TRUE AKIDAH IN ISLAM, A Path Of Paradise ( Jannah )

In the name of Allah Subhanahu, the most merciful and generous for whom all the praises
belong.

In the holy book quraan, at the starting verses after first chapter Surah Fateha, i.e. the
starting few verses in surah Bakarah, there is a mentioning of the definition to identify the
people of the faith and infidels. There is a mentioning in these verses about the people
who declared themselves to have brought faith but Allah said that in fact, they had no
faith at all and in their hearts there was a desease ! These are called as munaafiq. The
munaafiq are hidden infidels or hidden disbelievers. So, these hidden disbelievers are
required to be identified to save our faith or imaan. It is only the akidah, by which, these
hidden infidals or munaafiq can be recognised.

Some of the Islam followers say that in quran in verse 3-103 it is written that “And hold
fast all together to the rope of God and be not divided” so we must unite without
referencing to differences whatever it may be. But does it mean that previous nations
should also be included as the people of book (ahle book) also worship the same Allah
(God) to whom we the Muslim worship? No, the unity here means unity among the
righteous (true aqidah) people. In quran there is an ayat “the truth arrived and the
falsehood went and the falsehood had to go” This ayat clearly says that true akida people
and false akida people cannot unite. The false akida people have to go. So, the unity can
be possible with true people at one side and the unity of false people at other side. Both,
the true and false can never unite.

Only the true akidah in Islam is the right path towards Allah and the beloved prophet. The
Imam of prayer, i.e. salaat or namaaz must follow true akidah. The salaat will be
accepted only if one is offering prayer with true akidah.

The prophet of Islam had forecasted that there would be as many as 73 firqah or groups
in Islam but only one would be on right path and that will go to jannah or paradise. Only
one group will follow the traditions and actions followed by the companions or sahaabas
of the holy prophet.

While it is very difficult to identify the right group on the basis of Kalamah, Salaat,
Fastings ( Rosa ), Zakaat and Hajj as all groups perform these basic orders of Islam, it is
only akidah by which the right group of jannah can be recognized. The properties of true
akidah are mentioned below. If following properties are not adhered to by the imam of
the prayer, one should not perform salaat behind such imaam. Because, in hadis, it has
been narrated that ones deeds depend on ones intentions. Now if we perform salaat
behind faulty imam by saying in our intention that we are following this imam of present
prayer, then according to hadis, whatever akidah is followed by the imam will be
automatically counted as the akidah of his followers.
(1)The first kalemah, the foundation or heart of Islam is Lailah illallah Mohammed
rasulallah. Meaning is that, None but the Allah is one who must be worshiped and
Mohammed ( Pbuh ) is the messenger of Allah.

Here, very important thing to note is that Mohammed ( Pbuh ) is a messenger of Allah.
See, the present tense has been used. Past tense is not used. One cannot say that
Mohammed ( Pbuh ) was a messenger. Hence, it is crystal clear that prophet Mohammed
( Pbuh ) is always alive.

(2)In holy book quraan, in surah Bakarah verse 154, it has been mentioned that those who
are killed in the way of Allah are not to be called as dead, but they are alive but you
(people)do not know. The ayat is “ la takulu le mayyuktalo fi sabilillahe amawaat bal
ahayaa walakin la tashourun” Here, those who are killed for the sake of Allah are called
Shahids (martyr) and they are always alive. Now in holy book , it is mentioned in ayat 69
of surah Al Nisa that the nabiyyin,siddiqin,Shohadas (martyrs) and saalehin are
considered to be best friends of Allah upon whom he granted prizes (ne’amat) and at
other place in quran further stated that they(these friends) are happy with Allah and Allah
is happy with them. So, the true belief is that all friends of Allah are alive as martyrs are
belonged to this group who are alive according to quraan.
In surah Aley Imran in quran, in verse 169 it is written that “ wa laa tahsabanna allazin
qotelu fi sabilillah……” do not imagine the martyrs who are killed in the way of Allah as
dead, but they are alive and they are provided provisions(rizk) by their lord.

(3)It is the well known thing that the sahabas or companions of the prophet followed the
prophet in the best way and the prophet was very pleased to see it. He told that his
sahabas were like stars and following them or their guidance would lead you to the right
path.
Now one can see from the various hadis books and sahabas’ history that when they were
in need, urgency or help, they used to rush to their beloved prophet and the prophet used
to remove their woes. Though, Allah is there all times. The companions of prophet could
have directly sought help from Allah rather than to go to prophet. But this is not the case.
Hence it can be argued that a help from nabi ( rasul ) is a help from Allah. This can be
generalized to all friends of Allah called as auliya allah. In Surah Al Nisa verse number
80 in quran it is written “Whoever obeys Rasool (Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa
sallam) in fact he/she has obeyed Allâh. And whoever turns away, then anyhow we have
not sent you on those people as a custodian” clearly implies that obeying of Prophet
(Pbuh) is obeying Allah. The obeying itself includes any order which may include to seek
help from him (person to whom an order is given). This is the reason why the
companions of the Prophet(pbuh) used to go for help.
This seeking help of companions of prophet from him clearly implies that to seek help
from nabiyyin, siddiqin, salehin and shohada does not become shirq.
Following two examples are enough to understand that the sahabas were going for help to
beloved prophet. Examples of previous prophets are also given.
(a)One sahaba came to prophet and told, “ oh my sins, oh my sins.” meaning that he had
so much sins. The prophet asked him to utter couple of sentences of forgiveness what he
told three times and then prophet replied to him, “ go, all of your sins are forgiven.” Thus
one can conclude that the prophet was even able to see the gaib ( unseen ) that his sins
were forgiven. Ones sins are always a gaib or unseen. Nobody can see the sins forgiven
but of course, our prophet was looking sins forgiven.
(b)One another sahaba was eye-blind. He came to prophet and wanted that his eyes get
the sight. The beloved prophet put his saliva to sahaba’s eyes taking on to his finger tip
and the sahaba had immediately his blindness removed. There are so many such incidents
where sahabas asked prophet to help them instead of going direct to Allah.
(c)People sought help from Hajarat Issa (A.S.) to remove leprosy and blindness according
to Quran and Quran has not stated this thing as a shirq. As Ulemah of Islam is like
previous prophets, their help cannot be considered as a shirq.
(d)Musa (A.S.) asked dua to Allah to strengthen him with the help of his brother Harun.
This is written in holy quran. See, a prophet is requesting to Allah for his brother Harun’s
help for supporting Allah’s deen/religion. This is in surah bakarah.
(e)Hazarat Suleiman(A.S.) sought help of his court-member, hazarat Asif Barakhia, who
brought the robust throne of queen Bilkis within twinkle of eye lashes of hazarat
Suleiman(A.S.) This is according to quran in Surah Namal/an Ant.

The muslim believe that Allah is Khaliq- A creator, and all other thing except him is his
creation, then there is no chance of any shirq as even though one is asking help from
somebody, the original helper is almighty Allah and the party from which the help sought
is just a mediator for help of Allah. When such intension or concept is created, there
cannot be shirq. This is the reason our holy prophet forecasted that his ummah will not
be doing a sin of shirq. Yes, he told that his ummah will be trapped in temptation of the
rich.

(4) From the above when the friends of Allah are alive, their graves are considered as the
signs of Allah. When they are alive, their divine help can reach everywhere. In surah
Ambiya in verse 91, Hazarata Mayam(AS) and Hazarat Isa (AS) have been written as
symbol for alamin(creation). So, the prophets, the siddiquin, the saalehin and the martyrs
may be considered as symbols and so as their resting places(shrines) also. To respect
these shrines is a good and noble thing.

The prophet of Islam has been admired by holy quran in surah ahjaab saying him as
Siraaj- um-muniraa. ( Meaning very brightening sun ). Now see, if the sun of this world
is seen around half of the globe at a time, and that it will last till qayaamat- a day of
judgement, what may be the position of the sun of risaalat ( Siraj-um-muniraa ) told by
Allah. Undoubtedly our beloved prophet can be present everywhere anytime he may
wish. Ayat of surah tauba in quran “ lakad jaakum rasulum min anfosekum ………
Raufurrahim” tells that prophet has been sent towards us from mankind for mankind and
who gets woes when monenin(believers) are in trouble and he is well wishers and rahim
for the believers. The properties of Arrauof and Arrahim have been assigned to him to
help the momenin of all times and all places till qayaamat-a day of judgement. This
clearly states that the prophet is alive and is helping to the believers of all times and at all
corners of the earth.

(5)Our prophet is assigned a property of Rahamtal lil Alamin. ( Rehmat for all
Worlds ). In quran in surah ambiyaa it is stated “ wa maa arsalnaak illa rahamatal lil
aalamin” The meaning is that “and you are sent for no other cause but rehmat-the
blessings for all worlds.” It is said that there are 18000 worlds. Now to become rehmat
for all 18000 worlds can only be possible if the prophet can see those worlds, can reach to
those worlds and can help the creations of those worlds. So, indeed, he has been given
immense power by Allah to help and guide the entire creation of the universe.
Now prophet said that the Ulema ( Ulema-e-baatin ) of his nation are like the previous
prophets. This hadis is directed towards auliya allah- the friends of allah, who are like
previous prophets before hajarat Mohammed ( Pbuh ). So, their graves are considered as
signs(symbols) of Allah. Safaa and Marwaa are two small hills but in quraan, these hills
are shown as a sign(symbol) of Allah. This is, because, these hills have a relation with
one lady friend of Allah called Bibi Hazaraa (A.S.)who was searching water around these
hills in the desert for her son Ismail(A.S.). So building a relation with friends of Allah is
always a beneficial and blessing act. While anything related with the friend of Allah is
recognized as a symbol of Allah then definitely, the places where such friends of Allah
are resting in their graves must be considered as the symbols of Allah. To express love
towards such symbols of Allah, one can kiss such symbolic structure of grave. Saitan had
worshiped Allah for 240 million years but when he refused to honour the prophet
Adam(A.S), he was punished and made saitan, kicking at his previous worship. So, to
disregard or to dishonour any friend of Allah by whatever way becomes a reason of great
displeasure of Allah. We can obtain a divine help by visiting such holy places of graves of
auliyas, the friends of Allah, just to please them. Due to this reason, hazarat Khwaza
Moinuddin Chishtee Sanjari(R.A.), a great saint in India, had stayed for forty days and
did his prayers at the grave of great saint hazarat Daata Ganj Bax Ali Hijaweri(R.A.) at
Lahore in Pakistan and received immense spiritual blessings from his grave. His historic
stay is commemorated by a symbolic room constructed at the grave vicinity of Daata
Ganj Bax. After receiving blessings from his grave, Khwaza Moinuddin (R.A.) uttered
praising sentences “Ganje baxe faize aalam majahare noore khuda, Naqisaara peere kamil
kamilara rehnuma.” The meaning is- “From Ganj bax, whole of the world is getting
blessings who is the divine light of Allah and who is a perfect master for the uneducated
and who is a guide for the learned people like me.” One must follow the true path of such
great scholar and saint of Islam who made nearly nine million muslims. Such building of
relation with saints can be obtained by reciting their love songs and their praise songs
called as naats. By reading the books of saints of Islam and their history, true faith can be
sharpened. The building of relation of Allah’s friends can be achived by going to their
graves much often. If the dog who accompanied the ‘ashaabe kahaf’ the cave-people of
friends of Allah whose historical event is mentioned in holy book,quraan, is belonged to
paradise, and the donkey of hazarat Ujjair(A.S.) and the camel of hazarat Saleh(A.S.) are
belonged to paradise only due to their relation with friends of Allah, we will be definitely
among the people of paradise if we attach ourselves with any friend of Allah by whatever
good means.
For this reason, the great tomb of our prophet is a center of pilgrimage after hajj.
One must understand the basic thing of the holy quraan that while reading a true events of
previous nabiyyin mentioned in holy book quraan is giving us rewards (sawaab ), and
that reading of event in holy quraan can be treated as a prayer or zikr of Allah, we can
conclude that reading of history of an Islamic saints and recitation of their names and
praise songs can be considered as a zikr of Allah. In this manner, on the contrary, to
throw stones at the saitan, as is done during hajj, is also a zikr of Allah. Hence, to angry
with saitan and their followers and to say harsh words to saitan and his followers is also a
zikr of Allah. So, we can perform zikr of Allah by three different ways(a) by reciting holy
attributed names of Allah by tongue or by heart(b) by reciting names of friends of Allah
and reading their history guidance message and (c) abusive or harsh speaking and
abusively reacting to saitan and their followers. Surah lahab in quraan comes under this
“C” category.

Above faith is a true aqidah in Islam. If your beliefs are according to the beliefs
mentioned above, you will be certainly on the right path of Islam. So, come to this right
path and be the heirs of the jannah or paradise.

(6)And the solid argument in support of prophet’s ilm-e-gaib ( knowledge of

unseen ) is that prophet could see angels or malaaeka ( farirshta ) as he could see to
jibrael and could talk to jibrael and that the prophet can see all malaaeka who bring durud
and salaam from muslim ummah to the grave of the prophet. The common man or human
being cannot see the angels whereas the prophet can see them. There are examples in the
hadis that prophet could see malaaeka. The Malaaeka and Jinn are the creations of Allah
who are gaib for common human being. Thus one can easily conclude that prophet knows
the gaib- the unseen. A kind of ilm al gaib, known as ilm al ladunni, has been awarded to
hazarat Khidar ( A.S.) as stated in quraan, and our beloved prophet Mohammed ( PBUH )
is a leader of him, so, confirmation of prophet’s ilm al gaib is thus proved by the holy
book. In surah taqweer in quraan, it is clearly stated that this prophet is not a miser to
show the gaib-the unseen ( wa maa howa alal gaibe bedaneen ). So, according to holy
book, the prophet has not only acquired the knowledge of gaib-the unseen but he is
generous to show it. One of the unseen creation, the jinn can even be seen by common
human if one is possessed by the jinn or one who makes the jinn as his servant by some
ilm or knowledge. So, it is possible that with the help of knowledge and divine strength,
if common men can be able to see some gaib or unseen creations, there is every matter to
believe without doubt that the highest learned prophet of Islam can see gaib and can
control them too, for, he has been taught by the Allah.

(7)In holy book quraan, it has been mentioned several times that Allah has put so many
signs for the clever persons to think and then questions why the persons are not going to
think. It means that we must think the nature and glorify the Allah. Upon healthy and
positive thinking for the sake of Allah, one will definitely get the true path. Upon
thinking about Iron piece inserted into red hot oven, one will see the Iron piece becomes
red hot. Before the Iron piece was inserted into oven, it was cold, its colour was grayish
black. One can hold it by ones own naked hand. But see the effect of its contact and its
relation with the oven fire that for just few minutes of its contact with oven fire, the Iron
piece got the burning property of fire then think while our beloved prophet remains in
contact with Allah all the times, how can the properties of Allah not be received?
Certainly, the properties of Allah are received by the prophet. The Allah has assigned the
prophet so many properties. One such property is AL Adlo ( Justful ). So, Mohammed
( Pbuh ) has also this Al Adlo property. Second property is Al Haqq.( Truth ) so the
prophet is also Al Haqq. In short, the Allah’s properties are assigned by Allah to his
beloved prophet. In this way, when Allah is everywhere so as his prophet. Allah is al-alim
so as his prophet is al-alim. When al-alim property is assigned by Allah, then the prophet
has all knowledge including the gaib or unseen. In surah fatah in quran, the hand of the
prophet has been called as a hand of Allah at the incident of bait-e-rizwaan for this
reason. Such properties are assigned to all friends of Allah through prophet via spiritual
guide. When the believer obtains properties of Allah in a perfect way, he is said to have
reached to the state of fanaa-fi-allah. It must be noted that acquiring attributes from Allah
cannot be said as association or partnership with Allah. Allah has delivered these
attributes to his friends. So, supremacy of Allah is not challenged at all. The friends of
Allah are the sources from where the light(noor) is emanating or revealed. It is for this
reason that though Allah is speaking quraan but the voice is coming out from the holy
mouth of the prophet.

For the above reason, there is a hadis al qudsi that Allah says that when a true believer
prays so much with zikr tremendously and continuously (voluntary prayers) then a time
will come when his hands will be the hands of Allah, his eyes will be the eyes of Allah
and his tongue will be the tongue of Allah. When the believer reaches this state, he will
have properties of Allah assigned to him and he will be able to create miracles and he will
be in the group of friends of Allah called as Auliya Allah.

It should be noted that in quran, in surah al Ahzaab in ayat number 45 it is written that “
Ya ayyohannabi inna arsalanak shahidaun wa mubashsheraun……………sirajam
munira” “O prophet, we have sent you as witnessing, giving happy news, fear warning
and calling towards Allah by the order of Allah and as a shining(brightening) sun(or
lamp)” Everybody knows what should be the attributes(qualities) of a good witness. The
witness must be physically present at the place of an event for which he/she is witnessing.
Further, witness must have seen and recognized the characters of an event. So, all the
doubts about attributes of the prophets and friends of Allah are now removed. From this,
one can easily differentiate between the true akidah and bad akidah people. Some people
argue that we must be unite and should not differentiate among muslims! But bad akidah
people cannot be true muslims. Can we mix milk with a curd(yogurt)? If the milk say that
the curd is from the milk so let us unite (the curd and the milk), then what will be the
result? In stead of curd becoming milk, the milk itself becomes curd. This is the reason
our beloved prophet warned us about various groups and told that only one group is on
right path and that will go to jannah.

In verse 4-41 of Quran states “Then think what they will do at that time when WE will
bring a witness from each nation and on those people WE will raise you (Muhammad,
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) as a witness” So, our Prophet is witness of all the people
from beginning till qayamat.

(8) The important thing to note is that while the companions of the
prophet best followed the prophet and they and their followers till eight centuries never
spoke single sentence against prophet which might even smell to show our beloved
prophet like a common human, the faulty or false groups can be easily identified. Call
them to show single incident of sahaba, tabein, tabe-tabein in which they-the false people
would like to consider our prophet as without knowledge of gaib or not able to help or
not able to go anywhere. In holy book quran, there are some ayats which were used to
say in front of non- believers ( kafirs ) or in front of munafikin but those ayats(sentences)
must not be taken as qualifications for the prophet. Those ayats are set for the examples
to show kindness, nobleness, unproudiness, simplicity and non-arrogantness ( modesty )
in front of non-believers. And for this reason, the companions of the prophet
demonstrated the way how to follow the prophet. They used to praise the prophet through
out their lives after accepting Islam. This can be understood in this way that when the
school teacher of 8th class teaches to the students of that class, he will demonstrate before
them so simple but if the same teacher will teach the class of 12th , he will demonstrate
higher things. In the same manner, our beloved prophet demonstrated his prophethood
according to the learning capacities of the persons. Some verses (ayats) are descended in
quran to show piety and purity of Ummul Mo’meneen Hazarata Ayesha Siddiqah (R.A.).
These verses descended in connection with the event that during traveling in a caravan at
one occasion, hazarata Ayesha (R.A.) missed the caravan as she was busy in finding a
necklace which was broken in a tangle with a bush-branch while she was returning from
a natural call in the early morning. The palanquin of Hazarata Ayesha(R.A.) was set on
the camel without Ayasha (R.A.) entered in. Nobody knew this until, as usual, one man
returned to the place of caravan stop-stand after the caravan left to see if anything left
(utensils etc) by some one among the caravan people. This man was one of the
companions, saw hazarata Ayesha (R.A.) there, and he brought hazarata Ayesha (R.A.) to
the caravan. The rumours were spread by disbelievers and munafiqin to spoil image of
hazarata Ayesha (R.A.) by this incident. So, Allah descended verses in favour of hazarata
Ayesha (R.A.). By reciting this verses, the people will praise hazarata Ayesha (R.A.) for
her piety till the day of judgement. Such events must not be taken to create suspicion
about Ilm –al –gaib of the holy Prophet (Pbuh). The prophet is always happy with the
will and intention of Allah. It was Allah’s intention that Ayesha (R.A.) be praised for her
piety till qayamat. For this purpose, such type of test was necessary in which she was
passed. For example, if a wealthy man has a locker to preserve money and gold. He has a
key for that locker. He can open a locker at his will. Not that all the time at every minute
he locks and unlocks the locker. In the same way, the Prophets and the saints use their
power at their will. Further, the Prophets have to demonstrate the examples for future
reference, and for that, sometimes they have to show patience by remaining silent from
using power. If a cloud covers the sun causing weakening sun rays, in fact, it is cloud
(the incident, the rumours) which is responsible to weaken sun rays but actual power of
sun is not reduced! We feel that the sun has become weak but in fact it has not weakened
at all. So, such verses can be regarded as a test of Prophet and ummul mo’meneen. And
during Allah’s test, Prophet cannot use power given by Allah. So, it is a lesson taught by
our prophet not to take decision influenced by any rumours in future if such incident
occurred. Some bad aqidah people use these verses in an abusive way to spoil the
qualification of ilm –al-gaib of our beloved Prophet. How can we pray salaat behind such
people?
(9) The easiest way of identifying the true akidah is like this. As for example if
Mr.Tariq has obtained Ph.D. degree, the highest degree of a university and there are four
persons who are describing him. One calls him as a 9th grade passed, second says him
first university degree passed, third person says him as master’s degree holder and fourth
person calls him as a doctorate or Ph.D. degree holder. From these persons who has
correctly recognized Mr. Tariq ? Definitely, the fourth person has correctly recognized
Mr. Tariq. Of course, other three are correct but ultimate correct is the fourth person who
could recognize the ultimate degree. Exactly in the same manner, only the right path is
that true akidah in which our prophet is recognized with the highest degrees.
If other three persons deny Ph.D. degree for Mr.Tariq then they are considered as false or
wrong persons due to their not recognizing the degree. The smallest degree of our
Prophet is, according to hadis, “Allah ya’ati wa ana kasimun” meaning “Allah is giving
to me(to Prophet) and I am the distributor” The treasures of almighty Allah are with the
Prophet and those are being distributed by the holy prophet to whom he may wish. This
thing is worth noting! All other degrees of our Prophet are greater than this. This shows
the greatness of our Prophet. It is the customs in the world that a person who holds the
office of a mayor of a city is recognized as a mayor. If somebody identifies him as a
human being, that person will be considered as a mad or a sick person! The bad akidah
people are doing the same job like a mad man by not recognizing degrees (attributes) of
our prophet. What a foolishness bad akidah people has, they recognize the degree of
president of a country but they cannot recognize degrees of our holy prophet !

(10)In salaat (namaaz), there is “attahiyaat” ( attahiyaato wassalawato ) which is

compulsory to recite, and which contains in it the words- assalamo alayka
ayyohannabiyyo, meaning salam to you o nabi, clearly states that nabi-
the prophet is in front of you. In Arabic, the root word is alaa. Alaa means at or upon.
Alaa is made of arabic letters ain, laam, ya. If you join small kaaf after the last letter “ya”
of alaa, it will make alayka-at you(upon you or to you ). If “ha’” is joined after “ya” the
word alaa will become alayhe-upon him. Ha and Mim if joined after ya will make alaa as
alayhim (upon them), if nun and alef are joined, alayna(upon us) will be made. If small
kaaf and mim are joined, alaykum(upon you all) in plural form will be made. From this,
one can easily conclude that prophet is present in front of you during salaat(namaaz).

(11)In holy book quran, in ayat two of surah Hujarat, “ ya ayyohallajina aamanu la
tarfau aswaatakum……. Wa antum laa tashourun” states that “o believers, do not keep
your voice louder than the voice of nabi(Pbuh) while talking to him as usually you talk
loudly to each other while you talk to each other, lest your good deeds should be
destroyed and you even cannot know” This ayat is alarming us that even to speak louder
in front of nabi(pbuh) is treated as insult to him and becomes a reason to destroy our
good deeds. Now think of those who speak displeasing words about our prophet by one
or other way. What will happen to those people ? Their good deeds are vanished without
their knowledge. They will know this thing at the time of day of judgement. Normally, if
someone drinks wine, a sin will be written in his or her account as wine is prohibited in
Islam but this sin will not erase his or her good deed like salaat(namaaz), fastings etc.
This clearly implies that to insult or to displease nabi or any friend of Allah becomes so
great sin that cause all previous merits(sawaab) of good deeds destroyed. Further, in ayat
number 104 in surah bakarah, holy quran teaches us “ya ayyohallajina aamanu la takulu
raaenaa wa kulun zurranaa….azaban alim” do not say raaenaa(to his beloved prophet-
pbuh) and say anzurnaa and listen to him(prophet) and there is tremendous woes(azaab)
to disbelievers(infidels). The word raaenaa has good meaning in arabic language but it
has abusive(mean) meaning in the dictionary of jews. So, Allah declared through quran
that it will be considered as insult to his prophet if some word is used for his prophet
which has abusive meaning in any language of the universe eventhough there is no
intention to do any kind of insult. The history of descending this ayat was that the
companions of prophet(pbuh) used to say the word raaenaa just to request the repetition
of meaning what prophet talked of during holy speeches. Though, the intention of the
companions was never to have any kind of bad meaning, the quran ordered not to say any
word which can have bad meaning in any other language or dictionary. Thus clear
indication is that Allah wants no smell of disrespect of his beloved prophet from near or
far. Any kind of disrespect to prophet or friends of Allah will be considered as a sin of so
high magnitude that it will erase all good deeds of a person.
Only disbelief (kufr) can make the good deeds erased and this ayat relates the sin as good
as that of kufr(disbelief). So, come to true akidah and make our prophet happy by
whatever way you can. The akidah shown in this essay will definitely make our prophet
happy. These beliefs are adopted by the saints and friends of Allah.

(12)In surah Mujadilah in ayat number 22 it is written “La tajidu qawman yuminoona
biAllahi waalyawmi alakhiri yuwaddoona man hadda Allaha warasoolahu walaw kanoo
abaahum aw abnaahum aw ikhwanahum aw AAasheeratahum olaika kataba fee
quloobihimu aleemana waayyadahum biroohin minhu wayudkhiluhum jannatin tajree
min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha radiya Allahu AAanhum waradoo AAanhu olaika
hizbu Allahi ala inna hizba Allahi humu almuflihoona
”You will never see that those people who believe in Allâh and the Last Day they love
those people who have opposed Allâh and HIS Rasool (Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi
wa sallam), even if they are their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their family
members. These are those people in whose hearts Allâh has imprinted Faith and has
strengthened them with a spirit (Rûh) from HIMSELF. HE will admit them into such
Gardens (Paradise) underneath which canals will be flowing. There they will live
forever. Allâh is pleased with them and they are pleased with Allâh. They are the
members of Party of Allâh. Be aware! Only the members of the Party of Allâh are going
to be successful.”
These verses of quran advise us to detach ourselves from those whosoever talks ill,
abusive or displeasing words for our prophet.

(13) In surah Mudassir, verse 25 it states that “This is a word of a human” Word is meant
here as quran and human is meant for prophet Mohammed(pbuh). These words were
spoken by the non believers but in the immediate next verse Allah replies to non-
believers that “Soon I shall throw them in hell fire” Now think about this. Some so called
today’s muslims used to say our prophet as human being only. Such people must see the
reply given by Allah. Hence the strong faith muslims today call such people as one kind
of present day munaafiq. And due to this they avoid to perform salat behind faulty akidah
imam.

(14) When Allah made (His) covenant with the prophets, (He said): “Behold that which I
have given you of the Scripture and knowledge. And afterward there will come unto you
a messenger (Prophet Mohammed-Pbuh), confirming that which you possess; you shall
believe in him and you shall help him.” He said: “Do you agree, and will you take up my
burden (which I lay upon you) in this (matter)?” They(All the Prophets) answered: “We
agree” He said: “Then bear witness each other and I will be a witness upon you.” –
[Quran 3:81]

These verses are the dialogue of Allah with All prophets’ souls in the world of souls
before the creation of physical humans on this earth. Allah made a covenant from the all
the souls of the Prophets that they must obey and help Prophet Mohammed (Pbuh) in
whose time he would descend on the earth. This was the condition to obtain prophet-hood
for all the Prophets ! From this one can understand the reality of Prophet Mohammed
(Pbuh). If any Prophet had refused this covenant, his Prophet-hood would have lost !
Prophet Mohammed(Pbuh) became the leader of all the Prophets and he lead the prayers
in Al Aqsa Mosque at the time during the me’raj, the ascention towards heaven and above
to meet Allah. As Prophet was descended as a final Prophet, all the Prophets asked Allah
about how they could obey Prophet Mohammed(Pbuh) according to covenant as he was
descended last, Allah ordered them to meet him and follow him in the prayers during
night journey of me’raj. This was the reason why All the Prophets were gathered to meet
Prophet Mohammed (Pbuh) in Al Aqsa mosque.

(15)In Surah Al Ahzaab, verse -6(quran) it is written “Annabiyyo awla bilmu’menin min
anfosehim wa azwazohu ummahatohum” meaning that the Prophet (Mohammed-Pbuh) is
nearer to mo’menin than their lives/souls and his wives are mothers of mo’menin. So,
the prophet is near to all believers till qayamat(judgment day) in such a way that he is
more nearer than believers’ souls. It must be noted that word “mo’min” is used. It means
that he is near to only true believers and not to all humans. So, the qafirs and munafiqs
are avoided from nearness. So, one can easily recognize the bad aqidah people who say
that prophet is not near and “Ya Rasulallah” cannot be said! True aqidah people say “Ya
Rasulallah” because they know that prophet is very near, near than their souls and listen
to them.

(16) In Surah Al-Nisa, in verse number 174 it is written in quran “Ya ayyohannaso qad
jaa’kum burhanum min rabbekum…….Nuram mubinaa” meaning “O people, came to
you from your lord an argument and descended towards you shining light” Here,
“argument” is called for beloved Prophet (Pbuh) and “light” is called for quran. So, our
beloved Prophet is a clear argument in favor of Allah. Our claim is “No other but Allah is
a lord to be worshiped” and its argument is Prophet Mohammed(Pbuh). If an argument is
imperfect, the claim will be definitely lost. Some bad akidah people sees imperfectness in
our Prophet (Pbuh). Allah and his Prophet (Pbuh) protect us from such people.
(17) In Surah Al Maidah in verse 35 it is written “Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo ittaqoo
Allaha waibtaghoo ilayhi alwaseelata wajahidoo fee sabeelihi laAAallakum tuflihoona”
”O people, who have brought Faith, Fear Allâh and seek the means to be closer to HIM
and do strive hard (do Jihad) in HIS Path, perhaps you may attain success”

This clearly implies to seek wasilaa-the mediation or means to get closer to Allah. The
means may a good deed. And to take allegiance of a friend of Allah to take his guidance
to get closer to Allah is undoubtedly a good deed. This verse supports the act of taking
bait (peer-Muridi). Further in Surah Al Fatah there is a mentioning of event of bait-al-
ridwan, when companions of Prophet (Pbuh) take bait (allegiance) on the blessed hand of
Prophet (Pbuh) and quran further states that on their hand rests the hand of Allah.
Subhanallah, what a pious and great deed the deed of taking bait is! Now a day bad
akidah people deprive the people from such a virtuous deed in the name of innovation
(bida’ah). In fact the bad akidah peoples’ groups are new, only 50-100 years old, their
books are new, they derived innovated things and their ideology and philosophy are
innovated. The groups of bad akidah themselves are innovation in Islam. We must detach
ourselves from such innovated group as hadis tells “every innovation is bad”

(18)In quran in Surah Al-Nisa verse 64 (4-64) it is mentioned like this “Wama arsalna
min rasoolin illa liyutaAAa biithni Allahi walaw annahum ith thalamoo anfusahum
jaooka faistaghfaroo Allaha waistaghfara lahumu alrrasoolu lawajadoo Allaha tawwaban
raheeman” meaning “And we have sent messengers so that by the command of Allah they
must be obeyed and if from them (believers) anybody commits sin (mistake) he/she must
go near to you (to prophet-pbuh) and ask for forgiveness from Allah and Prophet (pbuh)
also ask for his/her forgiveness, then Allah will be found most merciful to remove sins”

This verse guides us to go to the Prophet to ask his help to remove sins. Allah is sufficient
and yet he advised the believers to seek help of his Prophet (sav) indicates that help of
Prophet (sav) and help of any friend of Allah is a help of Allah. As shown previously, the
friends of Allah (nabiyyin, siddiqin,shohadas and saalehin) are the party of Allah. Bad
akidah people are easily exposed by this verse. In hadis book an incident has been
recorded that a companion of the Prophet (sav)came near the grave of Prophet (sav) and
recited this verse and asked for his forgiveness and he heard the voice from the holy
grave that he was blessed by the Prophet (sav) and forgiven and obtained jannah. This
incident had occurred few years after Prophet (sav) took veil from this physical world.

(19) In holy Quran verse( 5-15)"There has come to you a light from Allah and a clear
Book” shows that the Prophet is Noor(light). In hadis book there is a hadis of Prophet
revealed by hazarat Jabir bin Abdullah (RA) who narrated that Prophet (sav) told him
“First of all Allah created the noor (light) of your nabi (Prophet) and from that light he
created everything of his creations” The well-known scholar al-Alusi says that the light in
question is no other than the Prophet, may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him. He
quotes the follower, Qatada, as an authoritative source for this opinion, as well as other
well known scholars, pointing out that this is the most logical interpretation of the
construction of the verse.
“Although the Prophet’s light is most powerful in the universe since he is the nearest
created being to Allah, it is not only the one. Angels are made of light, the quran
is light, the spirits of human beings are light, faith is light, knowledge is light, the sun, the
moon, and the stars are also lights. The light of each human being depends upon his faith,
knowledge, and virtue. Thus the most powerful lights are those of Divine Messengers,
then those of Prophets, saints, virtuous believers, and finally those of sinful believers.
This is the hierarchy of human beings. Both the first and the last are human, all have
lights, and all are slaves of Allah, but the distance between the top of the pyramid and its
bottom is so great that those at the bottom, in Paradise, will see those at the top as distant
as, in this world, we see the stars at night.(Tirmidhi)”

Some bad akidah people try to diminish the rank of our beloved Prophet by saying that he
is made of clay (Allah protect us from such belief) and noor is hidayat only as regards to
quran verse (5-15) in which noor is quoted for the Prophet! If one is going to translate
the quranic verse (5-15) according to bad akidah theory, it will be like this “ came to you
hidayat from Allah and hidayat” As kitab (quran) is hidayat itself. The true translation is
“Came to you from Allah the light and the clear kitab(book)” Here light is obviously
meant Prophet Mohammed (sav). To such people quran gives guidance in the verses in
which Prophet Musa (AS) requested Allah to see him. But Allah told Musa (AS) that he
would not bear Allah’s noor. But Musa (AS) insisted further and Allah replied him to see
on the mount Toor where Allah descended his light ( high intensity light-tajalli). Musa
(AS) saw the reflected light from mount Toor and his eye sight was lost. The
accompanied companions of Musa (AS) could not bear even that reflected light and died.
So, the Noor is one attribute and the Hadiyy (Hidayat) is another different attribute. The
Noor al Hadiyy is the combination of two different attributes. The combined attributes do
mean that “light giving hidayat” is noor al hadiyy.

So, the noor of Prophet Mohammed (sav) is created from the noor of Allah is the true
akidah in Islam. Imam Busairi (RA) in his qasidaa Burida Shareef states about Prophet
Mohammed (sav) that his status in humans is that the ruby has in stones. Though Ruby is
among the stones, there is a big difference between stones and ruby. Similarly, Our
Prophet (sav) is among the human but he is noori basher (human dressed in the light).

(20) The Prophets, The Siddiqeen , shohada (martyrs) and Shaleheen (friends of Allah)
can go anywhere they wish from their graves. During me’raj (journey to heavens and
further) our Prophet (sav) lead the prayer(salaat) in Al-Aqsa mosque where all the
previous Prophets came to Al-Aqsa mosque from their graves and performed salaat under
the leadership of Prophet Mohammed (Pbuh). This is very clear evidence that the
Prophets (and friends of Allah) can help the needy people coming out of their graves if
they so wish. They may help spiritually as well as physically if required.

IMPORTANT:
In holy quraan, it is written in surah Hasr that if quraanic verses descended on the
mountains, the mountains would break up into particles like sand! Now such heavy
verses were taken by our Prophet through angel jibrael(A.S.) but think of those verses
which were taken directly from Allah by our Prophet without any assistance from
jibrael(A.S.) which are known as hadis-e-qudsi. Hadis-e-qudsi were those talks which
were spoken by Allah through the heart of our Prophet. In narrating such hadis, our
Prophet used to say that “Allah says that…..” In such hadis, actually the talk was said by
Allah and Prophet himself was the narrater. The weight of such hadis-e-qudsi could not
be taken up by even jibrael and hence such talks of Allah had to be directly put in the
heart of the holy Prophet. The Significance of hadis-e-qudsi is so great. One such hadis is
“Allah says that he cannot be contained in the earth or skies but he can be contained in
the heart of the mo’min(believer)” This hadis explains who the perfect believer is. For
this reason, the hearts of the spiritual Islamic saints are reckoned as qibla. For this reason,
holy house of Mecca is said as house of Allah as it is built by hazarat Ibrahim(A.S.) and
hazarat Ismail(A.S.). For this reason, Prophets hands are said as hands of Allah. Due to
this reason, sajad-e taazim is allowed for pious saints(friends of Allah) and prophets,
though it is not compulsory like previous nations’ laws(shariat). The fastings of month of
muharram,that is, fastings of aashura, 9 &10 were compulsory in previous shariat but not
compulsory in Islam but are allowed to keep if a person so wish. In the same way sajad-e-
taazim is allowed but not compulsory in Islam.
In hadis books, the incident of hazarat Akramaa has been mentioned. Hazarat Akramaa
performed sajada-e-taazim, prostration of respect at the holy feet of Prophet
Mohammed(Pbuh) at the time of accepting islam. Beloved Prophet did not advise to
hazarat Akramaa or other companions gathered near holy Prophet not to perform such
sajada. This clearly implies that such sajada is allowed. Compulsion of such sajada is
removed due to the fact that it is difficult for common muslim person to recognize the
pious person or the friend of Allah. Only the person of wisdom and knowledge can
recognize the real personalities who may be respected by sajada-e-taazim.

On one another incident mentioned in hadis books, quoting that incident, some scholars
of islam declared sajad-e-taazim as haraam(denied work). This happened due to mis-
interpretation. One villager was arriving with his camel to Prophet. The camel made
sajada in front of our beloved Prophet. Looking to this, the companions asked holy
Prophet whether they should perform sajada as camel had done. In reply Prophet replied
“If I order you to perform sajada, I would order the wife to perform sajada at the feet of
her husband” In this hadis, it has been clearly mentioned “I would order” means if he
ordered then there would be compulsion. So, Prophet removed compulsion of sajada-e-
taazim, but still, its allowance is remained. Taazimi sajada depends on love and
knowledge of the performer. This is the reason why such act is common in the way of
tariqat, the more advanced sufi path, the path of friends of Allah. The great saint, hazarat
saiyed Nizamuddin Auliya (R.A.)had explained in details about such sajada and wrote
that sajada-e-taazim was allowed in Islam.

This short essay will be definitely useful to acquire true belief and akidah. Such akidah
will lead you towards jannah. The sins are forgivable but bad akidah or faulty akidah
cannot be forgivable. If Allah wants to take any one to jannah, he first guides to that
person towards true akidah. So, one must seriously think for the above essay.
SUMMARY:
(1) Covenant from all the prophets were taken to obey Prophet Mohammed (Pbuh)and
help him to retain the Prophet-hood. This covenant was taken in the world of souls before
creating and sending humans on the earth. If any Prophet refused to make this covenant,
he would lose his Prophet-hood.
(2) In physical world in the time of Prophet Mohammed (Pbuh), the beloved companions
(the believers) were instructed by Allah that they must not talk loudly while talking in the
holy assembly of Prophet Mohammed (Pbuh) and warned that whoever talked loudly, his
all earned virtues for his good deeds would be erased!
(3) The third question in the grave will be asked about Prophet Mohammed (Pbuh). The
question is “What do you say about this man?” Remember, this is test in the grave. Hence
our Prophet is shown to the person going to die. The true akidah people will recognize
the Prophet but faulty akidah people will not recognize and will simply say that he is a
man ! This is, because, they used to speak the prophet as a “man” as his degree !

From this essay, the faulty akidah people can be easily recognized who used to talk
unpleasant and disrespectful words. The curd (yogurt) is a corrupted Milk. If the Milk say
that we (Curd and Milk) must unite, the result will that the milk will become curd ! The
Curd will not become Milk ! This is the reason our Prophet warned us about faulty akidah
(bad akidah) people.
