R.E teacher wants proof from Qur'an

muhammad owais qadri — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 20:24:45 GMT

Assalaamu Aleykum,

My R.E teacher was a catholic and now says that she doesn't believe that Allah Azzwajal exists.

She told us that she wants to have a debate with us tomorrow (Monday) and wants proof from the Qur'an that Allah Azzwajal exist.

Please can you reply back with proof.

JazakAllah

When in grave - is this from where afterlife begins?

Seat Belts On — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:00:31 GMT

When a person dies and enters grave, does his next life or afterlife begin from the moment he is in grave or does it begin when he is raised again and starts from Day of Judgement? If the person's afterlife or hereafter begins from the time of day of judgement, but then when he is in the grave is he still part of the first life or life that he spent whilst he was alive on Earth?

Wahabi Milads

muhammad owais qadri — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:37:59 GMT

Wahabi Milads
It is widely believed that Wahhabi/"Salafi" are against the idea of holding celebrations of Mawlid. But that's not true. They celebrate not one, but many Mawlids. Here are some of the Wahhabi/"Salafi" Mawlids we have witnessed.

1- Mawlid of Shaykh Muhammad ibn `Abd al-Wahhab, Shaykh-an-Najdi (Also, the title which was given to Shaytan), Shaykh al-Islam of "Salafis"/Wahhabis, and Imam of the Two Cities (Riyad and Dar`iyya):

Every year at the anniversary date of Muhammad ibn `Abd al-Wahhab's death, a great feast is held at the Ibn Sa`ud University in Riyad (in Najd) at which time they praise the unparalleled magnificence of their beloved religious leader, listing his qualities and reciting new poetry about his greatness. All over the world, their embassies also fulfill this important communal obligation (fard kifaya). This is NOT `ibada, of course.

2- Mawlid of the State, known as National Day:

This Mawlid, similar to Independence Day, Flag Day, and Army Day, is celebrated every year in the country with international gala festivities, fanfare, parades, army reviews, podiums and thrones, and also, of course, new poems of praise and Madih recitations for the State founders and current rulers, all at colossal cost, but whatever means leads to fulfilling an obligation (fard), is itself an obligation. Of course this is NOT `ibada.

3- Mawlid of the Nation's Century:

This was a gigantic and truly new Mawlid, the like of which was never seen before. Last year we all witnessed the great celebrations whose main slogan was "100 years KSA" to commemorate one century of freedom from the innovated Khilafa and the establishment of the Sunni Kingdom. On this occasion
thousands of shiny and colorful lights, new constructions, inventive and tasteful decorations, posters, banners, placards, and other graphic art productions were displayed in public places and broadcast over the media with orchestral music, poems, and commentary of self-praise and glorification that filled the heart with warmth, love of dunya, and national pride. All Mawlids should be like this! (Needless to say, this is NOT
`ibada.)

4- Mawlid of the Mufti:

At the recent passing of the Grand Mufti of the Wahhabiyya Sect, Bin Baz, it was decided by the Mawlid Celebration Board to issue a special commemorative glossy publication praising his greatness, listing his achievements and merits, and deploring his demise with big tears of sadness. In fact, the magazine cover showed a delightful, artistic painting of a series of big tears stringed together like dhikr-beads, and inside each tear there was a small Ka`ba. Al-Hamdu lillah, the Grand mufti is gone, the tears dried up, but we still have the Ka`ba!

5- Mawlid of the Ministers:

From time to time, public sessions of high praise are held for certain ministers according to worldly (dunya) merit. In a recent incident one of our brothers unduly obsessed with the hereafter (Akhira) witnessed a TV program in Madina during Hajj 1999, in which one of the Ministers was lavishly praised (madih) by a 7-year old schoolboy dressed in a formal army suit, reciting poetry he had innovated for him. The boy was called to the podium (`arsh) and asked by that minister what he would like to receive for praising him so much. The boy said on the spot: "Half a million Ryals." The Minister happily granted his wish. (Jazak Allahu Khayran for such a generous, noble gesture on National TV during Hajj, so that everyone young and old should learn to praise and magnify government officials instead of reciting Qasidat al-Burda or other such things!) The brother who witnessed this event on TV, as he was pleased with the Best of Creation - the Prophet Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi Wa Sallam - went to the Prophet's Mosque and, standing at Bab Gibril in front of the blessed Green Dome (with other brothers who were also obsessed with Akhira), started excessively obeying the command of the Qur'an to invoke blessings and abundant greetings on the Holy Prophet Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi Wa Sallam and recite Qasida in his praise. Immediately, the guards of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques went on Red Alert (special guards from the elite Tala`al Badru Emergency Alert Unit) as they noticed that the brothers were committing an act of love and respect for the Beloved of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta'ala, something known in their legal police code as SHIRKUFRBID`A (which only they can pronounce correctly). So the elite, frowning paratroopers yelled at the brothers to stop immediately this violation of the National Mawlid Law, manhandled them, and threatened them with arrest and jail unless they stopped their crime. Moral: If only those brothers had used their intellects to recite Mawlid for a State Minister instead of Rahmatan lil-Alamin Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi Wa Sallam, they would have been several million Ryals richer today! (And this would NOT be `ibada!)

1- Mawlid of Monuments and Inscriptions:

Unlike the preceding Mawlids which are seasonal or according to special circumstances, this Mawlid is a permanent Mawlid in Madina, steps away from the Prophet Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi Wa Sallam's Mosque in the ritzy Dar al-Tayba square. It consists in a 15-foot monument in the shape of a globe topped by a dome similar to the Prophet Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi Wa Sallam's dome, flanked by a flag, in the middle of a waterfall. Below, an inscription says: "In appreciation to the King for services rendered to Islam." This Mawlid of Monuments and Inscriptions fulfills two important functions. First, it is most suitable for photography as a memento of His Majesty the King in the City of the Holy Prophet Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi Wa Sallam as, unfortunately, pictures of the real Dome are prohibited but happily, pictures of this dunya monument are welcome (as it is NOT `ibada). :angry:

Second, just like the inscription acknowledging His Majesty the King at the bottom of the door of the Ka`ba in Mecca (for every pilgrim to remember and commemorate) this monument and inscription fills the vacuum created - in the last century - by the destruction of the graves of of the great past Muslim
figures who contributed over 1,000 years to the greatness of Islam. Figures such as `Uthman ibn `Affan who used to ride on a donkey and sleep on the mosque floor when he was caliph; `Uthman ibn Mazun whose grave the Holy Prophet Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi Wa Sallam personally built up; Malik ibn Anas who walked barefoot in Madina out of respect for Rasulullah Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi Wa Sallam; our mothers the Prophet's wives; his daughters, uncles, cousins, and thousands of Sahaba all left without one sign - i.e. monument or inscription - reminding of their existence or "services rendered to Islam." But why remember them? Wouldn't that be... `IBADA!?

Conclusion:

It is hoped that this brief description will help dispel the false and unjust notion that no Mawlid of any kind is celebrated in the Wahhabi/"Salafi" world today. Yes, they celebrate Mawlid, rejoice and remember like everybody else - but in their own special way, WITHOUT `ibada. As Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta'ala said: "Every party rejoices in what they have." And the Holy Prophet Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi Wa Sallam said: "When someone loves something, they make abundant remembrance of it." May Allah reward everyone of them for NOT making `ibada with innovated Mawlids, all according to their intention and according to what they deserve!

Bear this one thing in mind: These shayateen have the cheeks to say that Milad-un-Nabi (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) is Shirk & Bid'ah, yet in the LA Times, they openly join in the celebration of Christmas. :angry::angry:
So let's get this straight. According to the Najdis:
a. Milad of Nabi Isa ibn Maryam, Christmas, which is actually a pagan Greco-Roman celebration, is considered to be a sacred event.
b. Milad of the Holy Last Messenger, Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim, is "bid'ah, shirk, kufr."

:angry: La'natullah 'alaa-l-kaadhibeen wa alaa-l-munafiqeen! :angry:

Heaven and hell

razmer — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:01:08 GMT

The other day I was haivng a discussion with one of my husband's cousins and his aparent problem with religion was that it sends every perosn who disagrees with us to hell and everyone we like to heaven. According to him some great human beings were not muslims and the idea of sending them to hell was beyond his understanding.

I have only one point on this topic:

That is not my job. Why? Because that is God's job. My job is to be a good 'human' which is the ultimate goal of Islam.

So if I do not send every third person in this world to hell what does that make me?

Deo-bandi view on the blessed parents of RasoolAllah salalaahu alaihi wasalam

I was hoping someone could inform me of the view of the Deo-bandi Ulema particularly their elders (Ashraf Ali thanvi, Rashid Gangohi, Khalil Ahmed etc) on the parents of the Holy Prophey salalaahu alaihi wasalam.

Can I give Bay’ah to another Murshid?

YoungBrother — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 21:51:34 GMT

Asalaam Alaikum,

Why do so many people say bad things about Shaykh Nazim? Everytime I watch his videos or see his picture hear someone talk about him I get in high spirits.

Another question-

I am a mureed of Pir Naqeeb ur Rehman, but I dont feel connected with him at all, I dont know why this is, he has been to my home twice and I have visited Eid Gah Shareef and been to a Mehfil(gathering) of his. But I really do not feel conected like I should with my pir. I feel more connected with Shaykh Nazim and I have never met im. I am very confused, is it possible for me to do bayah to Shaykh Nazim? I have nothing against my Pir, I mean he is a Wali of Allah(SWT) but I just do not feel connected like other mureeds, who touch his feet and kiss his hands. Any advice???

JazakAllah Khair.

Question, Who was the saint?

Owais qadri — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 18:42:52 GMT

I remember I heard this story once that there was a saint and that shaitan once came upto him and told him that there Allah (azzawajal) did not exist. So he gave him a proof of that Allah (Azzawajal) did exist. So shaitan gave him a counter answer. Then he gave him another proof and shaitan gave another counter. This continued until 360 proofs and counters were given. Than the saints peer threw his shoe and hit satan and his peer got mad at the saint saying that why are you debating, it should be enough proof to us that Allah azzawajal told us to believe in him. What was the name of this saint? it is also said that those proofs were written down, so where could we find them.

Heard this narration months ago so correct me if I am wrong. Jazakallahu Khair.

Where will Muslims be in 5 years time?

ImamSuyuti — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 03:05:52 GMT

For the past year or so I have become distant from the Molvis and their "centres" which are at times called Masajid's. I have spent the last 12/13 years in and out of Madaris both studying and teaching, I have sat amongst the Mullahs and have come to the conclusion that majority of the molvis are power hungry and gold diggers; who are after name and fame.

The amount of practicing/pious Ulamah I have seen is next to none and it is very worrying. If this is the state of the Molvis then what about the awaam like myself? Which brings me to my question:

Where will the Muslims be in 5 years time?

What have the Muslims done in the past 5 years?

Reply to 17 objections on Milad Shareef

muhammad owais qadri — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:22:44 GMT

FIRST OBJECTION

Meelad celebration is declared as Haraam and an evil Bid’at because of the following reasons:

The compulsory nature assigned to Meelad by its votaries.
It was completely unknown to the Messenger of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta'ala / Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi Wa Sallam, hisnoble Sahabah and the great Jurists and Ulema of Islam (pg.12).

OUR ANSWER

No Sunni Muslim believes that Meelad celebration is compulsory. We believe that the Meelad celebration is Mustahab (recommended). Alamma Ismail Haqi (radi Allahu anhu) quotes in “Tafseer Ruhul Bayaan”: “Imam Jalaaluddin Suyuti has said that it is Mustahab for us to celebrate Meelad of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as to thank Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta'ala”. (Ruhul Bayaan, Vol. 9,pg. 56). Majlisul Ulema claims that Meelad is not even Mustahab (pg. 12).
I could present many facts to prove that the Meelad celebration is Mustahab, but would prefer to leave you, the reader, with the view and belief of the great Imam Suyuti Rahmatullahi Ta'ala Alayh. Let us see what Fatwa Majlisul Ulema will give on Imam Jalaaluddin Suyuti Rahmatullahi Ta'ala Alayh!

CHALLENGE

If Majlisul Ulema is honest in their claim that the Ahlus Sunnah Wa Jamaah believe that Meelad celebration is necessary, then they must show us the proof of who wrote that?

It is true that in the time of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), the period of the Sahabah and in the period of the Tabi’in, Meelad was not celebrated as it is done in the present form. But the Noble Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), Sahabah or Tabi’in did not prohibit it as well. This is an accepted principle of Shari’ah that the performance of something is proof of Jawaaz (permissibility), and not doing it is NOT the proof of it’s prohibition. The same principle has been explained by Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi in “Nashrut-Teeb”, pg.87, published by World Islamic Publishers, Delhi. Your claim that the Sahaba did not celebrate Meelad is destroyed by your own leader! In fact, this style of argument is childish and not academic. Please try to find some other proofs so that you may be heard!

The Noble Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), the Sahabah and the Tabi’in did not have Ijtima, Ghust, forty days or Shab Ghuzari. The present form of “Tableegh” activities are completely unlinked with Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), the Sahabah, Tabi’in and Jurist Imams (radi Allahu anhum). Following the same principles, why don’t you also regard these “Tableegh” related activities as Haraam? I suppose that you have taken Shari’ah as your slave-girl, therefore, Shari’ah must give ruling according to your desire. Allah forbid!

----------------------

SECOND OBJECTION

The Meelad celebration is declared as Haraam and an evil Bid’at by Majlisul Ulama due to the following reasons:-

1) The practice of Qiyaam or standing in reverence when the Salaami or Salwaat is recited.

2) The votaries of Meelad believe that it is Fardh (compulsory) to make Qiyaam (standing) during these Meelad functions.

3) They proceed further to commit an act of extreme gravity by branding as Kaafir the one who does not make this Qiyaam in the Meelad celebration.

4) Kitaabs written by the votaries of Moulood ambiguously state that the one who does not make Qiyaam (standing) is a Kaafir.

5) Hazrat Anas (radi Allahu anhu) narrates the following Hadith: “There was none whom the Sahabah loved as much as Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). When they saw Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), they did not stand because they knew that he detested this (practice of standing)”.(Tirmizi ; Musnad Ahmed) (pg. 12) In the commentary of this Hadith, Majlisul Ulama writes that the “Sahabah did not stand in respect of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and that Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) disliked such a practice”.(pg. 13)

6) Majlisul Ulama write: Why don't you people stand when Rasoolullah’s (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) name is mentioned in Tashahud, lectures, reciting of the Kalima, Khutba, etc.? Why you do not stand when the Quraan is recited or when Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta'ala's name is mentioned? (I have summarised this question) (pg. 13 -14).

7) Others again stand because of a reason which is much more dangerous than the reason for which the majority of people stand. Some cherish the believe that the Soul of our Nabi (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) presents itself at these sessions of Meelad, hence it is necessary to stand in respect. This is a fallacious and a highly misleading belief.This belief leads to Shirk or association with Allah Ta'ala in an attribute which is exclusive in Divinity. Let us assume that A holds a Meelad function in his home, B does the same in his home, C also has a Meelaad celebration and D does likewise also. Meelaad functions are taking place in various masaajids all over the world. Now let us assume that these functions happen to take place at the same time and the Salaami is being recited at these various venues at once at the same time. A is under the impression that Rasoolullah's (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) Soul is present at his function. B, C, D and the people in the various masaajid all over the world are under the same impression. We have assumed that the Salaami is being recited at the same time in the various places, hence it will follow that our Nabi (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is present at the place of A, B, C, D, etc. at one and the same time.In other words, this belief means that our Nabi (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is present here, there and everywhere at one at the same time. This is bestowing the Divine Attribute of Omnipresence upon our Nabi (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Thus, this belief assigns to our Nabi (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) Divinity by way of according Omnipresence to our Nabi (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). This is in reality the commission of Shirk which is a capital crime - a crime most heinous in the Eyes of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta'ala (pg. 15)[/list]

OUR ANSWER

1) The Peer-o-Murshid (Spiritual leader) of the Ulema-e-Deoband, Hazrat Haji Imdadullah Muhaajir Makki (radi Allahu anhu) writes: “The way of life of this Faqeer (Muhaajir Makki) is that I participate in the assembly of Moulood, and I celebrate this function every year and regard this assembly as a source for blessings and I find enjoyment in Qiyaam (standing)”. (Faisala HaftMas'ala, pg. 5, printed by Madani Qutub Khana, Multan, Pakistan).

The following issues are proven from the above quotation of Hazrat Haji Imdadullah (radi Allahu anhu):

A - The Peer-o-Murshid says that Qiyaam is Ja’iz (permissible) and that he finds enjoyment in it. The Mureeds say that it is Haraam and evil Bid’at. I am sure that both cannot be correct. If the Mureeds are correct then it would mean that the Murshid has commited an act which is Haraam and evil Bid’at. But, if the Murshid is correct, then the Mureeds have given a wrong Fatwa on the Murshid for committing a Haraam and an evil Bid’at. Is this the Adab (respect) shown by the Ulema-e-Deoband for their spiritual leader? The Majisul Ulama do not feel ashamed in addressing themselves as spiritual students of such a person, on one hand, yet this noble personality practiced something which they condemned as unacceptable.

B - Committing Haraam makes a person a sinner and to announce the sin makes a person a Fasiq-e-Mo'lin (an open sinner). It is Haraam to make Bai't (allegiance) on the hand of a Fasiq-e-Mo'lin.The spiritual Silsila (order) of the Majlisul Ulama becomes munqa-te (inconsistent) if their Murshid committed a Haraam act (which is Qiyaam). Why then do their Mashaa’ikh deceive people by making them their Mureeds, since they have no consistent spiritual order.

OUR ANSWER

2) This is another false and baseless accusation. No one has ever said that the act of Qiyaam in Meelaad functions is Fardh.Aa'la Hazrat, Imam Ahle Sunnat, Moulana Ahmed Raza Khan (radi Allahu anhu) writes: “Qiyaam is consistently practiced by famous Imams. None of them refuted or denied this. Therefore, it is Mustahab (recommended)”.(Iqaamatul Qiyaamah, pg. 19, Noori Qutub Khana).

Our Challange
You are requested to quote from an authentic source to prove that we have declared Qiyaam in Salaato-Salaam as Fardh.

APPEAL
We appeal to the public who follow the Ulema-e-Deoband that they should ask them proof for their claims.If they cannot present a proof, which I am certain that will be unable to, then at least tell them to please stop lying and to stop causing Fitna.

OUR ANSWER
3) Another baseless accusation and an open lie. We have never ever branded anyone as Kaafir just because he does not participate in the act of Qiyaam (standing). Qiyaam is only regarded as Mustahab according to us. One who leaves a Mustahab act is not even a sinner, let alone becoming a Kaafir. Those who stop the people from taking part from Qiyaam or Meelaad are absolutely wrong because they are stopping people from taking part in a Mustahab act.

Aa'la Hazrat (radi Allahu anhu) or any other Ulema-e-Ahle Sunat have given the Fatwa of Kufr only against those people who were Mirza’i or those who insulted Almighty Allah and His Rasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Even till today, their blasphemous statements are being published in their books.

Now read carefully what Moulana Murtuza Hassen Naazim-e Taaleemat-e Darul Uloom Deoband has to say in this regard: “Khan Bereilvi says that some Ulema of Deoband do not accept Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as Khaatamun Nabiy’yeen, regard the knowledge of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) equal to animals and the insane, and regard Shaytaan as more knowledgeable than Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), therefore, they are Kaafirs. All the Ulema of Deoband say that this ruling of Khan Saheb is correct. Whoever makes this type of statement is a Kaafir Murtad (apostate) and cursed one. Bring your Fatwa. We will endorse it as well. One who does not regard these type of Murtads (apostates) as Kaafir, he is also Kaafir. These beliefs are indeed blasphemous”. ( Ashaddul Azaab, pg.11).

“If, according to Khan Saheb, some Ulema of Deoband were really like that as he thought, than it was Fardh (compulsory) on Khan Saheb to declare them as Kaafirs. If he did not call them Kaafirs, then he himself would have become Kaafir”. (Ashaddul Azaab, Moulana Murtaza Hassen Dar Banghi, pg. 12).

The following issues are proven from the above two statements from “Ashaddul Azaab”:-

A. Aa'la Hazrat (radi Allahu anhu) did not regard anyone as Kaafir because of not participating in Meelaad or Qiyaam.

B. Aa’la Hazrat (radi Allahu anhu) only regarded those people as Kaafirs who insulted Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).

C. The principles upon whom the Fatwas of Kufr were given are accepted between D******i and Sunni Ulema.

D. Aa'la Hazrat (radi Allahu anhu) was compelled by the Shari’ah to issue Fatwas of Kufr upon those people, otherwise he himself would have become Kaafir.

E. Aa'la Hazrat (radi Allahu anhu) had given the Fatwa of Kufr on only few people - those who wrote blasphemous statements, and those who after understanding fully these statements, regarded them as accurate and in the spirit of Islam and Shari’ah.

Our Challange
We challenge Majlisul Ulema and all their affiliates to prove that which recognised Sunni Aalim has written that those who do not participate in Qiyaam are Kaafirs. If they can prove their claims, I will leave Sunnism to join them.

APPEAL
I appeal to the Tableegi Jamaat: Obtain the proof from your Ulema, because if you are able to obtain this proof from your Ulema, you will win me over in your mission. Lots of others will come with me aswell and your job will become easier as well as you have been trained to convert people from Islam into the fold of Tableegism. We are prepared to come and join you just with one condition - just obtain the proof for us. If you are unable to do so, then do the real Tableegh and tell your Ulama, “Shame on you. What do you want to achieve through lying?” The people are not fools out there. Please stop lying!

OUR ANSWER

4) This is another lie. If Kitaabs are written by the Meelaad supporters whereby it is stated that those who do not make Qiyaam are Kaafirs, why then did you not give the name of at least one Kitaab? Readers, please phone and write to Majlisul Ulama and the Y.M.M.A. and demand from them at least one of the names amongst of those Kitaabs.

5) Moulana Mohammed Zakaria, the author of “Tableeghi Nisaab”, explains the Hadith of Hazrat Anas (radi Allahu anhu) in “Sharah Shama’ile Tirmizi”: “This Hadith indicates towards the high degree of humbleness of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) did not like (that people should stand for him), although he is possessor of high glory and is Master of both the worlds. Therefore, the Sahabah sometimes did not stand due to the love because Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) disliked it as it is the requirement of this narration (of Hazrat Anas) and sometimes they used to stand due to the demand of love”.

It is stated in “Abu Dawood” that, “Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) used to talk to us in the masjid. When Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) used to stand, we used to stand up and we used to remain standing till Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) used to get into the home”. (Sharah Shamaa’ile Tirmizi,pg. 342, Maktaba Rahmania , Lahore).

Moulana Zakaria explains the reason for not standing, “Qazi Ayaz (radi Allahu anhu) says that, ‘Qiyaam is prohibited whereby somebody well known is sitting and rest of the people are standing. Therefore, in the Hadith of prohibition (from Qiyaam), it is also said, ‘ do not stand as the Ajmees (non- Arabs) stand for their chiefs’”. (Sharah Shamaa’ile Tirmizi,pg. 342)

Moulana Zakaria writes further: “Imam Nowvi Rahmatullahi Ta'ala Alayh says that it is Mustahab to stand for Ulema, respectful and noble people”. (Sharah Shamaa’ile Tirmizi,pg.342).

Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi has written a long story about Moulana Qassim Nanotwi and Hakim Abdus Salaam. “Hakim Abdus Salaam had a desire to meet Moulana Nanotwi who was at the time sitting with many people. When Hakim Abdus Salaam arrived, everybody stood up to pay respect to him”. (Arwahe Salaasa, pg. 230,story number 215,Islami Academy, Lahore.)

The narration of “Abu Dawood” proves that the Sahabah used to stand for Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and the reason for prohibition was also dealt with. Imam Nowvi (radi Allahu anhu) said: “It is Mustahab to stand for Ulemaand Moulana Nanotwi and all his fellows stood up to pay respect for Hakim Abdus Salaam”.

I suppose that Majlisul Ulamaare quick to condemn others and are lazy to study the literature of their own elders. Do we have to teach the Majlisul Ulama about their household matters also!

OUR ANSWER

6) This objection is not worth any consideration. If Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta'ala gives Tawfeeq to someone that every Zikr he recites or listens to from the beginning to the end in a standing position, it is a good practice and we will not stop him. We will not tell him to only stand at the time that the Salaami is recited and to remain seated for the other Ibaadah . It is difficult for people to stand in a Meelad assembly from the beginning to the very end, so they stand up when the birth of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is being mentioned or when the Salaami is read.

Why did the Ulema of Deoband open a Darul Uloom in Deoband and not in Makkah? Why do South African Tableeghis have Ijtijma during the Easter holidays and not in the December holidays? Why did Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi write “Nashruteeb” in the Zikr of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and not write a separate book about the Zikr of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta'ala only? Can someone prove Hurmat (prohibition) with these types of silly arguments?

OUR ANSWER

7) Majlisul Ulema's spiritual guide, Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi,writes: “Mohammed Al Hazrami Majzoob was a possessor of amazing qualities and miracles. Once, he performed Jummah and gave Khutbah in 30 cities at the same time. He could be present in many cities in the same night”.(Jamalul Auliya, pg. 188,Maktaba Islamia, Lahore).

Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi believed and trusted this story, therefore, he has included it in his book, “Jamalul Auliya”. The presence of Mohammed Al Hazrami in many places was accomplished with his physical body. The physical world is a restricted place. Mohammed Al Hazrami was the servant of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). He indeed achieved this station because of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). One can now imagine the powers and the station of the mubarak (blessed) Soul of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) who is the Master and Chief of all the Prophets Alayhimus Salaam. So the possibility of his soul being present in many places should not even be an issue of debate amongst Muslims.

If it was Shirk to believe that one person can be present in many places, then according to your own Fatwas, your elder, Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi, is a Mushrik because he believed in the correctness of the story of Mohammed Al Hazrami. Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi mentioned the story in his book and did not refute it. This proves that this story is authentic according to him and correct in his view.

Moulana Qassim Nanotwi explains the meaning of this verse “An Nabi Yu Aula Bil Mu’menina Min Anfosihim ....” by saying: “Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has such nearness with his Ummah that even their souls do not have, because in this verse the word ‘Aula’ is in the meaning of ‘Aqrab’ (nearest)." (Tahzeerun Naas, pg.14, Darul Isha’at, Karachi).

According to the explanation of Moulana Nanotwi, the meaning of the verse will be “The Nabi (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is nearer to the Believers then their own lives”. Our lives are “present”. Nobody can deny this fact because if the life is absent then it would mean that we are dead. Our being alive proves that our life is “present”.I cannot seem to understand that when our life itself is “present” and the one who is nearest to us than our own lives, is regarded as being “absent”. If someone believes that the Nabi (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is “present”,then he is a Mushrik! What logic is this? Will the Majlisul Ulema or any other D******i Aalim be able to prove that the one who is nearest to our lives is absent? Let's see how much logic you can have behind your arguments.

Hazrat Haji Imdadullah Muhaajr Makki (radi Allahu anhu) writes: “Our Ulema fight in the issue of Meelad Shareef. The Ulema believed in its permissibility as well. When the side of permissibility exists, why then is there so much hardness on this issue? For us, it is sufficient to follow the people of Haramain (Makkah and Medina). At the time of Qiyaam one should not have the belief of Tawallud (that Rasoolullah - sallal laahu alaihi wasallam -is born now). The possibility of the arrival of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in the Meelad assembly is not wrong because the bodily world is restricted to time and place, but the spiritual world is free from both. So the arrival of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is not far from being possible”. (Shamaime Imdaadiya, pg.50,Madani Qutub Khana, Multan).

----------------------

THIRD OBJECTION

Meelad celebrations are declared as Haraam and an evil Bid’at because of the following reason: “Meelaad functions are regarded as being of greater importance than Salaat and performance of Salaat in Jamaat”.

OUR ANSWER

This is another false accusation. No Muslim ever regards the Meelad function as being more important than Salaat. It is almost 10 years that I am residing in South Africa and I have attended hundreds of Meelad fuctions. Alhumdullilah, I have always found that the Salaat arrangement had been made with Jamaat. Those who are not punctual with their Salaat will miss Salaat even if they are sitting at home or are gone to attend a Tableeghi Ijtima. Now, due to some people not reading Salaat, does this make the Meelad function Haraam?

It is strange that those who have never attended Meelad functions, to them no arrangement of Salaat is made and people don't read Salaat at Meelad functions. You are giving testimony of an issue to a place in which you have not been present! Is this correct according to the Law of Shari’ah? This objection is just an excuse to stop people from participating in the Zikr (remembrance) of our beloved Rasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).

Sometimes we observe in a Nikah (marriage) assembly that people get delayed due to some reason. Thereafter, some read their Salaat while others do not. Will one pass a Fatwa that Nikah functions are Haraam? If a person traveling by car from Johannesburg to Cape Town misses a few of his Salaah or misses the Jamaat, will one pass a Fatwa that traveling in a car from Johannesburg to Cape Town is Haraam? If an assembly of Nikah and travelling remains Halaal, why then does the Meelad function become Haraam? What criteria are you using?

------------------------

FOURTH OBJECTION

Meelad functions are declared Haraam because of the following reason: “Qawwali - Music at Meelad functions”.

OUR ANSWER

This is another baseless accusation. I have never observed any function of Meelad in which Qawwali is sung. If anyone has Qawwali with music in a Meelad function then he or she should be stopped and told that it is not correct. They should be advised to put a stop to such an activity, but should not be stopped from celebrating the Meelad function.

Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha are days of worship and collective happiness for the Muslims. Some people have made these days as occasions of merry-making. On Eid-ul-Fitr, people in Johannesburg get together at the Zoo Lake. Inter-mingling of sexes is seen openly. Women wear fancy make- up on their faces. Blaring music is played. No Mufti has ever issued a Fatwa that Eid-ulFitr or Eid-ul-Adha should be stopped based on the non-Shari’ activities, or that the days of Eid should not be celebrated anymore. Eid celebrations are not stopped although many Haraam activities have certainly mixed with the occasion. Why then should the Milad celebrations be stopped?

-----------------------

FIFTH OBJECTION

Milad function is declared Haraam because of the following reason: “Reciting of verses which transgress the limits of legitimate praise, thus assigning a position of divinity to our Nabi (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).”

OUR ANSWER

Here is another lie and false accusation. We believe that if anyone writes or says anything which proves Divinity to our Rasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), then that person is a Kaafir and Mushrik. Majlisul Ulama failed to furnish any proof of the blasphemous verse being sung. This is another accusation based on assumption. This type of baseless accusation are not suitable at all for those who claim to be learned.

--------------------

SIXTH OBJECTION

Meelad function is declared Haraam and an evil Bid’at because of the following reason: “The congregation of various types of people such as fussaaq (open and rebellious sinners), immoral people with evil intentions, etc.)”

OUR ANSWER

Before I answer this objection, I would like to ask all the Ulema of Deoband - you say that the Prophet's and the Awliya do not have Knowledge of the Unseen, since when do you have the Knowledge of the Unseen for you are able to see the good or evil intentions of people?

Can you say with certainty that not one amongst all those thousands of people who attend the Ijtimais an open sinner?I am sure that you cannot because this type of claim can only be done via Wahi (Revelation). Many sinners definitely attend the Ijtima. Why then you do not issue the Fatwa that Ijtima and partaking in the Ijtima is Haraam and an evil Bid’at?

If an open sinner recites Quraan,will you stop the recitation because the sinner is participating in the recitation of the Quraan? So if any sinner attends the Meelad function, why then does the Meelad function become Haraam and an evil Bid’at?

Can we allow a Tablighi mowlana to lead prayers in a Sunni masjid when the Sunni mowlana is not present?

YusufSerally — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 04:41:01 GMT

Assalamu'alaikum dear learned brothers,

Our basti used to have one masjid of Tabligh / Wahabi aqeeda, and since a couple of years, Alhamdolillah, we Sunni brothers have managed to avoid having to read behind these deviants by erecting our own masjid. For instance, we do not need to re-do our namaz as recommended by Sunni scholars.

However, since a couple of months, we are facing the situation where a Tablighi mowlana stands on our imam's mosalla to lead farz namaz when our imam fails to come (for X reasons : sick or on granted leave). Genuine sunnis (I put it this way as unfortunately, some sunni brothers fail to take responsibility and stand firm against wahabi infiltration / attacks) have strongly objected to this.

1. Some would retreat to the sahan to perform their farz alone when the tabligh mowlana moves forward to lead prayers. Some would even go back home to read their prayers.

2. Some, by fear of be-adbi, read behind him, then re-do their namaz.

3. Unfortunately, a majority would read behind him and would not re-do their namaz, arguing it goes against Islam : One ummah, one Allah, common sajdah... Classic argumentation.

Now, our sunni imam reckons that we cannot read behind the other imam, and refers us to the masjid's committee for proper action.

Unfortunately, the president is not willing to change this situation, arguing that if no Sunnat Jamaat muswalli is more knowledgeable than the tablighi mowlana when our sunni mowlana is absent at the time of farz prayer, how can we prevent him from stepping forward.

We even brought a fatwa on this issue by Ala Hazrat to our dear mutawalli, but has been rejected, even though he considers himself openly as pakka Ahle sunnat!

My argument : I once heard a scholar relating a hadith (grateful if one could confirm / retrace) that Rassulullah s.a.w. told some sahabas not to read namaz behind another sahaba who was their imam, on the simple evidence that the latter spitted in the direction of Qaaba shareef. Be-adbi oblige! Now if someone lacks respect to Allah s.w.t and to our beloved Rassulullah s.a.w., how can we read namaz before them.

We would greatly appreciate your help / advices on this issue, specially if you could sustain with proofs from Quran & Hadith.

Jazaakumullah

Why is Smoking Haraam but not Coke and Sweets?

seeker — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 17:58:42 GMT

Assalaam alaykum,

Maybe I'm being stupid, but can someone please clarify for me this:

Smoking is haraam because......it is harmful to the body. Right?

But things like coke and sugary sweets are also harmful to the body! One could argue that drinking a bottle of coke every day for a week is worse than smoking a cigarette, so why isn't coke haraam? (It doesn't have to be coke, it could be any unhealthy food)

Smoking one cigarette a day will no doubt cause you to die early.
But eating a pound of halwa every day will cause you to die even earlier probably!

Where is my thinking flawed?

Jannati Darwaza in LAHORE

kalakahn — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 11:21:12 GMT

Did anyone watch umma channel last night, the topic was on a great wali named shaykh mohi-uddin chisiti rehmatula hai, may Allah bless his soul.

The Allama sahib mentioned that Allah blessed and honoured the shaykh that if anyone goes through the darwaza (door) he will become a jannati.

I found it very hard to believe such statement, because this can misguide laymen, and don't forget that is the ultimate goal of the satan to misguide people from the right path. If I believe in what Allama sahib mentioned then I don't need to read namaz, give zakat, fast etc.. just go through the door and assume I've been given jannat. I think there are a lot of people who think like this and go through the door.

I think our 4 sahaba have higher rank then a wali, how did Allah honour them (THE WHOLE UMMA FOLLOWS THEIR WAY AND THAT IS THE TRUE HONOUR), none of the 4 sahaba made such statements, our prophet (pbhh) said if there was to be another prophet then it would have been hazrat umar (rath), did hazrat umar made such statements???

My key question here is we hear from our ulema's that Allah honours his wali's by giving them what they want ie for example hazrat shaykh abdul qadir jilani (rht) said Allah has told him that 70,000 of his mureeds will go to jannat without hesaab. And there are so many other stories for other wali's aswell, my key question here is how did Allah honour our 4 sahaba's, because the sahaba's ranks are higher then walis, did hazrat Abu Bakar said Allah has told me so and so...

That's what I've been asking a lot of ulem's but uptill now no one has provided any evidence, so I ask some one to provide me with evidences that would be great.

This is according to (Hanafi Fiqh)

How is Witr read: when someone is reading alone and when your reading with an Imaam (Ramadhan)?

Also is Witr allowed to be read with an Imaam outside of Ramadhan?

My info;

when i read by myself i read FIRST RAKAT like this ni'ah subhanakalluah huma... then i read auzabillah and bismillah surah Fatiha and any surah (e.g surah shams) thwn rukooh sajda... START OF RAKAT 2 bismillah surah fatiha any surah (e.g. surah lahab) then rukooh sajda then sit in qa'adah postion reading half of tashahud then standing up. START OF RAKAT THREE (now this is the bit i need help in) according to me i read: bismillah surah fatiha and dua e qanoot. (is this right or should i read...) bismillah surah fathia any surah (e.g. surah ikhlas) then Dua e Qanoot).

How it is read in Jamaat:

Imaam reads first two rakats same as me but i stay quiet and the imaam reads loudly then start of rakat three imaam reads surah fatiha then ANY SURAH then after that stays quiet for us to read dua-e-qanoot. is this the correct way please clarify it for me.

Yes i have made alot of Grammatical errors :P
