Allah Subhanau tells us in His glories Quran Al-Karim: "As for the friends of Allah, surely no fear shall be upon them, nor shall they grieve". (10:62) [A-la inna awliya'a 'llahi la khawfun 'alai-him, wa la hum yahzanun] All beautiful Praises are due to Allah, who has opened for His saintly friend Hazrat Sayed Abdul Qader Gillani (RA) the paths of right guidance, and has caused all kinds of good things and favors to come about at his hands. He has blessed him the highest level of spirtuality and has made his blessed feet be on the neck of the rest of the awliya. All praises are due to Allah who has gifted us lovers of Ghousul Azam (RA) and made us love His great Wali. Allahuma Sallialla sayiduna Muhammad Wa-Allahaliee Sayiduna Muhammad Wa-Allahalee Sayiduna Ghousul Azam. Those who follow his great example will therefore be successful and guided aright. Those who seek his protection will prosper and travel safely, but if anyone shuns him or his family with rejection, he will be cut off from any favor. I praise Him with the praise of one who knows that there is no refuge from Him except toward Him. I thank Him with the thanks of one who is firmly convinced that favors [ni'am] and afflictions [niqam] alike are entirely at His disposal. I invoke blessing and peace upon our Master, Sayiduna Muhammad Mostafa (SAW), and upon his family. May they enjoy the countless benefits and gracious favors of Allah. Once the great Hazrat Sheikh Sayed Abdul Qadir Gillani (RA) was asked what he had received from the Lord of Truth ALlah, and he replied: "Knowledge ['ilm] and good manners [adab]." My dear brothers, I wish the family of Hazrat Piran Pir (RA) and everyone of you Giarween Shareef Mubarak. Wa-Salaam....

Salaamu Alikum, one more thing I want to make clear to some of the brothers who might not be familiar or comfortable with the issue of Madhhab. Since Ahl-Hamdullilah we are Ahl Sunna Wa Jamma which means sunni, those who follow the Prophet (SAW). We belong to a Madhhab of Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Shafi, Imam Malik or Imam Hanbal. These are the four great imams who made Islam easier for us common people to understand better. So we follow one of these imams to understand the Quran and hadith better. It is essential to follow a madhhab. Unlike the Wahabies who claim that it is not necessary to follow an Imam. Brother Nun Ha Mim has put the answers very beautifully and I would like to share this with you. I hope that this will answer and give a clear guidance about madhhab and it's importance. The word madhhab is derived from an Arabic word meaning "to go" or "to take as a way", and refers to a mujtahids choice in regard to a number of interpretive possibilities in deriving the rule of Allah from the primary texts of the Qur'an and hadith on a particular question. In a larger sense, a madhhab represents the entire school of thought of a particular mujtahid Imam, such as Imam Azam Abu Hanifa, Malik, Shafi'i, or Ahmad--together with many first-rank scholars that came after each of these in their respective schools, who checked their evidences and refined and upgraded their work. The mujtahid Imams were thus explainers, who operationalized the Qur'an and sunna in the specific shari'a rulings in our lives that are collectively known as fiqh or "jurisprudence". In relation to our din or "religion", this fiqh is only part of it, for the religious knowledge each of us possesses is of three types. The first type is the general knowledge of tenets of Islamic belief in the oneness of Allah, in His angels, Books, messengers, the prophethood of Muhammad (SAW), and so on. All of us may derive this knowledge directly from the Qur'an and hadith, as is also the case with a second type of knowledge, that of general Islamic ethical principles to do good, avoid evil, cooperate with others in good works, and so forth. Every Muslim can take these general principles, which form the largest and most important part of his religion, from the Qur'an and hadith. The third type of knowledge is that of the specific understanding of particular divine commands and prohibitions that make up the shari'a. Here, because of both the nature and the sheer number of the Qur'an and hadith texts involved, people differ in the scholarly capacity to understand and deduce rulings from them. But all of us have been commanded to live them in our lives, in obedience to Allah, and so Muslims are of two types, those who can do this by themselves, and they are the mujtahid Imams; and those who must do so by means of another, that is, by following a mujtahid Imam, in accordance with Allahs word in surat al-Nahl, "Ask those who recall, if you know not" (Qur'an 16:43), and in surat al-Nisa, "If they had referred it to the Messenger and to those of authority among them, then those of them whose task it is to find it out would have known the matter" (Qur'an 4:83), in which the phrase those of them whose task it is to find it out, expresses the words "alladhina yastanbitunahu minhum", referring to those possessing the capacity to draw inferences directly from the evidence, which is called in Arabic "istinbat". These and other verses and hadiths oblige the believer who is not at the level of istinbat or directly deriving rulings from the Qur'an and hadith to ask and follow someone in such rulings who is at this level. It is not difficult to see why Allah has obliged us to ask experts, for if each of us were personally responsible for evaluating all the primary texts relating to each question, a lifetime of study would hardly be enough for it, and one would either have to give up earning a living or give up ones din, which is why Allah says in surat al-Tawba, in the context of jihad: "Not all of the believers should go to fight. Of every section of them, why does not one part alone go forth, that the rest may gain knowledge of the religion and admonish their people when they return, that perhaps they may take warning" (Qur'an 9:122). The slogans we hear today about "following the Qur'an and sunna instead of following the madhhabs" are wide of the mark, for everyone agrees that we must follow the Qur'an and the sunna of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace). The point is that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) is no longer with us to personally teach us, and everything we have from him, whether the hadith or the Qur'an, has been conveyed to us through Islamic scholars. So it is not a question of whether or not to take our din from scholars, but rather, from which scholars. And this is the reason we have madhhabs in Islam: because the excellence and superiority of the scholarship of the mujtahid Imams--together with the traditional scholars who followed in each of their schools and evaluated and upgraded their work after them--have met the test of scholarly investigation and won the confidence of thinking and practicing Muslims for all the centuries of Islamic greatness. The reason why madhhabs exist, the benefit of them, past, present, and future, is that they furnish thousands of sound, knowledge-based answers to Muslims questions on how to obey Allah. Muslims have realized that to follow a madhhab means to follow a super scholar who not only had a comprehensive knowledge of the Qur'an and hadith texts relating to each issue he gave judgements on, but also lived in an age a millennium closer to the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) and his Companions, when taqwa or "godfearingness" was the norm--both of which conditions are in striking contrast to the scholarship available today. They were god fearing and did not follow their nafs. The were the true inheritors of our Rasool (SAW). They had knowledge spiritually and scholarly. While the call for a return to the Qur'an and sunna is an attractive slogan, specially by Wahabies, in reality it is a great leap backward, a call to abandon centuries of detailed, case-by-case Islamic scholarship in finding and spelling out the commands of the Qur'an and sunna, a highly sophisticated, interdisciplinary effort by mujtahids, hadith specialists, Qur'anic exegetes, lexicographers, and other masters of the Islamic legal sciences. To abandon the fruits of this research, the Islamic shari'a, for the following of contemporary wanna be sheikhs who, despite the claims, are not at the level of their predecessors, is a replacement of something tried and proven for something at best tentative. The rhetoric of following the shari'a without following a particular madhhab is like a person going down to a car dealer to buy a car, but insisting it not be any known make--neither a Volkswagen nor Rolls- Royce nor Chevrolet--but rather "a car, pure and simple". Such a person does not really know what he wants; the cars on the lot do not come like that, but only in kinds. The salesman may be forgiven a slight smile, and can only point out that sophisticated products come from sophisticated means of production, from factories with a division of labor among those who test, produce, and assemble the many parts of the finished product. It is the nature of such collective human efforts to produce something far better than any of us alone could produce from scratch, even if given a forge and tools, and fifty years, or even a thousand. And so it is with the shari'a, which is more complex than any car because it deals with the universe of human actions and a wide interpretive range of sacred texts. This is why discarding the monumental scholarship of the madhhabs in operationalizing the Qur'an and sunna in order to adopt the understanding of a contemporary sheikh is not just a mistaken opinion. It is scrapping a Mercedes for a go-cart. I hope that this helps in understanding the importance of madhhab. Shariat and understanding ones deen is the foundation of spiritualism. With out a good foundation one can not build anything. That is why Allah has always helped us by sending us great Alims and Awliya like Hazrat Sayed Abdul Qader Gillani to revive the Deen of Islam and help the Muslims back on Siratal Mustaqeem. May Allah Shower his mercy upon the Prophet (SAW) and the his family. Wa-Salaam, Mirwais Azizi

Salaam to my dear brothers and the true lovers of Allah, His Rasool (SAW) and Hazrat Faqir Sayed Mohiudeen Abdul Qader Al-Gillan Shaidatulla. Brother Nadeem Ali posts a message about Muslim unity. My dear brother Nadeem Ali. Our bless Rasool (SAW) tells us in his hadith that Muslims will become 73 groups. He also says that out of this 73 groups of Muslims only one group will go to paradise. The rest will go to hell. The group that is on the right path are the Ahle Sunna Wa Jamma. So in terms of unity this will never happen since Muslims will and have become 73 groups. There are groups of Muslims through out the world preaching about Muslim unity. In fact they are only preaching their ways. With in this group of Sunni's, we have some who are true Mutaqeen, Zakereen, sabereen, etc..ect..these are the best of the best. These are who trully have Iklas. They are the Awliya of the ummat of Rasoolullah (SAW). I can write in detail about this but, I will keep it very short due to space and time. But to answer your question about Wahabies and Deobandis and etc..ect.. and the rest of these deviant groups. Allahu ta'ala has declared in the 82 Ayat of Sura Maida in Qur'an Al-Karim, "The biggest enemies of Islam are the Jews and mushriks." The first mischief contrived to demolish Islam from within was instigated by a Jew, namely Abdullah bin Sebe' of Yaman. He established the Shiite sect against the Ahl as-sunnat, the true Muslim group. From then on, Jews disguised as Shiite scholars in every century consolidated this sect. After the Ascension of Isa alaihissalam a number of corrupt Bibles were written. Most of the Christians became mushriks (those who believe more than one god). Others became kafirs (disbelievers) since they did not believe Muhammad alaihissalam. These and the Jews were called Ahl-i kitab (people with a heavenly book). When Islam was established, hegemony of the priests as in the Dark Ages, was abolished. They founded missionary organizations to abolish Islam. The British were the forerunner in this regard. A Ministry of the Commonwealth was established in London with a view of fighting against Islam. People who worked in this Ministry were taught the Jewish tricks. Contriving inconceivably vicious plans, they attacked Islam using all available military and political forces toward this end. Thousands of male and female agents employed and sent forth to all countries by this ministry. A person named Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahab of Najd in Basra fell for this trap, the enemies of Islam misled him for many years, and caused him to establish the sect called Wahhabi in 1125 [1713 C.E.]. So what did our Rasool (SAW) warned and sayed about this group in his blessed Hadith: Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with him) reported the Prophet (Peace be upon him) as saying: "Oh Allah, bless us in our Syria; O Allah, bless us in our Yemen." Those present said: "And in our Najd, O Messenger of Allah!" But he said, "O Allah, bless us in our Syria; O Allah, bless us in our Yemen." Those present said, "And in our Najd, O Messenger of Allah!" Ibn Umar said that he thought that he said on the third occasion: "Earthquakes and fitnah are there, and there shall arise the horn of ash-Shaytaan." [Sahih al-Bukhari]. When Abu Umama saw the heads of the rebels hoisted on poles in Damascus he wept and said: "The dogs of the people of the Fire." Then he was asked: "Is this from you or from the Messenger of Allah"? He said: "From the Messenger of Allah, and I have heard him say it not once (but more), nor twice (but more), nor three times (but more)" until he reached seven times. Then he was asked about his weeping and he said: "Out of compassion for them. They used to be Muslim and they became kafir." Narrated by Tirmidhi (hasan), Ibn Majah, and Ahmad through several chains. [Sahih At-Tirmithi, Ibn Majah, Ahmad bin Hanbal] I hope this answered your questions. We should always have true love and Iklas and be on the Siratual Mustaqeem. So love and follow those whom Allah loves and Sultanual Awliya Hazrat Sayed Faqeer Muhiudeen Abdul Qader Gillani is one of them. Wa-Salaam Mirwais Azizi

Assalam-O-Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah, Dear Brother Nadeem Ali, I have seen a book written by the founder of Wahabism (Mohammed Ibn Abdulwahhab Najdi) named as Hadyatul-Wahhabiyya in Saudi Arabia. His brother Sulayman bin Abdulwahhab than wrote a book against his beliefs, named as Addarsu-ssunniah-Radde-Alalwahhabiyya. I have also seen most of the books written by some Doebandi scholars, at the end of their names, they added Deobandi or Qasmi (referred to the founder of Darul-Uloom Deoband Qasim nanatuwi). If someone referred with their identity than it should not be offended to Wahabi or Deobandi. As far as the mazhab or maslak concerned, In Arab world, most of the wahabies follows the Hanbali fiqh. In India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and other contries they follow the fiqh of Imam Azam Abu Hanifa or Imam Shafiee. Wahabi follows them in furu, but they don't follow them in Usool.If we go in detail, then it will a very extensive topic. Some of the wahabi don't even follow any fiqh they are called as Ahle-Hadith. The only correct path in Islam is the Ahlesunnat-wal-Jama'th as it mentioned in Ahadith. Hope I answered correct. Jazakallahu khair. May Allah protect the family of Syedna Ghousul Azam (RA).

I was reading some of the discussion on this website. I think all muslims should try to create unity among our ranks. It is unfortunate that we call each other names like Wahabis, Deobandi etc.. I believe that all of us should try our best to forge unity in the Ummah. Just wanted to know one thing Isn't Wahabis actually Hanbalis. Can someone reply to that as Wahabis follow the interpretation of Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhaab ibn Sulaymaan al-Tameemi al-Hanbali. May Allah help us all.

Yes, brother Ahmad Ali. Hazrat Sayed Abdul Qader Gillani was an Alim and he was also considered a Mujtahid. He had profound knowledge of Islam in a very broad sense, both in terms of Sharia and of course Tariqa (Spirtualism). His speciality was the Hanbali mazhab. He was very knowledgable about all the four mazhabs. There is not much difference in the four mazhabs of the Ahl sunna Wa Jamha. We sunni's follow the four Mazhab's of Imam Abu Hanifa (RA), Imam Shafi (RA), Imam Hanbal (RA) and Imam Malik (RA). They were all pious zahiri and batini and extremely knowledgable in the religion. After these four great scholars not too many came. Some say that the dorrs of Ijtihad were closed after them. But them we had the great Imam and Shiekh Hazrat Sayed Mohiudeen Abdul Qader Gillani. He was the revivor or our deen (Mohiudeen). Most Muslims living in the Indian continent and Asia are mostly Hanafi. In parts of the Arab world they follow Imam Shafi and Hanbali and parts of Africa are followers ao Imam Malik. We love and respect all of them. These great Imam's including Hazrat Sayed Abdul qader Gillani helped us understand Islam better. I hope this answered your question.

Assalaam Alaikum, Dear Mohibbe Ghousul-Wara, Janab Mirwais Azizi Sahib, I have seen your request about Hazrath Syedna Peer Jamaluddin Syed Yousuf algilaani Sahib Qibla (RTA). I am fortunate that I have met him and Sarkar Peer Syed Zafar Ahmad algillani Sahib (Hafizahu-llahu Ta'ala) in Babul Shaikh (Mazaar of Syedna Ghousul-Azam) in April (during Ramadan) 1992. He was very Pious, loving and caring to his guests. My older brother Hazrath Syed Jalaluddin Quadri Aljilani sahib is a Khalifa of Hazrath Peer Yousuf. I have already requested him to provide some information. My brother is under medical treatment. Recently he lost his wife in an accident in Madina Munawwara while going to visit the Martyrs (Ridhwanullahi Alaihim Ajma'een) of Badr, and his wife burried in Jannatul Baqi near the qubba of Ahle-bait (Ridhwanullahi Alaihim Ajma'een). Please supplicate him for his recovery. Insha'Allah, I will send you the information as soon as I received. Wassalaam,

Salaam my dear brothers. Here is the complete poem from my previous email. A tribute to Hazrat Sayed Abdul Qader Gillani from his own poem. I have naught but my destitution To Plead for me with Thee. And in my poverty I put forward that destitution as my plea. I have no power save to knock at Thy door, And if I be turned away, at what door shall I knock? Or on whom shall I call, crying his name, If thy generosity is refused to Thy destitute one? Far be it from Thy generosity to drive the disobedient one to despair! Generosity is more freehanded than that. In lowly wretchedness I have come to Thy door, Knowing that degradation there findd help. In full abandon I put my trust in Thee, Stretching out my hands to Thee, a pleading begger.

And in my poverty I put forward that destitution as my plea. I have no power save to knock at Thy door, And if be turned away, at what door shall I knock? Or on whom shall I call, crying his name, If Thy genersoity is refused to Thy destitue one? Far be it from Thy generosity to drive the disobedient one to despair! Generosity is more freehanded than that. In lowly wretchdness I have come to Thy door, Knowing that degradation there find help. In full abandon I put my trust in Thee, stretching out my hands to Thee, a pleading begger.

It is very important to be respectfull of our brothers. I have read both sides of the story. Both sides have prepared and posted adequate and detailed proof of their points. I have Mr. Hasims and all the other brothers points and proofs. disagreement is allowed in Islam. It is tolerance that is important. Yes, there are shiekh who do teach that the beard is important and their are those who say it's not. They both present their points and proofs. My point is lets be respectful of people. I personally know a Shiekh who would not pray being a man who does not have a beard. At the same time his own Pir had no beard. But both man are full of Iman and Taqwa. It is very difficult for me or anyone else to judge a person. So brothers lets move on. I have come accross people who love the Taliban but hate having beards. This is being a Munafiq. I have also come accross people who hate the Taliban and have beards. well you decide. So becareful and never judge a person who ever they may be. May Allah bless the family of Hazrat Ghous Ul-Azam Datagir (RA).

Assaalam o Alaikum, This is excellent. No doubt. I am Engineer by profession and 30 years in age. I have passed last ten years, with Islam as a major part of my life. I have analysed and paractically seen all different colors aand dimensions of Islam. The spiritualism ( Tassawauf ) is the most powerful dimension of Islam , not only for the purification of soul but also for character development and spreading Islam. The life and teachings of Syed Abdul Qadir Gillani ( May Allah be pleased with Him ) is a treasure and it is a high time to make it available for ordinary people. Congratulations for the developer of this site. I would also like to address my brothers who often comment here that instead of developing confrontation , we should try to work together and spread the thoughts of Syed Abdul Qadir Gillani ( May Allah be pleased with him ).

Mr. Hisam & Company, you chide away from the beautiful mentoring about the ACTUAL IMAN (which includes keeping of beard also) by Mr. Mohiuddin Quadri sahib. He just not discussed the tawassul, infact he talked about the IMAN, the one by which a common muslim can become a MO'min!! Otherwise you woudn't have started that nonsense again.

Mr. Hisam, seems like u r loosing u're senses, ure just proving yourself as a stubborn maniac who never wants to give up his nonsense!! No one has supported the idea of NOT havinng a beard. I specificly stated earlier that it is not your business, because people are accountable for their deeds. And you are not even in capacity to intercede anyone. Talking about Mustahab vs Sunnah! Let me tell you this; It may be mustahab to ask for tawassul, but questioning position of Shafa'i Mehshar Sayyidina Rasoolallah Salallahu alaihi wa sallam brings in the kufr. That is the reason the point was that critical. Now you mentioned not to mix up the deobandis with wahabis, you may be a fan of deobandism, but the Islamic fact is either white or black (in terms of binary it is either "0" or "1"), that means any amount of disrespect for Sayyidina Rasoolallh salallahu alaihi wa sallam is Kufr, therefore for us (AhleSunnah wal jama't) all Gustaq-e-Rasool salallahualaihi wa sallam are the same, whether they belongs any damn jama't. And the fact is; for any mislead group their leader would be shaitan. If you are not a wahabi or deobandi or even barelvi, then why do you have this much grudge about this excellent site which is named after such a great Shaikh, Ghausal Aghwas Shkaih Abdul Quadir jeelani ? Try not send anymore nonsense, OK ?

Masha'Allah, Janab Mohiuddin Quadri sahib, May Allah reward you for the response to the newly created religion (wahabi, deobandi). I was looking for these types of information. I have many questions that these deobandi, Tablighi created in hyderabad and confusing lot of innocent Muslims. I have a friend just joined the Tablighi jama'at and started calling his parents as mushrik & bid'ati and stopping them doing fatiha, Niaz, Giarhween, Eid milad. But his parents are still doing all of them. One day he came to them and shouted at them and about to molest them. If you do not mind, I will email you and ask some questions to bring my friend to the right path of our Prophet. I have taken the printout of your response and gave it him. I have already gave him Ja'AlHaq by Hazrath Ahmed Yar Khan Naimi. But he will not even bother to look at the book. The only book he has is written by one deobandi and treats that book as Quran. May Allah give us the wisdom to understand the religion.

The response of Mr. Mohiuddin Quadri on Waseela, calling Ya Rasoolullah, Ya Ghouse, Do Dead hear and kissing the hands and feet of Rasoolullah is very excellent and guidance to unbelievers. I read the whole article and found to be very benefited. Mr. Hisam has no respect of Islam and its characteristics. I think he has not read the whole article and picked on just waseela and called as destruction. These are the people who are destroying Islam. The entire article is based on Quran and Hadith that nobody will deny. I believe the article is the clarification for those who are doing the mastahab (like waseela, Ya rasoolullah, and other) and Wahabi/Deobandi/Najdii/Kharijii call them as mushrik. Just saying Millions of Muslims as Mushrik is very nonsense and a big sin. I strongly recommend the administrators of this site to stop these misguided people or have some filter to go through you. I believe this site is not design for misguided people like Hisam, IslahulHaq, deobandi, Najdii, wahabi, and Kharijii. One place he is asking not to call the deobandi as wahabi and other place he refers to Hazrath Ahmed Raza Khan. Mr. Mohiuddin Quadri, May Allah reward you for the information you provided in response to IslahulHaq.

WOW....such a destructive reply to someone who talked about tawassul...ps a mushtahhab act. However, when i made the point of the beard, secularist al-azhar scholars were quoted and the matter swept under the carpet. Brothers, this shows the state of the ummah...we're arguing over mushtahhab acts(ie tawassul), and avoiding the wajib ones...ie keeping a beard. Furthermore, plz. don't refer to deobandis in the same light as wahabbis...both are different in their beliefs, so its not correct to label someone according to something they are not...ps i'm not a deobandi(or barelvi) before you have a go at me, and start calling me a mushrik! As we have so many scholars here, can someone tell me what alahazrat imam raza khan(ra) said about the beard???...whoops there i go again i've mentioned something that everybody will start refuting with their aql, and not quran, hadith and interpretation of the scholars of ahlesunnah. wasallam

Bismillahi-lrahmani-lRaheem, Assalatu Wassalaamu Ala Sayyidil-Anbiyaa-e-wal-Mursaleen. Assalaamu-Alaikum, Dear Muhibbaane Rasoole Pak and his family (Ghous-e-Pak). Dear Mr. IslahulHaq, your comments are baseless and far away from Islamic teaching and practices. Let me give basic information about forbid. For any action to be called as forbid (Haram, shirk, or kufr) requires evidence from Quran, Hadith, and consensus of Scholars in a clear manner. As far as you commented that whether Prophet ever called people to ask him for any needs. Let me ask you “Has the prophet ever forbade people to ask his followers not to call him when in need?” The sensitive issue of whether or not Muslims can call for help upon the Holy Prophet (SAW), or righteous by proclaiming the words 'Ya Rasulullah' or “Ya Ghouse Almadad” needs to be clarified effectively, since this issue divides the Muslim community and causes untold pain and friction among the Muslim communities throughout the world. There are two schools of thought, one that says that calling upon the Holy Prophet(SAW) is “shirk” and that any Muslim proclaiming “Ya Rasulullah” in fact goes outside the pale of Islam and becomes a mushrik. Thus, such a person needs to take the “shahadah” again in order to become a Muslim or he remains a “mushrik”. The following statements make clear the beliefs and ideology of this school of thought: 1. Most people call out to the spiritual guides, the Prophets, the Imams, the martyrs, the angels, the devils and the fairies in times of distress and ask them to redress their needs. They also give them offerings for this purpose. Thus they indulge in polytheism.(Taqwiyat-ul-Imaan,P5-6, by Ismail Dehlvi) 2. How can anyone be the redresser of needs, the solver of difficulties and holder of one's hand? People holding such beliefs are out and out polytheist. They cannot even be allowed to get married to Muslims. And those people who are informed about their evil thoughts and even then do not call them 'apostates and polytheist' are polytheists themselves in the same degree. (Jawaahir-ul-Quraan, P147, by Ghulam Khan, Rawalpindi) 3. “He who seeks help from anyone except Allah is, in fact, a thorough polytheist. There is none in the world as bad as he. Curse be upon such a person from all (creatures) in the world.” “To ask for fulfillment of ones needs and invoke them (i.e. Prophets & Saints) is the way of the polytheist”. (Tazkeer-ul-Akhwaan,P83 & P343, by Ismail Dehlvi). The above statements belong to the Wahhabi/ Deobandi/ Tabligh Jamaat scholars according to whom it is a great sin to proclaim “Ya Rasulullah” with the intention that the Holy Prophet (SAW) can hear such a call for help. Also seeking the “waseela” (intercession) of the Holy Prophet (SAW) is deemed as polytheism by this school of thought. Let us now examine the beliefs of the other school of thought, namely the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat, who believe it is permissible to proclaim “Ya Rasulullah” and “Ya Ghous” according to Islamic Law. This school of thought in their support has forwarded the following proofs. Here are very few: 1. Allah says in Quran “And Allah has created you and your actions” (37:96). In another place Allah says “Seek help in patience and prayer” (2:45). We all know that Patience and Prayers are nothing but actions, and they are also the creation of Allah. So according to this we can seek help with the actions. We are not sure whether Allah will accept our actions or not. But we as Muslim believe that His Prophets and Friends are Chosen and accepted very highly by Allah. When we know the accepted and chosen creations of Allah, we should call them for help as they were elevated and sanctioned the powers by Allah. 2. Allah Says "O" Believers! Fear Allah and seek mediation (help) in the way to approach unto him” (5:35). This Verse clearly states about seeking Waseela (help) from any source to approach to Allah. Also there is no condition is set in this verse. 3. Allah Says “Those (righteous) whom they (misbelievers) worship, they (righteous) seek mediation (help) from those (righteous) who is nearest to Lord (Allah): They (righteous) hope for His (Allah) Mercy and fear His (Allah) Wrath: The wrath of the Lord (Allah) is something to take heed of” (17:57). In this verse Allah is stating of two kind of people 1) The Idolaters who worship the righteous. 2) The righteous who seeks waseela (help, mediation) towards Allah. Allah appreciates the act of righteous for their seek towards Allah for the another righteous who are nearer to Allah. This is also a great verse to call for help to the righteous. 4. Imam Bukhari(RA) in his Kitaabul Adaabul Mufrad has written that Hazrat Adullah ibn Omar(RA) once suffered from cramp. Someone advised him to remember the person whom he loved most. The great Companion then proclaimed loudly: "Ya Muhammad", it is recorded that he was immediately relieved of the cramps. 5. Imam Tabraani(RA) in his Mu’jam, Imam Bayhaqi in his book “Bayhaqi”, Imam Bukhari in his book “Taareekh”, Ibn Majah in his “Sunan ibn Majah”, Haakim in his “Mustadrik”, and Tirmidhi in his “Jame Tirmidhi” recorded the following incident: "A person in dire need once visited Ameerul Mu'mineen Hazrat Uthman Ghani(RA). The Caliph though, due to other work, did not pay much heed to this man. The person thereafter went to Hazrat Uthman bin Hanif(RA) and complained about the matter. Hazrat Uthman bin Hanif(RA) ordered the man to perform Wudhu, enter the Masjid and offer two rakaats of Nafil Salaah, he was then to recite the following Du'a: "O Allah, I beg of you and I seek your Assistance, with the Waseela of Your Beloved Prophet(SAW) who is the Prophet of Mercy. Ya Muhammad!, I turn to Allah with your Waseela so that my needs be fulfilled!. The man was then told to mention his need. After completion he and Hazrat Uthman bin Hanif(RA) both visited the court of the Caliph. The man was successful in his encounter with the Caliph and thanked Hazrat Uthman bin Hanif(RA) for mentioning him to the Caliph. But Hazrat Uthman bin Hanif (R”A) replied that he had not approached the Caliph at all, he then stated: "By Allah, I saw the Holy Prophet (SAW) teaching the very same Du'a to a blind man. Miraculously the blind man then approached us before we could even complete our conversation, and he appeared as if he had never been blind". 6. Imam-e-Mujtahid Sayyidi Abdur Rahman Masoodi(RA) was the grandson of Hazrat Abdullah ibn Masood(RA). He was also a very great Jurist and a Taabieen of high rank. It is said he used to wear a long hat on which were inscribed the words "Muhammad, Ya Mansoor".Substantiating this, Imam Hasheem bin Jameel Az Zaaki(RA) who was among the great Ulema and Muhaddatheen of the time states: "I saw him (i.e. Hazrat Abdur Rahman Masoodi) place a long hat on his head, on it were inscribed the words "Muhammad, Ya Mansoor". 7. Sayyidi Jamal bin Abdullah bin Omar Makki(RA), in his Fatawa states that he was questioned about those people who proclaim in times of difficulty: "Ya Rasulullah, Ya Ali, Ya Shaikh Abdul Qadir" as to these proclamations being permissible in Islam. The great Scholar replied "Yes, these proclamations are permissible, to call upon them is permissible including using their names as Waseelas(intercessions). This is permissible in the light of shari'ah. Such an act is desirable and approved. Only those individuals who are stubborn and arrogant would oppose or question this reality, and they verily are unfortunate and deprived of the Barakaat of the Awliya Allah". 8. Imam Allama Khayrudeen Ramli(RA), the illustrious teacher of Islamic scholar (Shaikh Alauddin Mohammad bin Ali Haskafi) and the writer of one of the most authentic book on Islamic Jurisprudence “Dour Mukhtar” states in his Fatawa Khayria volume 2: "People who proclaim, Ya Abdul Qadir are merely emulating a call, what therefore is the reason for it not to be permissible?". There are numerous occasions when the great and ordinary people have called upon the Holy Prophet (SAW) and received help, we have but quoted a few instances. The following great personalities deem it permissible to proclaim "Ya Rasulullah" whether in the lifetime of the Holy Prophet (SAW) or after, in Medina or in Deoband! 1. Hazrat Uthman bin Hanif(RA), 2. Hazrat Abdullah ibn Abbas(RA),3.Imam Bukhari(RA), 4. Imam Muslim(RA), 5. Imam Tabraani(RA)6. Imam Khayrudeen Ramli(RA), 7. Sayyidi Jamal Makki(RA) 8. Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilaani(RA), 9. Imam Ghazali(RA) 9. Abu Awana, Bazzaar, and Ibn Sunni relates with Abdullah ibn Masood that Prophet (peace be upon him) says: “if your animal running away from you in the desert, than call loudly saying “O servants of Allah stop my animal” three times. Allah will place someone to help stop the animal”. 10. Tabarani relates that Prophet says “If you need help than say “O servants of Allah! Help me”. Ahadith on items # 9 and 10 have been quoted by Imam Nawawi in his book (Kitab-ul-Azkar), Ibn Qayyim in his “Alkalim-ul-Tayyib”, Imam Mohammad al-jazri in his “Hisn Hasin”, and Ibn Mufleh Hambali in his “Aadaab”. Ibn Mufleh also relates with Abdullah son of Imam Ahmed bin Hambal that his father performed five Haj by walk. One time Imam Ahmed bin Hambal lost the way, could not find anyone to guide him and then he started calling “O Servants of Allah! Help me find the right way”. Finally he came to the right path. Mr. IslahulHaq, According to the brief evidence above, Calling for help to Rasoole Pak, other prophets and Ghouse-E-Pak is permissible. Since we all know that Ghouse-E-Pak is a great Islamic scholar, Wali Allah, and the descendant of Rasoolullah. Ghous-e-Pak has received the inheritance of Rosoolullah from many ways. Rasoole Pak has given us two weighty things and they are Quran and his family. Ghous-e-pak is among the family of Rasool-e-Pak. But he is not equivalent to Prophets. Definition of Shirk: Here is the Shirk definition you requested: Ascribing associates to Allah Most High means to hold that has an equal, whereas He has created you, and to worship another with Him, Whether it be stone, human, sun moon. Prophet, Shaikh, jinn, star, angel, or others. Allah says “Allah does not forgive that nay should be associated with Him, but forgives what is other than that to whomever He wills” (4:48). Allah also says “Of a certainty, worshipping others with Allah is a tremendous injustice” (31:13). Alhamdulillah, We Muslims do not worship anyone beside Allah. We respect the Righteous and make them our waseela. I know Wahabi’s(Kharijiis) have a habit of putting a label of the quranic verses to Muslims that was revealed for Idolaters. In Bukhari, Syedna Abdullah Ibn Umar used to call them as Worst nation who label the verses that revealed for kuffar to Muslims. There is difference between the Awlia Allah(friends of Allah) and Min Doonillah (beside Allah, like idols). We call our prophets and Awlia Allah for help, as they are Allah’s friends and mercy. Rasoolullah (peace be upon him) says, “"The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions”. MR. Islahulhaq, As far as this Web site concerned, this is not my site, and I am not the administrator. I am just a viewer like you. I found this site to be a very beneficial. Like Abu Jahl and Syedna Abu Bakar Siddiq. Both used to view our beloved prophet in different means. Alhamdulillah, I am following Syedna Siddiq Akbar. Do the dead hear? 1. Allah says, “Truly You can not cause the Dead to listen nor can you cause the Deaf to hear the call (especially) when they turn back in retreat” (27:80). In this verse, Allah refers to Kuffars (infidels, misbelievers) as dead even though they are alive. 2. Allah says, “Truly thou wilt die (one day) and truly they (too) will die (one day)” (39:30). According to Mufassireen (Interpreters) This was reveled to the Kuffar (idolater), when they used to wait for the prophet’s death. Means that Kuffars (idolaters) are already dead in this world and after, but the Prophets received death for a second and then their souls will be back in their bodies. We have overwhelming evidence from Ahadith and Scholars. 3. Allah Says, “And say not of those who are slain in the way of Allah: "They are dead." Nay they are living though ye perceive (it) not“(2:154). According to Quran,The martyrs are not dead and their positions are on third level. Allah says “All who obey Allah and the Apostle are in the company of those on whom is the Grace of Allah of the Prophets (who teach) the sincere (lovers of truth) the witnesses (who testify, martyrs) and the righteous (who do good): ah! what a beautiful fellowship! “ (4:69). These verses says that even they die to please Allah are martyrs and they are not dead. According to above verses, it is confirmed that the believer will receive death for a second and then their souls will return to them, and they are alive. When they are alive than they will hear too. Now look at some Ahadith that will also assure that after death anybody can hear. A. In Sahih Bukhari: The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) ordered that the bodies of the idolaters slain on the day of Badr be thrown into a well whose interior was encased with stones, then he approached the well and began addressing the unbelievers by their names and fathers' names, saying: "O So-and-so son of So-and-so, and So-and-so son of So-and-so: it would have been easier if you had obeyed Allah and His Messenger. We have found what our Lord promised to be true; have you found what your Lord promised to be true?" To which `Umar said: "O Messenger of Allah, why speak to lifeless bodies?" And he replied: "By Him in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, you do not hear my words better than they do." [In Muslim: "By Him in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, you do not hear my words better than they do, only they are unable to answer."] B. In Muwatta, Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Sasaca that he had heard that Amr ibn al-Jamuh al-Ansari and Abdullah ibn Umar al-Ansari, both of the tribe of Banu Salami, had their grave uncovered by a flood. Their grave was part of what was left after the flood. They were in the same grave, and they were among those martyred at Uhud. They were dug up so that they might be moved. They were found unchanged. It was as if they had died only the day before. One of them had been wounded, and he had put his hand over his wound and had been buried like that. His hand was pulled away from his wound and released, and it returned to where it had been. It was forty-six years between Uhud and the day they were dug up. Malik said, "There is no harm in burying two or three men in the same grave due to necessity. The oldest one is put next to the qibla." C. In Sahih Muslim, Narrated by Zayd Bin Thabit that As Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) was going with us towards the dwellings of Banu an-Najjar. While riding his pony, it shied and he nearly fell off. He found four, five or six graves there. He said: Which of you knows about those lying in the graves? Someone said: I do. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: In what state did they die? He said: They died as polytheists. He said: These people are passing through the ordeal in the graves. If it were not for the fact that you would stop burying (your dead) in the graves if you heard the torment in the grave, which I hear, I should have certainly made you listen to it. Then turning his face towards us, he said: Seek refuge with Allah from the torment of Hell. They said: We seek refuge with Allah from the torment of Hell. He said: Seek refuge with Allah from the torment of the grave. They said: We seek refuge with Allah from the torment of the grave. He said: Seek refuge with Allah from turmoil, its visible and invisible (aspects). They said: We seek refuge with Allah from turmoil and its visible and invisible aspects. He said: Seek refuge with Allah from the turmoil of the Dajjal. They said: We seek refuge Allah from the turmoil of the Dajjal. D. In Sahih Bukhari, Narrated by Syedna Ibn Abbas, Allah's Apostle passed by two graves and said, "Both of them (persons in the grave) are being tortured, and they are not being tortured for a major sin. This one used not to save himself from being soiled with his urine, and the other used to go about with calumnies (among the people to rouse hostilities, e.g., one goes to a person and tells him that so-and-so says about him such-and-such evil things). The Prophet then asked for a green leaf of a date-palm tree, split it into two pieces and planted one on each grave and said, "It is hoped that their punishment may be abated till those two pieces of the leaf get dried". E. In Tirmidhi, Narrated by Amr bin Hazm that Amr told how, when the Prophet (peace be upon him) saw him leaning on a grave, he said, "Do not molest the occupant of this grave"; or, "Do not molest it." F. In Tirmidhi and Sunan Abu Dawood, Narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas that One of the Prophet's companions set up his tent over a grave without realizing that it was a grave, and it contained a man who was reciting the surah, "Blessed is He in whose hand is the kingdom,"(Surat ul Mulk) up to the end. He went and told the Prophet (peace be upon him) about the sound of Surat ul Mulk coming out of the grave, than Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "It is(Suratul Mulk) the defender; it is the protector which is protecting him from Allah's punishment." G. In Sahih Muslim, Narrated by Anas Bin Malik that Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: I happened to pass by Moses on the occasion of the Night Journey near the red mound (and found him) saying his prayer in his grave. According to all the above Ahadith, It is also confirmed that the dead people can hear. For more details please read Ibn Qayyim’s “Kitab-ul-Rooh” and Imam Jalaluddin Suyuti’s “Sharah-Al-Sudoor”. Ibn Qayyim and Imam Jalaluddin Suyuti are very highly accepted by Wahhabis also. Kissing to Rasoolullah: 1. In Sunan Abu Dawood, AbdurRahman ibn AbuLayla, quoting Usayd ibn Hudayr, a man of the Ansar, said that while he was given to jesting and was talking to the people and making them laugh, the Prophet (peace be upon him) poked him under the ribs with a stick. He said: Let me take retaliation. He said: Take retaliation. He said: You are wearing a shirt but I am not. The Prophet (peace be upon him) then raised his shirt and the man embraced him and began to kiss his side. Then he said: This is what I wanted, Apostle of Allah! 2. In Sunan Abu Dawood, Umm Aban, daughter of al-Wazi' ibn Zari', quoting his grandfather, who was a member of the deputation of AbdulQays, said: When we came to Medina, we raced to be first to dismount and kiss the hand and foot of the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him). But al-Mundhir al-Ashajj waited until he came to the bundle of his clothes. He put on his two garments and then he went to the Prophet (peace be upon him). He said to him: You have two characteristics which Allah likes: gentleness and deliberation. He asked: Have I acquired them or has Allah has created (them) my nature? He replied: No, Allah has created (them) in your nature. He then said: Praise be to Allah Who has created in my nature two characteristics which Allah and His Apostle like. 3. In Sunan Abu Dawood, Narrated by Buhaysah al-fazariyyah, My father sought permission from the Prophet (peace be upon him). (When permission was granted and he came near him) he lifted his shirt, and began to kiss him and embrace him (out of love for him). He asked: Apostle of Allah, what is the thing which it is unlawful to refuse? He replied: Water. He again asked: Prophet of Allah, what is the thing which it is unlawful to refuse? He replied: Salt. He again asked: Prophet of Allah, what is the thing which it is unlawful to refuse? He said: To do good is better for you. 4. In Bukhari, reported by Abis bin Rabia, and in Muwatta Imam Malik, reported by Yahya that 'Umar came near the Black Stone and kissed it and said "No doubt, I know that you are a stone and can neither benefit anyone nor harm anyone. Had I not seen Allah's Apostle kissing you I would not have kissed you." 5. In Bukhari, Narrated by Syeda Aisha Siddiqa that I never saw anyone more like the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) in respect of gravity, calm deportment, pleasant disposition - according to al-Hasan's version: in respect of talk and speech. Al-Hasan did not mention gravity, calm deportment, pleasant disposition - than Fatimah, may Allah honour her face. When she came to visit him (the Prophet) he got up to (welcome) her, took her by the hand, kissed her and made her sit where he was sitting; and when he went to visit her, she got up to (welcome) him, took him by the hand, kissed him, and made him sit where she was sitting. 6. In Bukhari, Narrated by Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle kissed Al-Hasan bin Ali while Al-Aqra' bin Habis At-Tamim was sitting beside him. Al-Aqra said, "I have ten children and I have never kissed anyone of them." Allah's Apostle cast a look at him and said, "Whoever is not merciful to others will not be treated mercifully." 7. In Sunan Abu Dawood narrated by Syedna Abdullah ibn Umar, Ibn Umar was sent with a detachment of the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him). The people wheeled round in flight.
