Please read what scholars have to say on this: "The JAMAAT TABLEEGH and the Deobandis" You have 3 options: (A) Read this Book online (recommended includes additional crossreferences and notes) (B) Download the Complete Book in the PDF Format (C) Buy the Paperback version of this Book Compiled by Sajid a Kayum This book highlights the errors of the Jamaat Tableegh and the Deobandis based purely upon quotations from their books, especially those referred to, by the common readers like, the Fazaail-e-Aamaal. The book explains how the Jamaat Tableegh has been instrumental in spreading Sufism and its deviant concepts under the garb of virtues. It will prove (insha'allah) that the mistakes of the Jamaat Tableegh are not only limited to minor issues, or in their specifying three days or forty days or the Khurooj, etc., but in Aqeedah (belief) and Ittiba (following the way of Allahs Messenger) For free download please visit:

Posts 108 Rep Power 0 Re: Banned Deobandi/ Shia Books Brothers here an excellent book to read: The Knowledge Of The Unseen THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE UNSEEN - "I`LM-I-GHAYB" by Professor Dr. Muhammad Mas`ud Ahmed, M.A. Phd. Translated by Prof. Azimi Faqir Muhammad Shaikh Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem 1. WHAT IS KNOWLEDGE? It is truly said: KNOWLEDGE is power - a great power, with tremendous potentialities and unfathomable capabilities. The ever growing expanse of knowledge in the modern age in all direction has amply unfolded and demonstrated the great significance and influence of knowledge over all things existing on the surface of the earth and beyond. The Holy Quran - the most accomplished and the final revealed Divine Book has laid great stress on the acquisition of knowledge and it`s blessings, inviting human Endeavour in seeking and preserving more and more knowledge for leading a successful life in this world and the Hereafter. The very first Revealed verses of the Holy Quran proclaim in an unambiguous manner that the acquisition of knowledge is the most fundamental pre-requisite for survival and development of existence (Wajud) in all its pervasive sense. Says the Holy Quran: "He (Allah the Almighty) taught (man) the use of the Pen (the basic implement in the field of knowledge) and taught man which he knew not (a divine invitation for research and advancement of knowledge so as to lead the life in conformity and obedience to Divine Pleasure)." 1 At another place it is said: "O my Lord! Advance me in knowledge." 2 These divine Revelations brought in focus the significance of knowledge to motivate and enlighten the human mind to seek more and more knowledge in any conceivably beneficial manner. The Holy Quran is a treasure house of Knowledge and Wisdom. It contains references or mentions at more that 800 places relating to knowledge and it`s derivatives, i.e. the innumerable branches of knowledge which continue to grow as the life advances from stage to stage. Similarly, references to "books" and "writing" are at more than 600 places in the

Holy Quran. This clearly indicates the divine emphasis on knowledge and its acquisition at all levels of life. In a tradition (Hadith), the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has said: "I have been raised as a teacher and an accomplisher of (refined) manners." 3 The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has laid great emphasis as a compulsive obligation of the Ummah to seek more and more knowledge and brought forth the blissful significance of knowledge. 4 Sayyiduna Ali (Karramallahu wajhul Kareem) has said: "The real dignity to men is through learning." The Holy Quran itself bears testimony to the significance of knowledge when its says that it was on account of his knowledge that Almighty Allah chose Sayyiduna Talut (alaihis salaam) as the King of the Bani Israel, "Allah hath filled Talut with Knowledge and bodily prowess." 5 The superiority of Sayyiduna Adam (alaihis salaam) - the epitomic symbol of human progeny - over angels (and all the creations) was on account of this knowledge alone.6 All these examples illustrate the significance and dignified evaluation of the acquisition of knowledge in the fields of human pre-eminence, viz. the Prophetic assignment, the leadership and Five Regent kingship for guidance the human destining as the Vicegerent of Allah on earth. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Surah Alaq: Verses 4-5 Surah Taha: Verse 114 Ibn-i-Abd al-Birr: Jami bayan al I`lm wa fazlihi, p. 47 ibid., p. 46, 49 Surah Baqarah: Verse 247 Surah Baqarah: Verse 31

2. THE TWO CATEGORIES OF KNOWLEDGE In its abstract sense, there are two kinds of Knowledge (or learning); the one which is taught in Madrasahs, school, colleges and universities (in the progressive order). For a layman as well as for the majority of the populace this is what constitutes the knowledge and it is believed to be sufficient to satisfy our material quest and urge in this behalf. However, there is yet another branch of knowledge which is taught and acquired directly or straightaway through the divine agency, with the functional audio-visual aids, such as books, papers, pens or such-like paraphernalia, needing neither the teaching institutes, such as schools, colleges, universities, etc. nor the professional teachers and degree holders. This is the transcendental or divine sector of knowledge, which in Quranic terminology is known as "I`lm-i-Ghayb" or the "Knowledge of the Unseen" 7 and which constitutes one of the fundamental tenets of Islamic belief. In fact, the belief and unbelief in the Unseen (Ghayb) is the distinguishing mark of a person being a Muslim or a Heathen. 8 This is the branch of knowledge which is super human in nature surpassing the human intellect as also the five proverbial senses on their own. The Knowledge of the Unseen (I`lm-i-Ghayb) is superior to and dominant over all other knowledge in any field of human activity, defying all methods of imparting and receiving education and knowledge. This is essentially an emblem of Divine Grace bestowed upon the chosen servants of Allah, like the gentle blissful rain showered upon the hearts and minds of the esteemed recipients on earth.

7. Surah Kah`f: Verse 65 8. Surah Baqarah: Verse 3 3. VERSES OF THE QURAN PERTAINING TO I`LM-I-GHAYB There are many verses in the Holy Quran in which there is mentioned or reference to I`lmi-Ghayb (The Knowledge of Unseen). It is clear from these verses that this I`lm-i-Ghayb pertain and belong to Almighty Allah alone. The following verses of the Holy Quran corroborates this proposition:A. "With Him are the Keys of the Unseen; the treasure that none knows but He." 9 B. "I know the secrets of the heaven and earth." 10 C. "Say: O Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)! The Unseen is for Allah". 11 D. "The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is asked to declare: Say, I tell you not that the Treasures of Allah are with me, nor do know on my own, what is hidden (In the Unseen)." 12 From these verses, it is learnt that the Knowledge of the Unseen (I`lm-i-Ghayb) belongs as His most exclusive supreme prerogative to Allah the Almighty. None on his own, can know the Unseen (Ghayb) unless bestowed by Almighty Allah as a grace (and not as a matter of right to claim). A little probe into these verses would reveal that while even the minutest part of the Ghayb remains in the Divine Authority, it is not to be said anywhere that Allah the Almighty does not grant this knowledge even to anyone among his servants nor that the treasure of the Ghayb remain un-bestowed and unshared by anyone else. This the prime point of consideration on which the Ummah must devote thoughtful attention to avoid any pitfalls in assuming or imbibing any self-founded notions of I`lm-i-Ghayb. This point is stressed again and again in the Holy Quran: A. "He (Allah the Almighty) alone is the Knower of the Unseen; He does not make anyone acquainted with the mysteries except the apostle whom He has chosen." 13 B. "Allah will not disclose to you the secret of the unknown, but He chooses of His apostles whom He pleases." 14 9. Surah An`am: Verse 59 10. Surah Baqarah: Verse 33 11. Surah Yunus: Verse 20 12. Surah Hud: Verse 31 13. Surah Jinn: Verse 26 14. Surah Ale Imran: Verse 179 4. LEVELS OF I`LM-I-GHAYB POSSESSED BY THE AMBIYA (ALAIHIMUS SALAAM) This, however, does not mean that Allah the Almighty restricts and retains the Knowledge of Unseen exclusively to Himself and does not reveal any part of it to any other person. No, not at all. Allah the Almighty has revealed and honoured His apostles as much and as and when He willed, for guidance and enlightenment to cope with the circumstances and situations confronting them viz-a-viz the enemies of Allah, and to fulfill the mission assigned to them. These phenomena have been illustrated at various places in the Holy Quran.

Some of the relevant verses are quoted below:A. Regarding Sayyiduna Adam (alaihis salaam) and the Angels, it is said: "He (Allah) taught the names (nature and qualitative attributes) of all the things and placed them before the Angels". 15 B. Regarding Sayyiduna Da`ud (alaihis salaam), it is said, "He (Allah) gave Da`ud power and wisdom and taught him whatever (else)He willed." 16 C. In respect of the I`lm-i-Ghayb to Sayyiduna Sulaiman (alaihis salaam), it is said, "O People! We have been taught the speech of the birds, and on us has been bestowed (a little of) all things." 17 D. For Sayyiduna Lut (alaihis salaam), it is said, "And to Lut We gave Judgement and Wisdom." 18 E. About Sayyiduna Yaqub (alaihis salaam) it was said, "He was, by Our instructions full of Knowledge (and experience), but most men know not." 19 F. Sayyiduna Yaqub (alaihis salaam) himself told his sons about this blessing from Allah thus, "Did I not say to you, I know from Allah that which you know not." 19 G. About Sayyiduna Yusuf (alaihis salaam), it is said, "When Yusuf attained his full manhood, We gave him Power and Knowledge; thus do We reward those who do the right things." 20 H. Regarding Sayyiduna Musa (alaihis salaam), it is said, "When he reached full age and was firmly established (in life), We bestowed on him Wisdom and Knowledge." 21 I. It is said about Sayyiduna Khizr (alaihis salaam): "So they found one of our servants on whom We had bestowed Mercy from Ourselves and whom We had taught knowledge (of special significance) from Our Own Presence." 22 These verses of the Holy Quran make it clear that Allah the Almighty bestowed the Knowledge of the Unseen (Ghayb) on His chosen servants, but is unfortunate that most people do not know this; on the contrary, even they refuse to believe it without realising the consequence thereof! These pious souls, at times on their own, disclosed this Divine bestowment in order to convince the people and clear their doubts and put them on the right track of faith and Belief. J. For example, Sayyiduna Isa (alaihis salaam) spoke to his followers thus, "And I declare to you whatever you eat and whatever you store in your houses." 23 (It meant that whatever they had eaten in the houses - within four walls - and whatever they had preserved therein, was well known to the Prophet of Allah. K. On another ocassion, Sayyiduna Yusuf (alaihis salaam) spoke to his fellow prisoners before telling them the meaning of their dreams. He said, "Before any food comes to you, I shall surely reveal to you the truth and meaning of this. It is due to the knowledge bestowed upon me by Allah that I have to reveal to you what you did not know." 24 These verses reveal that Allah the Almighty has bestowed I`lm-i-Ghayb to His chosen Apostles. To deny this, amounts to the denial and rejection of the Holy Quran itself. This is not an ordinary or routine knowledge. Elaborate precautionary and protective measures are adopted before such messages relating to the "Unseen" are despatched. Special angels are sent (on earth) who stay around the Apostles, on whom the Knowledge of the Unseen (I`lm-i-Ghayb) is bestowed. 25 The grant of I`lm-i-Ghayb is admitted by a great honour and whosoever of the Apostles are bestowed this Unique Divine blessing become the holders of great Divine Treasure. However, there is no uniform and set pattern of Divine Message transmitted to each recipient in accordance to their status.

According to the Holy Quran the status and nature of responsible of the Apostles vary from one to another. "Those Apostles, we bestowed with gifts (endowed with ranks, etc.) as willed by Allah." 26 Likewise the grant of I`lm-i-Ghayb to Prophets varies according to their nature of assignment relating to their prescribed mission. The story of Sayyiduna Musa and Khizr (alaihimus salaam) so vividly described in the Holy Quran explains this aspect of the proposition. Sayyiduna Musa met Khizr (alaihimus salaam) and requested him to enlighten him with the specific knowledge which Allah bestowed on him. Sayyiduna Khizr (alaihis salaam) accepted, but advised Sayyiduna Musa (alaihis salaam) to be patient and not to utter any word until he would permit him to do so. Whatever Sayyiduna Khizr (alaihis salaam) did was beyond the understanding of Sayyiduna Musa (alaihis salaam). The promise of keeping silence on events taking place before his eyes was too much for Sayyiduna Musa (alaihis salaam) to sustain and at last (he broke the silence) Sayyiduna Khizr (alaihis salaam) revealed the secrets of the events. Sayyiduna Khizr (alaihis salaam) did not keep him in his company any more. Details of the story is found in the Holy Quran 27 This clearly shows that the nature of I`lm-i-Ghayb even to Prophets of Allah was not uniform nor of equal measure. 15. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27.

5. I`LM-I-GHAYB OF THE HOLY PROPHET MUHAMMAD (SALLAL LAAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM) The Knowledge of the Unseen (I`lm-i-Ghayb) was also bestowed upon the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). This I`lm-i-Ghayb was, in essence, the most revealing and surpassing miracle given to the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). This miracle, in it`s totality and persuasiveness, surpassed all miracles given to other Prophets taken together. More or less 124 000 Apostles were raised at different periods of time with some specific knowledge of the hidden realm, i.e. I`lm-i-Ghayb. But the Knowledge of the Unseen bestowed upon the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was limitless in scope and magnitude. This is to say that each and every miracle in the nature of I`lm-i-Ghayb given to different Prophets was also given to the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was the epitomic symbol of all the previous Prophets in the past in respect of their qualitative characteristics and quantum of knowledge and spiritual enlightenment. Relating to this bestowment of knowledge and observation upon the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), the Holy Quran says:

"Allah has sent down to you O Prophet! the Book and Wisdom and taught what you knew not. Great is the Grace of Allah upon you." 28 In this virtuous essence the Quranic verse asserts that after bestowment of this everlasting treasure of knowledge now there remains no realm of knowledge and enlightenment which is not in the grip of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). This is what the Holy Quran describes as the "Fazl-i-Azim" (The Great Grace) - whatever the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was taught by way of knowledge was taught by Allah the Almighty. 29 If the teacher says to the pupil: I have taught you to read and you knew nothing before this, then he is justified to make this claim and there is nothing derogatory on his part to make such a claim; it cannot be termed as insolence to degrade the student. But if the student says to his teacher, you knew nothing and it was your teacher who gave you knowledge, then though, this logic cannot be denied. Nonetheless, it demonstrates that the student is guilty of insolence and misbehaviour towards his teacher. Such an example can hardly be traced in the annals of civilised behaviour. Whatever the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) knew was through the knowledge bestowed upon him by Allah the Almighty. This being the fact, if before imparting the knowledge through the Holy Quran, Almighty Allah mentioned the state of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam): "You knew nothing of the Book nor of the Faith (Imaan)." 30; it is consonance with the Almighty state of Divine Grandeur. It does not at all behove mortals like us to utter such words in respect of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). This would be downright degrading and insulting the high virtuous status of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). The uncontroversial fact remains that Allah the Almighty granted the I`lm-i-Ghayb to the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and if anyone denies and suspects the veracity of this Divine Truth, he is surely guilty of falsehood and diminishing the eminence of Divine Favour. If there be such a one, he ought to be condemned as a blasphemer, worthy of being expelled from the rank and file of Muslimhood. The quality of a true Muslim is that he accepts and believes as true each and every command of Almighty Allah and acts upon it ungrudgingly and unreservedly and induces others to do so. The Darbar (seat of pre-eminences) of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is a grand Darbar surpassing the grandeur of worldly kings and monarchs. It is an act of misbehaviour and misdemeanour even to utter loud words in his august presence; such an act causes the loss of other virtuous deeds of a Believer, forfeiting the Divine Grace. There is a stern warning against those who slip away slyly from his assembly without seeking his permission, this amounts to misbehaviour. For them there is stern foreboding of dire punishment on the day of Judgement. It is said: "Deem not the summons of one Apostle among yourselves, like the summons of one of you to another. Allah doth knows those of you who slip away under shelter of some excuse; then those of you who slip away under shelter of some excuse; then beware those who withstand the Apostle`s orders, lest some trial befell them or a grievous penalty be inflicted on them." 31 We can guess what would be the state of awe-inspiring grandeur of the Holy Company graced by the Holy Presence of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) where even the slightest misdemeanour is caught up as a misdeed inviting punishment from the providence. The companions of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) used to sit in his presence in due respect holding their breaths and not making any gestures to disturb the dignity of the assembly. They would only utter respectful words like: "O Prophet of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed at the alter of your dignity." To every question put to them, their reply used to be, "Allah and his Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) know better."

6. THE THREE DIMENSIONS OF THE GHAYB OF THE HOLY PROPHET (SALLAL LAAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM) In the light of the foregoing evidence it must be admitted that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was endowed with the Knowledge of the Unseen (I`lm-iGhayb) as a Grace from Allah. We can examine the issue from three angles. A. The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was granted this treasure of knowledge directly from the Providence, i.e. without the means of any agency conveying the "knowledge." B. Through the revelation of the Holy Quran which is the Treasure-House of all Knowledge operating in the universe. C. The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was sent as a "Shahid" (Witness), i.e. a person who is in constant touch will the affairs taking place in the world, examining and analyzing them as an observer with an insight to assess and analyse their influence in dayto-day matters. He thus remained ever aware of the God-gifted vigilance possessing full knowledge as an eye-witness, with powers of Haqq-ul-Yaqeen and Ain-ul-Yaqeen - the faculty of witnessing things with unwavering faith and certitude. By examining the Holy Prophet`s (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) Knowledge of the Unseen under the first view-point, viz. the bestowment of I`lm-i-Ghayb directly from Allah the Almighty, we might refer to the following verses of the Holy Quran:A. "These are some of the stories of the Unseen which We have revealed to you, O Prophet!" 32 B. "Such is one of the stories of what happened Unseen which We revealed by inspiration unto you." 33 C. "The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) does not withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen." 34 Examining the Knowledge of the Unseen of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) from the second point of view, the following verses of the Holy Quran are enough to open our eyes:A. "And We have sent down to you the Book explaining all things, a Guide, a Mercy and Glad Tidings to Muslims." 35 B. "The Quran is not a tale invented, but a confirmation of what (went) before it - a detailed exposition of all things." 36 C. "Nothing We have omitted from the Book." 37 D. "Surely there has come to you from Allah a Light and a Perspicuous Book." 38 D. "Nor is there ought of the Unseen, in Heaven, or earth but it is recorded in the Clear Book." 39 E. "There is no grain in the darkness (or depth) of the earth, nor anything, fresh or dry, (green or withered), but is inscribed in a record clear." 40

It is seen that in these verses, first there is the mention of the Holy Quran being the Kitabi-Mubeen - the Book Manifest making everything clear, without even the minutest part remaining under any shadow of doubt or omitted. It is worth observing that the Book manifest contains the mention of all things (with all their attributes), under the sun. Now just imagine what shall be the expanse and depth of the knowledge of the Person on whom the Book was revealed. Surely each and everything mentioned in the Book must have been in full view of the recipient. The phenomena must be pondered over in a most dispassionate and open-minded manner without casting any aspersions over the Divine bestowment on the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Examining the Knowledge of the Unseen possessed by the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as a SHAHID or witness to all affairs, the following verses carry us to the visionary world of enlightenment where we stand completely wonder-struck at the very idea of the extent of the knowledge which Allah the Almighty revealed to him so as to make him the true representative of Divine rights, not alone on this earth, but even forces of heavenly kingdom operating at the present moment as well as that would take place in the universe and the Hereafter. It is but essential that we should bow our heads and accept the truth of Divine assertions, and spare ourselves the repercussions, should any shade of wavering creep our mind and vision. It is beyond our capacity to guess the extent of Knowledge of the Unseen (I`lm-i-Ghayb) bestowed upon the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) by Almighty Allah. Only Allah knows that He has bestowed upon His beloved Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). A. "Surely We sent you as a Witness, as a Bringer of Glad Tidings and as a Warner." 41 B. "And We shall bring you as a Witness against the people." 42 C. "Surely we have sent to you (O men!) an Apostle to be a Witness concerning you." 43 D. "And one day We shall raise from all peoples a Witness against them from among themselves and We shall bring as witness against them from among themselves and We shall bring you as a Witness against them. 44 From these verses it is clear that on the day of Judgement not only the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) shall be a Witness over his own Ummah, but shall also testify before Almighty Allah on behalf of the peoples of other Prophets. Now this testimony or evidence can only be given by the person who is an eye-witness to all events and incidents under scrutiny on the Day of Judgement. This, in other words, means that the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is fully informed and kept in touch with all those events which he shall be witness to. Incidently, this also means that he is keeping watch over our deeds and misdeeds at all times. We should therefore beware of our activities lest any of them displeases or grieves him. This fact is further corroborated by the (under noted) traditions (Ahadith) of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam):A. In one tradition it is said: "As I see in front of me, so I see things clearly behind me." 45 B. In the second tradition the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is reported to have said: "I saw Prophet Musa (alaihis salaam) in the valley of Azraq, while passing from Mecca to Madina. He was reciting Talbiah. On another ocassion, I saw Prophet Yunus (alaihis salaam) wearing a long woollen overcoat and riding a red camel." 46 C. In the third Tradition, the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is described witnessing Paradise and Hell. 47 D. From the fourth Tradition it is learnt that the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) knows each inmate by name going in the Paradise or in the Hell. 48

E. From the fifth Tradition, it is learnt that when a man enquired from the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) whether he would go into Jannah or Jahannam, the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) replied without a moment`s pause that, "You shall go to Jahannam." 49 F. The sixth Tradition says: "My entire Ummah was presented before me with each individual`s scroll of deeds, good as well as bad." 50 G. In the seventh Tradition, the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said: "One night, my Ummah was presented before me at my Hujrah and I know each of them as clearly as anyone knows his colleague." 51 At one place in the Holy Quran, it is said: "Does he possess the Knowledge of the Unseen that he sees the dead?" 52 It is understood from this verse that only such a person possesses I`lm-i-Ghayb as is capable of seeing things beyond normal reach in terms of time and space. At various places in the Holy Quran, the transcendental power of witnessing things by the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has been described. 53 The truth is that when a Chosen Friend of Allah has seen Allah, nothing remains hidden from him. The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said, "I saw Allah the Almighty. He placed His Hand on my back. I felt the coolness in my breast. Within an instance everything became visible clear before me and I recognised everyone." 54 32. Surah Hud: Verse 49 33. Surah Yusuf: Verse 102 34. Surah Takweer: Verse 24 35. Surah Nahl: Verse 89 36.

THE PROPHET (SALLAL LAAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM) ALSO DISTRIBUTED PORTIONS OF HIS I`LM-I-GHAYB TO HIS SERVANTS So far we have been discussing the vast expanse and depth of the Holy Prophet`s (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) knowledge and meditative understanding of the cosmic forces operating in the universe together with the super human forces operating in the universe with super human visual insight of the Unseen as a special gift from the Divine Grace, transcending and surpassing human intellect, unmatched in the entire history of mankind.

We are apt to feel and think if the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) kept the whole repository of these God-gifted treasures, of the knowledge, particularly relating to the Unseen confined to himself alone or he also, as charitable gesture, passed on some part of it to his devotees who were eager and capable to receive and preserve the rare and priceless beneficence from Almighty Allah. It is learnt from different Traditions of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) that he not only favoured his devotees and admirers with this rare and Divine gift, but did so in a greater and open-hearted manner, taught them how communion with Divinity may be maintained and carried forward as the intellect advances and progresses in the realm or history. This is an expression of Divine Dispensation of charity among the fellow beings, the humanity at large for whose benefit the vast universe has been created. A. This is what the well-known and famous devoted Companion of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) Abu Zarr Ghaffari (radi Allahu anhu) has to say in this respect, "The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) did not leave this material world without telling us in effect that there is not a single bird flying in the atmosphere about which he left anything unsaid." 55 B. Another companion, Sayyiduna Huzaifa (radi Allahu anhu) reports, "Only the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) stood amongst us (to deliver a sermon) and disclosed before us every detail of events that were to take place that moment onward till the Day of Judgement; he left nothing. Anyone who could retain in his memory remembered it; and the one who forgot it, could not revive it afterwards." 56 C. It is reported in the Tradition: "The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) did not leave the world without telling the description of every disrupter (creating disturbance on earth) till the coming of the Day of Resurrection; everything, i.e. his name, his father`s name and the name of the tribe or clan to which he belonged." 57 D. The Battle of Badr took place on the 17th of Ramadaan. Before the fighting (Jihad) started, the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) went over the field and disclosed the identity of the enemies of Islam and indicated by placing his hand at different spots and telling "here so and so will be slain." When the battle was over, it was discovered that each and every person about whom the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) had indicated, was found at the very spot lying dead, neither inch more or less. 58 E. There is a lengthy Tradition (Hadith) of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) which is an eye-opener for any sceptic who entertained misgivings about the truth of the Holy Prophet`s (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) Knowledge of the Unseen. It is reported by Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (radi Allahu anhu), who says: "After the decline of the sun (noon) the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) came out of his Hujrah, and led the Zohr Prayer. After completing the prayer the Holy Prophet mounted the pulpit and delivered the sermon about the Day of Judgement and the big events that will take place before the advent of the Day. Then addressing the companions he asked them if any one of them had any question to ask from him. He proceeded, `I swear in the name of Allah, there is nothing that you would ask me and I will not answer it (no query, whatever its nature shall remain unanswered), so long as I am here.`" Sayyiduna Anas (radi Allahu anhu) reports that on hearing this the companions burst in tears, (for it forbode the grave tidings of his leaving the world). But the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) continued, saying again and again: "Ask me. Ask me (as none after me will tell you)." 59 The following verse of the Holy Quran bears testimony to his truth: "The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) does not withhold grudgingly a Knowledge of the Unseen." 60 It amounted to saying, "whatever you ask will be answered and whatever you will require, shall be granted."

The insistence of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) on oath in the Name of Allah and urging the audience again and again to ask and enquire about anything indicates beyond a shadow of doubt that by the Grace of Almighty Allah, the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was endowed with the Knowledge of the Unseen and was extremely generous to satisfy every enquirer in his quest for knowledge including the Unseen. An Arab Scholar, Shaikh Ahmad bin Muhammad Al-Siddique Al-Ghamari Al-Hasani has written a very learned book entitled "Motabiqa al-Ikhtia`at al-Asriya." (Mufti Ahmad Mian Barkati has translated this book in Urdu with the title "Islam aur Asri Eijadaat" printed and published at Lahore in 1980). In this book the learned scholar has collected forebodings of the Unseen, which the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has disclosed on various ocassions. One is explicably amazed and wonderstruck while going through these details how gracefully the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was honoured by Allah the Almighty about even the minutest details of the Unseen. It appears that the past, the present and the future lay clear before the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) like a mirror. Why this should not be so! because the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has himself said: "The keys of the Unseen were brought before me and placed over my hand." 61 Thus the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was made the key Bearer (Owner) of the treasures of the earth, 62 because one who possesses the keys, enjoys the right of possession too. This however does not mean that Allah the Almighty has divested himself of the Divine Powers of the Unseen. On the contrary, it indicates the Absolute Authority and Power of Allah even to bestow any one of His Choice anything as He pleases. It also demonstrates how much Allah has favoured and honoured the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)! These are, in fact, the keys with which the hidden meanings and interpretations of the Holy Quranic treasures are opened. The Holy Quran as the Divine Book, we all see and recite, but whatever the Prophetic Vision observes behind the contents of words and letters we cannot even imagine and visualize with our limited blurred vision of intellect. I might refer to but one verse of the Quran: "Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies of Allah." 63 In this verse the word "power" seems to denote nothing in particular, i.e. weapon or means to subdue the enemy, but when the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) lifts the veil from the word "power" then the human wisdom simply gets perplexed to the extreme, as the real significance, as expressed and stressed by the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is definitely beyond the reach of human intellect. Expressing the real significance of the word "power", he said: "Beware this power is Rami! Beware this power is Rami! Beware this power is Rami!" 64 In the Arabic language, the word "Rami" means to throw or strike. One of the important ritual observance during the course of hajj, is to throw small stones at the Satan which ritual is known as "Rami." In this Hadith (Tradition) the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) meant all such weapons which demand throwing or hurting from a distance at the enemy. The simplest form of this "throw" is by the hands with as much power as one is capable of, and this power is in the hands of those nations in possession of those weapons, especially firing cannon shells, hurting missiles, rockets or even bombs of any description. All these weapons are thrown at the enemies from a distance and these are the secrets of "power." If you refer to Ahadith (Traditions) you will discover an ocean of the Knowledge of

the Unseen spring up from its bottom. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64.

8. CONCLUSIVE FACTS CONCERNING I`LM-I-GHAYB From what has been discussed with apparent justification and presentable conviction, the following broad basic realities about the Knowledge of the Unseen must be borne in mind to avoid any pitfalls from any biased and intense quarters in this behalf. A. This first thing to be noted in this connection is that the "Unseen" is a reality, concrete and irrefutable. B. That the "I`lm-i-Ghayb" or the "Knowledge of the Unseen" belongs exclusively to Allah the Almighty as His Exclusive Divine Prerogative, none having any share in it, or any power to controvert and refute His Exclusive Domain. His knowledge is total. C. Allah the Almighty bestows this Knowledge of the Unseen (I`lm-i-Ghayb) to his chosen servants. D. Allah the Almighty has granted this Knowledge of the Unseen to the Apostles and Prophets. E. Allah the Almighty has granted this Knowledge of the Unseen to the Holy Prophet Sayyiduna Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). F. The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) bestowed this Knowledge of the Unseen (I`lm-i-Ghayb) to his companions who in turn passed this knowledge to the qualified persons who were entrusted with the mission to propagate the Religion of Allah to succeeding generations. No doubt, the great poet philosopher of Islam, Allama Iqbal, has aptly summed up the illustrious personality of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in one of his beautiful couplets: "Lauh bhi tu, Qalam bhi tu, tera wajud Al-Kitab Ghumbad-e-Abgina rang tere muheet mein habab" "You are O Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) the Scroll (of human destiny), you are the pen of Divine (with powers) to scribe and delineate the affairs of the universe, you are the personification of the Book of Allah. This vast glassy canopy (the sky) is not more than a bubble in the vast ocean of your August Knowledge." Last edited by Atoms2Adam; 03-09-07 at 01:34 PM. Reply With Quote

Sufism is not just an emphasis on the purification of the soul but a complete ideology in itself and it is marred by un-Islamic concepts and philosophies like:1. The belief of Wahdat al-Wajood, which implies that the Creator (Allah) and the creation are one, and the creation is just the manifestation of the Creator. 2. The belief that the Prophets and the Sufi saints are alive in their graves, just as they were alive in this world. They are fully aware of the outside world; they can communicate with the living and help those who call upon them. 3. The spirits (Ruh) of the righteous comes back from the Barzakh. 4. Gross exaggeration in praising the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) whilst neglecting his (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) teachings in understanding the religion.

5. Total and complete obedience to a Sufi Shaikh. 6. Penance and living the lives of hermits are ways to get closer to Allah. 7. Some Majzoobs, who have reached the goal of Sufism, run the affairs of the creation.[1] Extremist Sufis have even more deviated beliefs.
Footnote: [1] Moulana Zakariyah says: According to some Ulema, he (Shaikh Ibnul Hamaam Hanafee) was among the Abdal (the Deobandi translator says Abdaal are a class of Awliya whose identities remain concealed. They possess miraculous powers and execute a variety of tasks under Divine Command in various places of the world). [Ikhmaalush Shiyaam (Eng. Trans.) p.59.][/QUOTE]

them is not prohibited, then the graves of the righteous are like them. [1] To prove his point Moulana Zakariyah mentions a story of two brothers whose father died leaving an inheritance, which included three strands of hair of Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). The brothers divided the property in half, so that they had one strand of hair each. They, however, disputed about the third strand of hair. The elder brother agreed to give the younger brother all the three strands of hair, if the younger parted off with his share of the property, to which the younger brother happily agreed. When the younger brother died, ...many pious people dreamt of the Holy Prophet, who told them, If a person has any need he should ask it from Allah sitting at the side of his grave. [2] Moulana Zakariyah expresses his belief more openly in the book, Mashaikh-e-Chist. He says: Haji Imdadullah mentioned: The Fakir does not die. He is simply transformed from one abode to another. The same benefit which was received from the Fakirs physical life will be acquired from his grave. [3]

The Prohibition of Taking Graves as Places of Worship

Apart from invoking Allahs forgiveness for the engraved, all act of worship are prohibited at the graves like, formal prayers [1] , reciting the Quraan [2], sacrifice[3], etc. because this would contribute to making the graves as places of worship. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) has warned his nation from taking graves as places of worship: ...Beware that those before you took the graves of their Prophets as places of worship. Do not take graves as places of worship, for verily I forbid you to do so. [4] He (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) also said: The most evil of mankind are those who will be alive when the Last Day arrives and those who take graves as places of worship. [5] Duaa too is a form of worship. [6] Therefore, to visit graves to make Duaa for oneself believing that Duaa is more acceptable at the graves of the righteous is also taking graves as places of worship.

Shaikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah has explained the wisdom behind the prohibition of taking graves as places of worship. He said: The Companions of the Holy Prophet knew that Allah had exterminated the very root of polytheism by forbidding the graves to be taken as places of worship. Similarly, Allah has forbidden prayer at the time of sunrise, even though the observer of the prayer might be praying with sincerity, lest they should resemble the worshipers of the sun. The Companions never indulged in this sinful act (of taking graves as places of worship) [7] As Allahs Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) was about to breathe his last, he drew his sheet upon his face and when he felt uneasy, he uncovered his face and said in this very state: May Allahs curse be upon the Jews and Christians for taking the graves of their Prophets as places of worship. He in fact warned against what they (the Jews and Christians) did.[8] Aaishah reported: Had it not been so, his (i.e. the Prophets) grave would have been in an open place, but it could not be due to the fear that it could be taken as a mosque. [9]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------[1] The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: All the earth is a Masjid (place of worship) except graveyards and toilets. [Sunan Abu Dawood (Eng. Trans.) vol.1, p.125, no.492. Authenticated by Shaikh al-Albanee in Saheeh Sunan Abu Dawood vol.1, p.463] and: Pray in your houses, and do not make them graveyards. [Saheeh al-Bukharee (Eng. trans.) vol.2, p.156, no.280, Saheeh Muslim (Eng. trans.) vol.1, p.376, no.1704] [2] Allahs Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: Do not make your houses graveyards, for verily Shaytaan flees from the house, in which Soorah al-Baqarah is read. [Saheeh Muslim (Eng. Trans.) vol.1, p.377, no.1707] Thus implying that the Quraan is to be recited in homes, for not doing so would make them like gravesyards (i.e. places where the Quraan is not recited). [3] The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: There is no slaughtering (at the graves) in Islam [Sunan Abu Dawood (Eng. Trans.) Hadeeth no.3216.] [4] Saheeh Muslim (Eng. trans.) vol.1, p.269, no.1083 [5] Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hambal (al-Fitan wal-Ashrat as-Saaat the trials and signs of the Hour). See Ahkaamul-Janaaiz, p.278. [6] Allahs Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: Duaa (supplication) is worship. Then he recited: And your Rabb (Lord) says: Call on Me, I will answer your prayer. [Sunan Abu Dawood (Eng. Trans.) vol.1, p.387, no.1474., Imaam alBukhare in al-Adab al-Mufrad (714), at-Tirmidhi vol. 4, no.178 - 223), Ibn Majah vol. 2, no. 428-9), and Musnad Ahmad vol.4, no.267-271-276-277 and others. See Saheeh Sunan Abu Dawood vol. 1, no.1312.] [7] Shaikh ul-Islaam Ibn Taimeeyah in Kitaab al-Waseelah, p.239. [8] Saheeh al-Bukharee (Eng. Trans.) vol.1, p.255, no.427 Saheeh Muslim (Eng. Trans.) vol.1, p.269, no.1082, Sunan Abu Dawood (Eng. Trans.) vol.2, p.917, no.3221, Sunan an-Nassai vol.1, no.115 and others. [9] Saheeh al-Bukharee (Eng. Trans.) vol.2, p.232, no.414, Saheeh Muslim (Eng. Trans.) vol.1, p.268, no.1076 and Musnad Ahmad vol.6, no.156-198, vol.8, no.114.

See footnotes #1 to #3 in the first article and #1 to #9 in the second. They prove that the asllegations are based on authentic Ahadith which will naturally irritate the Shaitan and make him speak out through his desciples.

Re: Banned Deobandi/ Shia Books There are good fiqh books of deoband which are based on ahadith as they become mualif as a collector and answerer.But when they become musannif, they do alot of mistakes and i advice people to avoid reading such books by them similarly is the case with shia books but the difference is their collection of ahadith itself are totally out of the fold of islam.Some ahadith are good but many are wrong which is not good to follow. I don't understand why barelwi - deoband quarrel with each other.I would better stay with the haq rather than being from either of the two. Allah knows best. O Allah, let Your Blessings come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious.
