Excellence of alt-Alan-Nab

Maul Al blew on an empty palm and...
Once a beggar approached the unbelievers and asked for something.
The unbelievers sent the beggar to Sayyidun Al

just for fun who was sitting nearby. The beggar approached Sayyidun

:

recited alt-Alan-Nab ten times and blew on the beggars palm.
Then, advising the beggar to close his fist and open it in front of the
unbelievers, he

_.
..
.
sent him back to them. (The unbelievers
were laughing expecting nothing to happen by just blowing on the
palm.) When the beggar opened his fist before them, there was a

.

dinar in his palm! Having seen this great marvel (Karma), several
unbelievers embraced Islam. (Rat-ul-Qulb, pp. 142)

Severed hand was attached back
Once an Abyssinian (Negro) slave, who had great esteem for
Sayyidun Al
,
, ,
.
:.

, committed the crime of theft. The
people took him to the court of Amr-ul-Mminn, Sayyidun Al

,
, ,

:.
,.
_..
..
...|
. The slave also confessed that he had committed
theft. Sayyidun Al
,
, ,
.
:.
,.
_..
..
...|
,
.
:
cut his hand implementing
the law of Shara. When the slave was on his way to home, he
came across Sayyidun Salmn Frs

..

,
and Ibn-ul-Kaww
_.
,
. Ibn-ul-Kaww inquired, Who has cut your hand? The
slave said, Amr-ul-Mminn Maul Al (

:.
,.
_..
..
...|
,
.
:
,
, ,
.
) has
severed my hand. Ibn-ul-Kaww said amazingly, He has cut your
hand and you are still taking his name with such an honour! The
slave replied, Why shouldnt I admire him? He cut my hand lawfully
and saved me from the torment of hellfire.
Sayyidun Salmn Frs

related same to Sayyidun Al

the slave and placed his severed hand back to the joint of the wrist
covering it with a handkerchief. Then Sayyidun Al

,
.
:

started reciting something. Meanwhile, a voice was heard from the
unseen, Remove the cloth. When the people removed the cloth, the
severed hand of the slave was found reattached with his wrist leaving
no scars behind! (Tafsr Kabr, vol. 7, pp. 434)

What is Karma (marvel)?

Dear Islamic brothers! Did you notice how Maul Al
,
, ,
.
:.
,.
_..
..
...|
,
.
:

reattached the severed hand of his slave by virtue of special blessings
bestowed by Allah

.
! Surely, the Almighty Allah

.
delegates
wonderful powers to His distinguished servants by virtue of which
wonderful happenings take place that are inexplicable and beyond
the comprehension of human beings. Sometimes having been the
victim of satanic whispers, some nave people start analysing marvels
(Karma) through their limited common sense and insight and this
is how they go astray.
Remember! A Karma is such a supernatural manifestation which
human intellect cannot comprehend i.e. which cannot be executed
by physical means.
On page 58 of Bar-e-Sharat [a 1250-page publication of
Maktaba-tul-Madna, a publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami],
Allma Mauln Muft Muhammad Amjad Al Aam
_.
,

has stated: Ir is the manifestation of such thing by a Prophet
before [the declaration of] his Prophethood; and if it is manifested
after the declaration of Prophethood, then it is called Mujiza
(miracle). If a similar wonder is manifested by a Wal, then it is

4
called Karma. It is called Manat if exhibited by a Mmin (true
believer). If such a supernatural manifestation is exhibited by some
Kfir (unbeliever) or a transgressor, then it is termed as Istidrj.

A water spring gushed out
Going on the way to Maqm-e-iffn, the battalion of Sayyidun
Al
,
, ,
.
:.
,.
_..
..
...|
,
.
:
came across a land where there was no sign
of water and the troops exhausted due to intense thirst. A monk
of a nearby church told they could find water 14 kilometres
away from there. Some of companions sought permission to go
there for quenching their thirst. Listening to them Sayyidun Al
,
, ,
.
:.
,.
_..
..
...|
,
.
:
mounted his mule and pointing out a place he
ordered to dig the ground. They started digging until a heavy rock
appeared. All efforts to take the rock out were in vain. Seeing the
efforts, Sayyidun Al
,
, ,
.
:.
,.
_..
..
...|
,
.
:
dismounted the mule and
the blessed fingers of his both the hands fumbled the crack in the
rock and all of a sudden he pulled the heavy rock off. And the pure
and crystal-clear stream of water gushed forth underneath the rock,
thus the whole battalion quenched the thirst from it. The troops
also let their animals drink the water and filled the containers. Then
Sayyidun Al
,
, ,
.
:.
,.
_..
..
...|
,
.
:
put that rock back to its place.
The monk of the church witnessed the marvel and said to Sayyidun
Al

:

:.

_..
..
...|
,
.
, Are you a prophet? The response of Sayyidun
Al
,
, ,
.
:.
,.
_..
..
...|
,
.
:
was in negation. The monk said, Are you an
angel? He

..
_.
,
said, Of course not! He then asked, Who are
you? Sayyidun Al
,
, ,
.
:.
,.
_..
..
...|
,
.
:
replied back, I am one of
the companions of the Last Prophet Muhammad Bin Abdull

_.

.
,
.
and he
,
_.

.
had also advised me of
something important. Having heard this much, the monk recited
the Kalima (article of faith) and embraced Islam. Sayyidun Al

,.
_..
..
...|
,
.
:
,
, ,
.
:.
asked him, Why have you taken so long time in
embracing Islam? The monk said, It has been written in our religious
books that there is a hidden stream near the church which will be
revealed by a prophet or a companion of the prophet and hence I

6
and many other monks before me stayed at this church in waiting
for the same. Today my dream came true to witness the event when
you uncovered the mystery of this hidden stream; I, therefore,
wholeheartedly embraced Islam.

in the House of Allah (Kaba) with both of his sons Sayyidun Imm

:
ordered to
bring the person to him. One side of his body was affected by paralysis;
therefore, he moved crawling and came to him. He

,

enquired what had happened to him. The person said, Amr-ul-
Mminn, I was bold in committing sins and my father, who was a
righteous and pious Muslim, would tend to prevent me from sins
repeatedly. Once my anger boiled over upon his advising to me and
I hit him hard. Having been hit, my father then sorrowfully went to
the Kaba and made supplications against me. All of a sudden I
was under his curse and one side of my body was affected by
paralysis and I had to move crawling on the ground. This divine
punishment taught me an admonitory lesson and I asked my fathers
pardon tearfully. Being helpless with fatherly love, he had pity on me
and forgave me. He then said to me, My son, let you go with me! I
will pray for your health exactly at the same place where I had
cursed you.
Thus, we were on the way to Makka

riding a she-
camel. All of a sudden, she stumbled and my father fell down
between two solid rocks and passed away,
. .
. .
. Now I
have come alone to the House of Allah. I keep on praying tearfully
to Almighty Allah

.
for my health.
Amr-ul-Mminn Sayyidun Al

_..

listened to his
pathetic story and said sympathically, O person! If your father was
really pleased with you, have patience,

.
everything will
be okay. Then Sayyidun Al

,
.
:
,
, ,

:.
,.
_..
..
...|
.
offered few Rakt
of al praying for his healing and then said,
.! i.e. stand up.

Upon listening to this, the person stood up comfortably and succeeded
in moving normal. (Mulakhkha az: ujjatulli-alal-lamn, pp. 614)

Reward of good conduct with Als progeny
Once there was a person namely Ab Jafar from Kufa who was fair
to everyone in his dealings. At particular, he would accept whatever
be the low price paid by anyone from amongst the progeny of
Sayyidun Al
,
, ,

:.

or he would record the amount as
a debt to Sayyidun Al

_..
..

,
.
:
. Unfortunately he turned
to be insolvent with the passage of time.
Once he was sitting at the door of his house. A man who was going past
taunted, Has your big debtor (i.e. Sayyidun Al
,
, ,
.
:.
,.
_..
..
...|
,
.

)
settled the debt yet or not? He was greatly shocked by the taunt
hurled at him. When he slept at night, he was blessed with the vision
of the Great Prophet

were also with him. The Noble Prophet

grandsons about their father. Sayyidun Al

from behind, O Prophet! I am present here. The Holy Prophet

inquired, Why do you not fulfill his right? He

..

replied, Y Raslall
,
_.

.
! I have already
brought the money with me. Hand it over to him, said the Prophet

,
handed over a
woollen pouch full of money to the person and said, It is your due.
The Holy Prophet
,
_.

.
said to the person, Receive it and
do not refuse anyone from his progeny who comes and asks you for
loan. From now onwards, you will never suffer poverty, destitution,
and deprivation.
By the time he woke up, he found the very woollen pouch in his
hand. He called his wife and said, Tell me if I am asleep or awake?
She replied, You are fully awake. He became jubilant and related
the whole story to his wife. When he checked the list of debtors, he
found that there was not a single penny of debt mentioned in the

name of Sayyidun Al

Four ways of giving four dirham in charity
adr-ul-Afil Allma Mauln Sayyid Muhammad Namuddn
Murdbd
_
,.
,.

..

has explained as regards this verse in
Tafsr Khazin-ul-Irfn: According to one of the verdict, this verse
was revealed in favour of Sayyidun Al
,
, ,
.
:.
,.
_..
..
...|
,
.
:
. Once he
possessed only four silver coins and nothing else for donating in
charity; so he donated all the four coins in charity - one coin at night,
one during the day, one secretly and the other openly.

Our way of giving charity
..|
,.
.
_
.
! How majestic are the righteous servants of Allah! As
you have read that they prefer to donate the money with sincerity
rather than accumulating it. Sayyidun Al
,
, ,
.
:.
,.
_..
..
...|
,
.
:
had
four (silver coins of) dirham which he donated in the path of
Allah

.
in such a way that one was given in day time and another
at night, one secretly and another openly as one does not know
which dirham being more acceptable in the court of Allah

.
will
bring the endless wealth of never-ending bliss and blessings.
On the other hand, even if we intend to give something in charity,
the intention of gaining the consent of Allah

.
lacks within us!
There is no sincerity and no desire for seeking pleasure of Allah

.

as well. All we want is just to show off that how much money we have
given in charity. We never get satisfied until our charity becomes
known to others. If its given at Masjid, we want Imm Sahib to call
our name aloud in his prayer (Du) so that people would get to

14
know about our contributed amount in charity. If a Muslim is
supported, the supporter has a desire that somehow or the other his
name should be mentioned, the songs of his generosity should be
sung by people. If we oblige someone, we want him to be staying as
our servant or slave, and praise us to the skies. The Holy Quran is
instructing us not to talk too much with pride about something
we do for others as well as ask only Allah

.
for the reward. As
Allah

Those who spend their money in the path of Allah, then after spending

others and remind them what we have done to them and making
them sad. And hurting them means to make them feel embarrassed

we stood by you or give them pressure in some other way is
prohibited. (Khazin-ul-Irfn) If only for the sake of Sayyidun Al

Strange secret of being never thirsty
The people who have an ideology of Dam dam mast Qalandar, Al

refreshing parable is presented below. Read and accept the truth if
Allah

grants Taufq:
Sayyidun Shaykh Ab Muhammad Abdull Mutad

has narrated:
..
,.
-.
.
, I was privileged to perform Hajj. In aram,
I heard about a person who would not drink water - I was greatly
surprised. I went to see him and asked the reason. He began to tell,
I am from Hillah (a city in central Iraq). Once I saw a horrific scene
in my dream and found myself exhausted due to the intense thirst
and somehow I managed to get to the aw-e-Kawar. I found in
there Sayyidun iddq Akbar, Sayyidun Umar Frq Aam,
Sayyidun Umn Ghan and Sayyidun Al
,
..
_.
...|
,
- all of
these respected luminaries were distributing the water to the people.
I moved to Sayyidun Al
,

_..

,

:
because I esteemed him
very much and considered him superior to the rest of three caliphs
of Islam. To my surprise, he

..
_.
,
turned away from me! I was
very thirsty so I went to the rest of three caliphs one by one and each
of them ignored me i.e. turned their faces away from me.
In the mean time, I came across the Prophet
,
_.

.
. I came
near him and complained, Sayyidun Al turned his face away
from me not to speak of quenching my thirst. The Holy Prophet
,
_.
.
said, How they would give you water! You are envious
of my companions. Having heard this I was sure that I upheld an
untrue faith. Being full of remorse, I repented sincerely before the
Holy Prophet
,
_.

.
. The Blessed Prophet
,
_.

.

gave a bowl of water which I drank and then I woke up.
..
,.
-.
.

I dont feel thirsty ever since I had a bowl of water from the blessed
hands of the Beloved Prophet
,
_.

.
. After this dream, I

21
have advised my family to do penance and those who did penance
and accepted Al-us-Sunna, I have maintained my relations to
them and broke with the rest. (Mulakhkha az: Mib-u-alm, pp. 74)

Our shrouds have been ripped to shreds, our hair withered away, our

is flowing through our nostrils. We have got whatever we had sent

Madan pearls of admonition
Dear Islamic brothers! The foregoing parable let us have a glimpse
of Sayyidun Als rank and glory and the listening power as how
he

..
_.
.
conversed with dead persons and asked them about
their conditions of Al-Barzakh, listened to their replies and let them
know about worldly affairs. Surely it is one of his magnificent
marvels as well as there are Madan pearls of admonition that the
one who doesnt mend his deeds and belief neither does he pay any
attention to his afterlife but keeps obeying only his sensual pleasure
in this world, his grave for him will turn into the house of adversity
then such concern and interest in the worldly desires will no longer
be of use.
Moreover, the one who kept spending his time specifically in
accumulating the riches of the world and later died in the same
condition and eventually buried in the dark grave, he will never ever
benefit himself with his enormous wealth; his family and heirs will
take up his wealth and they will fight and later leave each other after
having their share. Whereas this naive person engrossed in the craze

24
of accumulating wealth, living sinful life and ignoring the difference
between all & arm will deserve the torment of hellfire.

down an unbeliever in a fight and sat on his chest with an intention

said, Your act of spitting
made me angry. Consequently, you could have been killed due to
contempt of me not of my religion. I therefore let you go. The
unbeliever was deeply moved by his conduct and became a Muslim.
(Mirqt-ul-Maft, vol. 7, pp. 16, ad 3451)
Dear Islamic brothers! You must have noticed that the demonstration
of Sayyidun Als conduct brought good fortune for a Jew who
acquired the magnificent wealth of Islam. Similarly, other Aslf (the
predecessor) kept on weighing their good deeds lest it should not be
an act of ostentation. If they found a slight suspicion of interference
by their Nafs and Satan or hypocritical piety then they took
precautions immediately and at times they made it possible to
repeat that virtuous deed.

Repeated al of 30 years
A saint

offered his al for 30 years in the first row of a
Masjid. Once he did not find the place in the first row so he joined
the second row and began to feel ashamed that the people would
say, Look! He has missed first row today. As soon as this thought
crossed his mind, he retained his senses and came to account for his
Nafs saying: O Nafs! The al that I have been performing in the
first row for the last 30 years are just for showing off that now you
are ashamed of yourself? Therefore, he offered his 30 years al
again setting an outstanding example of humility and morality.
(Iy-ul-Ulm, vol. 2, pp. 302)
May Allah

have mercy on him and forgive us for his without
accountability!

was the

in the darkness of
night made him glad. By Allah

! He was very tearful, agile and
grieved. He accounted for his Nafs, liked coarse and thick clothes
and ate thick bread.

31
By Allah

! Everyone was a bit afraid to talk to him. If we ever
went to meet him, he

..

always greeted us first with delight.
He

answered our queries and accepted our invitation.
When he smiled, the blessed teeth looked as if they were a string of
white pearls. He

respected the pious, loved Maskn, never
gave hope to any influential or affluent to fulfil their useless desires.
No vulnerable person went disappointed from his court; rather, he
was sure to have justice.
By Allah

.
! I witnessed when the night fell, he wept bitterly
holding his beard and writhed like a wounded. I heard him saying:
O world! Have you turned your face away from me or you are still
desirous of me? O you deceptive world! Go and mislead someone
else and leave me alone. I have divorced you three times and will
never reconcile with you again. Your age is too short, your comfort
is corrosive, and your losses are huge. Ah! The last journey is much
longer, the provisions are not enough, and the route is tortuous full
of danger.

None is your friend but Allah and the Holy Prophet and the
true believers.
[Kanz-ul-mn (Translation of Quran)] (Part 6, Sra Al-Mida, Verse 55)
Here also Wal means helper. The aforementioned part of the verse
has brought about two notions. Firstly, invoking Y Al Madad in
hardship is permissible to say because Sayyidun Al
,
, ,
.
:.
,.
_..
..
...|
,
.
:

is the helper of all the true believers till the Day of Judgment.
Secondly, calling him Maul Al is also allowed as he is Wal and
Maul of all the Muslims. (Mirt-ul-Manj, vol. 8, pp. 417)

Blood-curdling parable of the punishment of Als
murderer after his death
It is stated on page 199 of Ghbat k Tab Kriyn which is a
chapter of Faizn-e-Sunnat, volume 2 [the 505-page publication of
Maktaba-tul-Madna, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami]:
Ima Abbdn said: I was wandering in a jungle, when I came
across a church. Nearby was a pastors monastery. When I saw the
pastor inside the monastery, I asked him to tell me about the strangest
thing he had seen in this (deserted) place. So he said: Once I saw a
monstrous white bird here, which resembled an ostrich. It sat on a
stone and vomited. First it spewed out a humans head, and then it
spewed out other body parts. It continuously kept vomiting and
every time different body parts barfed out and with lightening speed
these parts joined together to form a full man. As the man started to
stand up, the monstrous bird pecked on the man, cut him again into
pieces and ate him back. That horrifying sequence continued for
several days. My belief strengthened in Gods powers after witnessing
that incident, that surely God Almighty has the powers to give death
and then bring us back to life.
One day, I drew my attention towards the gigantic bird and asked
it, For the sake of the One Who gave you life! This time when this
human is formed, leave him alone so I can ask him about his action.

39
The bird replied in fluent Arabic, My Rab is the only Sovereign and
He is Eternal, everything else is mortal. I am an angel designated to
continuously punish him for his sin.
Next time, when the human was formed, I asked him, O human,
who has wronged his soul! Who are you and what is your story? He
replied, I am Abdur Ramn Ibn Muljim, the murderer of Sayyidun
Al (

.

_..
..

,
). After I died, my soul went in front of
Allah

.
, I was given my Book of Deeds. All my actions good or
evil were recorded in it from my birth to the martyrdom of
Sayyidun Al (

,
.
:
,
, ,
.
:.
,.
_..
..
...|
). Then Allah

.
ordered this
angel to punish me till the Day of Judgment. The man did not say
anything after this, and the monstrous bird pecked at him, swallowed
him and left. (Shar-u-udr, pp. 17)

that he was in love with a Khrij woman. His beloved was agreed to
marry him on condition of the murder of Maul Al. Alas! In the
worldly love of a human, Ibn Muljam got blind and he martyred

continue to suffer after death till the Doomsday. This doomed

acceptance and being closer to Allah

respect for the blessed companions and the esteemed descendents

and to find the special
benevolence of the saints, keep on strengthening your ties with

source to bring you success in both the worlds.
Such an evergreen religious companionship helps you to get rid of
the state of misfortune or afflictions caused by unorganised religious
belief and bad deeds as well as it makes up your mind to be stuck to
eternal truth. In order to make you intrigued, an enticing and faith-
refreshing Madan parable is presented:

Repentance from corrupt beliefs
An Islamic brother from Latifabad, Hyderabad (Bb-ul-Islam, Sindh)
has stated: Due to some peoples company, my frame of mind was
spoilt and I began to raise objection to Mld and Niyz for three
years. Before, I was very fond of reciting alt-Alan-Nab but due
to wrong peoples gathering, my passion for Durd-e-Pk just died
out. Once I happened to read about the excellence of alt-Alan-
Nab which restored my passion for alt-Alan-Nab and then I
bounded myself to recite it in abundance. Once in the night, reciting
alt-Alan-Nab, I fell asleep and in my dream I saw the green dome
and suddenly I called out;
.
In the next morning, I felt restless in my heart thinking only of what
the right path was! Coincidently, for dissemination of the Sunna, a
Madan Qfila of Prophets devotees belonging to Dawat-e-Islami
was staying at a nearby Masjid and someone invited me to join the
Madan Qfila. Since I was confused, I accepted the invitation and
became a traveller of Madan Qfila with the intention of finding
out the truth. I was wearing white Imma (turban) whereas others
were wearing green Imma, but no one criticised nor were they
being sarcastic during my travelling and I didnt even feel myself
stranger among them. The head of Qfila introduced Madan
Inmt and suggested me to make it as routine. I studied Madan
Inmt and was surprised to have such wonderful Madan pearls of
training I had ever had.
As a result of keeping company of Prophets devotees and the good
grace of Madan Inmt, I got the blessing of Allah

.
. I gathered
all travellers of Madan Qfila to bear witness and proclaimed that
I was heretic (Bad-Aqda) till the previous day but then I did
penance and intended to be affiliated with Madan environment of

43
Dawat-e-Islami. All Islamic brothers were glad and the following
day I offered l-e-awb on sweets of Rs. 30 in the name of
Sayyidun Ghau-e-Aam Shaykh Abdul Qdir Jln

and distributed by myself. I had been a patient of asthma for 35
years that troubled me each night and I had also pain in my right
jaw that prevented me to chew my meal properly.
..
,.
-.
.
! With
the blessings of Madan Qfila, I did not have any asthma attack
and I was then also able to chew my meal using the same painful
jaw without any problem. My heart bears witness that the religious
belief of Al-us-Sunna is true and I am prepossessed that the
purified Madan environment of Dawat-e-Islami is favoured by
Allah

and His Beloved Prophet

How about calling Sayyidun Al as Mushkil-Kush
Question 1: How is it to consider Maul Al

:.
,.
_..
..

,
.
:
,
as
Mushkil-Kush? Isnt only Allah

.
Mushkil-Kush?
Answer: Mushkil-Kush means the one who solves problems and
helps in difficulties. There is no doubt that verily Allah

.
is
Mushkil-Kush but by His Grace, Prophets, aba and Auliy
even a layman can be a Mushkil-Kush, a typical example of such
helpers are the small billboards with Madadgr Police Phone No.
15 in throughout Pakistan. Everyone knows that police is the most
resourceful and an able body to save the public from culprits, heists,
danger of enemies and in other law & order situations. The

called Anr which means
the helper. There are numerous examples can be given in this regard.

supporter, a watchman being a guard and a judge can be a provider
of justice then why Maul Al

How about saying Maul Al?
Question 2: Mauln, excuse me please! You have just said Maul
Al. However Allah

is the only Maul.
Answer: Undoubtedly, Allah

is literary the Maul. However,
figuratively there is no harm in saying someone Maul. Nowadays

45
the Islamic scholars and every bearded face is called Mauln.
Have you ever looked up the meaning of Mauln? If not, then
please let you know that it means our Maul. Look! The word
Mauln has also been used in your question. When we do not
have any evil whisper in calling a layman Mauln which means
our Maul then why we have evil whisper (Waswasa) in saying
Maul Al! Just recite

Al. The explanation of Maul for Sayyidun Al-ul-Murta

fact, Sayyidun Al-ul-Murta

The meanings of Maul interpreted by the renowned
exegetists
Question 3: You have written the meaning of Maul as a helper, do
other exegetists agree to it?
Answer: Why not! References from several books of exegesis (Tafsr)
can be quoted as an example. In the following six books of exegesis,
the meanings of Maul as mentioned in the above verse are Wal
(friend) and Nir (helper):
i. Tafsr abar, Volume 12, Page 154
ii. Tafsr Qurub, Volume 18, Page 143
iii. Tafsr Kabr, Volume 10, Page 570
iv. Tafsr Baghw, Volume 4, Page 337
v. Tafsr Khzin, Volume 4, Page 286
vi. Tafsr Nasf, Page 1257
In addition, following are the names of 4 books in which the meaning
of the word Maul has been given Nir i.e. a helper: (i) Tafsr

Question 4: It is included in the Sra Al-Ftia;

_ -
,
i.e.
and from You alone we seek help. As a consequence, is it Shirk to
seek help from others?
Answer: In aforesaid portion of the verse, help is meant to be literal
help i.e. it is being earnestly supplicated in the court of Almighty
Allah

.
having considered Him as the Creator: O Rab! From
You alone we seek help. As far as asking help from human being is
concerned, this is just to have known as the connection of divine
favour. As it is said in Sra Ysuf, Part 12, Verse 40:
Here is no Holy Order but of Allah.

.
.
.
.
.
Or as said in Part 3, Sra Al-Baqara, Verse 255:

,
.
, .
.
. _
.
.
.
.i
.
, .
.
. _
,
.
To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is

on the earth.

48
Then we take akm as akam the decision maker, and we claim
the ownership on our belongings. The portion of verse implies that
actual akam and the actual ownership but for the bondmen with
His bestowal. (J Al-aq, pp. 215) At many places the Holy Quran
declares the people as helpers other than Allah. In this context, 4
verses are as under:
1.

Is patience itself Allah with which it is ordered to seek help? Is al
itself Allah with which it is ordered to get help from? In the second
verse, it is stated:

And the Muslim men and Muslim women are the friends
of one another.
[Kanz-ul-mn (Translation of Quran)] (Part 10, Sra At-Tauba, Verse 71)
This blessed verse has been interpreted as follows: And they have
religious affection reciprocally and are helper and friends of one
another. (Khazin-ul-Irfn, Part 10, Sra At-Tauba, Verse 71)
According to true Islamic belief, if someone seeks help from the
Anbiy Kirm and Auliy Kirm in the mistaken belief that they are
responsible for all profit and loss without the will of Allah

.
; then
it is indeed Shirk. On the other hand, if someone having a strong
belief that Allah

.
is the Real Helper and the Owner of profit
and loss, seeks help from someone (being merely potential helper
due to blessings and divine favour) then it is not at all Shirk. And
this is our very religious belief.
Anyways, the portion of the verse of Sra Al-Ftia (

_ -
,

i.e. and from You alone we seek help) is true but to hell with Satan
because he instils the evil thought into the heart and create
misapprehensions.
Just ponder over the verse in which it is definitely forbidden to seek
help other than Allah without specifically mentioned about dead or
alive. The obvious and literal meaning interpreted and understood
by those with evil thought, regardless of others, even they themselves
cannot help committing Shirk. For instance, there is a heavy bundle
lying on the ground and one is helpless to lift it alone; calling
someone for help and said, Please help me in lifting this burden so
that I could put it on my head. As per the same evil thought, is it

50
not Shirk? Of course it is! Thousands of such examples can be given,
thus, there are numerous scenes around us of a range of facilities
offered by society help from other than Allah! For instance
.
_ .
_,
. i.e. spending in the path of Allah is meant to be

mutual support! It includes adaqa and charity, Fira and
Zak, donations to Masjid and Madris, demands of the skins of
slaughtered animals, social welfare organizations, etc. etc., all such
stand for only help, give assistance; be of service or improve the
condition of others through aid.
Furthermore, there are courts of law to help the suppressed, hospitals
are for help of patients, police are for the interior safety of public,
whereas army secures form the exterior foes, parents are required to
foster children while schools are needed for their education, in short,
in every walks of life, help and support are required by Ghayrull
(other than Allah) but even after death, the funeral and burial is not
possible without the help of someone other than Allah. Nevertheless,
help is still needed through l-e-awb until the Judgement Day
and on even the Last Day, an unavoidable help is most wanted that
is the intercession of our Beloved Prophet
,
_.

.
. These all
helps are from Ghayrull.

Question 6: If someone is lost in wilderness, how to get rid of it?

is the One Who satisfies
our needs, and He

.
is a Mushkil-Kush. Further, act upon the
true teachings of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet

properly. Following are the teachings for such occasion: The Holy
Prophet
,
_.

.
has said that when someone among you
loses something or is lost somewhere and wants help at the place

54
where he finds no one to support, he should then call out loudly:
, .
, .
, . .
,
(O Allahs servants! Help me!)
(Al-Mujam-ul-Kabr, vol. 17, pp. 117, ad 290) There are some servants of
Allah

.
who he cannot see. Sayyidun Mull Al Qr
_.
,

has written as per the forgoing ad: Some reliable Islamic scholars
have said that this ad is asan and the travellers often require it
while the Mashikh Kirm
|

, . .

,
.
narrate that this act is
proven. (Mirqt-ul-Maft, vol. 5, pp. 295)
If a pet animal flees away in jungle then...
The Prophet of Rama, the Intercessor of Umma

has said, If someones pet animal flees away in wilderness then call
out this way:
, . .
, !
, . .

- i.e. O Allahs
servants, stop it! O Allahs servants, stop it!) There are some servants
of Allah to stop and who will surely stop it. (Musnad Ab Yal, vol. 4,

servants, stop it! And Allah

stopped his animal at the same
time. (Al-Akr, pp. 181)

Who are meant by Allahs servant?
Question 7: It has been urged to ask help from Allahs servants in
the wilderness. Who people are contextually meant by the servants
of Allah?
Answer: Sayyidun Mull Al Qr
_
,.
,.
...|
..
..
.
has written on
page 254 of Al-irz-u-amn, an exegesis of in-e-an: The
contextual meaning of Allahs servants are the angels or Muslim
jinns or Rijl-ul-Ghayb i.e. Abdl.
Bay yr-o-madadgr jinayn ko na pcay
Aysaun k tujay yr-o-madadgr bany
,
. .
.
Why to ask help from the dead?
Question 8: It is acceptable that the alive can help each other and
calling the people for help in jungle can make sense as nowadays a
police mobile can reach sometimes to rescue in the jungle unlike
the ad doesnt mean police. However help can be received from
police or even calling someone for help through a cellular phone,
but how can we call someone for help who is already dead?
Answer: Do not call for help the one who really is dead. But the
Prophets
.

,.
..|
, ,.
..
.
and the Auliy Allah (

_.
..
...|
,
) are still alive
even after their temporal transfer. We, therefore, call the people for
help who are more alive than dead. These special people stay alive
after their worldly death; read some strong arguments as follows:

56
The Prophets
.
are alive
The Prophets
.

,.
..|
, ,.
..
.
are besieged by death just for an instant then
immediately they are bestowed the life same as before death in the
world. The life of Prophets
.

,.
..|
, ,.
..
.
(in grave) is spiritual, corporal
and worldly. They (in their grave) are as alive as they were in the
world. (Fatw Razawiyya, vol. 29, pp. 545)
The Beloved Prophet
,
_.

.
has stated:

, .
Meaning: The soil has been prohibited by Allah (

.
) to consume
the bodies of the Prophets (
.

,.
..|
, ,.
..
.
). The Prophets of Allah stay
alive (after their death) and they are provided Rizq (food). (Ibn Mja,
vol. 2, pp. 291, ad 1637)
It is also proved by a Ad that they perform Hajj and offer
al in their shrines. Sayyidun Anas

_.
..
.
narrated that the
Holy Prophet
,
_.

.
has said,
.

`
,:

i.e. the Prophets are alive in their graves and offer al. (Musnad Ab
Yal, vol. 3, pp. 216, ad 3412) Sayyidun Imm Munw
_ ,.
..
...|
..
..
.

has stated that it is a a ad. (Fay-ul-Qadr, vol. 3, pp. 239)
The Islamic scholars have said that sometimes a human is not
Mukallaf (bound) however he performs deeds in order to enjoy
himself same as the offering al by the Prophets in their blessed
graves despite the fact that (the world is the only house of act) the
Hereafter is not at all a house of virtuous act.

57
Sayyidun Ms

was offering al in his shrine
Sayyidun Anas

has narrated that Beloved Prophet has
,
_.

said, In the night of ascension, when we went past
Sayyidun Ms (

) he was offering al near by a red
mound in his grave. (a Muslim, pp. 1293, ad 2374)

call nor consider them dead. Allah

The renowned exegetist Shaykh Muft Amad Yr Khn

.

has written: When they are alive, getting help from them became

58
(also) permissive. The list also includes the names of those individuals
who were slain with the sword of Allahs love, which is why,
according to a ad, the one whose death caused by drowning,
burning, plague, childbirth, student (of religion), traveller, etc. are
all martyred. (J Al-aq, pp.218)
On page 545 of Fatw Razawiyya, volume 29, Al arat,
Imm-e-Al-e-Sunnat, Mauln Sh Imm Amad Raz Khn

.

..

has stated: Auliy Allah are alive after their death but
they are unlike Prophets because the life of Prophets is spiritual,
corporal and worldly and they are alive after their death as they
were alive in the world. Whereas the life of Auliy Kirm after death
is lesser than the Prophets
.

but greater than martyrs as
Quran says: Do not utter regarding martyrs as dead; they are alive...

Sayyidun Allma Al Qr

has said:

Meaning: There is not really difference in both the conditions (i.e.

their life and death) of Auliy Allah. It is therefore said that they do
not die but change their abode from one place to another. (Mirqt-ul-
Maft lil-Qr, vol. 3, pp. 459)

Difference between the life of Prophets and the life of
Muslim saints
Answering to a question, Al arat, Imm-e-Al-e-Sunnat,
Mauln Sh Imm Amad Raz Khn
,
.
|
..
.
said, Anbiy
Kirms life in lam-e-Barzakh is a real, sensual and worldly life.
The Prophets
|
, ,
,.
..
. . .

,
.
are besieged by death just for an instant to
fulfil the Allahs promise then immediately they are bestowed the
life as they had before their death. This life has also the same
worldly instructions; their personal property is not distributed,
remarriages of their spouses is arm neither the blessed wives are
not restricted to observe Iddat. They eat and drink and offer al
in their grave. The life of grave of Islamic scholars and martyrs is
comparatively better than their worldly life but the rules of ordinary
life cannot be applied on this spiritual life. And their tangible
possession will be distributed. Their spouses will observe Iddat.
(Mulakhkha az: Malft Al arat, pp. 361)
The support from a departed is stronger
The aforesaid rationale proved that the Prophets and the Auliy
Kirm are alive in their tombs. So the reasoning behind seeking
help from them in their worldly life, with the same reasoning, it is
correct and sounds natural to seek help from them during their
spiritual life, which is why, the great religious researcher, Allma
Shaykh Abdul aq Muaddi Dilv
_ ,
..
...|
..
..
.
has written that
Sayyidun Amad Bin Marzq
_.
,
has said: Once, Shaykh
Abul Abbs aram

asked me, Whose help is more

considerable from alive or from departed? I said, There are many

60
people, according to them, help from alive is stronger but what I
believe is that help from dead is relatively stronger. Shaykh said,
Yes. This is true because the demised saints are present in the
Heaven before Allah

I placed a Faqr in a grave. When opened the shroud to put his head
on dust so that Allah

have pity on his poverty and forgive him.
He opened his eyes in the grave and said, O Ab Al! You humiliate
me before Him who pampers me. I carefully said, Y Sayyid! Is
there any life after death? He replied,

i.e. yes
why not! I am alive and every beloved of Allah is alive. (Shar-u-

The proof of saying Y Al Madad
Question 10: A convincing argument is needed to justify the saying
Y Al Madad.
Answer: In the previous pages, we had a course of logical reasoning
aimed at demonstrating the truth about asking help from someone
in his life and after his death; however, following is a strong argument
about saying Y Al Madad:
On page 821 of Fatw Razawiyya, volume 9, Al arat, Imm-e-
Al-e-Sunnat, Mauln Sh Imm Amad Raz Khn
,
.
|
..
.

has written: The book, titled Jawir Khamsa authored by Sh
Muhammad Ghau Gawlyr
_.
,
is the very book of which
Waif were allowed by eminent Auliy Kirm including Sh
Waliyull Muaddi Dilv (
_ ,.
..
...|
..
..
.
). According to this
book, this Nd-e-Al should be read seven times or three times or
one time:
.
. .
. .
,.
. .
_ .
_ .
,

63
Translation: Call on Sayyidun Al who is the phenomenon of
marvels and you will find him at your service in your woes. All
pains & sufferings will be alleviated for the sake of His Wilyat Y
Al, Y Al, Y Al. (Jawir-e-Khamsa Mutarjam, pp. 282-453)
If saying Y Al is Shirk...
Al arat
_.
,
, has further said: If acknowledging Maul
Al as an alleviator of sufferings, a helper at the time of trouble, and
calling on him in pains & sufferings or keep saying Y Al, Y Al
in love for him, were Shirk, then (
...|
,..
..
.
) all of those Auliy Kirm
would be considered Kuffr and Mushrikn. And above all an extreme
idolater and confirmed unbeliever would be then Sh Waliyull
who acknowledged Mushrikn as Auliy Kirm...

..
..
_
Muslims must see that this is the punishment of holding people
Mushrik (polytheist) on saying Y Al, Y Al. Had they not unjustly
held the Muslims as Mushrik, they would not have been inflicted
the torment upon themselves being Mushrik with their past and
future generation. Now it is about time they came to the path of
virtue. They should stop holding the true Muslims as Mushrik or
else their own faith would come into question. (Fatw Razawiyya
referenced, vol. 9, pp. 821-822, Mulakhkhaan)

The evidence of saying Y Ghau
Question 11: Similarly, can the evidence of saying Y Ghau
be given?
Answer: Yes of course. After many arguments, an explanation is
also served. Sayyidun Mull Al Qr
_.
.
has reported that
Sayyidun Ghau-e-Aam
_.
,
has said, Anyone who calls
on me at the time of sufferings, his suffering will be alleviated and
the one who calls out my name for help in a serious trouble, the
intensity of his unrest would be subsided, and if someone in need,
take my name as a Wasla to the court of Allah

.
, his needs will
be fulfilled.
Sayyidun Mull Al Qr
_.
,
has further stated: Sayyidun
Ghau-e-Aam
_.
,
stating the procedure of performing
alt Al-Ghauiyya, has said: Offer two Rakt Nafl al. In every
Rakat, recite Sra Al-Ikhl 11 times after Sra Al-Ftia in
each Rakat and after Salm, recite alt-Alan-Nab 11 times:

Moving towards Baghdad (in Indo-Pak towards the West), take 11

steps ahead and on each step taking my name mention his need or
desire and recite the following stanza:

_ -
_ -
: .
J _.

Will I be oppressed however you are my priceless asset? And will I still
be persecuted in the world however you are my supporter! In the
presence of Ghau-e-Aam being my invaluable supporter this is
dissatisfying for my guard if a leash of my camel is lost in a jungle

65
Having said this, Sayyidun Mull Al Qr

_.
said:
.
i.e. alt Al-Ghauiyya is practically proven
many a time. (Nuzat-ul-Khayr, pp. 61)
usn-e-niyyat o kha to kab kart nan

(adiq-e-Bakhshish)
Dear Islamic brothers! You must have learnt that Sayyidun Ghau-e-
Aam
_.
,
has taught Muslims that we should seek his
assistance at the time of tribulation. A reliable and authentic scholar
of anaf school of thought Sayyidun Mull Al Qr
_.
,

without denying this said, This has been experimentally tested
and found it works. So, this is confirmed that seeking help from
Auliy (saints) after death is not only permissible but beneficial too.
(J Al-aq, pp. 207)
Three faith refreshing sayings of Ghau-e-Aam
Allma Shaykh Abdul aq Muaddi Dilv
_ ,

has
reported the blessed quotations of Ghau-e-Aam
_.
,
in his
book Akhbr-ul-Akhyr, three of them are as under:
1. If my disciple is being stigmatized in the east, whereas I am in
the west, I will cover up for him.
2. I will keep supporting my disciples till the Day of Judgement
even when they fall from the ride.
3. The one who calls out my name (i.e. says Al-Madad Y Ghau!)
for help in difficult situation, he will be eased. (Akhbr-ul-Akhyr,
pp. 19)

Question 12: Shaykh Abdul Qdir Jln
_.
,
would speak
Arabic & Persian languages. How would he help upon calling him
in different languages for example, Urdu, English, Pashto, Panjabi,
etc.
Answer: If a woman teases her husband in any languages, whose
would-be spouse, the houri understands.
Understanding other languages by Houri
There is a saying of the Holy Prophet
,
_.

.
: When a
woman teases her husband in the world, the houri speaks to his
wife and says:

, .
. .
: .
..
. ,
..
. .
, ,
.
Meaning: To hell with you! Do not hurt him. For his days are
numbered. Leaving you alone, he is about to reach out to us.
(Jmi Tirmi, vol. 2, pp. 392, ad 1177)
So a houri can understand other language then how come the Chief
of Auliy Sayyidun Ghau-e-Aam
_.
,
cannot understand
the other languages after death!
A faith-refreshing commentary on ad
In the light of the forgoing ad, the renowned exegetist of the
Quran Shaykh Muft Amad Yr Khn
..
..
. _.
..
..
|
has stated on

67
page 598 of Mirt, Volume 5: This ad highlights such important
points as houris in Paradise behold the events taking place on the
earth just like a fight is going on in a close room of a house and a
houri is watching! Here, Sayyidun Mull Al Qr
_.
,
said
that the angelic world above in the Heaven is well aware of the
people and their every deed. Secondly the houris have the news of
the end of each individual even they know about a Muslim would
die with piety (which is why they say, Soon, leaving you alone, he
will reach out to us). Thirdly, they are aware of the peoples rank
and the level of Paradise they will enter and live there. Fourthly, the
houris know and can identify their husband among the human.
Fifthly, the houris still get hurt if someone hurts us and they get
offended with our opponent; this is the news about heavenly houris
and the knowledge they possess and how about the Beloved and
Blessed Prophet

_.

.
,
,
who is the most eminent and
prominent scholar among all beings. Muft has further stated: The
sixth point is that the Beloved Prophet
,
_.

.
is well-
informed about the circumstances of the Paradise and the
conversation of houris; such conversation is only done by the houri
whose spouse is in there.
In the book of Tirmi, this ad is Gharb (i.e. a ad conveyed
by only one narrator) and does not exist in the narration of Ibn
Mja, but even so, it is not Gharbat-e-Muir (being harmful due
to its single narrator) because this ad is being backed in the Holy
Quran, as Allah

.
has said about His angels:

When backed by the glorious Quran, a af (weak) ad becomes
Qaw (strong). (Mirt, vol. 5, pp. 98)
Anyhow, the affairs of the Hereafter are Wab (i.e. granted by

be compared with worldly matters i.e. the affairs in the world require
physical or tangible efforts but they become Wab in the Hereafter.

Why to seek help from others when Allah
can help us
Question 13: What do you say about the one who makes up his
mind when Allah

.
is the Almighty Powerful, He should then
only be sought for help as a precautionary measure?
Answer: Of course, Allah

.
is the Omnipotent and He is the
Creator; if anyone begs Allah

.
for His help alone, he is not at all
blamable. However, seeking no help from others as a precaution, is
a great evil attack of Satan to upset ones mind which is why he is

69
acting upon this evil whisper in the name of precaution thinking
that maybe it is a wrongdoing to seek help from others other than
Allah. If this evil whisper had not preyed on his mind, why he
would have named it as precaution! Now it is mandatory for him
to get this evil whisper treated because following this evil whisper
will be disputing a lot of Quranic verses and opposing the Ad.
Allah

and His Beloved Prophet

asking for help from others, however, he is bent upon his anti evil

Allah is his helper, and Jibrl, and the righteous believers and after
that the angels are his helpers.
[Kanz-ul-mn (Translation of Quran)] (Part 28, Sra At-Tarm, Verse 4)

Kun k kim kar diy Allah nay Sarkr ko

No individual can live without help from others!
Question 14: Do you mean that no one can live without help from
someone other than Allah?
Answer: Yes I do. For example, you are driving a car and suddenly
it acts up and stops on the way. Now you need some help to push
start the vehicle. What would you do? You will have to request the
passersby for a push-start your car. Maybe some kindhearted give a
push and your vehicle might get started!
Now, you see, you were helpless and sought some help from someone
other than Allah; they did help you that solved your problem. If you
say that this is the help sought from the people who were alive then
let me give you an argument about help after death because every
Muslim is under the influence of this help:
How al of 50 times reduced to 5 times?
Sayyidun Anas Bin Mlik

Prophet

has said: Allah

.
ordained my Umma
to offer 50 times Far al. When I came back to Sayyidun Ms
(
.

,.
..|
..
.
), he said, What has your Rab ordained as Far to your
Umma? When I informed him, he said, Go back to your Rab, for
your Umma will not be able to do that. So I went back to my
Allah

.
, and He reduced it to some extent. I went back to
Sayyidun Ms (
.

,.
..|
..
.
) and told him, and he said, Go back to
your Rab, for your Umma will not be able to do that. So I went

72
back to my Rab, and He said, They are five but they are equal to
fifty; My Word does not change. So I went back to Sayyidun
Ms (
.

,.
..|
..
.
) and he said, Go back to your Rab. I said, I feel shy
before my Rab. (Sunan Ibn Mja, vol.2, pp. 166, ad 1399)
Now you see! Sayyidun Ms Kalmull

helped
the Muslim Umma, the people of the Beloved Prophet, after 2500
years of his apparent death in a way that 50 als were reduced to
5 daily als. Allah

.
knew that it would be five als but
ordained 50 then by virtue of two Beloveds, He finally allocated
five. Now the interesting point is that the people who deny the help
and cooperation of dead due to their evil thought penetrated by the
Satan, they also perform only five als not fifty. As a matter of
fact, in the allocation of five times als, the help of others than
Allah is certainly included!
Help of others is desperately needed in Paradise
In the Heaven the help from others than Allah will be required. Yes
of course, because the Blessed Prophet

has said,
The people of the Paradise will be dependent on the Ulam

due to the fact that they will be blessed
with the vision of Allah

.
; He will say: .

Me for whatsoever you want! The people of the Paradise will then
look at the Ulam

..

for advice as what to ask for. Then the
Ulam will tell them to ask for this and that:

(Al-Jmi-u-aghr lis-Suy, pp.135, ad 2235)

73
A human being is generally dependent on others in his life including
his parents, close relatives, friends and sometimes he depends on
cops or even on the passersby. In such case, how can an individual
be successful in remaining careful! But the one who is not a prey to
evil thought and by the grace of Allah

.
he admits others as
helper from the core of his heart and despite this fact he still seeks
help from Allah

.
, then there is no harm in it.

Is seeking help from other than Allah ever Wjib?
Question 15: Is it at any time Wjib (necessary) to seek help from
other than Allah?
Answer: Yes. There are some situations when seeking help from
other than Allah becomes Wjib and in some conditions it is also
Wjib on others to help the seeker. In this context, following are
those points of Islamic jurisprudence according to which seeking
help (cooperation) and helping the help seeker is Wjib:
The situations when seeking help is Wjib
1. If one is without clothes and is likely to offer al being nude
whereas others have clothes and it is almost sure that the other
will provide clothes if asked, then (help in shape of clothes)
begging is Wjib. (Bar-e-Sharat, vol.1, pp. 485)

74
2. If your companion has water and it is most probable that he
will give you the water on asking, then Tayammum is not
permissible before requesting for water. If not requested for
water and offered al after doing Tayammum and now he
requests for water after al and he gives the same or he gives
it without begging, in this case, it is mandatory to perform
Wu and repeat your al. If begged water but was refused,
the al was carried out. And if after al, he does not ask
for water to get to know of his giving or not giving the water or
he gives water on his own then your al was carried out. If
the probability of getting water upon asking was weaker and
the al was performed after doing Tayammum, the same
will be applicable i.e. water is given after al then repeat
your al doing Wu otherwise the al was performed.
(Bar-e-Sharat, vol. 1, pp. 248)
The situations when helping is Wjib
1. Someone crying for help being in the lurch and the praying
man is being called or he is calling out someone specifically or
someone drowning to death or someone is feared of burning to
death or a blind passers is about to fall in a well or (ditch) in
all such cases it is Wjib to seize/break the prayer being able to
save the victim. (Bar-e-Sharat, vol. 1, pp. 637)
2. It is not permissible to break your al if your parents or
grandparents are just calling you out. But if their calling you is
due to a big trouble; same as mentioned above then break your
al and rush to help them as this is the instruction while
performing Far Rakt. If performing Nafl al and the said
people know that you are offering your al then do not
break your al on their normal calling. But if they are not

75
aware of your performing Nafl al and are calling out then
break it and respond them no matter if it is a common call.
3. Someone is sleeping and has forgot to perform his al and
others know about it, it is then Wjib on them (helping him out)
to wake him up and remind him of if oblivious of his al.
4. Someone ate or drank or had sexual intercourse mistakenly, his
fasting is still valid whether it is supererogatory (Nafl) fasting
or the obligatory (Far) fasting. But the fasting will be invalid if
these things were found before the intention of fast and on the
reminder of his fasting, the fast was not recalled. If such acts
were done after reminding but in this case the expiation
(Kaffra) is not mandatory.
5. If a person observing fast is found in the middle of doing these
acts then it is Wjib to remind him (if he is not helped like
this) i.e. not reminding of ones fasting is committing a sin
unlike the person observing fast is physically much weaker and
if reminded he will leave eating, consequently his weakness will
increase so much that fasting will be difficult, if he eats, he will
be able to complete fasting as well as perform other Ibda
in case of this, not reminding him of his fast is better. (Bar-e-
Sharat, vol. 1, pp. 981)
6. If someone recites the Holy Quran wrongly, it is Wjib on the
listener to let him know of his incorrect reciting provided that
there is no jealousy or envy is created. Similarly, if you have
borrowed ones Quran for sometimes and you found any
typographical error, it is Wjib to let him know (as this is also a
way of helping) of such errors. (Bar-e-Sharat, vol. 1, pp. 553)

Allah is Shirk.
Answer: In this verse

i.e. calling another god other than

And worship not another god with Allah. There is no god
besides Him.
[Kanz-ul-mn (Translation of Quran)] (Part 20, Sra Al-Qaa, Verse 88)
According to above, it is confirmed that calling other (other than
God) considering as god is Shirk because it is an act of worship of

77
other than Allah. (For further details, please read Ilm-ul-Quran a
book of Muft Amad Yr Khn

Question 17: Unbelievers seek help from idols and you seek help of
Anbiy and Auliy (saints). Are you both not the same in committing
Shirk?
Answer:
...|
,..
..
.
, the matter of both is not at all the same.
Unbelievers have the faith that Allah

.
has given Ul-iyyat
(i.e. declared as gods) to the idols. Further, they regard idols etc. as
their intercessor and mediator in fact idols are not so.

can never be taken as worthy
of worship. We believe that all the Prophets

and Auliy are
the servants of Allah and do consider them as our intercessor,
mediator and honorary Mushkil-Kush by the grace and blessings
of the One and the Only Allah

the Creator.
Seeking help from idols is Shirk
akm-ul-Ummat Muft Ahmad Yr Khn
_.
..
..
..
..
.
has said,
Seeking help from idols by the unbelievers is Shirk owing to the
fact that they seek help from idols having believed them as a small
god and possess godlike powers. That is why they look upon idols
as god and declare them as worthy of worship. In other words, they
faithfully believe that idols are Allahs bondsmen/servant as well as
His partner in worship. (J Al-aq, pp. 171)

78
Definition of Shirk
Shirk is to testify someone as Wjib-ul-Wujd or worthy of worship
other than Allah i.e. associating a partner with the Ul-iyyat
(divinity) and this is the worst kind of Kufr (unbelief). Except this,
any act of Kufr however severe it is, cannot be genuinely Shirk.
Al arat
_.
,
has said, A man in fact cannot be turned
Mushrik (unbeliever) unless he eventually considers someone or
something worthy of worship as god or Mustaqil Bi-t (i.e. to exist
by his own self for instance, to have a faith that the knowledge he
possess is his own) and Wjib-ul-Wujd. (Fatw Razawiyya, vol. 21,
pp. 131)
It is stated in Shar-e-Aqid: Shirk is to associate a partner with
Ul-iyyat of Allah

.
such as Majs (fire worshippers) believe
that there is a Wjib-ul-Wujd other than Allah or believe that there
is a worthy of worship other than Allah such as the idol worshippers
do. (Shar-e-Aqid Nasafiyya, pp. 201)
