The honor of Sayyedna Mawla Ali bin abi Talib (Karram ALLAHu wajhahul kareem)with reference to Ashaab-e-Kahf ( Khabarnama-e-Khialfat-e-Islamia)

Sayyedna Mawla Ali bin abi Talib (Karram ALLAHu wajhahul kareem) gave rare details about the Ashaab-e-Kahf, a group of 7 wali's of ALLAH who retired to a cave to escape the persecution of the King of that time who was forcing them to convert to polytheism and Shirk.



This group of 7 muqqaribeen wali's are mentioned in the Quran and are a source of much knowledge and learnings when it comes to the teachings and practice of Tassawwuf.



Once a group of Jews came to Sayyedna Mawla Ali bin abi Talib (Karram ALLAHu wajhahul kareem) and asked him such rare questions regarding them that no one else except ALLAH and HIS Beloved Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) knew and his (Karram ALLAHu wajhahul kareem)'s replies are mentioned below:





**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************



The Jewish man said: Tell me the story of a group of people who in the distant past, slept for 309 years and then were raised to life by God! Sayyedna Mawla Ali bin abi Talib said: They were the companions of the cave about whom God Almighty revealed verses to our prophet with their description. I will tell you the whole story from the Holy Qur’an if you are interested in it. The Jewish man said: O (Sayyedna Mawla )Ali bin abi Talib! I have heard about the Qur’an. Tell me about them if you know their names, the names of their fathers, the name of the city, the king, the dog, and their cave! Wrapping the Holy Prophet’s cloak round himself, Sayyedna Mawla Ali bin abi Talib said: O Jewish brother! My beloved, the Messenger of ALLAH told me the story as such:



In Rome, there was a city by the name of Ephesus or Tartus (before Islam, it was Ephesus and after the advent of Islam it was Tartus) ruled by a benefactor man. After a long time, the ruler passed away and the situation in that city became chaotic. The news of chaos reached a Persian king who was oppressor and unbeliever. With his military expedition to that city, he seized the city in a short time, and made that city his capital where he built a glorious palace. The Jewish scholar who was all ears, listening to what Sayyedna Mawla Ali bin abi Talib said, interrupted him, saying: O (Sayyedna Mawla )Ali bin abi Talib! Should you know anything about that palace, describe it more elaborately? Sayyedna Mawla Ali bin abi Talib said: O Jewish brother! The palace had been built of flat marble stones, one farasang long and one farasang wide with four thousand gold columns from which a thousand gold condyles with chain silvers hanging. The palace was illuminated with the best and most aromatic lamp oil. On the eastern side of the palace, there were two hundred windows and the same number on the western side. The sun lit the palace from morning till evening. A throne of gold measuring eighty meters long and forty meters wide, adorned with different precious Jewels, had been built. On the right side of the throne, there were eighty chairs on which senior officers who had ten thousand army men under their command were sitting at his beck and call.



On the left side of the throne too, there were eighty chairs on which scholars and judges were sitting, waiting for his command.



Then the king sat on the throne and put the royal crown on his head. The Jewish scholar once again interrupted Sayyedna Mawla Ali bin abi Talib and said: If you know anything about that crown, elaborate on it! Sayyedna Mawla Ali bin abi Talib said: The royal crown was made of melted gold having nine bases on which there was a pearl which radiated in night like a lamp. Fifty slaves who were the sons of senior officers with red silk coat and beautiful green breeches, a crown on head, bracelet on hand, ankle-ring on feet, with each having a club of gold in hand were standing over the king’s head ready to carry out his orders. Out of six sons of scholars who were younger, three stood on the right side and the other three on the left side. They were special cancellers without whose consultation the king did not decide on anything. The Jewish scholar said: O (Sayyedna Mawla )Ali bin abi Talib, what were the names of those six persons? Sayyedna Mawla Ali bin abi Talib said: My beloved, the Messenger of ALLAH said: The names of those standing on the right side were Amlikhius, Maximinyanius, and Motyanius, and those standing on the left side were Danius, Yanius, and Mertus.



When he sat on the throne and people gathered in the palace, three slaves entered from entrance. In the hand of the first slave, there was a gold chalice full of musk. In the hand of the second slave, there was a silver chalice full of rosewater and in the hand of the third slave, there was a bird which with a call started flying dipped its wings in the rosewater chalice. At another call, the bird started flying again, dipped its wings in the musk chalice, and with the last call, the bird started flying and sat on the royal crown, sprinkling rosewater and musk on the head and face of king.



Decius ruled over that territory for 30 years with peace of mind. During this time, no sorrow or pain afflicted him. This made him feel so arrogant that he claimed to be God. Hence, he called all the chiefs of tribes and associates, telling them about his claim. Whoever accepted his claim, he would be honored and given royal garments and whoever disobeyed him, would be murdered. Given that situation, people accepted his claim and started worshipping him instead of God either out of greed for royal garment or out of fear for death. This situation continued until a festival day when Decius was sitting on the throne with his royal crown on his head that one of the officers entered the palace and reported that the Persian army was quickly advancing towards them with the intention of war! Hearing this, Decius was so upset that he almost fainted. The crown fell off his head and he rolled on the ground from the throne. At this time, one of the three youths sitting on the right side of him, called Temlikha who was wiser than the others became pensive, saying to himself: If Decius is really God, as he claims, why he eats, drinks, and defecates like human beings whereas these acts are not Godly? Those six youths gathered in one another’s house, ate, drank, and enjoyed themselves. When the event happened to Decius, they happened to be in Temlikha’s house. The other five youth were eating and drinking but Temlikha abstained from eating or drinking. When he was asked the reason, he said: O brothers! A new idea has found its way into my heart which stops me from eating and drinking. They asked: What is that idea? He said: I have long been thinking as who is holding the sky which is spread like a canopy over our heads or what pillars are under it? Who is it that has made the sun and moon move and has decorated the sky with stars? I think the same about the earth. Who is linking the seas and the sky-touching mountains to stop from falling off? I ask myself who brought me to this world from my mother’s womb, gave me daily food, and nourished me.



After pondering, I have come to the conclusion that this world has a maker other than the tyrant and oppressive Decius! Hearing this, all the other youths bowed to him, kissed him, and said: Whatever has passed in your heart has passed in our hearts too. Now tell us what should be done! Temlikha said: O brothers! We have no option other than seeking refuge to the Lord of the heavens and the earth and fleeing this territory!



The other five youths said: Your decision is right. After this, Temlikha sold some of the dates of his palm-groove for three Dirhams, wrapped it in his cloak, saying to his companions: Ride on your horses so as to set out for a desert! The youths mounted their horses and went as far as three miles from their city. Temlikha said: We were in danger of being chased by the tyrant up to here but from now on we are safe. We should dismount our horses and let them go. We should go on our path in this desert till God will guide us on the right path.



The youths walked for seven Farsakhs but since they were not used to walking, their feet were bleeding. On their way, they met a shepherd from whom they asked for milk or water! Seeing their handsome faces, the shepherd said: What you want is with me. But you do not look like common people. You must be princes who have fled your country. Tell me your story. The youths said: O shepherd! We have a religion which does not prescribe telling lies! Will you keep our secret if we tell you the truth? The shepherd said: Yes, indeed. The youths told him the whole story.



Hearing their story, the shepherd while bowing to them, kissed them and said: What has gone into your heart, has gone into my heart too. I ask you now to give me a chance to return this flock of sheep to their owners and then to accompany you! The youths agreed. The shepherd returned the flock of sheep to their owners and joined the six youths with his dog.



Here the Jew once again interrupted Sayyedna Mawla Ali bin abi Talib (Karram ALLAHu wajhahul kareem) and asked about the color and name of the dog. Sayyedna Mawla Ali bin abi Talib(Karram ALLAHu wajhahul kareem)said: O Jewish brother, my beloved, the Messenger of ALLAH, informed me that the dog was black and white though black was prevailing and its name was Qatmir.



Seeing the dog was following them, one of the youths said: This dog with its barking may betray us. We would better drive it away to be safe from any possible danger. Nevertheless, however much they tried to drive it away, the dog did not take distance from them. Seeing that they insisted to expel it, the dog sat on its claws saying in human speech: Why are you driving me away while I bear witness that God is one and has no partner. Let me be with you and keep watch on you, hoping that I will get close to my Lord! Hearing this, the youths stopped driving it away and continued their way. The shepherd led the youths to the top of mountain till they reached a cave.



The Jewish scholar asked another question: O `Ali! What are the names of that mountain and the cave? Sayyedna Mawla Ali bin abi Talib(Karram ALLAHu wajhahul kareem) said: The name of mountain is “Yankloosh” and the name of the cave is “Wasid.”



Sayyedna Mawla Ali bin abi Talib(Karram ALLAHu wajhahul kareem) continued the story as such: There were fruitful trees and springs with wholesome water near the cave. They ate from the fruits of trees, drank from the wholesome water of springs, went to the cave at night and slept. The dog too slept at the entrance of the cave, keeping watch on them. At that time, God Almighty gave the angel of death a mission to grasp their souls. When this was done, God appointed two guardian angels for each to turn them from one side to the other and ordered sun to shine on the cave every morning and afternoon. The sun too carried out its mission accordingly.



When Decius returned to his palace from the venue of festival, he saw no sign of those six youths. Hence, he asked after them. A man who knew about the escape of the youths, said: Your majesty, they have fled your territory and have a God other than you! Hearing this, Decius who was furious, pursued them with a thousand army men and tracked them down to the top of mountain where the cave was. When they reached the entrance to the cave, having the impression that they had gone to sleep, Decius arrogantly said: They have been afflicted with a punishment worse than the one I wished to carry out about them. He immediately ordered the entrance to the cave to be blocked with stone and plaster, saying to his companions: If this heaven and earth has a God, let him save them from this situation!



The believing youths slept in that cave for 309 years without any soul. Then God Almighty at a dawn of a day, when the sun started shining, blew spirit into their bodies. They immediately rose up and saying to one another: Last night, we defaulted out prayer to God. Let us go to the spring of water! Going to the spring, they amazingly found that the spring had disappeared and the trees had dried up! They said with amazement: Has something happened during the night as a result of which the springs and green trees have dried up!?



At this time, God made them feel hungry. So one of them said: Which one of you will go to city to buy some bread? Be careful the bread is not mixed with the fat of pig! In this relation, God states: “Now send one of you with this silver (coin) of yours to the city, then let him see which of them has purest food” (18:19).



Temlikha said to them: You stay here, for no one but I can buy the bread. He then said to the shepherd: Give me your clothes and I will give you my clothes. He put on the shepherd’s clothes and headed for the city. On his way, he saw scenes and ways he had never seen before. Reaching the gate of the city, he caught sight of a green banner with the inscription: “There is no god but ALLAH, Jesus is ALLAH’s messenger” installed over the gate!



Looking with amazement at the banner, and rubbing his eyes, Temlikha said to himself: Am I dreaming? He paused there for a long time and then entered the city. He passed by a group of people who were reading Gospel (Injil) and saw people he did not know. At any rate, he decided to go to the market to buy bread. He asked the baker: What is the name of this city? He said: Ephesus. Temlikha asked: What is the name of the king? He said: `Abd al-Rahman. Temlikha said: If what you say is the truth, then I am facing a strange situation! Temlikha gave the money to him, saying: Give me bread for the value of this money. As Temlikha’s Dirhams were bigger and heavier than the current ones, the baker was surprised!



The Jew interrupted Sayyedna Mawla Ali bin abi Talib(Karram ALLAHu wajhahul kareem) for the fourth time, saying: O `Ali, what was the weight of those Dirhams? Sayyedna Mawla Ali bin abi Talib(Karram ALLAHu wajhahul kareem) said: My beloved, the Messenger of ALLAH informed me of it. The weight of each Dirham was equal to the weight of ten and one third of Dirhams.



The baker said: I believe you have found a treasure! Should you not give some of it to me I will surrender you to the king. Temlikha said: I have found no treasure. The Dirhams you see with me is the money for the dates I sold three days back and fled the city of the tyrant Decius! Being furious and surprised, the baker said: You have found a treasure, do not give anything from it to me, making fun of me, and mentions the name of a tyrant man who claimed to be God and died more than three hundred and odd years ago!



Then, the baker caught his hand to take him to the king. A large group of people gathered round them too. At this time, the king who was a wise and farsighted man arrived and asked about the event. People said: This man has found a treasure! The king asked Temlikha: If you have found any treasure, it will be yours. We follow the religion of Jesus. He has instructed us to receive only one fifth of it! So do not fear, for we will not harm you. Temlikha said: Your majesty! I assure you that I have not found a treasure. I am a native of this city. The king asked: Are you really a native of this city? Temlikha said: Yes. The king said: Name some of the people you know. Temlikha named a thousand persons whom neither the king nor the people knew! The king said: We do not know these people, for they do not live in our time. Then the king asked: Do you have a house in this city? Temlikha said: Yes, send someone with me to show him my house. The king appointed an agent to go with people to Temlikha’s house. They went from one street to another and from one alley to another till they reached the highest building. Temlikha said: This is my house and knocked the door. An old man whose eyebrows had fallen on his eyes due to senility appeared at the threshold. Being horrified, he said: What do you want from me? The king’s agent said: This young man claims this house belongs to him! The old man said angrily: What is your name? The young man said: Temlikha the son of Festin. The old man said: Say it again! He repeated his name and that of his father. All of a sudden, the old man hugged and kissed him, saying: By the Lord of Ka`bah, this young man is my grandfather. He is one of the six men who fled the tyrant Decius and took refuge with the Lord of the heaven and the earth. The proof is that Prophet Jesus (a.s) has told us about them saying: One day they will be raised to life. They told the story to the king who rode on the horse heading for them. Reaching Temlikha, the king dismounted from the horse and put Temlikha on his shoulder. People kept on kissing his hands and feet, asking him: O Temlikha! Where are your friends? Temlikha said: They are safe and sound in the cave.



In those days, the city of Ephesus was jointly run by a Muslim and a Christian. They mounted their horses and accompanied Temlikha up to the cave. Addressing them, Temlikha said: You wait here. I fear that if my friends hear the sound of horses’ hooves, feeling that Decius is chasing them, they will faint. Stay here for a short while so that I will inform them. People stopped outside the cave. Temlikha went to his friends who were pleased to see him, hugged him and said: Thanks God, you are safe from the evil of Decius. Temlikha said: Forget Decius and tell me how long you were in this cave. They said: One day or less than a day. Temlikha said: It is not so. We have been sleeping in this cave for 309 years! Now I should tell you that Decius is dead and the people of Ephesus believe in God after the passage of three centuries and they are now waiting to see you outside the cave! His friends said: Temlikha, are you going to put us to test by people? Temlikha said: What do you desire? They said: Raise your hands for prayer. They raised their hands for the same purpose, saying: O Lord! Through what you cast in our hearts and showed us, make us die and do not disclose our secret to anyone.



God gave the death angel the mission to grasp their souls and then God hid the entrance to cave in a way that the two Muslim and Christian men went round the cave for seven days but found no trace of the cave. They were ascertained that this event depended on the grace of God so that these youths will be a lesson for us and others. At that time, the Muslim governor said: These youths died in my religion, hence, a mosque must be built on the site of the cave, and the Christian man said: They died in my religion and a covenant must be built there! The dispute between the two ended in fighting and finally the Muslim man became victorious. Therefore, they built a mosque there. In this relation, the Holy Qur’an says: “Those who prevailed in their affair said: We will certainly raise a Masjid over them” (18:21). When the story came to here, Sayyedna Mawla Ali bin abi Talib(Karram ALLAHu wajhahul kareem) said: O Jewish man! This was the story of the companions of cave. Is this story conforming to your Torah? The Jewish man said: Yes, it conforms to the letter, but Abul Hasan, do not call me a Jew from now, for I bear witness that there is no god but ALLAH and Muhammad is HIS messenger and you are the most knowledgeable man of this Ummah.

Udhiyyah ( Khabarnam-e-Khilafat-e-Islamia) The slaughter of animals on the eve of Dhul Hijjah and the Islamic perspection

The slaughter of animals on the eve of Dhul Hijjah and the Islamic perspection

by, Professor H. I. Q. Qadiri





Definition



‘Udhiya’ is an Arabic word meaning "blood sacrifice", and ‘Qurbani’ is an Urdu and Persian word derived from the Arabic word "Qurban" which literally means an act performed to seek ALLAH’s pleasure. It is technically used f ...or the sacrifice of an animal slaughtered for the sake of ALLAH



The sacrifice of an animal has always been a recognised form of worship in many religions, but in the ‘Shariah’ (Islamic sacred law) of our beloved Prophet (Peace be upon him) the sacrifice of an animal has been recognised as a form of worship only during the three days of the month Dhul Hijjah- namely the 10th, 11th, and 12th .



ALLAH Ta’ala says in the Noble Quran:

"Verily, We have granted you (O Muhammad - Peace be upon him Al- Kauthar (a river in paradise),

So pray on to thy lord and sacrifice. For he who makes you angry will be cut off."

(Surah 10)

"And the camels! We have appointed them among the ceremonies of ALLAH, therein ye have good!"



Of all of the physical and spiritual worships the greatest is 'salah' and among the worships concerning wealth, sacrifice holds a distinguished position, because the original spirit of sacrifice was to sacrifice the soul. The replacement of an animal was made due to some reasons, as it is clear from the story of Hazrat Sayyedna Ibrahim (Alaihis salam) and Hazrat Sayyyedna Ismail (Alaihis salam). That is why in other places in the Quran the mention of ‘salaah’ is made together with ‘Qurbani’.

Origin of Qurbani


This act of ‘Udhiya’ is to commemorate the unparalleled sacrifice offered by the Hazrat Sayyedna Ibrahim (Alaihis salam) .When he, in pursuance to a command of ALLAH Ta’ala conveyed to him in a dream, prepared himself to slaughter his beloved son Sayyedna Ismail (Alaihis salam) and actually did so, but ALLAH Almighty after testing him of his submission, sent down a ram and saved his son from the logical fate of slaughter. It is from that time onwards that the sacrifice of an animal became an obligatory duty to be performed by every well to do Muslim.

Concerning this incident the Glorious Quran says:



"And when he attained the age of running with him (Sayyedna Ibrahim alaihis salam),

he said: "O my son verily I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering thee, so look, considerest thou?"

He said: "O my father! Do that which thou art commanded, thou shalt find me, ALLAH willing, of the patients."

"Then when the two submitted themselves and had prostrated him on his temple."

"We cried unto him: "O Ibrahim! Of a surety thou hast fulfilled the vision. Verily We! That was a trial manifest. And We ransomed him with a mighty victim. And We left for him among the posterity. Peace be unto Ibrahim. Verily We! Thus we compense the well doers. Verily he was one of Our believing bondsmen." (37:102-111)

Takbeerate-Tashreeq


The above incident led to the origin of ‘Takbeer-e-Tashreeq’.



Takbeer-e-Tashreeq is the recitation of ALLAHu Akbar ALLAHu Akbar, Laa Ilaaha Ill-ALLAHu WALLAHu akbar, ALLAHu Akbar walillahil hamd- after every Fardh salat commencing from Fajr of the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah till after Asr of the 13th of Dhul Hijjah. (Shaami Vol.1, pg.620)



Eminent jurispudents have stated that the origin of the ‘Takbeer-e-Tasreeq’ is when the Hazrat Sayyedna Ibrahim (Alaihis salam) made Hazrat Sayyedna Ismail lie down, ALLAH ordered Hazrat Sayyedna Jibraeel (Alaihis salam) to take along a ‘fidyah’(ransom) and when Hazrat Sayyedna Jibraeel (Alaihis salam) arrived there, he feared that Hazrat Sayyedna Ibrahim (Alaihis salam) would slaughter Sayyedna Ismail (Alaihis salam) and so he began shouting "ALLAH Akbar, ALLAH Akbar."



Hearing his voice, Hazrat Sayyedna Ibrahim (Alaihis salam) took it as a glad tiding and exclaimed, "Laa ilaaha allallahu wallahu akbar."

Hazrat Ismail (Alaihis salam)also came to know that the ‘fidyah’ arrived and he got up saying, "ALLAHu akbar wa lillahil hamd," and began to eulogise and thank ALLAH.


The Ideology of Qurbani


Mufakkir-e-Islam Peer Syed Mohyuddin Mahboob states that the philosophy behind ‘Udhiya’ is that it is a demonstration of total submission to ALLAH and a proof of complete obedience to ALLAH’s will or command. When a Muslim offers a ‘Udhiya’ this is exactly what he intends to prove. Thus, the ‘Udhiya’ offered signifies that he is a slave of ALLAH at his best. And that he would not hesitate even for a moment once he receives an absolute command from his Creator to surrender before it, to obey it willingly, even if it be at the price of his life and possessions.

This is exactly what the Hazrat Sayyedna Ibrahim (Alaihis salam) did.



Apparently, there was no reason why a father should slaughter his innocent son. But, when the command came from ALLAH, he never asked the reason to that command, nor did he hesitate to obey it.



This is the true philosophy of ‘Qurbani’.


Benefits of Qurbani (Udhiyyah)


The virtues of ‘Udhiya’ are established from the following ‘Ahadith’ (Traditions).



1)Hazrat Anas Ibn Malik (Radi ALLAHu ta'aala anhu) reported that Huzoor Muallim-u-Maqsood-e-Qa'inaat Rasool-e-Azam (Peace be upon him) sacrificed with his own hands, two white rams with black markings. He took the name of ALLAH and recited ‘Takbir’. Hazrat Anas Ibn Malik (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala anhu) states that he saw him putting his foot upon their buttocks and saying: "In the name of ALLAH. And ALLAH is the greatest". (Sahih Bukhari ,Sahih Muslim)



2)Hazrat Jaber (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala anhu) reported that Huzoor Muallim-u-Maqsood-e-Qa'inaat Rasool-e-Azam (Peace be upon him) slaughtered on the day of sacrifice two horned, white and black castrated rams. When he faced them towards the Qibla, he said: "Verily I turn my face towards the One who created the heavens and the earth, upon the religion of Abraham, being upright, and I am not one of the polytheists. Verily my prayer, my life and my death are all for ALLAH, the Lord of the worlds. There is no partner with him and I have been ordered that, and I am one of the Muslims. O ALLAH, it is Thine and for Thee, from Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and his Ummah: In the name of ALLAH. ALLAH is the greatest". He then slaughtered the rams. (Ahmed, Abu Daud, Ibne Majah)



3)Hazrat Umm-ul-Momineen Ayesha Siddiqa (radiyallahu anha) reports that Huzoor Muallim-u-Maqsood-e-Qa'inaat Rasool-e-Azam (Peace be upon him) said, "The son of Adam does not perform any actions on the day of sacrifice which is more pleasing to ALLAH than the shedding of blood. He will come on the day of resurrection with its hair, horns and hooves, and the blood certainly will fall in a place near ALLAH before it falls on the ground. So, make yourselves purified there with. (Tirmizi, Ibn Majah)



4)Hazrat Zaid bin Arqam (Radi ALLAHu ta'aala anhu) reports that the Companions of Huzoor Muallim-u-Maqsood-e-Qa'inaat Rasool-e-Azam (Peace be upon him) asked him: " Ya Rasulullah, what is this sacrifice?" He said: "it is the way of your fore father Ibrahim (Alaihis salam)." They asked: what (reward) is for us therein?" He replied: "There is a reward for every hair (i.e. the reward for meat and useful parts of the animal’s body will be very lofty in merit, but there will also be a great reward for the parts which are useless and thrown away such as the hair)."



They asked: "For the wool, Ya Rasulullah?" He replied: "There is one reward for every strand of wool." (Ahmed, Ibn Majah)


Persons it is Wajib on


‘Qurbani’ is ‘wajib’ (compulsory) according to Sayyedna Imam-e-Adham Abu Hanifah Noman Ibn Thabit (and sunnat-e-muakkadah according to other Imams) upon every ‘mukeem’ (domiciled) and who possesses 613.35 grams of silver or its equivalent in money, personal ornaments, stock in trade or any other form of wealth which is surplus to his/her basic needs. Each adult member of a family who possesses that much wealth must perform his/her own ‘Qurbani’ separately.

Hazrat Ibn Umar (Radi ALLAHu ta'aala anhu) reports that Huzoor Muallim-u-Maqsood-e-Qa'inaat Rasool-e-Azam (Peace be upon him) lived in Madinah Munawarah for ten years and performed ‘Qurbani’ every year. (Tirmizi)


Can a sacrifice be made on behalf of someone else


A sacrifice can be made on behalf of others such as minor offspring. This offering is not ‘wajib’ (compulsory) but is ‘mustahab’ (desirable). Similarly if one decides to sacrifice on behalf of the spouse or a father decides to sacrifice on behalf of an adult offspring (apart from offering his/her own ‘Qurbani’) can do so with their permission. A sacrifice can also be made on behalf of a deceased Muslim. This can be classified into three categories:



• 1- If the deceased had made a will for a sacrifice then, it is permissible to sacrifice to fulfil the will but is incumbent to give all the meat of the sacrificed animal to the poor and needy (those who are entitled to receive ‘Zakaat’). (Shami vol.5 p293)

• 2- Whether or not the deceased had made this will, his/her relative or friends can make a ‘nafl’ (voluntary) sacrifice from their own money; the meat of this sacrificed animal can be partaken by the rich and poor alike.

• 3- One may make a voluntary sacrifice from one’s own wealth for the deceased persons and this meat can partaken by all, rich and poor.

If ones intention is of mere remittance of recompense to a dead person then it will be superior to slaughter an animal during the Days of ‘Nahar’ instead of giving money in charity. This is because reward is attained both for spending wealth and for sacrificing.



In a ‘Hadith’ it is stated.



Hazrat Hanash (Radi ALLAHu ta'aala anhu) reported: I saw Hazrat Ali (Karram ALLAHu wajhahul kareem) sacrificing two rams. I asked him, "What is this?" He said: "Verily the Messenger of ALLAH (Peace be upon him) left instruction to me to sacrifice on his behalf, and so I am sacrificing on his behalf. (Tirmizi, Abu Daud)

Note: Huzoor Muallim-u-Maqsood-e-Qa'inaat Rasool-e-Azam (Peace be upon him) is so generous that he had sacrificed on behalf of his whole ‘Ummah’ and we see here Hazrat Ali (Karram ALLAHu wajhahul kareem) sacrificing for Huzoor Muallim-u-Maqsood-e-Qa'inaat Rasool-e-Azam (Peace be upon him) after he has passed away. We learn from this that we should also put a share of Huzoor Muallim-u-Maqsood-e-Qa'inaat Rasool-e-Azam (Peace be upon him) in our sacrifice.




Restrictions before practice of Udhiyyah


This could be understood from the following ‘Hadith’:


Hazrat Umm-e- Salama radiyallahu anha reports that the Huzoor Muallim-u-Maqsood-e-Qa'inaat Rasool-e-Azam (Peace be upon him)said, "Whoever sights the crescent moon of ‘Zul-Hijjah’ and is intending to make a sacrifice should refrain from cutting his bodily hair and paring his nails". (Muslim)



Thus after sighting the ‘Zul-hijjah’ crescent, it is desirable for a man intending to make a sacrifice to refrain from cutting the hair of his body and paring his nails till he has slaughtered the animal. This is because he is making a sacrifice in lieu of the sacrifice of his own life. Each part of the sacrificial animal is in lieu of each part of his own body.



Huzoor Muallim-u-Maqsood-e-Qa'inaat Rasool-e-Azam (Peace be upon him) has given this order that no part of his body may be absent at the time of the descent of divine mercy. If more than forty days have passed one should not be idle in removing unwanted hair, nails, etc, in order to save oneself from ‘karaahat’ (abomination).




Best Manner of Practicing Udhiyyah


It is preferable that one selects on animals oneself, nourishes it and becomes familiar with it, as this animal is to become the means great recompense and not only that, but it is a substitute for the sacrifice of ones own child.


Rules regarding the distribution of meat


Although the person offering a Qurbani can keep all its meat for his own use, yet it is preferable to distribute one third among the poor, another one third among his friends and relatives, and then keep the rest for his personal consumption. Thus, if possible, one should eat its meat on the very day.





The Shari' way of Practicing Udhiya



This has been explained in great detail by Mujaddidi-e-waqt, Qutb-e-Zaman, Imam-ul-ahnaf Hakeem-e-millat Abu Masu'd Peer Syed Mahmood Shah Muhaddis Hazarvi (Quddisa sirruhul azeez) in his book Ad-dawlatul Qaadiriya fi hilli Zabaaikh-il-Islaamiya. I briefly mention the details of this.



1. The jurists have clarified that it is prohibited to inflict pain to an animal when there is no benefit in doing so. It is stated in the book Dur-ul-Mukhtar:



"Any sort of pain infliction, which is of no benefit, is ‘makrooh’ (undesirable), for example; the cutting off the head and the skinning of the animal before the animal becomes still i.e. ceases to shake and shiver."



Since the aforementioned blow is not sufficient for slaughtering, therefore, it obviously is a means of hurting the animal without there being any benefit in doing so and this is prohibited in the ‘Shariah’. If anyone were to say that by this method no pain comes to the animal, but in fact it helps in discharging the blood from the body and it also idles the senses, then this is not true. The reason for this is that before it became unconscious the senses of the animal had been sound and after unconsciousness the breaking of the senses is not certain. It is possible that with the use of this instrument the movement becomes still, yet the senses remain sound. This is also stated in the book Dur-ul-Mukhtar:



"The nullification of the senses is not necessary for the inactivity of movement."



It is apparent that in the state of the senses remaining sound the use of this instrument will be means of no pain.



2. The ‘Shariah’ has stated that the purpose of slaughtering is to discharge flowing blood. It is obvious that, when conscious, the natural health of the body will be stronger, and further more, this is also evident that the discharging of flowing blood is an act of the healthy body. Hence the stronger the body health the more blood will be discharged. Thus, the purpose of the ‘Shariah’ will be fulfilled to a greater extent. Therefore, to cause less blood to discharge by weakening the body health purposefully is not permissible in the ‘Shariah’, as it leads to opposing the purpose of slaughtering.



3. The third point which is the most detestable, when the first two are disregarded, is enough to clarify the impermissibility of slaughtering an animal by hitting it or making it unconscious. This is that the person who carries this out will believe that this manner of slaughtering is more commendable than the way shown by the ‘Shariah’ (where the animal is not made unconscious). In respect of this he will think the method (of slaughtering) shown by the ‘Shariah’ as being inferior and defective, and to give priority to invention over revelation is close to ‘kufr’. ALLAH knows best and HE is The Most Wise.


Offering of Udhiyaah on days other than Dhhul Hijjah


If somebody out of his/her ignorance and negligence, did not offer ‘Qurbani’ on the three prescribed days (10th, 11th and 12th ‘Zulhijjah’) they should then give the price of the ‘Qurbani’ as ‘sadaqah’ (alms and charity) This does not mean that Sadaqah is an alternative, this will only be the case when it is not offered on the prescribed days, thus there is no alternative to ‘Qurbani’ in the prescribed days.



Conclusion



Finally I end by quoting the following ‘Hadith’:


Hazrat Abu Hurairah (Radi ALLAHu ta'aala anhu) reports that Huzoor Muallim-u-Maqsood-e-Qa'inaat Rasool-e-Azam (Peace be upon him) has said : "Whoever has the capacity to sacrifice and does not do so, should not come to the place where the Eid prayer is offered." (Ibn Majah). Hence we can understand the importance of ‘Udhiya’ from the above ‘Hadith’, therefore each and every Muslim who is obliged should offer it, and if possible within their domicile. This will not only create an atmosphere of ‘Eid’ and ‘Qurbani’ in the community but will also serve as a lesson for generations to come.

Bulbul Shah - Harbinger of Muslim period in Kashmir

Peer Syed Mohyuddin Mahboob

Prof. ML Kaul


They (Hindus) are particularly anxious about the natural strength of their country and therefore take much care to keep a strong hold upon the entrances and roads leading to it. In consequence, it is very difficult to have any commerce with them. In former times they used to allow one or two foreigners to enter their country, particularly jews, but at present do not allow any Hindu whom they do not know personally to enter, much less, other people’.

This was how Kashmir, acci dentally went the Islamic way after six hundred years of advent of Islam in India. The moment guards were lowered and defen sive measures ignored and skirted away, Kashmir which was already on the target list of Muslim rulers of India became critically vulnerable to all shades of sabotage, subversion and chaos. Two Kashmir kings, Harsa and Suha Dev, could be held as culprits who thoughtlessly permitted persons of doubtful antecedents to enter and stay in Kashmir. Harsa recruited alien Turks in his state army. Suhadev granted munifi cent patronage to an adventurer, Shah Mir, coming all the way from Swat. His Commander-in-chief, Ram Chander, gave refuge to a Ladakhi prince who otherwise would have been cruelly butchered by the enemies of his clan

The syndrome of over-confi dence buttressed by high-scale strides and achievements that Kashmiris had registered in all spheres of human knowledge in cluding abstract thought had made Kashmir rulers lax in matters of defence especially in giving entry to persons of unknown credentials. Having frustrated designs of the invading hordes led by Mahmud Gaznavi must have certainly bolstered up con fidences graph of the rulers by many nautches. Not cognising the changes in the religious complexion of the immediate neigh borhoods as effected by Mahmud Gaznavi Hindu rulers stuck to a high moral ground of granting generosity and compassion to fleeing men in pain and distress.

As they breathed an ethos of liberalism, tolerance and mutual accommodation the idea of putting crippling curbs on the for eigners of any variety never crossed their mind. Shah Mir, though an alien Muslim, was al­lowed unrestricted to come to the top perch of the administrative, apparatus of the land. Rinchen, despite a feuding background had free access to the garrisoned quarters of the army chief of the kingdom. He was granted even a Jagir for sustenance.

Sharf-ud-Din, a Musavi Sayyid, an Islamist missionary was a Suharwardian in matters of allegiance and practice. The sect was known as Suharwardy as it was founded by Sheikh Zia-ud-Din Abul Suharwardy. One of his prominent disciples Niamat Ullah Farsi had initiated Sharf-ud-Din in the rudimentary for­malities and ritualistic modes of the sect. After being forced out of his birth-land he is credited with having founded the sect in Kashmir after being granted asylum by Suha Dev. Many other Sayyid-Sufis of the same sect had arrived in Kash mir much before him but they had to move out for want of patronage. As an Integral part of the whole can vas of Indian civilisation Kashmir had achieved a remarkable name in the domain of religion and science (Alberuni) and as such had riveted the glaring at tention of religious leaders. The Brahman monks from Kashmir had Sanskritised the borders deep down to the vast swathes of cen tral Asia, Tibet, China and Mongol lands.

In the meantime Kashmir was plunged into a messy chaos, when Zulju invaded Kashmir with an army of 60,000 soldiers, mostly turks and mongols and reduced it through unprec edented loot, plunder and detest able slaughter. In the words of Jonraj, ‘Kashmir presented a piti ful spectacle. Further pitilessly wailed and moaned when father fought his son. Brother separating from his brother lost him for ever...Depopulated, un cultivated, grainless and gramineous, the country of Kashmir offered, as it were, the scenario of primal chaos’.

Zulju, cruel and heartless, massacred thousands of Kashmiri Hindus and put them to horrendous cruelties and atrocities. Having looted and destroyed the last bit of grains Hindus, painfully died from starvation and poverty. There was so much of horrifying bloodshed that rivers and rivulets all went gory with the blood of Hindus. Corpses could be seen littering over large spaces of Kashmir. He was so pitiless and tyrannical that he got even wild grass burnt down as it might sustain the blighted Hindus. Fifty thousand Hindus, men, women and children, got perished in a blizzard at the foot-hills of Banihal when Zulju was lashing them along for their sale in the slave market of Turkestan.

In the wake of devastating havoc wrought by the devilish Zulju and his huge army, Ram Chander played a commendable role in repulsing the raid launched by the Gaddies of Kishtwar. Taking advantage of chaos and political instability Rinchen, who had enjoyed full shelter and succour, resorted to a sordid strategy of getting Ram Chander, the army chief of Kash mir, murdered through his ac complices from his native place and captured the throne. Thus Kashmir fell into the hands of one who had sought refuge in Kashmir and enjoyed large hearted magnanimity of Kashmiris.

Capturing the throne through deceit and murder, Rinchen, a moral wreck, though diffident and unsteady on his feet yet keen to consolidate his position begged of Deva Swami, a Shavite saint and scholar to al low him prompt admittance into the Hindu fold. As Hindus detest conversions and have no history of conversions he was flatly re fused admittance in the faith. But, keenly desirous of indentifying himself with a clus ter of people, no matter howso ever small the group, he was led to Sharf-ud-Din, historians say by another outsider Shah Mir for conversions to the faith that he harboured granted him admit tance into Islam without any for mal baptisation. It was at a later date that Persian chroniclers as signed him the name of Sadrud-din, thus lending him legitimacy as a Muslim. But, to Jonraj, a native historian, he was Rinchen who was obstinately refused en trance into Hindu fold.

Rinchen joined the ranks Muslims only to win support for his deceitful capture of throne from a group of people as inse cure as he himself was. In psy­chological terms his condition could be diagnosed as that of a paranoid who felt highly insecure and nervous when he found him self surrounded by the same vast numbers of people who had pit ied his distressed state as a fugi tive from Ladakh and granted him refuge. He failed to remain in power as indigenous people through a revolt inflicted a wound on his head thus killing him.

The Persian chroniclers have deliberately woven a myth that Rinchen had spiritual restless ness which he yearned to be calmed down through expert spiritual guidance at the hands of a preceptor. It is also recorded that Deva Swami, a Shaivite saint and scholar, failed to satisfy his spiritual yearnings and urges. The bitter fact is that Rinchen had no spiritual cultivation and had no spiritual aspirations and yearnings. Showing external al legiance to Islam was his political chicanery. As evidenced by Jonraj, he was savagely brutal as he ripped open the soft bellies of pregnant women of Ladakhis who were his sworn enemies. There can be much of pith in the statement if it be said that proselytisation campaign in Kashmir was in dire need of one like Rinchen who would serve its ends through Qahran and Jabran (Baharistan). On Sharif-ud-Din’s persistent proddings Rinchen constructed the first-ever mosque in Kashmir.

For Sharf-ud-Din a hospice was built and for its up-keep revenues of a number of villages were assigned to it. A langar-Khanna was established for the poor.

Prior to Rinchen's conversion, he could not build a mosque nor a hospice, nor could be establish a langar-Khanna. It is pertinent to put that Muslim expressions came to be set up only after Islam was adopted a state religion.

1st Muslim Saint in Indian Kashmir

By: Peer Syed Mohyuddin Mahboob

Hazrat Bulbul Shah: 1st Great Muslim Sufi Saint of Kashmir

HAZRAT BULBUL SHAH

Newsline From Jammu and Kashmir Government -

Ist Great Muslim Sufi Saint of Kashmir

Hazrat Sharaf-ud-Din Abdul Rehman Bulbul Shah laid foundation of Sufi and secular culture of Kashmir in the year 1320 A.D. historians, scholars and intellectuals are of the opinion that like other great civilizations of the world. The origin of Sufi civilization of Kashmir worldwide known as Kashmiriyat lies in the philosophy of brotherhood and mutual love respectability as propagated by Bulbul Shah commonly known as Amir-i-Kashmir and Baadashah-i-Kashmir. Wheather he was actually born in Kashmir and later on received religious education in Turkistan and Bhagdad or he was actually born in Turkistan and later on visited Kashmir where he permanently stayed till his death is subject to various scholarly opinions. However, it is clear that like other great Sufi saints of Kashmir his grave and shrine is present in the Valley.

During the time of Bulbul Shah three distinguished religions Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam had impact in Asia. Bulbul Shah propagated synthesis of all three religions and introduced message of peace as enshrined in Islam in such a manner that all luminaries of Hinduism and Buddhism were influenced by him, particularly Prince of Kashgar and Ladakh Rinchen Shah who is known as Renzu Shah as per history written by Khawja Dedmari, G.M.D. Sufi’s “Kashier” page 119 and other chronicles.

Renzu Shah was born Warrior, brave bold and protector of people. He had heared about miseries of Kashmir which was plundered and ravaged by Mangols and Tatar’s under tyrant commander Dulcha. Dulcha had ordered burning of Srinagar, raping of women and killing of entire men folk. King of Kashmir Samha Deva escaped out of fear. It was Renzu Shah Ranchana who saved people from tyranny and was titled as lion among men (Sher-i-Kashmir). The title symbolizing Kashmiriyat was given to other great leaders of Kashmir as a symbol of being protector of people. Impressed by bravery and people friendly approach of Renzu Shah, Hazrat Bulbul Shah blessed the king. He adopted Islam under the influence of Bulbul Shah alongwith his Ministers and majority of the subjects. His wife Kuta Rani inspite of her Hindu faith was daily attending their Peer-i-Murshed Hazrat Bulbul Shah, who spread message of love and peace. The Valley after span of terror let loose by Tartars, witnessed era of tranquility, love and peace during period of Bulbul Shah and Renzu Shah who assumed the name of Sultan Sadar-ud-Din. His son Khawja Hyder instead of Kingship preferred Sufi way of life.

As per research conducted by scholars and historians Bulbul Shah was accompanied with other pious saints particularly Bulbul Kamal-ud-Din, whose grave is between Chakoti and Uri road, Bulbul Jalal-ud-Din whose grave is between Harwan Buddhist Monastery and Nishat Garden and Hazrat Kamal Sahib who was buried just out side the palace of King Renzu Shah. The Palace of King is presently constructed as college and new Women’s College building has been converted at the ancestral site, while as graves of both Bulbul Shah and Renzu Shah (Rinchana) are located at Bulbul Lankar Nawa Kadal, on the other side of the Palace. The Bulbul Shah’s shrine is first Muslim Sufi shrine of Kashmir which has its intellectual influence upto Kashgar.

Hazrat Syed Abdurahman Shah Known As Bulbul Shah

Peer Syed Mohyuddin Mahboob

Bulbul-e-Kashmir Hazrat Syed Abdurahman Shah Kown as Hazrat Bulbul Shah


In the valley of Kashmir persons, who established through their actions and precepts, captivated the hearts of the people, called them to the true Religion and filled the hearts with the light of monotheism, faith, and devotion, Bulbul Shah stands taller among them. People called him with the epithet of the nightingale of Kashmir.

Parentage

His name was Syed Sheriff Uddin Abdul Rehman and title Syed Bilal that owing to frequent use changed into Bulbul. Hence he came to be known as Bulbul Shah or the Bulbul-e-Kashmir.

Order
Bulbul Shah sought allegiance to the renowned saint, Shah Nemat-Ullah Farisi Shirazi, of the Suharawardy Order who, in turn, looked to Zia Uddin-Ul-Najeeb Abdul Qahiri.

Arrival in the Kashmir Valley

Bulbul Shah's native town is a matter of controversy among the writers. Dr. SN Naz thinks, he was from the region of Tamkastan of the ancient Iran, some relates him to Baghdad; still others trace him from Turkistan. He reached Kashmir with his friend Mullah Ahmad. Some hold, he came to Kashmir with one thousand refugees out of the fear of the Mangols. Others believe, he entered the valley in 1324 AD. During the reign of Ranchan Shah. We think his arrival during the reign of Ranchan Shah, a Bodh ruler, is more probable. Rancher Shah was a seeker of Truth. Hinduism could not satisfy him and found the answer with Bulbul Shah. His meeting with Bulbul left a deep mark on him and he learnt the teaching of Islam from his precepts and actions. He embraced Islam under the assumed name Sadar Uddin, and along with him thousands became Muslims.

Ranchan Shah shared a greater responsibility in the propagation of Islam. He ordered for the construction of a monastery for Bulbul Shah, came to be known as the Khanqah-e-Bulbul Shah which formerly stood in the Mohalla Bulbullinko. In addition to it, he raised a mosque and several other buildings which don't exist now and of which we read in books only.

The nobles who turned to Islam included the commander of the Kashmir forces, Ravan Chandra. He adopted Bibi Lalla, the saint, as his daughter and foretold that she would be a great saint. This proved true.

Education

Hazrat Syed Bulbul Shah was a great scholar, a man of letters, and a theologian. Besides, he had reached the lovely end in intrinsic and spiritual learning. He illuminated the darkness of the hearts with the torch of the faith.

Travels

He resigned the worldly matters for meditation, prayers, and travels, which, at last, landed him into Kashmir.

Revelation and Miracles

Once it grew very cold in Kashmir. The water in the river Jhelum froze hard. People suffered for want of water. Bulbul Shah himself went in search of water but the Jhelum water was so hard that it refused to break. He saw towards the sky and said, "Where is the sun to melt the snow from its heat?" It is said, the sun rose and frozen snow melted.

Bulbul Shah was a wonderful and impressive man. Whatever he said did it built a place of peace and quiet in the form of a monastery from where ran the stream of benedictions and Faith that lit the entire valley.

Death

He died on 7, Rajab 722 Hijri (1326 AD) The following couplet, when computed, gives 722 Hijri as his date of death.

FASTING/RAMADAN




Ramadan is the ninth month according to Islamic Lunar calendar. Ramadan is derived from the Arabic root word 'ramida' or 'arramad' that means intense scorching heat and dryness, especially of the ground. Ramadan is so called to indicate the heating sensation in the stomach as a result of thirst. Others said it is so called because Ramadan scorches out the sins as it burns the ground. Some said it is so called because the hearts and souls are more readily receptive to the admonition and remembrance of Allah during Ramadan, as the sand and stones are receptive to the sun's heat. Ramadan begins after the month of Shaban, after the new moon has been sighted. In case new moon is not sighted then after 30 days of Shaban, Ramadan begins. The month of Ramadan lasts for 29 or 30 days depending on the sighting of the moon. If the moon is sighted on the night of 29th fast then the month of Shawwal begins from tomorrow and Ramadan is over.



The 1st of Shawwal is the Eid also know as Eid-ul-fitr to distinguish it from Eid-ul-azha (Bakri Eid). Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed. The Quran clearly says "O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that you many learn piety and rightousness" - Al Baqarah, 2:183.



Fasting is to be done by all able bodied men and women and children who have reached puberty.

If a person is sick or has some medical reason then he is waived from fasting till recovery.

During Ramadan the people who fast are not allowed to eat or drink and sexual physical contact from dawn to after sunset. Also one has to restrain other body parts, which may render the fast worthless despite the main factor of hunger and thirst; so the tongue, for instance, must avoid backbiting, slander, and lies; the eyes should avoid looking into things considered by the Lawgiver as unlawful; the ears must stop from listening to conversation, words, songs, and lyrics that spoil the spirit of fasting; and finally restraining of the heart, and mind from indulging, themselves in other things besides zikr or Allah (remembrance of Allah). Also when one is fasting and feels hunger and thirst he has to remember other people in the world who do not have food and water.



Charity is one of the extremely recommended acts during fasting. Muslims are required to give minimum of 2.5% of their annual savings as charity to poor and needy people. Also there are various sayings of the prophet (pbuh) where he has said that any charity made in Ramadan is multiplied upto 70 times.



If some people are poor and cannot afford to give money then even a smile is an act of charity.



In recent years lot of research has been done about the medical benifits of Ramadan. The physiological effect of fasting includes lower of blood sugar, lowering of cholesterol and lowering of the systolic blood pressure. In fact, Ramadan fasting would be an ideal recommendation for treatment of mild to moderate, stable, non-insulin diabetes, obesity and essential hypertension. There are psychological effects of fasting as well. There is a peace and tranquility for those who fast during the month of Ramadan. Personal hostility is at a minimum, and the crime rate decreases.



Muslims take advice from the Prophet who said, "If one slanders you or aggresses against you, say I am fasting.'" This psychological improvement could be related to better stabilization of blood glucose during fasting as hypoglycemia after eating, aggravates behavior changes.



There is a beneficial effect of extra prayer at night. This not only helps with better utilization of food but also helps in output. There are 10 extra calories output for each rikat of the prayer. Again, we do not do prayers for exercise, but a mild movement of the joints with extra calorie utilization is a better form of exercise. Similarly, recitation of the Quran not only produces a tranquility of heart and mind, but improves the memory.

Similarly, recitation of the Quran not only produces a tranquility of heart and mind, but improves the memory.



Some people think that one month of fasting is too much while others feel that its only one month where they can get their sins forgiven and get their rewards increased. May Allah bless us all and forgive all our sins and make us good Muslims and good human beings.

‏فوائد لرؤية النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقظة ومناماً, By Peer Syed Mohyuddin Mahboob‏

فوائد لرؤية النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقظة ومناماً

قدم هذا الموضوع من الأخ الفاضل العبد الفقير جزاه الله خيراً :

وهي من كتاب من مفاتيح الفرج لترويح القلوب وتفريج الكروب ، ومن تجارب العلماء العارفين بالله ...

1- من أصدق الفوائد لرؤيته صلى الله تعالى عليه وسلم مناماً وربما تصل إلى اليقظة شدة محبته عليه الصلاة والسلام وشغل الفكر فيه وفي شؤونه مع اتباع السنة النبوية الشريفة وكثرة الصلاة عليه بطريق الدوام عليه أفضل الصلاة وأكمل السلام والاستقامة الكاملة والتشوق لرؤيته - صلى الله عليه وسلم - و الدعاء له - صلى الله عليه وسلم - وحمل هم الحبيب - صلى الله عليه و سلم - و هي الدعوة الى الله في السر و العلن و المواظبة على هذه الاشياء و عدم اليأس و القنوط من رحمة الله الكريم الوهاب فإنه يمهل و لا يهمل و لا يخيب دعاء من رجاه و لربما خبأ الكنوز وراء التاخر في العطاء ..

2- قال السيد مصطفى البكري : " ومن فوائد هذا الاسم الكريم - يعني اسم محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم - أن من قرأه كل ليلة اثنتين وعشرين مرة كثرت رؤيته للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " ..

3- وعن بعض الصالحين : " من أراد أن يرى النبي صلى الله تعالى عليه وسلم في المنام فليصل ركعتين يقرأ فيهما فاتحة الكتاب والإخلاص مائة مرة فإذا فرغ قال ثلاثاً يا محسن يا مجمل يا منعم يا متفضل أرني وجه محمد صلى الله تعالى عليه وسلم فإنه يراه إن شاء الله تعالى " ..

4- وقال غيره : " من أراد رؤيته صلى الله تعالى عليه وسلم في المنام فليصل ركعتين يقرأ فيهما ما شاء وليقل مائة مرة يا نور النور يا مدبر الأمور بلغ عني روح محمد صلى الله تعالى عليه وسلم تحية وسلاماً".

5- عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنّه قال: من صلّى على روح محمد في الأرواح وعلى جسده في الأجساد وعلى قبره في القبور رآني في منامه ومن رآني في منامه رآني في القيامة ومن رآني في القيامة شفعت له ومن شفعت له شرب من حوضي وحرّم الله جسده على النار .. "

6- قال بعض الصالحين : " من اراد أن يري النبي صلي الله عليه وسلم , فليكثر من ذكره ليلاً ونهاراً , مع محبته في السادة الاولياء , والا فباب الرؤيا عنه مسدود لانهم سادات الناس , وربنا يغضب لغضبهم وكذلك رسول الله صلي الله عليه وسلم " . .

7- قال أحد الصالحين رضي الله عنه :رأيت رسول الله صلي الله عليه وسلم في المنام , فقال لي : قل عند نومك : بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم خمسا , وأعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم خمساً: ثم قل : اللهم بحق محمد أرني وجه محمد حالا ومآلا ًفاذا قلتها عند النوم , فإني آتي إليك ولا أتخلف عنك اصلا. ً ثم قال : وما احسنها من رقية ومن معني لمن آمن به.

8- "روى عن الشيخ شمس الدين العبدوسي أنّه قال من صلى هذه الصلاة بعد دخوله موضعه بعد صلاة العشاء وقرأ قل هو الله أحد والمعوذتين ثلاثاً ولم يتكلم بعد ذلك فإنه يرى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهي:

(( اللهم اجعل أفضل صلواتك أبدا، وأنمى بركاتك سرمدا، وأزكى تحياتك فضلا وعدداً ، على أشرف الخلائق الإنسانية والجانية، ومجمع الحقائق الإيمانية، ومظهر التجليات الإحسانية، ومهبط الأسرار الرحمانية، واسطة عقد النبيين، ومقدم جيش المرسلين، وقائد ركب الأنبياء المكرمين، وأفضل الخلق أجمعين، حامل لواء العز الأعلى، ومالك أزمة المجد الأسنى ، شاهد أسرار الأزل ، ومشاهد أنوار السوابق الأول، وترجمان لسان القدم، ومنبع العلم والحلم والحكم، مظهر سر الوجود الجزئي والكلّي، وإنسان عين الوجود العلوي والسفلي، روح جسد الكونين، وعين حياة الدارين، المتحقق بأعلى رتب العبودية، والمتخلق بأخلاق المقامات الإصطفائية، الخليل الأعظم، والحبيب الأكرم، سيدّنا محمد بن عبد الله بن عبد المطلب وعلى آله وصحبه عدد معلوماتك، ومداد كلماتك، كلما ذكرك الذاكرون، وغفل عن ذكرك الغافلون، وسلم تسليما كثيرا ورضي الله عن أصحاب رسول الله أجمعين )) أهـ. للشيخ حسن شداد و إسمه ( كيفية الوصول لرؤية الرسول (

9- ومن أراد أن يراه صلى الله عليه وسلم في المنام فليقل: " اللهم صلّ على محمد كما أمرتنا أن نصلي عليه، اللهم صلّ على محمد كما هو أهله، اللهم صلّ على محمد كما تحب وترضى له ، فمن صلّى عليه بهذه الصلاة عددا وترا رآه صلى الله عليه وسلم في منامه، ويزيد معها: اللهم صلّ على روح محمد في الأرواح، اللهم صلّ على جسد محمد في الأجساد، اللهم صلّ على قبر محمد في القبور."

( من كتاب سعادة الدارين في الصلاة على سيّد الكونين صلى الله عليه وسلم - تأليف القاضي الشيخ يوسف بن إسماعيل النبهاني ص444) ..

10 - قال القسطلاني: ورأيت في بعض المجاميع أنّ من أدمن قراءة المزمّل والكوثر رآه صلى الله عليه وسلم "

11- اللهم صلي صلاة كاملة وسلم سلاما تاما على سيدنا محمد الذي تنحل بة العقد وتنفرج بة الكرب وتقضى به الحوائج وتنال به الرغائب وحسن الخواتم ويستسقى الغمام بوجهة الكريم وعلى آله وصحبة في كل لمحة ونفس بعدد كل معلوم لك..

24- نقل شيخنا في شرحه المذكور أيضاً عن الإمام اليافعي في كتابه بستان الفقراء به ورد عن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم أنه قال: (( من صلى عليّ يوم الجمعة ألف مرة بهذه الصلاة وهي: اللهم صلّ على سيدّنا محمد النبي الأمي فإنه يرى ربّه في ليلته ربه أو نبيّه أو منزلته في الجنة فإن لم ير فليفعل ذلك في جمعتين أو ثلاث أو خمس وفي رواية زيادة وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم. اهـ.)) ثم رأيت في كنوز الأسرار للشيخ عبد الله الخياط بن محمد الهلاوشي المغربي الفاسي نزيل تونس بعد أن ذكر نحو ما تقدّم حكاية رؤيا رآها ملخصها أنه صلى عليه صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم بهذه الصيغة على هذه النية فلم ير شيئاً فرجع إلى نفسه فصار يصلي محبة في رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم فرأى رؤية مبشرة أنه عرف نفسه في الجنة ثم زار ضريح النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قال وأنا اليوم لا أقوم بعدد من التزمها من الإخوان وصارت ديدنه فلله الحمد رب العالمين قال وقد فعلها رجل من إخواننا فرأى النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم في المنام ودعا له فقال له صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم جعلك الله من المهتدين ثم ظهر أثر الإهتداء عليه في أقرب مدة وفعل أيضاً آخر فرأى النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ودعا له بخير" اهـ.

25- ذكر القطب الربّاني سيدي الشيخ عبد القادر الجيلاني في كتاب الغنية عن الأعرج عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: (( من صلّى ليلة الجمعة ركعتين يقرأ في كل ركعة فاتحة الكتاب وآية الكرسي مرة وخمس عشرة مرة قل هو الله أحد ويقول في آخر صلاته ألف مرة اللهم صلّ على محمد النبي الأمي فإنه يراني في المنام ولا تتم له الجمعة الأخرى إلا وقد رآني ومن رآني فله الجنة وغفر له ما تقدّم من ذنبه وما تأخر )) اهـ..

26- أخرج أبو موسى المديني عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: (( ما من مؤمن يصلي ليلة الجمعة ركعتين يقرأ في كل ركعة بعد الفاتحة خمساً وعشرين مرة قل هو الله أحد ثم يقول ألف مرة صلى الله على محمد النبي الأمي فإنه لا تتم الجمعة القابلة حتى يراني في المنام ومن رآني غفر الله له الذنوب )) اهـ.

27- قال الشيخ محمد حقي أفندي النازلي في كتابه خزينة الأسرار: أجازني شيخي وسندي الشيخ مصطفى الهندي بذكر سنداته في المدينة المنورة في المدرسة المحمودية سنة 1261 وسالت من بعض الخصائص والأذكار لانكشاف العلم وللتقرب إلى الله تعالى وللوصلة إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم فعلمني آية الكرسي وهذه الصلاة: "اللهم صل على سيدّنا محمد وعلى آل سيدّنا محمد في كل لمحة ونفس بعدد كل معلوم لك" وقال إن داومت عليها تأخذ العلوم والأسرار عن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم حتى تكون في تربيته المحمدية بالروحاني وقال هذا مجرب جربه فلان وفلان وعدّ كثيراً من الإخوان فقرأت هذه الصلاة في أول ليلة بدأت منها مائة مرة فرأيت النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم في المنام فقال الشفاعة لك ولأبويك ولإخوانك ثم وجدت بحول الله وقوته كما ذكر الشيخ قدّس سرّه ثم أخبرت بهذه الصلاة كثيراً من الإخوان فرأيت من داوموا عليها نالوا أسراراً عجيبة ما نلت مثلها وفيها أسرار كثيرة وتكفيك هذه الإشارة" اهـ.

29- ذكر السيد أحمد دحلان في مجموعته المذكورة أنّ من الصيغ الفاضلة التي ذكر كثيراً من العارفين أن من داوم عليها ليلة الجمعة ولو مرة واحدة ينكشف لروحه مثال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عند الموت وعند دخول القبر حتى يرى أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم هو الذي يلحده. قال: قال بعض العارفين وينبغي لمن داوم عليها أن يقرأها كل ليلة عشر مرات وليلة الجمعة مائة مرة حتى يفوز بهذا الفضل العظيم والخير الجسيم إن شاء الله تعالى. وهي هذه: (اللهم صلّ على سيدنا محمد النبي الأمي الحبيب العالي القدر العظيم الجاه وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم) انتهى. ونقل نحو ذلك الشيخ الصاوي والشيخ الأمير عن الإمام السيوطي. " اهـ.

30- قال الشيخ الصاوي في شرح ورد الدردير: قال بعضهم إنّ قراءة الصلاة الإبراهيمية ألف مرة توجب رؤية النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وعبارة شيخنا العدوي في شرح دلائل الخيرات عن بعض العارفين أنّ استعمال صيغة التشهد التي رواها البخاري ألفاً ليلة الإثنين أو ليلة الجمعة موجب لرؤيته صلى الله عليه وسلم" اهـ.

قضاء حوائج الناس Para ayudar a la gente

قضاء حوائج الناس

- مِنَ الناس مَنْ يتأفف من لجوء الناس إليه لقضاء حوائجهم
خاصة إذا كان ذا وجاهة أو سعة من المال .
- ولا يدري أن من كان في حاجة أخيه كان الله في حاجته ،
وأن الله في عون العبد ما دام العبد في عون أخيه .
- فلئن تقضي لأخيك حاجة كأن تعلمه أو ترشده أو تحمله أو تقرضه
أو تشفع له في خير أفضل عند الله من ثواب اعتكافك شهرا كاملا.

- فعن عبدالله بن عمر رضي الله عنهما أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال :
( أحب الناس إلى الله أنفعهم ، وأحب الأعمال إلى الله عز وجل سرور
تدخله على مسلم ، أو تكشف عنه كربة ، أو تقضي عنه دينا ، أو تطرد عنه جوعا ،
ولأن أمشي مع أخي المسلم في حاجة أحب إليّ من أن اعتكف في المسجد شهرا
ومن كف غضبه ستر الله عورته ، ومن كظم غيظا ، ولو شاء أن يمضيه أمضاه
ملأ الله قلبه رضا يوم القيامة ، ومن مشى مع أخيه المسلم في حاجته حتى يثبتها له أثبت الله تعالى قدمه يوم تزل الأقدام ، وإن سوء الخلق ليفسد العمل كما يفسد الخل العسل )
رواه الطبراني في الكبير ، وابن أبي الدنيا وحسنه الألباني في السلسلة الصحيحة .

- إن مجرد أن تقضي لأخيك حاجة قد لايستغرق أداؤها أحيانا نصف ساعة
فإنه يسجل لك بها ثواب اعتكاف شهر واحد ، فتخيل لو أردت اعتكاف شهر كامل
كم ستحتاج من مجاهدة للنفس بتعطيل أعمالك الخاصة ،
وبقائك حبيس المسجد ثلاثين يوما إما ذاكرا لله أو ساجدا أو قارئا للقرآن ؟
- ولكن خلال دقائق معدودة تنجز فيها لأخيك حاجته
أو تسعى فيها لأرملة يسجل في صحيفتك كأنك اعتكفت سنوات عديدة .
- فكم سنة لم تحييها في الواقع سيسجل لك ثوابها إذا سخرت جزءا من وقتك لخدمة إخوانك المسملين ؟
- إن الموظف الذي يقابل الجمهور وهو على مكتبه ليخدمهم
وينجز لهم معاملاتهم لو استحضر هذا الحديث واحتسب عمله ،
فكم من السنوات سيسجل له ثواب اعتكافها يا ترى ؟
إن بعض هؤلاء الموظفين تجدهم يشغلون أنفسهم عن المراجعين
بأحاديث جانبية مع زملائهم في الوظيفة أو يتغيبون عن مكاتبهم وبعضهم
يتعمد تعطيل المراجعين وتأخير معاملاتهم ولو علم بهذه الأحاديث النبوية
وأمثالها لما بدرت منه هذه التصرفات.

- فاحرص يا أخي على قضاء حوائج المسلمين ولا سيما من تصيبهم حوائج الحروب
والكوارث ولا تدعهم عرضة لفتن المنظمات المعادية للإسلام كالصليبية
التي تتسابق فيما بينها على تقديم المساعدات الإنسانية لأولئك المنكوبين ،
وذلك لتكسب ودهم وتستدرجهم إلى دينها ، تحت وطأة الجوع والمرض والحاجة ،
وعليك أن تتعلم حسن مساعدة الناس وقضاء حوائجهم وليس فن التفلت من ذلك.
- واعلم أنه كلما كانت العبادة يتعدى نفعها إلى غيرك كان أجرها أعظم إذا احتسبتها عند الله .

* أمثلة من السلف في حرصهم على قضاء حوائج الناس :
1- كان أبو بكر الصديق رضي الله عنه يحلب للحي أغنامهم ، فلما استُخلف قالت جارية منهم :
الآن لا يحلبها ، فقال أبو بكر : بلى وإني لأرجو أن لا يغيرني ما دخلت فيه عن شيء كنت أفعله .

2- وكان عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه يتعاهد بعض الأرامل فيسقي لهن الماء بالليل .
ورآه طلحة بالليل يدخل بيت امرأة . فدخل إليها طلحة نهارا فإذا عجوزا عمياء مقعدة ،
فسألها : ما يصنع هذا الرجل عندك؟ قالت : هذا له منذ كذا وكذا يتعاهدني ،
يأتيني بما يصلحني ويخرج عني الأذى . فقال طلحة : ثكلتك أمك يا طلحة ، عثرات عمر تتيع؟!.

3- وكان أبو وائل يطوف على نساء الحي وعجائزهم كل يوم فيشتري لهن حوائجهن وما يصلحهن .

4- وقال مجاهد : صحبت ابن عمر في السفر لأخدمه فكان يخدمني أكثر .

5- وكان حكيم بن حزام يحزن على اليوم الذي لا يجد فيه محتاجا ليقضي له حاجته .
فيقول : ما أصبحت وليس ببابي صاحب حاجة ،
إلا علمت أنها من المصائب التي أسأل الله الأجر عليها وإذا علمت أخي المسلم
أن هذا الثواب العظيم كله لمن يخدم أخاه المسلم وهو له سنة فاضلة .
فكيف بمن يكون في خدمة والديه وفي قضاء حوائجهما وهو أمر واجب عليه.

فالله الله بالوالدين والحذر كل الحذر من العقوق أعذنا الله وإياكم من ذلك .


Para ayudar a la gente

- La gente de la Quejándose de la gente recurre a él para sus necesidades
Sobre todo si un mérito o la capacidad del dinero.
- No sé que estaba en la necesidad de su hermano estaba en la necesidad de Dios,
Y que Dios le ayudará a su esclavo siempre y cuando el esclavo ayuda a su hermano.
- Por si es necesario para tu hermano necesita aprender o si el oso había entrado o prestar o
O acompañada de su mejor cuando la mejor recompensa de Dios Atkavk un mes completo.

- Se narró que Abdallah Ibn Umar que el Mensajero de Allah esté complacido con la paz de Dios sea con él, dijo:
(Me gusta la gente a Dios más beneficioso, y me gusta trabajar, Dios tuvo
Es realizar un musulmán, o revelar lo de rigor, o el pago de su deuda, o expulsar a morir de hambre,
Porque ando con mi hermano musulmán que necesitan es más querido para mí que el i'tikaaf en la mezquita de un mes
Limita su ira, Allah cubrirá sus genitales, y las clases de manejo de la ira, aunque pasó pasó
Dios llenó su satisfacción por el corazón del día de la Resurrección, y caminó junto a su hermano musulmán en su necesidad para hacerle estar firme sobre sus pies de Dios todavía, pero de mala educación echar a perder el trabajo como botín vinagre de miel)
Tabaraani en al-Kabir, Ibn Abi Dunya y un hombre en la cadena es correcta.

- Eso es sólo para eliminar la necesidad de que su hermano había realizado Estgrq a veces media hora
En él se reproducen a usted por el i'tikaaf recompensa de un mes, si desea i'tikaaf Imagine un mes completo
¿Cuánto tendrá que luchar con la misma desactivar su propio negocio,
Y te quedas bloqueado en la mezquita, diciendo treinta días ya sea a Dios o postrarse o lector del Corán?
- Pero dentro de unos minutos en los que para completar tu hermano necesita
O solicitada por la viuda de registros en su periódico si cumple con el i'tikaaf durante muchos años.
- ¿Cuántos años no revivir, de hecho, va a grabar la recompensa si se aprovechan como parte de su tiempo a los musulmanes al servicio de tus hermanos?
- El miembro del personal, que corresponde a la opinión pública está en su escritorio a su servicio
Y realizar sus transacciones si éstas se acogían a esta charla y la labor del árbitro,
¿Cuántos años pasarán a la recompensa que le supone una maravilla?
Algunos de estos empleados a encontrar ellos se ocupan de los revisores
Versos con codo con sus colegas en el trabajo o ausentarse de sus oficinas y algunos de ellos
Deliberadamente desactivar los revisores y el retraso de sus transacciones, aunque consciente de este hadiz
Y similares a las expresadas por las acciones.

- Para asegurarse de que mi hermano para ayudar a los musulmanes en particular, ayudar a los afectados por la guerra
Y las catástrofes no se deja vulnerables a las tentaciones de las organizaciones anti-Islam Kalsalibip
Que compiten entre sí para prestar asistencia humanitaria a quienes la necesitan,
Con el fin de ganar la redada y Tstdrjhm a su religión, bajo la presión del hambre y la enfermedad y la necesidad,
Tienes que aprender bien ayudar a las personas y satisfacer sus necesidades, no el arte de la evasión de la misma.
- Y yo sé que siempre que supere la utilidad de culto para los demás era la mayor recompensa si Dal Dios.

* Algunos ejemplos de los avances en su afán de ayudar a la gente:
1 - Abu Bakr, que Allah esté complacido con él ordeño de ovejas en el barrio, y cuando dijo normandos en curso, incluidos:
Ahora no Ehlebaha, Abu Bakr dijo: "Sí, y espero que no me cambia lo que vinieron a buscar algo cuando yo estaba haciendo.

2 - El Omar Bin Al Khattab que Allah esté complacido con él venir con frecuencia a algunas viudas Visagi regarlas por la noche.
Talha noche y vio a una mujer entrar en la casa. Talha fue al día, si la silla de ruedas viejo y ciego,
Le preguntó: qué hace este hombre para ti? Dijo: "Este ha sido tal y tal Itaahidni,
Khalil, lo que viene a mí y a hacerme daño. Talha dijo: "Que tu madre te Talha, Omar trampas Taatie?!.

3 - El Wael Abu vaga por las mujeres del barrio y Ajaizhm todos los días compró ellos y Aisalhan Hawwaijhn.

4 - Mujahid dijo: Ibn Umar asociados con el viaje era servir a su servicio más a mí.

5 - El Hakim Ben anillo se entristeció el día no se encuentran en necesidad de servir a sus necesidades.
Él dice: ¿Qué se ha convertido en el propietario de ambas partes no es necesario,
Pero he aprendido de las calamidades que le pido a Dios por ello recompensa y si he aprendido hermano musulmán
Que este gran recompensa a todos aquellos que sirven a su hermano musulmán es una utopía años de edad.
Cómo quién debe estar al servicio de sus padres y satisfacer sus necesidades o que es obligatorio para él.

Dios es Dios y los padres deben tener cuidado con la desobediencia a Dios y Oazna usted de eso.

what is bayaat, By Peer Syed Mohyuddin Mahboob

Bayt is to pledge spiritual allegiance & totally surrender yourself to a Spiritual Master to guide you to Allah . The Spiritual Master i.e. one who guides you on the path of Shari'ah and Tariqah is known as a Pir, Murshid and Sheikh & one who follows such a pious person is known as their Mureed (disciple).

Swearing the oath of allegiance (Bayt) upon the hands of a Pir who is complete in all aspects of Shari’ah & Tariqah, and devout in all aspects of his life is of utmost importance. It is one of the actions that have been passed down from the time of the Beloved Prophet SAW till today.

About pledging Bayt to a Pir, Hazrat Ibn Abbas reports that Sayyidina Rasulallah says:

“Whoever dies and did not make an oath of allegiance (to a Muslim leader) has died a death of jahiliyah (ignorance).”
[Bukhari, Muslim]


Requirements of a True & Righteous Pir

1. He must be a Sunni with the correct beliefs & Aqeeda. Without this, he will endanger your Imaan & corrupt your beliefs.

2. He must be knowledgeable so that he is able to differentiate between forbidden & acceptable, halal & haram.

3. He must not be a Fasiq (wrongdoer, one who does not follow the Shariah) as it is necessary to disrespect a Fasiq and it is important to respect a Pir/Sheikh.

4. His spiritual lineage (Shajra) must be connected to the Holy Prophet SAW otherwise he will not gain virtue (Faiz) from the top.

Loyalty to Your Pir & Spiritual Master

Loyalty to your Pir is of utmost importance, as there is none who is as aware of the Mureed’s state of mind & current situation as well as his/her Pir.

Once a Mureed of the great Sayyiduna Yahya Maneri was drowning. Sayyiduna Khizr (A.S) appeared and said to the Mureed, "Give me your hand & I will save you".
The Mureed replied, "This hand has already been given in the hands of Sayyiduna Yahya Maneri , and since it belongs to him I cannot give it to anyone else". Sayyiduna Khidr (A.S) then disappeared and instantly, Sayyiduna Yahya Maneri appeared and saved him.

Renewal of Bayt

Tajdeed or the renewal of Bayt used to take place in the time of the Holy Prophet SAW.
The Benefits of Pledging Bayt

There are two types of Bayt:


1. BAYT-E-BARAKAH:

This is to initiate one's self for the Barakah (blessings) of joining a Silsila and this is the general idea or reason of today's Bayts.

This should be done with good intention. If Bayt is taken for mere worldly gain or any reason other than spiritual elevation, then such Bayt is Baatil (null & void).

Ala Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan states:

“The above Bayt is not useless, but beneficial, in fact, very beneficial and profitable in Deen and Duniya. At least, his name would be recorded in the books of the Beloved of Allah. By just having a link with a spiritual order (Silsila) is itself a great fortune and blessing.”

2. BAYT-E-IRAADAH (OR BAYT-E-SALIKEEN):

This means to totally abolish one’s desires and intentions and surrender one's self at the hands of a true Guide or Spiritual Master. You must sincerely obey and execute all his orders and methods entrusted on you by him.

Never take a step without his consent even though some laws and orders may not suit you or make sense to you. The Murshid's commands may cause great discomfort to you and at such moments the Mureed must regard this as the interference of the Cursed Shaitaan. Your every hardship and difficulty must be presented to him. In conclusion, the Mureed must totally hand himself over to the Sheikh like a corpse in the hands of a person performing its last Ghusl (bath).

This is also known as Bayt-e-Salikeen. Such Bayt leads one to Allah . It was Bayt-e-Salikeen that was taken by the Ashaabs (Companions) at the hands of the Holy Prophet .

Sayyiduna Ubadah bin Samat (radi Allahu anhu) states:

“We had taken Bayt (at the hands of Rasulallah on the following principles: We will await his command and execute it in times of every ease and difficulty, every form of ecstasy or displeasure. And when the Master commands us, we will never disobey or question him.”
The command of the Murshid is the command of Rasulallah SAW and his command is the Command of Allah, the All Powerful, Who nobody dares disobey.
The Master’s Rights over the Mureed
Huzur Hazrat Peer Syed Mahmood Shah Muhaddis Hazarvi wrotr in Jameul Khairaat : ''A Murshid has many rights over his Mureed.”
Huzur wrote in his famous book, Jameul Khairaat, these rights are listed as follows.

The Mureed should:
1. Live like a dead person in the hands of his Murshid.

2. Believe that the pleasure & happiness of your Murshid is the pleasure & happiness of Allah .

3. Believe that the rights of your Murshid are above all the Awliya Allah of that time.

4. If you receive blessing from someone else, believe it was for the sake of your Murshid.

5. Be willing to sacrifice your belongings, children and life for the sake of your Murshid.

6. If you see something in your Murshid which you think is against Shariah or is a major sin, do not say anything in opposition & think to yourself that you have misunderstood.

7. Even if you see someone flying in the air, do not give your hand in allegiance to them. Do not leave one spiritual master for another.

8. Do not speak whilst in the presence of your Murshid, unless he has prompted you to.

9. The Mureed should concentrate fully on his Murshid (with his eyes, ears and heart.)

10. Answer any question your Murshid asks in a gentle way and be silent quickly.

11. Respect the clothes, seating place, children, house, local area and city of your Murshid.

12. Do not say 'why?' when told to do anything by your Murshid but rather give it priority.

13. Do not sit in the place of your Murshid in his absence.

14. Do not marry the wife of your Murshid after his death.

15. If your Murshid is alive, pray for his safety and well-being in abundance on a daily basis and if he has passed away, send the reward of Fatiha and Durood Sharif on a daily basis.

16. Be a friend of his friend and an enemy of his enemy.

After Allah and His Messenger , believe that the link between you and your Murshid is higher than any other link.
When this happens, you will get the help of Allah & His Messenger and the Pious in this world & the next.
However, it is important that the Murshid meets the four conditions of Bayt as mentioned above. When this happens, the Mureed’s good beliefs about his Murshid will prove to be fruitful & guide him to the realm of Truth & Divine Reality.

Signs of The Qiyamah, By Peer Syed Mohyuddin Mahboob

DAJJAL

Hadhrat Imraan bin Husain (R.A.) relates that, "I heard Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) saying: "That since the birth of Adam (A.S.) till the advent of Qiyamah there is no fitnah (evil, test) much greater than that of Dajjal."

Hadhrat Huzaifah (R.A.) says, Dajjal will be blind in his left eye. He will have very thick hair on his body and he will also have Jannat and Jahannam with him. Though his Jannat will appear as Jannat, in reality it will be Jahannam and likewise though his Jahannam will appear to be Jahannam, in reality it will be Jannat.

(Muslim)

Imraan bin Husain (R.A.) says Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "Those who hear about Dajjal should stay far from him. By Allah! A person will approach him thinking him to be a Believer, but on seeing his amazing feats he will become his follower".

(Abu Dawood)

Ubadah bin Saamit (R.A.) says, Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) once said, "I have explained Dajjal to you, but I fear that you might not have understood. Maseeh Dajjal will be short, and his legs will be crooked. The hair on his head will be extremely twisted. He will have one eye (with which he can see, and this is the protruding eye about which other ahadeeth inform us), while his other eye will be totally flat. It will neither be deep (in its socket) nor protruding.

If you still have any doubt regarding him then remember that your Sustainer (Rabb) is not one-eyed. (Because Dajjal will eventually claim to be Allah). In a lengthy Hadeeth narrated by Abu Saeed (R.A.), Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) is reported to have said: "Dajjal will come but it will be prohibited and impossible for him to enter Madina. He will set up camp in a barren land outside Madina. One person who will be the best of persons will confront him by saying: "I bear witness that you are the very Dajjal about whom Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) has informed us".

Dajjal will say to his followers, "If I kill this person and then revive him will you people still doubt me?"

They will reply, "No".

He will then kill this person, (according to another narration he will split this person in two) and thereafter revive him. This person will say, "I am now totally convinced more than ever before that you definitely are Dajjal."

Dajjal will attempt to kill this person again but his efforts will now be in vain. (According to a Hadeeth after this incident, Dajjal will not be able to harm anyone).

Hadhrat Anas (R.A.) says that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "Dajjal will come and finally reach the outskirts of Madina. There will be three tremors. At that time all the disbelievers and hypocrites will flee (from Madina).

In this way Madina Munawwarah will be purified of all the evil hypocrites.


Hadhrat Asma bint Yazeed (R.A.) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) once came to my house and there he spoke about Dajjal. He said that before the emergence of Dajjal there will be three spells of drought. In one year the skies will withhold one third of its rains, causing the earth to withhold one third of its produce. In the second year the skies will withhold two thirds of its rain causing the earth to withhold two thirds of its produce. In the third year the skies will withhold all its water and there will be no crops that year. All animals, be they hooved or toothed will die as a result. The greatest evil of Dajjal will be to approach anyone and ask him: "If I bring your camel back to life, will you then believe that I am your Rabb"? This person will reply, "most certainly". Thereafter Shaytaan (from the many Shayateen who will always accompany Dajjal) will appear before this person in the form of his camel with a fat hump and fully laden udders.

Likewise Dajjal will appear before another person whose father and brother have long passed away and ask him, "If I bring your father and brother back to life will you believe that I am your Rabb?" The person will reply, "Why not"? Shaytaan will one again take on the appearance of his brother and father..."

(Ahmad)

Hadhrat Mughira ibn Shu’ba (R.A.) says that, "No one asked Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) about Dajjal as much as myself. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said to me, "How can he possibly harm you"? I said: "People are saying that he will have with him a mountain of bread (provisions) and a river of water". Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "In the sight of Allah he is much more disgraced than that. (i.e. Allah knows full well that in reality Dajjal has nothing with him, and all that which appears to be with him is but deception).

(Bukhari and Muslim)

Other Ahadeeth regarding Dajjal inform us that: He will emerge between Shaam and Iraq, and his emergence will become known when he is in Isfahaan at a place called Judea; (Yahudea) He will be of Jewish origin;

The Jews of Isfahaan will be his main followers; Apart from having mainly Jewish followers he will have a great number of women followers as well; He will have with him fire and water, but in reality the fire will be cold water, while that what appears to be cold water will in reality be a blazing fire; Those who obey him will enter his "Jannat’ while those who disobey him will enter his Jahannam; There will be a thick fingernail-like object in his left eye; The letters "Kaa" "Faa" "Raa" will appear on his forehead and will be deciphered by all Mu’mineen regardless of them being literate or not; He will have a wheatish complexion; He will travel at great speeds and his means of conveyance will be a gigantic mule. It is said that he will play beautiful Music which will attract the music lovers.

Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) has exhorted the regular recital of Suratul Kahf which will most certainly save one from the Evils of Dajjal.

Dajjal will lay claim to Prophethood.
He will then lay claim to Divinity.
He will perform unusual feats.

He will travel the entire world. He will send down rains upon those who believe in him, which in turn will cause good crops to grow, trees to bear fruit and cattle to grow fat.
He will cause drought to those who disbelieve in him, causing starvation and hardship for them.

During those trying times the Mu’mineen will satiate their hunger through the recitation of Subhan Allaah and La’ilalha llallahu. The hidden treasures of the earth will spill forth at his command. He will stay on this Earth for a period of forty days; the length of the first day will be one year, the second day will be equal to one month, the third day will be equal to a week and the remaining days will be normal.

He will be unable to enter Makkah because the Malaikah will be guarding the Holy City and nor will he be able to enter Madina because there will be Malaikah guarding each of the seven entrances to Madina; From Madina he will proceed towards Shaam where Imaam Mahdi will be stationed;

Finally Eesa (A.S.) will descend from the heavens and pursue him and eventually kill him at Baab Lud. (Present day Lydda)

بسم الله والصلاة والسلام على سيدنا محمد وعلى اله وصحبه اجمعين والحمد لله رب العالمين اما بعد:....

أبدأ قولي بحديث سَعِيدِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ، اَنَّهُ قَالَ اَشْهَدُ عَلَى التِّسْعَةِ اَنَّهُمْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَلَوْ شَهِدْتُ عَلَى الْعَاشِرِ لَمْ اثَمْ . قِيلَ وَكَيْفَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِحِرَاءَ فَقَالَ " اثْبُتْ حِرَاءُ فَاِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ اِلاَّ نَبِيٌّ اَوْ صِدِّيقٌ اَوْ شَهِيدٌ " قِيلَ وَمَنْ هُمْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَاَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ وَعَلِيٌّ وَطَلْحَةُ وَالزُّبَيْرُ وَسَعْدٌ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ .قِيلَ فَمَنِ الْعَاشِرُ قَالَ اَنَا . قَالَ اَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ , وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
وقد ذكر ابن الجوزي: ( أن السلف كانوا يُعلمون أولادهم حب أبي بكر وعمر كما يعلمونهم السور من القرآن ). وعلى هذا يتأكد بيان علم الصحابة ودينهم وفضائلهم. قال شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية: ( وأما الخلفاء الراشدون والصحابة فكل خير فيه المسلمون إلى يوم القيامة من الإيمان، والإسلام، والقرآن، والعلم، والمعارف، والعبادات، ودخول الجنة، والنجاة من النار، وانتصارهم على الكفار، وعلو كلمة الله، فإنما هو ببركة ما فعله الصحابة الذين بلّغوا الدين وجاهدوا في سبيل الله. وكل مؤمن آمن بالله، فلصحابة رضي الله عنهم الفضل إلى يوم القيامة،
وخيرالصحابة تبع لخير الخلفاء الراشدين، فهم كانوا أقوم بكل خير في الدنيا والدين من سائر الصحابة، كانوا والله أفضل هذه الأمة، وأبرها قلوباً، وأعمقها علماً، وأقلها تكلفاً، قوم اختارهم الله لصحبة نبية وإقامة دينه فاعرفوا لهم فضلهم، واتبعوهم في آثارهم، وتمسكوا بما استطعتم من أخلاقهم ودينهم فإنهم كانوا على الهدى المستقيم). وقد أثنى الله عليهم ورسوله ورضي عنهم وأعد لهم الحسنى في آيات كثيرة كقوله تعالى:
(وَالسَّابِقُونَ الأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالأَنصَارِ وَالَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُم بِإِحْسَانٍ رَّضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهُمْ ) [التوبة:100]
قال الرسول : { المرء مع من أحب } [رواه مسلم]. ويتأكد الفضل والخير في الخلفاء الأربعة لسابقتهم في الإسلام وبلائهم وجهادهم، عن مسروق أنة قال: ( حُبُّ أبي بكر وعمر ومعرفة فضلهما من السنة )، وقيل للحسن: حب أبي بكر وعمر من السنة؟ قال: ( لا، بل فريضة ).
صفاتهم رضوان الله عليهم:
في قوله تعالى: (مُّحَمَّدٌ رَّسُولُ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ أَشِدَّاء عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ رُحَمَاء بَيْنَهُمْ تَرَاهُمْ رُكَّعاً سُجَّداً يَبْتَغُونَ فَضْلاً مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضْوَاناً سِيمَاهُمْ فِي وُجُوهِهِم مِّنْ أَثَرِ السُّجُودِ ذَلِكَ مَثَلُهُمْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَمَثَلُهُمْ فِي الْإِنجِيلِ كَزَرْعٍ أَخْرَجَ شَطْأَهُ فَآزَرَهُ فَاسْتَغْلَظَ فَاسْتَوَى عَلَى سُوقِهِ يُعْجِبُ الزُّرَّاعَ لِيَغِيظَ بِهِمُ الْكُفَّارَ وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ مِنْهُم
مَّغْفِرَةً وَأَجْراً عَظِيماً [الفتح:29]. وعَنْ اَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ،قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " اَرْحَمُ اُمَّتِي بِاُمَّتِي اَبُو بَكْرٍ وَاَشَدُّهُمْ فِي اَمْرِ اللَّهِ عُمَرُ وَاَصْدَقُهُمْ حَيَاءً عُثْمَانُ وَاَقْرَؤُهُمْ لِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ اُبَىُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ وَاَفْرَضُهُمْ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَاَعْلَمُهُمْ بِالْحَلاَلِ وَالْحَرَامِ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ اَلاَ وَاِنَّ لِكُلِّ اُمَّةٍ أميناً وَاِنَّ اَمِينَ هَذِهِ الاُمَّةِ اَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ " .
حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
وقد ثبت في الصحيحين عن النبي أنه قال: { خير القرون:القرن الذي جئت فيه، ثم الذين يلونهم، ثم الذين يلونهم} [رواه مسلم]. ومن أفضل الصحابة وأجلهم وأكثرهم نفعاً للأمة، الخلفاء الراشدون: أبوبكر، وعمر، وعثمان، وعلي رضي اللّه عنهم أجمعين.


أبوبكر الصديق رضي الله عنه

هو عبد الله بن أبى قحافة عثمان بن عامر التيمى القرشى أول الخلفاءالراشدين وأول من آمن برسول الله صلى الله علبه وسلم من الرجال ولد أبو بكر بعد عام الفيل بسنتين وستة أشهر ولد بمكة ونشأ سيد من سادات قريش وغنيا من كبار موسريهم وعالما بأنساب القبائل وأخبارها وسياستها ، وكانت العرب تلقبه بعالم قريش
شهد الغزوات كلها وبذل الأموال فى سبيل الله وبويع بالخلافة يوم وفاة رسول الله صلي الله عليه وسلم- سنة 11 هجرية قال عنه الرسول ارحم امتى بأمتى ابو بكر و قال لو كنت متخذ من البشر خليلاً لاتخذت ابو بكر و ذكر فى القرأن قال الله تعالى: (اذ يقول لصاحبه لا تحزن ان الله معنا ) وقد وصفة الرسول عليه الصلاة والسلام (((بالصديق)))، فعن أنس بن مالك قال: صعد رسول الله أُحداً ومعه أبوبكر وعمر وعثمان فرجف بهم فقال: { اثبت أحداً، فإنما عليك نبي وصديق وشهيدان } [رواه مسلم].
وأبوبكر أول من دعا إلى الله من الصحابة فأسلم على يديه أكابر الصحابة، ومنهم: (عثمان بن عفان ، وطلحة ، والزبير ، وعبدالرحمن بن عوف ، وأبو عبيدة ، رضي الله عنهم أجمعين.
وقد قال عنه الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم: { إن من أمنِّ الناس عليَّ في صحبته وذات يده أبوبكر } [رواهالترمذي]. وكان رسول الله يقضي في مال أبي بكر كما يقضي في مال نفسه. وعن أبي هريرة قال: قال رسول الله : { ما نفعني مال قط ما نفعني مال أبي بكر } [رواه أحمد]. فبكى أبوبكر وقال: ( وهل أنا ومالي إلا لك يارسول الله ). وإنفاق أبي بكر هذا كان لإقامة الدين والقيام بالدعوة فقد أعتق بلالاً وعامر بن فهيرة وغيرهما كثير.
وفي الترمذي وسنن أبي داود عن عمر قال: ( أمرنا رسول الله أن نتصدق، فوافق ذلك في مالاً، فقال النبي : { ما أبقيت لأهلك؟ } فقلت: مثله، وأتى أبوبكر بكل ما عنده، فقال: { يا أبا بكر، ما أبقيت لأهلك؟ } قال: أبقيت لهم الله ورسوله، قلت: لا أسابقه إلى شيء أبداً ). وكانت أحب نساء الرسول إليه عائشة ابنة الصديق رضي الله عنهما. ولأبي بكر ذروة سنام الصحبة، وأعلاها مرتبة، فإنه صحب الرسول من حين بعثه الله إلى أن مات، فقد صحبه في
أشد أوقات الصحبة، ولم يسبقه أحد فيها، فقد هاجر معه واختبأ معه في الغار قال الله تعالى: إِلاَّ تَنصُرُوهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللّهُ إِذْ أَخْرَجَهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ثَانِيَ اثْنَيْنِ إِذْ هُمَا فِي الْغَارِ إِذْ يَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِهِ لاَ تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ اللّهَ مَعَنَا فَأَنزَلَ اللّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَيَّدَهُ بِجُنُودٍ لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا [التوبة:40]، والصديق أتقى الأمة بدلالة الكتاب والسنة، قال تعالى: (وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى (17) الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّى (18) وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَى (19) إِلَّا ابْتِغَاء وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَى [الليل:17-20].
وقد ذكر غير واحد من أهل العلم أنها نزلت في أبي بكر. ولأبي بكر من الفضائل والخصائص التي ميّزه الله بها عن غيره كثير، منها: أنه أزهد الصحابة، وأشجع الناس بعد رسول الله صلى عليه وسلم، وأنه أحب الخلق إلى رسول الله ، ولم يَسُؤهُ قط، وهو أفضل الأمة بعد النبي عليه أفضل الصلاة وأزكى التسليم، وهو أول من يدخل الجنة، كما روى أبوداود في سننه أن النبي قال لأبي بكر: { أما إنك يا أبا بكر أول من يدخل الجنة من أمتي } [رواه الحاكم]. وهو أحق الناس بالخلافة بعد رسول الله .. وتأمل في خصال اجتمعت فيه في يوم واحد: قال رسول الله لأصحابه:
{ من أصبح منكم اليوم صائماً؟ فقال: أبوبكر: أنا، قال: فمن تبع منكم اليوم جنازة؟ فقال أبوبكر: أنا، قال: هل فيكم من عاد مريضاً؟ قال أبوبكر: أنا، قال: هل فيكم من تصدق بصدقة؟ فقال أبوبكر: أنا، قال: ما اجتمعن في امرىءٍ إلا دخل الجنة } [رواه مسلم].وكما كتب الله لأبي بكر أن يكون مع الرسول ثاني اثنين في الإسلام، فقد كتب له أن يكون ثاني اثنين في غار ثور، وأن يكون ثاني اثنين في العريش الذي نُصب للرسول في يوم بدر. ولعلم الصحابة بمكانه وقربه من الرسول وفضله وسابقة إسلامه، فقد بايعوه بعد وفاة الرسول بالخلافة، وقد كان أمر وفاة الرسول
ذا حزن وفزع وصدمة عنيفة، وقف لها أبوبكر ليعلن للناس في إيمان عميق قائلاً: ( أيها الناس، من كان يعبد محمداً فإن محمداً قد مات، ومن كان يعبد الله فإن الله حيٌّ لا يموت )، ثم تلا على الناس قول الله عز وجل لرسوله ( إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُم مَّيِّتُونَ ) [الزمر:30]. وتمت البيعة بإجماع من المهاجرين والأنصار. وقد كانت سياسته العامة والخاصة خيرٌ للإسلام والمسلمين و الناس كافة، أوجزها في كلمة قالها خطيباً في مسجد رسول الله بعد أخذ البيعة قال:
( أيها الناس، إني قد وُلِّيت عليكم ولست بخيركم، فإن أحسنت فأعينوني، وإن أسأت فقوِّموني، الصدق أمانة، والكذب خيانة، والضعيف فيكم قويٌ عندي حتى آخذ الحق له إن شاء الله، والقوي فيكم ضعيفٌ عندي حتى آخذ الحق منه إن شاء الله، لا يدع قوم الجهاد في سبيل اللّه إلا ضربهم الله بالذل، ولا تشيع الفاحشة في قوم قط إلا
عمهم الله بالبلاء، أطيعوني ما أطعت الله ورسوله، فإذا عصيتُ الله ورسوله فلا طاعة لي عليكم ). وهي خطبة شاملة جامعة أتبعها بالعمل لخدمة هذا الدين ونشره، فأنفذ جيش أسامة بن زيد، وبلغ من تكريم أبي بكر لهذا الجيش الذي جهزه الرسول أن سار في توديعه ماشياً على قدميه، وأسامة راكب، وقد أوصى الجيش بوصية عظيمة فيها تعاليم الإسلام ومبادئه السمحة. ثم قام أبوبكر بعمل عظيم لا ينهض له إلا الرجال الموفقون، فقد وقف للردة التي وقعت بعد وفاة الرسول موقفاً لا هوادة فيه ولا ليونة، وقال كلمته المشهورة: ( والله لأقاتلن من فرّق بين الصلاة والزكاة، فإن الزكاة حق المال، والله لو منعوني عقالاً كانوا يؤدونها إلى رسول الله لقاتلتهم على منعها ). ولما يسر الله عز وجل القضاء على المرتدين انطلقت عينا أبي بكر خارج الجزيرة العربية؛ رغبة في نشر هذا الدين وإخراج الناس من الظلمات إلى النور، فوجَّه الجيوش إلى الجهاد في أرض فارس والروم، وجعل على قائد جبهة الفرس خالد بن الوليد رضي الله عنه، وعلى قائد جبهة الروم أبوعبيدة عامر بن الجراح رضي الله عنه.
وكانت أولى المواقع العظيمة موقعة اليرموك التي فتح الله فيها للمسلمين أرض الروم وما وراءها. ومن أجلِّ أعمال أبي بكر جمع القرآن الكريم، وقد عهد بذلك إلى زيد بن ثابت رضي الله عنه، فقام بالأمر حتى
كتب المصحف في صحف جُمعت كلها ووضعت عند أبي بكر، حتى انتقلت من بعده إلى عمر، ثم إلى عثمان رضي الله عنهم أجمعين.
مرض أبوبكر وتوفي في جمادى الآخر سنة 13هـ ودفن بجوار الرسول ، وكانت مدة خلافته سنتين وثلاثة أشهر، وعهد للخلافة من بعده إلى عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه.

اللهم ارض عن أبي بكر، واجزه الجزاء الأوفى؛ جزاء ما قدم للإسلام والمسلمين.
