	VOL 15 NO 8: The Ibaadat of Iftaar

	Posted by: TheMajlis A very important act related to Saum (Fasting) is Iftaar or to break the fast at its appropriate time. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) emphasised the importance and the virtues of correct observance of Iftaar. Correct observance of Iftaar means to observe it in the Sunnat way. Although Iftaar is ostensibly a mundane act of eating some food, it is an ibaadat of much thawaab (reward) as well. However, Iftaar will be bereft of its spirituality and ibaadat dimension if it is not observed in the Masnoon manner. 823 Reads Read more... (2323 bytes more)

	VOL 15 NO 8: The Nabi's Istighfaar

	Posted by: TheMajlis “Verily, when they had committed injustice against their own souls, if they came to you (O Muhammad!) and sought forgiveness from Allah, and the Rasool (also) sought forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah to be The Accepter of repentance and The Most Mercil.”(Surah Nisaa, aayat 64) It has always been the practice of the Akaabir (Senior) Ulama to recite this aayat and make Dua-e-Istighfaar by the Raudhah Shareef (the Holy Grave of Rasulullah –sallallahu alayhi wasallam). The illustrious Ulama have applied this aayat to both the life and after death times of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). Undoubtedly, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) makes Dua-e-Maghfirat for his Ummah even in the realm of Barzakh. It is the belief of the Ahlus Sunna that Nabi-e-Kareem (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) is Hayaat (Alive in Barzakh). 1014 Reads Read more... (1847 bytes more)

	VOL 15 NO 8: Building Graves

	Posted by: TheMajlis There is a variety of Asbaab-e-Rahmat (Factors of Mercy) on account of which Allah’s rahmat settles on the amwaat (deceased) in their graves. By erecting structures on and around the grave, one such factor of mercy is reduced, thus depriving the mayyit (deceased) of Allah’s special mercy which would have settled on the grave if it was not made into a built structure. DESOLATENESS Desolateness— loneliness and being in a forlorn state — is a factor which brings about the rahmat of Allah Ta’ala on the mayyit. The erection of a structure or a wall around the grave as is the common bid’ah practice, is an impediment for the mercy of Allah Ta’ala. Instead of any benefit, the mayyit is deprived of mercy by a structure which eliminates the atmosphere of desolation from around the grave. 867 Reads Read more... (998 bytes more)

	VOL 15 NO 8: Tasawwuf

	Posted by: TheMajlis A concise definition of Tasawwuf is Adab which means respect—good conduct. Those who are deprived of the companionship of the Pious lack in Adab. Adab is not merely an external façade of greeting and smiling. True Adab is restricted to the Auliya. Hadhrat Shah Abul Ma-aali (rahmatullah alayh) was on a journey. During his absence his Shaikh visited his home. Shah Abul Ma-aali’s wife was eager to prepare some food for her husband’s Shaikh, but there was not a grain of food in the house. Most of the time passed with hunger in the home. She was unable to obtain even a small loan from the neighbourhood to enable her to prepare the food. 1121 Reads Read more... (1314 bytes more)

	VOL 15 NO 8: RAJM-Stoning the Adulterors

	Posted by: TheMajlis Recently there has been intense comment on the Islamic injunction of Rajm or stoning to death the adulterers. If adultery -zina– committed by married persons is proven on the basis of Shar’i evidence, the Hadd (prescribed punishment) of Rajm is applied. The validity of Rajm is based on all the Sources of Islamic Law (the Shariah of the Qur’aan). There has NEVER been the slightest difference of opinion among the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah regarding the validity of Rajm. There is complete Ijma’ (Consensus) of the Ummah on the validity of the Hadd of Rajm. KUFR Denial of Rajm is kufr—kufr which expels the denier from the fold of Islam. This naseehat is for Muslims—those Muslims who have been thrown into doubt and confusion by the many modernist munaafiqeen lurking within the folds of the Ummah. These modernists who happen to be the agents of the Western Kuffaar as well as the agents of Shaitaan have abortively attempted to refute the validity of Rajm. In their exercise of kufr, they have failed. 861 Reads Read more... (5556 bytes more)

	VOL 15 NO 8: Waseelah

	Posted by: TheMajlis The concept of Waseelah which the misguided Salafi sect condemns as Shirk on the basis of the opinion of Ibn Taimiyyah was never correctly understood even by him, less by his blind followers. This brief explanation cannot discuss all the baseless arguments which Ibn Taimyyah and his errant followers have presented for their condemnation of Waseelah. A book shall have to be prepared in refutation of their arguments. Should Allah Ta’ala bestow the taufeeq and opportunity, we shall, Insha’Allah, embark on such a refutation. ITS MEANING Waseelah is to supplicate (make dua) to Allah Ta’ala by presenting the auspicious proximity to Allah Ta’ala enjoyed by either A’maal-e-Saalihah (Righteous Deeds) or Pious beings such as the Ambiyaa and Auliya. In simple terms, Waseelah is to make dua as follows: “O Allah! Accept my dua for the sake of Your Nabi…..(or a certain Wali)…..or (a certain good deed).” Ibn Taimiyyah and his muqallideen (blind followers) brand this form of Waseelah haraam and shirk. His opinion in this regard is baseless. The Sahaabah and all the great Personalities of Islam from the earliest times resorted to such Waseelah and believed it to be perfectly permissible. 999 Reads Read more... (8660 bytes more)

	VOL 15 NO 8: Radios of "Islam"-Apendages of Shaitaan

	Posted by: TheMajlis In this age of fitnah and fasaad (corruption and anarchy) among the gravest moral dangers for the Ummah are the radio stations beaming and broadcasting baatil, kufr, fitnah, fisq and fujoor. With supreme audacity akin to the rebellion of Shaitaan on the occasion when he had flagrantly refused the Divine Command to prostrate to Hadhrat Aadam (alayhis salaam), the miserable miscreants, without the slightest twinge of fear for Allah Ta’ala, have designated their vile shaitaani appendages as media of Islam. NO AFFINITY These evil media are so far from Islam, so inimical towards Islam, so flagrant in their perpetration of evil and haraam, so violently in conflict with Islam, that one can safely aver that the operators of the Shaitaani appendages are within the confines of Kufr. There is absolutely no affinity between these organs of Shaitaan and Islam. Truly, it is imperative for a man’s intelligence to have been affected by the divine act of maskh (disfiguration) and la’nat (divine curse), when he chooses to describe an evil radio station as a radio of Islam. To wash garments with urine is evil in the extreme, but it is not kufr. To proclaim the purity of urine and to take wudhu with urine believing it to have the purifying property of pure water is undoubtedly clear-cut Kufr which expels the corrupt man from the fold of Islam. This analogy applies most appropriately to those who operate these organs and appendages of Shaitaan. 886 Reads Read more... (8659 bytes more)

	VOL 15 NO 8: Huqooq of Women

	Posted by: TheMajlis Commenting on the abuse of the Shar’i rights of women, Hakimul Ummat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thaanvi (rahmatullah alayh) said: “Nowadays there is considerable deficiency in the fulfilment of the rights of wives. Such denial of rights is great injustice and cruelty. Husbands tend to become frustrated over even the little acts of discretion of their pure and chaste wives. In their frustration and constriction of heart they violate the rights of their wives. This is most unintelligent. Husbands fail to realize that inspite of the indiscretion of wives, they remain chaste and pure. They guard their chastity. This one attribute (i.e. chastity) overshadows all their indiscretion. In this attribute of chastity the honourable females of Hindustan are in fact like the Houris of Jannat. If such a wife is deserted by her husband without him informing her, without her being aware of his whereabouts and without him having made any arrangement for her maintenance, she will remain at home guarding her chastity and honour. If the husband suddenly returns after years of absence, he will find his chaste wife in the same corner where he had abandoned her. 994 Reads Read more... (4257 bytes more)

	VOL 15 NO 8: Dua

	Posted by: TheMajlis Shaking the Heavens During the time of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) there was a trader who plied his trade between the Land of Shaam (Syria) and Madinah. He would not accompany the trade caravans on account of his trust in Allah Ta’ala (Tawakkul). He journeyed alone through the deserts and wilderness with his merchandise. Once while on a journey from Shaam to Madinah, he was accosted by a highway robber on horseback. Screaming at the trader, he said: “Halt!” The trader halted and said: “Take my wealth and allow me to proceed.” Robber: “The wealth belongs to me. I desire to take your life.” Trader: “What will you do with my life? Your need is the wealth. Let me proceed.” Robber: “The wealth is mine. I intend to take your life.” Trader: “Allow me to make Wudhu, perform Salaat and make dua to my Rabb Azza Wa Jal.” Robber: “Do as you please.” The trader made Wudhu and performed four raka’ts Salaat. He then raised his hands towards the heaven and supplicated to Allah Ta’ala as follows: 962 Reads Read more... (8186 bytes more)
