The Noble Personality ofthe Beloved of Allah

We have not sent thee except as a mercy

to the worlds. [Surah 21 Aayat 107]adhrat Muhammad rose like the midday sun fromthe horizon of Arabia and dissipated the intense

darkness around the globe. His personality embodied the

boldness of Hadhrat Moosa , the courteousness ofHadhrat Haroon , the patience of Hadhrat Ayyoob

, the grandeur of Hadhrat Sulaiman and the

humility of Hadhrat Isa

. His leadership standsunparalleled in the annals of history. He despised the pomp

of royalty, dutifully carried out the daily chores of the family;

he kindled the fire, swept the floor, milked the cows and

mended his own shoes and garments.

H

The beautiful features of

Hadhrat Nabi Akram Hadhrat Nabi Akram

was neither tall nor short but

of medium stature. His sacred hair had a slight wave in it

(neither straight nor curly). His sacred eye lashes were long

and his sacred eyes extremely black. He had a broad chest

with a well developed body. His sacred palms were soft and

fleshy. He had a thick beard, with a line of hair running fromthe sacred chest to the sacred naval. His sacred teeth were

like a set of pearls, beaming white. He always had a smiling

countenance. His perspiration emitted a fragrance sweeter

than musk. Hadhrat Aaishah

would frequently say:The women cut their hands off when they were

enchanted and captivated by the beauty ofHadhrat Yoosuf , had they seen my

beloved, they would have cut out their hearts.The simplicity of

Hadhrat Nabi Akram Hadhrat Anas

states that Hadhrat Nabi

Akram frequently visited the sick, followed the janaza,responded to the invitation of (even) a slave and rode on a

mule (Ibn Majah).Hadhrat Aaishah

reported that Hadhrat Nabi

Akram used to mend his shoes, sew his cloth and work

in the household just as any of you would do in your

households. He was a man among men who patched his

clothes, milked his goats and served himself. (Trimizi)

His concern and sacrificesThe Holy Quran States:You are very nearly going to kill yourself out ofgrief that they do not believe. [Surah 26 Aayat 3]

Hadhrat Nabi Akram said I have been subjected

to harm (and suffering) in the cause of Allah Taala, as no one

else had been. The brutal tortures and relentlesspersecutions reached such levels that the path way of Hadhrat

Nabi Akram was secretly laden with thorns. He and his

group of devout companions were denied a home,denied food, water and medicine for three years. The cry of

infants and children echoed through the valleys of Arabia.

The Mission of Hadhrat NabiAkram The mission of Hadhrat Nabi Akram is eloquently

portrayed in a speech which Hadhrat Jafar

made to

the ruler of Abyssinia in Africa. He said:

O King! We were a people of ignorance, worshipingidols, eating the flesh of dead animals, committing

abominations, neglecting our relations, doing evil to ourneighbours and the strong amongst us would oppressthe weak. We were in this state when Allah Taala sent tous a messenger from amongst us, whose decency andsincerity, trustworthiness and honesty were known tous. He summoned us to the worship of one true Allahand to divest ourselves of the stones and idols whichwe and our forefathers had been ascribing to Allah

Taala. He ordered us to be truthful in speech, to fulfill allthat is entrusted to us, to care for our relatives, to bekind to our neighbours, to refrain from unlawful foodand the consumption of blood. He forbade us fromengaging in shameful acts and false speech

The Fundamental Principles Expoundedby Hadhrat Nabi Akram at the

Farewell Pilgrimage Equality of men, irrespective of colour or nationality. Superiority based solely on piety.

Sanctity of life, property and honour.

Abolition of interest and usury.

The rights and fair treatment of women.

The concept of accountability of personal responsibility.

Importance of the pillars of religion i.e. Prayer, Fasting,Charity and Pilgrimage.

The Quran and Sunnah as the only source of salvation.

The obligation of conveying the message.

Hadhrat Nabi Akram ,The Greatest of Mankind

Never has a man set for himself, voluntarily orinvoluntarily, a more sublime aim, since this aim wassuperhuman: to subvert superstitions which had beeninterposed between man and his Creator, to render Godunto man and man unto God, to restore the rational andsacred idea of divinity amidst the chaos of the material and


5/31

7

disfigured gods of idolatry, then existing.Never has a man undertaken a work so far beyond

human power with so feeble means, for he (Hadhrat NabiAkram ) had in the conception as well as in the execution

of such a great design no other instrument than himself, andno other aid, except a handful of men living in a corner ofdesert. Finally, never has a man accomplished such a hugeand lasting revolution in the world ..

If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and

astounding results are the true criteria of human genius, whocould dare to compare any great man in modern history with

Hadhrat Nabi Akram ? The most famous men created

arms, laws, and empires only. They founded, if anything atall, no more than material powers which often crumbledaway before their own eyes. This man moved not onlyarmies, legislations, empires, people and dynasties, but

millions of men in one third of the inhabited world, and morethan that, he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, theideas, the beliefs and the souls. On the basis of a book,every letter of which has become a law, he created aspiritual nationality which blended together people of everytongue and of every race. He has left us as the indeliblecharacteristic of this Muslim nationality the hatred of false

gods and the passion of the one and immaterial god Theconquest of one third of the earth to his dogma was hismiracle; rather it was not the miracle of a man but that ofreason.

His life, his meditations, his heroic reviling againstthe superstitions of his country, and his boldness in defyingthe furies of idolatry, his firmness in enduring them for

thirteen years at Makkah, his acceptance of the role of publicscorn and almost of being a victim of his fellow countrymen:all these and finally his migration, his incessant preaching,his wars against odds, his faith in his success and hissuperhuman security in misfortune, his forbearance invictory, his ambition, which was entirely devoted to one idea


6/31

and in no manner striving for an empire, his endless prayers,his mystic conversations with God all these (served) to

affirm conviction which gave him the power to restore acreed.

Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior,conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cultwithout images; the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and

of one spiritual empire, that is Hadhrat Muhammad . As

regards all standards by which human greatness may be

measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater thanhe?(Lamartine, Histoire de la turquire, Paris, 1854).

Conclusion

The Prophet (Hadhrat Nabi Akram ) said: None of

you has perfect faith until I am more beloved to him than hisparents, his children and all the people. Real love for him

will induce us to follow him in all walks of life.The Sunnah is the axle on which the Deen of Islam

rotates. A quality apple has the colour, taste and smell of anapple. If any one of these qualities is missing, then the applewill be an imperfect one. Similarly we will only be realMuslims if we have the taste, colour and smell of the sunnah

of Hadhrat Nabi Akram in our way of walking, talking,

eating, behaving, our social, political and financial dealings.In short, every aspect of life should be moulded according tohis noble lifestyle. We judge a fruit by looking at its exterior.Likewise the manner in which a person conducts his life is atrue reflection of his God conscience and his love for

Hadhrat Nabi Akram .

The Holy Prophet (Hadhrat Nabi Akram ) was an

embodiment of all noble qualities but there are threequalities which made him most beloved to his followers andattracted them like a magnet and they are: (1) Kamaal(perfection), (2) Jamaal (beauty), (3) Nawaal (generosity).

1. Kamaal: Hadhrat Nabi Akram was the seal ofProphets and the spiritual head of them all. Two


7/31

9

thirds of the people will be of his Ummah on the dayof Qiyaamah. He was once seated in Makkah when

a non-believer came and sat before him and lookedat his face. He then said in amazement: Stretch outyour hand so that I may accept Islam. Thereafter theQuraish hurled abuses to him. The man replied:That face can never speak a lie. Hadhrat Anas said that for ten years I was in the service of

Hadhrat Nabi Akram

but he never rebuked meand he did not use the word no. this was hisperfection.

2. Jamaal: Hadhrat Aaishah said: We have asun and the people have a sun but our sun (thesacred face of Hadhrat Nabi Akram ) never sets.One Sahabi said I looked at the full moon

and compared it to the face of Hadhrat Nabi Akram I could not decide which one was morebeautiful.

3. Nawaal: He rarely refused anything. His poverty was a

voluntary one. He once had some gold in his house andthe thought of this deprived him of many hours of sleep.

These qualities created an instant affinity for himin others. Abdullah Ibn Zaid Ibn Abdi Rabbihi at

the demise of Hadhrat Nabi Akram said: I have nomore need for my eyes. Hadhrat Abu Bakr saidto Hadhrat Nabi Akram : There are three things Icherish most: a look at your face, to spend my wealth

on you and that my daughter is thy wife.

May Allah Taala grant every Muslim anopportunity of developing an intense love for HadhratNabi Akram . Aameen

TAFSEER(Commentary of the Holy Quran)

By: Maulana Mufti Muhammad Shafi Sahib(Rahmatullaahi Alaihi)

SURAH AL-BAQARAHNote: This part of Tafseer is the remaining portion of Surah Al-BaqarahTafseer and hence connected with the previous chapter of Surah Al-Baqarah Tafseer.

Verse 40-42

o

o

o

O Children of Israil (the Israelites), remember Myblessing that I conferred upon you, and fulfill the

covenant with Me, so I fulfill your covenant, and have

awe of me alone. And have faith in what I have

revealed, confirming what is already with you, and do

not be the first to deny it, nor take a paltry price for

my signs. And fear me alone. And do not confoundtruth with falsehood, and do not hide the truth when

you know. (verse 40-42)

The Surah Al-Baqarah begins by speaking of the

Holy Quran itself, and tells us that although it provides


9/31

11

guidance to all men, yet only true Muslims will derive a

full benefit from it. The Surah proceeds to warn the

disbelievers against the grievous punishment which

awaits them in the other world, and also to delineate

the misdeeds of the two kinds of disbelievers those

who deny openly, and the hypocrites. Then, addressing

all the three groups, it urges upon them to worship

Allah Taala alone, and, presenting the Holy Quran asa miracle which cannot be imitated by man, invites

them to have faith in it. Next, the Surah recounts how

Adam

was created to be the viceregent of Allah

Taala, and thus shows the omnipotence and wisdom of

Allah so that men may realize why they must obey andworship Him and never be disobedient to Him.

Now, in the days of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi

Wasallam) there were two kinds of people among the

disbelievers and the hypocrites. On the one hand were

mushrikeen, idolaters and associators who did not possessany religious knowledge, were even otherwise mostly

illiterate, and followed the customs of their forefathers for

example, the inhabitants of Makkah in general whom the

Holly Quran calls the Ummiyyun (the illiterate). On the other

hand were those who believed in the earlier prophets, had a

knowledge of the earlier Divine Books like the Torah and the

Evangel, and were known as being well-educated. Some of

them were the followers of Sayyidina Musa

(Moses),

but did not accept Sayyidina Isa

(Jesus) as a prophet


10/31

12

these were the Yahud or the Jews. Others were the

followers of Sayyidina Isa

, but did not believe in

Sayyidina Musa

was being a prophet, divinely

protected against all sin these were the Nasara or the

Christians. On account of their belief either in the Torah or the

Evangel or in both, the Holy Quran calls these two groups

Ahl al-Kitab (the people of the book). Being well-educated,

they were respected and trusted by the people around them,

and their opinion had a great deal of weight. If they came to

the straight path, others too could be expected to follow their

example.

The Jews predominated in Madinah and its environs.

The Surah Al-Baqarah is also Madinite. So, after dealing

with the idolaters and associators, it addresses the people of

the Book in a special manner, from verse 40 to verse 123.

Adopting a persuasive and friendly tone, the Surah refers to

the noble family to which they belong and the honour which

they receive from the people on account of such anaffiliation: then, recounting the blessings which Allah Taala

has been showering on them, it asks them to be aware of

their many misdeeds and their sins, and invites them to

come to the Straight Path. All this has been said, to begin

with, in a very brief manner four verses inviting them to

Islam, and three to good deeds. Then comes a long and

detailed address to them, at the beginning of which, as also

just before the end, occur the words, ya Bani Israil (O

children of Israil) the repetition is, of course, the usual


11/31

13

rhetorical device for making the speech persuasive.

[Tas-heelul Ahadith]1.

Hadith

Hadhrat Anas bin Malik (Radhiyallahu Anhu) relates

that Hadhrat Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) drankwater in three draughts (i.e. in three gulps/sips) and

used to say: It is more pleasing and satisfying in this

manner.

Commentary:Water should not be drunk in one gulp. The

Ulama have written many harmful effects of drinking

water in one breath. It especially weakens the

The drinking manners of Hadhrat

Rasulullah(Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)


12/31

14

muscels and nerves. It is also detrimental for the liver

and stomach. Therefore, one should always drink

water in three draughts.

Similarly amongst the etiquettes of drinking is to

drink with the vessel being in the right hand and to

look into the vessel. To sit and drink is also an

important etiquette. It is reported that Hadhrat

Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) stood and drank

ZamZam. However, Ulama states that whilst drinking

ZamZam a person can stand or sit. It is not Fardh to

stand nor is it a sin to sit and face any other direction

besides the Qiblah.

LESSONS

1. Water (or any other drink) should be drank in

three draughts (gulps/sips).2. Water should not be drunk in one gulp as it is

harmful.

3. Water should be drunk by holding the vessel in

the right hand.

4. Similarly a person should look into the vessel

while drinking and not blow into it.

5. One should sit and drink besides the drinking of

ZamZam which is permissible to stand or to sit

Sajdah to anyone other than Allah

An answer to those who infer the permissibility of Sajdah toanyone other than Allah on the basis of the Sajdah of the angels.

Question: Hadhrat Yoosufs

parents and brothersmade Sajdah to him. What was the basis of the Sajdah at that

time? Why was it made? Similarly, the angels made Sajdah toHadhrat Aadam . Why then isnt it permissible for us tomake Sajdah in front of some grave or ones peer and murshid(spiritual mentor) like how it was permissible for those people?

Answer: A son used to be born for Hadhrat Aadam in the morning and a daughter in the evening.

The daughter born on one day could marry the son

born the next day. What answer will be given to one

who says that just as it was permissible for a person


17/31

19

to marry his or her brother or sister in the past then it

should be made permissible for us to do the same

today as well!! Obviously, it will be said to him that it

was permissible for them and not for us. Allah Taala

has the right to make lawful whatever He wishes for

whichever Nabi He desires. It is not necessarythat we may do whatever they were allowed to do.

Jurisprudence

THE LEGAL STATUSOF FOLLOWING A

MADHABBy: Justice Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Translated by: Muhammad Amin Kholwadia


RESPONSES TO DOUBTS RAISEDAGAINST TAQLEED

In reality, however, not even scholars examine each

issue a new rather they too are obliged to resort to the

books of fiqh of the early scholars. The only difference is

that instead of reading books from the Hanafi, Shafiee

schools of thought, they prefer to refer to Ibn Taymiyah, Ibn

Qayyim, Ibn Hazm and Qadi Shaukani. Thus, they

consider the opinions of these scholars as being sound


18/31

20

and just and consequently follow them. If antagonists of

Taqleed do have the opportunity to research and comb

through all of their resources on the Quran and Sunnah on

an issue, they are left with no alternative except to follow.

This is because as they try to establish the authenticity of

a certain Hadith they have to rely upon the opinions of

the scholars who screened the narrators of Hadith (Jarh

wa Tadeel). No alternative exists except to determinewhether one narrator was weak as opposed to another

except by what the Ulama, declared earlier. In other words,

deciding that a particular Hadith is weak one has to resort

to Ulama of Jarh wa Tadeelwho deemed the narrators of

the Hadith weak. This is taqleed with regards to the opinion

of that particular scholar on Hadith. The books which

screen the narrators of Hadith do not offer reasons for their

judgments; they merely state individuals who had weak

memories (or other flaws) and others who had good

memories. Furthermore, where there are two Hadith which

are quiet sound as for as the chain of the narrators go,upon what basis is preference given to one over the other.

The only basis which usually governs the acceptance of

one Hadith over another is the opinion of a certain scholar,

who has deemed the less preferred Hadith as suspect to

another interpretation. Relying upon the expert opinion of a

scholar to make their own judgments regarding Ahadith,

ironically, is allowed in this circumstance. The truth is that

following the opinion of experts is part and parcel of

everyday life. If we were to condemn this very normal and


19/31

21

mundane activity, life would be become impossible.

The Hadith of Adi Ibn Hatim

The following Hadith reported from Adi Ibn Hatim is

also used to refute the arguments for Taqleed.

Adi Ibn Hatim said that he came to the Prophet wearing a gold cross around his neck. The Prophet

said:

O Adi! Through away this idol from yourself.Then the Prophet recited the verse:

They took their savants and sages as Lords besides

Allah. (to be continued, Insha Allah)

Bringing UpChildren In IslamBy: Maulana Dr. Muhammad Habibullaah Mukhtaar

Translated by Rafiiq Abdurrahmaan


Responsibility relating to PhysicalEducation

Physical Training of children is also an important

parental responsibility and ensures children remain alert

and healthy. Islam prescribes a method of physical training

whose main points are:

Responsibility towards the expenses of wife and

children

The Noble Quran has enjoined upon a man to feed


20/31

22

and clothe his wife and children1. The money spent on his

wife and children entitles the man to a reward greater than

the reward earned from taking part in Jihaad in the causeof Allah, or liberating a slave, or giving Sadaqah2. It is a sin

to hold back the rights of the family members or to be

miserly in spending on them3.

Good eating and drinking habitsThe Noble Rasool has advised against eating to

fill ones stomach to over-eating. One must eat only asmuch as is enough to keep ones back straight. The

stomach should be divided into three parts: a third for

eating, a third for drinking and a third for air (breathing)4.

Sit when drinking water, recite Bismillah, take three

sips and do not exhale into the utensil. After drinking,

praise Allah Taala, saying Alhamdulillah5.Sleep on the right side facing the Qiblah. To sleep

on the left is harmful to the heart and causes difficulty in

breathing. Before sleeping, say the masnuun duaas

(Sunnah invocations)6.

Keep away from infectious diseases

The Ahaadith command one to keep away from lepersas a precautionary measure7. A leper from Thaqiif was

advised by Sayyidina Rasoolullah to return home, after

the Noble Rasool had taken his allegiance8. He said,

once afflicted (with an infectious disease) must not go near a

healthy person1. Therefore, keep young children away from

people who are afflicted with contagious diseases.

Treatment and medication for the sickIt is Sunnah to take medicine. Therefore, it is wrong to

delay or evade treatment. According to a Hadith, there is a

medicine for every illness; when the medicine is appropriate

for the illness, the patient is cured by the command of Allah,

the Exalted. The Noble Rasool has said, O bondsmanof Allah, treat yourself when you are ill, because Allah, theExalted, has created a cure for every illness except old age2.

People asked him if incantation and medical treatment had

any effect. He replied that things by Allah Most High had

been determined3. (to be continued, Insha Allah)

Answer:- According to most Ulama, it is not

permissible to take pictures of animate objects with a

cell-phone. However, the pictures are saved on the

phone in such a manner that until that particular file is

not opened, the picture is not visible; then, Salaah

performed with the phone in ones pocket will be valid.

Furthermore, generally the picture on the screen isvery small and unclear. If it is displayed in this manner

it will not invalidate the Salaah, especially when it

remains covered in the pocket1. (to be continued, Insha Allah)

Letters to the

EditorWhat will be the fate of ournation?

Dear Editor,

This has a reference to the editorial, titled

Academic deviances at KU July-2010 by Muhtaram

Fayyaz Ahmad Zaroo Sahib.

I was very shocked to know the abominable


26/31

28

image of Kashmir University that is highly condemnable.

I had been erstwhile connected with KU, the so-called

highest seat of learning tilting towards anti-Islamic

plans, but the extent which the editor has surfaced is

very much grievous and shocking that have made all

the intellectuals concerned about it. If our so-called

highest seat of learning will dare to crack our

established beliefs, what will be the fate of our nation?

The universities are called as future factories; obviously

it will produce defective future to the nation.

It is also very annoyed to find that the so-called

intellectuals and professors of our soil are carrying

evangelistic / Zionist mission in our universities. Shame

on them!

I appreciate the Darul-Uloom Raheemiyyah, the

diamond asset of our valley, for having the jury of

Islamic Muftis for vacuum cleaning the dust on Islam

accumulated by the pseudo-Islamic scholars. May Allah

Taala give them Tafaqqah-e-Azeem (great sense of

understanding).

Dear Editor,

This has a reference to your editorial, Academic

deviances at KU, An-Noor, July-2010 by Mr. Fayyaz

Ahmad Zaroo Sahib. The findings of the evangelist, Mr.

Alan R. Velie Professor of English at David Ross Boyed

University of Oklahoma America, which he presented in

Ibne-Khuldun auditorium of Kashmir University that

Hadhrat Eisaa has been crucified, were based onanecdotal evidence rather than serious research.

However, the entire Muslim Ummah believe

dogmatically that Hadhrat Eisaa was never

crucified, and the same dogma is firmly anchored in a

Muslim world view based on the verses of the Holy

Quraan and a big number of authentic Ahaadith of the

Holy Prophet

Religious woes of muslimstudents of KU

Dear Editor,

Apropos the editorial, Academic deviances atKU, An-Noor, July-2010 by Mr. Fayyaz Ahmad Zaroo

Sahib. The author of the said editorial should be lauded

for bringing the plight of Muslim students of Kashmir

University to focus. An-Noor is the only journal in the

state of Jammu and Kashmir which has spoken plainly

about the religious woes of Muslim students of KU. And

the menace of ragging is still looming large over the KU

campus.

Darul-Uloom Raheemiyyah Bandipora in which many

renowned scholars of Islam and saintly elders from the

country and abroad participated, the status of your

Darul-Uloom Raheemiyyah elevated to the position of a

towering institution in the seminaries of Jammu &

Kashmir State.

Great achievement

Dear Editor,

The monthly An-Noor is being published for the

last six years. It has also a good reputation among the

readers across the country. This is a great achievement

for any Islamic journal. But the period of one month is

too long to wait. May I request An-Noorteam to make it

fortnightly so that readers may receive its Noorin quick

succession

Two saintly elders of Raheemiyyahpassed away

The different talents and abilities of men play apivotal role in establishing an institute, so the men whohave different capabilities of serving an institute undertakeits projects and tasks viz. construction, academics,administration etc. and accomplish them positively. Butthere are some men who do not take part in any physicalor tangible activity of the institute, however, they

contribute very much to the institute by praying sincerelyto Allah Almighty for the development of the institute.Hadhrat Maulana Khaleel Sahib was among such menwho was offering Darul-Uloom Raheemiyyah his prayersand a lot of care. It was 14th Muharramul-haraam 1432 AHcorresponding to 21 December 2010 when MaulanaKhaleel Ahmad Sahib passed away in old age. Afterspending three years in the reformative work of Dawat andTabligh, Maulana Khaleel Sahib (Alaihir rahmah) devotedhimself fully to Taleem and Tabligh at Masjid ZakariyyaRawalpendi. Another personality was Jenab Peer GhulamMuhammad Shah Sahib who contributed to Darul-UloomRaheemiyyah from the period of its establishment to thistime. He was very affectionate to the administration,teachers and the students of Raheemiyyah, and wasterming Raheemiyyah an asset for the Hereafter. It was18th Muharram 1432 AH corresponding to Dec. 25, 2010when Jenab Peer Ghulam Muhammad Shah Sahibbreathed his last. Eisaal-e-thawaab was performed forboth the deceased at Raheemiyyah. May Allah Almighty

grant Jannatul-Firdaws to both the elders abovementioned.

Raheemiyyah Bandipora has purchased a large chunk of

land adjacent to its new complex in the vicinity of

Mahmood-aabad Nussoo Bandipora. The payment was

required to be paid in instalments. Many Muslim men and

women donated for the same, may Allah Taala accept

their donation. Now the last and final instalment is due, so

immediate donation is needed.

Donation can be deposited in the bank account of

Darul-Uloom Raheemiyyah under the account No: CD

1226 JK Bank Branch Bandipora. Donors are requested

to please inform the office of Darul-Uloom Raheemiyyah

after depositing their donation in the bank on phone as itis necessary for maintaining the accounts and dispatching

the receipts.

Some persons desire to donate without disclosing

their names and addresses to the Raheemiyyah office.

But the office must be informed about the same as it will

save the accountants from any kind of inconvenience, and

such kind of information does not reduce the reward of

hidden donation.
