To Proclaim YA RasoolAllah (S.A.W)

To Proclaim YA RasoolAllah (S.A.W)
1. The Ahle Sunnah Wal Jama'at believes that torecite after every
Salaah and at other times, the following verses: " As Salaatu Was
Salaamu Alaika Ya Rasoolullah" (Peace andBlessings upon you, O
Messenger of Allah), or to recite "As Alukash Shafaa'atu Ya
Rasoolullah" (I seek from you Shafaa'at 'Intercession', O Messenger of
Allah) is totally permissible .
2. The following Hadith proves that it is permissible to utter the
above-mentioned words. Ten great Scholars of Islam have certified this
Hadith Shareef. A Sahabi, who was blind by birth, was taught a special
Du'a bythe 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 Muhammadin Nabiyyir rahmati
Ya Muhammadu Inni Ata Wajjahu Bika ila Rabbi Fi Haajati 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 that it may be bestowed. O Allah, accept the Prophet's intercession
for me).
3. Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Omar (radi Allahu anhu) once suffered from a
cramp. Someone advised him 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. (Kitaabul Adaabul
Mufrad)
4. It is an established practice of the people of Medina Shareef to
proclaim "Ya Muhammadah" in timesof difficulty and anxiety. (Naseem-ur
Riyaaz)
5. A drought, which was known as "Aamur Ramadah" once, occurred during
the Caliphate of Hazrat Umar 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 fewsheep. When
he told them that there was nothing left of the sheep, they still
insisted. After the sheepwere 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.
6. 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."
7. 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 King
became furious and ordered two of thebrothers 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, who was amazed
at the piety of the young Muslim. Six months later when theywere about
to be married, the two martyred brothers amazingly appeared
accompanied by a group of Angels. When it was inquired as to how they
had survived they replied: "When you saw us being thrown into the
boilingoil, you indeed saw the truth, yet as we enteredthe 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
hasbeen shortened.
8. Our object here is to highlight how 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? 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, and the two Shuhada were
actually given permission to attend the marriage of their younger
brother accompanied by a group of Angels.
9. Hazrat Shah Wali'ullah Dehlwi (radi Allahu anhu) states: "I cannot
perceive anyone besides the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) who, for the depressed person at times of calamities, will
forwarda helping hand." (Ateebul Ghanum fi Madh-e-Sayyadal Arabi Wal
Ajam)
10. Hazrat Shah Wali'ullahDehlwi (radi Allahu anhu) explains: In the
august court of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) one
should consider oneself insignificant and inferior. With a broken
heart and withtotal sincerity, one should call to the Prophet (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam) in Du'a. The person will indeed attain
salvation if he states: "O Rasool of Allah! O Unique among the
Creation! I seek your favour on the Day of Justice. On that Day when
there will be a great test, only you, O Prophet of Allah, would give
security from all calamities! I have turned to you forsalvation and
have mytrust in you." (Madhiyaa Hamziya)
11. More than 40 great Scholars and Saints also believed that it is
permissible to call out to great Saints and Prophets for assistance.
Among them being Hazrat Uthman bin Haneef (radi Allahu anhu), Hazrat
Abdullah ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu), Imaam Bukhari (radi Allahu
anhu) , Imaam Muslim (radi Allahu anhu) , Imaam Tabraani (radi Allahu
anhu) , Imaam ibn Jouzi (radi Allahu anhu) , Ghousal A'zam, Syed Abdul
Qaadir Jilaani (radi Allahu anhu) , Imaam Jalalludeen Suyutwi (radi
Allahu anhu) , Imaam Abdul Wahab Sha'raani (radi Allahu anhu) ,
Sayyedi AhmedKabeer-e-Awliya Badawi (radi Allahu anhu) , Shah
Wali'ullahDehlwi (radi Allahu anhu) , etc.
12. The most beautiful proof of calling to the Prophet (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam) is in the Attahiyaat, wherein every worshipper
salutes and calls unto the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) . If
by using the Nida, causes one to be guilty of Shirk, then how is it
that it is found in the Salaah?
13. Some individuals statethat, one does not have the intention of
calling to the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in the
Attahiyaat, rather one is merely conveying a message. This opinion is
without basis. Therefore, when we are reciting the Attahiyaat, we
should not possess this belief,rather we should believe that we are
directly addressing the Holy Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) and
sending Salaams to him, upon oneself and upon all the piousof the
Ummah.
14. It is recorded in the books , "Tanweerul Absaar" and "Sharah Durre
Mukhtaar" that: "The intention which one must possess at the time of
reciting the Tashahud is the concentration on the meaning of this,
that is, in other words, onemust remember that one is sending Salaams
upon the HolyProphet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and that one is
praising Allah Almighty. One must be assured of thefact that one is
sending Salaams and not merely relaying a message."
15. Allama Hasan Sharanbulaani (radi Allahu anhu) , in his book,
"Maraqi-ul-Falah", states: "Numerous Ulema have in fact clarified this
belief. There are some misled individuals who profess that because
Angels are deputized to convey the Salaams to the Holy Prophet (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam), one shouldnot use the Harf-e-Nidaa. What these
enlightened individuals have forgotten is that twicedaily the deeds of
the Ummati are placed in front of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam). In many authentic Ahadith, it is quite clearly
stated that all deeds of the individual are placed in front of the
Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), the deceased family and
the deceased parents."
16. Hazrat Imaam Abdullah ibn Mubarruk (radi Allahu anhu) , narrated
by Hazrat Sa'eed ibn Musayyib (radi Allahu anhu) , who states: "Not a
day or night passes by, without thedeeds of the Ummati are being
placed in front of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
Therefore the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) recognizes
his followers in two ways,firstly by their Alamat (signs) and secondly
by their Amaal (deeds)."

The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) is the Teacher of the Entire Creation

The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) is the Teacher of the Entire Creation
1. To believe that the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)
learnt or sought knowledge from any creation is a false belief.
2. According to the Ahle Sunnah Wal Jama'at, the Holy Prophet (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam) is the teacher of the entire universe.
3. The following verse proves that the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam) was sent to teach the entiremankind. Allah Ta'ala
says in the Holy Quran: "O our Lord, Send to them a Messenger from
among themselves, so that he may recite to them Your signs and teach
them Your book and wise knowledge and purify them well. Surely, You
are Alone the Predominant, the Wise." (Part 1, Ruku 15)
4. The Holy Quran says: "And Allah taught you that which you did
notknow and great is the grace of Allah upon you." (Part 5, ruku 14)
This verse again provesthat the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) was not taught by any creation.
5. The Holy Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) is the teacher of
the entire universe and Allah Ta'ala has taught every language to the
Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
6. The Holy Quran says: "And we have sent each Messenger in the
language of His own people that He may tellthem clearly." (Part 13,
Ruku 13) In connectionwith this verse, Hazrat Allama Sulaiman (radi
Allahu anhu) states: "And the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) used to converse with every nation their language." (Tafseer
Jaml)
7. Sheikh Mohiyuddeen ibn Arabi (radi Allahu anhu) said, "There is
noperson on this earth that have not acquiredfrom the Holy Prophet
(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) be it Ambiyaor Awliyah, be he of this
Shari'ah or of the past Shari'ah."

To Seek the Wasila of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W)

To Seek the Wasila of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W)
1. Some persons believe that it is not permissible to seek a Wasila
(mediation) when making Du'a to Allah Ta'ala. They say that you should
make Du'a directly to Almighty Allah.
2. The Aqeeda of the Ahle Sunnah wal Jama'at is that to seek the
mediation of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is permissible
or allowed by the Shari'ah.
3. The following verse proves that one can seek a Wasila when
approaching Allah Ta'ala. Allah Ta'ala states in the Holy Quran : "O
ye who believe! Fear Allah and search for a Wasila (mediation) towards
Him and strive in His path on that hope that you will gain refuge."
(Part 6, Ruku 10)
4. The following verse proves that one can seek a Wasila by
approaching the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Allah
Ta'ala states in the Holy Quran: "And if when they do injustice unto
their souls, then O Beloved! They should come to you and then beg
forgiveness from Allah, and the Messenger should intercede for them,
then surely, they wouldfind Allah most Relenting, Merciful." (Part 5,
Ruku 7)
5. Hazrat Abdullah ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) states that when the
Jews wished to gain victory over their enemies they would make this
Du'a: "O Allah!We ask to you through the mediation of the unlettered
Prophet thatYou may grant us victory over those Polytheists." (Tafseer
Durre Manthur)
6. Hazrat Imam ibn Jureer Tibri (radi Allahu anhu) writes that the
Jews also made this Du'a : "O Allah! Send down that aProphet who will
make justice between us and the people and those people used to gain
victory and help against the others through his mediation." (Tafseer
ibn Jareer)
7. Hadrat Uthman bin Haniff (radi Allahu anhu) says that a blind man
came to the court of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)
and said , "O Messenger of Allah! Pray for me that I may regain my
sight." The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said ,"Go and
perform ablution and read two Raka'ats of Nafil Salaah and read this
Du'a: 'O Allah! Verily I ask of Youand towards You I use the mediation
of Nabi-e-Rahmat, Muhammad Mustapha (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). O
Muhammad! Verily I turn through your Wasila to Your Creator for my
needs so that myneeds may be fulfilled. O Allah, accept the
intercession of Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) for me". (Ibn
Maja; Shifa Shareef)
8. With regards to this Hadith Shareef about the blind man being asked
to make Du'a with the Wasila of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) , Hazrat Allama Abdul Ghani Delhwi (radi Allahu anhu) says,
"It proves the permissibility of mediation and that of the Prophet's
(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) intercession. This command is that
duringhis life, but also after his demise." (Misbahus Zijaja Bar
Hashia ibn Maja) Thus, one is allowed to seek the Wasila of the Holy
Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) even after his demise.
9. When Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) ate from the forbidden tree, he
made Du'a to Allah Ta'ala through themediation of the Holy Prophet
(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in this way: "O Allah! Forgive me with
the Wasila of Muhammad Mustapha (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)."
(Tibraani; Muwahibul Ladaniyah)
10. The Ambiya are Wasilas (mediators) for their Ummah in every form
and the Wasila of the Ambiya is the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam). Hence, the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) is the Wasila of all mediations, even the Wasila for Hadrat
Adam (alaihis salaam). (Tafseer Saadi)
11. Hazrat Aisha Siddiqa (radi Allahu anha) saysthat the Holy Prophet
(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said, "O Allah! Grant Islam respect
through Umar ibn Khatab." (Ibn Majah)
12. The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said :"Abdaals
will be in Syria. They are forty men. When one of them passes away,
then Allah Ta'ala puts another in his place. Through their blessings
it rains. Through them victory is gained over enemies and through
their blessings punishment is moved away from the people of Syria."
(Mishkaat; Ash'atul Lam'aat)
13. Hazrat Umar Farouk (radi Allahu anhu) senttroops towards Kasra and
he made Hazrat Sa'ad bin Ka'ab Waqqas (radi Allahu anhu) the commander
of the troop. Hazrat Khalid bin Walid (radi Allahu anhu) was the chief
commanding officer. When they came close to the Dajla, there were no
ships or boats to cross the river. Hazrat Khalid bin Walid (radi
Allahu anhu) and Hadrat Sa'ad bin Ka'ab (radi Allahu anhu) went
forward and spoke to the river, saying: "O River! You are flowing
through the Command of Almighty Allah. Thus, we are giving you the
Wasila of the justice ofRasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and the
Khalifa of Rasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), Hazrat Umar Farouk
(radi Allahu anhu). Do not become a stoppage between us and our
crossing." Suddenly, the river gave way. Then the troops crossed the
river with their horses and camels. They reached the other side of the
land in such a manner that their (horses and camels) hooves did not
even get wet. (Ar Riyaadhun Nadhra)
14. In the above narrations one sees that the Sahaba-Ikraam used
various forms of mediation as solutions to their problems.
15. Hazrat Abdul Haq Muhadith Delhwi (radi Allahu anhu) writes the
following: "According to the Ijmaof the Ulema, to use the Wasila of
the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) to gain assistance
both with verbally or physically is said to be confirmed to be
desirable." (Jazbul Quloob)

Knowledge of Unseen

Some people do not accept that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) has
been blessed by Allah (S.W.T) with Ilm-e -Ghayb (Knowledge of the
Unseen).
The Ahle Sunnah Wal Jamaat believes that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) ,
afterbeing informed by Allah (S.W.T) , is aware of everything that
happened and will happen. "Ghayb" is that hidden thing which cannot be
perceived by human senses nor can be known through human wisdom.
The Holy Quran has mentioned at various places that Allah (S.W.T) has
granted the Knowledge of Unseen to His exalted Prophets. (See Surah
Baqarah Part 1, Ayah 31; Surah Baqarah Part 1, Ayah 251; Surah Naml
Part 19, Ayah 16; Surah Ambiya Part 17, Ayah 74; Surah Yusuf Part 12,
Ayah 68; Surah Yusuf Part 12, Ayah 96; Surah Qasas Part 20, Ayah14)
The fact that Allah (S.W.T) has granted Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) the
Knowledge of Unseen, can be explained in three dimensions:
1) Firstly, he was given the Knowledge of the Unseen directly: (Surah
Hud Part 12, Ayah 49) "These are the news of the unseen, We (Allah)
reveal to you. Neither you did know it before, nor your people. Have
patience. Surely, there is good end for thepious." (This is also
referred toin Surah Yusuf Part 12 Ayah102 and Surah Tukweer Part 30,
Ayah24) .
2) He was given the Quran, which is the treasure house of the
Knowledge of the Unseen : "O people of the Book surely, Our (Allah's)
this Rasool (Messenger Muhammad (S.A.W) ) has come to you who makes
clear to you much of what you had hidden about the Book and he pardons
you much. Surely there has come to you from Allah aNoor (light of
enlightenment) and a very clear book"
(Surah Maidah Part 6, Ayah 15; See Also Surah Nahl Part 14, Ayah89;
SurahYusuf Part 12, Ayah 111;Surah Al -Inaam Part 7 Ayah 38; Surah
Naml Part 19, Ayah 75)
3) He was sent as a witness. A witness can only be that person who is
present at the place and time of happening and sees everything by
himself. "Surely, We (Allah) have sent you as a Witness and a Bearer
of good news and a Warner." (Surah Fath Part 26, Ayah 8; Surah Nisa
Part 5, Ayah 41)
These verses prove that Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) will stand witness on
the Day of Judgement. He will not only bear witness for his own Ummah
but also forthe Ummah of other Prophets.
And, finally, what can be hidden from the person who could see Allah
(S.W.T) ! The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) says: "I saw Allah the Almighty.
Allah (S.W.T) put His Hand at my back and I felt it's coolness in my
chest. That very moment, everything became known to Me and I
recognised everything." (Tirmidi; Mishkat)
From the evidence above, it is quite clear that our Beloved Prophet
(S.A.W) has been bestowed with the knowledge of Unseen.
Within a period of approximately 1500 years, from the time it was
proclaimed by Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) , Islam has encountered an
infinite amount of tribulations. In spite of these scathingattacks
against our beloved Deen, never once was it tarnished or disrupted
because, Alhamdulillah, it is Allah (S.W.T) Himself who is the
Protector and Helper of it. He (S.W.T) states in the Holy Quran;
"Surely, We (Allah) have revealed this remembrance (Quran) and We
(Allah) are surely its guardian". (Surah Hajr, V9)
Mischief varying in nature, e.g. the fitna of Yazeed, the scourge of
Hajjaj ibn Yusuf, the deception of the Khaarijees etc., had previously
unsuccessfullytried to demolish the foundations of Islam, butthe most
formidable fitna this Deen had yet to face was the Wahabism of Najdis.
It is stated in a Hadith that our Beloved Prophet (S.A.W) has said,"In
the period prior to the Day of Judgement, false and deceitful groups
will emerge. They will say things to you, which neither you nor your
forefathers willhave heard before. Stay away from these deceitful
people and do not let them come near you! Do not be misguided by them
and do not let them cause strife amongst you!"
(Muslim Sharif)
The beliefs and practicesof Ahle Sunnah wal Jamaat are questioned by
other sects to be unauthentic and the seed of doubt is placed in the
minds of Muslims to encourage them to divert allegiance.
In this blessed month of Ramadan, Janathi Message aims to clearly
outline with evidence, what the Aqaid and practices of Ahle Sunnah wal
Jamaat are; from Shirk and Tauheed to proclaiming Ya Rasoolallah
(S.A.W) , from celebrating Milaad-un-Nabi (S.A.W) to reading Darood
Shareef before and after Azaan.
We intend to make you aware of some of the main deviated sects that
are present in our time and what beliefs they hold. We will clearly
highlight and expose theblasphemous beliefs held by these misguided
sects.
The biggest threat to Islam these days is from the Wahhaabi, Deobandi,
Tablighi and Salafi sects. This threat to an average Muslim is not
obvious at all. These days they want to call themselves Sunnis to
deceive innocent Muslims.
The physical appearanceof these renegades may deceive one as they
decorate their deceitful faces with the Sunnah ofthe beard and perform
compulsory acts such as Salaat, in a most convincing manner. However,
their corrupt beliefs prove that they have no love for the Beloved
Prophet (S.A.W) .
Other deviant sects such as the Shia's and Qadiani's have also
continued to propagate their deviant idiologies which have no Islamic
base. From blasphemous statements against Sahaba e Iqraam (R.A) , to
believe the existence of another Prophet are proven to contradict true
Aqaid.
Our purpose in preparing these topics isto present the truth based on
authentic evidence. We don't wantto expose the differences with view
to cause segregation in theUmmah, but rather to invite all to the true
teachings of Islam with aim of following the correct Aqaid and
practices of our beautiful Deen.
