The Command to say Salah upon the Prophet  (Peace be upon him)

Al-Bukhari said: "Abu Al-` Aliyah said: "Allah's Salah is His praising him before the angels, and the Salah of the angels is their supplication. '' Ibn ` Abbas said: "They send blessings. '' Abu ` Isa At -Tirmidhi said: "This was narrated from Sufyan Ath-Thawri and other scholars, who said: ` The Salah of the Lord is mercy, and the Salah of the angels is their seeking forgiveness. There are Mutawatir Hadiths narrated from the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) commanding us to send blessings on him and how we should say Salah upon him. We will mention as many of them as we can, if Allah wills, and Allah is the One Whose help we seek. In his Tafsir of this Ayah, Al-Bukhari recorded that Ka` b bin ` Ujrah said, "It was said, `O Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him), with regard to sending Salam upon you, we know about this, but how about Salah' He said:

 (Say: "O Allah, send Your Salah upon Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and upon the family of Muhammad (Peace be upon him), as You sent Your Salah upon the family of Ibrahim, verily You are the Most Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. O Allah, send Your blessings upon Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and upon the family of Muhammad (Peace be upon him), as You sent Your blessings upon the family of Ibrahim, verily You are Most Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. '')'' Imam Ahmad recorded that Ibn Abi Layla said that Ka` b bin ` Uj rah met him and said, "Shall I not give you a gif t The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) came out to us and we said, `O Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him)! We know how to send Salam upon you, but how can we send Salah' He said:

(Say: "O Allah, send Your Salah upon Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and upon the family of Muhammad (Peace be upon him), as You sent Your Salah upon the family of Ibrahim, verily You are the Most Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. O Allah, send Your blessings upon Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and upon the family of Muhammad (Peace be upon him), as You sent Your blessings upon the family of Ibrahim, verily You are Most Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. '')'' This Hadith has been recorded by the Group in their books with different chains of narration.

Another Hadith

Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Sa` id Al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "We said, `O Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him), this is the Salam upon you, but how do we send Salah upon you' He said:

(Say: "O Allah, send Your Salah upon Muhammad (Peace be upon him), Your servant and Messenger, as You sent Your Salah upon the family of Ibrahim, and send Your blessings upon Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and upon the family of Muhammad (Peace be upon him), as You sent Your blessings upon the family of Ibrahim. '')'' Abu Salih narrated that Layth said:

(Upon Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and upon the family of Muhammad (Peace be upon him) as You sent Your blessings upon the family of Ibrahim. ) Ibrahim bin Hamzah told that , Ibn Abi Hazim and Ad-Darawardi told, that Yazid, i.e. , Ibn Al-Had said:

(As You sent Your Salah upon Ibrahim, and send Your blessings upon Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and the family of Muhammad (Peace be upon him), as You sent Your blessings upon Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. ) This was also recorded by An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah.

Another Hadith

Imam Ahmad recorded from Abu Humayd As-Sa`idi that they said: "O Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him), how can we send Salah upon you'' He said,

(Say: "O Allah, send Your Salah upon Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and his wives and offspring, as You sent Your Salah upon Ibrahim, and send Your blessings upon Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and his wives and offspring, as You sent Your blessings upon the family of Ibrahim, verily You are Most Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. '')'' It was also recorded by the rest of the Group, apart from At -Tirmidhi.

Another Hadith

Muslim recorded that Abu Mas` ud Al-Ansari said: "We came to the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) and we were with Sa` d bin ` Ubadah. Bashir bin Sa` d said to him, ` Allah has commanded us to send Salah upon you, O Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him). How can we send Salah upon you' The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) remained quiet for so long that we wished that he had not asked him, then the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said:

(Say: "O Allah, send Your Salah upon Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and upon the family of Muhammad (Peace be upon him), as You sent Your Salah upon the family of Ibrahim, and send Your blessings upon Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and upon the family of Muhammad (Peace be upon him), as You sent Your blessings upon the family of Ibrahim among all people, verily You are Most Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. '' And the Salam is as you know. )'' This was also recorded by Abu Dawud, An-Nasa'i, At -Tirmidhi and Ibn Jarir. At -Tirmidhi said, "It is Hasan Sahih. ''

Saying Salah upon the Prophet  (Peace be upon him) before the Supplication

Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud and At -Tirmidhi reported the following Hadith and graded it Sahih; An-Nasa'i, Ibn Khuzaymah and Ibn Hibban recorded in their Sahihs that Fadalah bin ` Ubayd, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) heard a man making supplication in his prayer when he had not praised Allah or said Salah upon the Prophet  (Peace be upon him) . The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said:

 (This man is rushing. ) Then he called him over and said, to him or to someone else,

(When any one of you supplicates, let him start by praising and glorifying Allah, may He be exalted, then let him send Salah upon the Prophet  (Peace be upon him) , and after that let him make supplication as he wishes. )''

The Virtue of saying Salah upon the Prophet  (Peace be upon him)

Another Hadith At -Tirmidhi recorded that Ubayy bin Ka` b said: "When two thirds of the night had passed, the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) would get up and say,

(O people, remember Allah, remember Allah, the first blast of the Trumpet has come and will be followed by the second blast , death has come with all its horrors, death has come with all its horrors. )'' Ubayy said, "I said, `O Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him), I send a lot of Salah upon you, how much of my prayer should be Salah upon you' He said,

(Whatever you want . ) I said, ` A quarter' He said,

(Whatever you want , but if you increase it , it will be better for you. ) I said, ` Half ' He said,

 (Whatever you want , but if you increase it , it will be better for you. ) I said, ` Two thirds' He said,

(Whatever you want , but if you increase it , it will be better for you. ) I said, ` Should I make my whole prayer for you' He said,

(This would be sufficient to relieve your distress and earn you forgiveness of your sins. )'' Then he said: "This is a Hasan Hadith. ''

Another Hadith

Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Talhah said that the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) came one day looking happy. They said, "O Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him), we see that you look happy. '' He said,

(The angel came to me and told me, "O Muhammad (Peace be upon him), would it not please you if your Lord, may He be glorified, says: ` No member of your Ummah sends Salah upon you but I send Salah upon him tenfold, and no member of your Ummah sends greetings of Salam upon you but I send greetings of Salam upon him tenfold''' I said, "Of course. '') This was also recorded by An-Nasa'i.

Another Chain of Narration

Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Talhah Al-Ansari said: "One morning the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) was in a cheerful mood and looked happy. They said, `O Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him), this morning you are in a cheerful mood and look happy. ' He said,

(Of course just now someone) an angel  (came to me from my Lord and said, "Whoever among your Ummah sends Salah upon you, Allah will record for him ten good deeds and will erase for him ten evil deeds, and will raise his status by ten degrees, and will return his greeting with
something similar to it . '')'' This is also a good chain, although they (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) did not report it .

Another Hadith

Muslim, Abu Dawud, At -Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i recorded that Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said:

(Whoever sends one Salah upon me, Allah will send ten upon him. ) At -Tirmidhi said: "This is a Sahih Hasan Hadith. On the same topic, narrations come from ` Abdur-Rahman bin ` Awf , ` Amir
bin Rabi` ah, ` Ammar, Abu Talhah, Anas and Ubayy bin Ka`b. ''

Another Hadith

Imam Ahmad recorded from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet  (Peace be upon him) said:

(Send Salah upon me, for this is Zakah for you, and ask Allah to grant me Al-Wasilah, for it is a posit ion in the highest part of Paradise which only one man will attain, and I hope that I will be the one. ) This was recorded only by Ahmad

Another Hadith

Imam Ahmad recorded that Al-Husayn bin ` Ali said that the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said:

(The miser is the one in whose presence I am mentioned, then he does not send Salah upon me. ) Abu Sa` id said:

(. . .and he does not send Salah upon me. ) This was also recorded by At -Tirmidhi, who then said:
"This Hadith is Hasan Gharib, Sahih. ''

Another Hadith

At -Tirmidhi recorded that Abu Hurayrah said: "The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said:

(May he be humiliated, the man in whose presence I am mentioned and he does not send Salah upon me; may he be humiliated, the man who sees the month of Ramadan come and go, and he is not forgiven; may he be humiliated, the man whose parents live to old age and they do not
cause him to be granted admittance to Paradise. )'' Then he (At -Tirmidhi) said: "Hasan Gharib. ''

Occasions for saying Salah upon Him

It is reported that we should send blessings upon him on many occasions, such as following the call to prayer, as in the Hadith recorded by Imam Ahmad from ` Abdullah bin ` Amr bin Al-` As, who said that he heard the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) say:

(When you hear the Mu'adhdhin, repeat what he says, then send Salah upon me, for whoever sends Salah upon me, Allah will send Salah upon him tenfold. Then ask Allah to grant me Al-Wasilah, which is a status in Paradise to which only one of the servants of Allah will be entitled, and I hope that I will be the one. Whoever asks Allah for Al-Wasilah for me, it will be permit ted for me to intercede for him. ) This was recorded by Muslim, Abu Dawud, At –Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i. Other occasions when we should send Salah upon the Prophet  (Peace be upon him)  include when entering or exiting the Masjid, because of the Hadith recorded by Imam Ahmad from Fatimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) who said: "When the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) entered the Masjid, he would send Salah and Salam upon Muhammad (Peace be upon him), and say,

(O Allah, forgive me my sins and open for me the gates of Your mercy) When he exited, he would send Salah and Salam upon Muhammad (Peace be upon him), and say,

(O Allah, forgive me my sins and open for me the gates of Your bounty. )'' We should also send Salah upon him during the Funeral prayer. The Sunnah is to recite Surat Al-Fatihah following the first Takbir, to send Salah upon the Prophet  (Peace be upon him) during the second Takbir, to make supplication for the deceased during the third Takbir, and in the fourth Takbir to say, "O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward, and do not test us after him. '' Ash-Shafi i, may Allah have mercy on him, recorded that Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunayf was told by one of the Companions of the Prophet  (Peace be upon him) that the Sunnah in the funeral prayer is for the Imam to pronounce the Takbir, then to recite Surat Al-Fat ihah silently after the first Takbir, then to send Salah upon the Prophet  (Peace be upon him) then to offer sincere supplication for the deceased, but not to recite any Qur'an in any of the Takbirs, then to conclude by saying Salam silent ly. An-Nasa'i also recorded this from Abu
Umamah, who said, "This is from the Sunnah, '' and he mentioned it . According to the correct view, such a statement reported from a Companion carries the ruling of Marfu`

It is recommended to conclude supplications with Salah upon the
Prophet  (Peace be upon him) .

At -Tirmidhi recorded that ` Umar bin Al-Khat tab said: "A supplication remains suspended between heaven and earth and does not ascend any further until you send Salah upon your Prophet  (Peace be upon him) .'' This was also narrated by Mu` adh bin Al-Harith from Abu Qurrah from Sa` id bin Al- Musayyib from ` Umar, as a saying of the Prophet  (Peace be upon him) . It was also recorded by Razin bin Mu` awiyah in his book, where he also attributed it to the Prophet  (Peace be upon him) reporting that he said:

(A supplication remains suspended between heaven and earth and does not ascend any further until a person sends Salah on me. Do not treat me like a spare water container, send Salah upon me at the beginning of your supplication, at the end and in the middle.) Sending Salah upon the Prophet  (Peace be upon him) is even more strongly encouraged in the Qunut supplication. Ahmad, the Sunan compilers, Ibn Khuzaymah, Ibn Hibban and Al-Hakim recorded that Al-Hasan bin ` Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) taught me some words to say during Al-Witr:

("O Allah, guide me along with those whom You have guided, grant me health along with those to whom You have granted health, be an ally to me along with those to whom You are an ally, and bless me for that which You have bestowed. Protect me from the evil You have decreed, for verily You decree and none can decree over You. Verily, he whom You show allegiance to is never abased and he whom You take as an enemy is never honored and mighty, O our Lord, blessed and Exalted are You. '')'' In his Sunan, An-Nasa'i has the addition,

("and may Allah bless Muhammad (Peace be upon him). '') at the end of this Qunut . It is also recommended to say plenty of Salah upon him on Friday and on the eve of Friday. Imam Ahmad recorded that Aws bin Aws Ath-Thaqaf i, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said:

(One of the best of your days is Friday; on this day Adam was created and died, on this day the Trumpet (Sur) will be blown and all will have swoon away. So on this day send plenty of Salah upon me, for your Salah will be presented to me. ) They said, `O Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him), how will
they be shown to you after your body has dispersed into the earth' He said,

(Allah has forbidden the earth to consume the bodies of the Prophet  (Peace be upon him)s. )'' This was also recorded by Abu Dawud, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Maj ah, and it was graded Sahih by Ibn Khuzaymah, Ibn Hibban, Ad-Daraqutni and An-Nawawi in Al-Adhkar.

Salafis(wahabi ahle hadees) are not Worshippers of Islam

It is in Hadith - "Jabir reported: I heard Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: Verily, the Satan has lost all hopes that the worshippers would ever worship (him) in the peninsula of Arabia, but he (is hopeful) that he would sow the seed of dissension amongst them.( SAHIH MUSLIM BOOK:039, “Kitab Sifat Al-Qiyamah wa'l Janna wa'n-Nar)” HADITH NO:- 6752)"

The above Hadith should not be interpreted that Salafis are on the right path of Islam. Read the following -


There are other Ahadith as follows:

Imam Bukhari (RU) has quoted this Hadith from Abdullah Ibn Umar (RU) that Prophet (SAWS) once prayed for Syria and Yemen. It is narrated that there were some people of Najd also present in the gathering and they requested the Prophet (SAWS) to make supplication (du'a) for Najd also. Prophet (SAWS) continued saying: ‘O! Allah, Shower Blessings on Syria and Yemen’. The people of Najd again requested the Prophet (SAWS) to offer prayers for Najd. The Prophet (SAWS) said: ‘It is a place of tremor and mischief (Fitna) and the Horn of Shaitaan will rise from there.’ (Bukhari, Vol - ii, P - 1050).

Allama Dahlan quoted a Hadith. ‘Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (RU) reported that the Prophet (SAWS) said, From the tribes that live in Waadi Hanifa, Fitna shall emerge till the final era. That valley shall be notorious for its fitna because of the rise of false leaders. (Addarus Sunniah, P- 52).

It is in Tirmizi. Hazrat Imraan, the son of Hazrat Haseen (RU) reports that the Prophet (SAWS) disliked three tribes life long, (i) Banu Saqeef, (ii) Banu Hanifa, and (iii) Banu Umayya.

It is reported in Mishkat from Hazrat Abu Said Khudri (RU) who narrates that, ‘Once we were in the presence and company of Prophet (SAWS). He was distributing booties (Spoils of War) when a person named Zul-Khawaisara, who was from the tribe of Banu Tamim addressed the Prophet (SAWS) ‘Oh Muhammad Be Just!’. The Prophet (SAWS) replied: ‘A Great pity that you have doubts; if I am unjust then who will be just; you are a loser and a failure’. Zul-Khawaisara's attitude infuriated Hazrat Umar (RU) and he pleaded with the Prophet (SAWS) to permit him to slay Zul-Khawaisara. The Prophet (SAWS) remarked: ‘Leave him, as his slaying will serve no good purpose, as he is not the only individual but there are a host of others like him and if you compare their prayers and fasting to that of yours, you yourself will feel ashamed. These are the people who will recite the Quran but it will not go beyond their throats, with all these apparent virtues they will leave the fold of Deen just like the arrow leaves the bow." (Miskhat, P. 535).

Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (RU) and Hazrat Anas (RU) report that the Prophet (SAWS) stated: ‘My Ummah is destined to differ and be divided. So a group will rise whose talks will sound very good but their character will be misleading. They will read the Quran but it will not descend below their throats (meaning they will not understand its meanings). They will leave Deen just as an arrow pierces and goes right through the prey. They will not return to Islam. They are the worst of creation because of their nature and constitution. They will call the people towards the Quran and Deen whilst in reality they will have nothing to do with Islam. Whoever will confront them, he will be the most beloved servant of Allah. The Sahaba inquired: "Ya Rasoolullah, (SAWS) what is their sign?" He replied: "Sitting in Halqa (circle). (Mishkat, p. 308).

There are many many such authentic Ahadith in authentic Ahadith books.

Thus, in view of the above, the interpretation of the Hadith of Muslim:

"Jabir reported: I heard Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: Verily, the Satan has lost all hopes that the worshippers would ever worship (him) in the peninsula of Arabia, but he (is hopeful) that he would sow the seed of dissension amongst them.( SAHIH MUSLIM BOOK:039, “Kitab Sifat Al-Qiyamah wa'l Janna wa'n-Nar)” HADITH NO:- 6752)"

will be as follows:

This Hadith is related to As-Haab-e-Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam). Look, in the text (matan) of Hadith, there is a word "Worshippers". Meaning, those who are on right Iman. The Hadith words are not 'people' (general people). This is the reason, Yazid (even though he belonged to such an earlier period) ordered the Killing of the grandson of Prophet (saws) in Kerbala. Killed thousands of pious Sahaba and their children in his attacks on Makka and Madina. He even destroyed Ka'abatullah.

Similarly, Salafis cannot be treated as "Worshippers" of Islam. As a matter of fact, they are the worshippers of a Sky Idol God who has a physical body. Thus, if a Wahhabi presents that Hadith in support of Salafism, this is wrong interpretation of the Hadith.

1.The Noble Quran.
2.Sahih Ahadith.
3.The amal of Salaf e Saliheen.
4.Tafaseer.
5.Proofs from Scholars of Those who claim Wearing Taweez is  Shirk.

ALLAH  says in the Noble Quran
1.“We sent down in the Quran that which is a CURE and mercy for the faithful”. (17:82)
2.“Say: For those who have faith, it (Quran) is a guidance and HEALING; but as for those who are faithless, there is a deafness in their ears and it is lost to their sight”. (41:44)

#2# FROM SAHEEH AHADITH

 Hadith 1. عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ: «عَلَيْكُمْ بِالشِّفَاءَيْنِ: الْعَسَلِ وَالْقُرْآنِ

Translation: Narrated by Abdullah Ibn Masud (ra) that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: Make use of the two cures i.e. the honey and Quran  [Sunnan Ibn Majah Volume No.2, Hadith No. 3531]

Hadith 2.

. أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا فَزِعَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي النَّوْمِ فَلْيَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ غَضَبِهِ وَعِقَابِهِ وَشَرِّ عِبَادِهِ وَمِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَأَنْ يَحْضُرُونِ فَإِنَّهَا لَنْ تَضُرَّهُ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ يُلَقِّنُهَا مَنْ بَلَغَ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَبْلُغْ مِنْهُمْ كَتَبَهَا فِي صَكٍّ ثُمَّ عَلَّقَهَا فِي عُنُقِهِ

Amr ibn Shu’ayb reported from his father, from his grandfather that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “If any of you gets a nightmare, let him say: I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah against His wrath and His punishment and the’ mischief of His slaves and from the temptations of the devils and that which they bring,

 Then they will not harm him.” So, Abdullah ibn Amr used to teach this supplication to his grown up children. And, he wrote it down on something and hung it on the neck of those who had not attained puberty.  [Abu Dawud 3893 ,sunan tirmidhi Chapter 99, hadith 3539] أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ وَالْحَاكِمُ وَقَالَ صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ

Abu Dawood [rah], Nasai [rah] and Al Hakim [rah] said the Isnad is SAHIH 

And قال ‏ ‏أبو عيسى ‏ ‏هذا ‏ ‏حديث حسن غريب ‏

Imam Tirmidhi after quoting it said: Abu Esa [rah] said the Hadith is Hasan Gharib


Hadith 3.

"When a person who was sick or in some distress they would go to the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) who would then place his hand on the area of pain and recite a du'a' and then blow onto him" [Bukhari; Muslim, Chapter of Tibb]

Hadith 4.

"When the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) was ill for the last time, Angel Jibril (peace be upon him) came and recited du'a' and blew on to the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)" [Muslim, Chapter of Tibb]

Hadith 5.

" 'A'isha (may Allah be pleased with her) relates that when the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) was ill for the last time, she recited Sura al-Falaq and Sura an-Nas and then blew on to the Prophet's (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) hands. The Prophet then blew this onto his own face and body because his hands had more blessing then 'A'isha's (may Allah be pleased with her)" [Muslim, Chapter of Tibb]

"Imam an-Nawawi in Sharh Muslim states:
'There are two types of ahadith concerning this [For eg.. “He who wears an amulet commits Shirk.” (Ahmad, 4/156) And he (peace be upon him) said: “Verily, incantations, amulets and Tiwalah are Shirk.” (Abu Dawood, no. 3883)]

It is transmitted in Bukhari: 'There will be people who will enter Paradise without any questioning, who have never been blown upon.' Imam Muslim has also recorded a hadith in support of those who do not ask to be blown upon.
Imam Bukhari in the chapter on Tibb [Medicine] has written du'as that our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) recited when doing damm [reciting a du'a and then blowing onto a person].
 Imam Muslim states in 'The Chapter on Virtues of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)' that: "When our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) was ill, the Angel Jibril came to him and performed the blowing."
 The above types of ahadith apparently seem to contradict each other but in reality there is no contradiction as the one which contain quran are allowed and the those which contain polytheistic things written in it is shirk. (see hadith no 7,8 below)

Allama Sa'idi in Sharh Sahih Muslim says :
"The former type of hadith refers to the prohibition of having read something that is not from the Qur'an and Sunna [i.e.something that has pictures, diagrams or words not from the Qur'an or Sunna] and then blow upon someone.
The latter types of ahadith which permit damm refer to those kalimat [words or verses] which have been taught by the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)" [Allama Sa'idi, Sharh Sahih Muslim, Chapter of Tibb]

Hadith no 6.

"Amr ibn Shu'aib (may Allah be pleased with him) said that 'Rasulu'llah(may Allah bless him and grant him peace) taught my father and grandfather a du'a which we would read before going to sleep, to protect us from fear and anguish.We told our elder children to recite this du'a before going to sleep as well.But for those children who were not yet literate, we would write it and then put it around their necks" [Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal vol.2,Abu Dawud, in 'Chapter of Medicine']

Hadith 7.
Jabir said: “I had an uncle who used to treat people with incantations for the scorpion’s sting. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade incantations, he came to him and asked him: ‘O Messenger of Allah, You have forbidden incantations, and I treat those who are stung by scorpions with incantations.’ He (peace be upon him) said: ‘He who can help his brother, let him do so.’ (Sahih Muslim, no. 2199)

Hadith 8.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “There is no harm in incantations as long as they do not include Shirk. (Sahih Muslim, no. 2200)


#3#FROM THE AMAL OF SALAF E SALIHEEN...
 
The permissibility of hanging Ta’wizes is reported from many of the Companions and early Muslims (Salaf), including: Sa’id ibn al-Musayyab, Ata', Mujahid, Abd Allah ibn Amr, Ibn Sirin, Ubaydullah ibn Abd Allah ibn Umar, and others (Allah be well pleased with them all).     [Al-Musannaf ibn Abi Shayba, 5.439].


#4# FROM TAFASEER ....

1.Imam al-Qurtubi  says
"The ta'wiz that are forbidden are those ta'wiz from the Time of Ignorance -]those which are satanic and contain an element of shirk [mantar, voodoo and magic, etc.]. The ta'wiz, which are permitted are those written with du'as evidently from Qur'an and ahadith only" [al-Qurtubi, at-Tadhkirat, chapter on 'Ta'wiz']

2.Allama Alusi al-Hanafi says
  "According to Imam Malik 'It is permitted to put around the neck the ta'wiz written with the name of Allah.' Imam Baqir also stated that it is permitted to put such a ta'wiz around the neck of a child" [Ruh al-Mani, chapter 15, under Sura al-Mu'minun, verse 97]

3. Hafiz Ibn Kathir says
 "Amr ibn Shu'aib (may Allah be pleased with him) said that 'Rasulu'llah(may Allah bless him and grant him peace) taught my father and grandfather a du'a which we would read before going to sleep, to protect us from fear and anguish.We told our elder children to recite this du'a before going to sleep as well.But for those children who were not yet literate, we would write it and then put it around their necks" [Tafsir Ibn Kathir, under Sura al-Mu'minun, verse 97)

4. Qadi Shawkani says
He too narrates the same hadith (.But for those children who were not yet literate, we would write it and then put it around their necks) under the ayah 97 of Surah Al uminun in Fath al-Qadir.


#5#What the Imams Of Ahle Hadith or Salafis say...

I. Ibn Taymiyya writes:
 1."It is permissible to [to recite du'a's and then] blow upon the sick in Islam, but the words must be from the Qur'an or ahadith. If the words are not, then it is not permissible" [Ibn Taymiyya, At-Tawassul, Chapter on Blowing onto the Sick]

2. “It is permissible for an ill or troubled person, that certain verses from the Qur’an are written with pure ink, then it is washed and given to the ill to drink.Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) is reported to have mentioned a certain Dua that should be written and placed close to the woman who is experiencing hard labour at the time of giving birth. (Fatawa Ibn Taymiyya)

3.Sayyiduna Ali (Allah be pleased with him) says:  Dua should be written and tied to the arm of the woman. We have experienced that there is nothing more amazing than this” (Fatawa Ibn Taymiyya, 19/65). 

II. Ibn Qayyim al Jawziyyah(Student of Ibne Taymiyya) says:

Some of our rightly guided ancestors stated that there is no harm if some ayat (Verse) from the Qur’an were written in ink and then washed with water and that the sick person drinks that water. Mujahid issues a statement to that effect and so did Abu Qilabah. It was also reported that Ibn ‘Abbas once commanded that two verses from the Qur’an to be written for a woman who had hard pregnancies and that the verses were then washed with water and she was to drink the water. Also Ayub said, “I saw Abu Qilabah write some Verses from the Qur’an wash it with water and then give the water to a person who was suffering from some type of illness to drink it [Tibb an Nabawi by Ibn Qayyim, Page No. 154, English version]

         CONCLUSION :
There are overwhelming proofs from Quran , Sahih Ahadith ,Amal of Sahaba and that of Salafe Saliheen to know that Wearing Of Amulets is not only allowed but is Sunnah of the Salaf.
To call it Shirk would be an exaggeration and the Person accusing others of shirk should be aware that he himself could become a kafir in the light of hadith

1.Prophet Muhammad (Salalaho alehe wasalam) said : If a person says to his brother, O KAFIR (disbeliever) !  Then surely one of them is such. (i.e; Kafir) (Sahih Bukhari Volume 8 Book 73 Number 125)

2.Prophet Muhammad (Salalaho alehe wasalam) said : Any person who calls his brother: O Unbeliever! (then the truth of this label) would return to one of them. If it is true, (then it is) as he asserted, (but if it is not true), then it returns to him (and thus the person who made the accusation is an Unbeliever). [Sahih Muslim Book 001, Number 0117:]

Correct understanding of Faith

To think according to principle, to possess true faith and believe and accept the true Commands of Islam is known as "Aqeeda". It is also understood as one's intention, concept and path that one follows. It must also be understood that the basis of one's action is one's Imaan and that the basis of one's Imaan is one's Aqeeda. If one's Aqeeda is corrupt, then one's Imaan is improper and if one's Imaan is not proper, then his Amaal (actions) are useless. In other words, Aqeeda is the soul, Imaan is the body and Amal is the garb.
To have good and strong Imaan, one must have the proper Aqeeda. It is for this reason that we quote a few un-Islamic beliefs together with the proper Islamic answers, so that we may, after reading about them, repent from any false and corrupt beliefs that we may hold and, thereafter, hold firmly to the proper Islamic beliefs. To hold improper per Aqeeda leads to Kufr, whereas proper Aqeeda is strength for Imaan.

The un-Islamic beliefs which we have quoted below are quotations from those individuals who possess such beliefs and by writing them in this book, we have no intention of Kufr.

FALSE BELIEF 1: "Allah can speak lies". ("Barahine Qaatia" by Khaleel Ambetwi; "Yakrozi" by Ismaeel Dehlwi; "Fatawa Rasheedia" by Rasheed Ahmed Gangohi).
PROPER BELIEF 1: Lies is a defect which is not worthy of the Zaat of Almighty Allah and is totally Muhaal (Impossible) for Almighty Allah. Allah is free from all shortages and defects thus making lies Muhaal for Almighty Allah.
FALSE BELIEF 2: To say that Allah is free from place, space, direction and time, etc. is to be misled. ("Izaahul Haq" by Ismaeel Dehlw

PROPER BELIEF 2: Time and space have been created and will be eventually destroyed. Almighty Allah is Qadeem (Always Is and Always Will Be). If one accepts Allah to be in a fixed place and in a fixed time zone, then one will have to accept, Ma'az-Allah, that Allah is a creation and can be destroyed, whereas it is well known that, that which is Haadith (non-Eternal) and can be destroyed can never be Allah. The Being of Allah is Eternal and anything that is non-Eternal cannot be Allah. It is, thus, necessary to accept Almighty Allah to be free from time and place.
FALSE BELIEF 3: The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) had died and is mixed in the sand. ("Taqweeyat-ul Imaan" by Ismaeel Dehlwi)
PROPER BELIEF 3: It has been stated in the Hadith: "Verily, Almighty Allah has made it Haraam upon the earth to eat the bodies of the Ambiya". It has also been stated that Ambiya are alive and are blessed with Sustenance from Almighty Allah.
FALSE BELIEF 4: Every creation, no matter how big or small, is equivalent to a cobbler before Allah. ("Taqweeyat-ul Imaan" by Ismaeel Dehlwi)
PROPER BELIEF 4: The Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the most beloved Nabi of Almighty Allah. Almighty Allah took Qasm (Oath) even on the city of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). He is the greatest of the creations of Almighty Allah. His every word is accepted in the Court of Allah. He is a perfection in the Attributes of Almighty Allah and Allah has not created any unique being besides Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
FALSE BELIEF 5: Ambiya are not totally free from lies. To say that it is not possible for Ambiya to lie or to say that they are totally sinless is false. ("Tasfiyatul Aqaa'id" by Qasim Nanothwi)
PROPER BELIEF 5: Ambiya and Malaa'ikah are Masoom (Sinless). It is Muhaal for them to commit sin. Committing a sin is not a quality of Ambiya. Ambiya are free from all small and big sins and all defects even before and after their Nubuwat.
FALSE BELIEF 6: The Ummah sometimes supercede the Ambiya in A'maal (Good deeds). ("Tahzeerun Naas" by Qasim Nanotwi)
PROPER BELIEF 6: A Kaafir can never be equal to a Muslim. An ordinary Muslim is not equal to a practising Muslim. A practising Muslim can never be equal to a non-Aalim, who is not equal to an Aalim. An Aalim is never equal to a Wali, a Wali can never be equal to a Tabbe Taabi'ee. A Tabbe Taabi'ee can never be equal to a Taabi'ee. A Taabi'ee can never be equal to a Sahaba. A Sahaba can never be equal to the Khulafa-e-Arbaa. None from the Khulafa-e-Arbaa can be equal to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddique. He in turn can never be equal to a Nabi. No Nabi can be equal in any way to the King of Prophets, Muhammad Mustapha (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). How then can a Ummah supercede Nabi Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in good deeds? Ma'az-Allah!
FALSE BELIEF 7: To think of an ox and donkey in Salaah is permissible, but to think of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in Salaah is Shirk (Polytheism). ("Seerate Mustaqeem" by Ismaeel Dehlwi)
PROPER BELIEF 7: For a Muslim to perform any Ibaadat accepting that it is a noble action of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the true sense of Ibaadat. If one reads Namaaz thinking of it as the Sunnah of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), then, without doubt, one will think of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). This belief creates in the mind of the performer the thought of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Not only is the thought of the Prophet in Namaaz permissible, it is also the demand of Shari'ah that one must remember the Holy Prophet (salall laahu alaihi wasallam) at the time of Tashahud. According to the Fuqaha (Jurists) it is Waajib to believe that the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is observing you and that he is aware of your actions.
FALSE BELIEF 8: Any person who says the Nabi to be Haazir and Naazir is a Kaafir. ("Jawaahirul Quraan" by Ghulaamullah Khan)
PROPER BELIEF 8: Until and unless we do not accept Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as being Haazir and Naazir, the concept of Risaalat will be incomplete. Our Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is Shaahid, Mubashir and Nazeer.
FALSE BELIEF 9: Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is our elder brother and we are his younger brothers. ("Taqweeyatul Imaan" by Ismaeel Dehlwi)
PROPER BELIEF 9: The Holy Quran has commanded us that the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) cannot be regarded as the father of anyone of you. How then can he be regarded as the elder brother? Then, to call him elder brother is disrespect and against of Quranic command. We are the Ummati, he is the Nabi. We are sinners, he is the Masoom most pure. We are believers, he is the source of Imaan. The difference here is enormous. It must be understood, that if the husband takes his wife as his mother, then his Nikah will be nullified. Likewise, if one takes the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as the elder brother, then one's Imaan will be nullified.
FALSE BELIEF 10: To respect the Prophet deeply is Kufr. ("Ad Durrun Nadheed" by Qazi Shaukani)
PROPER BELIEF 10: The respect and reverence of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is not only waajib, but is an obligation upon every Muslim. Unless a person does not love the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) more than anyone and anything in the world, his Imaan will not be perfected. The love of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the first condition of Imaan.
FALSE BELIEF 11: The grave of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is an idol and to respect it is Kufr and Shirk. ("Ad Durrun Nadheed" by Qazi Shaukani)
PROPER BELIEF 11: Madinah is more exalted than Makkah; the Roza-e-Anwar more than the Kaaba; and the actual Qabr-e-Anwar is even more exalted than Jannat. The Qabr-e-Anwar is a sign from amongst the signs of Allah and to respect it is a sign of Imaan and Taqwa.
FALSE BELIEF 12: Any person who says, "As Salaatu Was Salaamu Alaika Ya Rasoolallah", is a Bid'ati and sinner. ("Akhbaar Ahle Hadith Amritsar")
PROPER BELIEF 12: Bukhari and Muslim narrate on the authority of Hazrat Uthman bin Haneef (radi Allahu anhu) that a Sahabi who was blind by birth was once taught a special Du'a by the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), which he was to recite after every Salaah. The Du'a is as follows: "O Allah, i ask from you, and turn towards you through the Wasila of Your Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), who is indeed a prophet of mercy. O Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)! with your Wasila, I turn towarsds Allah for my need so that it may be bestowed. O Allah, accept the Prophet's intercession for me".
To say "Ya Nabi" and call to the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), and to send salutations upon him, is the Sunnah of Almighty Allah, the Angels, the Prophets and the Sahaaba-e-Kiraam. Almighty Allah has commanded us to send salutations upon the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in abundance. To send Durood at least once in one's life is Fard and in Namaaz it is Waajib. It is also Waajib to send salutations out of Namaaz, for the fist time the name of the Prophet is mentioned. Even if the name is mentioned continuously, then to send salutations is Sunnah.
FALSE BELIEF 13: To ask assistance from the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the work of Shaitaan and Shirk. ("Kashfush Shubhaat" by Abdul Wahab Najdi; "Taqweeyatul Imaan" by Ismaeel Dehlwi)
PROPER BELIEF 13: "Ya Rasoolallahi Unzur Haalana, Ya Habeeballahi Isma Qaalana, Innani fir Bahri Hammim Mughriqun, Khuz Yaddi Sahhil lanaa Ishkaalana", has been the Wazeefa of the great predecessors and is accepted as a means of asking from the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). To seek assistance from the Prophet (salall laahu alaihi wasallam) and seek Wasila of Awliya and Saaliheen is permissable.
FALSE BELIEF 14: To use the Ambiya, Awliya and Malaa'ikah as a means of Wasila (Mediation). ("Tohfa-e-Wahaabiya" by Ismaeel Dehlwi)
PROPER BELIEF 14: We did not enter this world without means, and we will not leave this world without means. With the exception of the verse of the Quran commanding mediation, the following verses of Sheikh Bouseeri and Sheikh Saadi (radi Allahu anhuma) are always in the Du'as of Muslims: "Ya Rabbi bil Mustapha Baligh Maqasidana, Waghfirlana Ma Madaa Ya Waasi al Karami", and "Ilahi bahaqe bani Fathima, ke Barqaul Imaan Qunni Khatima, Agar Daawatam rad Kunni War Qabool, Manno Dast Damaane Aale Rasool".
FALSE BELIEF 15: Anyone who accepts the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) to be an intercessor for him on the Day of Qiyamah, is a Mushrik equal to Abu Jahl. ("Taqweeyatul Imaan")
PROPER BELIEF 15: When the intercession of a Hafizul Quran, according to the Hadith Shareef, and of an Aalim ba Amal is accepted, then why not that of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)? On the Day of Qiyamah, the doors of intercession will be opened by none other than the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). It is also very rewarding to recite Durood-e-Taaj.
FALSE BELIEF 16: "Rahmatul Lil Alameen" (Mercy unto the Worlds) is not a special title of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), but the Ummati are also "Rahmatul Lil Alameen". ("Fatawa Rasheedia")
PROPER BELIEF 16: "Rahmatul Lil Alameen" is the unique quality of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as stated in the Holy Quran.
FALSE BELIEF 17: To say that if Allah and His Rasool wills, then only will a certain thing happen, is Shirk.
PROPER BELIEF 17: That which Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) wants, is what Allah wills. Almighty Allah will not will anything without the pleasure of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
FALSE BELIEF 18: Those persons whose names are "Muhammad" or "Ali" have no control over anything. ("Taqweeyatul Imaan")
PROPER BELIEF 18: Almighty Allah has blessed the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) with the keys to the treasures of both the worlds and Hazrat Ali's (radi Allahu anhu) name is the means of assistance in problems, why then can they not have any control?
FALSE BELIEF 19: To keep the names: Rasool Baksh, Nabi Baksh, Abdun Nabi, Abdul Mustapha, Abdur Rasool, Abdul Ali, Ghulam Nabi, Ghulam Mustapha, Ghulam Nabi, Ghulam Husain, Ghulam Muhiyyudeen and Ghulam Mu'eenudeen, or to like such names, is Shirk. ("Taqweeyatul Imaan")
PROPER BELIEF 19: All these names are allowed and are very exalted and blessed names.
FALSE BELIEF 20: The knowledge of the Prophet is like children and animals. The knowledge of Shaitaan is more than the Prophet. To say that the Prophet possessed 'Ilm-e-Ghayb or Knowledge of the Unseen, is Shirk. ("Hifzul Imaan" by Ashraf Ali Thanwi; "Barahine Qaatia"; "Fatawa Rasheedia")
PROPER BELIEF 20: The meaning of the word "Nabi" alone is "one who knows and shows the Unseen". What position does the knowledge of an ordinary person hold in front of that of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)? It is even less than a drop in front of an ocean or a grain of dust compared to all the sand in the world. The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has been blessed with all the knowledge by Almighty Allah.
FALSE BELIEF 21: If Allah wills, then he may create a million Muhammads. ("Taqweeyatul Imaan") A Prophet can even come after Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). ("Tahzeerun Naas")
PROPER BELIEF 21: The doors of Prophethood have been sealed. Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the Seal of Prophethood. The Prophet also said that no Prophet shall come after him. Any person who claims Nabuwat after the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is a Liar, Dajjal Kazaab and a Shaitaan.
FALSE BELIEF 22: To commemorate the Meelad is like commemorating the function of the Hindu deity. ("Baharine Qaatia" by Khaleel Ambethwi)
PROPER BELIEF 22: Meelad is a means of gaining blessings and closeness to Almighty Allah. It is the practice of all the great predecessors. Many sources of Shari'ah are available to prove it's authencity.
FALSE BELIEF 23: The illusion of illusionists are greater than the Miracle of Prophets. ("Mansab-e-Imaamat")
PROPER BELIEF 23: The Miracles of Prophets are to show proof of their Prophethood and it is that which is from Allah, whereas the illusions of illusionists are from Shaitaan.
FALSE BELIEF 24: Anyone who says the Sahaba to be Kaafirs is not out of the Sunnah Jamaat. ("Fatawa Rasheedia")
PROPER BELIEF 24: By one calling an ordinary Muslim a Kaafir, he himself becomes a Kaafir. How then can those who call the Sahaba Kaafirs not be Kaafirs?
FALSE BELIEF 25: To call oneself "Qaaderi", "Chishti", "Naqshabandi", etc. is Bid'at and words of Kufr. ("Tazkeerul Ikhwaan")
PROPER BELIEF 25: To call oneself by these titles are totally allowed and is a means of recognition of ones spiritual order. Examples of these are: Siddiqi, Alawi, Uthmaani, Farooqi, Hanafi Shafa'i, etc.
FALSE BELIEF 26: To put lights, carpets, to give water and food, or arrange Wudhu water at the Mazaar of Awliyah Allah are Shirk.
PROPER BELIEF 26: If carry out all the above mentioned practices at other places are permissible, then it should be a means of blessing to do so at the Darbaar of Wali where there are a gathering of Muslims.
FALSE BELIEF 27: To eat and drink the Tabarukaat (Niyaz) of the Saints causes the heart to die (spiritually). ("Fatawa Rasheedia")
PROPER BELIEF 27: Eating the Niyaz of the Awliya brightens the heart and one's life and is a means of great blessing.
FALSE BELIEF 28: To call the Prophet "Shafi'ul Muznibeen", to recite Khatam, to imagine the blessed face and the Tomb of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), to think that he has authority - all these qualities, even with the granting of Allah Ta'ala - is all Shirk, so much like the Shirk of Abu Jahl. (Kitaabut-Tauheed by Ibne Abdul Wahab Najdi)
PROPER BELIEF 28: According to authentic sources of Islamic Shari'ah, to belief that Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is interceder, mercy, authority, helpful, and to imagine his blessed face and Tomb with respect, is regarded as a great and rewarding action. To recite Khatam Shareef is also permissable and rewarding as well. A person who denies this, his belief is like Abu Jahl.
 Note: To believe all these above mentioned false "Islamic" beliefs makes a person a hypocrite, Shia, Rafazi, Khaarijite, Qadiani, Ghair-Muqallid (Ahle Hadith),deobandi Tabligi, Deobandi, Maudoodi, Ahle Quran (People of Quran), etc. which are totally out of Islam. Any person who falsely claims to be the true Mahdi is misguided and a Faasiq. Any person who says that Allah can lie, that the Prophet's (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) knowledge are like those of animals, that the Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is not the Final Messenger, that the swearing of the Sahaba does not make one a criminal, that the Prophet's knowledge is less than Shaitaan, etc. IS A KAAFIR (totally out of the folds of Islam). We should not perform Salaah or associate with such persons as their companionship is detrimental to our Imaan.

THE HOLY PROPHET (SALLAL LAAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM) IS NOOR

Aqeedah;Prophet MuhammadSALLALLAH HU ALIHI WASALLAM}
THE HOLY PROPHET (SALLAL LAAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM) IS NOOR
Some persons believe that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is only a human being and not Noor (light). They say so based on the reason that the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) had wives, had children, and he used to eat and drink. The Aqeeda of the Ahle Sunnat Wa Jama’at is that he is both Noor and a human being.
The being and existence of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is even before that of human beings, but when he came into this world he came in the garb of a human being.
The Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has stated, “The very first thing which Almighty Allah created was my Noor.” (Tafseer Roohul Bayaan; Madarijun Nabuiwat)
Once Sayyiduna Jaabir (radi Allahu anhu) asked the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) whom Allah Ta’ala created before anything else. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) stated: “O Jaabir! Verily, before the creation of anything else, Almighty Allah created the Noor of your Nabi from His Noor.” (Muwahibul Laduniya; Zirkani Shareef)
The Sahaba of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) lived with him and observed him with his wives and children. They saw him eating, drinking, talking, etc. but still accepted him to be Noor.
We know that Sayyiduna Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) is made of Noor but when he used to appear before Sayyiduna Maryam (radi Allahu anha) he used to appear in the form of a human being. Allah Ta’ala states in the Holy Quran: “Thus he used to appear before her in the form of a healthy (well-built) man.” (Part 16, Ruku 5)
Sayyiduna Umar Farouk (radi Allahu anhu) narrates that once a person came before them. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) asked him if he knew who that person was, he replied: “Allah Ta’ala and His beloved Rasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) know better.” The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said that it was Jibraeel (alaihis salaam). (Mishkaat;Bukhari Shareef) This Hadith proves that although the Sahaba referred to Sayyiduna Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) as a man since they saw him in the form of a human being, yet they accepted that he was in actual fact an Angel made from Noor. On many instances,he came in the form of Sahabi-e-Rasool named Sayyiduna Wahia Kalbi (radi Allahu anhu).
Sayyidah Halima Sa’adiya (radi Allahu anha), the wet-nurse of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), believed the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) to be Noor. She said that when she used to feed the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) milk in his infancy, she never felt the need for a light in her house. (Bayaanul Miladun Nabwi; Tafseer Mazhari).
Sayyidah Safiya (radi Allahu anha), the aunt of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) states that on the eve of the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) she was present in his house. She said that she saw his Noor became more powerful than the light from the lamp. (Shawaahidun Nubuiwat)
Sayyiduna Ali Murtuza (radi Allahu anhu) said that when the Beloved of Allah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) spoke, Noor (light) used to be seen emerging from between his blessed teeth. (MuwahibulLaduniya; Anwaarul Muhammadiyah)
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) states that when the beloved Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) smiled, then the walls use to glow with his Noor. (Muwahibul Laduniya; Shifa Shareef)
Sayyiduna Anas (radi Allahu anhu) states that the day in which the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) arrived in Madinatul Munawwarah, everythingin Madinatul Munawwarah became bright through his Noor. (Tirmizi Shareef; Ibn Majah)
Ummul Mo’mineen,Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (radi Allahu anha) is recorded to have said: “In total dark nights, I used to put the thread into a needle with the help of the Noor of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).” (Shara Shifa Bar Hashia Naseemur Riaz)
Sayyiduna Imam-e-Azam Abu Hanifa (alaihir rahmah) praises the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in the following poem: “You are that Noor that the full Moon is brightened by your Noor and you are with your beauty and elegance a shining sun.” (Qasidaul Nu’maan)
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari (radi Allahu anhu) reports: I asked: “O Prophet of Allah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), What did the Almighty Allah first create?” The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) replied: “Allah first created my Noor (Light) of His Noor. This Noor travelled about according to the Will of Allah. At that time, there was no Heaven, Hell, Lawh (Divine Tablet), Pen, Earth, Skies, Sun, Moon, Jinn or Human Beings. When He decided to create, He divided that Noor into four parts. From one part He created the Pen, from the second, the Lawh and from the third, he made the Arsh (Throne).
“He divided the fourth part into a further four parts. From one, He created those Angels who carry the Arsh, from the second, the Kursi (Divine Chair) and from the third, He created the Angels.
“He again divided the remaining parts into a further four parts. From one, He created the skies. The second was used in creating the planets. From the third, Heaven and Earth were created.
“Once again, He divided the fourth part into a further four parts. From one part He created the power with which the believers see. From the second, He created in the hearts of the Believers the Noor of Marifat. From the third, He created in the tongues of the Believers,Noor, so that they can read the Kalima of Tauheed”. (Dalaa’il-un-Nubuwwat, Imam Baihaqi)
This astonishing Hadith Shareef proves that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the life of this world and everythingin it. When he is the life of this world, then everything that happens in it is clear to him and nothing is concealed from him.
Who then can deny that he is not Noor (light)?
Some people believe the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) to be a human being just like any other human being. The Ahle Sunnah Wal Jama’at believes that besides being Noor (light), the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is a most unique and perfect human being.
The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is “Rahmatul lil Alameen”. He is the only creation of Allah Ta’ala who has been given this title and no other creation can be given this title. Allah Ta’ala says in the Holy Quran: “And I have not sent you but as Mercy unto the Worlds”. (Part 17 Ruku 7) the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has stated: “Every Nabi only comes towards his people and I have been sent unto all nations. I have been sent as a Messenger unto the entire creation.” (Mishkaat Shareef; Sahih Muslim Shareef)
In the Holy Quran it has been stated that the women who married the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) are the most unique women amongst all the women. If just by marrying the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) they are considered to be so great, then who can compare or be more unique than the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)?
The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said: “I am not like any one of you”. (Tirmidhi; Sahih Bukhari)
Sayyiduna Ali (radi Allahu anhu) said: “I have not seen anybody similar to the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) either before of after.” (Tarikhe Kabeer; Tirmidhi Shareef)
The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) stopped his Sahaba from keeping continuousfasting without partaking in Sehri and Iftaar. When the Sahaba-e-Ikram insisted that they also fast in the manner as Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) kept his fasts, he told them: “I am not like (similar to) you. I am given food and water.” (Sahih Bukhari; Sahih Muslim)
None of the Sahaba-e-Ikram (radi Allahu anhum) ever told Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) that he is a human being like them, that he has two hands and feet like them, that he eats and drinks like them and that he has wives and children like them.
Concerningthe blessed face of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam),Sayyiduna Aisha Siddiqa (radi Allahu anha) states: “I was sewing something at the time of Sehri and the needle fell down. I searched very much for it, but it could not be found. Just then the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) entered and, through the brightnessof his face, I found the needle.” (Khasaais Kubra; Al-Qaulul Badi’lisaqawi)
The saliva of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is not unclean nor does it cause any illness, but it is the cure for illnesses.On the day of Khaibar, the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) put his blessed saliva into Sayyiduna Ali’s (radi Allahu anhu) eyes and he was completelycured. (Mishkaat Shareef; Masnade Imam Ahmed) The well at Sayyiduna Ali?s house (radi Allahu anhu) was very bitter. When the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) put his saliva into the well, the water became so sweet that no water in the entire of Madinah Munawwarahtasted sweeter than that. (MadarijunNubuiwat; Anwaarul Muhammadiyah)
The blessed perspiration of Sayyiduna Muhammad Mustapha (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) possessed a sweet smelling fragrance.Sayyiduna Umme Salim (radi Allahu anha), the mother of Sayyiduna Anas (radi Allahu anhu), said that the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) used to go to the house of Sayyiduna Umme Salim (radi Allahu anha) to make Qailula (rest after lunch). Sayyiduna Umme Salim (radi Allahu anha) used to lay for him a bedspread made from skin. He used to lie on that skin and he perspired very much. Sayyiduna Umme Salim (radi Allahu anha) used to collect the blessed perspiration of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and mix it in perfume. The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) asked, “O Umme Salim! What is this?” She said, “Ya Rasoolallah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)!It is your blessed perspiration. I mix it in my perfume because your blessed perspiration is the best perfume amongst all perfumes.” (Mishkaat Shareef; Bukhari Shareef)
The blessed blood of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is Paak (pure). During the Battle of Uhud, the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was wounded. Sayyiduna Malik bin Sunaan (radi Allahu anhu), the father of Sayyiduna Abu Saeed Khudri (radi Allahu anhu), began to suck out the blood from the wound of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and it began to look white. The Sahaba asked him to spit it out. He refused to do so and said, “I swear by Allah that I will never spit this blood out of my mouth.” He then drank the blessed blood of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said, “Whichever one of you wishes to see a Jannati man, you should look at him (Hadrat Malik bin Sunaan)”. (Shifa Shareef; Madarijun Nabuiwat)
Sayyiduna Allama Ahmad Qistilaani(alaihir rahmah), the commentator of Bukhari Shareef, states: “Make yourself aware that the physical body of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was created in such a way that no one was created similar to him before and nor will their be any one similar who will be born after him.” (Muwahibul Ladaniyah)
After examining the authentic narrationsfrom distinguished books, we see that the Aqeeda of the Sahaba-e-Ikram and of the great Scholars was that the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is a unique human being and there is no one that is like him, equal or similar to him.
He is the most unique amongst the creation of Allah Ta?ala.

Perfection

 “Four traits lift a person to the highest ranks, even if their works and knowledge are little: 1. Forbearance (hilm) 2. Humility(tawadu) 3. Generosity (sakha) 4. Good character (husn al-khuluq). And this is the perfection of faith.” – Imam Ghazali

G`ous-e-pak Radiyallaho T`aalaa A`nho

Bismi-llahi–Rahmani-R-Raheem

Ash-Sheikh Muhaiyuddin Abdul Qadir Jeelaanee Radiyallaho T`aalaa A`nho has been famous for centuries as the most popular and revered Saint of Islam. He was the founder of the Qadriya order, the most tolerant and charitable of the Sunni order of the dervishes.”>
A Great Saint: Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani
Radiyallaho T`aalaa A`nho
Sheikh Muhi Uddin Abdul Qadir Jilani Radiyallaho T`aalaa A`nho has been famous for centuries as the most popular and revered Saint of Islam.
He was the founder of the Qadriya order, the most tolerant and charitable of the Sunni order of the dervishes. This order claims countless followers throughout the Muslim world. His adherents, who knew him as ‘Ghaus-e-Azam’ Radiyallaho T`aalaa A`nho (the highest in the hierarchy ofSaints) revere him for his piety, humility, learning and gentleness of spirit.
Sheikh Abdul Qadir was born in 1077 in Nif, a village in the district of Gilan , Persia (to the north of current Iran ). On his father’s side, his Radiyallaho T`aalaa A`nho ancestry can betraced back in the direct line to Hazrat Imam Hassan Radiyallaho T`aalaa A`nho and hence The Prophet Muhammad SSALLALLAAHO A`LAIHE WA AALIHEE WA SALLAM . His mother Radiyallaaho T`aalaa A`nhaa was a saintly lady and also the daughter of a famous saint of that time.
Sheikh Abdul Qadir Radiyallaho T`aalaa A`nho left his home at the age of eighteen in the pursuit of knowledge and he went to Baghdad, the great centre of learning. He attended the classes held by Tibrizi, the well-known Arab Philologist of the age. There he was initiated into the Sufism of the Abul Khair Muhammed School. This was a special mode of religious thinking and feeling. A Sufi lives rather a retired life in voluntary poverty in order to be better able to meditate on the Holy Qur’an by seeking to draw closer to Allah in prayer.
Sheikh Abdul Qadir Radiyallaho T`aalaa A`nho received the Sufi dress called the ‘Khirka’, from his leader and patron Sheikh Qazi Abu Sa’ad Mubarak Radiyallaho T`aalaa A`nho, head of the Muslim School of the Hambalite law. Not long afterwards,a Khanqah ( monastery ) was built for him. In 1134, the school of Mubarak al Mukharrini was enlarged by public subscription and the popular Sheikh was appointed as its head.
The Sheikh was a great theologian and an earnest, sincere and eloquent preacher. He prayed for all of mankind without distinction of race or creed. Hissermons which he gave regularly in the School on Friday mornings and Monday evenings, and in the Khanqah on Sunday Mornings, breathed the spirit ofcharity and philanthropy. Some of his sermons which are entitled ‘Futuh al Ghaib’ are considered to be among the best pieces of Islamic literature ever written due to its matter and style and one of the great educative values to Muslims and non-Muslims alike. A considerable number of Christians and Jews were deeply influenced by his preaching and accepted the Divine faith.
His fame as a scholar and theologian spread far and wide. People from all parts of the world addressed him with their queries on religious and legal problems, and he never failed to answer these to their entire satisfaction. Many people including rulers and wazirs figured among his disciples venerated the Saint for his unaffected simplicity, deep humanity and steadfastness of purpose.
In his childhood, his saintly mother had always counselled him to remain truthful, frank and honest whatever might happen, and like a dutiful son he made his mother’s advice his watchword for life and acted upon his mother’s advice.
Once, when he was going on a journey, she gave him a few gold pieces. The caravan was overtaken by robbers. When they asked him about what valuables He Radiyallaho T`aalaa A`nho had with him, He Radiyallaho T`aalaa A`nho showed them the gold pieces. The robbers were taken aback and asked him why he did not try to hide his money. He Radiyallaho T`aalaa A`nho replied, “I hold the noble advice of my mother dearer than these few pieces of gold.” The robbers were so moved by the noble spirit shown in this answer that they gave back all the property they had taken from him.
Ash-Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jeelaanee Radiyallaho T`aalaa A`nho is considered the patron Saint of the Kurds and is held in great veneration by the Muslims of the Indo-Pak sub-continent.

The Prophet Muhammad Ssallallaaho A`laihi Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam says, ‘The perfect shaykh is like a prophet to his people’{Ulmaa-e-ummatee Ka-Ammbiyaa-e-baniIsraa-eel}.Indeed Hadrat ‘Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani Radiyallaho T`aalaa A`nho was one of those perfect shaykhs who opened to people the gates of felicity in this world and the gates of Paradise in the next.

Hadrat ‘Abdul-Qadir al-JilaniRadiyallaho T`aalaa A`nho was the greatest example of the fact that in Islam,to seek knowledge is a sacred obligation—- for all men and women,from the cradle to the grave.

One day the shaykh Abdul-Qadir al Jilani Radiyallaho T`aalaa A`nho and some of his followers were traveling on foot in the desert.It was the month of Ramadan and the desert was hot.He related:

I was exceedingly tired and thirsty.My followers were walking ahead of me.All of a sudden a cloud appeared overhead,like an umbrella protecting us from the hot sun.In front of us appeared a gushing spring and a date-palm laden with ripe fruit.Finally there came a round light,brighter than the sun and standing apart from it.A voice came from its direction.It said, ‘O people of Abdul Qadir al-Jilani Radiyallaho T`aalaa A`nho,I am your Lord! Eat and drink,for I have made lawful for you what i have made unlawful for others! My people,who were ahead of me,rushed to the spring to drink, and to the date-palm to eat from it.I shouted at them to stop,and lifting my head towards the direction of the voice I shouted, ‘I take refuge in Allah from the accursed Devil !’

The cloud,the light,the spring and the date-palm all disappeared.The devil stood in front of us in all his ugliness.He asked,How do you know that it was me?’I told the Accursed one who has been thrown out of Allah’s mercy that the address of Allah is not a sound heard with the ears, nor does it come from outside.Further more,I knew that Allah’s laws are constant and are meant for all.He neither changes them,nor renders that which is unlawful lawful to the ones He favours.

Upon hearing this,the devil tried his last temptation of arousing pride. ‘O ‘Abdul-Qadir al- Jilani Radiyallaho T`aalaa A`nho I have fooled seventy G`ous with this trick.Your knowledge is vast,your wisdom is greater than that of the G`ous!’Then pointing to my followers he went on, ‘Is this handful of fools only following you? The whole world should follow you,for you are as good as prophet’.

I said, ‘I take refuge from you in my Allah who is All hearing and all knowing.For it is not my knowledge,nor my wisdom,which saved me from you,but the mercy of my Allah.

He saw everything as from Allah,did every thing for Alla’s sake,and attributed nothing to any created being,including himself.

What he said he did.Compliment or criticism,benefit or loss,were the same to him.His knowledge was all-encompassing and his wisdom supreme.

Tabarruk

Uthman bin ‘Abdullah bin Mauhab said, “My people sent me with a bowl of water to Um Salama Radiyallaaho T`aalaa A`nhaa.” Isra’il approximated three fingers (‘indicating the small size of the container in which there was some hair of the Prophet Ssallallaaho A`laihe Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam.’Uthman Radiyallaaho T`aalaa A`nho added, “If any person suffered from evil eye or some other disease, he would send a vessel (containing water) to Um Salama Radiyallaaho T`aalaa A`nhaa. I looked into the container (that held the hair of the Prophet Ssallallaaho A`laihe Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam) and saw a few red hairs in it,”
(Sahih Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 72, Number 784)

Choose a master

“Choose a master, for without him this journey is full of tribulations, fears & dangers. With no guide, you would be lost on a road you would have already taken. Do not travel alone on the Path.” – Hazrat Jalaluddin Rumi

Bismi-llahi-R-Rahmani-R-Rahim. RAJAB

Rajab marks the begining of the spiritual season of every believer ending with the end of the Eid-ul-Fitr.These three months are unmatched in their importace.

Prophet Muhammad {sallalahu alayhe wasalam} has said: “Rajab is a great month of Allah,unmatched by any other month in the respect and significance [ accord to it] war with the infidels during this month is prohibited;verily,Rajab is Allah’s month,Sha,aban my month and Ramdan the month of my Ummah;who so ever fasts a day in the month of Rajab will be granted the great reward of Ridwan [ an Angel in heaven ];the wrath of Allah shall be distanted and a door of the hell shall be closed.

Salman Farsi narrates that the Final Messenger of Allah Muhammad { sallalahu alayhe wasalam} said that there is a day in the month of Rajab on which if a person fasts and does Qiyaamul Lail [night vigil ]on that night he will receive rewards like a person who fasts for 100 years and does Qiyaamul lail for 100 years.This is the night of the 27th[ Rajab] and the day of the 27th [Rajab].

This is the day on which Muhammad {Sallalahu Alayhe Wasalam ] was appointed to Messengerhood.

To Celebrate the “URS” of the Auliya and visit their Mazaars

‘Urs is the day of the passing away of the noble Saints and Prophets. The word ‘Urs has been taken from the

Hadith: “Sleep just like the bride.” (Mishkhat) The Angels say to the Pious in the grave, “Sleep with restfulness

and comfort just like a bride.”

2. On the day of the passing away of a Saint or on a specific date, his admirers, disciples, followers and relatives

assemble together at the grave of the Saint to obtain spiritual benefit and celebrate the anniversary with

rejoice.

3. It is also very worthy to recite the Quran Shareef and pass on the Sawaab (reward) to their soul and to recite

Fateha and distribute sweetmeat among those present.

4. The object of fixing the day and time of ‘Urs is that the people become aware of this auspicious ocassion,

gather together and that they should make Du’a and obtain the full spiritual benefits.

5. There is no harm for fixing up the day for a permissible affair. To cite a few examples:

a. The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) himself has commanded to observe fast on the Day of

‘Arafat, ‘Ashura and the 15th of Shabaan, and he has also commanded to perform the prayer of Ishraaq

(sun-rise).

b. Similarly, he has commanded to perform the child’s Aqeeqah on the 7th day.

c. Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) went to Ghazwa-e-Tabook on a Thursday and he preferred to

journey on a Thursday.

d. He used to keep fast on Mondays and Thursdays.

e. The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) would go every Saturday to Musjid-e-Quba.

f. The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has fixed the timings of all these things; had it been nonpermissible,

he would not have fixed the timings.

6. After the Holy Prophet’s (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) demise, Hazrat Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) prepared a

good deal of food on the 12th day, and on reading Fateha, he entertained the people of Madinah with it. He

had so much of food prepared that it was enough for the people of Madinah. People began to enquire, “What is

today?” Those who were knowing replied, “Today is the ‘Urs of the Messenger of Allah, today is the ‘Urs of the

Messenger of Allah.” It has become evident from this that the noble Companions celebrated the ‘Urs of the Holy

Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). (Fathul Ma’ani)

7. It has been stated in the Holy Quran that Hazrat ‘Isa (alaihis salaam) said: “O Allah! Our Lord, send down upon

us a tray from the Heaven so that it should be a festival for us, for the first one of us and the last one of us …

.” This verse indicates that we should rejoice on the day of receiving a bounty, and honouring and respecting

that it is counted among the teachings the Prophets (alaihimus salaam), and a source of Allah’s Pleasure.

(Tafseer Kabeer, Tafseer Roohul Bayan)

8. To rejoice on the day of the demise of the noble Saints and the pious men is far much better than and

meritorious because it is the day that they get “union” with Allah Ta’ala.

9. Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdul Aziz Muhaddith Dehlwi(radi Allahu anhu) has written that if the day of ‘Urs is meant

for invocation or reminding for the deceased one, there is no harm. That gives benefit to the living as well as

the deceased ones. (Fatawa Aziziyah)

10. Those who object to the ‘Urs celebrations say that we are practising Polytheism (Shirk) by worshipping a dead

person, calling us “Qabar Pujaris”. We, the Ahle Sunnah Wa Jama’ah, do not ever take the person in the grave

(whether he be a Wali or a Prophet of Allah) to be the permanent and real authority. We do not believe that the

person in the grave to be a partner of Allah Ta’ala.

11. On the date of the ‘Urs of a Wali or some special date set aside for it’s celebration, people go to the graves of

the Friends of Allah Ta’ala to seek blessings and out of love for them, stand before the graves of the Saints and

pray to Allah Ta’ala through the intercession of the Wali in the grave, whom they supplicate to intercede with

Allah Ta’ala on their behalf. Doing so can never be called grave-worship or Shirk (associating partners with

Allah).

PLACING OF GHILAF ON THE GRAVE

1. Ghilaf or Chadar (cloth) is placed on the grave of a Wali or pious Muslim for the benefit of the visitors so that

they may understand and realise the status of the deceased Muslim.

2. It is allowed to put on a Ghilaf on the graves of Awliya and Ulema when it is recognised that the majority

respect the person in the grave. People are also aware of the holy person’s status and gain auspiciousness from

the holy person who is resting in the grave.

3. In the famous book, “Raddul Mukhtaar”, it is stated: “It is permissible to place a cloth on the Qabar of a Wali or

pious Muslim so that visitors be more respectful when visiting the grave. We should also realise that the basis of

action is upon the intention”.

THE BURNING OF INCENSE STICKS, LOBAAN, ETC.

1. To light incense sticks (agarbatti) and lobaan in the Mazaar of the Awliya (or the gatherings of Khatams) and

for the benefit of the visitors is permissible.

2. One should bear this in mind that it is done not for the deceased but rather for the comfort of the visitors, as

they will feel better in a sweet-scented environment.

3. The action of doing good deeds for others is also a means of Sadaqa and the deceased also receive the Sawaab

of this Sadaqa performed by those who are living.

PLACING OF FLOWERS OF THE GRAVE

1. The placing of flowers on the grave of an ordinary or a pious Muslim is permissible.

2. The flowers or plants are a creation of Allah Ta’ala and as long as they remain fresh they continuously recite the

Tasbih of Allah Ta’ala, praising and glorifying Him. The heart of the deceased is satisfied. Allah Ta’ala says in

the Holy Quran: “There is not a thing but celebrates His praise”. (Bani Israeel: 44)

3. It is recorded in Sahih Bukhari Shareef that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) once

broke a green branch in two pieces and placed each of them on separate graves. Hazrat Sheikh Muhaddith

Dehlvi (radi Allahu anhu) states with regard to this: “This very Hadith has been accepted by the Ulama as proof

in placing flowers on the graves”. (Ashatul Lam’aat)

4. Allama Tahtawi (radi Allahu anhu) states: “Some among our preceeding Ulama have given a legal verdict that

the action of placing flowers or fresh branches is Sunnat and is proven from Hadith”.

5. Wet grass should not be removed from the grave because the wet grass prays the Tasbih of Allah Ta’ala and

gives solace to the buried. If it is removed then you have committed an unjust deed for the deceased.

KISSING OF THE GRAVE AND MAKING TAWAAF

1. It is forbidden to kiss or perform circumbulation around the grave. (Bahar Shariat, Ash’atul Lam’aat).

TIME AND DAY OF VISITING

1. It is Sunnat to visit the graves. One should go once a week, either on a Friday, Thursday, Saturday or Monday.

The best time is on a Friday morning.

2. While visiting the Mazaar of a Wali, if you see something there which is against the Shari’ah, such as facing

women or hearing music, then do no not stop going, but think of it as bad and try and avoid it because to stop

a pious act because of seeing bad things is not correct.

3. It is a wise thing that women should be stopped from visiting the graves. (Radd-ul-Mohtar; Fatawa-e-Razvia)
