Miraculous Happenings Before The Birth Of Beloved Muhammad (Salla Allahu ta’ala’alayhi wa sallam)

Syedah Aamena stated that as soon as the labour pains of childbirth started, an angel came and ask her to drink from a cup in his hand. This drink was whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. As soon as she drank this heavenly drink her pain disappeared and all fear left her.

Syedah Aamena then saw the gates of Heaven open. The Angels came for the adoration of the new babe. Three Angels went towards

MIRACULOUS HAPPENINGS AFTER BIRTH

Immediately upon birth, the child Muhammad ( Sallalla hu alaihi wa Sallam ) miraculously did prostration to Allah and recited miraculously in a clear voice with his right hand index raised miraculously, as if in the act of giving evidence and said the following words:

“Ash-hadu an la ilaaha il lal lahu Anna Muhammad ur Rasulallah; Ya Rabbe habli Ummati”.

“I give evidence that none is worthy of divine worship except Allah. I am Muhammad ( Sallalla hu alaihi wa Sallam ) , the Messenger of Allah.” “O Sustainer (of the Universe) bless me (and) those who follow me.”

At once Allah spoke to His beloved as one who speaks face to face with his friend and replied: Translation from the Arabic:

“I have blessed you (O Muhammad ( Sallalla hu alaihi wa Sallam ) ) and those who follow you. O Angels, be ye witnesses of the fact that when he has not forgotten his followers upon his birth, then how can he forget them on the day of Ressurection .”

AT THE TIME OF THE BIRTH OF MUHAMMAD ( SALLALLA HU ALAIHI WA SALLAM )

Abdul Muttaleb radi allahu anhu, the grandfather of Muhammad ( Sallalla hu alaihi wa Sallam ) , and some other Meccans were at the Kaba at this early hour before dawn. All of a sudden they were surprised to see the walls of the Kaba bow miraculously before “Mukam-e-Ebrahim” or the “Station of Abraham,” a construction near the Kaba, where Abraham had stood and prayed during the building of the Kaba.

Then miraculously the Kaba spoke as follows: (Translation from the Arabic)

Quranic / Hadith Sayings on Eid-E-Milad, Eid Milad un Nabi,Rabbi Al Awwal

This Qur’anic verse reveals that the wisdom of mentioning the stories and events of prophet Hazrat Mohammed (Salla Allahu ta’ala’alayhi wa sallam) was to stand fast the heart of the last prophet Hazrat Mohammed (Salla Allahu ta’ala’alayhi wa sallam). And it is obvious that we are, also today, in need of being stand fast. We must know that how; the prophet of Allah (Allah’s Grace and Peace be upon him) faced the problems of his time so that we may face the problems of our times according to the Sunnah. Therefore Milad un Nabi (Salla Allahu ta’ala’alayhi wa sallam) provides us an opportunity to know about the affair of the prophet Hazrat Mohammed (Salla Allahu ta’ala’alayhi wa sallam) In the holy quran in many places Allah (Azzawajal) has made reference:

“Wa rafana laka zikrak”

(And raised high the esteem you are held)
(Chapter 30 Surah Nashrak)

“la khad ja kum rasoolim min un fusikum”
(O believers you have amongst your ummant)

“la khad minulaalah ho allul mumineena uz lay faheem e rassola”

(I have done a favour on all believers that I gave you the holy prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala’alayhi wa sallam))

“Waz kuru niyamat illahi alaykum”
(Remember Allah (Azzawajal) favours)

“Wama arsalnaka illah rehmatullil alameen”
(I have sent as blessing for whole mankind)

“By all means The Prophet Mohammed (Salla Allahu ta’ala’alayhi wa sallam) is the uzma of Allah (Azzawajal)”

“Allah (Azzawajal) in the holy quran has said in Surah duha chapter 30 (para)”

“Remember Allah (Azzawajal) blessing which is upon you Surah Al-Imran chapter 4 (para)”

By doing milaad sharif you are performing prophet Mohammed (Salla Allahu ta’ala’alayhi wa sallam) zikr, in the above aayats Allah (Azzawajal) has ordered to do zikr of prophet Mohammed (Salla Allahu ta’ala’alayhi wa sallam).

1. Khulfa-e-Rasheedeen Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddique (radi allahu anhu) has said “who so ever spend even as little as 1 dhiram(pence) in milaad sharif will be with me in paradise”

2. Hazrat Umar Farooque kayde azam (radi allahu anhu) has said “who ever repects the milaad sharif has given life to islam”

3. Hazrat Usman Ghani (radi allahu anhu) has said “who ever spend as little as 1 dhiram (pence) is like that person was amongst those who fought in the battle of badar and hunnaiyn”

4. Hazrat Ali Karimullah wajhul kareem (radi allahu anhu) has said “who so ever respect the milaad sharif and trys to preach wil leave the world with faith and will enter paradise without questions”

5. Hazrat Khwaja Hasan Basri (radi allahu anhu) has said “If I had gold as much as the mountain of uhad I would spend it on milaad-un-nabi”

6. Hazrat Imam Jallaludin sayuti (radi allahu anhu) has said “whose house,mosque and area hold the milaad ceremony of the beloved prophet Mohammed (Salla Allahu ta’ala’alayhi wa sallam) then on this Allah (Azzawajal) blessed angels would surround these homes,mosques and areasand read Darood upon them”

7. Hazrat Imam Shafi (radi allahu anhu) has said “those who gather people for milaad, cook for them, make arrangements in their home for them and give reason for people to attend then for him on the day of judgment Allah (Azzawajal) will raise him amongst the Siddiquin, Showdaye and Saleheen and his place will be in jannat-e-naeem”

8. Hazrat Maroof Kharkhi (radi allahu anhu) has said “those who gather people for milaad-un-nabi he will be protected by all Ambiya’s and Allah(Azzawajal) will protect his household from theft, misfortune and any evil eyes”

We pray to Allah (Azzawajal) to give us the strength and love to celebrate the glorious milaad-un-nabi, follow the path of the prophet Mohammed (Salla Allahu ta’ala’alayhi wa sallam) and give us the courage to follow all of the prophet Mohammed (Salla Allahu ta’ala’alayhi wa sallam) Sunnah. Ameen.

QIBLAH FOLLOWER CONCEPT INVALID

Thirdly, the fact of the matter is that the term “facing the Oiblah” in the opinion of the Imams stands for a person who believes in all the essentials of the Islamic faith. If that person denies even a single essential, he certainly becomes a disbeliever, in the light of the unanimous verdict of the Islamic scholars. Anybody who does not call such a person a disbeliever is himself a disbeliever.

Shifa Sharif, Bazaziah, Dar Radd- e-Gharoor, and Fataawa-e-Khairiah and many other books state:

“All the Muslims are unanimously of the view that any person, who shows disrespect to Prophet Muhammad صلى اله عليه وسلم , is a disbeliever. Anybody, who doubts it, is himself a disbeliever”

Majma-ul-Anhar and Durr-e-Mukhtar show as under:

“Any person, who becomes a disbeliever on account of showing disrespect to a Prophet, will not be forgiven; and anybody who doubts his punishment or disbelief is himself a disbeliever”

Allah be praised! This is an important aspect of this topic and the entire Muslim community is unanimous that these insolent people are disbelievers; he, who does not consider them as disbelievers, is himself a disbeliever. It is mentioned in the commentary on Fiqah Akbar:- “The correct approaches include this that the followers of Qiblah will not be called disbelievers, unless they refuse to accept the essential requirements of faith; for instance treating forbidden (Haraam) as allowed (Halaal). It is no secret that our scholars, when they say that the followers of Qiblah should not be classified as disbelievers, do not mean just turn- ing one’s face towards the Qiblah. The Aafizi people falsely say that Gabriel made a mistake in conveying the revelations; Allah had sent him towards Hazrat Ali and not Prophet Muhammad صلى اله عليه وسلم  . Some of them treat Hazrat Ali radi allahu anhu as Allah. These people, though they pray with their faces towards the Qiblah, are not Muslims. This Hadith also has a similar meaning, which says that he, who prays like us, turns his face towards our Qiblah, and eats the animals slaughtered by us, is a Muslim”.

(Tamheed Ul Iman by Ala Hazrat radi allahu anhu)

ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS NECESSARY

It means that such a person must believe in the essential requirements of the Islamic faith, and he should not do anything against the spirit of the faith. In the same book we come across this statement:

“That is to say, it is an agreed view of the Islamic scholars that a person who violates the essential requirements of Islam is a disbeliever, though he may be a follower of the Qiblah and he may spend his entire life in performing the acts of obedience, as has been stated in Sharah-E- Tahreer by Imam Ibnul Hammam.”

The books of Islamic belief, law and principles are full of clear directives and details on this point.

(Tamheed Ul Iman by Ala Hazrat radi allahu anhu)

DISRESPECT TO ALLAH AND HIS PROPHET صلى اله عليه وسلم IS WORSE THAN IDOL WORSHIP

Fourthly, this subject has its own plain logic. Can a person, who offers prayers five times a day with his face towards the Qiblah and worships Maha Dev once a day, be regarded by any sensible person to be a Muslim? The action of worshipday Maha Dev and the action of calling Allah a liar or insulting the Prophet are equally the acts of disbelief but the acts of disrespecting Allah and His Prophet are definitely more serious than worshipping Maha Dev. ‘Some acts of disbelief are worse than others’. The reason is that worshipping an idol is a symbolic denial of Allah, but this symbolic denial, is not equal to the actual denial. Moreover, prostration (sadja) before an idol can be possibly given a rational explanation that it may have been just an act of respect and not an act of worship. Any act of respect done in the form of prostration (sadja), is not an act of disbelief in itself. For example, if a person comes before a scholar or a spiritual leader and prostrates before him as a mark of respect, he win be judged as a sinner but not a disbeliever. The Islamic law has condemned idoIatory by the non-Muslims as disbelief because it falls into a pattern of disbelief in their life-style. On the contrary, talking ill of Prophet Muhammad صلى اله عليه وسلم is in itself a disbelief, which leaves no chance of Islamic belief left in this case. I am not relying here basically on the difference that the Islamic community can by its unanimous decision forgive a worshipper of an idol but even one thousand Imams cannot and would not forgive a person, who talks ill of the Prophet of  Islam صلى اله عليه وسلم .

Our Hanafi scholars of distinction like Imam Bazazi, Imam Ibnul Hammam, Allama Maula Khasrau author of Dar Radd-E-Gharoor, Allama Zain bin Najeem auttKJr of Bahrar Raaiq and Ishbah Wan-N-Nazaair, Allama Umar bin Najeem auttKJr of Naharul Faaiq, Allama Abu, Abdullah Muhammad bin Abdullah Ghazi author of Tanveer-ul-Absaar, Allama Khairuddin Ramli author of Fataawa Khairiyya, Allama Shaikh-Zada author of Majma-ul-Anher, Allama Mudaqaq Muhammad Ali Haskafi author of Durr-E- Mukhtar and many other prominent scholars have held this view. (For further details and discussion on this point see my book “Fataawa-E-Rizwiyah”).
It should be understood that the inability to forgive is limited to the court of an Islamic ruler, because he has to pronounce death sentence even after hearing the plea of forgiveness. On the other hand, if somebody seeks forgiveness sincerely and heartily it is acceptable in the court of Allah. There is a danger that these insolent people may put up an excuse that there is no point is seeking forgiveness because it cannot be granted. The correct positon is that the disbelief will be obliterated; you will become a Muslim and get rid of the eternal confinement to Hell. To this extent there is unanimity amongst the Islamic scholars (see Rudd-ul Mukhtar and other books).

(Tamheed Ul Iman by Ala Hazrat radi allahu anhu)

AN ILLOGICAL ARGUMENT

The third fraudulent argument of this disbelieving group is that the Islamic law states that a person, who has 99 things of disbelief and one thing of Islam in his personality, should not be labelled as a disbeliever. Firstly, this flimsy argument is the worst and the weakest of all. If a person gives a call to prayer or performs a prayer of two-Rakah once in the day and worships the idols, blows the clarions or rings the bells in the remaining part of the day for 99 times, he is by this definition a Muslim. Such a person is not a man of faith. Let alone faith, such a person cannot be described as a Muslim by a sensible man.

Secondly, in the light of this definition except the atheists, who deny the very existence of Allah, all other disbelievers, like Hindus, Christians, Jews etc, will have to be described as Muslims. They have one thing in common; they all believe in the existence of Allah. This one thing is one of the most important principles in Islam. The philosophically-inlined disbelievers, or Aryans or similar other people have their own concepts of the unity of, Allah. The Jews and Christians will have to be regarded as very distinguished Muslims because in addition to the unity of Allah they also believe in many of His Scriptures, thousands of His Prophets, the Dooms-day, accountability on the final Day of Judgement, reward, and punishment, Heaven and Hell etc, most of these doctrines being in conformity with Islam.

(Tamheed Ul Iman by Ala Hazrat radi allahu anhu)

NADWA REFORMER

Thirdly, the verses of the Holy Quran which have been quoted above, are enough to refute this argument. It has been proved by these verses that despite reading the Kalima or offering prayers these insolent people are disbelievers. At one place Allah said “They have become disbelievers after embracing Islam, because they have made a particular statement.” At another place Allah has said: “Make no excuses; you have become disbelievers after embracing Islam”. According to this flimsy argument there should be more than 99 words of disbelief but Allah has declared them as disbelievers for only one word of disbelief. Perhaps the insolent people will answer that this is a mistake of Allah or He has been too hasty in restricting the sphere of Islam. They would blame that the followers of Qiblah and the readers of Kalima are being pushed out of Islam just for saying one word, and that they have not been given even the chance of making an excuse. Also Allah did not consult some worshipper of nature or a lecturer from Nadwa or some other liberal Islamic reformer of their persuasion. “May the curse of Allah fall on the wrongdoers.” Fourthly, the answer to this argument is:
YOUR ALLAH ALMIGHTY SAYS
