Main Yeh Bhi Ahad Karta Hoon Ke Main Israf Karne Aur Kawaane se Inkaar Karoonga. Saat Saat Main Yeh Bhi Ahad Karta Hoon Ke Maashere Mein Islah Ke Maqsad Ko Pesh-e-Nazar Rakhoonga.  Allah Paak Se Aajizaana Dua Goh Hoon Ke Woh Meri Is Koshish Ko Sharf-e-Khubooliyat Ata Farmaye. Aameen!

Allah Un Sab ki Dua Ku Qabool Farmaye aur Un ki Ahad ku pura karne me Madat Kare, Aameen.

The First Verse Among 18 Quranic Verses in Proof of Imam Mehdi [AS]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

شروع الله کا نام لے کر جو بڑا مہربان نہایت رحم والا ہے

وإذ ابتلى إبراهيم ربه بكلمات فأتمهن قال إني جاعلك للناس إماما قال ومن ذريتي قال لا ينال عهدي الظالمين--2:124  

{ و } اذكر { إذا ابتلى } اختبر { إبراهيم } وفي قراءة إبراهام. { ربُّه بكلمات } بأوامر ونواه كلَّفه بها، قيل هي مناسك الحج، وقيل المضمضة والاستنشاق والسواك وقص الشارب وفرق الرأس وقلم الأظافر ونتف الإبط وحلق العانة والختان والاستنجاء { فأتمهن } أداهن تامات { قال } تعالى له { إني جاعلك للناس إماما } قدوة في الدين { قال ومن ذرِّيتي } أولادي اجعل أئمة { قال لا ينال عهدي } بالإمامة { الظالمين } الكافرين منهم دل على أنه ينال غير الظالم .

Pickthall

And (remember) when his Lord tried Abraham with (His) commands, and he fulfilled them, He said: Lo! I have appointed thee a leader for mankind. (Abraham) said: And of my offspring (will there be leaders)? He said: My covenant includeth not wrong-doers.

Yusuf Ali

And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands, which he fulfilled: He said: "I will make thee an Imam to the Nations." He pleaded: "And also (Imams) from my offspring!" He answered: "But My Promise is not within the reach of evil-doers."

The Congregation, Friday

A call from your lord on the day of friday...... 

 

62:9

يا أيها الذين آمنوا إذا نودي للصلاة من يوم الجمعة فاسعوا إلى ذكر الله وذروا البيع ذلكم خير لكم إن كنتم تعلمون

Sahih International:

O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew.

Tafsir al-Jalalayn

O you who believe, when the call for prayer is made on Friday, hasten, set off, to the remembrance of God, to the prayer, and leave aside [all] commerce, suspend [all] such contracts. That is better for you, should you know, that it is better for you, then do it.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِن يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَذَرُوا الْبَيْعَ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

 

Pickthall:

O ye who believe! When the call is heard for the prayer of the day of congregation, haste unto remembrance of Allah and leave your trading. That is better for you if ye did but know.

62:10

فإذا قضيت الصلاة فانتشروا في الأرض وابتغوا من فضل الله واذكروا الله كثيرا لعلكم تفلحون

Sahih International:

And when the prayer has been concluded, disperse within the land and seek from the bounty of Allah , and remember Allah often that you may succeed.

And when the prayer is finished, disperse in the land (this is an imperative denoting permissibility) and seek, provision through, God’s bounty, and remember God, with remembrance, frequently, that perhaps you may be successful, [that perhaps] you may be the winners.

فَإِذَا قُضِيَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَانتَشِرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَابْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

 

Pickthall:

And when the prayer is ended, then disperse in the land and seek of Allah's bounty, and remember Allah much, that ye may be successful.

62:11

وإذا رأوا تجارة أو لهوا انفضوا إليها وتركوك قائما قل ما عند الله خير من اللهو ومن التجارة والله خير الرازقين

Sahih International:

But when they saw a transaction or a diversion, [O Muhammad], they rushed to it and left you standing. Say, "What is with Allah is better than diversion and than a transaction, and Allah is the best of providers."

Tafsir al-Jalalayn

On one occasion the Prophet (s) was delivering the Friday sermon when a caravan arrived and so, as was the custom, drums were beaten to announce its arrival, whereat the people began to leave the mosque [to go to it], all except for twelve men. The following [verse] was then revealed: But when they sight some [opportunity for] business or a diversion, they scatter off towards it, that is, towards the business, since it is what they seek more than diversion, and leave you, during the sermon, standing. Say: ‘That which is with God, in the way of reward, is better, for those who believe, than diversion and commerce. And God is the best of providers’. They say that every person ‘provides for’ (yarzuqu) his dependants, [by which they mean that such a person does so] by means of the provision given by God (min rizqi’Llāhi), exalted be He.

وَإِذَا رَأَوْا تِجَارَةً أَوْ لَهْوًا انفَضُّوا إِلَيْهَا وَتَرَكُوكَ قَائِمًا ۚ قُلْ مَا عِندَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِّنَ اللَّهْوِ وَمِنَ التِّجَارَةِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ

 

Pickthall:

But when they spy some merchandise or pastime they break away to it and leave thee standing. Say: That which Allah hath is better than pastime and than merchandise, and Allah is the Best of providers.

Area Suraksha Mitra

Dear Friends,

The Chinese Aggression in 1962 and the Indo-Pakistan War in 1965 led to the evolution of the CIVIL DEFENCE POLICY. The Government of India made provisions under the mentioned Policy for civilians to be trained.

Civil Defense began as an effort to prepare civilians for military attacks but now has expanded its scope to include a more active disaster management movement. It uses the principles of emergency operations, such as: prevention, mitigation, preparation, response, or emergency evacuation, and recovery. The Home Guards and Fire Forces, among other trained Personnel, equip civilians with the skills required for self dependency and protection.

Fast forward… Whenever we step out of our homes we come across one or the other problems: someone meets with an accident/ a storm water drain is overflowing/ the road has an open man-hole/ traffic jams, etc. and all of us blame the Government or the municipality who is our elected representative. Many of us have come across one of these problems at some point in time and have thought of practical solutions for them; but at the end of the tunnel, we all talk about these problems and their solutions over a cup of tea and forget. How long can we continue talking and see such problems taking the shape of a demon in our lives? Can we do something? Is there a solution to all these?

Yes, of course there is!

Directorate of Home Guards & Civil Defense in association with Janaagraha Centre for Citizenship & Democracy started Area Suraksha Mitra, a Civil Defense initiative for citizen preparedness both in contingencies as well as for neighbourhood security.

Bahadur Yar Jung and Hindu-Muslim relations

Iam a Muslim

Nawab Bahadur Yar Jung (Bahadur Khan) (d.1944) , the towering leader of the pre-1948 Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, has been the target of vehement attacks by his detractors to this day. He is routinely labeled as a communalist and divisive figure. In his heyday the Arya Samaj and other right wing organizations ran a well run campaign to defame his inspiring personality whose charismatic appeal crossed all boundaries of creed and caste. In one instance he was painted as a man-eating tiger devouring a Hindu man. Such false propaganda has led some modern day self described ‘enlightened’ & ‘intellectual’ Muslims to blame him for the contemporary communal problems in Hyderabad (Telangana) region of Andhra Pradesh. However, a careful reading of his life reveals that Bahadur Yar Jung was a bridge builder across communities who believed in harmonious relations with one and all.

Bahadur Yar Jung was the product of the proverbial Ganga-Jamuni (or in this instance the Krishna/Godavari) culture. He opened his eyes in an environment where the Hindu-Muslim relations where at their peak with Maharaja Kishan Pershad, the prime minister, epitomized the syncretic culture of the time. Bahadur Yar Jung’s contact with the Maharaja began early—his father being a friend of the prime minister. His first direct encounter was recorded at a party at the Maharaja’s residence where he introduced himself as, ‘I am your student, Bahadur Khan.’ At first the former did not recognize him and asked for details.

‘I have obtained knowledge by reading your books and energized Milad gatherings by memorizing your speeches,’ replied the young Bahadur Khan. When the Maharaja found out about his father he became even more attached to him and use to address him as ‘my son.’ As will be shown later the Maharaja was not the only Hindu to call him as such.

Bahadur Khan greatly respected the Maharaja and eagerly followed the Maharaja’s advice when there was a dispute within his family over ancestral property.

Sarojini Naidu was equally affectionate towards him and called him her son. She paid glowing tributes to him while introducing at a meeting held under the title, ‘ Mazhab Nahin Sikata Apas Mein Bair Rakhna.’ In response Nawab Bahadur Khan said, “I thank the respected chairperson for her introduction. But since I consider her to be my mother she has praised not me but herself.”

Bahadur Khan had ensured that Muslims not retaliate for the killings of his two close relatives in the infamous Dhoolpet riot of 1938. He successfully and single-handedly dispersed a crowd baying for blood. For this Sarojini Devi commented, ‘In a peaceful environment I have seen many leaders inflame the passions of the crowd...but I have neither seen nor heard of a speaker who could pacify the angers of an infuriated mob.’

Bahadur Khan counted many leading Hindu leaders as his friend including Gandhi Ji and Rabindranath Tagore. In a letter to Sarojini Naidu dated June 13, 1942, Gandhi Ji enquired about the deteriorating communal situation in Hyderabad:

“My dear Singer,

I had love letters from all of you three. But this is to draw your attention to the enclosed. I want you to show the note to your son and my friend the Nawab Bahadur Yar Jung. If the facts are as stated why should they happen where you and your son live?

Love to the family.

( Padmaja Naidu Papers, Nehru Memorial Museum and Library; Collected Works, Volume 94, page 99 )

At a memorial meeting held on the demise of Rabindranath Tagore he compared him with Allamah Iqbal and opined that the communal problem in India could easily be solved if the leadership is in the hands of leaders like the great poet.

There are various instances of Bahadur Khan’s life where he practically demonstrated his belief in justice and harmony. In 1942 he amicably resolved the dispute related to the land of Sharan Basappa Temple in Gulbarga. Finding Muslim claims to the land as unjust he gave the decision in favour of the temple. At this Muslims complained but he did not blink and instead reminded them of the Quranic verse, “... and do not let the enmity and hatred of some people lead you away from justice, but adhere to justice, for that is closer to piety.” (Qur’an, 5: 8).

Similarly, Bahadur Khan was also opposed to the formation of religion based trade or student unions saying that such divisions will be harmful for the collective interests of those classes or groups. In a letter dated 1 Feb., 1938 to Muhammad Afzal, a student of Usmania College, Warangal, he wrote that the proposed student union should not just be limited to Muslims alone and urged them to be open for students of all faiths and communities.

There are numerous such instances strewn throughout the brief but busy life of the great leader which his broad vision. He adopted his tough stance on the independence of Hyderabad because he was fearful of Hindu hegemony and its ill effects on the Muslims. Yes, he did envision an Islamic state but it was to be a state where non-Muslims would not be discriminated against. He said, “I emphatically assert that the Asafi Islamic State does not mean rule by the Muslims. By ‘Islamic State’ I mean the kind of government which is defined in God’s book as Islamic government. Islamic government means a government under which all communities live in peace and comfort and which is marked by its impartial dispensation of justice. I call a state an Islamic state wherein the rich do not harass the poor and the Government of which is just and fair.”

His conception of an Islamic state is far cry from the one elicited by the contemporary media. It was to be a pluralist state where the rights of one and all be respected and where peace prevails.

Despite his idealism Bahadur Khan was also practical and realistic. There are some indications to suggest that he knew that this kind of a state could not be realized in the given scenario. Mir Laiq Ali, the last prime minister of Hyderabad, is of the view that Bahadur Khan wanted to get the best possible deal for the Muslims and that had he been alive things would not have been as tragic or bloody as they eventually did due to the emotional leadership of Kassim Razwi.

But, alas, for all his concern for the Muslims a section of the community is indulging on defaming him and unwittingly carrying forward the propaganda of the pre-1948 Arya Samajis.

Sign of Allah: Torture in a grave

Sign of Allah: Torture in a grave

Assalam Alaikum Wa Rehamtullahi Wa Barkatahu.

Hope you all find this email in the best of your imaan and of good heatlh.

In this photo 18-year old young Arab boy who died in one of the hospitals of Oman. The boy died in hospital and was buried under the Islamic law on the same day after obligatory ablution of the body. However after funeral the father doubted the diagnosis of doctors and wanted to identify the true reason of his death. The corpse of the boy had been dug out from the grave within 3 hours after his funeral as his father insisted to know the truth.

Relatives and his friends shocked when they saw the corpse. He was completely different within 3 hours. He turned grey as if he was a very old man, with traces of obvious tortures and the most severe beating, with the broken bones of hands and legs, with the edges broken and pressed into a body.

All of his body and face were full of bruise. The open eyes-showed hopeless fear and pain. The blood obviously indicated that the boy has been subjected to the most severe torture. 

Close relatives of the dead boy approached Muslim Scholars who have unequivocally declared that it is the result of torture in grave; which Allah (s.w.t) and Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) have warned.

The shocked father of the boy has admitted that his son was spoilt child, did not obey his parent, did not do Salat (prayers / namaz) and had a carefree way of life, having involved in different sins.

Every person after death comes across tests in the tomb, except Shaheed who died in the way of Allah. This is first test which the person comes across after death but before the Doomsday.

We find in Hadis of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w):

- After burial of dead person his soul will return to his body, then two Angels will come, Munkar and Nakir, and will ask: "Who is your Lord?" he will answer: "my Lord - Allah ". Then they will ask: "What is your religion?" he will answer: "My religion - Islam". Then they will ask him: "Who that person who has been sent to you?" he will answer: "He is the Prophet of Allah ". Then they will ask him: "How do you know?" He will answer: "I read the Book of Allah and trusted Him.

And then from heavens the voice will come: " My Slave has told the truth, lay it to bed from Paradise and open the Gate of Paradise " - then it will be full of pleasure and he begins to feel pleasures of the paradise, and his grave becomes spacious, that eyes can reach.

The Prophet of Allah Muhammad (s.a.w) said about the sinners. After burial of dead person his soul will return to the body, then two Angels will come and ask, "Who is your Lord?" he will answer: "I do not know". Then they will ask: " Who that person who has been sent to you?" he again will answer: I "do not know" - and then from the sky the voice will come: "he told a lie, Put him into a box from fire and open before it the Gate of a hell ! "- than it will be captured with heat of the hell, and his grave becomes narrow and the edges will be compressed.

In Hadis it is also said, that Angels will severely beat the sinners during interrogation in the tomb and this torture will be awful. It is informed also, that our Messenger (s.a.w) supplicated to Allah to protect Him from tortures of the grave and asked other people to do so.

The Prophet (s.a.w) said: " The grave is the first stage of the hereafter. If a person is saved from its torment, then what comes after it is really easy. If one is not saved from it, what follows is really severer." (Ibn Maja)

The Prophet (s.a.w) said: " I have never seen a more horrible sight than that of the grave. " (Ibn Maja, Al Termizi)

This true story of 18-year old young Arab boy is an eye opener for Momins – true Mehdavi, true believers and for others nothing but a horror story as their hearts is sealed by Allah. They look but do not see, listen but do not hear?
