\u0627\u0644\u062d\u0645\u062f \u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0648 \u0643\u0641\u0649 \u0648 \u0633\u0644\u0627\u0645 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0639\u0628\u0627\u062f\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0630\u064a\u0646 \u0627\u0635\u0637\u0641\u0649 \u060c \u0623\u0645\u0627 \u0628\u0639\u062f :<\/p>\n
It is mentioned in the hadeeth that Allah Ta\u2019ala has commanded a group of angels to disperse on the earth and present the greetings and salutations recited upon Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) to Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). They convey the greeting and say, \u201cSo and so, the child of so and so, has recited this greeting and salutation for you.\u201d Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) becomes pleased and replies to the greeting.<\/p>\n
Now a person may question that since we are reciting durood for a lengthy period, how is it that we have not seen any angels? The answer is that \u2018seeing\u2019 is not a pre-condition for existence. To \u2018see\u2019 or \u2018witness\u2019 something physical and use this as the benchmark for acceptance, is a grave error. Our rationale should be that whatever Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) has stated, is sufficient for us to accept.<\/p>\n
Operation Imaan<\/strong><\/p>\n On one occasion, I had visited a certain place. After performing Maghrib salaah, I was confronted by a person who very brusquely asked me, \u201cMoulana, I wish to ask you a question. Tell me. Where is Allah Ta\u2019ala? If He exists, then why is it that I cannot see Him? Until I do not perceive Him with my five senses of perception, I will not accept His existence.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis answer requires a detailed explanation and I cannot answer you whilst standing here on the road. I am residing at a certain place. Please come there and we will discuss this matter.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBravo, Moulana,\u201d he replied sarcastically. \u201cFor one small mas\u2019alah, I will have to present myself in your royal court!\u201d<\/p>\n From this one statement of his, I understood his complete temperament and what kind of person he was.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you had studied medicine and then excelled in the field of surgery, say eye surgery, and here, whilst standing on the road, someone comes up to you and says, \u2018Doctor, I have a cataract in my eye, and since you are an expert in this field, please operate on me now.\u2019 What will you say to him?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou will say,\u201d I continued, \u201cBrother, operations are not done in this fashion. You will have to first gain admission into a hospital. Thereafter, your system will be cleansed. Your eyelashes will be cut. You will be made to lie down. Your eye will be anaesthetised, and only then can the operation be conducted. After the operation, a bandage will be tied around your eyes and you will have to remain motionless for many hours. You will not be allowed to walk or talk to anyone. Operations on the eye are done in this fashion and if he retorts \u2018Bravo, Doctor! For a minor matter also I will have to present myself in your royal court,\u2019 what will you say to him? If you operate on him there and then, then you have betrayed your profession. You will in all likelihood damage his eye. Needless to say, if the government learns of your action they will confiscate your diploma and punish you accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n After presenting this example, he agreed to meet me at my place of residence. These people do not understand the reality of proofs. They understand examples very quickly but not proofs.<\/p>\n Moulana Abdul Hay <\/strong>\u0631\u062d\u0645\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647<\/span><\/strong> and Sir Sayyid Sahib<\/strong><\/p>\n Moulana Abdul Hay Lucknowy \u0631\u062d\u0645\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647<\/span> was travelling by train. Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan, who was travelling with his dog, happened to be on the same train and in the same compartment.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat kind of a person are you that you keep a dog with you?\u201d Moulana \u0631\u062d\u0645\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647<\/span> snapped.<\/p>\n \u201cI have heard the Ulama say,\u201d he explained \u201cthat the angels do not come to a place where a dog is kept. I keep this dog with me so that the angel of death will not come near me.\u201d<\/p>\n Moulana Abdul Hay \u0631\u062d\u0645\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647<\/span> calmly replied, \u201cA certain angel is appointed to take away the lives of dogs. That angel will take your life away.\u201d<\/p>\n They both had heard of one another but they had not met before.<\/p>\n \u201cAre you Moulana Abdul Hay \u0631\u062d\u0645\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647<\/span>?\u201d Sir Sayyid enquired.<\/p>\n \u201cAre you Sir Sayyid?\u201d<\/p>\n That was the first meeting between them. The matter was self-explanatory and did not require further clarification.<\/p>\n The selfish hound<\/strong><\/p>\n Someone asked Moulana Thanwi \u0631\u062d\u0645\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647<\/span> the reason for the impermissibility of rearing dogs. Moulana \u0631\u062d\u0645\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647<\/span>replied that the angels of mercy do not frequent homes where a dog is kept. He could not digest this reason. His intellect failed to comprehend it.<\/p>\n So Moulana Thanwi \u0631\u062d\u0645\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647<\/span> replied that a dog does not have a sense of well-wishing even for its own kind. It cannot tolerate another dog coming into its alley or lane, even though that dog may be from its own breed. The individual accepted this reasoning. This was the comprehensible reasoning, but not the actual reason, whereas the actual sensible reason he could not accept.<\/p>\n Five senses<\/strong><\/p>\n (Continuing with the incident of the person to whom the explanation of the eye operation was given) Anyway, as agreed that person arrived on a certain day and introduced himself.<\/p>\n \u201cVery well, I am free and so are you, go ahead, and ask your questions,\u201d I said in a soft tone.<\/p>\n \u201cWhere is Allah?\u201d he demanded. \u201cIf He exists, why can I not see Him? Until I cannot see Him using my five senses, I will not accept His existence.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt seems to me that you have heard these words from another source, by hearted it without understanding its meaning and you are now quoting it like a parrot. A parrot repeats words and phrases without understanding its meaning,\u201d I replied calmly.<\/p>\n He did not like this answer and retorted, \u201cWhat makes you say that I do not understand the meaning of my questions?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI say this because if I ask you to explain your question, you will not be able to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI most certainly can explain my question,\u201d he objected. \u201cAsk me anything you want to know.\u201d<\/p>\n I glanced at him. \u201cWhat are the five things with which you desire to see Allah Ta\u2019ala?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe five senses; sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOnly the faculty of sight has been created for seeing, not the other four,\u201d I corrected him. \u201cIf you ask a small child which sense he uses to see things, he will reply, with his eyes. Tell him that he sees with his ears and he will reject it. Ears are used for hearing, not seeing. Ask him whether he sees with his nose, he will say no. The nose is for smelling, not seeing. Ask him if he can see with his tongue, he will tell you that you are wrong. The tongue is used for tasting, not seeing. Ask him whether he sees with his hands, he will again say no. The hand is for touching, not seeing. The point is that a small child understands these things whereas you, a learned person, a graduate \u2013 Allah Ta\u2019ala alone knows how many degrees you have acquired \u2013 do not know these minor aspects.\u201d<\/p>\n Have you seen your liver?<\/strong><\/p>\n Thereafter, I continued explaining to him in this manner till he accepted my statement. I then requested him to rephrase his question.<\/p>\n \u201cWhere is Allah Ta\u2019ala?\u201d he muttered. \u201cIf He exists, why can I not see Him? Until I do not see him with my eyes, I will not accept His existence.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFour of the five pillars of your question\u2019s tent have fallen away, yet you are so rigid in your understanding?\u201d I pointed out. \u201cTell me, do you accept the existence of all the things in the world only if you see them and if you cannot see them do you then reject them? Did you see your ear? You may have seen its reflection in the mirror but you have not seen your ear. If someone says that you do not have ears, you will disagree whereas you have not really seen them. Have you seen your eyes? You may have seen your eyes\u2019 reflection in the mirror but you have not seen your eyes. If someone says that you are blind, what will you say? Have you seen your neck? Have you seen your tongue? Have you seen your back? Have you seen your heart within your bosom? Have you seen your liver? You have not seen any of these organs. You may have seen these bodily parts of other people but you have not seen your own bodily parts. If someone says that you do not have any of these, you will not be prepared to accept it.<\/p>\n \u201cTell me,\u201d I queried. \u201cHow many people reside in this town?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c136 000.\u201d His reply could easily be construed as an act of defiance.<\/p>\n \u201cHave you seen every resident?\u201d He remained silent.<\/p>\n \u201cHave you seen the light of your eyes?\u201d I queried, probingly. \u201cYou have seen the pupils of your eye in a mirror but the light therein, which is called sight, have you seen it? You cannot even see it in a mirror but you have it. In fact you are convinced that you have sight whereas you have not seen it.\u201d<\/p>\n I presented numerous other examples, none of which he could refute. However, I understood that his heart still refused to accept the truth. I then asked him his name and his father\u2019s name. He answered accordingly.<\/p>\n \u201cHave you seen the fatherhood of your father? You have seen a person but have you seen the basis for which you have referred to him as your father?\u201d There was a deafening silence.<\/p>\n A hollow claim<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWhat a mammoth statement you have made. I will not believe in its existence until I see it!<\/p>\n \u201cTell me, have you seen the president of India? Have you seen Makkah? Have you seen Madinah? Have you seen England? You have not seen any of these with your eyes but you are convinced of their existence.\u201d The truth was slowly dawning upon him.<\/p>\n I continued, \u201cVery well! Tell me. Initially you wanted to see Allah Ta\u2019ala using all five senses. We have terminated the possibility of seeing Him using four of the senses. But does this render these senses futile? Are you now declaring the sense of sight as useful and rendering the other four futile? You will only accept something if you see it! So if you acquire knowledge via the other four senses, will you not accept it? Your conclusion is that from the five senses, only one is useful and the others are futile? So to what degree will this claim: \u2018Until I do not see with my eyes, I will not accept,\u2019 be correct? This claim is palpably incorrect. In future, do not discuss such matters with intelligent people. Phrase your question in this way,\u201d I suggested. \u201cCan we see Allah Ta\u2019ala or not?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cVery well. Inform me about this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cYes, we will see Allah Ta\u2019ala\u201d, I assured him. \u201cBut tell me, if you wish to see the president of America, sitting here in India, will you be able to see him? You will not be able to see him. You will have to first undertake a journey, using different conveyances, to that country. You will have to apply for a visa and passport. Upon your arrival, the customs will search your luggage to ensure that you are not carrying anything illegal. You will then have to learn their language, don their attire, build up some form of contact with the president\u2019s associates and then perhaps you might get a chance of seeing him whereas he is just a human being like you.\u201d<\/p>\n Off to meet the king<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cNow sitting here in India, when you are unable to see a human being like yourself, how do you expect to see the King of all kings who is the Creator of the universe?<\/p>\n \u201cYou will have to first traverse the trial of the grave. There, Munkar and Nakeer will interrogate and test you to see if you had brought anything illegal from the dunya. You will be kept in transit therein for a period of time. Thereafter, you will be brought to the plains of resurrection where a complete reckoning will be taken and all your actions will suddenly appear before you to be weighed. Allah Ta\u2019ala alone knows whether we will receive our book of deeds in the right hand or the left.<\/p>\n \u201cThereafter, you will have to cross the pul-siraat and eventually you will be able to see Allah Ta\u2019ala. Even this earthly body and eyes will be of no benefit. They will perish and you will receive a different set of body, eyes, brains, and strength. This body is designed for this world. Thousands of illnesses affect it and we have to seek the proper medical attention to cure them. Youth terminates and we become old. Happiness in this world is temporary and is often followed by grief. The point is that in this world various calamities and difficulties affect you.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the hereafter, they will not exist. Over there, you will be granted such youth, which will not attain old age, such strength after which there will be no weakness, such health that will not be affected by any ailments and such a life after which there will be no death.\u201d<\/p>\n The truthful informer<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe truthful informer, Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) has informed us that seeing the gracious countenance of Allah Ta\u2019ala is one of the greatest bounties of Jannah.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter the reckoning will take place, an announcement will be made that everyone should seek the refuge of that object which they had taken as a deity in this world. Some people had worshipped the moon, others the sun, fire and water. They will be instructed to seek refuge from their false deities. The Muslims, who had worshipped Allah Ta\u2019ala alone, will remain. A form will appear before them and claim: \u2018I am your deity, sustainer.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cOn seeing it the Muslims will deny and say, \u2018No, you are not our deity.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cThereafter another Being will become manifest and declare, \u2018I am your Sustainer,\u2019 upon which everyone will fall in prostration.\u201d<\/p>\n Sayyid Abdul Aziz Dabbaagh\u2019s <\/strong>\u0631\u062d\u0645\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647<\/span><\/strong> answer to an objection<\/strong><\/p>\n At this juncture, a scholarly objection is made that when the first form will appear and claim to be Allah Ta\u2019ala, why will the Muslims refute it? They had not seen Allah Ta\u2019ala before nor did they ever hear his voice. The hereafter is a place of truth. Hence, why will they then deny it and why will they immediately fall in prostration on hearing the second voice, saying, \u201cYes, YOU are our Sustainer?\u201d<\/p>\n Hadhrat Sayyid Abdul Aziz Dabbaagh \u0631\u062d\u0645\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647<\/span> has given the answer to this objection. He says that while living in the dunya, we experience the favours, bounties, mercy, kindness and compassion of Allah Ta\u2019ala. The voice of the first form will be harsh and devoid of mercy and compassion. This will be the reason for their denial.<\/p>\n A father calls for his son, who is in another room, and he answers in a cruel and harsh voice saying, \u201cYes!\u201d<\/p>\n The father thinks to himself that my son does not talk harshly to me, therefore, he could not have answered in this manner. Someone else must have answered. Similarly, the tone of the first voice will be harsh whilst the second will be filled with mercy and compassion, the like of which they had experienced in the world.<\/p>\n In the hereafter, we will see Allah Ta\u2019ala. Here in this world we do not have the ability of seeing Him. We cannot even see the sun, which is His creation, when it has reached its zenith. The strength of our eyes is very weak. We cannot see Allah Ta\u2019ala using them. We will be able to see Him using another set of eyes.<\/p>\n A gift to the beloved<\/strong><\/p>\n We have to bring within ourselves the conviction that whatever Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) has said is true.<\/p>\n \u201cWhoever recites durood on Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) from whichever part of the world, the angels convey it to Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) exactly in the manner it was read.\u201d<\/p>\n If we recite durood at the blessed grave of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), he hears it directly; this is established in a hadeeth of Baihaqi. It is also mentioned in another hadeeth,<\/p>\n \u201cWhoever recites durood on me by my grave, I can hear him and whoever reads durood upon me from afar, it is conveyed to me.\u201d<\/p>\n Therefore, we should not place our confidence and reliance on our eyes. The aspect to place our confidence in is the blessed sayings of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), whether we are able to see it or not.<\/p>\n Tonight is the night of jumu\u2019ah. Recitation of durood on jumu\u2019ah and the night of jumu\u2019ah has been emphasised upon in the hadeeth. Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) becomes extremely pleased when anyone reads durood upon him. Therefore, recite durood as much as possible. Actually, we should be continuously reciting durood. May Allah bless us with the correct taufeeq. Aameen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[110],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14302","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mawaaiz-volume-one"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14302","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14302"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14302\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14303,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14302\/revisions\/14303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
