مناقب سید الشہداء
حضرت سیدنا حمزہ رضی اللہ عنہ

 

بِسْمِ اللہ ِالرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

وَلَا تَقُوْلُوْا لِمَنْ یُّقْتَلُ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰہِ اَمْوَاتٌ بَلْ اَحْیَآءٌ وَلٰکِنْ لَّا تَشْعُرُوْنَ (بقرہ:١٥٤)
جو اللہ کی راہ میں مارے جائیں ان کو مردہ نہ کہو، وہ تو زندہ ہیں ، مگر تم کو خبر نہیں
 

یہ سید الشہداء ، اللہ تعالیٰ کی بارگاہ میں سفارش کرنے والوں کے سردار، اللہ تعالیٰ اور اس کے رسول مکرم صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے شیر، رسول اللہ صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے مبارک چچاحضرت حمزہ رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ کے مناقب ہیں، جن کے موتیوں کو پرونے اور جن کی چمک دمک ظاہر کرنے کا فریضہ خاندان نبوت اور علمی خانوادے کے گوہرشب تاب مشہور''مولد نبوی'' (مولود برزنجی) اور شہداء بدر کے اسماء گرامی پر مشتمل کتاب '' جالیۃ الکدر فی نظم اسماء شھداء بدر'' اور دیگر مفید اور جلیل کتب کے مصنف حضرت علامہ سید جعفر بن حسن برزنجی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ نے سر انجام دیا ہے۔

یہ حضرت سید الشہداء رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ کے عظیم مناقب ہیں جنہوں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کا دفاع کرتے ہوئے جان کی بازی لگادی ، غزوہ احد میں جن کی شہادت پر ہمارے آقا ومولا اور حبیب مکرم صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم غمگین ہوئے، اس غزوہ کے اسلامی تاریخ پر گہرے اثرات مرتب ہوئے، وہ تاریخ جس کی بنیاد ان جانبازوں نے رکھی۔ یہ مناقب حضور قلب کے ساتھ متوجہ ہونے والوں کے لیے کئی اسباق اور نصیحتیں اپنے دامن میں چھپائے ہوئے ہیں۔

 یہ دلکش اور روح پرور باغ ہے جس کی باد صبا حضرت سید الشہداء حمزہ رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ کے احوال کی خوشبو سے معطر ہے اور اس کی جودوسخا کی بارش، حضرت سید الشہداء کے ہمراہ جام شہادت نوش کرنے والے خوش بختوں کے موتیوں جیسے ناموں سے سیراب ہوتی ہے، ان حضرات نے دین مصطفی صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کی نصرت و حمایت میں اپنی جانوں کی بازی لگادی اور اسلام کے پھیلاؤ کا راستہ ہموار کردیا۔

میرے دل میں اس باغ کے گھنے درختوں میں داخل ہونے، اس کے حوضوں کے چشموں سے سیراب ہونے، نور کے برجوں سے موتیوں کی بارش طلب کرنے اور ان موتیوں کو مندرجہ ذیل سطور کی لڑی میں پرونے کا خیال پیدا ہوا، تاکہ انہیں حضرت سید الشہداء کے مزار مقدس کے پاس مقرر عمل (ایصال ثواب) کے بعد پڑھا جائے، خصوصاً آپ کی خصوصی زیارت (٢) کی رات جس کی روشن صبح ابر آلود نہیں ہوتی بلکہ اجلی اجلی ہوتی ہے، مقصد یہ ہے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ کے پاکیزہ اور باکمال بندوں کے ذکر سے اللہ تعالیٰ کی رحمتوں کی موسلادھار بارشیں حاصل کی جائیں۔

میں کہتا ہوں کہ وہ سیدنا حمزہ ابن عبد المطلب بن ہاشم، نبی اکرم صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے چچا اور رضاعی بھائی ہیں، ابو لہب کی آزاد کردہ کنیز ثوبیہ نے ان دونوں ہستیوں اور حضرت ابو سلمہ ابن عبد الاسد مخزومی (حضرت ام المومنین ام سلمہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا کے پہلے شوہر) کو دودھ پلایا تھا۔

حضرت حمزہ رضی اللہ عنہ کی عمر نبی اکرم صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم سے دو سال اور ایک قول کے مطابق چار سال زیادہ تھی (٣)، ان دونوں ہستیوں کو مختلف اوقات میں (٤) دودھ پلایاگیا، حضرت سیدالشھداء اور حضرت صفیہ (نبی اکرم صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کی پھوپھی) کی والدہ، ھالہ بنت اھیب بن عبد مناف بن زہرہ، نبی اکرم صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کی والدہ ماجدہ حضرت آمنہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہاکی چچا زاد بہن تھیں۔

 

آپ کی اولاد میں سے پانچ بیٹے تھے، چار کے نام یہ ہیں:

١۔ یعلی (٥) ٢۔عمارۃ (٦) ٣۔عمرو   اور  ٤۔ عامر

دو بیٹیاں تھیں:

١۔ ام الفضل (٧) ٢۔امامہ (٨) اس وقت حضرت سید الشھداء کی اولاد میں سے کوئی نہیں ہے (٩)
 

اللھم ادم دیم الرضوان علیہ
وامد نا بالا سرار التی اودعتھا لدیہ

اے اللہ! ان پر رحمت و رضوان کی موسلادھار بارش ہمیشہ برسا اور جو اسرار تو نے ان کے پاس امانت رکھے ہیں، ان کے ساتھ ہماری امداد فرما۔ حضرت سید الشہداء بہادر، سخی، نرم خوش اخلاق، قریش کے دلاور جوان اور غیرت مندی میں انتہائی بلند مقام کے مالک تھے۔

بعثت کے دوسرے سال (١٠) اور ایک قول کے مطابق چھٹے سال (١١) مشرف باسلام ہوئے، اسلام لانے کے دن انہوں نے سنا کہ ابو جہل،نبی صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کی شان میں نازیبا کلمات کہہ رہا ہے تو آپ نے حرم مکہ شریف میں اس کے سر پر اس زور سے کمان ماری کہ اس کا سر کھل گیا۔ (١٢)

حضرت حمزہ نے نبی صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم سے گزارش کی ۔۔۔۔۔۔ یارسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم! اپنے دین کا کھل کر پرچار کیجئے! اللہ تعالیٰ کی قسم ! مجھے دنیا بھر کی دولت بھی دے دی جائے تو میں اپنی قوم کے دین پر رہنا پسند نہیں کروں گا، ان کے اسلام لانے سے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کو تقویت حاصل ہوئی اور مشرکین آپ کی ایذا رسانی سے کسی حد تک رک گئے، بعد ازاں ہجرت کرکے مدینہ منورہ چلے گئے۔

رسول اللہ صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے جو پہلا جھنڈا تیار کیا وہ سید الشہداء ہی کے لیے تھا (١٣)، جب ٢ھ / ٦٢٣ء میں حضور سید عالم صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے انہیں قوم جھینہ کے علاقے میں سیف البحر کی طرف (ایک دستے کے ہمراہ) بھیجا، جیسے کہ مدائنی نے کہا ہے (١٤)۔

ابن ہشام نے سیدنا حمزہ رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ کے یہ اشعار نقل کیے ہیں (١٥)۔
 

فما برحوا حتی انتدبت بغارۃ
لھم حیث حلوا ابتغی راحتہ الفضل
بامر رسول اللہ اول خافق
علیہ لو لم یکن لاح من قبلی
 

وہ اسلام دشمنی سے باز نہیں آئے یہاں تک کہ میں ان کے ہر ٹھکانے پر حملے کے لیے آگے بڑھا، فضیلت کی راحت حاصل کرنا میرا مقصود تھا۔
رسول اللہ صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے حکم پر میں پہلا تلوار چلانے والا تھاجس کے سر پر جھنڈا تھا، یہ جھنڈا مجھ سے پہلے ظاہر نہ ہوا تھا۔

 

حضرت سید الشہداء جنگ بدر میں اس حال میں شامل ہوئے کہ انہوں نے شتر مرغ (١٦) کا پر اپنے اوپر بطور نشان لگایا ہوا تھا ، انہوں نے اس جنگ میں زبردست جانبازی کا مظاہرہ کیا، رسول اللہ صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے آگے دو تلواروں (١٧) کے ساتھ لڑتے رہے،کفارکے سورماؤںکو بکھیر دیا اور مشرکین کو کاری زخم لگائے (١٨) ۔

حضرت سید الشہداء رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ جنگ احد کے دن خاکستری اونٹ اور پھاڑنے والے شیر دکھائے دیتے تھے، انہوں نے اپنی تلوار سے مشرکین کو بری طرح خوف زدہ کردیا، کوئی ان کے سامنے ٹھہرتا ہی نہ تھا۔

غزوہ احد میں آپ نے اکتیس مشرکوں کو جہنم رسید کیا، جیسا کہ امام نووی رحمۃا للہ تعالیٰ علیہ نے بیان فرمایا (١٩)، پھر آپ کا پاؤں پھسلا تو آپ تیر اندازوں کی پہاڑی کے پاس واقع وادی میں پشت کے بل گرگئے، زرہ آپ کے پیٹ سے کھل گئی، جبیر بن مطعم کے غلام وحشی بن حرب نے کچھ فاصلے سے خنجر پھینکااور اللہ تعالیٰ نے اس کے ہاتھوں آپ کو مرتبہ شہادت سے سرفراز فرمایا، یہ واقعہ ہفتے کے دن نصف شوال کو ٣ھ (٢٠) یا ٤ھ (٢١) (٦٢٤ء یا ٦٢٥ء) کو پیش آیا، اس وقت آپ کی عمر ٥٧ سال تھی۔ ایک قول کے مطابق آپ کی عمر شریف ٥٩ سال(٢٢) اور ایک دوسرے قول کے مطابق ٥٤ سال تھی۔(٢٣)

پھر مشرکین نے آپ کے اعضاء کاٹے اور پیٹ چاک کیا ، ان کی ایک عورت نے آپ کا جگر نکال کر منہ میں ڈالا اور اسے چبایا، لیکن اسے اپنے حلق سے نیچے نہ اتار سکی، ناچا ر صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم سے تھوک دیا۔ (٢٤)

جب رسول اللہ صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کو یہ اطلاع ملی تو آپ نے فرمایا:
 

اگر یہ جگر اس کے پیٹ میں چلا جاتا تو وہ عورت آگ میں داخل نہ ہوتی، (٢٥) کیونکہ اللہ تعالیٰ کی بارگاہ میں حمزہ کی اتنی عزت ہے کہ ان کے جسم کے کسی حصے کو آگ میں داخل نہیں فرمائے گا۔ (٢٦)

 

اللھم ادم دیم الرضوان علیہ
وامد نا بالا سرار التی اودعتھا لدیہ

 

جب رسول اللہ صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم تشریف لائے اور آپ کے مثلہ کیے ہوئے جسم کو دیکھا، تو یہ منظر آپ کے دل اقدس کے لیے اس قدر تکلیف دہ تھا کہ اس سے زیادہ تکلیف دہ منظر آپ کی نظر سے کبھی نہیں گزراتھا، اسے دیکھ کر آپ کو جلال آگیا، آپ نے فرمایا:
 

''تمھارے جیسے شخص کے ساتھ ہمیں کبھی تکلیف نہ دی جائیگی، ہم کسی ایسی جگہ کھڑے نہیں ہوئے جو ہمیں اس سے زیادہ غضب دلانے والی ہو۔''

اس پر اللہ تعالیٰ نے یہ آیت نازل فرمائی:

وان عاقبتم فعاقبوا بمثل ماعوقبتم بہ ولئن صبرتم لھو خیر للصابرین وما صبرک الا باللہ ولا تحزن علیھم ولا تک فی ضیق مما یمکرون ان اللہ مع الذین اتقوا والذین ھم محسنون۔ (٢٧)
ترجمہ: ''اور اگر تم سزا دو تو اتنی ہی دو جتنی تمہیں تکلیف دی گیئ اور اگر صبر کرو تو وہ صبر کرنے والوں کے لیے بہتر ہے، آپ صبر کیجئے! اور آپ کا صبر اللہ ہی کے بھروسے پر ہے، آپ ان کے بارے میں غمگین اور تنگ دل نہ ہوں ان کے فریبوں کے سبب، بے شک اللہ ان لوگوں کے ساتھ ہے جو متقی ہیں اور ان کے ساتھ جو نیکوکار ہیں۔''

نبی اکرم صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے عرض کیا : ''اے رب ! بلکہ ہم صبر کریں گے۔''

نبی اکرم صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا:
 

'' اے چچا! آپ پر اللہ تعالیٰ کی رحمت ہو، کیونکہ آپ جب تک عمل کرتے رہے، بہت نیکی کرنے والے اور بہت صلہ رحمی کرنے والے تھے۔''(٢٨)

پھر ان کے جسد مبارک کو قبلہ کی جانب رکھا اور ان کے جنازے کے سامنے کھڑے ہوئے اور اس شدت سے روئے کہ قریب تھا کہ آپ پر غشی طاری ہوجاتی۔

نبی اکرم صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم فرمارہے تھے:
 

'' اے اللہ تعالیٰ کے رسول کے چچا! ـــــــــــ اللہ تعالی اور اس کے رسول صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے شیر!ـــــــــــ اے حمزہ! اے نیک کام کرنے والے!ـــــــــــــ اے حمزہ! مصیبتوں کے دور کرنے والے ـــــــــــــ اے حمزہ! ــــــــــــ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کا دفاع کرنے والے!'' (٢٩)

یہ بھی فرمایا: ہمارے پاس جبرائیل امین علیہ السلام تشریف لائے اور ہمیں بتایا کہ حضرت حمزہ کے بارے میں ساتوں آسمانوں میں لکھا ہوا ہے:
 

'' حمزہ ابن عبد المطلب، اللہ تعالیٰ اور اس کے رسول صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے شیر ہیں ۔'' (٣٠)

حاکم نیشاپوری، مستدرک میں حضرت جابر رضی اللہ عنہ سے مرفوعا (یعنی رسول اللہ صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کا فرمان) روایت کرتے ہیں کہ قیامت کے دن اللہ تعالیٰ کی بارگاہ میں حضرت حمزہ ابن عبد المطلب شفاعت کرنے والوں کے سردار ہیں۔ (٣١)

اللہ تعالیٰ نے فرمایا:

افمن وعدناہ وعدا حسنا فھو لاقیہ (٣٢)۔
(کیا جس شخص سے ہم نے اچھا وعدہ کیا ہے وہ اس سے ملاقات کرنے والا ہے۔)

سدی کہتے ہیں کہ یہ آیت حضرت حمزہ کے بارے میں نازل ہوئی۔(٣٣)

اللہ تعالیٰ نے فرمایا:

یاایتھا النفس المطمئنہ ارجعی الی ربک راضیۃ مرضیۃ۔ (٣٤)
ترجمہ: '' اے اطمینان والی جان! تو اپنے رب کی طرف اس حال میں لوٹ جا کہ تو اس سے راضی وہ تجھ سے راضی۔''

سلفی کہتے ہیں کہ اس سے مراد حضرت حمزہ ہیں۔ (٣٥)

 

 

 

نبی اکرم صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے انہیں ایسی چادر کا کفن پہنایا کہ جب اسے آپ کے سر پر پھیلاتے تو پاؤں ننگے ہوجاتے اور پاؤں پر پھیلاتے تو سر ننگا ہوجاتا، چنانچہ وہ چادر آپ کے سر پر پھیلادی گئی اور پاؤں پر اذخر (خوشبودار گھاس) ڈال دی گئی۔ (٣٦)

نبی اکرم صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے آپ کی نماز جنازہ نہیں پڑھی، یہی زیادہ صحیح ہے (٣٧)، یا ان کی نماز جنازہ کا نہ پڑھنا ان کی خصوصیت ہے (٣٨)۔ انہیں ایک ٹیلے پر دفن کیا، جہاں اس وقت ان کی قبر انور مشہور ہے (٣٩) اور اس پر عظیم گنبد ہے، یہ گنبد خلیفہ الناصر لدین اللہ احمد بن المستضئی العباسی کی والدہ نے ٥٩٠ ھ میں تعمیر کروایا۔

کہا جاتا ہے کہ قبر میں ان کے ساتھ حضرت عبد اللہ بن جحش (٤٠) اور حضرت مصعب بن عمیر(٤١)، بعض علماء نے کہا کہ حضرت شماس بن عثمان ہیں، آپ کے مزار شریف کے سرہانے سید حسن بن محمد بن ابی نمی کے بیٹے عقیل کی قبر ہے، مسجد کے صحن میں بعض سادات امراء کی قبریں ہیں۔
 

اللھم ادم دیم الرضوان علیہ
وامدنا بالا سرار التی اود عتھا لدیہ

جب نبی اکرم صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم غزوہ احد کے بعد مدینہ منورہ واپس تشریف لائے تو انصار کی عورتوں کو اپنے شہیدوں پر روتے ہوئے سنا، آپ نے فرمایا:
 

''لیکن حمزہ پر کوئی رونے والیاں نہیں ہیں (٤٢)۔''

اور آپ پر گریہ طاری ہوگیا، انصار نے اپنی عورتوں کو حکم دیا کہ اپنے شہیدوں سے پہلے حضرت حمزہ پر روئیں، ایک مدت تک انصار کی خواتین کا معمول یہ رہا کہ وہ جب بھی کسی میت والے گھر جاتیں تو پہلے حضرت حمزہ پر روتیں (٤٣)۔

حضرت کعب بن مالک انصاری اپنے قصیدے میں اظہار غم کرتے ہوئے کہتے ہیں۔
 

ولقد ہددت لفقد حمزہ ھدۃ
ظلت بنات الجوف منھا ترعد
ولو انہ فجعت حراء بمثلہ
لرایت راسی صخرھا یتھدد
قرم تمکن من ذؤابہ ھاشم
حیث النبوۃ والندا والسؤدد
والعاقر الکوم الجلاد اذا غدت
ریح یکاد الماء منھا یجمد
والتارک القرن الکمی مجندلا
یوم الکریھۃ والقنا یتقصد
وتراہ یرفل فی الحدید کانہ
ذو لبدۃ شثن البراثن اربد
عم النبی محمد و صفیہ
ورد الحمام فطاب ذاک المورد
وافی المنیۃ معلما فی اسرۃ
نصروا النبی ومنھم المستشھد
اللھم ادم دیم الرضوان علیہ
وامد نا بالا سرار التی اود عتھا لدیہ (٤٤)

 

حضرت حمزہ کے رحلت فرما جانے سے مجھ پر ایسا صدمہ ہوا ہے کہ میرا دل اور جگر لرز اٹھے ہیں۔
ایسا صدمہ اگر جبل حرا کو پہنچایا جاتا تو دیکھتا کہ اس کی چٹانوں کے دونوں کنارے تھرا اٹھتے۔
وہ ہاشمی خاندان کے معزز سردار تھے جہاں نبوت، سخاوت اور سرداری ہے۔
وہ طاقتور جانوروں کے گلے کو ذبح کرنے والے تھے جب ٹھنڈی ہوا سے پانی جمنے کے قریب ہوتا تھا (یعنی سخت سردی کے موسم میں)
جنگ کے دن جب نیزے ٹوٹ رہے ہوں وہ بہادر مد مقابل کو کشتہ تیغ بنادیتے تھے۔
تو انہیں مسلح ہوکر فخر سے چلتا ہوا دیکھتا (تو کہتا کہ) وہ خاکستری رنگ والا، مضبوط پنجوں والا، ایال دار(شیر) ہے۔
وہ نبی اکرم صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے چچا اور برگزیدہ اصحاب میں سے ہیں، انہوں نے موت کے منہ میں چھلانگ لگائی تو وہ جگہ خوشگوار ہوگئی۔
انہوں نے اس حال میں موت سے ملاقات کی کہ ان پر(شتر مرغ کے پر کا) نشان لگا ہوا تھا، وہ مجاہدین کی ایسی جماعت میں تھے جس نے نبی اکرم اکی امداد کی اور ان میں سے کچھ لوگ مرتبہ شہادت پر فائز ہوگئے۔

 

اللھم ادم الدیم الرضوان علیہ
وایدنا بالاسرار التی اودعتھا لدیہ

 

ان کے علاوہ جن حضرات کے بارے میں کہا گیا ہے کہ اس دن شہادت سے نوازے گئے اور اللہ تعالیٰ کی طرف سے ان کے اعمال صالحہ کی اچھی خبر اور زیادہ اجر دیا گیا، ان کے ناموں کی فہرست حسب ذیل ہے۔ (٤٥)

 

اے اللہ! اس روشن انوار والی بارگاہ کے صاحب (حضرت حمزہ) کے طفیل ہماری دعا ہے کہ ہم سب کو آتش جہنم کے شعلوں سے رہائی عطا فرما، کدورتیں دور فرما، ہلاکتوں سے محفوظ فرما، بکثرت بارشیں عطا فرما، اشیاء ضرورت سستی فرما، اطراف و جوانب کو امن عطا فرما، قریب و بعید اور پڑوسیوں پر رحم فرما، ارباب حکومت اور رعایا کی اصلاح فرما، اسلامی لشکروں اپنی نصرت سے تقویت عطا فرما، اپنے دشمن کافروں میں اپنے قہر کا حکم نافذ فرما اور انہیں مسلمانوں کے لیے مال غنیمت بنا۔

اے اللہ تعالی اور اس کے رسول صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے شیر! ہم آپ کی بارگاہ میں حاضر ہوئے ہیں، ہم امید رکھتے ہیں کہ ہم میں سے ہر شخص کی درخواست قبول کی جائیگی، ہم نے اپنی امیدوں کی کجاوے آپ کی بارگاہ میں اتارے ہیں، آپ کے دربار کرم میں حاضر ہیں، آپ کی شان یہ نہیں ہے کہ آپ ہمیں نظر انداز کر دیں، ہم نے آپ کی جود و سخا کے بھر پور برسنے والے بادلوں سے بارش طلب کی ہے۔
 

یارب قد لذنا بعم نبینا
رب المظاھر قدست اسرارہ
فا قل عثار من استجار بعمہ
او زارہ لتکفرن اوزارہ
والطف بنا فی المعضلات فاننا
بجوار من لا شک یکرم جارہ
واختم لنا باالصالحات اذ دنا
منا الحمام وانشب اظفارہ
ثم الصلاۃ علی سلالۃ ھاشم
من طاب محتدہ و طاب نجارہ
والآل والصحب الکرام اولی التقی
صید الانام ومن ھم انصارہ
ما انشدت طرباً مطوقۃ الشظی
او ناح بالالحان فیہ ھزارہ

 

اے رب کائنات! ہم نے مظہر نعمت و قدرت اپنے نبی صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے چچا کی پناہ لی ہے، انکے اسرار کو تقدس عطا کیا جائے۔
اس شخص کی لغزشوں کو معاف فرما جس نے نبی اکرم صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے محترم چچا کی پناہ لی ہے یا گناہوں کی مغفرت کے لیے انکی زیارت کی ہے۔
مشکلات میں ہم پر مہربانی فرما، کیونکہ ہم اس ہستی کے جوار میں ہیں جو بلا شک و شبہ اپنے پڑوسیوں کی عزت افزائی کرتی ہے۔
جب موت ہم سے قریب ہو اور اپنے پنجے گاڑ دے تو اعمال صالحہ پر ہمارا خاتمہ فرمانا پھر صلوۃ و سلام ہو بنو ھاشم کے خلاصہ پر جنکا حسب و نسب تیب و طاہر ہے۔
اور مخلوق کے سرداروں اور نبی اکرم صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وآلہ وسلم مددگاروں، اور تقویٰ شعار آل پاک اور صحابہ کرام پر صلوٰۃ وسلام ہو۔
جب تک کسھی دار کبوتر مسرت بھرے لہجے میں چہچہاتے رہیں یا بلبل ہزاز داستان دلکش آوازوں کے ساتھ نغمہ سرا رہے۔

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّکَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّۃِ عَمَّا یَصِفُوْنَ۔وَسَلَامٌ عَلَی الْمُرْسَلِیْنَ۔ وَالحَمدُ لِلَّہِ رَبِّ العَالِمِین

Jihad - A Misunderstood Concept from Islam

Jihad - A Misunderstood Concept from Islam

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

The critics of Islam, insist that Islam and Muslims are openly hostile and intolerant towards communities other than their own. They refer to the Qur'anic verses that exhort the believers to fight the infidels, they point to the battles of early Islam and the eventual confrontation between the Crusaders and the Saracens or Moors, and now, the contemporary stereotype of the Arab "terrorist". Islam is still imagined as threatening, fanatical, violent and alien by significant sections of the world's media.

 

In formulating an answer to all of this, it is crucial to focus on a general definition of Islam, so as not to fall into any misunderstanding about Jihad and its place within the Din.The context and circumstance of Qur'anic revelation and Hadith are crucial in coming to terms with Jihad. It is an error to judge Islam and Muslims in the light of the kind of "Jihad" that has fallen victim to ideological tendencies. The critic also has to be wary of the interpretation of "Jihad" which is projected,and sometimes imposed, by the selective "religious reformism" so rampant today. They ignore central aspects of Islam's intellectual heritage, selectively repress important figures and disregard Islam's impeccable history of adherence to the standards of law and justice in affairs of state.

 

This being said, let us now consider the nature of Jihad more fully as it appears in the history and law of Islam. Jihad in Arabic means "to strive for some objective". 

Thus, the common assumption, that Jihad is combat, is incorrect. In fact Jihad, in its technical meaning, has several branches, among which are the combative forms of Jihad.

 

Ibn Rushd, in his Muqaddimaat, divides Jihad into four kinds:

"Jihad by the heart;

Jihad by the tongue;

Jihad by the hand and

Jihad by the sword."

 

He defines "Jihad by the tongue" as "to commend good conduct and forbid the wrong, like the type of Jihad Allah (swt) ordered us to fulfill against the hypocrites in His Words,

"O Prophet! Strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites" [9:73].

 So the Prophet (peace be upon him) strove against the unbelievers by sword and against the hypocrites by tongue."

 

Said Ramadan Buti, a contemporary Orthodox scholar from Syria states, in his seminal work on the subject Jihad in Islam "… even before he conducted Jihad by sword against the unbelievers, there is no doubt the Prophet (peace be upon him) invited these unbelievers peacefully, lodged protests against their beliefs and strove to remove their misgivings about Islam. When they refused any other solution, but rather declared a war against him and his message and initiated the fight, there was no alternative except to fight back."

 

We now look at different form of Jihad(struggle) prescribed by Islam

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

Striving against Evil desires of Lower Self(Nafs Al-Ammarah) is Jihad

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

 

Allah Most High said:

{And whosoever STRIVES (JAAHADA), STRIVES (YUJAAHIDU) only for himself} ►(Chapter 29:Verse 6).

{As for those who STRIVE (JAHADU) in Us (the cause of Allah), We surely guide them to Our paths, and lo! Allah is with the good doers.} ► (Chapter 29:Verse 69)

This is a Meccan Sura and the two verses refer to Jihad al-Nafs. There was no military jihad then.

 

Allah Most High said:

{WA NAFSIN WA MAA SAWAAHA, FA-ALHAMAHA FUJURAHA WA TAQWAHA. QAD AFLAHA MAN ZAKAAHA WA QAD KHAABA MAN DAS- SAAHA}

"By the nafs and the proportion and order given to it, and its inspiration as to its wrong and its right; Truly he succeeds who purifies it, and he fails that corrupts it"

► (Chapter 91:Verse 7-10). This is also a Meccan Sura.

 

Without purification, the nafs remains a "soul that enjoins evil" (al-nafs al-ammara bil-su') until it surrenders itself in total obedience to the call of animal passions and shaytan.

 

Allah Most High said:

{Have you seen the one who chooses for his god his own lust?} ►(Chapter 25:Verse 43).

 

"{He followed his own lust. Therefore his likeness is as the likeness of a dog; if you attack him he pants with his tongue out and if you leave him he pants with his tongue out}"► (Chapter 7:Verse 176).

 

These are both also Meccan Suras.

About the person who controlled the passion of his ego Allah says: {But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust, Lo! The garden will be his home}

► (Chapter 79:Verse 40-41). This is also a Meccan Sura.

 

The above are among the many Meccan verses and Suras enjoining jihad al-nafs.Such a command is not been given for military jihad, as there was no permission - much less an order - for such a jihad until the Madinan period.

 

Further, the Prophet said  upon him peace:

 "The mujahid is he who makes jihad against his nafs (ego) for the sake of obeying Allah."

►{Ibn Hibban (#1624, 2519): Authentic;- Shu`ayb al-Arna'ut (Commentary on Ibn Hibban): authentic;- al-Hakim: sahih;- `Iraqi confirms him;- it is also in Tirmidhi,

Ahmad, and Tabarani;}

 

The Prophet(peace be upon him) also said : "The strong one is not the one who overcomes people, the strong one is he who overcomes his nafs [ego]."

 ►{Al-Haythami declared it authentic in Majma` al-Zawa'id.}

Man who is working to earn livelihood for family is in Jihad

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

Meaning of a hadith :

Once  a man passed in front of the Prophet(peace be upon him).Sahaba(Radiyallahu Anhum) saw that he was making great efforts and showing intrest to earn  his livelihood.

They told the Prophet(peace be upon him), "O Rasulallah, If his efforts and intrest were for the religion, it would have been better".

Prophet(peace be upon him) said , "If he is putting this struggle to bring up his small children,his efforts shall be counted in the Path of Allah , and if he is putting efforts to serve his old parents then his efforts shall be counted in the path of Allah, and if he is putting efforts for himself with the intention that he doesn't have to ask from others then his efforts shall be counted in the path of Allah,but if his efforts are with the intention of showing superiority to others by earning more money and showing off then all his efforts shall be counted in the path of Satan." ►{Reported in At-Tabrani}

 

Imam Gazali(RA) mentions in his book Kimiya'e Saadat quoting a pious person that ,

" A honest businessman is a Mujahid,because Satan tries to tempt him to be dishonest in his trade but he struggles against him."

Speaking truth in front of an oppressive ruler is Jihad

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

A  man asked: "What kind of jihad is better?"

The Prophet(peace be upon him) replied  upon him peace: "A word of truth spoken in front of an oppressive ruler." ►(Sunan Al-Nasa'I,Hadith #4209)

 

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

Jihad of inviting people to good

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

One form of Jihad, usually overlooked in today's pursuit of newsworthy headlines, is the Jihad of presenting the message of Islam-da`wah. Thirteen years of the Prophet's (peace be upon him) 23-year mission consisted purely of this type of Jihad. Contrary to popular belief, the word Jihad and related forms of its root word jahada are mentioned in many Makkan verses in a non-combative context.

 

God states in the Qur'an, "Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance." ► [Chapter 16:Verse 125]

Calling people to Islam and making them acquainted with it in all its aspects through dialogue and kind persuasion is the first type of Jihad in Islam, in contrast to the imagined belief that Jihad  is only of the combative form. This is referred to in the Qur'an where Allah (swt) says,

 "so obey not the disbelievers, but strive against them (by preaching) with the utmost endeavor with it (the Qur'an)" ► [Chapter 25:Verse 52].

 

Here the word "strive" i.e.jaahidu, is used to mean struggle by means of the tongue—preaching and exhortation—and to persevere despite the obstinate resistance of some

unbelievers to the beliefs and ideals of Islam.Imam Nawawi in his book al-Minhaj, when defining Jihad and its different categories, said, "one of the collective duties of the

 community as a whole (fard kifaya) is to lodge a valid protest, to solve problems of religion, to have knowledge of Divine Law, to command what is right and forbid

wrong conduct".

14th MuHarram al-Haraam | Hadrat Mufti-e-Aazam Imam Mustafa Rida Noori al-Qadiri Alaihir raHmah

 

URS of the Ghawth & Grand Mufti of India
Imam Mustafa Rida Noori al-Qadiri Alaihir raHmah

Ghawth al-Waqt Mufti A'zam Qutbe-'Alam 'Arife-Billah Aalur-RaHman MuHiyy al-Din Jilani Imam Mustafa RiDa al-Qadiri Barakati Noori Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was born on 22 Zil-Hajj 1310 in Bareilly Sharif, U.P., India. He was the youngest son of Qutbul-Irshad Imam al-Akbar A'la-HaDrat Imam AHmad RiDa al-Qadiri Barkati Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho the Mujdaddid of the 14th Century.

His ancestor, Shuja'at Jung MuHammad Sa'idullah Khan, accompanied Sultan Nadir Sha Abdali in 1739 AD on his first political expedition to Hindustan. Nadir Sha returned to Afghanistan but Shuja'at Jung MuHammad Sa'idullah Khan Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho decided to settle in Hindustan. In later years (between 1739 and 1748 AD), Sultan MuHammad Sha (d. 1748 AD), King of Delhi officially appointed him to the rank of Shash-Hazaari. This was indeed a very elite post in the Moghal Empire which was only entrusted to one of Royal Descent. The Moghal King also gave him The Glass Palace of Lahore and some districts in Rampur as his Jageer .

Later, by Divine Command, General MuHammad Sa'idullah Khan Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho settled in Bareilly which was then known as the capital of the famous Rohelkand District of the empire.

Important Point

The following ancestral tree of HaDrat Mufti A'zam Imam Mustafa RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was carefully constructed from the authentic Books of Genealogy and meticulously scrutinized with references to other books in this field. The ancestors were compared with dates and periods found in books written by Historians who were masters in this field. The following points were noted before compiling the Ancestral Tree:

- Preference was given to books compiled by Historians of Afghan descent/origin as they knew their descendants better than others.

- Furthermore, amongst the Afghani Historians, preference was given to Historians that belonged to the Bar'hech Tribe as the Ghawth al- Waqt Imam Mustafa RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho belonged to the Bar'hech Tribe.

- There is not much dispute in the Chain of the Ancestral Tree from Sayyiduna Nabi Adam Alaihis Salam to Sayyiduna Nabi IsHaq Alaihis Salam.

- The chain of the Family Tree from Sayyiduna Nabi IsHaq Alaihis Salam to HaDrat Malik Taloot Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was extracted according to the citation found in the books of authors who belonged to the Bar'hech Tribe. This was so because people of a Tribe will have more genuine information of their ancestors in relation to others of different tribes.

- There is a consensus in Books of Ancestral Trees from HaDrat Malik Taloot Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho up to Sayyiduna Qais Malik 'Abdur-Rashid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho and so is the case from Sayyiduna 'Abdur-Rashid to Bar'hech.

- From Bar'hech till HaDrat Shuja'at Jang MuHammad Sa'eedullah Khan the genealogy was extracted from Khulasatul-Ansab, Akhbar al-Sanadid and Bustan-e-Hikmat, whose authors are not only Afghanis, but belonged to the Bar'hech Tribe.

This is how cautiously this Family Tree from Sayyiduna Nabi Adam Alaihis Salam till Ghawth al-Waqt, HaDrat Mufti A'zam Qutbe-'Alam's Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was constructed. The Ancestral Tree is as follows:

Imam Mustafa RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Mujaddid Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Ra'isul-Atqiya Imam MuHammad Naqi 'Ali Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o 'Arife-Billah Imam RiDa 'Ali Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Mawlana Hafiz Kazim 'Ali Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Mawlana Sha MuHammad A'zam Khan Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Mawlana MuHammad Sa'adat Yaar Khan Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Shuja'at Jung MuHammad Sa'idullah Khan Bhadur Qandhari Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o 'Abdur-RaHman Khan Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Yusuf Khan Qandhari Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Dawlat Khan s/o Badal Khan s/o Da'ood Khan s/o Bar'hech Khan s/o Sharfud-Deen 'Urf Shar'haboon s/o Ibra'him 'Urf Sard'bun s/o Sayyiduna Qais Malik 'Abdur-Rashid SaHabi Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o 'Ays Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Salool Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o 'Utba Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Na'eem Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Marra s/o Malik Jalandar s/o Malik Askandar Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Zaman s/o 'Unais s/o Bah'lool s/o Sa'lam s/o SalaH s/o Qaroon s/o Nasr s/o Ashmu'ail s/o Na'eem s/o Akram s/o Ash'ath Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Sharood s/o Makhal s/o Nusrat s/o Qalaj s/o Sher s/o 'Atham s/o Faylool s/o Karam s/o 'Amaal s/o Hudayfa s/o Mat'hal s/o Qabal s/o 'Ilm or 'Aleem s/o Ash'mool s/o Haroon s/o Qamar s/o Abi s/o Su'heb s/o Talal s/o Lu'ee s/o 'Ameel s/o Taraj s/o Arzand s/o Mandool s/o Saleem or Sa'lam s/o Afghana s/o Sarad al-Muqallab bi Malik Taloot s/o Qais s/o 'Utbah s/o Talas s/o Ru'ail s/o Yahoodah s/o Sayyiduna Nabi Ya'qoob Alaihis Salam s/o Sayyiduna Nabi IsHaq Alaihis Salam s/o Khaleelullah Sayyiduna Nabi Ibra'him Alaihis Salam s/o Ta'rikh s/o Makhood or NaHoor s/o Shuroo' or Ash'ragh s/o Sayyiduna Nabi Hood Alaihis Salam s/o 'Abir s/o Sha'lakh s/o Araf'khashad s/o Saam s/o Sayyiduna Nabi NooH Alaihis Salam [age: 1400 years] s/o La'lak [age:780 years] s/o Malik Matla'shakh [age: 900 years] s/o Sayyiduna Nabi Idris Alaihis Salam s/o Bayarad s/o Mahla'heel s/o Qay'nan s/o Anoosh s/o Sayyiduna Nabi Sheeth Alaihis Salam [age: 912 years] s/o Sayyiduna Nabi Adam Alaihis Salam [age: 900 years]

HaDrat Mufti A'zam, Qutbe-'Alam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho belonged to the Afghani Bar'hech Tribe which was of Royal Descent. This was indeed a very respectable and noble tribe in Afghanistan. Great 'Ulama and Masha'ikh hailed from this dignified tribe whose Mazars are still a centre of solace and spiritual enlightment for the people both in Afghanistan and Hindustan. A separate detailed book can be written about these great dignitaries. Since this a very brief introduction of the Imam, therefore no details will be recorded herein. However, an important point to note is that in the ancestry of Ghawth al-Waqt Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, there are eight Prophets and one SaHabi. The Prophets are:

1) Sayyiduna Nabi Ya'qoob Alaihis Salam
2) Sayyiduna Nabi IsHaq Alaihis Salam
3) Khalilullah Sayyiduna Nabi Ibra'him Alaihis Salam
4) Sayyiduna Nabi Hood Alaihis Salam
5) Sayyiduna Nabi NooH Alaihis Salam
6) Sayyiduna Nabi Idris Alaihis Salam
7) Sayyiduna Nabi Sheeth Alaihis Salam
8) Sayyiduna Nabi Adam Alaihis Salam

The one SaHabi is Sayyiduna Qais Malik 'Abdur-Rashid SaHabi Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. He is the 43rd descendant of Afghana and 45th descendant of HaDrat Malik Taloot. Qais bin 'Ays lived in the mountainous terrains of Ghour. In one of the Expeditions of Sayyiduna Khalid ibn Walid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, he became interested in Islam. So he took some of the leaders of Afghanistan and went to Madina al-Munawwara. They met the beloved Prophet of ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala and immediately accepted Islam on his sacred hands. Sayyiduna Rasoolullah Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam then said to him:"Qais is a Hebrew word and I am an Arab. The Prophet of ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala gave him the Islamic name 'Abdur-Rashid. The Habib Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam further said: "You are the Awlad of Malik Taloot whom ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala blessed with the title of Malik (King). In the future you too will be remembered with the title of Malik." This is how he got the title of Malik from the office of Prophethood.

It was in the Madinan period that the Beloved Nabi Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam was planning for the conquest of Makka and appointed Malik 'Abdur-Rashid and the other Afghani SaHabi as the lead of the secret service scouts of the army led by Sayyiduna Khalid ibn Walid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. The Afghani Mujahids displayed their astonishing bravery in the battle of Makka. Sayyiduna Malik 'Abdur-Rashid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho himself killed 70 Kuf'far in this battle. His role and bravery in this war brought great joy to the heart of the Beloved Prophet Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam who predicted that a great family will emerge from the off-springs of this Sahabi. They will be steadfast on religion and will strengthen the Din of Islam like Bataan (conqueror with great bravery or Military Advisor). It was the effects of this Du'a of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam that great 'Ulama and Masha'ikh were born in the lineage of Sayyiduna Malik 'Abdur-Rashid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. To name a few, some of the stars in the firmament of excellence were the great Mujaddid, Ala-HaDrat Imam AHmad Raza al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho and his son, Ghawth al-Zaman Mufti A'zam Imam Mustafa RiDa al-Qadiri Noori Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. Their services to the Din is known to the Muslim World and precisely the manifestations of the Du'as of the Beloved Prophet of ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala.

Since the Beloved Nabi's Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam Du'a for the Awlad of Sayyiduna Malik 'Abdur-Rashid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was that they will strengthen the Din and their strength will be like Bataan, from that day on he became famous by the title of "Bataan". This word Bataan in later days changed to the present day name "Pathaan". Eventually, the Awlad of Sayyiduna Malik 'Abdur-Rashid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho then became synonymous by the word Pathaan. This is how the word Pataan can into existence. Sayyiduna Malik 'Abdur-Rashid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho married Mutahira, the daughter of Sayyiduna Khalid ibn Walid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, and he passed away at the age of 87 years.

GLAD TIDINGS BEFORE THE MASTER'S BIRTH

Before the birth of the Ghawth, his father Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, was on a visit to the Mazar of his Murshid al-Kamil Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho in Marehra Sharif. It was on the night of 22nd of Zil-Hajj that the noble Imam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho had a dream. He noticed in this dream that the full moon began descending towards the earth and it was many folds bigger than the earth. As it descended, its size began decreasing and its brilliance increased. So much so that it comfortably landed on his lap. That morning Ala-HaDrat Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho awoke for Tahajjud Salah and Almighty ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala inspired his heart with the correct interpretation of that dream. The Imam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho immediately made WuDu and performed two Rak'ats of Shukr (thanks-giving) and named his son Aalur-RaHman.

That same day he performed the Salatul-Zuhr with the Qutb, Sirajul-'Arifin, Sayyid Abul-Husain AHmade-Noori al-Husaini Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho in the Musjid of the Masha'ikh. After the Salah, he left the Musjid with the Qutb 'Arife-Noori Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. As the Qutb Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho reached the steps of the Musjid, he turned to Ala-HaDrat Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho as if he had already intercepted his dream and intention and said: "Mawlana SaHib! You must return to Bareilly as ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala has blessed you with a pious and gifted son. I suggest the name Aalur-RaHman Abul-Barakat MuHiyy al-Din Jilani for him. I will certainly come to Bareilly to see him and bestow all the Spiritual Secrets on him." The Qutb also gave Ala-HaDrat Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho a five Rupee silver coin as a gift for the new-born son.

However, Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho obeyed the command of the Qutb who was not only his Peer-Bhai but also his Teacher and immediately left for Bareilly. He reached Bareilly the same day and was delighted to see his new-born son. Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho inquired about the time of the son's birth and it was confirmed that it was the exact time that the Qutb Sayyid 'Arife-Noori Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, had intercepted when leaving the Musjid after Salatuz-Zuhr in Marehra. SubHanALLAH! What precise perception is bestowed upon the beloved servants of ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala!

The noble Imam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho then kissed his son on the forehead, hugged him to his chest and said: "Welcome, O perfect Wali!" The arrival of this son brought great joy to all in the household because many daughters were born in his home after the first son, Hujjatul-Islam Mawlana Hamid RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. There was an 18 year gap between the first son and the new arrival. Everyone in the family was so overjoyed that they celebrated his arrival for many months.

HIS 'AQEEQA

His father, Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, though chose the name Aalur-RaHman on the morning of his dream, but instead, he kept his name MuHammad when the Aqiqa was performed for two apparent reasons.

- Firstly, this was so because there are no limits of Barakat and blessing in the name MuHammad.
- And secondly, A'la-HaDrat was a great 'Arif and an 'Arif's vision is always focused on the LouH-e-MaHfooz (Sacred Tablet of Records). The great Imam and 'Arif noticed the physical life u of his son on the LouH-e-MaHfiz which was 92 years and kept his name MuHammad. The Ghawth, HaDrat Mufti A'zam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho passed away in 1981 at the age of 92. According to numerology and the Abjad Formula calculation, the numerical value of the word MuHammad is 92. It was only after the demise of HaDrat Mufti A'zam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho that this secret and Karamat of Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was understood by the people. The word complimented his son's love for the Master Sayyiduna MuHammad Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam and it's numerical value complimented his age u as Divinely pre-destined on the LouH-e-MaHfooz.

HIS BAY'AH AND KHILAFAT

On Wednesday, 25th Jamadiul-Thani 1310 / 3rd January 1894 as promised the great Qutb, Sayyidi Abul-Husain AHmad-e-Noori al-Husaini al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho came to Bareilly, to visit the new born. The child was 6 months and 3 days old. Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho took the child and placed him on the sacred lap of the Great Qutb Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. Sayyidi 'Arife-Noori Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho carefully looked at the face of this child for a long time and kissed his forehead and said to the father: "Mawlana! This is a gifted child and a born Wali of ALLAH! As far as Barakat is concerned, he is Abul-Barkat and MuHiyyud-Din as far as Fanaiyyat is concerned. This child will serve the Din extensively and mankind will derive great benefits from him. The vision of this Wali will cherish the hearts of millions and make them steadfast on the Din and from him will flow an ocean of Divine Grace."

After these glad tidings, the Murshid al-Kamil Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho placed his blessed Shahadah finger in the child's mouth who began suckling as if being breast fed by the mother. It was as if the great Qutb infused all the Barakat and Secrets of the four major Spiritual Orders at once into the receptive heart of this young and future Ghawth of ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala. The grand Master then initiated the child in the Qadiriyyah Spiritual Order and bestowed on him the Khilafah of 13 Spiritual Orders. They were as follows:

1) Qadiriyyah Barkatiyyah Jadidah
2) Qadiriyyah Aba'iyyah Qadimah
3) Qadiriyyah Hidayiyyah
4) Qadiriyyah Raz'zaqiyyah
5) Qadiriyyah Mansooriyyah
6) Chishtiyyah Nizamiyyah Qadimah
7) Chishtiyyah MaHboobiyyah Jadididah
8) Suhrawardiyyah WaHidiyyah
9) Suhrawardiyyah FaDiliyyah
10) Naqshabandiyyah 'Ula'iyyah Siddiqiyyah
11) Naqshabandiyyah 'Ula'iyyah 'Ulawiyyah
12) Badi'iyyah
13) 'Uluwiyyah Manamiyyah

After blessing this child with all these lofty stations, the Murshid al-Kaamil'ala Anho then placed the child on the lap of Ala-HaDrat Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho and said: "Mubarak to you! The Tafsir of the Ayah وَجَعَل لِّى وَزِيراً مِن اَهلِى has now filled your lap."

This is how the first chapter of this future Ghawth of the Sublime Lord Azzawajal began and at a tender age of 6 months and 3 days he was introduced to this Ummah. After the completion of his external studies, HaDrat Mufti A'zam Qutb al-'Alam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho perfected the mystical sciences and Sulook under the Spiritual Guidance of his Murshid al-Kamil Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho.

Jubba Mubarak of Mufti-e-Aazam Qutb-e-Aalam Alaihir raHma

HIS BISMILLAH KHWANI

At the age of 4 years, 4 months and 4 days the traditional Soofi Bismillah Khani was personally performed by Ala-HaDrat Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. He was then given in the care of his elder brother, Hujjatul-Islam Mawlana Hamid RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, to teach him the Nazara of the Holy Qur'an. This astonishing child shocked his brother by completing Nazara of the recitation of the entire Qur'an in just 3 years!

HIS EDUCATIONAL CAREER

After the completion of the recitation of the Holy Qur'an, Ala-HaDrat Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho then handed him over to the able teachers of teachers [Ustaz al-'Ulama], HaDrat Mawlana RaHam Ilahi Manglori al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho to study the elementary books of the 'Alim course. After teaching him for a few months, he said to Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho: "I am indeed honoured to teach this future giant of Islam. Your son is a Wali and it is not possible for me to perfect him. It is only your personality that can fulfil this difficult task. However, I will do my utmost best to teach him as much as I can which for me is not an easy task. I am dumb-founded at his memory and intellect."

Ghawth al-Waqt, Mufti al-A'zam Qutb al-'Alam, Imam Mustafa RiDa al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho completed his external studies under 5 Masters. They were as follows:

1) His Father, Imam al-Akbar Ala-HaDrat Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho
2) His elder brother, Hujjatul-Islam Mawlana Hamid RiDa al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho
3) The Teacher of Teachers, HaDrat Mawlana RaHam Ilahi Mang'lori Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho
4) Shaykh al-'Ulama 'Allama Sayyid Bashir AHmad 'Aligari Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho
5) Shams al-'Ulama HaDrat Mawlana Zuhoor al-Hasan Farooqi Rampuri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho

In 1328/1910, at a young age of 18 years, HaDrat Mufti al-A'zam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho had mastered 36 sciences of knowledge. Thereafter, for the next 13 years (1328 to 1340) he sat with his illustrious father, the Mujaddid and Qutbul-Irshad Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho and mastered the science of Islamic Law (Fiqa).

HIS DEVOTION AND 'IBADAH

The Qutb, Mufti al-A'zam Imam Mustafa RiDa al-Qadiri Noori Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho from a very young age till the last moments of his life was always engrossed in the remembrance of Almighty ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala. He never missed his daily Salah and always performed it with the Jama'at in the Musjid. This excessive remembrance was so intense that it was often noticed that his lips moved in Dhikr while he was asleep. He sat in long devotions after the Fajr and Maghrib Salahs. He used to perform the Imamat of the Rijal al-Ghayb and Jinns after mid-night. There were instances that people noticed him teaching a group of "amazing" people late after mid-night in the confines of his private chamber . Sometimes people peeped into his private room of 'Ibadah to see this class in session. Such people were later confronted by the student Jinns in anger and warned not to interfere in their matters when engaged with their Shaykh at night. This confrontation had such an impact on them that they lay sick for days.

The Ghawth Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was a master of the highly esoteric Dhikr of Sultan al-Azkar. This Dhikr is also known as Dhikre-Ara, the Dhikr of the Saw. This is a highly secret form of Dhikr of the senior Awliya of ALLAH. Years of practice is required to perfect this Dhikr. When the 'Amil is engaged in this Dhikr, every joint in his body becomes dislodged and the pieces are scattered on the floor bouncing in the ecstasy of the Dhikr of "ALLAH ALLAH". If anyone unintentionally has to see this then he would think that someone has chopped up every part of this person. But if a person intentionally invades the privacy of the 'Arif engrossed in this Dhikr, then there is a great chance that he may loose his eyesight or even die. There were 3 or 4 instances in the life of the Murshid al-Kaamil that people unintentionally saw the Master in this state. [In 1994 while I (translator) was attending the 'Urs-e-Noori in Marehra Sharif, I was summoned to the private quarters of the Sajjadah 'Arife-Billah Makhdoom Sayyid Hasan Mia Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. In the chamber, there were 2 of us seated in the august presence of the Master. Professor Sayyid MuHammad Amin Mia and I sat with heads bent in absolute undivided attention while the Master, with tears rolling down his cheeks, spoke of the excellence of the Ghawth al-Waqt, HaDrat Mufti al-A'zam Qutb al-'Alam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. The door was closed and no person was allowed to enter while this meeting was in session.

The Soofi Master Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho then mentioned to us of a horrifying experience he had when he was a young boy of about 12 years. At that time the Ghawth, HaDrat Mufti al-A'zam Qutb al-'Alam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was in Marehra Sharif for the Ziyarat of his Peer-o-Murshid's Mazar. It was about 3 p.m. when his brother, the 'Arif, Sayyid al-'Ulama HaDrat Sayyid Ale-Mustafa al-Husaini al-Qadiri Barkati Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho said to him; "Hasan Mia! It's late and HaDrat has not eaten lunch as yet. Go and see where he is and bring him for lunch." I (Sayyid Hasan Mia) immediately went to his room and did not find him there. I inquired from some people sitting outside the room and they mentioned that HaDrat went to the Musjid for Zuhr Salah and not returned as yet. So I went to the Musjid which was totally empty and found the inner section doors closed. As I opened the door, I was horrified to find the body of the Ghawth in pieces and every piece of his body was bouncing on the floor reading "ALLAH ALLAH". I had never seen anything like this before and it had such an impact on me that I instantly became feverish and ran out of the Musjid crying straight to my brother (Sayyid al-'Ulama). I was hysterical and he grabbed me and asked: "What is the matter? Why are you crying?" All I could tell him in that state of terror was that someone had killed HaDrat in the Musjid. My brother was a great Soofi himself and felt my temperature and understood what had happened. He began praying on me until my condition normalized. After a while we saw HaDrat coming out of the Musjid and I was now even more confused as he was in a perfect normal state.

However, after some time Sayyid al-'Ulama Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho explained to me about my experience and said: "HaDrat Mufti al- A'zam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho is a great 'Amil of Sultanul-Azkar. When you saw his state in the Musjid, he was engrossed in this very Dhikr. He is the pride of our Barkati family and the coolness of the eyes of our grandfather HaDrat Noori Dada Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho."

HIS ACADEMIC CONTRIBUTION

Ghawth al-Waqt Mufti al-A'zam Qutbul-'Alam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was a prolific writer and wrote numerous books on different subjects of Din. Unfortunately, many were never published and of those that were published, many are out of print. There is some resurgence amongst the present day scholars to locate the Murshid's books to be printed. Below, is a list of some of his books:

These are some of the contributions of the great Mufti and Wali of ALLAH. He has also left thousands of students, Mureeds and Khulafa, who in turn produced thousands of students that are serving the Muslim globally.

The Roving Ambassador of Islam, Mawlana 'Abd al-'Alim Siddiqi al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was a close friend of Ghawth al-Waqt Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho and greatly revered him. HaDrat Mawlana 'Abd al-'Alim Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was also a great politician and took an active part in local and international politics. He was very instrumental in abolishing the Hajj Tax then introduced by the Saudī Regime. The introduction of the Hajj Tax infuriated him as it was against the Sharī'ah and affected millions of incoming Hujjaj to the Holy land. It is also ethically incorrect to charge a Hajj Tax on pilgrims who spend thousands and undertake such a strenuous journey only to be welcomed at Jeddah seaport and airport by an unjustified tax instead of being given a warm welcome to the Holy Land as the guest of Allah Azzawajal and His Rasūl Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam.

He consulted with the most senior Jurist of the Muslim World, the great 'Arife Billah, Qutb al-'Alam, Muftī al-A'zam, Imam Mustafa RīDa al-QaDirī Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho and requested him for an Islamic ruling (Fatwa) on the Hajj Tax. The Grand Mufti issued an Islamic decree in the Arabic language condemning the Hajj Tax as un-Islamic which was later published by the title:

طَردُ الشَّيطَان عَن سَبِيلِ الرَّحْمن اَلمُلَقِّب بِعُمْدَةُ البَيَان فيِ حُرْمَةِ كُوشَان
"Tard al-Shaytan 'un Sabil al-RaHman al-Mulakkab bi 'Omdat al-Bayan fi Hurmate Koshan".

This Fatwa was acknowledged and ratified by many giants of the Islamic World, namely Sadr al-Afadil Mawlana Sayyid Na'īmudīn Muradabadī Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, Sadr al-Shari'ah Mawlana Amjad 'Ali al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, etc.

Mawlana 'Abd al-'Alim Siddiqui Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho took this Fatwa and set out to meet with the King in Hijaz and debated the Hajj Tax and presented the Fatwa. The Fatwa of HaDrat Mufti al-A'zam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho convinced the Wahabi Clergies and the King then abolished the Hajj Tax, but unfortunately, the Saudi authorities later reinstated this un-Islamic Tax to exploit the pilgrims to the Holy Land.

Ghawth al-Waqt Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was also a celebrated Poet and the collection of his poetry has been published under the title of Saman-e-Bakh'shish which widely read internationally.

It is amazing to note that wherever you find Sunni Muslims in the world, you ought to find someone amongst them doing work for the Ahle-Sunnah who is either a Mureed or a student of the Mureed of the Ghawth HaDrat Mufti al-A'zam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. The list students and Khulafa is too extensive to mention here. However, a short list of his famous Khulafa is give below. The Ghawth of ALLAH Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho had over TWENTY MILLION MUREEDS who are living throughout the world. Isha-ALLAH, I intend to compile a detailed book on my Murshid al-Kamil in due course. Please make Du'a that Almighty ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala grants me the strength to undertake this mammoth task.

HIS JOURNEY TO THE HARAMAYN AL-SHAREEFAYN

The Ghawth performed his first Hajj in 1323/1905 at the age of 13 years with his illustrious father, A'la-HaDrat Imam AHmad RiDa al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. His second trip was in 1364/1945 and the third trip was in 1391/1971. The third trip was a very historic one where all Hujjaj were required to travel with a passport and a valid Hajj Visa. Both these documents had to have the photograph of the traveller. But the Ghawth Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, from a very young age never took out a photograph because the sacred Shari'ah forbade the taking of photograps . He always strictly followed the Laws of the Shari'ah in all aspects of his life. Since he had made his Niyyah for Hajj and Ziyarah, hence nothing could now stop him to undertake this sacred journey. It was his Charismatic Exploit that the Indian Government and the Saudi Consulate exempted him from the use of a photograph on his passport which was indeed the first time for something like this to happen. Why not, no Law is superior to the Divine law of Almighty Allah Azzawajal and one who adheres to the Divine Law is always Divinely Protected by the Sublime Lord Azzawajal. This was a unique occasion when the world witnessed the Divine Control of Allah Azzawajal and the authority of His Azzawajal Awliya.

In this trip, the Ghawth Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was accompanied by his wife, his niece, his grandson, the very old servant-lady (Khadima) of his father, A'la-HaDrat Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho and my humble self. This journey was undertaken by ship. The Murshid was welcomed at Jeddah docks by Qutb al-Madina Shaykh Dia al-Din AHmad Siddiqi al-Qadiri Madani Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, HaDrat Mawlana Shaykh FaDlur-RaHman Madani Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, the Indian Ambassador and hundreds of Mureeds and followers.

The 'Ulama of Haramayn Sharifayn, the Arab word and scholars of Din always humbled themselves in the presence of the Ghawth Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. These dignitaries sat around the Ghawth as students and devotees seeking his grace, Du'as and Asanid [Certificates of Khilafat, Hadith Narrations, Fiqh and Awrad]. Amongst the Makkan 'Ulama who met with and took Ijazah and Khilafa from the Ghawth were:
 
- Qutbul-Waqt 'Arife-Billah Sayyidi Shaykh Amin Qutbi al-Husaini Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho
- Sayyid al-'Ulama HaDrat Sayyid 'Alawi Maliki al-Hasani Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho (the illustrious father of Sayyid MuHammad 'Alawi al-Maliki Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho)
- Ustaz al-'Ulama HaDrat Mawlana Shaykh MuHammad Noor Saif Makki Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho
- Shaykh Sayyid MuHammad 'Alawi Maliki al-Hasani Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho
- Shaykh Sayyid Mu'ad FatHullah Khalifa al-Husaini Shami etc.

It was in this trip that the famous MuHaddith of Makka al-Mukarramah, Sayyidi MuHammad 'Alawi Hasani al-Maliki Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, received the Khilafat of the consecrated Qadiriyyah Spiritual Order and Ijazah of Narration of the Hadith al-Sharif from the great Ghawth, Mufti al-A'zam Qutb al-'Alam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho . I was personally present in this coronation which took place in the home of Sayyidi MuHmmad's Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho father, Sayyid al-'Alawi al-Hasani Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho in Makka al-Mukarrama. AlHamdulillah! This humble servant has in his possession the pen and ink-pot which the the Ghawth Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho used to write the Certificate of Khilafat and Hadith al-Sharif.

Sayyid MuHammad Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho followed the Murshid al-Kamil throughout his stay in Makka al-Mukarrama and his ardant love and devotion for the Ghawth was so strong that he even followed him to Madina al-Munawwara. Here, in this sanctified city of the Habib Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, the Sayyid daily visited the Master for the 31 days he spent here. I am a witness to this as I was every moment in the service of the Murshid and responsible to present tea and refreshments to all the guests. In some meetings Sayyid MuHammad spent hours with the Ghawth Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. Periodically, I served tea to the Sayyid and every time he moved the tea in front of the Master and sat staring at his luminous face. It was the unique nature of the Ghawth Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho that when he had any association with any Sayyid, he expressed great love and affection to them. Since Sayyidi MuHammad was a progeny of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam the Murshid compassionately requested him to drink the tea. But the Sayyid refused saying, "I would only drink if you first make the tea Tabarruk by drinking from it." So the Murshid, with tears rolling down his cheeks, read some Du'a and drank a little tea and passed it on to Sayyid MuHammad. The Sayyid's face brightened up with happiness and he drank the tea. After some time the Master ordered more tea and the Sayyid would do the same. The Ghawth said that he had already made it Tabarruk the first time and he should now drink it. But Sayyid MuHammad 'Alawi replied; "If I have to drink tea a thousand times in your august presence, you will have to first make it Tabarruk before I drink it." This was the extreme love and respect the 'Ulama and Masha'ikh of Haramayn al-Sharifayn expessed for the great Ghawth of Allah. May the Sublime Lord Azzawajal sanctify their souls and through them, bless us with the sweetness of Iman - Amin thumma Amin.

HIS MARRIAGE AND CHILDREN

Ghawth al-Waqt, Murshid al-Kamil Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was married to his cousin and only child of HaDrat Mawlana MuHammad RiDa al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho on 11th May 1911. Mawlana MuHammad RiDa al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was the youngest brother of A'la-HaDrat Imam RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho and received all his education from his big brother. He was a master of 'Ilm al-Fara'iD (Faculty of Distribution of Inheritance) and all questions (Fatawa) pertaining to this subject that came to A'la-HaDrat Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was referred to him to be answered. HaDrat Mufti A'zam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho had six daughters and one son, Anwar RiDa, who passed away at a tender age of 18 months. His progeny survives through his daughters.
 
HIS WISAL SHAREEF

Ghawth al-Waqt, Mufti al-A'zam Qutb al-'Alam Imam Mustafa RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho peacefully departed from this mundane world at the age of 92 on Wednesday night – 1:40 am, 14th MuHarram al-Haram 1402 / 11th November 1981. He was put to rest on the right side next to his illustrious father, Qutb al-Irshad Imam al-Akbar Ala-HaDrat Imam AHmad RiDa al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. Although the illustrious Ghawth has physically departed from this material world, but the spiritual beams of his guidance and blessings still manifests as a radiant beacon for Mureeds of the sanctified Qadiriyyah Barkatiyyah RaDawiyyah Spiritual Order.

May ALLAH Azzawajal The Real Absolute, instil in our hearts the love and honour for all the Awliya-ALLAH and give us courage to follow the principles of mystical ethics taught by the Righteous 'Ulama and Masha'ikh and as laid down in their books.
