Negligence towards recitationof the Quran and the Quran asa cure

Maulana Habibullah Khairabadi SahibTranslated by: Qari Ismail Ishaq Sahib

Many Ahadith of Hadhrat Nabi-e-Karim have been discussed regarding the recitation of the

Quran. We have realized and understood from them

that Hadhrat Nabi-e-Karim has sternly warned usagainst making our homes graveyards. Thus, we

should continue to recite the Quran in the homes,because the homes in which the Quran is not recited

are like deserted and inhabited.

Ponder and reflect! Hadhrat Nabi-e-Karim

has laid so much of emphasis on the recitation of the

Quran, yet we do not take heed. We do not realizewhat darkness we have brought over ourselves by

shunning the recitation of the Quran. Unfortunately,

the Quran is used to adorn our homes or at most it is

kept merely to recite on the death of some person. It

is for this reason that today our homes are void of

blessings and harmony. Even though outwardly itmay seem we are living a care-free and comfortable

life, but in reality we live in misery and affliction, a life

full of indulgence and sin. Why not so? The sayings

of Hadhrat Nabi-e-Karim cannot be false. Think


2/31

for yourself when there is total negligence and

indifference towards the Quran, never is it held in

the hand, and for years it is not read nor do we listen

to its recitation. Then, if Shaytan does take control of

such a house and that house is inflicted with

calamity, difficulty, hardship and stacks of worries,

then who is to be blamed.

Due to our indifference towards the Quran, wehave lost our direction. It is because of our attitude

towards the Quran that we have made ourselves

targets for criticism and condemnation. Our beliefs,

character, ibadat (worship), monetary dealings,

actions and deeds, in short every facet of our lives is

ruined. So to say, together with our character our

features have also become disfigured. The Quran is

neither in our hearts nor on our tongues, nor is it

visible via our limbs and actions. Yet we complain

that fate is treating the Muslims unfairly. We have the

audacity to complain and say that non-Muslims are

blessed with every type of bounty. They have wealth,

honour and ruler ship, and we as Muslims are

deprived of these privileges.

If only the Muslims could open their eyes and

see the injustices they are perpetrating against the

Quran then may be they will realize their

unpardonable error and folly. Instead of looking for

blame, the Muslims should rather turn their

attention towards the Quran and solve their


3/31

5

problems through it. Even during these forlorn and

trying times if we make the Quran our guide and

align our lives according to its teachings, then most

definitely we will progress tremendously.

Consequently, even the rulers and tyrants of the

day will be forced to accept the pure Deen of Allah

Taala.

The present day Quran is the same, whichwas revealed upon the most honoured and

distinguished personality who had made it the

directive and guide for the Muslims and the whole

of mankind. It had brought life to the souls of men,

and gave honour and dignity to the most

downtrodden and uncivilized nation on earth and

made them the leaders and rulers of the entire

world. The Quran made men leaders in knowledge

and virtue.

If we so desire even today we could turn the

direction of the whole of mankind towards AllahTaala the Creator, through the medium of the

Quran. This will be possible only, if we take the

Quran, off the shelves and place it into the

crevices of our hearts. The Quran is not meant to

be read upon only the dead, but also for the sake of

self-reformation, adornment of our character and to

rectify our monetary dealings and transactions. We

should make the recitation of the Quran our most

often read wazifah.

Hadhrat Nabi-e-Karim has said, O peopleof the Quran! Be mindful of the Quran. Recite it

day and night. Dont be oblivious of the rights of

recitation. That is, ponder and meditate in the

meanings of the Quran, and propagate it, so that

you may be successful, and gain goodness.(Mishkat)

Hadhrat Umar

says, Most surely, yourNabi-e-Karim has said that Allah Taala exaltsmany people by means of this Book (the Quran), and

He also degrades and disgraces many others by

means of the same, (Sahih Muslim). Those people who

have an affinity and love for the Quran and act upon

its injunctions, Allah Taala will honour them in this

world, and will raise their status in the Hereafter.

However, those who are indifferent to its injunctions

will be disgraced and misled, and will be defamed by

the people.

Hadhrat Umar Faruq once appointedHadhrat Nafi Ibn Abdul-Harith as the governor

of Makkah. He once enquired from him as to who

he had appointed as the administrator of forests.

Nafi replied that it was Ibn Abzi . Hadhrat

Umar enquired as to who Ibn Abzi was?

He was told that he was one of the slaves. Hadhrat

Umar then enquired as to why a slave has

been appointed as an administrator. Hadhrat Nafi said because he recites the Quran more often


5/31

7

(Sahih Mislim). It was on this occasion that Hadhrat

Umar related the above Hadith.

From the above incident, we come to

understand how important and beneficial the

recitation of the Quran is, due to which a person is

honoured in this world already. On the contrary, we

see the result of our indifference towards it before

our eyes. Hence, it is the duty of every Muslim torecite the Quran daily and to make an all out effort

to memorize some portion of it. Hadhrat Nabi-e-

Karim has likened the person who has not

memorized any portion of the Quran to a deserted

house (Targhib). Hadhrat Abdullah Ibn Masud

says that the most impoverished and derelict house

is the one in which the Quran is not recited (Targhib).

The Quran a cure for all

ailmentsOne unique feature of the Quran is that it is acure for all ailments, be it spiritual or physical. When

the pious, Allah-fearing people read the Quran, then

by the command of Allah Taala it is a cure for all

their sicknesses. It was through the Quran that the

people in the previous times were cured from

physical ailments as well. However, as time passed,

and the pious became fewer, the manifestations of

the effect of the Quran also decreased. The result is

that people today alternately go to doctors and


6/31

8

physicians for their sicknesses and ailments.

Hadhrat Nabi-e-Karim said that two things

should be used for the treatment of the ill, honey and

the Quran (Ibn Majah). Regarding honey, Allah Taala

says, that in it (honey) there is cure for thepeople.

Hadhrat Ali

says that the Quran is a

potent remedy for all ills (Itqan). Hadhrat Talha Ibn

Musarrifsays that when the Quran is recited in

the presence of an ill person, the sick person will

experience ease and comfort.

Once a Sahabi

came to Hadhrat Nabi-e-

Karim and complained of a sore throat. He was

advised by Hadhrat Nabi-e-Karim to recite the

Quran (Itqan). Similarly, another Sahabi

complained to Hadhrat Nabi-e-Karim about pains

in the chest. He too was advised to recite the Quran,

as Allah Taala says in the Quran that the Quran is acure for the ailments of the chest (Itqan).

Allah Taala has kept cure for all illnesses and

ailments in the Quran and we should have full faith and

conviction in it. Our conviction and faith in the Quran has

become weak. Therefore, when we recite it, we do not

notice the desired effect. The faith and conviction of the

previous people was strong in the Quran, therefore,

when they read it, it had the desired effect.

May Allah Taala bless us too with the blessings


7/31

of the Quran and make us benefit from it, both for the

purposes of this world and the Hereafter,Aameen.

TAFSEER(Commentary of the Holy Quran)

By: Maulana Mufti Muhammad Shafi Sahib(Rahmatullaahi Alaihi)

SURAH AL-BAQARAHNote: This part of Tafseer is the remaining portion of Surah Al-BaqarahTafseer and hence connected with the previous chapter of Surah Al-Baqarah Tafseer.

The obedient are freed of worries(5) Then, the text of the Holy Quran makes a

subtle distinction between the two. In saying that

those who follow divine guidance will have no fear,

it speaks in general terms and uses a noun the

Arabic phrase:

is to be translated literally

as no fear upon them. But in the next phrase

, the Holy Quran employs a verb,placing before it a pronoun as the subject. The

literal translation of the phrase is: they shall notgrieve. The implication here is that being totally

free from all sense of loss is possible only to Men


8/31

10

of Allah or the saints1who follow divine guidance in

all its details; as for the others, no man whether an

emperor or a billionaire, can help being grieved at

the loss of a valued object or the frustration of a

desire, all of which is but a necessary part of the

scheme of things. The friends of Allah do not have

to grieve, because they annihilated their owndesires and their very will in submitting themselves

totally to the will of Allah. The Holy Quran also tells

us that those who go to Paradise will thank Allah

for having removed from them all regret and

sorrow: : All praise belongs ofAllah who has put away all sorrow from us (35:34).

It means that some degree of sorrow is inevitable

for every human being except those who have

perfected and made fast their relationship with

Allah.

Let us make it clear that the verse does

negate all grief and sorrow in the case of the

friends of Allah, but the negation applies only to

the loss of the worldly things and the frustration of

1 The word Saints is very weak and only an approximate translation of

the Arabic phrase Awliya-Allah, the friends of Allah a conceptwhich has only a faint resemblance with the Christian idea of a saint.

Consequently, the term men of Allah has been used most frequentlythroughout this commentary.


9/31

11

the worldly desires. As for the anxiety about the

other world and the fear of Allah and the deep

sense of awe before His Glory, the friends of Allah

are far ahead of other men in these. It has been

reported that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)

often appeared to be worried and in deep thought

this was not for fear of any trouble or loss in theworldly sense, but on account of his anxiety for his

Ummah, and of his awe before Divine Glory.

Nor does this verse imply that prophets and

saints should not feel the instinctive and all too human

fear when confronted by things which are generallyknown to inspire dread. The Holy Quran itself relates

how the prophet Musa (Moses)

was struck with

fear when his stick turned into dragon:

Musa felt a fear in himself. (20:67)

But it was only an instinctive and physical fear,

and the incident anyhow belongs to the early days of

his prophet hood, for when Allah said:

: Do not be

afraid, the fear disappeared altogether. We mayexplain the incident in another way also. His fear did

not arise as it does in the case of ordinary men, from

the apprehension of some harm or hurt from the


10/31

12

dragon, but from the likelihood that the extraordinary

event might lead the Israelites into misguidance. So,

this fear was not worldly, but other-worldly.

[Tas-heelul Ahadith]1.

HadithHadhrat Abu Musa Ashari (Radhiyallahu Anhu) says

that Hadhrat Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said:

The virtues of Ayesha (Radhiyallahu Anha) over other

women is the same as the virtue of Thareed over the

foods.

Commentary:

In this Hadith the excellence and superiority of

The Descriptin of the curryof Rasoolullah(Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)


11/31

13

Sayyidah Ayesha (Radhiyallahu Anha) over other women,

and thareed over the foods is mentioned. Thareed is

a delicacy with gravy and meat. Besides being tasty

and nourishing, it easily digests, and was counted

among the best of foods.

Similar other types of dishes that Hadhrat Nabi

Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) loved was gourd(marrow). He used to search for pieces from the

curry and eat it. Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi

Wasallam) also regarded vinegar as a delicious curry.

In one Hadith Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi

Wasallam) has mentioned: Use olive oil for eating andfor using (on the body) for it is from a mubaarak

(blessed) tree. Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi

Wasallam) also ate roasted meat. Hadhrat Nabi Akram

(Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) loved eating forequarter/

forearm (of a goat/sheep). He used to break the

meat with his teeth.

Hadhrat Abu Hurrairah (Radhiyallahu Anhu) says

that he saw Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi

Wasallam) eat a piece of cheese. Another dish

mentioned in the Hadith is called Saweeq.

Saweeq is a kind of mush/drink made from wheat or

barley (it also included dates with sugar).

Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) was


12/31

14

once observed taking a piece of bread and put a

date on it and he said This is the curry of this

bread. He then ate it.

Hadhrat Anas (Radhiyallahu Anhu) says: Hadhrat

Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) liked to eat the

leftovers of a pot and cup (plate). This is a sign of

complete humbleness. He first fed others, then likedfor himself what was leftover.

Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) also

loved halwa (sweet dish/anything sweet) and honey.

Similarly Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)

ate dates with cucumbers. A cucumber has a cold

effect and dates a hot one. By combining the two it

becomes mild. At times melon was eaten with fresh

dates.

LESSONS

1. Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)

gave virtue to thareed over dishes..

2. Thareed is a delicacy in which bread is mixed

with the meat gravy.3. Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)

also loved gourd (dodhi).

4. Olive oil should be used in food and for rubbing


13/31

15

on the body as it is from a mubarak tree.

5. Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) also

liked sweet things and honey.

Seerat of Hadhrat

By: Hadhrat Maulana Qari Syyed Siddeeq Ahmad Baandwi Sahib

(Continued from the previous issue)

Arrival of delegations

The Muslims got the opportunity of spreading

Islam on a large scale once the roads became safeafter the treaty of Hudaybiyyah. That is why the

Quran referred to this treaty as a clear victory. There

were still a few people who were prevented from

accepting Islam due to pressure from the Quraish.

The conquest of Makkah removed this obstacleand the message of the Quran reached every home.

The Quran, with its uniqueness, left a firm impression

on the hearts of everyone. Those who could not

tolerate the Muslims or Islam were now, actually

coming from far off places to Hadhrat Nabi Akram(Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). Happily, they accepted Islam

and were prepared to sacrifice their lives for Islam.

Most of these delegations came in 9 A.H. The number


14/31

16

of Muslims increased to such an extent that when

Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) performed

Hajj in 10 A.H. more than one hundred thousand

Muslims joined him. The number of those who were

unable to perform Hajj, was more than one hundred

thousand.

Hadhrat Abu Bakr , the ameer of Hajj

After returning from Tabuk in 9 A.H. Hadhrat

Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) appointed Hadhrat

Abu Bakr as the leader of Hajj and sent him to

Makkah.

10 A. H.Hajj

Hajj was already made fardh before 10 A.H.

Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) left for

Hajj on the 25th Zee Qadah 10A.H, the Sahabah(Radhiyallahu Anhum) joined him. They numbered over a

hundred thousand. Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi

Wasallam) tied his Ihraam at Zul-Hulaifah six miles

from Madinah. They reached Makkah on Saturday,

4th zilhijjah and thereafter performed Hajj.

Khutbah at Arafaat


15/31

17

On the 9th Zilhijjah after reaching Arafaat,

Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) delivered

a very inspiring khutbah which was full of advice and

wisdom. This was the last message of Hadhrat Nabi

Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). The following lines of

the khutbah should be inscribed on the heart of every

Muslim.

O People! Listen to me so that I will be able toexplain all those things that are necessary. I donot know whether we will be able to gather next

year.

The life, wealth and honour of a Muslim issacred until the Day of Qiyaamah as is thesanctity of today (Day of Arafah), this month(Zilhijjah) and the city (Makkah). Each personshouldfulfill the responsibility entrusted to him.

O People! Your wives have rights over you and

so do you have rights over them.

O People! All Muslims are brothers. The wealthof another person is not lawful without hispleasure. Do not become disbelievers after mydeath by fighting with each other. I have leftwith you the Book of Allah. If you hold steadfast

to its laws, you will never be misguided.

O People! Your Rabb (Lord) is one and yourfather is one. You are all the children of Aadam

and Aadam

was created from soil.


16/31

18

The most honoured amongst you is he who hasthe most fear of Allah Taala. No Arab holds

virtue over a non-Arab except by virtue of histaqwa (fear of Allah). Remember! I haveconveyed the message. O Allah! You are mywitness that I have conveyed the message.Those present, should convey the message to

those who are absent.

After performing Hajj, Hadhrat Nabi Akram

(Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) remained in Makkah for a few

days and thereafter returned to Madinah.

11 A. H.Sariyyah of Hadhrat Usaama

After returning from Makkah Muazzamah,

Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) prepared

an army on the 26th Safar 11 A.H. to fight the

Romans. Amongst the soldiers were many leadingSahaabah (Radhiyallahu Anhum) like Hadhrat Aby Bakr

Siddeeq

, Hadhrat Umar Farooq

and Hadhrat

Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah

. Hadhrat Nabi Akram

(Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) appointed Hadhrat Usama

as the Ameer (leader) of this army. This was the last

army that Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)

arranged himself. This army had not yet leftMadinah


17/31

19

when Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) fell

ill. Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)

thereafter passed away and Hadhrat Abu Bakr

dispatched this army.

Question:- Is the rank of man higher than that of

angels?

Answer:- Some human beings like Ambiyaa and

especially Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi

Wasallam) are higher in rank than the angels.

However, some angels like those who are

appointed to bring Wahi(revelation) are of higherrank than some human beings like the general

masses. The common and general masses

amongst humans have a greater rank than the

common angels. This detail appears in the

following text of Sharh-ul-Aqaaid:

The proof of Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu AlayhiWasallam) being alive

Question:- Since when did the issue of hayaat-un-Nabi(Hadhrat Nabi Akram Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam being

alive in his grave) come about?

Answer:- From the time of Hadhrat Nabi Akram

(Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) passed away the issue

had come into existence.

Question:- Nowadays, different sects have sprung up.

Some claim that Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi

Wasallam) is alive and some claim that Hadhrat

Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) is dead.

Answer:- How can this second claim be true when

Hadhrat Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)

himself has mentioned, I am alive in my grave.

An incident of Hadhrat Madani

inrelation to Hayaat-un-Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).

Once while conducting a hadeeth lesson in

Masjid-un-Nabawi, the issue of Hayaat-un-Nabi

came up and Hadhrat Maulana Husain Madani presented proof for it. The students

present there continued raising objections and


19/31

21

Maulana continued to answer continued to

answer each of them. Suddenly Maulana looked

to the right. The place that was the Rawda-e-

Aqdas was no longer visible and instead Hadhrat

Nabi Akram (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) himself

appeared in his physical form. Maulana then

said: if you do not believe it through proof, then

believe it through seeing. When they looked

back after turning around, the Rawda-e-Aqdas

again appeared as normal. (to be continued, Insha Allah)

THE LEGAL STATUS OF

FOLLOWING A MADHABBy: Justice Muhammad Taqi Usmani

Translated by: Muhammad Amin Kholwadia


RESPONSES TO DOUBTS RAISEDAGAINST TAQLEED

Advocates of Taqleed claim nothing more than

this. In summary Taqleed advocates:

1. There is no Taqleed in the fundamental beliefs ofIslam.

2. There is no Taqleed in issues which are obvious

and which have been transmitted to the degree


20/31

22

that they have become almost undoubted.

3. There is no Taqleed in those issues of theQuran and Sunnah which are conclusive and

are not contradictory.

4. Taqleed is made in those issues where there are

different and perhaps contradictory statements

on the same issue in the Quran and Sunnah

and where instead of relying on ones own

judgment, the opinion of an expert scholar is

trusted and adhered to.

5. The Mujtahid is not infallible and therefore hisopinions are subject to correction.

6. If an expert scholar finds a sound Hadith to

which there are no contradictions, then he must

forsake the opinion of his Imam and follow the

Hadith.

So if this method is tantamount to Shirk, then what

act on earth is protected from this sort of Shirk? In reality,

even opponents of Taqleed engage in a form of

following, after all even they were not born Mujtahids.

Many opponents are not scholars in any sense of theword and even those who are scholars do not have the

academic command over every issue. Antagonists of

Taqleed who are non-scholars will follow the


21/31

23

answers offered by scholars. Hence, there are several

compilations of Fatwas where no immediate

commitment is made to present proofs, and even where

there exists some dialogue on proofs, how can a lay

person determine right from wrong? Thus even the

opponents of Taqleed end up being Muqallids

(followers). As for those who are scholars, they remainunder the obligation to examine all the resources on the

Quran and Sunnah before reaching a decision in an

issue. (to be continued, Insha Allah)

Bringing UpChildren In Islam

By: Maulana Dr. Muhammad Habibullaah Mukhtaar

Translated by Rafiiq Abdurrahmaan


Some of the reason for debauchery in

children:

Encourage children to be well-mannered

and cool tempered and behave well towards other

people. We refer to some verses of the Noble

Quran and some Ahadith on the subject of

adopting honour, good manners and dealing with


22/31

24

people kindly.

The Noble Rasool (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) was

sent to teach graceful manners to the people1. Allah

Taala, The Exalted, has commanded the adopting

of good manners.2 Compassionate relations with

people and a forgiving attitude are part of good

manners.3 On the day of Qiyaamah (resurrection),

the scale will tilt in favour of a well-mannered

person.4 This is what the Noble Rasool (Sallallahu Alayhi

Wasallam) has commanded.5 A well-mannered person

is one who is full of faith.6 Good manners are a

significant part of the Deen.7

By being well-mannered and followers of

Islamic etiquette, murabbiis can set an example to

children and guide and lead them. We are

commanded in the Noble Quran to forgive and

forget, and to adopt impeccable manners.8

Therefore, parents and guardians must fulfill

their obligations towards the education and training

of their children. They must remember that if they

are lethargic in this regard, children will turn out to be

vagrant and vulgar. (to be continued, Insha Allah)

Misleading BookDear Editor,

Home Truths

Dear Editor,Your editorial (Academic Deviance at KU,An-Noor,
