Severed hand was re-attached


Once a dark skinned Abyssinian slave, who had great esteem for
Sayyidun Al        !"  #  $, committed the crime of theft. The
people took him to the court of Amr-ul-Mu`minn, Sayyidun Al
        #  $. The slave also confessed that he had committed
    !" 
theft. Sayyidun Al       !"  #  $ cut off his hand, implementing
the law of Shara. When the slave was on his way home, he came
across Sayyidun Salmn Frs   %  !"    ' 
 ( and Ibn-ul-Kaww

 )*   !" &  ( . Ibn-ul-Kaww inquired, Who has cut off your hand?
The slave said, Amr-ul-Mu`minn 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 off my hand
lawfully and saved me from the torment of hellfire.

Sayyidun Salmn Frs  %  !"& 


 '  ( listened to what they had said and
related the same to Sayyidun Al       !"  #  $ who summoned
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 a Karma (miracle)?


Dear Islamic brothers! Did you notice how Maul Al       !"  #  $
reattached the severed hand of his slave by virtue of the special
blessings bestowed by Allah      ! Surely, 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
miracles (Karmt) through their limited common sense and insight
and this is how they go astray.

Remember! A Karma is such a supernatural manifestation which


the 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, the publishing department of Dawat-e-
Islami], Allma Mauln Muft Muhammad Amjad Al Aam
34 5    + 2 
 1 (  ) has stated: Ir is the manifestation of such a 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 called Karma. It is called Manat if exhibited by a Mu`min
(true believer). If such a supernatural manifestation is exhibited by

www.dawateislami.net
Miraculous Wonders of Sayyiduna Ali 4

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

Miraculous Wonders of Sayyiduna Ali 5

water and the troops were exhausted due to intense thirst. A monk
of a nearby church informed them that 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 to a place and
he ordered the ground to be dug. They started digging until a heavy
rock appeared. All efforts to take the rock out were in vain. Seeing
their efforts, Sayyidun Al       !"  #  $ dismounted the mule
and the blessed fingers gripped a crack in the rock and all of a sudden
he pulled the heavy rock out. Pure and crystal-clear stream of water
gushed forth from beneath the rock, thus, the whole battalion
quenched the thirst from it. The troops also let their animals drink
and filled their containers. Then Sayyidun Al        !"    #  $
put that rock back into its place.

The monk of the church witnessed the miracle 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, I

Abdull -      )*  !" & 0   
 /  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 such a 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 and many other monks before me stayed at this church
waiting for this occurrence. Today my dream came true to witness
the event when you uncovered the mystery of this hidden stream; I,
therefore, wholeheartedly embraced Islam.

Sayyidun Al        !"    #  $ wept so much that his beard was
drenched in tears. He then said,       6 2 7  ! I have been mentioned
even in their books. The monk became one of the companions and

while fighting against the Syrians. Sayyidun Al        !"    #  $
himself buried him and prayed for his forgiveness. (Mulakhkha az:

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, come with me! I will pray
for your health exactly at the same place where I had cursed you.

Our way of giving charity

  >  ?-
! How dignified are the righteous servants of Allah! As
you have already read that they prefer to donate their money with
sincerity rather than accumulating it. Sayyidun Al       !"  #  $
had four dirhams (4 silver coins) which he  %  !"& 
 '  ( donated in the
path of Allah in such a way that one was given during the day and
another at night, one secretly and another openly as one does not
know which dirham will be more acceptable in the court of Allah     
and 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 Pleasure of Allah      lacks within us!
There is no sincerity and no desire for seeking the Pleasure of
Allah      . All we want is to just 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 a Masjid, we want the Imm Sahib
to mention our name aloud in his prayer (Du) so that people would
get to know about our contributed amount in charity. If a Muslim
is supported, the supporter has a desire that somehow or the other

www.dawateislami.net

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 till the skies. The Holy Quran
is instructing us not to talk with pride about favours we do to others,
and that we should only ask Allah      for reward. As Allah     
has said in Part 3, Sra Al-Baqara, Verse 262:

Those who spend their money in the path of Allah, then after spending
neither boast of favours conferred nor hurt, their reward is with their
Lord. [Kanz-ul-mn (Translation of Quran)] (Part 3, Sra Al-Baqara, Verse 262)

adr-ul-Afil Allma Mauln Sayyid Muhammad Namuddn


Murdbd 3<    + , (  ) has explained: Remembering a favour
means to mention it to others and to remind them what we have
done for them and making them sad. And hurting them implies
that we make them feel embarrassed saying that you were helpless,
hopeless and a poor fellow of no use; we stood by you, or to give them
pressure in some other way is prohibited. (Khazin-ul-Irfn) If only,
for the sake of Sayyidun Al        !"    #  $ may Allah     
enable us with the passion of sincerity when giving charity.

Conversation with the deceased


Dear Islamic brothers! One of luminous spiritual aspects of Amr-ul-
Mu`minn Sayyidun Al-ul-Murtas grandeur is that he was able
to communicate with the dead with the bestowal of Allah      , which
is proved. Therefore, Sayyidun Imm Abdur Ramn Jalluddn
Suy Shfi E: F   + 2 1 (  ) has mentioned in Shar-u-udr:

words of  3 from the grave, and somebody
was saying: O Amr-ul-Mu`minn! Give us the news about what

have been divided, your wives have remarried, your children became
orphans, and your enemies have settled in the houses which you had
made so strong. Now tell us what happened with you. Listening to
that, a reply came from a grave, O Amr-ul-Mu`minn! Our shrouds
have been shredded, our hair withered away, our skin has torn into
pieces, our eyes drained onto our cheeks. Pus is oozing from our
nostrils and we received the same for whatever we had sent forward
(i.e. the deeds we performed), and we have incurred loss in whatever
we left behind. (Shar-u-udr, pp. 209; Ibn Askir, vol. 27, pp. 395)

Madan pearls of admonition


Dear Islamic brothers! By virtue of the above-mentioned parable,
we have received a glimpse of Sayyidun Als high rank and
magnificence, and his great listening power, as how he  %  !" & 
 '  (

www.dawateislami.net
Miraculous Wonders of Sayyiduna Ali 24

conversed with the dead and asked them regarding their condition
in Barzakh, he also listened to their reply and informed them about
the worldly affairs. Beyond doubt, it is one of his great miracles.
In addition to this, there are Madan pearls of admonition in this
parable. The one who doesnt reform his deeds and beliefs in this
worldly life, and instead he continues enjoying and fulfilling his
sensual desires whilst remaining careless about the afterlife, his grave
will turn into the house of adversity for him; the worldly ambitions
and carnal desires will not help him at all.

Furthermore, the one who spent his lifetime in only hoarding the
riches of the world and then died in the same condition and was
eventually buried in the dark grave, he can never ever benefit himself
from his enormous wealth; his households and heirs will take control
of his wealth and they might even fight with each other over this
wealth. Whereas this unwise person who was engrossed in the craze
of accumulating wealth, living a sinful life and ignoring the rulings
of all & arm will deserve the torment of the hellfire.

personal and not for the sake of faith. I therefore let you go. The
unbeliever was deeply moved by his devotional conduct and became

Dear Islamic brothers! You must have noticed that by virtue of


the devotional conduct of Amr-ul-Mu`minn Sayyidun Al
 
    #  $ a Jew embraced the magnificent religion of Islam.
    !"
Similarly, other saints of Islam would continue reviewing their
good deeds to avoid falling prey to ostentation (showing off). If they
would find even a slight suspicion of interference by their Nafs
(lower-self) or satan or ostentation, they would observe cautions
instantly and at times they would repeat that virtuous deed.

Past 30 years of al were repeated

he joined the second row and began to feel ashamed that the people

thought crossed his mind, he began the accountability of his Nafs
(lower-self) by saying: O Nafs! The al that I have been offering
in the first row for the last 30 years are just for showing off before the
people that is why you are ashamed of yourself today? Therefore,
he repeated his 30 years of al and thus set an outstanding example
of devotion and faithfulness. (Iy-ul-Ulm, vol. 2, pp. 302)

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

Blood-curdling parable of the punishment of Sayyidun


Als murderer after his death
It is mentioned on page 199 of Ghbat k Tab Kriyn which is
a chapter of Faizn-e-Sunnat, volume 2 [the 505-page publication

www.dawateislami.net
Miraculous Wonders of Sayyiduna Ali 39

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 ever seen in this (deserted) place. So he said:
Once I saw a giant white bird here, that 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 organs were spewed out and then these
organs assembled together to form a full man. As the man started to
stand up, the monstrous bird pecked at the man, cut him again into
pieces and ate him again. That horrifying process continued for several
days. My belief strengthened in Allahs powers after witnessing that
incident, that surely Allah Almighty has the powers to give death
and then bring 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, let him stay a while so that I can ask him about
his deeds. The bird replied in eloquent Arabic, My Rab (     ) is the
only Sovereign and He is Eternal, everything else is mortal. I am an
angel deputed for continuously tormenting him for his sin.

Next time, when the human was formed, I asked him, O person
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 was presented before

Terrible fate of craving after lust


Dear Islamic brothers! You have just read that the murderer of
Maul Al who was an infidel and an irreligious Khrij eventually
met a terrible fate! Why was that unfortunate person convinced to
commit such a grave sin as mentioned earlier that he was in love
with a Khrij woman. His beloved was agreed to marry with him on
condition of the murder of Maul Al        !"    #  $. Alas! The
love affair made Ibn Muljam go astray and he martyred such an
eminent personality Amr-ul-Mu`minn Sayyidun Al-ul-Murta

    !"
this wicked person was punished instantly in a way that people caught
him and sliced him into pieces, put the pieces in a basket and set
fire; and within a few seconds he burnt to ashes. Further, you have
just read about the post-death severe torment which he will continue
to suffer till the Doomsday. This doomed person neither got anything

and to gain the spiritual benefits from the Awliy-Allah, continue
strengthening your ties with the Madan environment of Dawat-e-
Islami, which is in fact an effective source to bring you success in
both the worlds. By virtue of this Madan environment, one gets rid
of the vice of corrupt beliefs and bad deeds, and becomes steadfast
on the Right Path. For your persuasion, a faith-refreshing Madan
parable is presented:

Repentance from corrupt beliefs


An Islamic brother from Laifabd, Hyderabad (Bb-ul-Islam, Sindh)
has stated: Due to bad company, my frame of mind was spoilt and I
began to raise objections to Mld and Niyz for three years. Before,
I was very fond of reciting alt-Alan-Nab but due to being associated
in the gathering of wrong people, my passion for alt-Alan-Nab
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;  3 .

The next morning, I felt restless in my heart only thinking which


is the right path! Coincidently, for dissemination of the Sunna, a
Madan Qfila of the 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 the Madan Qfila with the intention of
finding out the truth. I was wearing white Imma (turban) whereas
others were wearing green Immas, but no one criticised me nor
were they sarcastic during my travelling and I didnt even feel myself

www.dawateislami.net
Miraculous Wonders of Sayyiduna Ali 43

a stranger among them. The Amr (head) of the Qfila introduced


the Madan Inmt program (booklet) and suggested me to make it
a routine. I studied the Madan Inmt and was surprised to have
such wonderful Madan pearls of training I had ever had.

As a result of keeping the company of the Prophets devotees and


the good grace of the Madan Inmt, I received the blessings of
Allah      . I gathered all the travellers of the Madan Qfila to bear
witness and proclaimed that I was a heretic (Bad-Aqda) till the
previous day but then I did repent and made intention to be affiliated
with the Madan environment of 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 G H    - J 6  K and distributed among them. I had been a patient
of asthma for 35 years that troubled me each night and I also had a
pain in my right jaw that prevented me to chew my meal properly.
      6  2 7
  ! With the blessings of the Madan Qfila, I did not
have any asthma attack anymore and I was then able to chew my
meal using the same painful jaw without any problem. My heart
bears witness that the religious belief of Al-e-Sunnat is true and I
am clearly convinced that the purified Madan environment of
Dawat-e-Islami is favoured by Allah      and His Beloved Prophet

How is it to call Sayyidun Al as Mushkil-Kush?


Question 1: How is it to consider Maul Al        !"    #  $ as
Mushkil-Kush? Is not 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 Awliy
even a layman can be a Mushkil-Kush, a typical example of such
helpers are the small billboards with the Madadgr Police Phone
No. 15 found throughout Pakistan. Everyone knows that the police
are resourceful and an able body to save the public from culprits,
heists, dangers of the enemies and in other law & order situations.

How is it to say Maul Al?


Question 2: Mauln, excuse me please! You have just said Maul
Al. However Allah      is the only Maul.

Answer: Undoubtedly, Allah      is literally the Maul. However,


figuratively there is no harm in calling someone Maul. Nowadays
the Islamic scholars and every bearded face is called Mauln. Have
you ever looked up the meaning of Mauln? If not, then please be
advised 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
would anyone possess an evil whisper (Waswasa) about saying

Maul Al! Just recite
 and make satan run

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

The meanings of Maul


The renowned exegetist, akm-ul-Ummat Shaykh Muft Amad Yr
Khn  %2    + 2 1 (  ) has stated according to the above-mentioned
ad: There are several meanings of Maul for example, friend,
helper, a freed slave, the one who frees a slave. In this ad, the
word Maul does not imply caliph or king but it implies friend and
ally or in other words a helper. In fact, Sayyidun Al-ul-Murta
 
      #  $ is not only a friend of Muslims but also a helper
    !" 
which is why he  %  !"& 
 ( is called Maul Al.

(Mirt-ul-Manj, vol. 8, pp. 425)

Best explanation of

Question 4: It is included in the Sra Al-Ftia; i.e.
From You alone we seek help. So, seeking help from others is Shirk
which means to associate partners with Allah      , isnt it?

Answer: In the above-mentioned verse, help is meant to be the real


help i.e. it is being earnestly supplicated in the court of Almighty

www.dawateislami.net
Miraculous Wonders of Sayyiduna Ali 48

Allah      having considered Him as the Real and True Helper:
O Rab! From You alone we seek help. As for asking help from
human beings, this is just to gain Allahs favour knowing that
human beings are only a medium. As it is said in Sra Ysuf, Part
12, Verse 40:
 
Here is no Holy Order but of Allah. ( V P Q F
/ \It
4

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

(u  F
ST $'  v   "



S T $' ^]  _

To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is
on the earth.

Nevertheless, we accept the authorities as akam i.e. the decision


maker, and at the same time we claim the ownership on our personal
belongings. So, the verse meant to be the actual Authority (i.e. Allah
     the Supreme Decision Maker) and the actual Owner. But the

ownership of Allahs servants is bestowed on them by Allah      .


(J Al-aq, pp. 215)

And the Muslim men and Muslim women are the friends of one

[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 helpers and friends of one
another. (Khazin-ul-Irfn, Part 10, Sra At-Tauba, Verse 71)

According to true Islamic beliefs, if someone seeks help from the


Anbiy Kirm and Awliy Kirm in the mistaken belief that they are
responsible for all harms and favours without the will of Allah      ;
then this is indeed Shirk (associating partners with Allah      ). On

www.dawateislami.net
Miraculous Wonders of Sayyiduna Ali 50

the other hand, if someone having a strong belief that Allah      is
the real and true Helper and the Owner of all harms and favours, if
that person seeks help from someone (being merely a potential
helper due to blessings and divine favour) then it is not at all Shirk,
and this is our very religious belief.


Anyways, the verse of Sra Al-Ftia ( i.e. from You
alone we seek help) is true, and to hell with satan because he
instils evil whispers into the heart and creates confusions and
misunderstandings. Just ponder over the verse in which it is definitely
forbidden to seek help from other than Allah without specific mention
of the dead or alive. The obvious and literal meaning interpreted
and understood by those afflicted with evil whispers, 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; he called 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 whispers, is it not Shirk? Of course it is! Thousands
of such examples can be quoted. Thus, there are numerous
instances of help being offered from others than Allah! For instance


i.e. spending in the path of Allah is meant to be a
mutual support! It includes adaqa and charity, Fira and
Zak, donations to the Masjid and Madris, demands of the skins
of sacrificed animals, social welfare organizations, etc. etc., all such
avenues stand for only help, giving assistance; being of service or
improving the condition of others through aid.

Furthermore, there are courts of law to help the oppressed, hospitals


are there to help patients, police are responsible for the public safety,
whereas the army ensures safety from external enemies, parents
are required to foster children while schools are needed for their
education. In short, in every step of life, help and support by

www.dawateislami.net
Miraculous Wonders of Sayyiduna Ali 51

Ghayrull (others than Allah) are sine-quo-non, but even after death,
the funeral and burial is not possible without the help of someone
other than Allah. After this, help will still be needed through l-e-
awb (donating rewards to the deceased) in the long run until the
Judgement Day. On the day of Resurrection, an unavoidable help
will be most wanted; the intercession of our Beloved and Blessed
Prophet -      )* !"& 0

Why should one ask help from the dead?


Question 8: It is acceptable and understood that the living can help
each other and calling out to people for help in the jungle makes sense
as nowadays a police mobile unit can sometimes reach to rescue
people in the jungles, however the ad doesnt mean police, but
help can be received from the police or even calling someone for help
through a cellular phone etc., but how can we call out to someone
for help who is already dead?

Answer: Do not call out for help from the one who is really dead.
But the Prophets #A @ 
    ) and the Awliy-Allah ( !"
    ( ) are still
  ,
alive even after their worldly transfer. We, therefore, call out to those
people, for help, who are more living than dead. These special people
stay physically alive even after their worldly death; read some strong
arguments and proofs as follows:




The Prophets 3 are alive
The Prophets #A @  O 4N   )  taste death just for a moment, but then
immediately they are bestowed with life as before death in the world.
The life of Prophets #A @     ) (in the grave) is spiritual, physical and
worldly. They (in their graves) are as alive as they were in the world.

And do not utter regarding those who are slain in Allahs cause as

[Kanz-ul-mn (Translation of Quran)] (Part 2, Sra Al-Baqara, Verse 154)

The renowned commentator, akm-ul-Ummat Shaykh Muft Amad


Yr Khn  %7  + 2 1 (  ) has written: When they are alive, receiving
help from them is (also) permitted. 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 was caused
by drowning, burning, plague, childbirth, a student (of religion), a
traveller, etc. are all considered as martyrs. (J Al-aq, pp.218)

they are unlike Prophets because the life of Prophets is spiritual,


physical and worldly and they are alive after their death as they were
alive in the world. Whereas the life of Awliy-Kirm after death is
lesser than the Prophets #A @   ) but greater than martyrs as the
 
Holy Quran says: Do not utter regarding martyrs as dead; they are
alive. (Fatw Razawiyya, vol. 29, pp. 545)

    ) taste death just for a moment to fulfil the
  
 
promise of Allah      , then, immediately they are bestowed with
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 (forbidden), neither are their blessed wives
restricted to observe Iddat. They eat and drink and offer al in
their grave. The life in the 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
possessions will be distributed. Their spouses will observe Iddat.
(Mulakhkha az: Malft Al arat, pp. 361)

The support from the departed is stronger


The above-mentioned arguments have proved that the Prophets

alive in their tombs. So the rationale behind seeking help from them
in their worldly life, with the same rationale, it is correct and accepted
to seek help from them during their spiritual life, which is why, the
great religious researcher, Allma Shaykh Abdul aq Muaddi

living is stronger, but what I believe is that help from the dead is
relatively stronger. The Shaykh said, Yes. This is true because the
demised saints are present in Heaven before Allah      .

sufferings, a helper at the time of trouble, and calling on him in


pains & sufferings or to keep saying Y Al, Y Al in his love ,
were all Shirk (i.e. associate partners with Allah      ), then (T !U )
all of those Awliy-Kirm would be considered as Kuffr (infidels)
and Mushrikn (polytheists). And above all, an extreme idolater
and confirmed polytheist would be then Sh Waliyull who
acknowledged Mushrikn as Awliy-Kirm... (and indeed this is
absolutely not the case).

Muslims must see that this is the punishment of holding people


Mushrik (unbeliever) on saying Y Al, Y Al. Had they not unjustly
held the Muslims as Mushrikn, they would not have been inflicted
the torment upon themselves being Mushrikn with their past and
future generation. Now it is about time they came to the true path
of virtue. They should stop holding the true Muslims as Mushrikn
or else their own faith would come into question. (Fatw Razawiyya

Question 11: Similarly, could I be provided with the evidence of
saying Y Ghau?

www.dawateislami.net
Miraculous Wonders of Sayyiduna Ali 65

Answer: Yes of course. After many arguments, an explanation is also


served. Sayyidun Mull Al Qr 3(  ?   + 2 1 (   ) 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 when in serious trouble, the
intensity of his unrest would be subsided, and if someone in need,
takes my name as a Wasla (medium) to the court of Allah      ,
his needs will be fulfilled.

Sayyidun Mull Al Qr 3(  ? + 2 1 (   ) has further stated: Sayyidun
Ghau-e-Aam # $V   + 2 1 (   ) stating the procedure of performing
alt Al-Ghauiyya as follows: Offer two Rakt of Nafl al. In
each Rakat, recite Sra Al-Ikhl 11 times after Sra Al-Ftia

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


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

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.

Dear Islamic brothers! You must have learnt that Sayyidun Ghau-e-

 1 (  ) without denying this has said, This has been
experimentally tested and the results show that it works. Therefore,
this is confirmed that seeking help from Awliy (saints) after their
death is not only permissible but beneficial as well. (J Al-aq, pp. 207)

the west, I will cover him.

even when they fall from their ride.

3. The one who calls out my name (i.e. says Al-Madad Y Ghau!)

A faith-refreshing commentary on this ad


In the light of the above-mentioned ad, the renowned commentator
of the Glorious Quran, akm-ul-Ummat Shaykh Muft Amad
Yr Khn  %2    + 2 1 (  ) has stated on page 98 of the book Mirt,
Volume 5: This ad highlights such important points as Pure
Maidens in Paradise behold the events taking place on earth just
as if an argument is going on in a closed room of a house and a
Pure Maiden is watching this! Here, Sayyidun Mull Al Qr

 1 (  ) said that those in the angelic world above in the
Heavens is well aware of the people and their every deed. Secondly
the Pure Maidens even possess knowledge of the end of each
individual whether a Muslim would die with piety (which is why
they say, Leaving you alone, he will soon come to us). Thirdly, they
are aware of the peoples rank and the level of Paradise that they
will enter and live therein.

Fourthly, the Pure Maidens know and can identify their husband
among the humans. Fifthly, the Pure Maidens get hurt if someone
hurts us and they get offended with our opponent; this is the news

is 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

www.dawateislami.net

Holy Quran, as Allah      has said about His angels:

[Kanz-ul-mn (Translation of Quran)] (Part 30, Sra Al-Infir, Verse 12)

Answer: Of course, Allah      is the Omnipotent and He is the

blameworthy. 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

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 would
he have named it as a precaution! Now it is mandatory for him to

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 gets stuck 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 kind-hearted person will help
and your vehicle might get started! Now, you see, you were helpless
and sought help from someone other than Allah; they did help and
that solved your problem. If you say that this is the help sought from
the people who are living then let me give you an argument about help
after death because every Muslim is under the influence of this help:

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 His
two Beloveds, He finally allocated five. Now the interesting point
here is that those people who deny the help and cooperation of and
from the dead due to their evil thoughts penetrated by satan the
cursed, 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!

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 a case, how can an individual
be successful in remaining careful! But the one who is not a prey to
evil thoughts and by the grace of Allah      he admits others as
helpers from the core of his heart and despite this fact he still seeks
help from Allah      , then there is no harm in this.

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, the following are
those points of Islamic jurisprudence (Fiq) according to which
seeking help (cooperation) and helping the seeker of help becomes
Wjib:

www.dawateislami.net
Miraculous Wonders of Sayyiduna Ali 75

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 certain that the other
will provide clothes if asked, then (help in the shape of clothes)
begging is Wjib. (Bar-e-Sharat, vol.1, pp. 485)

2. If your companion has water and it is most probable that he


will give you the water upon asking, then Tayammum is not
permissible before requesting for water. If one did not request
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 one begged (asked) for water but was
refused, the al was then carried out. And if after al, he
does not ask for water to know of the persons giving or not
giving the water or he gives water on his own then the al
was carried out. If the probability of getting water upon asking
was weaker and the al was performed after performing
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
person is being called or he is calling out someone specifically
or someone who is drowning or someone has a fear of burning
to death or if a blind passer is about to fall in a well or (ditch)
in all such cases it is Wjib to seize/break ones prayer (al)
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 out to you. But if their calling you

www.dawateislami.net
Miraculous Wonders of Sayyiduna Ali 76

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 al. 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 aware of
your performing Nafl al and are calling out, then break it
and respond to them no matter even if it is a common call.
(Bar-e-Sharat, vol. 1, pp. 638)

3. If someone is sleeping and has forgot to perform his al and


others are aware of this, then it is Wjib on them (helping him
out) to wake him up and remind him of being oblivious of his
al. (Bar-e-Sharat, vol. 1, pp. 701)

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 then in this case 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 Ibdt in
this case, not reminding him of his fast is better. (Bar-e-Sharat,
vol. 1, pp. 981)

6. If someone recites the Holy Quran incorrectly, it is Wjib on


the listener to let him know of his mistake provided that there

Miraculous Wonders of Sayyiduna Ali 77

is no jealousy or envy that could be created. Similarly, if you


have borrowed ones Quran for some time 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)

Question 16: Allah      has said in the Glorious Quran:

  
And worship not besides Allah. V PQ
4   , '  x F 
[Kanz-ul-mn (Translation of Quran)] (Part 11, Sra Ynus, Verse 106)

Through this verse, it is known that calling another god other than
Allah is Shirk.
 
Answer: In this verse V PQ
4  , ' i.e. calling another god other than
Allah is forbidden. Here it means idols and calling means worship.
(Tafsr abar, vol. 2, pp. 618) Al arat Imm Amad Raz Khn
>,  + , (  ) has translated the abovementioned verse as follows: And

worship not besides Allah and another verse supports this meaning,
for instance, Allah      has said:

    <       
1 n F

F   E
$;
V PQ
Y x F 
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)

www.dawateislami.net
Miraculous Wonders of Sayyiduna Ali 78

According to the above, it is confirmed that calling others (other


than God) considering them as god is indeed Shirk because it is an
act of worship of other than Allah. (For further details, please read

Question 17: Unbelievers seek help from idols and you seek help
from the Anbiy and Awliy (saints of Islam). Are you both not the
same in committing Shirk (polytheism)?

Answer: T !U , 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 intercessors
and mediators, when in fact idols are not so.       6 2 7 ! We Muslims
never ever consider anyone as worthy of worship even the Most
Beloved Prophet -      )*  !" & 0
 /  can never be taken as worthy of
worship. We believe that all the Prophets #A @   ) and Awliy are
 
the servants of Almighty Allah      and do consider them as our
intercessors, mediators 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 Shaykh Muft Ahmad Yr Khn  %2  + 2 1 (  ) 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
gods and declare them as worthy of worship. In other words, they

www.dawateislami.net
Miraculous Wonders of Sayyiduna Ali 79

faithfully believe that idols are Allahs bondsmen/servant as well as


His partner in worship. (J Al-aq, pp. 171)

The 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) of Allah      and this is the worst kind of Kufr (unbelief).
Besides this, any act of Kufr, however severe it is, cannot be genuinely
Shirk. (Bar-e-Sharat, vol. 1, pp. 183)

Al arat Imm Amad Raz Khn >,   + ,  (  ) has said, A
person, in fact cannot be turned as a Mushrik (polytheist) 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 faith that the knowledge he possess is his own) and Wjib-
ul-Wujd (self-existent). (Fatw Razawiyya, vol. 21, pp. 131)

It is stated in Shar-e-Aqid: Shirk is to associate a partner with


the Ul-iyyat (Divinity) of Allah 
    , such as the Majs (fire
worshippers) believe that there is a Wjib-ul-Wujd other than Allah
or to believe that there is a (thing or person) worthy of worship other
than Allah such as the idol worshippers do.
