a child in the mother's womb, some to write the
deeds of an individual, some to do a particular type of duty, others
to do another type of duty etc. Angels are not male or female. To
believe them as 'Kadeem' (always have been in existence or always
will be in existence) or to believe them as the creators is Kufr/infidelity.
The slightest form of insult for an Angel is also infidelity [Aiamgiri
etc]. Some people call their enemies or oppressors as 'the angel
of death', to say such things is not allowed and close to
infidelity. To reject the existence of Angels or to say that the
strength of all good is known as Angels and there are no such things
are both acts of Kufr.
THE JINN
Jinn are created from fire.
Out of these many have been given the strength to change in whatever
form they wish. Wicked, evil Jinn are known as Shaitaan. They are
like humans, .they are intelligent, have a soul and a body. They
eat, drink, live, die and have children. Within them there are
infidels, Muslims, Sunni, bad-sects and every type. There are more
of bad Jinn in quantity as per humans. To say that there is no such
thing as Jinn or the Jinn is the bad in you are acts of Kufr/infidelity.
DEATH AND THE
GRAVE
Every single person's age is fixed. It
cannot increase from it's fixed time nor can it decrease. When the
time of life is finishing, Hazrat Izraeel Alaihi Salaam comes to
extract the dying person's soul, and the person dying looks to his
left and right and sees Angels everywhere. The angels of mercy come
to a Muslim and for the infidels the angels of punishment appear. At
this time even the infidels believe the truth about Islam, but their
faith is at this time is not counted. This is because faith is the
name of believing the message of Allah and his beloved Messenger
without seeing proof, and at this time one sees the angels and then
believes and this is therefore not accepted as a Muslim. A Muslim's
soul is taken out with ease and is then taken with respect by the
angels of mercy. An infidel's soul is taken out with great pain and
the angels of punishment take it with disgrace. After death the soul
does not go into another body and is
then reborn, but upto the day of
judgement stays in the world of 'barzakh' meaning the interval
between death and resurrection. To believe that the soul goes into
another human body or an animal's body or into trees or plants etc.
and is known as reincarnation is wrong and is Kufr.
What is death ?
When the soul comes out of the body, this is
known as death. However, the soul does not disintegrate but remains
in the world of 'barzakh'.
Where does the soul
remain after death ?
According to faith and deeds performed, a
different place is fixed for the soul to remain. Until the day of
resurrection it stays in that place. Some stay underneath the 'Ursh'
(above the skies), some remain at 'Aala eliyyeen' (the highest
point), some remain at the well of Zam Zam, some remain in their
grave. The souls of infidels are imprisoned. Some are imprisoned in
the well of 'Barhoot', some in 'Sajeen' (the lowest point in Earth),
some at their place of cremation or burial.
Does the soul die ?
In any situation the soul does not die or
disintegrate but remains unchanged. Whatever it's position and
whatever it's state is, it always remains connected to the body. If
the body has pain it also feels the pain. If the body is relaxed,
the soul is also relaxed. When someone visits the grave, it sees the
person and recognises them and listens to what they are saying. In
relation to the Muslim's soul it is stated in the Hadith Sharif that
when a Muslim dies, it's path is opened and it can go wherever it
pleases. Hazrat Shah Abdul Aziz writes that there is no such thing
as near and far for a soul, but all places are equal.
The death of a soul and
it's condition
Those who believe that the soul can die and
disintegrate is a 'bud mazhab' meaning from a deviated sect. The
dead also speaks. It's voice is heard by animals etc. except for
normal humans and Jinn.
The tightening of the
grave
After burial, the grave tightens up and
presses the dead. It presses the Muslim like a mother holds a child.
It presses the infidel to the extent of crushing them, like the left
side bones end up on the right side. When the people leave after
burial, the dead hears the footsteps.
What are Munkar Nakkeer
like and what do they ask?
At that time two angels called 'Munkar and
Nakeer' come ripping through the earth, their faces look very
fearful and scary. Their body is black, eyes green and black and
very large in size popping out like the Jinn's eyes and made of
fire. Their hair is very scary and long from head to toe, their
teeth are very long with which they rip through the earth. They wake
up the dead shaking and rattling them. They ask with great strength
with a deep voice these three questions;
- "MAN RABBUKA" meaning
'Who is your lord'?
- "MAA DEENUKA" meaning
'what is your religion' ?
- "MAA KUNTA TAQUL FEE HAZAR
RAJL" meaning 'What did you used to say about this person'?
If the dead is a Muslim he will reply as
follows;
- "RABBUNALLAH" my lord is
Allah,
- "DEENIL ISLAM" my
religion is Islam,
- "HUWA RASOOLULLAHE SALLALHO
ALAIHI WASSALLAM" This is Allah's Messenger, He has been
embraced with Allah's mercy, greeting to Him.
Now a voice from the skies will be heard
saying "My servant has said the truth, lay the tablecloth of
paradise for him, give him clothes from paradise to wear and open
the doors of paradise (Jannat) for him. The cool air and the sweet
fragrance of Jannat will continue to come and wherever the eyesight
can reach the grave will be made wide and large. Angels will say
"sleep like a groom sleeps". All this will be for the good pious
Muslims. For the sinful, their will be punishment according to their
sins. This punishment will continue for a time then from the prayers
of the pious or from 'Eesaal-e-Sawab' (good acts performed by people
for the dead's forgiveness) or from prayers for their forgiveness or
simply from the mercy of Allah this punishment will stop. Then there
will be relaxation.
If the dead is an infidel/Kafir,
then he will not be able to answer the questions and will say "HAA
HAA LA ADRI" meaning 'shame for I know nothing'. Now a caller
will shout "He is a liar, lay the table cloth of fire for him, and
give him clothes of fire to wear and open the doors of hell (Dozakh)
for him, from which the heat of hell will reach him . There will be
two angels allocated to him to give him punishment and will hit him
with great big hammers. He will also be bitten by big scorpions and
snakes. All different kinds of punishment will continue until the
day of resurrection.
Notice - who will not be
asked questions in the grave
The Prophets will not be asked questions in
the graves nor will their graves tighten. Many followers will also
not be asked the questions, like those Muslims who die on Friday or
in the month of Ramadan' The situation of relaxation and punishment
in the grave is a fact. This punishment or reward is for both the
body and the soul. Whether the body disintegrates or burns or mixes
in the soil, it's original parts remains until the day of
resurrection. It will have reward or punishment and on the day of
judgement it will be reformed back to a body. These original parts
are actually situated in the spine and cannot be seen by humans nor
are they eaten by the soil and nor can they be burned. These are the
seeds of the body and from theseAllah joins the rest of the parts of
the body, which have been spread by either being turned into ashes
or soil and are reformed into the original body. The soul then comes
back into that body and is presented in the field of resurrection.
This day is known as 'Hashr'. This also re-iterates the point that
the souls go back to the same body that they belong to and by
burning the body or by the body disintegrating it does not disappear
but is recreated from it's original seeds, and therefore a whole new
replacement body is not created but the original is recreated, and
all the changes does not affect it. For example, when a child is
born and then a person grows up becomes a teenager and then becomes
a man, but after all these changes the person is the same, a new
person does not appear. The person knows that ten years ago it was
me and it is still me, all these changes haven't made a new person
and every person understands this about themselves and about others.
Where a person has buried or has
been left to rot, the questions will be asked there and the
punishment will occur there. Like, if a tiger has eaten a person,
the questions will be asked inside the tiger's stomach, and the
punishment and reward will also happen there. A person who rejects
the fact of the punishment and reward of the grave is a misguided
person.
Who's body cannot be
eaten by the soil
Rule:
Prophets, Walis (friends of Allah), Martyrs, A
Hafiz of the Quran who also acts upon the instructions of the Holy
Quran, a person who has never committed a sin and those who pray the
Durood Sharif at all times, their bodies are not eaten by the soill.
Those who say that the Prophet's bodies "have died and eaten by the
soil" is a misguided, from the wrong sect, evil and an insulting
person.
THE COMING OF
QAYAMAT (DESTRUCTION DAY) AND SOME SIGNS
One day all teh world, humans, animals,
jinn, angels, earth, skies and whatever that is in them will be
finished. Except for Allah there will be
nothing left. This is known as the coming of 'Qayamat'. Before the
coming of Qayamat. there will be some signs that will appear Out of
which, we write some of them here.
- Khasf meaning that there will be
three places where the earth will open up and men will be buried
alive. One in the west, one in the east and one in Arabia.
- The knowledge of religion will
go, meaning the Ulema (scholars of religion)will be taken away.
- There will be a large
exploitation of illiteracy.
- There will be great use of
alcohol and adultery. In such a shameful extent that it will be as
common as donkeys eating grass.
- There will be less male and more
females. The ratio will be fifty women compared to one man.
- There will be a lot of goods.
- In Arabia there will be green
scenery such as green crops parks and streams. The streams will
open it's treasures and there will be mountains of gold.
- Men will listen to their women
and not their parents They will stay in close contact with their
friends and stay away fromtheir parents
- There will be great use of
music.
- People will curse their
ancestors and speak ill of them.
- The wrongdoers and non-capable
will be made leaders.
- Degraded people who could not
find cheap clothing, will own large mansions.
- People will scream and shout in
mosques.
- To stay in Islam will be so
difficult as it is difficult to hold hot ash in the hand. Upto the
extent that a person will go the cemetery and wish that they were
in that grave.
- There will be no quality in
time. A year will be like a month. A month will be like a week. A
week will be like a day A day will be like as if an item has
caught fire and quickly turns into ash, meaning time will go very
fast.
- Savaqe animals will speak to
humans. The point of a whip, the heel of a shoe will speak
dialogue and will tell you what has happened in the home. In fact
a person's thigh will inform him.
- The sun will rise from the west.
At this point, the doors of repentance will close. One can no
longer bring faith into Islam.
- Except for the big 'Dajjal'
(impostor), there will be thirty other impostors who will all
claim to be Prophets. Where in fact Prophecy has finished. There
will be no other Prophet after our Prophet Hazrat Muhammad
Mustapha Sallallaho Alaihi Sallam. Out of these impostors there
have already been some, for example, Musslimiyya Kizzab, Taleeha
Bin Khuwild, Asood Ansi,
- Mirza Ali Muhammad Baab, Mirza
Ali Hussain Baha'ullah, Mirza Gulam Ahmed Qadyani etc and those
that are left will certainly come.
EXPOSING OF
THE DAJJAL
The characteristics of
Dajjal and his actions
Dajjal will have only one
eye. He will claim to be the lord. On his head the letters K, F, R,
(Kaaf, Feh, Reh) will be written, meaning Kafir (infidel), and this
will be read by all Muslims, but it will not be seen by the
infidels. He will travel very fast. In forty days he will travel all
the world except 'Harmain Sharifain' (the two holy mosques in Makkah
and Madinah). Within these forty days the first day will be the
length of one year, the second day will be the length of one month,
the third will be the length of one week and the rest will each be
twenty four hours long. His mischief will be very demanding. He will
have with him, one garden and one place of fire. He will call these
Jannat and Dozakh and wherever he goes he will take them with him.
His Jannat will really be fire and his Dozakh will really be a place
for rest. He will order people to believe him as the lord. Whoever
believes him as the lord he will put them into his Jannat. and
whoever rejects him, he will throw them into his Dozakh. He will
bring back to life the dead. He will make rainfall. He will order
the earth and it will grow crops. He will go into areas of
desolation. The treasures of these areas will be with him like bees
are with flowers. He will show all kinds of miracles like these,
which really will be nothing but magic and illusions. Really there
will be nothing with him and that is why when he disappears
everything will disappear with him and people with have nothing.
When he will want to go to 'Harmain Sharifain' the angels will force
his face to another direction. He will have a whole army of Jews
with him.
DESCENDING
FROM THE SKY OF HAZRAT EISA/JESUS
When Dajjal completes
travelling the whole world and goes to Syria, Hazrat Eisa (Jesus)
will descend from the sky and arrive in the Jamia Mosque in Damascus
on the east minaret. The time will be morning. The Iqamat of Fajr
Namaz will have been called. Hazrat Eisa Alaihis Salaam will order
Hazrat Imam Mehdi (may Allah be pleased with him) to lead the
congregation of Namaz i.e. be the Imam. Hazrat Imam Mehdi will
perform the Namaz. The cursed Dajjal will start melting from the
beautiful fragrance given from Hazrat Eisa's breath, just like salt
starts melting with water. The fragrant smell of Hazrat Eisa's
breath will reach as far as one's sight can see. Dajjal will run
away. Hazrat Eisa will follow him and will stab him in the back with
a spear. With this he will join hell. Then Hazrat Eisa Alaihi Salaam
will break the cross. He will also slaughter the pig. All the Jewish
and Christian children will bring faith upon him. At this time there
will only be one religion and that will be Islam, and there will be
only one sect and that will be Ahl-e-Sunnat. The children will play
with snakes, both tigers and goats will eat on the same patch.
Hazrat Eisa will marry and will have children. He will stay in this
world for forty years and then pass away, He will be buried in the
Holy Prophet's shrine next to the beloved Prophet.
HAZRAT IMAM
MEHDI BECOMING APPARENT
Hazrat Imam Mehdi will be
from the descendant of the Holy Prophet and a 'Hasani' Sayyed. He
will be an Imam and a leader. Close to Qayamat when infidelity will
spread to the whole world and the only place that Islam will be left
will be 'Harmain Sharifain'. All the great Aulia (friends of Allah)
and pious scholars will emigrate there. It will be the month of
Ramadan and the pious will be performing Tawaf of the Holy Ka'aba
and Hazrat Imam Mehdi will also be present there. The Aulia will
recognise him. They will request his guidance and he will refuse
them. A voice will come from the unseen "Haza Khalifatullaha
Mehdi Fasma'oolahoo Wa Atee'a'oo" meaning 'This is Allah's
Caliph Mehdi, listen to him and obey his orders'. All the people
will take oath from his hand and then Hazrat Imam Mehdi will take
all the people and come to Syria.
YAJOOZ -
MAJOOZ BECOMING APPARENT
This is actually a tribe and
are from the children of Yafis Bin Nooh Alaihi Salaam and it's
quantity is large. They used to cause destruction on earth. They
used to come out in spring and used to eat every green thing. They
used to take away every dry thing. They used to eat humans and also
wild beasts, snakes, scorpions were all eaten. Hazrat Zulkarnain
made a wall of iron and enclosed them in it. When after slaughtering
Dajjal, Hazrat Eisa Alaihi Salaam takes all the Muslims to the
mountain of 'KoheToor', then these Yajooz - Majooz will break the
wall and come out. They will cause great destruction on earth. They
cause rampage, looting, murder etc. Then with the prayer of Hazrat
Eisa, Allah Ta'ala will finish them off.
DA'BATOL ARDH
BECOMING APPARENT
This is an astonishing type
of animal. It will come out from the mountain of Safa and will
travel the whole world in great speed. It will speak clear, fluent
Arabic. In it's hands, it will have the stick of Hazrat Moosa and
the ring of Hazrat Suleman. With the stick it will stamp the
foreheads of all Muslims with a shining mark, and with the ring it
will stamp the foreheads of all infidels with a dark black mark. At
this point all Muslims and infidels will be clearly identified and
recognised. These signs will not change, whoever is an infidel will
never be able to become a Muslim and whoever is a Muslim will never
lose faith.
WHO WILL
QAYAMAT BE FOR ?
After the passing away of Hazrat Eisa and
when there will be only forty years to go for Qayamat. A cold wind
will pass underneath everybody's armpits and it's effect will be
that all the souls of Muslims will be extracted and only infidels
will remain. Qayamat will come for these infidels. With all the
signs that have been mentioned, some have become apparent and others
are yet to become apparent.
When And How Will Qavamat
Come ?
Qayamat will come when all the signs become
apparent and the cold sweet wind has gone through everybody and all
the Muslims have passed away. There will be only infidels remaining,
and the remaining forty years where no-one will have children, i.e.
everyone will be over the age of forty. There will be no one in the
world who will say the word Allah anymore. Each and individual
person will be doing their day to day duties. Someone will be
building a wall, someone will be eating and then with the one and
only order of Allah, Hazrat Israfeel Alaihi Salaam will blow the
Soor (horn). The sound of the horn will first of all be very faint,
then it will start getting sharper and sharper. People will listen
to the sound with great concentration and then they will become
unconscious and then die. Then the skies, the ground, the sea, the
mountains and even the Soor and Hazrat Israfeel together with all
the angels will be finished. At this time except for Allah alone,
there wilt be no one left. After this when Allah wishes, he will
bring back to life Hazrat Israfeel Alaihi Salaam and re-create the
Soor, and order Hazrat Israfeel to blow it again. As soon as the
Soor is blown all the people from the beginning to the end, all the
angels, humans, jinn, animals will become alive again. People will
start coming out of their graves and their Aamal- Naama meaning
'book of deeds' will given to them in their hands and will all start
going to the field of Hashr. They will then stand and wait for their
judgement and fate. The ground will be made of copper. The sun will
be glowing in full strength and will be just above people's heads.
With the extreme heat, people's brains will start boiling and their
tongues will become as dry as thorns and many will drop out of their
mouths. People will sweat tremendously, some will sweat upto their
ankles, some will sweat upto their knees and some will sweat upto
their faces. Depending upon their deeds, they will suffer. The sweat
will also be giving off a foul stench. There will be great delay
just in this position. The day will be equivalent to fifty thousand
years, and half of the time will go by in this situation. People
will start looking for an intercessor who can relieve them of this
problem and a quick decision can be made. All the people will take
advice and go to Hazrat Adam Alaihi Salaam first. He will say go to
Hazrat Nooh, who will say go to Hazrat Ibrahim. who will say go to
Hazrat Moosa, who will send everybody to Hazrat Eisa. Hazrat Eisa
will. send everybody to our Master Hazrat Muhammad Mustapha
Sallallaho Alaihi Wasallam. When the people go to our Huzoor and
request him to intercede, our beloved Prophet will say "I agree and
am prepared to do this". He will then perform prostration in the
holy court of Allah. Allah will say :0h Muhammad Alaihi Salaam, lift
your head, say and it will be listened, ask and it will be given,
and perform intercession and it will be accepted. Now the judgement
and accounting will begin. The deeds will be weighed in the 'scales
of deeds' called Meezan-e-Amal. Your own hands, feet and other parts
will give witness against you. The part of the ground where a
particular action took place will also be prepared to give witness
against you. there will be no friends or helpers. A father will not
help his son. nor will a son help his father. All the deeds will be
unveiled. All the deeds that have been done will be in front of you.
You will not be able to deny a sin nor will you be able to find a
reward. In this very difficult and appalling situation, Huzoor the
light, the love of Allah, Hazrat Muhammad Mustapha Sallallaho Alaihi
Wassallam will help. He will perform intercession for his believers.
Different forms of
intercession
The Holy Prophet's intercession will be in
many different forms. Many people with the intercession of the Holy
Prophet will go into Jannat (Paradise) without being judged. Many
people who should have been in Dozakh (Hell) will be saved from
going into Dozakh with the assistance of the Holy Prophet's
intercession. Those sinful Muslims who will have reached Dozakh will
come back out with the assistance of the intercession of the Holy
Prophet. The Holy Prophet will perform intercession for the
Jannatees and raise their grades.
Who else will perform
intercession
Except for the Holy Prophet, the rest of the
Prophets, the Sahhabis (companions of the Holy Prophet), the Ulema
(Islamic scholars), the Walis (friends of Allah), the martyrs, the
Huffaz-e-Quran (One who has learnt the Quran off by heart and
follows it's orders) and the Hujjaz (those who have had their
pilgrimage accepted by Allah) will all also perform intercession.
People will remind their Ulema, deeds that are in connection with
them, if someone gave water to an Alim to perform Wuzu (ablution)
then he will remind them of it and ask for intercession in return,
and they will then perform intercession for him.
This day of Qayamat
which will be equivalent to fifty thousand years long and it's
difficulties will be too much to withstand, but it will be made so
light for the Prophets, Aulia and the pious, as the same time it
takes to pray a Farz Namaz. For some it will be even less,
equivalent to a blinker of the eyelid the whole day will finish. The
biggest gift that Muslims will be given that day will be seeing
Allah himself. You have been presented so far in short detail the
details of Hashr, after this people will go to their forever
destination or home. Some will have a home of rest, where there will
be no limit of pleasure and happiness, and this is known as Jannat.
Some people will go to the home of torture. Where there is no limit
to torture and pain, and this is known as Dozakh or Jahannam. Jannat
(paradise) and Dozakh (hell) are facts and those who reject it are
Kafirs. Both Jannat and Dozakh have been made and are present at the
moment, it is not so that they will be created after the day of
resurrection. Qayamat (the day of destruction), Hashr (the day of
resurrection), Sawab (reward), Azaab (sin), Jannat (Paradise) and
Dozakh (hell) are all true as they are believed by Muslims.
Therefore, those who believe them as facts but have a different
definition for them. for example, to say that reward means to be
happy when seeing your good deeds, and sin means to be sad when
seeing your bad deeds, and Hashr will be only for souls not the body
etc. then this is really rejecting all the above and therefore are
rejecters and those who are rejectors are Kafirs. Qayamat will
definitely happen and those who reject this belief are also Kafirs.
Hashr will be for both souls and bodies, those who say only the
souls will wake up the body will not come back to life are also
Kafirs/infidels. Whichever soul belonged to whichever body will be
reconnected, it is not true that a new body will be created and the
soul will be put into that. If all the parts of the body after death
have
Something is missing here
MUQAM-E-MEHMOOD
Allah Ta'ala will give his
beloved Prophet Muhammad Salallaho Alaihi Wasallam Muqam-e-Mehmood
(Grade of praise). This is where the people from before and after
him will praise him. (Will speak highly of him).
LIWA'UL HAMD
This is a flag which will be
given to our master Hazrat Muhammad Salallaho Alaihi Wasallam. Under
this all the Muslims from Hazrat Adam Alaihi Salaam to the day of
Qayamat will gather, Prophets, Walis etc. etc.
JANNAT
-PARADISE
Jannat is a very large and
very beautiful place. It has been made by Allah Ta'ala for Muslims.
It's walls have been made of bricks of gold and silver and it's
cement is made of musk. The ground is made of saffron and ambergris
(a wax like substance). Instead of stones there will be diamonds and
pearls. To house the residents of Jannat, there are mansions and
large conservatories made of pearls, diamonds and beautiful
jewellery. Each level is as large in breadth as the sky to the
ground. It's doors are so wide that a fast horse would have to run
seventy years to get from one side to another. There will be so many
gifts in Jannat that you would not dream or think about. There will
be different types of fruits, milk. honey, wine (sweet smelling non
alcoholic) and other nice types of food. Jannatees will be given
clothes so beautiful that no-one in this world will have ever had
fate to wear. For assistance, thousands of clean, pure servants will
be available and for company, beautiful "Hoorehs" (princesses) whose
beauty will be so much that if one actually looked towards this
world the people just by looking at her beauty and shining face
would become unconscious. As for health, you will never sleep, nor
will you ever become ill nor will anyone ever have a worry or nor
will you ever die. There will never be any sort of difficulties, in
fact there will be every type of rest and ever desire will be
fulfilled. The biggest gift of all will be to see Allah Ta'ala.
DOZAKH/JAHANNAM
- HELL
This is also a place where
there is complete darkness and strong black fire, which has no shine
to it and this place has been made for the sinners and the infidels
to live. The infidels will be imprisoned here forever. It's fire
will continue to get hotter. The fire of hell is so strong that if a
pinpoint of it was thrown into this world every single person would
die from it's heat. If one of the guards of hell came to this world.
people would ail die just by seeing his frightening face, no one
would survive. The Jahannamees will be given many different types of
punishment. Big snakes and scorpions will bite. People will have
their heads crushed by big hammers. People will suffer from extreme
hunger and thirst. They will be given boiling hot oil type of water
to drink and poisonous thorny fruits to eat. When they eat this
fruit it will get stuck in the throat, and to wash it down they will
ask for water and will be given the boiling hot water. When drinking
this water all their insides will break and wash away. The thirst
will be so extreme that when drinking this water the lips will
crumble away. The infidels will become so helpless from this
punishment that they will wish for death, but it will not come. They
will ask for each others advice and go to the guard of hell 'Hazrat
Malik', and ask him to tell the lord of their conclusion. Hazrat
Malik will not reply to them for a thousand years. After a thousand
years he will reply "what are you telling me for, tell him whom you
have disobeyed". Then for a thousand years they will call Allah by
his merciful names, and for a thousand years he will not reply.
After a thousand years he will reply "stay away, remain in hell, do
not talk to me". At this time the infidels will become completely
hopeless of any kind of mercy and will start screaming and crying
like a sound of donkeys. First they will cry with tears, then when
the tears finish they will cry with tears of blood. From the effects
of crying they will leave big gaping gaps in their cheeks. The
amount of water and pus from crying will be so much that if boats
were put into them they would start sailing. The face of Jahannamees
will be so bad that if a Jahannamee was brought into this world, all
the people would die by looking at his face and from the foul
stench. Finally foi' infidels the situation will be that for every
infidel a coffin will be prepared for them to the length of their
height, and then they will be put into this coffin. The it will be
set on fire and it will be locked with a padlock of fire. It will be
then be put inside a larger coffin also made of fire and the gap
between will be set on fire. A padlock with chains will also be put
around it made of fire. It will then be put into another coffin and
the then also set on fire and again will be locked with a lock of
fire. All this will be then put into a bonfire. Then all infidels
will think that they will never be able to withstand any other heat
and this punishment is above all punishment, and there will always
be punishment for them and will never finish. When all Jannatees
reach Jannat and all Jahannamees that are in Jahannam are to remain
there forever, reach Jahannam, then between Jannat and Dozakh
'death' will be brought in the shape of a ram. Then a caller will
call the people of Jannat and they will look in worry thinking that
maybe we might be ordered out of here. Then the caller will call the
Jahannamees and they will come happily thinking we might be ordered
out of this painful place. Then the caller will ask "Do you
recognise this ?" Everyone will reply "Yes, this is death". Then the
ram will be slaughtered and he will say "Oh those in Jannat, you are
there forever and there will be no death, and you in Dozakh, you are
there forever, there will be no death". At this point there will be
happiness on top of happiness for the Jannatees and Sadness on too
of sadness for the Jahannamees.
IMAAN AND
KUFR - FAITH AND INFIDELITY
What is Imaan-Faith ?
Faith/lmaan is to listen to what Allah and
his Messenger has stated and to believe it true in your heart.
What is Kufr/infidelity
If you reject one aspect which you know that
to believe is part of Islam then this is Kufr. Like, to reject,
Qayamat, Angels, Jannat, Dozakh, Hisab, or not to believe that Namaz,
Roza, Zakat, Hajj is Farz (obligatory). It is also Kufr not to
believe that the Holy Quran is the words of Allah. To insult the
holy Ka'aba, the holy Quran, or any of the Prophets or Angels is
also Kufr. To degrade any of the Sunnats (actions of the Holy
Prophet), to make jokes of the orders of Shariat (Islamic law) or to
reject or suspect it untrue any known and recognised aspects of
Islam is also definitely Kufr/infidelity. To be a Muslim you have
to, together with faith and belief also pledge your status as a
Muslim. One must pledge his faith unless there is a difficulty, for
example, you cannot speak, or to speak would mean to lose your life
or would lose a part of the body, then it is not necessary to pledge
your faith with your tongue. In fact one can state things against
Islam if their life is at risk. However, it is always best and
reward not to say anything against Islam even to save your life.
Except for this exception, whenever there is something that is
submitted against Islam then they will be recognised as a Kafir.
Whether you say that I was only saying it with my tongue but really
did not believe it in my heart it will still be recognised as Kufr.
Also to perform actions which are signs of Kufr then if you perform
them you will be recognised as a Kafir/infidel. For example, to wear
a 'Janeo' (a sacred thread worn by Hindus), or to have a lock of
hair (plats for men) the same as Buddhists have, or to wear a cross
are all actions of Kufr.
What aspects makes a
person a Muslim
For a person to become a Muslim it
is necessary for them to believe Islam as the true religion and does
not reject any of it's necessary aspects, and also does not have
beliefs contradictory or against the religion's necessary aspects (Zaroriyaat-e-Deen).
Whether the person does not have the knowledge about all the
religion's necessary aspect, i.e. even if he is a complete and utter
illiterate he must believe in Islam and in the messenger of Islam
and not have any beliefs against the necessary aspects of Islam (Zarooriyat-e-Deen).
Whether he cannot pray the Kalima (submission into Islam) properly
he is still a Muslim and not a Kafir. Thferefore, if he misses Namaz,
Roza, Hajj etc. he will be a grave sinner but will remain a Muslim.
This is because deeds are not a part of faith.
Belief: Whatever is without doubt Haram (forbidden) and to
believe it as Halal (allowed), and to believe something Haram which
is no doubt Halal is Kufr. when there is no suspicion of a
particular thing being Halal or Haram or the person knows this.
What is Shirk -
Polytheism
Shirk (Polytheism) is to believe someone
else as lord except Allah or to believe someone worthy of worship
except Allah. This is the worst
type of infidelity. Except for this, regardless of how strong the
infidelity is, it is not truly shirk. There will be no forgiveness
for any type of Kufr/infidelity. Except for Kufr, all other sins are
at the will of Allah, whatever he wishes, he will forgive.
Belief: To perform a large sin a Muslim does not become an
infidel, but remains a Muslim. If he dies without performing
repentance then he will still obtain Jannat. whether it will be
after fulfilling his punishment or gaining forgiveness. This
forgiveness may be obtained at the mercy of Allah's will or from the
intercession of the Holy Prophet.
Rule : The order of
someone asking for forgiveness for an Infidel
Whoever performs a prayer of forgiveness for
a dead infidel, or calls an infidel as a forgiven or a Jannatee. or
if someone calls a dead Hindu a 'Bekanth Baashi (Jannatee)are
themselves an infidel.
Belief: To believe a Muslim as a Muslim and to believe an
infidel as an infidel is necessary. A particular person's reality of
being an infidel or a Muslim cannot be fully known until it is
proven according to Shariat that on what state their death had come,
meaning whether he has died on infidelity or died on Islam. However,
this do^s not mean that whoever has performed definitive Kufr, then
to be suspicious of his Kufr, because for someone to have suspicion
of a person who has performed definitive Kufr is to become a Kafir
himself. This is because the action of Shariat is done on what is
seen to be the case, however, on the day of Hashr the real person's
beliefs will be known. The best way to see this is that if a
infidel, Christian, Jew or Hindu dies then one cannot say with
complete confidence that this person has died as a Kafir, but the
order of Allah and his Messenger for us is that we believe his as a
Kafir and to treat him like a Kafir. The same way is if a person is
a known Muslim and he hasn't said or performed anything against the
basic necessities of Islam, then it is obligatory for us to believe
him as a Muslim. Whether we are unaware of what status he died at.
Belief: There is no third grade instead of infidelity or
Islam. Meaning you cannot have a person who is not an infidel nor a
Muslim, he must be either a Muslim or an infidel.
Belief: A Muslim will always remain in Jannat and will not be
evicted, An infidel will always remain in Dozakh and will never come
out.
Belief: To perform prostration as a form of worship to anyone
except Allah is Kufr, and for respect it is Haram (strictly
forbidden).
What is Bi'dat ? -
innovation in religion
Whatever action is not proven
by the Prophet is known as Bi'dat (innovation in religion). There
are two types of Bi'dat. Bi'dat-e-Hasana. and Bi'dat-e-Sayyia.
Bi'dat-e-Hasana is that where it is not against or contradicts a
Sunnat. Like, to build mosques from concrete or bricks, or to write
the Holy Quran in golden letters, To perform intention with the
tongue, to learn knowledge of Kalaam, Sarf and Nahoo (all Arabic
grammar), to learn knowledge of astronomy, to learn knowledge of
pure mathematics or trigonometry or to preach all this knowledge. It
is also Bi'dat-e-Hasana to build education houses (Madressas) like
we do today, to perform functions as we do today and to five out
certificates and perform occasions like 'Dastaar Bandi' etc. There
are thousands of things like these which were not present during the
time of the Holy Prophet. They are all Bi'dat-e-Hasana and in fact
some are now necessary (Wajib), like to pray Tarawih as Hazrat
Farooque-e-Azam (May Allah be pleased with him) stated "Ne'matil
Bidatoo Haazihee.." meaning this is a good Bi'dat. Bi'dat Siyyia
Qabiha is that innovation that is against a Sunnat or contradicts a
Sunnat and this is either Makrooh (disliked) or Haram (strictly
forbidden).
IMAMAT AND
KHILAFAT -LEADERSHIP AND CALIPH
There are two types of Imamats, Imamat Sugra
and Imamat Kubra. Imamat Sugra is the Imamat that is performed in
Namaz and will be explained in the Namaz section.
Qualifiers for Imamat
Kubra
Imamat Kubra is in relation to representing
the Messenger of Allah Sallallaho Alaihi Wasallam. Meaning with
representation of the Holy Prophet Sallallaho Alaihi Wasallam, to
interrogate all of the Muslim's social or religious affairs and to
have the power to do so. Also to have the power to ensure all the
worlds Muslims follow him in the matter of non-disobedience. To have
this Imamat it is necessary that one has the following qualifiers;
He is a Muslim, is free i.e. not a slave, male, sane, adult,
belonging to the tribe of Quraish, one who has power. It is not
necessary for one to be from the family of the Holy Prophet i.e.
Hashmi or from the family of Hazrat Ali i.e. AIwi or to be Ma'soom
(immune from sin), it is also not necessary that one has to be the
most virtuous from their nation.
Rule: When is it
obligatory to obey the Imam
It is obligatory on all
Muslims to obey the Imam when his orders are not against Shariat
(Islamic Law), because, one cannot anybody's orders if they are
against Shariat. An Imam should be made only if he is courageous,
politician and an Islamic scholar (Alim) or works with the help of
Ulema.
Rule: A female or child's Imamat is not allowed. An Imam is
not dismissed if he involves himself with sin.
KHULAFA-E-RAASHIDEEN - PIOUS CALIPHS
After the Holy Prophet Sallallaho Alaihi
Wasailam his true Caliphs and related Imam is Hazrat
Abubakr.Siddique (May Allah be pleased with him). After him it is
Hazrat Umar Farooque (May Allah be pleased with him). Then it is
Hazrat Usman (May Allah be pleased with him). After him it is Hazrat
Ali (May Allah be pleased with him) and then Hazrat Imam Hasan (May
Allah be pleased with him). These leader's Khilafat is known as
Raashida (Pious) because these great Sahhabis (companions) gave true
representation of the Holy Prophet.
Belief: The length of
Khilafat Raashida
The true pious Khilafat as per the
traditions of the Holy Prophet lasted thirty years. Meaning it
finished after six months of true Khilafat performed by Hazrat Imam
Hasan (May Allah be pleased with him). Then the leader of Muslims
Umar Bin Abdul Aziz performed the pious Khilafat, and Hazrat Imam
Mehdi (May Allah be pleased with him) will perform true Khilafat in
the final era. Hazrat Amir Ma'awiya was the first king in Islam.
[Takmeelul Iman, Wa Kamal Ibne Hamam]
Belief: Who is the most
virtuous of Caliphs.
After the Prophets, and out
of all of Allah's creations including Jinn, Humans, Angels, the most
virtuous is Hazrat Abubakr Siddique, then Hazrat Farooque Azam, then
Hazrat Usman Gani, then Hazrat Maula Ali (May Allah be pleased with
them). Whoever believes that Hazrat Ali is more virtuous than Hazrat
Abubakr (May Allah be pleased with him) or Hazrat Farooque (May
Allah be pleased with him) is a misguided person and from a bad
sect.
COMPANIONS OF
THE PROPHET AND HIS FAMILY
Who is a Sahhabi
Sahhabi (companion) is that Muslim who has
assisted in the holy court of the Prophet (in the Holy Prophet's
presence) and has passed away from this world with faith. All
Sahhabis are of praise and are pious and are also sincere in their
Islamic Judgement and the same for their Islamic actions. When their
is talk of a Sahhabi, it is compulsory that it be with praise.
Belief: To have bad beliefs for any of the Sahhabis is mis-guidance
and belonging to the wrong sect. To speak ill of the dignity of
Hazrat Amir Ma'awiya. Hazrat Amr Bin Aas. Hazrat Wahshi etc is to
curse them and this is a Shi'ite belief. To insult Hazrat Shaikhain
(Hazrat Abubakr and Hazrat Farooque Azam) or to reject their
position as Caliphs is according to Islamic lawyers, infidelity.
Belief: Regardless of how high a rank of a Wali is, they
would never reach the grade of a Sahhabi. The battle between Hazrat
Ali (May Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Amir Ma'awiya (May
Allah be pleased with him) was a mistake in the interpretation of
Islamic law and therefore is not a sin. Therefore, to call Hazrat
Amir Ma'awiya cruel, treacherous, etc., is all strictly forbidden
and not allowed and is in fact a curse and the person is a Shi'ite.
Who is Ahl-e-Bait (the
Holy Prophet's immediate family)
Ahl-e-Bait is the Holy
Prophet's wives and children. Just like the Sahhabis, there has been
a lot of virtuous verses and Hadiths for them. To love the Sahhabis
and Ahl-e-Bait is to love the Holy Prophet Sallallaho Alaihi
Wasallam.
Belief. To accuse the mother of all Muslims Hazrat Aisha
Siddiqua (May Allah be pleased with her) with adultery is definitely
Kufr and is an apostate. [Shara-e-Aquaid, Wa takmeel, Wa Hindiya
etc]
Belief: Hazraat - Hasnain (Imam Hasan and Hussain) are of the
highest grade of martyrs. Those who reject any of their Martyrdoms
is a misguided person and from a bad sect.
Belief: Those who call Hazrat Imam Hussain (May Allah be
pleased with him) a traitor or show Yazid as correct is a rejected
person and a Kharji and therefore rightful of the fire of hell.
There is no doubt in Yazid being wrong, however, do not call Yazid a
Kafir or call him a Muslim, but remain quiet.
Belief: Those who do not love the Sahhabis or Ahl-e-Bait is a
misguided person and from the wrong sect.
Rule: To get involved in the details of disagreements between
the Sahhabis is forbidden and strictly forbidden. To hold them
against their mistakes or because of this, blame them or show them
as no longer evident on faith is not allowed and is against the
order of Allah or his Messenger.
WILAAYAT -
FRIENDSHIP OF ALLAH
Wali is a pious Muslim who due to his
knowledge and closeness to Allah has been given a specific position.
Usually this grade is given after strictly following the Shariat and
also devotion and worship. It is however, given sometimes from birth
and therefore without devotion and effort. Out of all the Aulia, the
highest grade is held by the Calipha-e-Raashideen. There have been
Aulia in every era and will always be in every era, however, their
recognition is difficult. Allah have given the Aulia great strength,
whoever asks for their help is given that help even though they may
be a great distance away. There knowledge is extensive, upto the
extent that many give information of 'Makaana Wamaayakoon' (what has
happened and what will happen) and on 'Lo'he Mahfooz'. After death
their power and strength increases. To visit their shrines is to
gain virtue, prosperity and blessing. To present them with
Eesaal-e-Sawab is a very good thing and a way of gaining blessings.
To perform the 'Urs' (death anniversary) of Aulia-e-Kiram, meaning
every year to pray the Quran, perform Fatiha, speech ceremony,
Eesaal-e-Sawab are all good things and are worthy of reward.
However, as regard to bad acts and non allowable actions like,
dance, music, group acts etc. are all sinful deeds and are even more
sinful when performed near shrines.
What qualifications are
necessary for a Peer
To become followers of Aulia and to become
involved with them is a worthy action to gain reward in both worlds,
it is therefore necessary for these four qualifying aspects to be
necessary in a Peer, for one to perform Bai'at (take oath).
- They must be a Sunni with the
correct beliefs, otherwise you may actually lose your faith.
- He must have enough knowledge so
that he can complete his necessary actions by looking at books,
otherwise he will no be able to differentiate between forbidden
and acceptable, allowed and not allowed.
- He must not be a Fasiq
(wrongdoer, one who does not follow Shariat) as it is necessary to
disrespect a Fasiq and it is important to respect a Peer.
- His tree of virtue must be
connected to the Holy Prophet otherwise he will not gain virtue
from the top.
TAQLEED - THE
FOLLOWING OF THE FOUR IMAMS
Taqleed, meaning to follow one of the four
Imams of religion in orders of Islamic law (Shariat), i.e. Imam Azam
Abu Hanifa, Imam Malik, Shafa'ee or Imam Hambal and to pray Namaz as
per their way or perform Roza, Zakat etc. is necessary (Wajib) to
follow one of them and is known as Taqieed Shakhshi.
Notice: These Imams have not made a rule on their own accord
but have explained the meaning of the Quran and Hadith which a
normal person or even an Alim could not understand. Therefore to
follow these Imams is really following the Quran and Hadith.
Rule: Whoever follows one Imam, cannot follow another Imam,
for example, to follow some rules as per one Imam and other rules as
per another Imam as it is necessary to firmly follow one Imam.. It
is also not allowed to change from one Imam to another e.g. become a
Hanafi from Shafa'ee etc. and so whoever you have followed upto
today you must continue following him. It is also a joint agreement
by all Ulema that you cannot follow another Imam or a Mujtahid
(religious director) except for one of these four. |
