Sha-be-barat

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(In The Name Of Allah, the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful ...)

Its very surprising  to see the present Ummah  (the followers of Prophet Mohamed(S.A.W)) are badly doing  Shirk and  Bidah nowadays…

Before lighting you on Sha-be-barat , let me light you on what is Shirk and Bidah..

  Shirk is worshipping  of anyone or anything other than ALLAH(The Almighty)
     or establishing Partners to  Him.Shirk is the unforgivable crime Allah (The Almighty) has said
     that he would forgive any sin if one dies except Shirk.   

  Bidah  means  "to invent " or create "new things " in ISLAM..

     And you might be knowing that when a speaker is about to say anything related to ISLAM ,
     he starts     with HAMD (A speech in arabic ),the last lines of it states that
     "All bidah  is towards  aberrance and all aberrance towards the Hell fire ".

 A night Of Halwas....

A night of visiting the Graves ...

A night of  endless prayers...

This is a kind of practice usually seen at North India , Pakistan , Bangladesh and some Arab countries…

Its the night before the 15th Sha' ban and is called as Sha-be-barat.

On this night peole do Kabar ziyarat (visiting the grave yard) , they pray whole night , they recite the Holy Quran  and the worse practice seen is the Maulana reciting loudly  throughout  the streets the Holy Quran and tries to complete it before the Fajr prayer. Which is strictly a wrong practice and you could Imagine how it would sound finishing  the Holy Quran in just  6 to 7 hours.

Some Islamic group say that on this very night The Holy Quran was brought down…

The Quran in clear words ascribe in Surath-ul- Qadr.
It says; “Verily we have sent it (The Quran) down in the night of Al-Qad’r (The Decree)... The night of Decree is better than a thousand months. Therein descend the angels and Ruh (the spirit) by Allah’s permission with all decrees.” (97:1-4)

In another Surah, the same thing has been specified;
 “We sent it (The Qur’an) down on a blessed night. Verily we are ever warning. Therein is decreed every matter of ordainment.” (44:3-4)

And In Surath-ul-Bakra its said;
 " The month of Ramadhan in which was revealed the quran" (2:185)

 And This proves that The Holy Quran was brought down on the night of Qadr, and the talking is of the Layalatul -Qadr not the Sha-be-Qadr which is found in the odd nights of last 10 days in the month, Ramadhan.

Some Islamic group say that on this very night  Allah comes to the first sky and is ready to forgive all the sins on this very night .

 And that’s the reason why people do endless prayers the whole night ,do Kabr -ziyarat  ,
 gives charity and do all other good deeds.

I would like to say that till now there is no Saheeh (Authentic) Hadith found for the above doings . And to remove the curtain from your eyes, Allah (the Almighty)   is always there for you everywhere and anytime. You can ask for  repentance on any day and on any night . And Indeed He  is  the Kindest of all and He will forgive  you for sure.

 So The weak narrations, stating that fate is written in this night are to be ignored because they contradict the Holy  Quran.

There is a narration in Tirmidhi, which is considered as Za’eef (weak) Hadith according to Imam Tirmidhi. All the narrations regarding glorification of the night are weak. The Saheeh Hadiths inform us that Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) with the exception of Ramadan, never kept so many fasts as in Sha’ban. But we also find that the Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W)  forbade others to keep any fast after the mid Sha’ban.  Other than this, no reference of the 15th night is authentic.

Shias believe that 15th Sha’ban is the birth date of their last and 12th Imam who is invisible and will come back as Imam Medhi. This may be the reason behind Halwas, crackers and other celebration-like things prevalent among those who lack knowledge.

About Milads etc., every moment of the day or night when Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) is remembered, is pious but again, there is nothing in Qur’an and Sunnah which links the Prophet to the said night in particular.

When  some Islamic group preaches Islam in such a way , showing  that the night sha-be-barat is  having more importance than the layalatul Qadr , and still having no signs in the Holy Quran and no authentic Hadiths.

 Doesn’t make sense in believing the existence of such a big night, the Sha-be-barat .

According to me it might have come after the Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W) . And  we all know that the Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W) has said that he has completed Islam in its best form till the Qyamah(the  dooms day).
And so there is no alteration needed in it , and doing alteration will lead to bidah as stated above.

Thus treating the 15th sha' ban a special day is a bidah ,which has led people to wrong doings like has become an occasion of making Halwas, for youths instead of praying the whole night they are seen roaming about the whole night bursting crackers and has more or less turned to a festive  night which is again not allowed in Islam.

Hmmmmmmm.….….

This was all according to me , my research. I would request you to go deep into this and save yourself from all kind of bidah and shirk.

After all Islam is all about ones knowledge...

12 wafat

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(In The Name Of Allah, the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful ...)

To start with Mawlid or Eid Milad-un-Nabi, it is the celebration of Prophet Muhammeds (S.A.W) birth on the 12^th of Rabi-ul-Awal, Hijri (The Islamic Calendar). The tradition is mostly seen in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Now the question comes whether We are supposed to celebrate this day (Eid Milad-un- Nabi)...???

Firstly Our beloved Prophet Muhammeds (S.A.W) Birth

The scholars differ greatly upon the exact date of birth of the Prophet (S.A.W). All agree that he  was born in the year of elephant (when Abraha attacked Makkah) and that he was born on a Monday but when it comes to the day of the month, there are a lot of different opinions 8th, 9th and 12th Rabi-ul-Awal and none of them can be fully confirmed. However, one thing is for sure, the Prophet (S.A.W) passed away on the 12^th of Rabi-ul-Awal at the age of 63. That was a disastrous day for the companions and the ummah and it makes no sense for us to celebrate a day in which the ummah suffered an irrevocable loss.


On Celebrating Eid Milad-un-Nabi

Authentic narrations mention only 2 forms of (Eid) celebrations in a year for any Muslim; Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha. For both these times we have detailed explanation of how the Prophet (S.A.W) spent his day and night in Worship and enjoyment. And it clearly depicts that we are not allowed to do celebrations on any other day except this two. That is according to Islamic law even we are not asked to celebrate our birthdays. And then we put a question mark in celebrating our Prophets (S.A.W) birthday.

And if we go search Quran and Sunnah we would never find any Ayats or Reporting's that says our beloved Prophet (S.A.W) or his companions ever celebrated His birthday.

 
Eid Milad-un-Nabi- its origin

As we see a new Eid or the Third Eid has originated Eid Milad-un-Nabi.
Never did Prophet Muhamed (S.A.W) say anything, Nor the sahabis and not even imaams – Abu Haneefah, Maalik, al-Shaafi’i, Ahmad, al-Hasan al-Basri, Ibn Seereen – did this or commanded others to do it or say that it was good? By Allah, no! It was not even mentioned during the first and best three centuries.
 The Prophet (S.A.W) said : “The best of mankind are my generation (or my century), then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then there will come a people who will not care if their testimony comes before their oath or vice versa (i.e., they will not take such matter seriously).”
 (Reported by al-Bukhaari, Muslim and al-Tirmidhi).
 The celebration of the Prophet’s birthday appeared many centuries later in Cairo by the Fatimi State (Shia sect) who used to celebrate the birthday of the Prophet, Ali, Fatima, Hassan, Hussain and their present monarch.



In India we see many celebrating it by saying "We do because, we love our Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W)"

To them i have to say that it was sahabis who loved our Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W) the most.

They were the one whose knees shook and heart trembled upon the hearing of demise of their Prophet (S.A.W). They are the ones who adhered to his Sunnah so much so that if the Prophet (S.A.W) stopped at a particular place during their journey, then they would also want to stop at the same place, and if the Prophet (S.A.W) placed his foot on a certain place during tawaf, then they will also try to do likewise. Such were the followers of Muhammad, and they were truly followers and not innovators.
 

The companions loved Prophet (S.A.W) in the truest meaning of the word ‘love’.
 And the Quran says
“Say (O Muhammad): ‘If you (really) love Allaah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:31]
In this verse, it’s clear if you love someone, you will try to follow all his commands to the best you can. It is no wonder then, that Allah praised the companions of the Prophet at various places throughout the Quran commenting on their belief, their love, and their following of the Prophet (S.A.W).

I hope it’s clear now that there are no proofs of celebration of Prophets (S.A.W) birthday from our beloved Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W), nor any reports from his companions of doing so. And if we need to express our love, we need to become true followers of him, by doing all what he did and abstain from all what he didn’t.

This was all according to me , my research. I would request you to go deep into this and save yourself from all kind of bidah and shirk.

After all ISLAM is all about ones knowledge.

O you who believe!!

Just don’t believe what you hear, you know how to read and try researching them in the Light of Quran and Sunnah. And until you find them by your own, don’t believe.

Thus I pray

“O Allah save us from all wrongs and shower Mercy on us..."

And Allah knows best.

O Allah forgive me if I am wrong and guide us to the right path…

(...Aameen...)

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barkatuhu
 (Peace, Mercy and Blessing of Allah be upon you).

a LiGHt to tHe Darker woRLd....

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barkatuhu
 (Peace and Mercy and Blessing of Allah be upon you).

Islam is derived from the arabic word Salam , which means Peace.
Allah (The Almighty ) has said everyone to keep brotherhood among people and live a peaceful life…
The Prophet Muhammed(S.A.W) has always asked to maintain Peace around the surroundings.
From His Holy teachings we could never get signs of violence unless it be for country or the religion, Islam.

ThE Religion Islam is The Religion Of Peace…..

Islam is not the religion which began just 1000s years ago, but it’s the religion from the beginning of the world, Which has been beautifully scripted in the Holy Quran.

The Holy Quran was one of the Mujizah (the super powers) to the Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W).
In which its scripted that there was more than lakhs of Prophets before Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W), and he is the last Prophet  till the Qyamah (the dooms day).
Among  the lacks of Prophets only 25 Prophets name have been scripted in the Holy Quran.
Among the 25 some are listed below :
                
                  * Prophet Ibrahim (A.S)  as Abraham in Bible.
                  * Prophet Moosa (A.S)  as  Moses in Bible.
                  * Prophet Isaa (A.S) as Jesus in Bible.
                  * Prophet Nooh (A.S) as Noah in Bible.
                  * Prophet Adam (A.S) as Adam in Bible.

In our Holy Quran its scripted that at the time of Prophet Isaa (A.S) or Jesus , He revealed the Holy book " INGEEL "   . Which we feel has been edited and altered and is named as Bible.

But the Holy Quran is presently the only religious book with no alteration…
And only Holy words of The God Allah (The Almighty) is scripted in it..
Which was given to our Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W).

 

You want believe it unless you learn Islam...

That our Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W) before becoming prophet...

He was known as the most truthful person, He never used to lie...

Everyone believed him such that, If he said that "the enemy army has covered us from all side and is ready to do war ", the people of his place would believe Him undoubtedly.

And after He became the Prophet, though the whole ministry or the people were against Him. The people used to deposit money and valuable things to him only, as they knew Him of his virtue and truthfulness.

 

 

   Well this is not even 1% of His life which I shared with you….
   If your prayers there with me , I would always love writing more on this in the coming days…
Till then have a good peaceful LiFE…..>>
 

and

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
