She thinks that the jinn are stealing from her house

I am a Muslim woman living in Europe. I have been living in my home
for a year. Few months ago I noticed that some things are disappearing
from my home. Initially I did not care about it. Butsomething returned
after it disappeared, I have been looking for this thing for three
months in the same place where I found it eventually. I became really
frightened and started to remember all things that disappeared before.
My heart is full offear and doubt. Are there devils or something in
this house?I pray regularly and readQuran daily, Alhamdulillah. I may
neglect the daily adhkaar sometimes but now I am Alhamdulillah regular
in saying them. I still fear for myself and family. Shall I leave this
home or not? I cannot tolerate living here anymore, I am really tired,
please help me.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
You have done well to pray regularly and reciteQur'aan daily, because
these are among the best of deeds and meansof protection against
destructive and harmful things. We ask Allaah to protect you and give
youwell being in your religious and worldly affairs.
Secondly:
If you are certain that some things have disappeared from your house,
and that no one who lives with you has taken something for some
reason, and that has happened repeatedly, then it is not unlikely that
that was done by the jinn, because there are good and bad among them,
and there are some who steal for themselves or for others. But the
remedy for that is simple, praise be to Allaah. If you mention the
name of Allaah whenyou put something down, and you say the name of
Allaah when you enter the house, andwhen you shut the door,then the
jinn will have no way of entering your house or taking any of your
things.
Muslim (2018) narrated from Jaabir ibn 'Abd-Allaah (may Allaah be
pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) say: "When a man enters his house, and mentions
Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, when he enters and when he
eats, the shaytaan says: 'You have no place to stay and no dinner.'
But if he enters and does not mention Allaah when he enters, the
shaytaan says, 'You have found a place to stay.' And if he does not
mention Allaah when he eats, he says: 'You have found a place to stay
and dinner.'"
And Muslim (2012) narrated from Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him
that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said: "Cover vessels, tie up waterskins, close doors and
extinguish lamps, for the shaytaan does not undo waterskins or open
doors or uncover vessels.If one of you cannot findanything but a stick
to place over his vessels, or to mention the name of Allaah, let him
do so…"
Al-Bukhaari (3280) narrated it with the wording: "Shut your door and
mention the name of Allaah; extinguish your lamps and mention the name
of Allaah; tie up your waterskins and mention the name of Allaah;
cover your vessels and mention the name of Allaah, even if you just
place something on top of it."
Based on this, if you shutthe door and mention the name of Allaah, and
you put your things in a box, for example, and say the name of Allaah,
then they will be protected, in sha Allaah, because the shaytaan
cannot upon a door or uncover a vessel.
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, concerning
the lessons learned from the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah and his
conversation with the jinni who was stealing from the zakaah dates:
The jinn eat human food, and they speak human words, and they steal
and cheat. It also points to the virtue of Aayat al-Kursiy and the
virtue of the last verses of Soorat al-Baqarah, and tells us that the
jinn can get food over which the name of Allaah has not been
mentioned. End quote.
If you take these means, but you still do not feel comfortable staying
in the house, then it is better to look for another house. Abu Dawood
(3942) narratedthat Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him)
said: A man said: O Messenger of Allaah, we lived in a house and we
were great in number and wealthy, then we movedto another house where
our numbers and our wealth grew less. The Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Leave it for it is bad."
Classed as hasan byal-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.

Sultan ul Arifin Hazrat Sultan Bahu (R.A) - Sufism Biographies

HU is within, HU is without, HU always reverberates in my heart.
The would in my heart aches constantly
With the un-abating pain of HU's love.
The darkness of ignorance departs
From the heart lit by HU (God Allah)
I sacrifice myself to the one, O Bahu,
Who has realized the significance of HU.
God is within you, say allmasters and saints
During the reign of Mughal king Shah Jehan,Bazid Muhammad was one of
his important officials. He was not onlyHafiz-e-Quran but also a great
scholar and was very much respected even by the king. He married to a
very religious women of his own family namely Rasti Bibi.
Shah Jehan appointed him the official (magistrate) of Kohistan and
after sometime he was sent to Multan. This area was very much liked by
him and he refused the king to go back to Kohistan, as the king
regarded him very much, he did not stress him to leave Multan. Shah
Jehan gave a village namely Kehar Gan. After sometime Hazrat Bazid
shifted to Shorkot permanently.
Rasti Bibi was very religious women and it was due to her religious
personality that Hazrat Bazid's life also changed.Rasti Bibi was such
a pious lady that she offered her "Tahjad" prayer even on that morning
Hazrat Sultan Bahu was born. She had great place in spirituality.
Hazrat Sultan Bahu cameinto this world in 1039 AH 1629 AD. He
belongedto Awan family. Awans are the descendents of Hazrat Qutab Shah
who was the uncle of Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani. Hazrat Qutab
shah was the descendent of Hazrat Muhammad Bin Hanifia (Hazrat Ali
(RA))
Hazrat Sultan Bahu was a born saint and his name Bahu was given tohim
on the order of Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W).
Her mother educated him spiritually in his childhood and Hazrat Sultan
Bahu's face was so much attractive that many Hindus accepted Islam
just after seeing his Face. At last a group of Hindus met Hazrat Bazid
Muhammad and requested him to make aschedule, for the safety of their
religious. His father died in his childhood and his mother arranged
best teacher of his time for his education and he acquired all the
knowledge very quickly because of his extra ordinary intelligence.
Soon, he became famousas a religious scholar. Owing to his mother's
teaching, he had a great inclination towards spirituality and his
immersion was extraordinary.
He got married in his early youth and twice or thrice afterwards.
When he was thirty year of age, he had a very extraordinary vision in
which he saw Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through the spiritually
recommendations and support of Hazrat Ali(RA) and Hazrat Sheikh Abdul
Qadir Jilani. The Prophet (PBUH) himself took his bay'ah and allowed
him to pass on the sufi teaching.
He often mentioned in his books about his presence in the spiritual
meetings presided by the Prophet (S.A.W) himself. However in the
treatise of the spirit, he calls Hazrat Sheikh AbdulQadir Jilani his
Murshid . He is always lavish in thepraise of Hazrat and callshimself
Qadiri. In his eyes, the teaching of theQadiriya order were most
effective for the spiritual development bythe disciplines. But at the
same time it is evidently clear that by the Qadiriya order, he means
the one that he himself represented. He names it Sarwari Qadiri.
His mother was very pleased to hear the vision and asked him to have a
bay'ah of 'murshid'. Hazrat Sultan Bahu requested his mother to take
his bay'ah but she replied a women can take bay'ah if it was possible
then the wives of Holy Prophet (PBUH) and Hazrat Rabia Basri had also
taken a bay'ah.
So she asked Hazrat Sultan Bahu to go east wards. Finally Hazrat
Sultan Bahu met Hazrat Shah Habibullah who welcomed him very warmly
and asked aboutthe reason of his comingHazrat Sultan Bahu told
everything. After listening, he replied Hazrat Sultan Bahu that wordly
love and Faqr can't go side by side. So Hazrat Sultan Bahu cameback
home and sold most of his land and distributed the money among the
poor. When he returned to Hazrat Shah Habibullah and requested him to
take his bay'ah.
He asked him to go to Delhi, where Sheikh Abdur Rehman Qadri is
living. He will take bay'ah. So he left that place and when he reached
Delhi, a person asked him name and told him that he is the disciple of
Sheikh Abdur Rehman Qadri, he was orderd to welcome Sultan Bahu was
much astonished to hear all this and said, yes I am Sultan Bahu.
That person guided him to the residence of Sheikh Abdur Rehman took
the bay'ah of Hazrat Sultan Bahu. Hazrat Sultan Bahu was much pleased
after the bay'ah and started giving solution of people's problems.
People started visiting him and soon he becamefamous all around. He
became a hope of light for hopeless people. When Sheikh Abdul Rehman
heard this he called on Sultan Bahu and said, we did not give you all
this to distribute in such a way. Hazrat Sultan Bahu replied, I did
this because if I need more so that I can get it from you.
Secondly I know that here you are on my backand thirdly Holy prophet
(PBUH) orderd me to help the people. Then Hazrat Sheikh Abdur Rehman
gave him the permission to serve will remain forever. When hecame back
home Rasti Bibi was very much pleased to see him. He started working
on his remaining land and preaching also due to which a large number
ofpeople embraced Islam.
It is narrated that a poorbut respectable Sayed was advised by a
dervishto seek Hazrat Sultan Bahu(RA) for his materialneeds. The sayed
found Hazrat Sultan Bahu(RA) working in the fields under intense heat.
Sayed was disappointed that what can this man give him when himself
seems in want and dressed in tattered clothes. Disappointed, Sayed
decided to return to his village. As he was turning back, Hazrat
Sultan Bahu(RA) called Sayed Sahib, why are you turning back speak
what do you see? Sayed narrated his material needs to the Saint.
Hazrat Sultan Bahu(RA) asked Sayed to excuse him while he attended the
call of nature. After returning, the Saint threw the stone with which
he dried himself in anger at the direction of the Sayed .
Wherever the stone made contact with the clay ground wher they were
standing turned into gold ingots. Sayed was told to take the goldfor
his needs and depart immediately so that nobody could be aware of what
had taken place.It is said that this gold in the form of jewellery is
still extent in the same family for several generation.
Once Hazrat Sultan Bahu(RA) was accompanied by his attendant Sultan
Naurang Khatran (RA) a dervish who was blessedwith spiritual light by
the Saint himself when they approached the vicinity of kellar Keha,
the approach of the month of Ramazan had been heralded in by the
drumbeat of a caller form nearby village. Hazrat Sultan Bahu(RA) spent
the entire month of Ramazan meditating in an isolated cave in
themountains nrearby. Drowned in the ocean ofmercy and remembrancethe
entire month of Ramazan passed with out the intake of food on the part
of the saint.
The dervish who accompanied the Saint had received daily his food for
Sehri and Iftaar miraculously by a deer which used to appear with the
food tied on its horns. This happening has been put into verse by
Hazrat Naurang Khatran (RA) the attendat himself.
He said:
Strange and wonderous,my sight did witness.
Spectacle of Bahu,
Load of lover; carried on horns of a deer.
At the approach of Eid, a call was heard from the nearby village
announcing the end of Ramazan. Disturbed by the sound of drumbeats
from the village, Hazrat Sultan Bahu(RA) raised his head from the
meditation and enquired his attendant as to what all the noise was
about. Sultan Naurang Khatran (RA) replied Hazrat the Eid moon has
been sited and you in a state of intoxication and annihilation in the
remembrance of Allah for the entire month. The Saint exclaimed: What
about my fast, salaam and taravee for the month or Ramazan. It is
narrated by his attendant that despite having being in a state of
intoxication in the remembrance of Allah, Hazrat Sultan Bahu(RA)
performed all his Qaza fasts and Salaats. This is the state of the
true friends of Allah that theydo not even for one moment leave aside
the Sunna of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) or any other obligatory commands
of the Shari'a. it is said that thisepisode of cave is the only one
time that Hazrat Sultan Bahu(RA) had been in a state of intoxication,
otherwise his entire life had been spent in a state of sobriety, so
much so thathe did not miss even a single Mustahab act of the Shari's.
Hazrat SultanBahu(RA) completed his Qaza fasts and Salaats. It is
narrated that thereafter the Saint gavespiritual attention to thedeer
and it expired.
A grave was dug and thedeer was buried near the cave in which the
saint had passed his month of Ramazan. My grand Sheikh, Hazrat Faqir
Noor Muhammad Sarwari Qaderi (RA), visited this place and reported
that even today one can feel the spiritual light, radiance, brilliance
and luminous vibration energy in the cave and surrounding area.
It has such a magnetic effect on the visitor that any sincere seeker
sitting in the cave in the remembrance of Allah experience a state of
illumination.

Why The Prophet peace be upon him cannot be Allah's Noor?

Allah's noor can never beparted in any case. If some one believes that
he sallallahu alaihi wasallam was a part of Allah's noor he is really
amushrik. However he sallallahu alaihi wasallam was from the noor
Allah Almighty in such a way that no part of Allah's noor
separatedfrom the noor of Allah Almighty. It can be understood by an
example that if we put a mirror in the direction of Sun so its
reflection will appear in the mirrorand no part of the sun will
separate from it or itcan be understand by the example that if we
kindle a lamp by anotherburning lamp likewise if we kindle hundreds of
lamps no light decreases from the first lamp but the all other lamps
also be kindled. Likewise wasthe example of our beloved Prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam, when the eternal noor of Allah Taala came
on the mirror of edam (nothing) the first creation which came into
being was our holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam in a manner no
light separated from the eternal light of Allah Almighty.
Here I write down some proofs that our Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam was not only a bashar but he was a noor too. These examples
have been written in order to makeit easy to understand otherwise
Allah Almightyis beyond the examples.
Hazrat Ibn-e-Abbas (Allahis well pleased with him)cousin of the holly
prophet (Allah's Grace and Peace be upon Him) says in the commentary
of the verse 35 from chapter 24: Sura Noor."The similitude of the Noor
(Light) of Allah is Noor (light) of the Holy Prophet (Allah's Grace
and Peace be upon Him),when he was in the backs of ancestors".
(Tafseer-e-Ibne Abbas page 372)
Now I am giving you the names of the books in which this hadith has
been narrated. Allama Ibne Hagar hatiami wrote in his book that the
hadith,"Undoubtedly Allah Almighty created the"Noor of Prophet
Muhammad (Allah's grace and Peace be upon Him) before every thing",
has been narrated by Imam Abdur Razzaq in his book of hadith (Fatawa
-e- Hadithia, page 289) There are many other great ulmas who have
narrated this hadith in their books , I am writing for you the names
of few books with their writers
1. Allama Hassan -bin- Muhammad Diyar Becri,"Tarekh -ul- Khamees".
2. Shah Abdul Haq Muhaddith Dehlvi,"Madarig-un-Nabuwwah" Vol 2, page 2
3. Allama Zarqani,"Sherha Movahib", vol. 1,page 55
4. Allama Abdul Ghani, " Al Hadiqa tul Ndiyah", Vol. 2, page 375

The Permissibility of Proclaiming Ya RASOOLALLH

Question: What is the ruling of the Ulema of Islam on the following matter?
Zaid, who is a Muslim and believes in Almighty Allah and the
Prophethood of his beloved Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam),
recites after
every Salaah and at other times, the following verses:As Salaatu Was
Salaamu Alaika Ya Rasoolullah -"Peace and Blessings upon you, O
Messenger of Allah."Or As Alukash Shafaa'atu Ya Rasoolullah - "I seek
from you Shafaa'at (Intercession), O Messenger of Allah." I ask the
learned Scholars of Islam:
(1) Are such calls to the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)
permitted in Islam?
(2) What is the ruling of the Learned Scholars concerning individuals
who refer to those who call to the Prophets and Saints as Kaafirs and
Mushriks?
Please enlighten us on this. We pray that you enjoy the mercy of Allah
on the Day of Judgement. Aameen.
Answer:
Alhamudullilahi wa Kafaa Was Salaatu Was Salaamu alaa Habeebihil
Mustafa wa Aalihi Wa Ashaabihi Oolis Sidqi Was Safaa
The utterance of the above words are indeed permitted and no
personother than those who are misled would argue with it. For
reference on this matter, we shall consult the following great Jurists
of Islam andtheir books:
A. "Shifa-us-Siqaam", by Imaam Taqi'udeen Abul Hasan Subki (radi Allahu anhu),
B. "Mawaahibbe Ladunnia", by Imaam Ahmed Qastalaani (radi Allahuanhu),
being the Sharah (Commentary) of Sahih-ul-Bukhari,
C. "Sharah of the Muwaahibbe Laddunnia", by Allama Zarqaani (radi Allahu anhu),
D. "Mutaali-ul-Mussarraat" by ImaamAllama Faasi (radi Allahu anhu),
E. "Sharah of Mishkaat", by Allama Mulla Ali Qaari (radi Allahuanhu),
E. "Ashatul Lamaat", including the books,"Jazbul Quloob"and"Madaarijun
Nubuwat", by Shaikh Muhaqqiq Allama Abdul Haq Muhaddis Dehlwi (radi
Allahu anhu),
G. "Afdalul Qur'a", which is the "Sharah of Ummul Qur'a" by Imaam ibn
Hajar Makki (radi Allahu anhu).
I will now quote a Hadith, proving that it is permissible to utter the
above mentioned words.This Hadith has been certified authentic by the
following great Scholars of Islam:
A. Imaam Nisaai (radi Allahu anhu),
B. Imaam Tirmidhi (radi Allahu anhu),
C. Imaam ibn Maaja (radiAllahu anhu),
D. Imaam Haakim (radi Allahu anhu),
E. Imaam Baihaqi (radi Allahu anhu),
F. Imaam ibn Hazeema (radi Allahu anhu),
G. Imaam Abul Qasim Tabraani (radi Allahu anhu),
H. Imaam Manzari (radi Allahu anhu),
I. Imaam Muslim (radi Allahu anhu),
J. Imaam Bukhari (radi Allahu anhu).
(1) All the above mentioned Scholars of Ahadith, narrate on the
authority of Hazrat Uthman bin Haneef (radiAllahu anhu), that a Sahabi
who was blind bybirth was taught a special Du'a by the Holy Prophet
(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), which he was to recite after every
Salaah.
The Du'a is as follows: Allahumma Inni As Aluka Wa Ata Wajjahu Ilaika
Binabiyika MuhammadinNabiyyir rahmati Ya Muhammadu Inni Ata Wajjahu
Bika ila Rabbi FiHaajati haazihi lituqda li.Allahumma Fashaf'fi'u
Fiya. "O Allah, I ask from you, and turn towards you through the
Wasila (Medium) of Your Nabi Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam),
who is indeed a Prophet of Mercy. O Muhammad, with your Wasila
(Medium) I turn towards Allah for my need so thatit may be bestowed.
O Allah, accept the Prophet's intercession for me."
(2) Imaam Tabraani (radiAllahu anhu), in his"Muhjam" records the
following incident:
A person in dire need visited Ameerul Mu'mineen Hazrat Uthman Ghani
(radi Allahanhu). The Caliph was busy with some other work and he did
not attend to his need. Thereafter, the person went to Hazrat Uthman
bin Haneef (radi Allahu anhu) and complained about the matter. Hazrat
Uthman bin Haneef (radiAllahu anhu) ordered the man to perform the
Wudhu (ablution), enter the musjid and to offer two Rakaats of Nafil
Salaah. He was then to recite the following Du'a:Allahumma Inni As
Aluka Wa Ata Wajjahu Ilaika Binabiyina Nabiyyir rahmati Ya Muhammadu
Inni Ata Wajjahu Bika ila Rabbi Fayadiha Haajati wa tazkuru haajataka
wa ruh illaya hatta arooha
ma'aka. "O Allah, I beg ofyou and I seek your assistance, with the
Wasila (Medium) of your beloved Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)
who is the Prophet of Mercy. O Muhammad! I turn to Allah with your
Wasila so that my needs be fulfilled."
Thereafter, he was told to mention his need. On completion, he was
told to visit Hazrat Uthman bin Haneef (radi Allahu anhu), so that
both could visit the august court of Hazrat Uthman Ghani (radi Allahu
anhu).When he presented himself in front of the great Caliph, he was
not only shown great respect, but his need and wish were also
immediately granted. The Caliph, then addressing the man stated: "In
future if you require any favour, come immediately to me."
After they had left the court of the great Caliph,the man thanked
Hazrat Uthman bin Haneef (radiAllahu anhu) for mentioning him to the
Caliph, the latter clearly stated that he had not even approached the
Caliph. He then stated:"By Allah, I saw the Holy Prophet (sallallaahu
alaihi wasallam) teaching the very same Du'a to a blind man.
Miraculously, the blind man then approached usbefore we could even
complete our conversation, and it appeared as if he had never been
blind."
Imaam Tabraani and Imaam Munzari (radi Allahu anhuma) have both stated
that this Hadith is authentic.
(3) Imaam Bukhari (radi Allahu anhu) in his"Kitaabul Adaabul Mufrad",
Imaam Ibnus Sinni and Imaam ibn Bashkool (radi Allahu anhuma) have
recorded that, Hazrat Abdullah IbnOmar (radi Allahu anhu) once
suffered from a cramp. Someone advisedhim to remember the person whom
he loved the most. The great companion then proclaimed loudly, "Ya
Muhammadah." It is recorded that he was immediately relieved.
(4) Imaam Nawawi (radi Allahu anhu) in his commentary of the Sahih
Muslim, including in his book, "Kitaabul Azkaar", records that some
individuals were sitting in the company ofHazrat Abdullah ibn Abbas
(radi Allahu anhu),when suddenly one of them suffered from cramps. The
great companion advised the man to remember the person whom he loved
the most. The man proclaimed, "Ya Muhammadah." He was immediately
cured. There are in fact many Ashbaab who narrate incidents of similar
incident.
(5) Substantiating this, Allama Shahaab KhafaajiMisri (radi Allahu
anhu) states in his "Naseem-ur Riyaaz" a commentary ofthe "Shifa" by
Imaam Qaadi Ayaaz (radi Allahu anhu), that it is an established
practice of the people of Medina Shareef to proclaim "Ya Muhammadah"
in times of difficulty and anxiety.
(6) Hazrat Bilal bin Al Haarith Muzani (radi Allahu anhu) states: A
drought which was known as "Aamur Ramadah" once occurred during the
Caliphate of Hazrat UmarAl Farouk (radi Allahu anhu). His tribe the
Bani Muzaina approached him and complained that they were dying of
hunger, and thus requested the Caliph to sacrifice a few sheep. When
he told them that there was nothing left ofthe sheep, they still
insisted. After the sheep were cut and cleaned they noticed that only
red bones were to be seen. Hazrat Bilal (radi Allahu anhu), seeing
this state of affairs, proclaimed loudly, "Ya Muhammadah", in grief
and concern.
He was then blessed with seeing the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) in his dream, who informed him of future glad tidings which
did occur later on.
(7) Imaam-e-Mujtahid Sayyidi Abdur Rahman Huzaili Kufi Masoodi (radi
Allahu anhu), was the grandson of Hazrat Abdullah ibn Masood (radi
Allahu anhu). He was also a very great Jurist and a Taabi'in of high
rank. It is stated that he used to wear a long hat with the inscribed
words,"Muhammad, Ya Mansoor."
(8) This was also confirmed by Imam Hasheem bin Jameel Az Zaaki (radi
Allahu anhu) who was among the great Ulema and Muhadditheen of the
time states: "I saw him (ie, Hazrat Abdur Rahman Masoodi) place a long
hat on his head, with the words inscribed, 'Muhammad, Ya Mansoor'."
(9) It is recorded in the Fatawa of Hazrat Imaam,Shaikul Islam,
Shahaab Ramli Ansaari whether it was permissible for the people to
invoke the names of Prophets, Saints and Ulema in times of difficulty
as theynormally did. The great scholar replied:"Undoubtedly it is
permissible to seek the assistance of great Prophets, Saints and
Ulema. They do in fact assist, even after they have departed from this
world."
(10) Imaam Allama Khairudeen Ramli (radi Allahu anhu), the illustrious
teacher of the scholar who has written the authentic book on Islamic
Jurisprudence,"Durre Mukhtaar", states in his "Fatawa Khayria":"People
who proclaim, Ya Sheikh Abdul Qaadir (are merely emulating) acall,
what, therefore, is the reason for it, not to be
permissible?"
(11) Sayyidi Jamal bin Abdullah bin Omar Makki(radi Allahu anhu), in
his Fatawa states that he was questioned about those people who
proclaim in times of difficulty, "Ya Rasoolullah, Ya Ali, Ya Sheikh
Abdul Qaadir" as to these proclamations being permissible in Islam.
The great scholar replied: "Yes, these proclamations are permissible,
to call to them is permissible including using their names as Wasilas.
This is permissible in the light of the Shari'ah. Such an act is
desirable and approved. Only those individuals who are stubborn and
arrogant would oppose or question this reality, andthey certainly are
unfortunate and deprived of the Barakaat(blessing) of the Awliya
Allah."
(12) Imaan ibn Jouzi (radi Allahu anhu), In his book, "Oyunil
Hikaayat", narrates a strange and amazing incident of three brothers
who were constantly engaged in Jihad (Holy Islamic War). He narrates:
Once, while engaged in Jihad with the Christians of Rome, they were
captured and tortured. The King informed them that if they adopted the
religion of Christianity he would set them free. The brothers refused
to do so. Instead they all proclaimed aloud, "Ya Muhammadah." The
Kingbecame furious and ordered two of the brothers to be thrown into
boiling oil. After a while, the youngest escaped from the clutches of
his capturers accompanied by the daughter of the King, whom herself
was amazed at the piety of the young Muslim.
Six months later when they were about to be married, the two martyred
brothers amazingly appeared accompanied by a groupof Angels. When it
was inquired as to how they had survived they replied: "When you saw
us being thrown into theboiling oil, you indeed saw the truth, yet as
we entered the pot, we entered into the high stages of Jannah."
Imam ibn Jouzi (radi Allahu anhu) states that the brothers lived in
Syria and were extremely famous. Many couplets have been written in
their praise. This incident has been shortened.
Our object is to highlighthow beneficial it is to call out to the Holy
Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). We have seen that the brothers
at a time of extreme perils and danger did not hesitate in calling to
the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). How were they rewarded?
Very clearly they were rewarded with such blessing that the two
Shuhada immediately entered Jannah, while the youngest brother was
saved and married the King's daughter, andthe two Shuhada were
actually given permission to attend themarriage of their younger
brother accompanied by a groupof Angels.
Where are those personswho proclaim that it is Haraam to call on great
Prophets and Saints for assistance? If they firmly believe that it is
Haraam,why have the great scholars clarified this action (of calling
to Prophet's and Saints) as permissible and extremely beneficial?
(13) Huzoor Pur-Noor, Sayiddina Ghous-e-A'zam (radi Allahu anhu),
states: "If a person in distress or hardships calls out to me, his
hardship will be eradicated. If a person uses my name as his Wasila
(medium) and pleads to Allah, his need will be fulfilled."
The great Saint then goes on to describe a Salaah, which can be
extremely beneficial. He states: "A person should perform two Rakaats
of Salaah, in every Rakaat he should recite eleven times the Sura
Faatiha and thereafter Sura Ikhlaas eleven times. After completing the
Salaah, he should recite the Durood and Salaam upon the Holy Prophet
(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), then remembering me he should proceed
eleven steps towards the direction of Baghdad invoking my name in
every step, including mentioning his need and wish. In this
manner(Allah willing) his need and wish will be granted."
(14) The above-mentioned medicant hasbeen described and mentioned by
scholars such as, Imaam Abul Hasan Ali bin Jareer, Imaam Abdullah bin
Asad Yafa'ee Makki, Shaikh Mulla Ali Qaari, Moulana Abul Ma'aali
Mohammed Muslimi Qaderi and Shaikh-e-Muhaqqiq Moulana Abdul Haq
Muhaddis Dehlwi (radi Allahu anhum) in their treaties,"Bahjatul
Asraar","Khulaasatul Mafaakhir","Nuzhatul Khaatir","Toh'fa'ee Qaderia"
and"Zubdatul Aasaar", among others. One should also remember that the
great Ulema andSaints attribute extreme authenticity to the mentioned
article.
A point to mention about Imam Abul Hasan Noorudeen Ali (radi Allahu
