Maktab was the Childs link with sound Islamic
inheritance of religious knowledge. The challenge isto preserve our Islamic identity. Muslims should be
seeking sound Islamic knowledge to such an extent
that one is satisfied.
Pure Islamic knowledge is in reality a source
of enlightenment for Muslims. Many Muslims
perform many acts in Salah etc. which are improper
and not acceptable, but they are content with the
little knowledge they have. There are many things
permissible, but yet not desirable in Islam.
Muslims must endeavour to secure the
company of qualified, sincere and dedicated
learned scholars with sound character and high
morals to quench the thirst of those seeking sound
Islamic education. Unfortunately the standard of
Islamic education has been compromised
tremendously, resulting in the quality spiraling
downwards drastically.
May Allah Taala grant us courage to strive to
seek true, pure and sound Islamic knowledge and
have mercy upon us and the generations to follow.
Aameen Yaa Rabbal-Aalameen.

narrates: ‘I took bay’ah (pledge of allegiance) at the
blessed hands of Hazrat Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam) upon establishing Salah, discharging Zakah
and intending good for every Muslim. (Bukhari, Muslim)
ommentarySayyidina Jareer bin Abdullah (Raziyallahu anhu)

of Salah and Zakah, and that he would never wish that
any harm befall them and if any Muslim asks him for

‘None of you would attain perfect Imaan until he desires

grant him ease in the Dunya and Akhirah. He who hides
the faults of another Muslim, Allah Taala will hide his
faults in the Dunya and the Akhirah. Allah Taala
remains in the aid of his servant so long as his servant
is in the in the assistance of his brother. He who
undertakes a journey seeking knowledge, Allah Taala
will make easy for him a path to Jannah. Never do a
group of people gather in any house from the houses of
Allah reciting His Book (i.e. the Holy Quran) and
discussing it among themselves, except the tranquility
descends upon them, mercy enshrouds them, the
angels throng around them, and Allah Taala mentions
them in the presence of those that are with Him (i.e. the
Angels). He whose actions delay him will not be
hastened by his lineage!” (Muslim)
ommentary
The Hadeeth teaches us the virtue of the
following:
1. Helping those who are in difficulty.
2. Granting respite to those debtors who are
experiencing financial hardship.
3. Hiding the personal faults of Muslim individuals.
4. Seeking knowledge (Deeni knowledge – knowledge
of the Holy Quran, Sunnah etc)
5. Reciting the Holy Quran in the Masjid.
6. Attending Deeni gatherings.

Note:
1. “He who hides the faults of another Muslim
……..” The aim of this sentence is to discourage
ghibah (backbiting). It, therefore, means that we
should not publicize the personal mistakes of
particular individuals. However, it does not mean
that we are not permitted to publicly denounce/
condemn an evil that is common in society.
2. “He who undertakes a journey seekingknowledge” The commentators of Hadeeth are
unanimous that such statements (regarding the virtue
of knowledge) are regarding Deeni knowledge only!
The meaning of this sentence is that when a person
seeks knowledge of Deen, he learns to lead his life
according to the Holy Quran and Sunnah. Leadingones life according to the noble Quran and Sunnah
will Insha-Allah enter one into Jannah. It must,
however, also be remembered that, just as in all other
acts of worship (ibaadah), Ikhlaas (sincerity), is most
essential.
3. “He whose actions delay him ……..” The meaning of this sentence is that mans destiny in the Hereafter
does not depend on his lineage – eternal success
depends only on Imaan and good actions. Thus, if a
person of noble lineage (a respectable family) delays in
doing good actions, he will be deprived of Allah Taalas
pleasure and the eternal comforts of Jannah.
Lesson1. One must help fellow Muslim.
2. Grant ease to any person in difficulty.

Seerat-e-Paak
Nabi V ’s Love for Children
By: Maulana Abu Talhah Muhammad Izharul Hasan Mahmood SahibTranslated By: Mufti Afzal Husain Elias Sahib
LOVE SHOWN TOW RDS
CHILDREN IN GENER L
Yes my father is here, he is eating
Hazrat Abu Qatadah (Raziyallahu Anhu) had given aloan to another Muslim. Due to this person suffering
from extreme poverty, he was unable to repay the
debt. Every time Hazrat Abu Qatadah (Raziyallahu Anhu)
would come to him seeking the repayment, he would
hide in his house.
One day Hazrat Abu Qatadah (Raziyallahu Anhu)
came to his house seeking the repayment. He was
inside the house eating at the time. When Hazrat Abu
Qatadah (Raziyallahu Anhu) knocked at the door, thispersons child came to the door to find out who was it
and what was it they wanted. Hazrat Abu Qatadah
(Raziyallahu Anhu) enquired of the child if his/her father
8/13/2019 December An-Noor 2013

was present. The child said that he was present, and
he was busy eating. Hazrat Abu Qatadah (Raziyallahu
Anhu) then called out to the person saying that he knew
that he was in the house, and that he should please
come out. When the person came out, Hazrat Abu
Qatadah (Raziyallahu Anhu) asked him as to why he was in
hiding. The man said that he was undergoing difficultfinancial conditions. Hearing that he was suffering
from poverty, Hazrat Abu Qatadah (Raziyallahu Anhu)
began crying. He then said, “I have learnt from the
king of both worlds that he who gives respite or
overlooks the debt of a debtor, Allah Taala will
protect him from the fears and torment of the Day of
Judgment.” Saying this he forgave his debtor!
( Ahmad ).
Let us ponder for a while. The result of the truthspoken by the child was that the debt of the father
was forgiven. Indeed this is the blessing of speaking
the truth. On the other hand, look at the Sahaabi
(Raziyallahu Anhu); he wipes out the entire debt by virtue
of hearing one statement of Hazrat Nabi Akram
(Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and with what perfection did he
enact his teachings.
(To be concluded, Insha Allah)

ADVICES
THE DEOBAND ULAMAAND THEIR LOVE FOR
HAZRAT RASULULLAH "#
From the teachings and advices of Faqeehul-Ummat, HazratMufti Mahmood Hasan Gangohi ( Rahmatullahi Alaihi)
Compiled by: Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Rahmatullah Sahib Kashmiri(Daamat- Barakatuhum)
(Continued from the previous issue of AN-NOOR )
Avoiding customs of shirk and having firm
belief in the Oneness of Allah Ta’ala
A Muslim should have such faith that he is not
prepared to bow down before any idol, tree or
building. He should only bow his head before Allah
Ta’ala. He does not have to lower his head before
anyone or anything else.
He should believe that it is only Allah Ta’ala whocontrols all affairs. People who have such faith should
ask only from Allah Ta’ala. When they are in need of
something, they seek the help of Allah Ta’ala. They
consider Him to be the only one who cures. He only is
the all powerful. He alone gives life. He is the one who
takes lives. They understood that benefit or harm is only
from Allah Ta’ala. They have discarded the thought that
any other being can benefit or harm them.
Hazrat Maulana Gangohi (Rahmatullahi Alaihi) writes, “I

do not consider that harm or benefit comes to me
from anyone other than Allah Taala. This thought no
longer remains in my heart.”
Leave alone the customs of Shirk, the senior
Ulama of Deoband remained completely safe from
even bidat (innovations).
Hazrat Gangohi (Rahmatullahi Alaihi ) and Hazrat
Sheikhul-Hind (Rahmatullahi Alaihi ) A yearly Urs celebration used to be held in
Gangoh at the Khanqah of Hazrat Sheikh Abdul
Quddoos Gangohi (Rahmatullahi Alaihi). Later on, this
Khanqah became the residence of Hazrat Maulana
Rashid Ahmad Gangohi (Rahmatullahi Alaihi). However,
during the three days of the Urs, Hazrat Maulana
(Rahmatullahi Alaihi) used to leave the Khanqah and leave
Gangoh. He would grant his students and mureeds
leave for three days to go away.” They would only
return when the Urs was over.
After teaching the sixth period on a Thursday, HazratSheikhul-Hind (Rahmatullahi Alaihi) would usually come from
Deoband to Gangoh to visit Hazrat Maulana Gangohi
(Rahmatullahi Alaihi). Once, Hazrat Sheikhul-Hind’s friend, who
was very close to him during his student days had later
on become a government employee, asked, “O
Mahmood, tell me, what is there in Gangoh, that you go
there every Thursday?” Hazrat (Rahmatullahi Alaihi) replied, “O
ignorant one! You haven’t experienced the benefits.
Come with me one day.” (To be concluded, Insha-Allah)

Potions for the Heart A Translation of Dawa-e-Dill
By: Hazrat Peer Zulfiqar Ahmad Naqashbandi Sahib Daamat-Barakatuhum
Continued from the previous issue of A N -NOOR
Become a sincere and active alim
A non-believer translates the Holy Qur’aan
However, the knowledge which is only limited
to talks without being put into practice, is nothing but
discovery or Malumaat. This is why in a Hadith, theProphet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) asked for beneficial Ilm.
Many a times, a person may even be an “Aalim” so to
speak; but his heart is ignorant. Allah Taala says in the
Holy Quran Subhan-Allah!
]øø†øðømûkø Úøàô]Ö j$íø„ø]ôÖFãøäüâøçFåöSo, have seen him who has taken his desires as his god?
[Al-Jathiya 45:23 – Only relevant portion of the Aayah is documented]
They have become worships of their desires,
lusts and wishes. All this is idol worship. The worshipof Allah Taala is a different thing altogether. After the
above Aayah, Allah Taala says in the Holy Quran:

go astray, despite having Knowledge, and has sealed his ear and his heart.
[Al-Jathiya 45:23 – Only relevant portion of the Aayah is documented]
Allahu Akbar!
Allah Taala has put a seal over his ears and heart…
æøqøÃøØøÂø×Foeø’ø†ôåÆôŽFçøé÷
And put a cover on his eye. [Al-Jathiya 45:23 – Only relevant portion of the Aayah is documented]

Now who will guide him after Allah Ta’ala? Still, do you not take lessons?
[Al-Jathiya 45:23 – Only relevant portion of the Aayah is documented]
Therefore, the acquiring of Ilm is but the first
step. True Ilm is that on which a person acts.
Otherwise, it will be mere Ma’lumaat , not Ilm. This is
why it is said:
]ÖÃ×Üe¡Â ÛØæe Ù
Ilm without action is an evil
And
]ÖÃ×Üe¡Â ÛØ•¡ Ù Actions without Ilm are a source of misguidance
So first one must acquire Ilm, and secondly act
upon it. (To be Concluded, Insha-Allah )

BRINGING UPCHILDREN IN ISLAM
By: Maulana Dr. Muhammad Habibullaah Mukhtaar Sahib
Translated by: Jenab Rafiq Abdurrahmaan Sahib
(Continued from the previous issue of AN-NOOR)
Mercy
During the days of Jaahiliyyah (period of ignorance
prior to the advent of Islam), Sayyidina Umar
(Raziyallahu anhu) was very rude and harsh, but, after
embracing Islam, it seemed as though mercy flowed
from his heart.
When Sayyidina Abu Bakr (Raziyallahu anhu) said,
farewell to the army of Sayyidina Usaamah (Raziyallahu
anhu) he forbade them not to kill any woman, aged
people or children. He instructed them not to pull out
trees or chop down any fruit-bearing trees, and not to
kill people who reside in churches. Such was the
compassion of Islam towards all living things that
centres were set up to look after lost dogs.
Islam also founded trusts to provide the poor with
the necessities for their marriage. Trusts were created
8/13/2019 December An-Noor 2013
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/december-an-noor-2013 19/30

for the sick and for travelers, so that they could be
attended to and fed. A trust was also created to help
employees who broke their masters utensils, so that
they could be reimbursed and protected against the
punishment of angry employers. Likewise, trusts were
created to provide clothes, food and so on. Madrasahs
were also built. The qualities of mercy and tenderness
promoted our ancestors to carry out such deeds.
Selflessness
Selflessness is to prefer others over oneself in
matters involving profit and personal interests.
This is a great psychological awakening. When it
is done with the aim to seek the pleasure of Allah
Taala, then it is a sign of true Imaan and a pure soul. It
is a strong pillar supporting collective and mutual
assistance. The Noble Quran created a sense of fraternity among Muslims and declared a selfless
person as a successful person.1
The Ansaars offered
equal shares to the Muhaajirs, thus presenting a grand
example of selflessness that is not found anywhere
else. Thus we learn that when a Sahabi of the NobleRasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) , was presented with
a piece of a sacrificial animal, he gave it as a gift to
1Surah Hashr, 59:9.

another, who passed it on to a third person who passed
it on to a fourth person, and so on. In short, each of
them preferred the other over himself until the item
returned to the first person.1
Ummul Mu-mineen, Sayyidina Zaynab bint Jah-
sh Al-Asadiyyah (Raziyallahu anha) was known as
Ummul-Masaakeen (mother of the poor and needy),
because of her selflessness. At the time of
distribution of gifts, Sayyidina Umar, (Raziyallahu anhu)
sent her share. She promptly distributed all of it
among various people. Sayyidina Aaishah (Raziyallahu
anha), distributed ten thousand Dirhams in charity.
Adawii says, “During the Battle of
Yarmuk, I went looking for my cousin. I had some
water with me. I said, ‘if I find him wounded I will give
him this water to drink. I found him. I said to him, ‘Do
you want to drink water? he indicated, ‘Yes, with his
head. At the moment nearby someone moaned, ‘aah
aah. My cousin indicated that I must go to him. I saw
he was Hisham bin Al-Aas. I found he had died. I
returned to Hisham and found he had died. I came
back to my cousin who had also died. None of them
had drunk the water due to ee-thaar (selflessness) for
one another.” (To be continued, Insha Allah)

n time and on time
“….. and the student to attain first position in the
entire school is the brilliant Umar Ali?”
I was so excited to hear these words from my
teacher at the awards evening that it could almost
burst. I then walked up to the stage to collect my prizes
as all my friends congratulated me. However, as I got to
the stage, I suddenly heard my mother shouting, “Getup Umar! Are you not going to school?”
A slap on the head soon had me sitting up in my
bed and I realized that I was still dreaming. “Sleeping late
and unable to get up early in the morning!” I heard my
mother saying as I rubbed my eyes and looked around
me.
It was very late when I went to bed last night and
I had forgotten to set my alarm. By now I had missed
the car to school and would have to take a bus and
then walk the rest of the way. Looking at the clock, I
was happy to know that there was still three quarters of
an hour left.
I jumped up and went straight to the bathroom,
where I spend 15 minutes. I then dressed in my uniform
and wore my shoes without any time to polish them as I

ought to have done. My mother always told me to get
all my things ready the previous night, but playing had
made me forget.
I then started to comb my hair, but I would not come
right. As I struggled in front of the mirror, father remarked,
“So much time to front of the mirror? It seems like
everyone in the school is going to be staring at you only.” I
then ate a quick breakfast and rushed out of the door.I just made it on the last bus and managed to
grab on to one of the handles since all the sitting space
was taken. Suddenly the bus braked at the stop and I
was sent flying across to the end. Everyone laughed as
I got up and dusted my clothing off. The conductor then
came around to collect the bus fare and I was forced to
part with my spending money, which would not have
been necessary if I was early enough to get the car.
Anyway, the bus finally halted a stop and I sprang
off to walk the other half of the way to school. I was happy
to note that the bus saved half the time, but when I lookedat my watch, all my happiness disappeared. There was
only five minutes left for school to start.
I started to run as fast as I could, but I soon
stumbled and fell headlong on the pavement as my sole
buckled. I had forgotten to have my shoes repaired and
now it finally gave up. All flustered, I finally made it tothe school gate.
The first period was chemistry and the teacher
started to check our books. Only when he came to me
did I realize that I had been so busy playing that I had

forgotten to complete my homework the previous night.
I felt the sharp pain as the teacher hit my head. That
was the second shot for the day after mothers. The rest
of the day was just as remarkable and I was ever so
pleased that I was walking home alive that afternoon.
In keeping with events of the day, the afternoon
brought a storm and I was drenched as I walked. To
complete the day, I then slipped in the mud and wascovered in dirt when I got home.
When I knocked on the door, Mother laughed,
“Sorry, dear beggar, but the food is not yet ready.
Perhaps you should come later.” I bit my lip in anger,
but said nothing as I went upstairs to change my
clothes and take a bath.
I had finished eating when father gave me his
shirt to have ironed, saying, “Please do it for me
because I have an important appointment tonight.” I
took to shirt with me, but was irritated about having
another chore when I was so tired. “Perhaps I should liedown a while,” I thought to myself. However, I was so
exhausted that I immediately fell fast asleep.
“Where is my shirt, Umar?” were the words that
woke me up before the third slap of the day landed on
my head. Father would be late for his appointment
because of my negligence.
Dear friends! Not doing things immediately and

Letters to the ditor
Full of Fitan
Dear Editor :
The present day world is full of Fitan: Trials. To
save our Imaan from destruction, it is very necessary
to identify all such Fitan which are prevailing in our
day-to-day life. And for identifying a Fitnah, we need
sound knowledge of Islam. To achieve the pure and
sound knowledge of Islam, we have to keep the
company of pious scholars of Islam by attending their
classes and speeches, and we have to study theIslamic books written by righteous authors on
different Islamic topics. Your monthly journal, AN-
NOOR , is one of the best books on Islamic
knowledge. It provides us a special light: Noor , and
with the help of that light we are able to identify Fitanof our daily life. Thanks a lot for publishing such a
knowledgeable journal.

Imaan, it is necessary in the present era of
deterioration to keep the company of saintly scholars
and the pious men of Allah,” he stressed.
The faculty members of Darul-Uloom
Raheemiyyah were also honoured by Hazrat Qari
Sahib who spent some time with them and gave them
many valuable advices affectionately. “The scholars
of Islam should not feel themselves inferior as they
have been bestowed such an asset of honour which
provides satisfaction to their hearts,” Hazrat Qari
Sahib asserted.
On the sidelines of this academic event, the
respected students of Darul-Uloom Raheemiyyah
Bandipora held a congregation in which they
welcomed Maulana Nadeemul-Waajdi Sahib warmly.
In his well-grounded address to the Raheemi-
students, Maulana Waajdi Sahib gave a historical
account of his previous visit when he had visited the
Kashmir valley nearly 30 years ago.
“At that time, the said visit to Kashmir was
arranged in connection with holding a seminar on
Hazrat Allamah Anwar Shah Sahib KashmiriRahmatullahi-Alaihi at the College of Education
Srinagar. This seminar was organized by the then
Chief Minister of the J&K state-cum-President of
Awqaaf Islamiyyah J&K, Jenab Sheikh Muhammad

Kashmir received a visit from the scholars of Darul-
Uloom Deoband, especially the esteemed rector of
Darul-Uloom Deoband, Hazrat Maulana Qari
Muhammad Toyyib Sahib Rahmatullahi-Alaihi , who is
also the first patron of Darul-Uloom Raheemiyyah
Bandipora Kashmir. The concluding session of this
important seminar was held at Dargah Hazratbal
Srinagar on 21 November 1977 Friday and it was
attended by a large gathering of Kashmiri Muslims.
On that day, the Friday-Salah was led by Hazrat
Maulana Qari Muhammad Toyyib Sahib Alaihir-rahmah
with a big rush of Kashmiri Muslims. In the said
seminar, Tilaawat of the noble Quran was recited by
Hazrat Maulana Qari Abdullah Saleem Sahib who
also read his paper in the said historic seminar,”
Maulana Nadeemul-Waajdi Sahib expatiated. “At that
time, Hakeemul-Islam, Hazrat Maulana Qari
Muhammad Toyyib Sahib Rahmatullahi-Alaihi expressed
disappointment when he did not find any Deeni-
Madarasah established in the Kashmir valley and
said that only a Deeni-Madarasah is suitableaccommodation for the Islamic Ulama. After it, only
two years passed, Darul-Uloom Raheemiyyah was
established at Bandipora in 1979,” he added. “This is
the outcome of Ikhlaas: sincerity of these Akaabir

Alaihi-wasallam, themselves, for rendering excellent
services to the essentials of Deen-e-Islam viz.
