In part 1 the Quraanic
Guidance on
Hajj, Hajj Badal, Hajj Qurbani and Eid Ul Adha Qurbani were highlighted
for the information of our Muslim brethren and sisters to avoid all
misguidance, exploitation, excesses, extremism, and deviations from the
Right Path of Allah as the Message of Allah is unchangeable, (Ref:
Al_Quraan:010:015,24 / 018:027 / 033:062). Now in Part 2, some specific
Mohikhmath / Guidance of Allah are presented.
… Islaam gives priority to
academic
education/Iqra, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 096:001-005) so that the
Muslims become well
educated to read the Holy the Quraan to understand its
Guidance/Mohikhmath for practicing them rightly in letter and spirit to
earn the Blessings of Allah and to avoid all sins and evils,
misguidance, exploitation, deviation, excesses, extremism, Shirk, Bidah
etc. Tilawath in Arabic means to follow and practice the
Guidance
of Allah after reading and understanding the Holy the Quraan and not
simply reading, reciting the Holy the Quraan without
understanding. Islaam is totally against illiteracy.
… Allah asks us to follow all the
Mohikhmath (precise/specific Guidance/Directives) on all matters of
life, problems and solutions mentioned in the Quraan which are the
foundation of the Book and to avoid Mushatabihath
(unspecific/allegorical) as their real interpretation is known only to
Allah but are exploited to create deviations and discord among the
Muslims by vested interests, (Ref: Al_Quraan:
003:007). As such
Islaam cannot be cornered to so called Five Pillars not at all
supported as such in Holy the Quraan or authentic Hadiths.
… The whole the Quraan is the
Pillar of Islaam and it is a complete Deen (including Mazhab/theology),
(Ref: Al_Quraan: 005:003).
… Allah says that those who
disbelieve and deny Allah’s Book will go to Hell, (Ref:
Al_Quraan:
002:039). This clearly means that prime importance should be given to
follow Holy the Quraan’s Guidance on all matters of life and avoid
projection and following all such Hadiths, tales, stories, sayings and
traditions contrary to the Quraan.
…Islaam is a clear and easy Deen
to
understand and follow, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 002:038 / 024:018
/ 006:105 /
027:1-2, 77). Hence reading and understanding of Holy the Quraan to
follow its Guidance is of utmost and prime importance to achieve
Allah’s Blessings which is actually Tilawath. Hence those who don’t
know Arabic, they must read the translation of the Quraan in their own
language to understand and practice the entire Mohikhmath/Directives of
Allah instead of reading, reciting, the Quraan Khawani and making Hifz
of the Quraan without understanding.
… Allah says none and not even
our
Prophet can change/amend or deviate from the Holy the Quraan and its
Directives / Mohikhmath except preaching, projecting and following
Islaam, a complete Deen, and guiding the erring and deviated humanity
and warning the nonbelievers to come to the Right Path Of Allah,
(Ref:
Al_Quraan: 010:015,064,094-095,109/ 016:064 / 018:027 /
024:054
/025:001,056 / 033:002 / 046:009).
… Allah further say that HIS
Guidance
has been fulfilled in truth and in justice and none can change/alter
HIS words, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 006:115). Please avoid
misguidance and
deviation by vested professionals to deviate you from the Words of
Allah.
NOTE: Hence all
Hadiths, sayings,
tales, stories, references and traditions, so commonly projected to the
ignorant Muslims and exploited to promote deviation, extremism, cults,
Shirk, Bidah, un Islaamic customs and practices should only be accepted
if they are in accordance with the Holy the Quraan. Please reject those
which are not in conformity with the Holy the Quraan as the Hadiths
were written after more than hundred years after the demise of our
Prophet and were subject to changes and manipulations with the passage
of time. That is why we search for Sahih Hadiths which means there were
wrong Hadiths also. ‘The Imam’ written Hadiths cannot override the Holy
the Quraan.
… Call, follow and make Dua /
Ilteja
directly to Allah alone who has no associate/Shareek/ Wasila /
intercessor / recommender etc., (Ref:
Al_Quraan:007:003,194 / 013: 014
/ 017:022 / 039: 014). This means we should all follow, bow, prostrate,
pray, request and make Dua directly to Allah alone who has no
associate/Shareek / Wasila / Pir / Baba/
Alim/Imam/recommender/intercessor etc. Avoid being exploited and
misguided and bowing before exploiting Pirs, Faqirs, Babas and kissing
their hands/feet etc. as our Demi Gods as all are humans like us and
are equal before Allah. Also avoid making Dua behind the Imam after
Namaz as the duty of Imam is to conduct and lead prayers only and not
to make Dua for us as he himself needs Allah’s Blessings like us. Make
DUA directly to Allah after Namaz.
… Allah debars
monasticism/priesthood, (Ref: Al_Quraan:005:057) as it
results in
exploitation of our noble Deen by our Mullas for personal interests to
create cults, deviation, division, groups, parties, and promote
extremism, excesses in religious matters and rituals, Shirk, Bidah,
etc. which we see in our society today so much so our Masajid are also
divided.
… Allah says that HE bestowed the
Holy the Quraan in Arabic on our Prophet in his mother tongue to
understand and preach it with good tidings to the righteous people to
follow it and warn the hostile and infidel people in Makkah and around
of their accountability on Judgment Day that only the followers of
Islaam will only go to Jannah and others to Hell, (Ref:
Al_Quraan:019:097 / 042:007 / 044:048). This indicates that the Arabic
the Quraan was basically meant for the Arabic knowing people so that
they may read and understand the specific Guidance of Allah in their
own language and follow it.
… Allah further says HE bestowed
the
Arabic the Quraan for those who may read and understand it,
(Ref:
Al_Quraan: 012:002 / 041:002 / 043:003 / 044:048). Hence this makes it
clear that those who don’t know Arabic, they should read its
translation to understand Islaam as it is a Universal Religion.
… To Allah, the more important
thing
is the understanding, following and practicing of all the
Mohikhmath/Guidance, (Al_Quraan: 003:007) fully in the
right way to
achieve HIS Blessings and not simply reading, reciting with Tajweed,
the Quraan Khawani and Hifz of the Quraan which is of secondary
importance. Tilawath means to follow the Mohikhmath of Allah after
reading and understanding it and not simply reading or reciting it as
wrongly being projected to keep us religiously backward and dependent
on the professional Ulemas for guidance instead of Allah.
… Allah further says that the
Holy
the Quraan was bestowed in Arabic because the people of Arabia were
Arabic knowing and had HE sent the Holy the Quraan in any other
language, the Arabs would have remarked how can we read and understand
the Holy the Quraan not in our language when the Prophet is also an
Arab and Arabic knowing, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 041:044). This
clears the
wrong misconception that the language of Allah is only Arabic and hence
every one of us MUST learn Arabic being a holy language and read,
recite and make Hifz of the Quraan whether we understand it or
not. Thus we remain mute and non-knowledgeable about the
Quraanic
Guidance/Mohikhmath and to get easily exploited and deviated at the
hands of vested interests and exploiters.
NOTE:
Actually Arabic is the common language of all Arabic people, Muslims,
non-Muslims, Christians, Jews etc. and contains good and bad words as
in any other language. Hence we should all read the translation of the
Quraan in our own language to understand Allah’s Guidance to humanity
as the Quraan was bestowed for the entire humanity. Allah
knows
and understand all languages, dialects, calls, actions, requests, Duas
etc. of all humans, sane and insane, deaf and dumb, sick and disabled
and also non humans, Angels, Satan, animals, insects, etc. as HE is the
CREATOR. Therefore there is no bar from Allah that the Holy the Quraan
should be read in Arabic only whether we, non-Arab Ajmis, understand it
or not. Tilawaath in Arabic has a wider meaning to follow/practice
after reading and understanding the Holy the Quraan which our Ulema
don’t explain. The basic aim of Allah is to guide the entire
erring and deviated humanity, not the Arabs alone to HIS Right Path.
Hence those who don't know Arabic they should read the easy translation
of Holy the Quraan in their own language again and again to understand
and follow Allah's Guidance/Mohikhmath in the right spirit and
direction to avoid all exploitation, deviations, misguidance,
extremism, excesses and over-acting in religious matters and rituals,
Shirk, Bidah, un Islaamic customs and practices, sectarianism, Maslak
and Fiqah differences, Pir, Baba and Taghoot’s influences and
misguidance. Avoid misleading propaganda against reading of its
translation to keep you ignorant, backward, deviated and exploited and
under the control of professionals to divide and rule you. When our
Ulemas while quoting the Quraanic verses, explain the same in Urdu to
us mixed with their own interpretation, then why we non Arabic Muslims
should not read the translation of the Quraan ourselves to
better
understand the Quraan, Islaam and its Guidance to entire humanity.
… Allah sent down the Quraan in truth
and those who create differences will go to HELL, (Ref:
Al_Quraan:
002:176). Allah's Message is unchangeable, (Ref: Al_Quraan_033:062).
This is a clear warning to all exploiters and deviators of Islaam.
Please read the Quraan or its translation to understand Islaam first
and then Hadiths which should be authentic and in conformity with the
Quraan as Allah's Message is unchangeable. Avoid all misguidance and
exploitation and creating differences. Please reject such Hadiths,
tales, stories, sayings and traditions, which are commonly narrated and
exploited, if they are not in conformity with the Quraan and its
Guidance. Be bold as none can change Allah’s Guidance.
… Those who disbelieve and don't
follow the Quraan will go to Hell, (Ref: Al_Quraan:
002:039). Please
avoid all disbelief, deviations, exploitation, Shirk, Bidah, sins and
evils, un Islaamic customs and practices and weak and unauthentic
Hadiths etc. contrary to the Quraan and adopt piety (Taqwa),
righteousness and perform good deeds to earn the Blessings of Allah.
Please read the Quraan or its translation and follow all its
Mohikhmath, (Al_Quraan:003:007) and not just five pillars only not at
all supported as such in the Holy the Quraan. The whole Holy the Quraan
is the Pillar of Islaam.
… Allah strictly directs the
Muslims
to hold fast to HIS rope, follow Islaam as one complete Deen , worship
HIM alone and avoid being divided into sects, groups, parties, factions
etc. as it is against the One Ummah concept of Islaam,
(Ref: Al_Quraan:
003:103,105 / 021: 092-093 / 023: 052 / 030:032 / 049:010). Please
follow the Quraan and such Hadiths which are in conformity with the
Quraan and avoid all divisions, deviations, factions, sectarianism,
Maslak and Fiqah differences, cults of Pirs, Faqirs, Taghoots,
religious groupings and parties to divide the Muslims which are all
actually an after-creations after the demise of our Prophet and against
the one Ummah concept. Our Prophet was a true Muslim without any sect,
Maslak, faction, group or party and other differences as he was truly a
ROLE MODEL for the entire humanity. We should strictly follow him.
… Islaam promotes one Ummah
concept
as Muslimeen without any sect etc. and all Muslim believers are
brothers and as such any differences should be settled amicably to
maintain unity, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 022:078 / 049:010). This
means unity
without man-created differences is of prime importance and our Prophet
was a true Muslim and a role model for all the followers of Islaam. We
should follow him.
… Allah directs us to become
Ummath
Wasth (moderate society) in all matters of life, (Ref:
Al_Quraan:002:143). Hence we should avoid all sorts of extremism,
excesses and over acting in religious matters and rituals, behavior,
dealings, groups and parties to divide the Muslims etc.
… Those who disbelieve and deny
the
Quraan and its Guidance will go to Hell, (Ref:
Al_Quraan:005:010). This
is a clear warning to all infidels and exploiters and deviators not to
ignore the Quraan and its eternal Guidance to humanity but to follow it
completely in a moderate manner. No man-written Hadiths can override
the Holy the Quraan and its directives/Mohikhmaths.
… Men are protectors of women,
(Ref:
Al_Quraan: 004:034). As such women should be respected and well
protected from all excesses etc. The wrong western concept of man and
woman being equal should be removed taking into consideration that
Allah has made man stronger in physique than woman who is weak and
modest. A man is allowed to marry up to four women and a woman’s share
of inheritance is half as compared to a man. Woman has been allowed a
respectable status.
… Those who kill a believer
intentionally without any just cause will go to Hell,
(Ref: Al_Quraan:
004:093). The Taliban extremists indulge in needless killings and
suicide bombings without any just cause which should be condemned as
they will go to Hell. The Talibans are illiterate people under the
guidance of extremist Mullas to kill and get killed. They will go to
Hell.
… Saving a life is like saving
humanity, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 005:032). Life is very precious
thing. Hence
we should save and protect life as Allah alone is responsible for its
creation and death. Sick, disabled, poor and needy persons should be
well taken care of. We should promote social and community service.
… Those who consume interest will
go
to Hell. Avoid interest on loans and if the debtor is in difficulty,
give him time to repay the loans. Fear Allah. Please read details,
(Ref: Al_Quraan: 002:275-280, 3:130, 4:161, 30:39). This actually
applies to money lenders’ business (Sood Khore) common in those days
who use to charge heavy and prior interest from poor borrowers needing
money for house-hold expenses but banks are commercial institutions
managed by shareholders and do business of export and import trade,
remittances, foreign exchange dealings, maintaining various types of
personal and commercial accounts, accepting deposits and advancing
loans for commercial purpose (not for household or consumption
purpose), managing safe deposit lockers, worldwide
transactions
and dealings etc.and the economy of the country depends on the banks.
The Arabs have
regularized it but we indulge in over-acting in all
religious matters and rituals with over-research on a complete Deen,
(Al_Quraan:005:003- sub verse:3). Many so called Sharia Compliant Banks
/ companies / Modarbas failed or wound up or went into liquidation.
Some indulged in fraud also. Be sensible and moderate.
… The Holy the Quraan is LIGHT
for
entire mankind, (Ref: Al_Quraan:005:015). The Holy the Quraan is no
doubt a Guidance from Allah for those who believe, (Ref:
Al_Quraan:
002:002). Explanation of
Holy the Quraan is Allah’s responsibility,
(Ref: Al_Quraan: 075:019 / 016:089). Holy the Quraan is not
complicated
for understanding, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 018:001). Holy the Quraan is
crystal clear, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 006:105). Allah’s Guidance is 100%
complete, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 006:115). Holy the Quraan is NOOR for
mankind, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 005:015). Holy the Quraan is a noble Book
and
revelation from Allah, (Ref: Al_Quraan:056:077, 080). Holy the Quraan
is the best Message and Guidance for the entire mankind,
(Ref:
Al_Quraan: 039:023). Holy
the Quraan is indeed a Guidance and Mercy for
the believers, (Ref: Al_Quraan:027:077).
NOTE: Please note
that all these
verses are self-explanatory to understand the Holy the Quraan and to
follow it to avoid all exploitations, misguidance, deviation, cults,
extremism, Shirk, Bidah, sectarianism etc.
… The person touching and reading
the
Holy the Quraan should be clean, (Ref: Al_Quraan:
056:079). This means
that Wudu is not needed to touch and read it as generally misguided in
order to keep it away from the common man. Any clean person can touch
it as the purpose of the Holy the Quraan is to read, understand and
follow the Guidelines/Directives/Mohikhmaths of Allah on all matters of
life with solutions to problems etc. and not to kiss, adore, revere and
keep it on high altars and simply read, recite, do the Quraan Khawani
and make Hifz of the Quraan without understanding.
… Allah strictly prohibits the
Muslim
men and women from ridiculing, laughing, defaming, insulting, passing
sarcastic remarks and calling each other with offensive nicknames as
they may be better than the callers. They should make Tauba / repent
immediately, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 049: 011). Thus Islaam gives
primary
importance to good character and good behavior.
… Allah further strictly directs
the
Muslims to avoid negative assumptions or suspicions (negative attitude)
as much as possible as it is sin. Also avoid spying or backbiting
behind each other’s backs as it amounts to eating of flesh of dead
brother. Fear Allah and Make Tauba / repentance immediately,
(Ref:
Al_Quraan:049: 012).
… Allah asks us to help the poor
and
the needy, (Al_Quraan:009:060). In Islaam priority is to
uplift of the
humanity-poor and the needy which is a good deed. As such community
service is of vital interest.
… Those who perform good deeds in
the
cause of humanity will be rewarded ten times by Allah on the Judgment
Day, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 006:160). Hence more importance
should be given
to social welfare and community service to help the poor and the needy
instead of building costly show piece Masajid to make a living and
promoting a wrong concept that those who build Allah’s House, Allah
will build a House in Jannah for him.
… Allah says that Masajid should
be
TAQWA/piety based and not denomination based and managed by righteous
persons who fear Allah only and believe in Day of Judgment and
establish prayers and give Zakat to needy persons, (Ref:
Al_Quraan:
009: 17-18,107-108 / 008:034 / 009:017-018). This means that the
Masajid should be free from all irregularities, exploitation,
deviations, divisions, sectarianism, cults, group interests, Shirk,
Bidah, un Islaamic customs and practices, etc. and managed by
righteous Guardians only. Be careful in giving donations.
… Allah’s House is only Masjid ul
Haram in Makkah, (Ref: Al_Quraan:003:096-97) as it is
based on
piety/Taqwa and where Kaaba, Aab Zam Zam, Hatim, Hujr Aswad are located
and to which are attached Safwa and Marwa hillocks. And where no
sectarian and Maslak issues etc. are involved and neither donations are
collected nor any irregularity or committee disputes take place. As
such the rest of the Masajid which are sectarian/Maslak based and are
party or group controlled and indulge in money collection and committee
disputes etc. are simply prayer houses/Masajid only. Avoid
calling them Allah’s Houses. Please avoid such misguidance.
… Every human is solely
responsible
for all his deeds and misdeeds, sins and evils to Allah alone,
(Ref:
Al_Quraan: 041:046 / 045: 15). Allah alone can excuse anybody’s sins
(Al_Quraan:003:135). Hence none can get anybody’s
sins
excused or washed off through DUA, recommendation etc. from any Pir,
Faqir, Baba, Imam, Demi God, Taghoot, Aamil etc. Make Tauba sincerely
and Dua directly to Allah. Avoid making Dua behind any Imam or Alim as
it is Shirk as no middle man is allowed by Allah.
… Allah directs every Muslim to
enter
into Islaam completely, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 002:208). This mean you have
to follow each and every Directive of Allah on all matters of life
called Mohikhmath, (Ref: Al_Quraan_003:007) not just so
called Five
Pillars only as wrongly being projected to build Masajid and Madressahs
to make a living by the commercial Mullas. Avoid misguidance. The whole
the Quraan is the Pillar of Islaam.
… The Prophet’s
companions
(Kahalifas/ Imams) never deviated from Allah’s Guidance and followed
Islaam completely. They never practiced any Sect/Maslak/Group or Party
Interest and never adopted Islaam as a money earning profession. All
these are an after-creations and not according to Islaam. Be a true
Muslim only. Any Muslim can lead prayers/Namaz and it is not necessary
that only professional Imam can do it.
… Our Prophet is closer to all
the
Muslim believers and his wives are our mothers. And the blood relatives
are more closer to each other than other nonrelatives and require good
and just treatment, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 033:006 / 008:075).
We should love
and help our relatives and desist from grudge and hatred.
… For performance of Wudu, one
time
use of water is enough, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 005:006). The
Quraan ask us to
wash the face and hands up to the elbows and thereafter wipe your head
and ankle. There is no such directive that you should indulge in three
time wastage of water and make lot of noise of mouth gargling and
louder nostril washing to disturb or impress others and do Khilal
particularly of fingers / leg fingers etc. and thus waste water and
time instead of joining the Namaz Jamaat quickly. In certain parts of
Africa, where there is shortage of water, Muslims perform Wudu with a
glass of water only. Islaam is not a hard Deen. Please avoid
over-acting in this regard.
… Allah accepts only sincere
repentance / TAUBA of those wrong doers / sinners who practice
righteousness/piety thereafter, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_025:070-071 / 039:053).
But those who continue to
commit repeated sins and make Tauba
thereafter until death, their repentance are not accepted and they will
go to Hell, (Ref: Al_Quraan_004:018). This clears the
wrong notion that
after every Hajj, the sins are washed off automatically. Sins
and
repentance/Tauba cannot go together. Please avoid misguidance.
… Allah debars
priesthood/monasticism, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 057:027) as in
other religions
like Pope, Cardinals and Bishops in Christianity; Gurus, Pujaris and
Pundits in Hinduism; Monks in Budhism because the priests exploit the
religion to dominate the followers and earn money and divide and
deviate the followers for personal interests. They project as if they
are a Wasila/Pir/middle man to Allah for Dua recommendation etc. In
Islaam every human is directly accountable to Allah alone for his deeds
and misdeeds without any involvement of Mulla/priest/middle man/Pir/
Faqir /Imam etc.to make DUA or recommend our case to Allah as wrongly
being preached by vested interests. Avoid misguidance and read the
Quraan or its translation.
… Allah says that the worst
people
are those who do not use their brain to understand Islaam but remain
deaf and dumb, (Ref: Al_Quraan:008:022). Hence we should
use our brain
to understand the Holy the Quraan and practice all the Mohikhmath to
solve all problems of life and to avoid all deviations and misguidance
by Taghoot and exploiters. Those who don’t know Arabic they MUST read
the easy translation of Holy the Quraan to understand it and follow it
correctly. Don’t depend on any exploiting and deviated Mulla in your
own interest.
… Allah asks us to uphold TRUTH
and
not to go beyond it and follow the Book and avoid committing excesses
and over-acting in religious matters and rituals/Faraiz and not to
follow the misguidance of such people ( vested Alims, Imams, Taghoots,
Pirs, Faqirs etc.) who have gone astray from His right path,
(Ref:
Al_Quraan: 002:042 / 004:171 / 005:077 / 007:003 / 039:023 ). Therefore
please avoid all kind of falsehood and deviation and give priority to
reading and understanding of the Quraan to avoid all excesses in
rituals and religious matters, extremism, misguidance, cults,
misunderstandings and exploitation with various weak and unauthentic
Hadiths, tales and stories, traditions and sayings and other
differences so commonly narrated to confuse and deviate the Muslims
from Allah's Right Path. Only Hadiths etc.which are in
conformity
with the Quraan should be accepted. Follow Allah not any exploiting
Mulla. Today the Muslims are divided so much so our Masajid are also
divided due to exploitation of Islaam against the one Ummah concept.
… Allah says that there are many
exploiting Aalims/scholars who misguide the people from the right path
of Allah and unjustly earn money, (Ref: Al_Quraan:
009:034). We should
avoid such commercial Alims/Imams who give more importance to weak and
unauthentic Hadiths, sayings, stories, traditions etc. rather than the
Quraanic Guidance to misguide us and also adopt Islaam as a profession
to earn money and promote their cults and priesthood as Tabligh and
preaching of Islaam is a Fi Sabil Illah voluntary work to earn the
Blessings of Allah. Our Prophet is a fine example and he never ever
earned money to preach and project Islaam and lead the prayers as Imam
and never took Chanda/donation for his self. Follow him.
… Allah says those (Alims, Imams,
Scholars, Moulvis, Mullahs, Muftis, religious speakers) who hide or
conceal the truth of Quraanic Guidance from being projected to humanity
(like vague speeches without giving utmost importance to the Quraanic
Mohikhmath as required), (Ref: Al_Quraan: 002:
041-042,159, 174-175 /
06:90 / 016:95).
… and mix truth with falsehood
(like
giving more importance to weak and unauthentic Hadiths, tales, stories,
sayings, traditions, Arab history etc. not in conformity with the
Quraan to confuse and deviate the Muslims), (Ref:
Al_Quraan: 002:
041-042,159, 174-175 / 06:90 / 016:95).
… and make a livelihood by
adopting
Islaam as a profession, will go to HELL, (Ref: Al_Quraan:
002:
041-042,159, 174-175 / 06:90 / 016:95).
NOTE: Therefore all
our
Alims/scholars/Imams/Moulvis/Mullas MUST give preference to projecting
and explaining the Quraanic guidance/directives on all walk of life
along with authentic Hadiths etc. in their speeches / Khitabs so that
we follow the Right Path of Allah and are not deviated, misguided or
misled. They should also stop earning a livelihood on Islaam. They
along with Mauzins, the Quraanic teachers should adopt other means of
livelihood as done by our Prophet. The preaching and projection of
Islaam with Imamath is purely a FI SABIL ILLAH voluntary work to earn
the Blessings Of Allah. We should strictly follow Allah’s Guidance and
avoid following commercial Mullas. However in order to make their
earnings Halal, the Imams and Mauzins should do Masjid maintenance work
along with the Khadims or adopt some other job as Imamath and Azan
giving are not full time jobs. The Quraanic teachers should also teach
other academic subjects to make their income Halal as Islaam promotes
academic education, (Ref: Al_Quraan_096:001-005) as it is not a
Mazhab/theology only but a complete Deen/religion, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_005:003).
… Allah specifically directed our
Prophet not to adopt Islaam as a means of livelihood,
(Ref:
Al_Quraan:012:104 / 025:057) as it is a Fi Sabil Illah voluntary work
in the service of Allah. Accordingly our Prophet worked hard to make a
livelihood. Our Ulemas / Imams/ Mauzins / scholars/ Mullas / Moulvis /
Muftis and the Quraanic teachers who have adopted Islaam as a money
earning profession should follow Allah’s Directive and our
Prophet’s example in this regard strictly and work hard to make a Halal
living. Even adopting the cleaning, repair and maintenance work of the
Masjid will make their income Halal as all are equal in the House of
Allah.
… Allah strictly directs us to
follow
only such persons i.e. Alims, Imams, scholars, Muftis, Mullas, Moulvis,
religious speakers who are on the Right Path Of Allah and do not ask
for payment or adopt Islaam as a livelihood to earn money,
(Ref:
Al_Quraan: 036:021). We should henceforth be careful not to
follow such ‘commercial’ Alims/ Imams who have adopted Islaam as a
money earning job is a great sin being a Fi Sabil Illah voluntary work.
… The Quraan is the best Message
and
Guidance to mankind, (Ref: Al_Quraan:033:062). The Quraan is the best
Hadith, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 039:022). Allah’s Guidance is without any
contradiction, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 004:082). Allah’s Book is not
complicated, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 018:001).
… The Quraan is the Book of
knowledge, Guidance and mercy to those who believe, (Ref:
Al_Quraan:007:052).
… The Quraan is the Book of
Guidance to those who fear Allah, (Ref: Al_Quraan:
002:002,005).
… The Quraan is a Book of
Blessings
to mankind to be followed and become righteous to receive Mercy of
Allah, (Ref: Al_Quraan:006:155).
… Allah says to follow and obey
HIM
and the Prophet only, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 008:020,046 /
024:051).
Therefore the real Islaamic history ends here after the completion of
our Deen. At the most we can follow the companions of our Prophet who
did not practice any deviation. But we should not get involved in the
entire Arab history after the demise of our Prophet and Khalifas
involving various deviations, dissensions, sectarianism, differences
etc. Those who unnecessarily mix the entire Arab history with Islaam to
lengthen their lectures and confuse the people are not doing any
service to Islaam. Nowhere Allah ask us to follow the later Arab
history and their dissensions, differences, fighting, killings for
power, sectarianism, Maslaki and Fiqah differences, etc. to create
division of Muslims against the one Ummah concept. Therefore follow
Allah, His Quraan and the last Prophet with his authentic Hadiths in
conformity with the Quraan.
… Allah ask us to perform good
deeds
in the service of humanity which is multiplied ten times by Allah,
(Ref: Al_Quraan: 040:040 ). Hence social and community service like
helping
the poor and the needy should be given top priority not building of
Masjid and Madressahs to make a living and indulge in irregularities.
… Allah asks us to enter into
Islaam
completely, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 002:208). This means we should follow the
entire Guidance of Allah / Muhkamaat, (Ref: Al_Quraan:
003:007)
mentioned in the Quraan along with such Hadiths which are in conformity
with the Quraan and not to confine or corner Islaam to Five Pillars
only generally projected to misguide the Muslims from the entire the
Quraan. By giving too much over importance to so called five pillars
our Muslims have gone astray in other matters of life and
indulge
in falsehood, Shirk, Bidah, un Islaamic customs and practices etc.
… Allah strictly directs us to
worship and bow before HIM alone and perform good deeds,
(Ref:
Al_Quraan:022:077) which means we should not bow or worship or even
touch the legs of selfmade Demi Gods, Taghoots, Pir, Faqir, Babas,
Aamils as well as bow and ask for DUA before the Mazar/graves of saints
which is Shirk not excusable by Allah.
… Oaths taken should not be
broken as
it is a sin. Those who break their oath must feed the poor and the
needy for ten days, (Ref: Al_Quraan_005:089).
… Adulteration of food items, and
less weighing in scales are strictly prohibited, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_011:084-085).
… Always practice and do justice
in all matters of life, (Ref: Al_Quaan_005:044-047).
… Always love your parents and
never misbehave with them if they object to you some action,
(Ref: Al_Quraan_017:023-024).
… Blood relatives are closer to
each other and deserve all help and love, (Ref: Al_Quraan:
008:075).
… Always maintain good behavior
and good character, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 031:018).
… Do not shed each other’s blood
or
evict one another from homes, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 002:084).
This means
killing, suicide bombings and destroying homes as done by Talibans
should be avoided and condemned as anti-Islaamic.
… Do not worship except Allah and
always behave nicely and do good to parents, relatives, orphans and the
needy and establish prayers and Zakat, (Ref: Al_Quraan:
002:083).
… Follow Allah and not any
associates/Aulias, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 007:003). This means
there is no
concept of middle man/demi God/ Wasila/intercessor/recommender to
Allah, the Alimghty. The commonly used word of Maulana
actually
means ‘Our Allah’ or associate or deputy to Allah which is Shirk and
insulting. In entire Arabia and even in Afghanistan, the use of
‘Maulana’ word is prohibited.
… Obey and follow Allah and his
Messenger/Prophet and do not create any dispute/differences,
(Ref:
Al_Quraan: 008 : 020,046 / 024:051-054). Actually the Islaamic history
ends here and the rest of the Arab history involving differences,
deviations, dissension, sectarianism, in-fighting etc. is Muslim
history and should not be made part of our noble DEEN or
mingled
with our Deen. Follow Allah, the Quraan and the Prophet and his
authentic Hadiths which MUST be in conformity with the Quraan only.
None can change Allah’s
words, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 010:015, 024/018:027).
… Allah orders one Ummah concept
to
promote unity of the Muslims, (Ref: Al_Quraan_003:103,105
/ 021:092 /
023:052/ 049:010). Hence avoid forming and supporting the religious
leaders and their differing groups and parties to divide the Muslims.
… Avoid Shirk, (Ref:
Al_Quraan:
012:108 / 007:191,197). Please avoid misguidance of associating any
Pir, Aamil, Saint (dead or alive), Baba, intercessor, recommender,
Wasila, etc. to Allah as this is a great sin. All humans are equal
before Allah and equally accountable. Even asking anybody to make DUA
or making DUA behind Masjid Imam is Shirk. Don’t commit great SHIRK by
asking help and DUA from the Mazar/graves of dead saints.
… Allah directs the Muslims when
Azan
is heard, leave the trade and go to Masjid for Juma prayers and after
prayers disperse to seek the bounty of Allah, (Ref:
Al_Quraan:
62:009-010). This means
time is very precious in Islaam and should not
be wasted unnecessarily to delay the Juma Namaz with two
Azans,
two long Khitabs (speeches) hardly touching the Quraanic
Guidance/Mohekhmat, (Ref: Al_Quraan_003:007) and two
Khutbas (sermons)
with announcements etc.
… Allah has mentioned in
the Quraan
about 26 Prophets only but our Mullas deliberately increased the
strength to one lakh or more than one lakh twenty and thousands not
supported in the Quraan, or any authentic Hadith. This is just to
confuse and exploit us.
… Allah says those who indulge in
wastage and show business to impress others should fear Allah and the
Judgment Day as they are companions of Satan, (Ref:
Al_Quraan:
004:038). Avoid all show
business, pride, wastage of money like
excessive Qurbani, wastage of water in Wudu etc Be
moderate
/ Ummath Wasth, (Ref: Al_Quraan: 002:143).
… Allah directs to give the
relatives
their rights and help the poor and the needy travelers instead of
wasteful expenditure as such persons are brothers of Satan,
(Ref:
Al_Quraan: 017:026-027).
Some
of the Shirk and Bidah practices with no sanction from the Holy the
Quraan and authentic Hadiths are as follows:
Tawaiz, Jhar Phoonk,
Chadaway,
Nazranay, Mazaroon par Chadar Chadana, bathing the Mazars/graves of
Pirs, Astanoo par Ladyan Lagana, Khankhahi system, Tasawuf, Wazifay,
fairy tales, Karamat aur Jali (false) Mujezay, Istakhara, Sadqa,
Nujoom, Chilla, Ilm Jaffar, Ilm -o –Amal, Naqsh, Shab Barath,
Tareeqath, Gadi Nasheen, Sajada Nasheen, etc. These are all
man
made deviations to spoil the image of Islaam as a complete way of life
without any deviation and exploitation. Avoid them.
… Allah bestowed four Holy Books
i.e., the Torah on Prophet Musa, the Psalms on Prophet Dawid, the Bible
on Prophet Issa/Jesus and the Quraan on our Prophet Muhammad
(Peace-Be-Upon-all) thus completing the Deen of Allah,
(Ref:
Al_Quraan_003:007). Allah directs us that the previous three books are
in continuation to the Quraan (………..) and therefore should not be
rejected but should also be followed provided no changes are made.
… Avoid calling anybody as
Maulana as
it refers to Allah only, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_002:278,286/009:051/042:006)
as ‘Maula’ means Allah and ‘Na’ means ‘our’. But our Ulemas
deliberately add the word ‘Maulana’ to their names to impress us and to
promote their domination and greatness on us as
middleman/Wasila/priests like Pope and Bishops which is prohibited by
Allah, (Ref: Al_Quraan_057:027). They should be simply called Mulla,
Maulvi, Ustad, Alim or simply Mr./Janab with no other extra Khitab like
Sheikhul Islaam, etc.
… Allah directs us to practice
‘Khalis’/unadulterated Deen without any deviation/sectarianism as per
the Quraan along with such authentic Hadiths which are in accordance
with the Quraanic Directives, (Ref: Al_Quraan_098:045).
Hence please
avoid all weak and unauthentic Hadiths written not by our Prophet at
all but by various Imams after nearly 150 years after the demise of our
Prophet and were subject to manipulation and changes with the passage
of time. That is why we continue to search for Sahih Hadiths which
means that they are in conformity with the Words of Allah.
… Allahs says that those who
disbelieve the Holy the Quraan and its Guidance/Mohikhmaths on all
matters of life will go to Hell, (Ref: Al_Quraan_057:019).
… Allah says those who create
differences in the Words of Allah (through weak and unauthentic
Hadiths, tales, stories, sayings and traditions and on the basis of
over-research on a complete Deen, (Ref: Al_Quraan_005:003)
etc.) will
go to Hell, (Ref: Al_Quraan_002:176). Please avoid all
such misguidance
and deviation.
… The best dress (Libas/clothing)
of
a Muslim is practice of piety/Taqwa in all matters of life,
(Ref:_Al_Quraan_007:026). Hence avoid falsehood and dishonesty, sins
and evils, exploitation and deviation, Shirk and Bidah, un Islaamic
customs and practices contrary to the Quraan.
… Allah has strictly disallowed
any
Wasila/middleman/Pir/Faqir/Imam/recommender to make DUA on behalf of
anybody to HIM as Allah listens directly, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_007:197-198/035:013-014).
… Allah is very near to our veins
and
hears and listens to all our requests/Duas/Ilteja/calls etc. directly,
(Ref: Al_Quraan_002:186/040:060/050:016) as HE is our
Creator.
And hence no intervener/Wasila/Imam/Alim/Pir/Faqir (dead or alive) to
make Dua is required as they themselves are in need of Allah’s
Blessings like us. After Namaz, make Dua directly to Allah as the duty
of an Imam is to lead the prayers only which any Muslim can also do.
Avoid this Shirk.
… Allah has made all the humans
equal
(Human Right for all), (Ref: Al_Quraan_002:030, 002:177,
04:095,
004:135, 005:008, 005:032, 006:151, 016:090, 017:070, 033:072, 049:013,
053:036-039, 053:042, 095:004-006).
