Its long coastline, meandering rivers, hills and dales of sylvan labyrinth, and enchanting backwaters have made Kerala a heaven on earth.Kerala had ties with Arabia from time immemorial, and Islam reached this tiny State during the lifetime of Prophet Mohammed (pbuh).

Dr.Muhammad Abdu Yamani

Dr. Muhammad Abdu Yamani

The former Minister of Culture and Information of Saudi Arabia, and a respected Islamic thinker, Dr. Muhammad Abdu Yamani, passed away on Sunday, 7 November 2010/2 Dhul-Hijja 1431 Hijri, at the age of 72. He was a descendent of the Prophet Muhammad (May peace and blessings be upon him). He was buried at Mua’la Cemetery in Makkah, near Sayyida Khadija, the wife of Prophet Muhammad, on the following Tuesday afternoon. His funeral prayers were held in the Grand Mosque. Dr. Yamani was visiting the residence of Prince Khalid Al Faisal when he suffered a stroke on Sunday evening, and he was transferred to the Saudi German hospital in Jeddah where he expired. He was born in Mecca in 1938 and received his early education in the Haram al Sharif or Grand Mosque, but then obtained a doctorate degree in geology from Cornell University in the US. He served as a lecturer at various Saudi universities before being appointed to high-ranking positions, including President of King Abdul-Aziz University from 1973 to 1975, and Minister of Information from 1975 to 1983.
 He was the author of more than 35 books, both in Arabic and English, in the areas of religion, culture and science. He had received many honours, including medals from France, Spain, Jordan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries.
 He was a very close family friend, who was very modest and humble in his work, and active in social welfare and charities. He was also a member of the boards of directors of many companies, including banks.
 Dr. Yamani’s death is a significant loss for Muslims everywhere, as noted in the Arab News of 8 November. The newspaper quoted Sharief Mansour Abu Rayyash, a columnist for the newspaper Al-Nadwah, who said of Yamani, “He was a lover of Makkah and supported various cultural, literary and sports activities in the holy city.”
 He defended the famous Sheikh Al-Sayyid Muhammad bin Alawi al-Maliki against the Wahhabis, and without Dr. Yamani, the Sufi Sheikhs in the Saudi Kingdom will have nobody influential left to assist them in the manner he did.
 He had a large sign made and posted at the historical battle ground of Badr, with the names of the Prophet’s Companions who were martyred there.
 I shall cherish my last meeting with him, as we recalled the days when my Sheikh Sayyid Habib Ahmad Mashhur Al Haddad, and other Ba’ Alawi Sheikhs, would hold Mawlid gatherings commemorating the Prophet’s birthday, and where Yamani was a regular visitor. He gave me his famous book, This is Fatimah Al-Zahraa, about the life of Muhammad’s daughter, and the Prophet’s family (May peace and blessings be upon them)
 Dr. Yamani recently had decided to move back to Makkah, his birthplace, with his wife, and purchased land to build a house before becoming ill.

  We have lost someone who lived his life serving his lord, making every effort for humanitarian causes, dedicating his life to charity, and acting as a faithful Muslim in fighting against the radical Wahhabis. Janaza of Muhammad Abdu Yamani in Mecca

Sheik Aboobacker Bin Ahmad as 'The Leader'

Kanthapuram enjoys a multifaceted personality of a scholar, orator, writer, organizer, educationist and fore-fighter of social revivalism. He recognized and proved by his actions that knowledge can be turned to channalize for social empowerment and has a wider perspective.

He brought about a good social status and dignity for the religious scholars with his active interference in the society. He became a member of the Central Mushawara of Samastha Kerala Jam-iyyathul Ulema in 1974, followed by the office secretary, before becoming the joint secretary of the Samastha. He was a member of the committee, which was appointed to expand the organization in all India level in 1976. He held the designation of the general secretary of Samastha Kerala Sunni Yuvajana Sangham, (S.Y.S.) from 1975 to 1996, and he was the president of the organization during the tenure of 1996- 2004. Presently, Kanthapuram is the Chairman of the Supreme Council of S.Y.S. He also served as the member of Hajj committee of Kerala and Chairman to the Editorial board of the Arabic Text Books of Govt. Schools of Kerala.

He was elected as the General Secretary of Samastha Kerala Jam-iyyathul Ulema in 1989. In 1993, when the All India Jam-iyyathul Ulema was set up, Kanthapuram became the General Secretary and in the same year he was endorsed as the Consortium Qasi of Calicut and in 2003 as of the Wayanad district as well. Besides these, Kanthapuram is the treasurer of Samastha Kerala Sunni Education Board and General Secretary of the famous Markazu-ssaquafathi-ssuniyya or The Sunni Markaz.

The debates and dialogues of Kanthapuram is very famous especially against those sects of the Muslims who emerged against the puritan nature of Islam and the teachings of Qur-An. The debates of Kuttichira, Ayiroor, Kuttoor, Pattambi, Pulikkal, Valiyaparambu, Kottappuram…etc with Kanthapuram in lead, was surely a blow to these sectarians.

In the post independent India, where illiteracy and poverty were the ruling factors as the balance sheet of the colonial rule, Kanthapuram began his revivalism, keeping in mind the social and educational upliftment of the downtrodden class including that of the Muslims. He visualized and translated into action farsighted projects in order to change the social anarchy and educational backwardness of the Muslims, which were prevailing in the Muslim society after the 1921 Malabar Mutiny. Kanthapuram is the visionary, founder and founder General Secretary of Markazu-ssaquafathi-ssuniyya, which is a world famous educational consortium, including that of Orphanages, Vocational Training Centers, School of Islamic Shariah, School of Qur-An Learning, Engineering College, English Medium Educational Institutes, International Public Schools, Women's Educational Centers, Hospitals and Commercial Complexes. Apart from this, Kanthapuram serves as the chief patron and Chairman of about 300 Educational Institutions, which are spread all over India. The Islamic Educational Board, headed by Kanathapuram runs more than ten thousand Madrassas, which provides religious education up to the secondary level.
Focusing his attention on the suppressed and sidelined population, he felt that the need of the hour is to provide proper education to lift them up from all type of inhibition thus giving them all round social development. He pragmatically proved the concept of education by the very resolute principle of “Modern education in any branch, backed by moral traditions and religious values”.
This serves as a cornerstone to his contemplation of the educational system in the troubled modern world, which shapes the character of the individual in perfect balance applicable to any situation. Jamia Markaz and those institutions under its supervision are proving this very fact for the past 30 years.

Biography Of Kanthapuram AP Aboobackr Musliyar

   The Muslims of Kerala have been keeping a creative identity in social, political and cultural realms. The social interference fashioned by the Kerala Muslims on the platform of Islamic humanitarianism testifies their vigilant religious life and original social existence. The God-fearing life style of the forgone scholars played a major role in creatively employing the cultural possibilities of the Islamic life. The dynamic moral fiber of the Muslim life in Kerala is imprinted by the vibrant social leadership of the awe-inspiring Ulemas. The roots of such Organic Intellectual life can be traced in scholars like Sheikh Zainuddin Maqdooms, Omer Qasi, Sayed Alavi of Mampurom, and Ali Musliyar…etc. The public opinion and communal interests of the Muslims of Kerala has been greatly influenced by the brave social interference of these Ulemas, and of course, Kanthapuram A. P. Aboobacker Musliyar is a real inheritor of this Dharma of the rich and scholastic legacy of the Kerala Muslims.
Kanthapuram would be remembered by the future generation on the very fact that he led forward the contemporary Muslim multitude from a chaotic and apprehensive stage to one with confidence and hope. He guided the Kerala Muslim Society by redefining the sense of duty of the Ulama or the learned, and actively involving in the process of social reformation, and thereby played an incomparable role in linking the Islamic society with the mainstream population. He bequeathed great respite on the anxieties of a society, which had been historically sidelined, by presenting the communal issues on the wider perspective of social justice.

We could distinguish in Kanthapuram, a traditional Islamic scholar, who had been missing from the brilliant past of the Islamic civilization.
The legion which Kanthapuram cultivated through educational and humanitarian services gives a lot of anticipation for a promising Islamic Society. Therefore, the life of Kanthapuram A. P. Aboobacker Musliyar defines and plays an important part of the Muslim community of Kerala. The significance of the revival which Kanthapuram proved lies in the fact that he could form this alternative perspective of a renaissance of the community without deviating from the social mainstream. Further, this progression convinced the modern society that the Islamic knowledge system does not refuse any developmental ideas.
For this reason alone the accomplishments and backdrop of Kanthapuram demand reading and revision. This will help the formation of religious oriented developmental ideas of social progress of the national Muslims in general and Kerala Muslims in particular. Kanthapuram can also provide some creative and innovative lessons to the emerging Islamic political thoughts of national and international scene for the very individuality of shielding the secular modern thinking with the traditional religious approach. This evaluation should be done on a unique perspective of a real scholar, who stood in the interests of social commitments, other than a mere individual.

On Swalath Nagar Malappuram

Muslims in Kerala take pledge against terrorism
 
Hundreds of thousands of Muslims took the pledge against terrorism at the end of the marathon prayers on Lailat Al-Qadr, the night of power, overnight Monday.


Believers started pouring into Swalath Nagar in Malappuram district well before the breaking of fast at a mass iftar after which the prayers began. The annual event was organized by Ma’dinu Ssaquafathil Islamiyya, which runs a group of religious and educational institutions. “We, the servants of Allah and followers of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), affirm in good faith that we will strive for the virtue and well being of our family, friends, teachers and the entire humanity. We will be in the forefront of giving a helping hand to the poor and the oppressed,” devotees repeated the pledge administered by Sayyid Ibrahimul Khaleelul Bukhari, chairman of Ma’din. Apart from the main venue, people were accommodated in other 10 grounds, spread across 10 km on either sides of the highway. Of these, five were reserved for women and all were linked with closed-circuit TVs.

“We have assembled here upholding forbearance and abstention from everything that Allah has forbidden, to rededicate ourselves in the service of humanity and to lead a life afresh devoid of sins and transgressions,” read the pledge The believers gathered from far-flung places in India and abroad reaffirmed that usurping the rights of fellow-beings is a grave offence to humanity and that the Muslims would continue to honor the dignity of others. The organizers said more than half million people had been gathering at the venue for the past three years. The size of the gathering is estimated by the number of food packets distributed to the guests. “And we praise God for blessing us with an Islamic life. Even when we take pride in being a Muslim, we respect and honor all other faiths and their followers. We will keep a continuous vigil against forces that work to destroy the oneness of humanity,” the pledge said. It said the Muslims are duty-bound to protect India’s integrity, wealth, values and legacy. “We once again reaffirm that we will uphold and safeguard the integrity and unity of the country, and will distance ourselves from all actions and moves that may jeopardize the nation.”

Reiterating that terrorism, extremism, subversive attempts, factionalism and discrimination on the basis of religion, community, caste, politics and language are sure to destabilize India they took the solemn oath to reach out to others with the message of peace. In his inaugural address, Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliar, general secretary of the All India Jamiyyathul Ulema, said Islamic scholars and leaders always upheld the message of harmonious coexistence of different faiths in the country. A.K. Abdul Hameed, Central Haj Committee member, welcomed the gathering following which Sayed Ali Bafaqi Thangal led the initial prayer. Sayed Abdurahman Bukhari Thangal, president of the Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama, presided over the congregation. Sayed Mohammed Ba-Alavi, Quran scholar from Yemen, who led Tharaveeh prayers earlier, was the chief guest. The congregation stayed up throughout the night chanting prayers for peace and salvation. It reached a crescendo as the gathering said “there is no God but Allah” a thousand times in unison anticipating that the night greater than a thousand nights in sanctity and rewards from Allah falls on 27th night of Ramadan. The mass prayers were telecast live by television channels while special video-screening were held at centers in Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi in India and major cities in the Middle East. Several people abroad joined the congregation utilizing the online video streaming, live telecast and screening facilities, making it truly global. Ma’din started organizing the annual prayer meet with a view to spreading peace and communal harmony in a small way 24 years back and the number started swelling year after year.

The Holy month of Ramadan

Once more Ramadhan is coming to us with all its blessings. Blessed are those who could welcome this holy month. Last year there were many with us to welcome and to bid farewell. But now they are under the earth. And can we take a share in the next Ramadhan? Allah knows best.

    A Muslim does not doubt in that the best of all months is Ramadhan and the virtues of Ramadhan are out of limitation. But where he fails is in exploiting the moments in Ramadhan as they deserve. May Allah help us in utilizing the blessed moments of the month in all kinds of virtues by which we can escape in the hereafter.

  Ramadhan is the ninth month of Hijra Calendar. There are many opinions as to the origin of the name Ramadhan. According to some of the linguists, the word Ramadhan means that which is setting ablaze. This literal meaning is very near to the technical sense. Ramadhan is the month which burns the sins of the believers. Ibnu Asakir (in his Tareekh) has reported a Hadeeth from Sayyida Aisha. She asked to the messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam “Why Ramadhan is named so?” He told “In the month of Ramadhan Allah will forgive and burn the sins of the believers”
   Some scholars opine that it is Karaaha (undesirable) to use the word Ramadhan without using Shahr (month), that is to say the month of Ramadhan.
  According to Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani the five letters in the word Ramadhan (Ra-Ma-Dh-A-N) are indication to five ideas

1- Ra (Ridhwanullah) – The Pleasure of Allah
2- Ma (Mahabbatullah) – The love of Allah
3- Dha (Dhamanullah) - The protection of Allah
4- A (Ilfullah) – The nearness of Allah
5- N (Noorullah) The light of Allah

Fasting in the month of Ramadan is one of the 'pillars' of the Islamic faith. No proof is required to establish its being obligatory (wajib) and one denying it goes out of the fold of Islam, because it is obvious, like Salat, to the learned and the unlettered, the elderly and the young. It was declared an obligatory duty (fardh ) in the second year of the Hijra upon each and every Mukallaf (one capable of carrying out religious duties, i.e. a sane adult).

In the month of Ramadhan the reward for the virtues will be doubled into ten to seven thousand times. Why was Ramadhan distinguished from other months of a year by this great position?
Because,
Ramadhan is the month of the revelation of The Holy Quraan

Allah says:

شَہۡرُ رَمَضَانَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ هُدً۬ى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَـٰتٍ۬ مِّنَ ٱلۡهُدَىٰ وَٱلۡفُرۡقَانِ‌ۚ فَمَن شَہِدَ مِنكُمُ ٱلشَّہۡرَ فَلۡيَصُمۡهُ‌ۖ وَمَن ڪَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوۡ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ۬ فَعِدَّةٌ۬ مِّنۡ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ‌ۗ يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ بِڪُمُ ٱلۡيُسۡرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِڪُمُ ٱلۡعُسۡرَ وَلِتُڪۡمِلُواْ ٱلۡعِدَّةَ وَلِتُڪَبِّرُواْ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَٮٰكُمۡ وَلَعَلَّڪُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ (١٨٥)

Ramadhan is the month during which the Quran was revealed, providing guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book. Those of you who witness this month shall fast therein. Those who are ill or traveling may substitute the same number of other days. Allah wishes for you convenience, not hardship, that you may fulfill your obligations, and to glorify Allah for guiding you, and to express your appreciation. (Al Baqara:185)

From the above evidence we can understand that the prime reason for the greatness of the Ramadhan is the revelation of the Quraan in it. And it is known to everyone that the Time is honoured by the great events that take place. So really the month of Ramadhan is the anniversary of the revelation of The Holy Quraan which is the main guide for the humanity.

The door of Heaven is opened
Imam Ahmad and Imam Nasa’i reported a Hadeeth from Aboo Huraira Radhiyallahu anhu. He told: The messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam would give glad tidings to his companions at the coming of the Month of Ramdhan. He would tell them:

”جاءكم شهر رمضان شهر مبارك كتب الله عليكم صيامه فيه تفتح أبواب الجنة وتغلق فيه أبواب الجحيم وتغل فيه الشياطين وفيه ليلة خير من ألف شهر من حرم خيرها فقد حرم"
The blessed month of Ramadhan came to you. Allah has prescribed to you the fasting of that month in which the doors of heaven will be opened and the doors of Hell will be closed and the Satans will be shackled. And in the month there is a night which is better than a thousand months. If one is prevented its virtue, he is prevented (all virtues).
And in another Hadeeth we can read this:

"لو يعلم الناس ما في رمضان لتمنت أمتي أن يكون رمضان السنة كلها"

“If the people know what is in Ramadhan my Ummah will wish all the year to be Ramadhan”
The special door of Al-Rayyan

Imam Muslim and Imam Bukhari reported: The messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam told:
" إن في الجنة بابا يقال له الريان يدخل منه الصائمون لا يدخل منه غيرهم "

“There is a door in Heaven told Al Rayyan. Only the Saa’imeen (those who take fast) will enter through it. No one else will enter through that door”

Isra’: a Scientific Analysis

The Isra’ was an historical event explained immensely in the holy Quran. The journey was really a physical one and not a dreamy or spiritual. The verses of holy Quran reveal this fact: Glorified be He (Allah) Who carried His servant by night from Al- Masjid Al- Haram (in holy Makkah) to Al- Masjid Al- Aqsa (in Jerusalem), the neighborhood whereof We have blessed, in order that We might show him some of Our signs. Indeed He alone is All-hearing, All-Seeing (H.Q 17/1). If it is a mere journey in one’s dream, how will be it qualified for the statement of holy verses? For, most of us might be experienced such a dream. As for the word ‘Subhana’, the Quranic style is to use the word only for expressing an extraordinary event. Habitually, the word would be applied for any astonishment. But it isn’t an astonishing matter that to travel about 1,000 kms through one’s dream. Accordingly, the word ‘Subhana’ never used for referring such a travel.


The journey, stated in the holy Quran, was happened after the messenger’s prophet hood. Al Hathami sufi comments: about 30 times, Isra had taken place in the life of the messenger (Peace and Blessing be upon him). There are some reports to support the argument that the Isra’ happened before his Prophethood. So, here is a possibility to be the thirty journeys other than the one as mere dreamy without any physical touch. The Prophet (PBH) once said the beginning of Prophethood was by some true dreams. In addition, the real and physical Isra’ and Mi’raj took place on the Prophet’s 52nd age on 27th of Rajab.



The beginning of his journey



On that night, the Prophet (PBH) was in the house of Ummu Hani’(May Allah please with her) at Shi’b Abu thalib (Street Abu Thalib). Often, He would consider this house as his own house. Ummu hani’ (R) was the daughter of Abu thalib. In the Hadiths depicting the Isra’, some reports claim that it was from his own house. Some claim from the house of Ummu hani’ (R). Even though, the above mentioned joins together the two reports more wisely.

In the night, a crack approximately broad appeared on the roof of the house. When he saw the crack, the messenger (PBH) came to remember his experience of getting his chest torn and stitched while he was in the caring hands of Haleema (R). This remembrance might be helping him to be brave. It is good to start an operation after getting courage and confidence.

The angels, climbing down from the heaven, took the Messenger (PBH) to Masjid Al Haram. While the sleeping annoyed him, he laid on the Hijr ismaeel where Hamza, and jafer (May Allah Please with them) had been sleeping. After some time, the angels awaked the Prophet (PBH) from the sleeping. Taking him in to the well of Zam Zam, they put him laid on his back. In an extraordinary manner, the operation was conducted without using any equipment in the leadership of Jibreel (A). The angels Jibreel and Mikael (A) took the Prophet’s heart and washed it with the water Zam Zam as they did during his childhood.

Afterwards, Jibreel (A) took him out of the Masjid Al haram where an animal, which was bigger than an ass but smaller than a mule, had been waiting as their vehicle. Its name was Buraque. This name might be derived from the Arabic word ‘Baraq’ which means ‘the lightning’. The vehicle was very fast like the lightning. When the Messenger (PBH) climbed up the vehicle it started to rush. Oh! What a speedy! On every rush, it leaped over beyond the reach of eye sight. Its legs and hands was spring like one and their movements changed in accordance with the wharf. Ibn Al muneer (R) says: “the Buraque needs only one step for reaching on the sky from the earth”. Buraque, how wonderful it is! It had two wings on its both thighs. For the betterment of rushing, these wings worked as an engine.

Here is a question raised, is this vehicle sent down newly for the miraculous journey of Messenger (PBH)? Some scholars denied it. Imam sha’rani (R) says: “every Prophet has got chance to travel on the Buraque”. Some historical scholars opinioned that it was the same vehicle that took the Prophet Ibrahim, his son Ismaeel and Hajra (May Allah Blessed with them) from the Quds to holy Makkah. Even though, some claim this vehicle was arranged only for the Messenger (PBH).

It isn’t impossible to survive an animal on earth for so many eras. The surviving of khidr (A) in the earth and Isa (A) on the heaven both are clear evident to make possible of the survival of living things for eras. Ashabul Kahf (The people of the Cave) fell asleep about three hundred years in a Cave. In addition, the camel of Salih (A), the cow which got her life back while his sword touched her and the wood pecker of Messenger Sulaiman (A) are the miraculous phenomena in animal world. The Buraque can also be added to this list.

The Buraque challenges the helicopters, a high technological comfort in the modern world. The copters need helipad to land in. but the Buraque, which set out from the Masjid Al haram, reached on Baith Al Muqaddis after landing frequently without the help of helipads or special grounds. The planes and copters necessitate the set up for protecting the traveler from the airy difficulties. But the travelers on the Buraque need not to bother about such problems. For, Allah arranged this journey to the Messenger (PBH) as a Mu’ajizath. So, he (PBH) feared not any difficulties which the common people confronted with.

Thus, the travelers reached in Masjid Al- Aqsa. The Messenger (PBH) tied the Buraque in a ring on the gate of Aqsa. Meanwhile, the Angel Jibreel (A) made a new ring on a stone adjacent to the gate. Then the Buraque was tied on it soon. The Jibreel (A) might think to make a sign for tomorrow. For, all the Prophets used to tie their vehicle in the ring on which the Messenger (PBH) tied at first. Accordingly, if he tied Buraque in the same ring, here would not be any evident for the visit of Messenger(PBH) . That is why, the new made ring might be a sign for the visit.

The virtues of Isra' and Mi'raj

By: Siddique Saqafi Sidheeqi



Isra and Miraj is one of the most significant miracles that Prophet Muhammad (s) has been honored by Almighty Allah. In the Month of Rajab every year, a large number of Muslims worldwide celebrates the anniversary of Isra and Miraj, marking Prophet Muhammad’s miraculous journey from Makkah to Jerusalem and from there to farthest regions of skies, spaces and galaxies . Celebrating on such various substantial occasions of Prophet’s history has long been considered to be of greater importance as it can help us remember its importance, spread its messages to the public and teach ourselves specific lessons of such incidents.


Prophet’s ascension was merely physical

The entire journey of Al-Isra and Al-miraj was not just spiritual, but it was merely a physical journey as has been proved from the text of Holy Quran and from many hadiths. The Holy Quran talks about Prophet’s journey with the word of Subhaana-سُبْحَانَ

سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَىٰ بِعَبْدِهِ

“Glorified (and Exalted) be He (Allâh) Who took His slave (Muhammad SAW) for a journey by night”

In this verse, the word Subhaana puts a hint that the journey was merely physical because this word is used to record wonder or to show a great miracle. If miraj is merely a spiritual and is only a matter of Prophet’s dream, what is there unusual to use the phrase of Subhaan-سُبْحَانَ.

The phrase عَبۡدِ (Slave) also indicates that Prophet’s miraj was merely a journey to skies and galaxies, because, عَبۡدِ is not only spirit, but it is the name for the combination of body and spirit. These both explanations have been given by many Quran Mufassirs (Quran commentators) like Imam Faqrudheen Al-raazi.

Imam Raazi has also pointed that the events of s that Prophet Muhammad (s) has experienced during the time of Isra and Miraj and facilitating a specific and distinctive vehicle for His transportation are also some of the evidences that prove Prophet’s Miraj journey was merely a physical journey.

Did Prophet Muhammad (s) meet with Allah during Miraj?

As Ibn Abbas (R) stated, Prophet Muhammad (s) has met with Allah during the conversation in the Miraj day and it is considered to be the right view regarding whether Prophet (s) has met with Allah or not. The Hadith below is narrated from Ibn Abbas (r).

رأيت ربي تبارك وتعالى

This Hadith clearly states “I saw My Lord”.

Prophet Muhammad (s) has been granted five times prayer for His Ummah from Allah during this conversation and this has been proved by a number of Hadiths. The Five times prayer is the most significant worship that every Muslims are extremely responsible for, the first and foremost that Allah will ask about it in the Hereafter, a vital point that determines the difference between a true Muslim and others (according to a Hadith) and an extremely imperative worship that even the most unhealthy, ill-fallen and handicapped are not excused of, but are responsible to offer it five times by any means possible like Ishaarah. One of the main fundamental and salient features of this worship is that it is a direct conversation between a person and Allah (Munaajath) and therefore, it can be logically concluded that, it is awarded to the Holy Prophet for his followers in a very direct conversation (Munaajath).

Prophet Muhammad (s) has met with Allah and it makes him unique, peerless and greatest man ever lived. He has been glorified being taken to heavens, galaxies and all those super spaces that even our most advanced technology will surely fail to find a path on it. As Allah has declared in His Quran:

وَهُوَ بِالْأُفُقِ الْأَعْلَى

“While He is in the highest spaces of the Horizon”

والظاهر أن المراد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم معناه استوى بمكان وهو بالمكان العالي رتبة ومنزلة في رفعة القدر (Imam Raazi)

Prophet Muhammad (s) has been honored such a great, loyal, exalted and high-ranking position that distinguished him in the History of humankind.

Isra And Miraj -- Miraculous Journey of Prophet Muhammad (s)

Al- Isra and Al- Miraj (The night journey and Ascension) is the most miraculous incident in the life of Prophet Muhammad (s) which remains to be unparalleled in the history. In a time when technology was not known and space journey is non-imaginative, Prophet Muhammad (s) travelled from Makkah to Al-Aqsa Mosque (Jerusalem) and from there to spaces, galaxies, seven skies and far beyond the reach of so called modern technologies, within a very short period of a night. Prophet Muhammad (s) experienced both physical and spiritual journey in which he met many prophets of olden ages like Eesa (Jesus) and Moosa (Moses) and He stood imam for prayer in Al-aqsa Mosque.


The Muslim world celebrates Rajab 27 and fall in worships of zikr and fasting with due respects and remembrance of this miraculous journey. This journey was very decisive stage in the history of Prophet Muhammad (s) as it caused many people to embrace Islam.

Prophet’s companion like Abu-Bakr Siddique (r) became most truthful believer after this incident as even while disbelievers started mocking at Muslims saying about the journey, Abu- Bakr (r) and other companions, with no further seeks, extremely believed and it helped them increase their Ee-man (belief) in Islam.

On Mi-raj night, the messenger of Allah has traveled from the sacred mosque in Makkah to the sacred mosque Al-Aqsa in Jerusalem on a special creature (a vehicle) called Al-Buraq. In this sacred journey, Jibreel (Gabriel) was accompanying Prophet Muhammad (s). On the way, near to Zam Zam well in Makkah, Prophet Muhammad (s) was subjected to a surgery that was to enlighten His hearts so as to prepare him to meet Allah. Prophet Muhammad (s) was subjected for four sacred surgeries in his life, none of them was to cure any disease or for purifying him from any sins, but instead, all these surgeries were done to enlighten His hearts for revelation. Prophet Muhammad (s) was extremely infallible and Allah has purified him from doing any sins. (islamxplored will shortly post articles regarding Prophet’s surgeries and his infallibility).

Holy Quran says:

سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَىٰ بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِّنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ

“Glorified (and Exalted) be He (Allâh) [above all that (evil) they associate with Him] Who took His slave (Muhammad SAW) for a journey by night from Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (at Makkah) to the farthest mosque (in Jerusalem), the neighbourhood whereof We have blessed, in order that We might show him (Muhammad SAW) of Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, etc) Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer” (17:1)



The Isra and Miraj Journey was to Jerusalem

Very recently, I came across an article published in Jewishpost saying that Prophet Muhammad’s Isra and Miraj journey was to Makkah only and not to Jerusalem. Off course, Jews and Zionists would attempt their maximum to argue that Jerusalem is not significant to Islam. Holy Quran, Hadith, Islamic histories and Scholars sayings and everything that are significant to Islam proved that Prophet’s journey was to sacred mosque in Jerusalem. But, the new argument appeared on the Jewsihpost sounds as fun as a wrong attempt.

It is very clear from the above Holy Quran verse that Prophet Muhammad (s) was carried from Makkah to Masjid Al-Aqsa in Jerusalem. Based on this verse, all Quran commentators have clearly pointed out, with due referencing on Hadiths, that Prophet’s journey was to Masjidul Aqsa that situates in Jerusalem and also because Holy Quran itself denotes this with the verse “the neighbourhood whereof We have blessed”. All commentators describe that, Masjidual Aqas’s surroundings have been blessed by Almighty Allah with presents of many prophets who paved the ways to true religion. This Holy Quran verse also proves that Holy Prophets who had died are very significant to Islam as they are sacred and the places their tombs situate are also blessed.

Ahlu-Sunnat Wal Jama'at

The Ahl as-Sunnat Wal Jama’at is the largest group of Muslims and the only group whose beliefs and teachings are truly in accordance with the Noble Qur’an and Sunnah of the Most Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam). The beliefs of this group are the same as the beliefs of the Sahaba or Noble Companions of the Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu alaihi wa Sallam) and the Salf-e-Saliheen (our great pious predecessors). In many Ahadith,the Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) strongly advised the Muslims to follow his Sunnah and to remain steadfast upon the path of his Sahaba, the Salf-e-Saliheen.



1. Hazrat Abdullah Ibn-e-Abbas says that the Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon Him) addressed the people at the time of last hajj“O people! I’m leaving behind among you, the Holy book (Quran) and the Sunnah. If you follow these in letter and spirit, you will never be strayed.” (Hakim Al-Mustadrik Book#1 Hadith # 318)


2. The Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Follow the way of the largest group of Muslims! For, he who deviates from this group will be thrown into Hell!” [Sunnan Ibn Majah, Hadith # 3950]
3. The Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Allah will never allow my Ummah to unite upon misguidance and incorrect beliefs. Allah’s mercy, blessings and protection are with the largest group of Muslims. And he who deviates from this largest group of Muslims will be thrown into Hell.” (Sunan Al Tirmizi Vol.2 Pg.39)


4. The Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “He who deviates from the largest group of Muslims, even as much as a hand span, has himself cut off his connection with Islam”. (Abu Dawud)


5. Allah will never let my Ummah agree upon misguidance, and the hand of Allah is over the group (Jama'ah), so follow the great mass of believers (Sawad ul-'Azam), and whoever dissents from them departs to hell(al-Tirmidhi (4/2167) a narration authenticated and reported by al-Hakim (1/116), and al-Dhahabi agreed with him, Scholars explained that Sawad al Azam here refers to great Ulama




6. عليك بالجماعة فإن الله عز وجل لم يجمع أمة محمد على ضلالة




Translation: Hadrat Abu Masud (RA) narrates: Stick to the Jamaat because Allah azza Wajjal will “NEVER GATHER THE UMMAH OF MUHAMMAD (PEACE BE UPON HIM) UPON MISGUIDANCE” [Imam Tabarani in his Mu’jam al Kabir, Volume No. 17, Page No. 240] – Imam al Haythami declared all the Rijaal of this hadith as “THIQA” [Majma (5/394, Hadith # 9107)]




The above mentioned Hadiths without doubt make clear which group the Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) had indicated as being the group of 'Paradise', 'Majority Group' & the group of 'Salvation'. For the benefit of any doubting individuals, let it be known, that, no great Imam or scholar of the golden age of Islam ever rejected the above Hadiths as being weak in narration or otherwise impaired in anyway, on contrary the great Imams have whole heartedly accepted these hadiths and further more commented on them.


We shall quote the sayings of the great & illustrious Awliya and Imams of the Muslims as regards to the above mentioned Hadiths.


1. As-Sayyad Shaykh Abd'al-Qadir al-Jilani (Radi Allahu ta'ala anhu) (470AH) says in his famous book Ghuniyya-t at-Talibeen "There are 73 groups as foretold by Sayyadina Rasulullah (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam). The group which will be saved from the fire of Hell is the Ahl as-Sunnah Wal Jama'ah."


2. Imam Ghazzali (Radi Allahu anhu) (450AH-505AH) in his book Mujarribaate Imam Ghazzali states " The Ahl as-Sunnah Wal Jama'ah is the sucessful group and it is this group which weighs or determines its thoughts and its mind according to the scales of the Noble Quran."


3. Imam Sufyan Souri (Radi Allahu anhu)(95AH-161AH) in his book Al Mizaan al-Qubra states " By Sawad-e-A'zam is meant those who are called the Ahl as-Sunnah Wal Jama'ah."


4. Shaykh al-Islam Ahmad ibn Hajar al-Haytami (d. 974/1567; R. A.)


Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Haytami defined the Sunni Muslims as follows in his book Fath al-jawad: "A Mubtadi (innovator) is the person who does not have the faith (Aqeedah) conveyed unanimously by the Ahl as-Sunnah. This unanimity was transmitted by the two great Imam's Abu'l Hasan al-Ashari (d.324/936; Rahimahullah) and Abu Mansur al- Maturidi (d.333/944; Rahimahullah) and the scholars who followed their path." Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Haytami also said in his book al- Fatawa al-Hadithiyya (pg. 205): "'Man of bid'ah' means one whose beliefs are different from the Ahl as-Sunnah faith. The Ahl as- Sunnah faith, is the faith of Abu'l Hasan al-Ashari, Abu Mansur al- Maturidi and those who followed them. One who brings forth something which is not approved by Islam becomes a man of bid'ah."


5. Ibn Taymiyya, in his Aqeedat-il-Wasitiyyah (pg. 154) says: "Their creed is the religion of Islam which was sent to the world by Allah through the Prophet (Peace be upon him). But the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, 'My Ummah will get divided into 73 sects and each one will go to Hell save one and that one is the Jama'at.' Also in one Hadith he said, 'They are those people who will follow this path which I and my Sahaba follow today.' Therefore they have caught hold of Islam unalloyed from every adulteration and these are the people of Ahl as-Sunnah Wa'l Jama'ah. This group includes the truthful, the martyrs and the virtuous; it includes the minarets of guidance, lamps in the darkness and owners of such superiorities and virtues who have been already mentioned. It includes the saints and also those Imams on whose guidance Muslims are unanimous. It is this successful group about which the Prophet (Peace be upon him) has said: 'One group from my Ummah will always remain dominant with truth; the opponents will never be able to harm its members or afflict them up to the Doomsday.'"


6. Imam Rabbani Mujaddid Alf Thanni (Radi Allahu anhu)(971AH-1034AH) states in his famous book Maktubaat " The way of Salvation is followance of the Ahl as-Sunnah Wal Jama'ah. May Almighty Allah bestow blessings upon the Ahl as-Sunnah Wal Jama'ah, in their speech, in their actions, laws, for this is the successful group. Besides this, all other groups have become victims of deception. Today, nobody realizes how much these misled groups will be punished, however, on the Day of Judgment this secret will become apparent. Even though at that time this knowledge will be of no benefit to the misled."


"It is compulsory for the wise people to amend their beliefs to be in accordance with the beliefs of the Ahl as-Sunnah Wa Jama'ah because this is the only group which will be saved from the fire of Hell." None of the Sahaba, the Salaf-e-Saliheen or the pious scholars of Islam followed the new ideas or beliefs. They strictly abstained from the groups who followed these deviated ideas and beliefs. Their beliefs and actions opposed these new ideas and beliefs. All the great scholars of Hadith and the great scholars of Fiqh of the four Schools of thought and their followers, all held the belief of the Ahl as-Sunnah Jama'ah. In addition, all the great pious Muslims and the Sufi Saints of the past and present, followed the way of the Ahl as-Sunnat Wal Jama'ah. Their great literary works stand witness to this fact." Also the believes of Ahl as sunnah are present on this website.

Istighatha

Istighatha is another form of Tawassul in which the help is sought from the Anbiya (prophets) or Auliya (those who are near Allah in rank) of Allahu subhanahu wa ta ‘ala by the virtue of their Mu’ajizath ( the miracles of the prophets) or Karamath(The miracles of the Auliyas). According to all of the Imams and scholars of Ahlussunna, Istighatha from the pious before or after their demise is permissible and is recommended. No one asserted against it till Ibnu Taimiyya came in the 6th century of Islamic calendar. Quran and Sunna never protested or disapproved this activity which is agreed by the Ijma’a of the Ummat, which is considered to be one of the proofs of Islam as The Messenger told that his Ummat will not agree on the wrong deeds. Moreover the tradition of The messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and the history of the Sahaba ( the followers of Muhammed صلى الله عليه وسلم at his time) and our predecessors described many instances of seeking help from the living and the dead. Firstly let us take the opinions of the great former scholars of this Ummat.


Opinions of the Scholars

Imam Subki who lived before 700 ago says:
اعلم أنه يجوز ويحسن التوسل والاستغاثة والتشفع بالنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم الى ربه سبحانه وتعالى وجواز ذالك وحسنه من الأمو
 المعلومة لكل ذي دين المعروفة من فعل الأنبياء والمرسلين وسير السلف الصالحين والعلماء والعوام من المسلمين ولم ينكر ذالك من أهل الأديان ولا سمع في زمن من الازمان حتى جاء ابن تيمية فتكلم في ذالك بكلام يلبس فيه على الضعفاء (شفاء السقام 133 )

“ Know! Tawassul and Istighatha are permissible and good. And seeking the intercession to Allah by The Messenger also is permissible and good. Its goodness and permissibility are among the known things to everyone who is religious and known from the activities of prophets and messengers and the life of the pious and scholars and the public of the Muslim society. No one of the religious refused it and in no time the refusal was heard till the advent of Ibnu Taimiyya. Then he talked about it and created confusion over the weak. (Shifa’u ssaqam 133)

Imam Ramli (r) lived before 500 years ago says:

(فأجاب بأن الاستغاثة بالأنبياء والمرسلين والأولياء والعلماء والصالحين جائزة وللرسل والأنبياء والأولياء والصالحين اغاثة بعد موتهم لأن معجزة الأنبياء وكرامات الأولياء لا تنقطع بموتهم أما الأنبياء فلأنهم أحياء في قبورهم يصلون ويحجون كما وردت به الأخبار (فتاوى الرملي 3-382)

"To seek help with the prophets, messengers, Auliyas and the scholars and the pious is permissible. And the, messengers, prophets, Auliyas and the pious can help after their death because the Mu’ajizath ( The miracles of the prophets) and the Karamath (extraordinary things of Auliyas) will not cut off with death. And the prophets are alive in their graves. They are performing Salat and Pilgrimage. Such Traditions have come to us.” (Fatawa Ramli)

Qur’aan &Hadeeth

If we search the history of the Sahaba we can see that they sought help from The Messenger(صلى الله عليه وسلم ) before and after his demise.

حدثني ربيعة بن كعب الاسلمي قال كنت أبيت مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فأتيه بوضوئه وحاجته فقال لي سل فقلت أسألك مرافقتك في الجنة.قال أوغير ذالك؟ قلت هو ذاك فقال فأعني على نفسك بكثرة السجود. (مسلم1-206)

Rabee’a bin Ka’ab al Aslami ® reports. He said : One night I was with The Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم ). I brought him water for his Wudu and his needs. Then he told “Ask”. I told. “ I request you your friendship in Paradise.” Then he asked. “Anything else?”. I told. “That is enough”.Then he replied “ Then help me yourself by increasing Sujood (Salat)”.[Muslim 1-206]

This Hadeeth clearly teaches the permissibility of asking help from a person though it is beyond the reach of common man.

Now see another Hadeeth

عن عبد الله بن عمر رضي الله عنه قال قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أن الشمس تدنو يوم القيامةحتى يبلغ العرق نصف الأذن فبينماهم كذالك استغاثوا بأدم ثم بموسى ثم بمحمد صلى الله عليه



وسلم (بخاري4-544)

Abdullahi bin umar® reports. The Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم told “The Sun will come nearer in the Last Day. The sweat will reach into the half of the ear. During the time the people will seek help from Adam (A) then Moosa (A) then Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم

Take another Hadeeth reported by Malik Radhiyallahu anhu


عن مالك قال أصاب الناس قحط في زمن عمر فجاء رجل الى قبرالنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال يا رسول الله استسق لأمتك فانهم قد هلكوا فأتاه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في المنام فقال ائت عمر فاقرأه مني السلام وأخبرهم أنهم مسقون وقل عليك بالكيس الكيس فأتى الرجل فأخبر عمر فقال يا رب ما ألو الا ما عجزت عنه وهذا اسناد صحيح ( البداية والنهاية7-111)

Malik reports: During the reign of Umar (Radhiyallahu anhu) the people suffered from drought. Then a person came to the grave of The Propher صلى الله عليه وسلم and said: “ Oh! The Messenger of Allah! Seek water for your community, because they have perished. Then The Messenger came to him in his dream and said: “You go to Umar and say to him my salam and tell him they will be given rain.” Then he reached Umar ® and told him what happened. Ibnu Katheer says this Hadeeth is authentic with the accepted chain. (Al Hidaya wa Nnihaya 7/111)


When Umar (Radhiyallahu anhu) was told about the incident he did not utter a word of distaste on his part. If the invoking the help was Shirk, can we believe that Umar (Radhiyallahu anhu) would keep mum?. Remember what The Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم told about him “ The Satan will not enter the way Umar enters.

Let us take Ibnu Katheer once more. He describes the 63rd verse of the Sura Al Nnisa’a:

(ولو أنهم اذظلموا أنفسهم) الأية يرشد تعالى العصاة والمذنبين اذا وقع منهم الخطأ والعصيان أن يأتوا الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فيستغفروا الله عنده ويسألون أن يستغفر لهم فانهم اذا فعلوا ذالك تاب الله عليهم ورحمهم وغفر لهم ولهذا قال (لوجدوا الله توابا رحيما ) وقد ذكر جماعة منهم الشيخ أبو منصور الصباغ في كتابه الشامل الحكاية المشهورة عن العتبى قال كنت جالسا عند قبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فجاء أعرابي فقال السلام عليك يا رسول الله سمعت الله يقول (ولو أنهم اذ ظلموا أنفسهم جاءوك فاستغفروا الله واستغفر لهم الرسول لوجدواالله توابا رحيما ) وقد جئتك مستغفرا لذنبي مستشفعا بك الى ربي. (ابن كثير 1-532)

By this Verse Allah guides those who commit sins. If there occurs a sin or mistake they should come to The Messenger of Allah and they should ask Allah near The Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam for His forgiveness to them. And also they should invoke The Prophet Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam to ask Him to forgive them. If they do so Allah will accept their repentance and give them mercy and forgiveness. That is why Allah said ( They will find Him as forgiving and merciful). And a group of scholars quoted ( Sheikh Abu Mansoor is one among them, in his Kitab Ashamil) a famous statement from Utba. He said “ I was sitting near the grave of The Prophet Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam. Then an A’arabi came and said. “Assalamu Alaika Ya Rasoolallah-May The Peace of Allah be upon You. I have heard Allah told (And if, when they had wronged themselves, they had but come unto thee and asked forgiveness of Allah, and asked forgiveness of the messenger, they would have found Allah Forgiving, Merciful ) So I came to you seeking forgiveness asking intercession by you to Allah”. ( Ibnu Katheer 1/532)



If this Invocation to The Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was Shirk would Ibnu Kathir report this incident in his Tafseer?

Ibnu Kathir himself reports another incident.


قال الامام أحمد حججت خمس حجج منها ثلاث راجلا أنفقت في احدى هذه الحجج ثلاثين درهما قال وقد ضللت في بعضها عن الطريق وأنا ماش فجعلت أقول يا عباد الله دلوني على الطريق فلم أزل أقول ذالك حتى وقفت على الطريق( البداية والنهاية 10-418)

Imam Ahmad told: I have performed hajj (pilgrimage) five times of which three were on foot. I have spent 30 Dirhams in one Hajj. In one of my pilgrimages I lost my way. And I was walking. Then I began to tell “ O the servants of Allah, help me on my way. And I continued this till reach the way.

No one will say that Imam Ahmad sought the help from the people seen. But he invoked the help from the unseen servants of Allah – dead or alive, because if it were a commonplace request he would not describe it in such manner.

Medicine / Translation of Sahihul Bhukhari

Volume 7, Book 71, Number 582:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet once came out to us and said, "Some nations were displayed before me. A prophet would pass in front of me with one man, and another with two men, and another with a group of people. and another with nobody with him. Then I saw a great crowd covering the horizon and I wished that they were my followers, but it was said to me, 'This is Moses and his followers.' Then it was said to me, 'Look'' I looked and saw a big gathering with a large number of people covering the horizon. It was said, "Look this way and that way.' So I saw a big crowd covering the horizon. Then it was said to me, "These are your followers, and among them there are 70,000 who will enter Paradise without (being asked about their) accounts. " Then the people dispersed and the Prophet did not tell who those 70,000 were. So the companions of the Prophet started talking about that and some of them said, "As regards us, we were born in the era of heathenism, but then we believed in Allah and His Apostle . We think however, that these (70,000) are our offspring." That talk reached the Prophet who said, "These (70,000) are the people who do not draw an evil omen from (birds) and do not get treated by branding themselves and do not treat with Ruqya, but put their trust (only) in their Lord." then 'Ukasha bin Muhsin got up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Am I one of those (70,000)?" The Prophet said, "Yes." Then another person got up and said, "Am I one of them?" The Prophet said, " 'Ukasha has anticipated you."
