Excellence of Salat-‘Alan-Nabi ‫ﷺ‬

Sayyiduna Abul Muzaffar Muhammad Bin ‘Abdullah
Khayyam Samarqandi % & ' ( has stated: One day, when
going somewhere I got lost on the way. Suddenly, I saw a
person who asked me to follow him. I did as was asked. I
thought to myself that he was Sayyiduna Khidar )* + .
When asked, he replied that his name was Khidar. With him
was another great noble person. I asked his name, and
Sayyiduna Khidar )* + replied that he was Ilyas )* . I

said, ‘May Allah ! " # bless you! Have both of you ever seen the
Revered and Renowned Prophet , # ٖ .# % / 0 . They replied in
the positive.
I said, ‘Please tell me some Hadith you have heard from the
1
Beloved and Blessed Prophet , # ٖ .# % / 0 so that I can
narrate it to others from you.’ They replied that they had heard
the Noble Prophet , # ٖ .# % / 0 say, ‘The heart of the one

The greatness of a lover of the Holy Quran

Sayyiduna Shaykh Saabit Bunaani % & '
( used to complete
the recitation of the Holy Quran once every day. He % & ' (
would always observe fast during the day and offer Nafl Salah
throughout the night. He would always offer 2 Rak’at of
Nafl Salah (i.e. Tahiyya-tul-Masjid) in every Masjid he passed
by. Revealing the blessings bestowed upon him, he says, ‘I have
completed the recitation of the entire Holy Quran and I have
wept in the court of my Lord ! " # next to each and every pillar
of the Jami’ Masjid.’
He % & '

( had exceptional love for Salah and for the
recitation of the Holy Quran, and the extent of the blessings
upon him is coveted. Consequently, after his passing
away, during the burial suddenly a brick slipped and fell into the
grave. When some people leaned in to pick up the brick they
2
were amazed to see that the Shaykh % & '
( was standing in
his grave and offering his Salah! When his family members
were asked about that, his respected daughter said: My
honourable father would make the following supplication
every day, ‘O Allah ! " # ! If you grant anybody the blessing of
offering Salah in his grave after death, then bestow this honour
upon me.’
It is reported that whenever people would pass close by the

blessed tomb of the Shaykh % & '
( , they would hear the
sound of Quranic recitation. (Hilya-tul-Awliya, vol. 2, pp. 362-366,
selected)
May Allah Almighty have mercy upon him and for his sake,
may we be forgiven without accountability.

equivalent to ten virtues. I am not saying that ‘‫ٓــﻢ‬ ّٓ ‫ ’اﻟ‬is one letter;

Beloved and Blessed Prophet , # ٖ .# % / 0 has stated, ‘Allah

Du’a [supplication].’ (Mustadrak, vol. 2, p. 268, Hadith 2110)

stated, ‘Whosever recites the last two verses of Surah Al-
Baqarah at night, these will suffice him.’ (Bukhari, vol. 3, p.

Dear Islamic brothers! These two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah

being sufficient means that the recitation of these verses will be
equivalent to his spending the night in worship or these will
protect him from Shaytan during that night. According to one
opinion, they will protect him from calamities which will
descend during that night. (Fath-ul-Baari, vol. 10, p. 48)

The Messenger (Muhammad) believed in whatever has been sent
down to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. All have
believed in Allah, and His angels, and His Books and His
Messengers; declaring this; that, ‘We do not differentiate in
believing in any of His Messengers,’ and they submitted that, ‘We
heard and obeyed. Your forgiveness be granted (to us), O our Lord!
And towards only You is (our) return.’ Allah does not place a
burden upon any soul, except to the extent of its strength; beneficial
for it is the goodness it earned, and harmful for it is the evil it
earned. ‘O our Lord, do not seize us if we forget or have made a
mistake. O our Lord, and do not place a heavy burden upon us as
You have placed upon those before us. O our Lord, and do not
place upon us a burden, for which we do not have the strength (to
bear). And pardon us, and forgive us, and have mercy upon us.
You are our Master, therefore, help us against the disbelievers.’

the earth.’ (Tafseer Durr-e-Mansoor, vol. 7, p. 690)
It is reported by Sayyiduna Jabir Bin ‘Abdullah 1 2
3. (
that the Beloved Prophet , # ٖ .# % / 0 went to the
blessed Sahabah 1 2
( and recited Surah Al-Rahmaan
from the beginning to the end, whilst they all remained
silent. The Holy Prophet , # ٖ .# % / 0 stated, ‘I am
16
observing an air of silence over you – when I recited this

very same Surah in front of the Jinns on the night of
meeting with them, they responded in an incredibly pleasing
and beautiful manner. Whenever I reached this verse:
ٰ
H¡YA # &ٰ ; Q . Q & e 8 : .P 0, they said: ‘ ; Qo .| & E o #ۡ - ex b¤£ ,¢ 8
ۡ
ۡ dT E0’ – meaning, ‘O our Rab ! " # ! We do not deny
anything from Your bounties, and all praise is due to You.’
(Tirmizi, vol. 5, p. 190, Hadith 3302; Tafseer Durr-e-Mansoor, vol. 7,
p. 690)
4. By reciting Surah Al-Rahmaan 11 times, problems are

resolved. In addition, to write this Surah and wash it (with
water) and thereafter make a patient suffering from disease
of the spleen drink its water is very beneficial. (Jannati Zaver,
p. 597)
Virtues of Surah Al-Waaqi’ah

1. This Surah is highly blessed. It is reported by Sayyiduna
ٖ
Anas 1 2 / 0
( that the Prophet of Allah , # .# % has
stated, ‘Surah Al-Waaqi’ah is the Surah of affluence (i.e.
prosperity), so recite it and teach it to your children.’ (Ruh-
ul-Ma’aani, vol. 7, p. 183)
Sayyiduna ‘Usman 1 2

2. ( visited Sayyiduna Ibn Mas’ood
1
2
( when he was on his death bed, and said to him,
17
‘Should I grant you something from the treasury; what do

you say?’ He replied, ‘There is no need for it.’
Sayyiduna ‘Usman 1 2

( then said, ‘It will be useful for
your daughters after you.’ Ibn Mas’ood 1 2
( replied,
‘You are afraid of my daughters falling into poverty and
hunger, but I have ordered them to recite Surah Al-
Waaqi’ah every night. I heard the Prophet of Allah / 0
, # ٖ .# % saying, ‘Whoever recites Surah Al-Waaqi’ah
every night will never be afflicted with poverty or hunger.’
(Tareekh Madinah-tul-Dimashq, vol. 33, p. 187, selected)
9 Virtues of Surah Al-Mulk

It is reported by Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah 1 2
1. ( that
the Beloved Prophet , # ٖ .# % / 0 has stated, ‘Without
doubt there is a Surah in the Holy Quran consisting of 30
verses, which will continue to intercede for its reciter until
ۡ ۡ ٰ
he is forgiven, and that Surah is E ¥ & :ۡ ; ¦.’ (Tirmizi,
vol. 4, p. 408, Hadith 2900)

2. 2
( that the Beloved

Prophet , # ٖ .# % 4 0
/ has stated, ‘There is one Surah in
the Noble Quran which will continue to argue for its
reciter until it will make him enter into Paradise, and that
Surah is Surah Al-Mulk.’ (Mu’jam-e-Awsat, vol. 2, p. 401, Hadith
3654, selected)
18
Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Ibn-e-Mas’ood 1 2

3. ( has stated,
‘When a person goes into his grave, torment comes
towards him from the direction of his feet. His feet will
say, ‘There is no path for you from my side because this
person used to recite Surah Al-Mulk at night.’ Then the
torment will come towards him from the direction of his
chest or stomach. His chest or stomach will say, ‘There is no
path for you from my side because this person used to recite
Surah Al-Mulk at night.’ Then the torment will come
towards him from the direction of his head. The head will
then say, ‘There is no path for you to come from my side
because this person used to recite Surah Al-Mulk at night.’
So this Surah is a shield, as it shields a person from the
punishment of the grave. In the Tawrat [Torah] its name
is Surah Al-Mulk, and whoever recites it at night performs an
exceedingly pious action. (Mustadrak, vol. 3, p. 322, Hadith 3892)
4. ( has stated that a
companion of the Noble Prophet , # ٖ . # % 4 0
/ once
pegged a tent upon a grave but he was unaware that it was
the site of a grave. However, later on he found that it was
the grave of a person who was reciting Surah Al-Mulk
until he completed the entire Surah. That companion
went to the court of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet 4 0
/
ٖ ٖ
, # .# % and said, ‘Ya Rasoolallah , # .# % 4 0
/ ! I

inadvertently set up a tent over a grave. Suddenly, I
realised that it was a grave and in it is a person who is
19
reciting Surah Al-Mulk until he completed the whole

Surah.’
Then the Prophet of Allah , # ٖ .# % 4 / 0 said, ‘This Surah
prevents the punishment of the grave and grants salvation
from it.’ (Tirmizi, vol. 4, p. 407, Hadith 2899)
5. The Holy Prophet , # ٖ .# % 4 0
/ has stated, ‘It is my wish
ۡ ۡ ٰ
that E ¥ & :ۡ ; ¦ [i.e. Surah Al-Mulk] be in the heart of
every believer.’ (Mustadrak, vol. 2, p. 273, Hadith 2120)
6. If this Surah is recited after the sighting of the moon, the
reciter will remain secured from hardships for all
30 days of the month because this consists of 30 verses,
and these suffice for 30 days. (Tafseer Ruh-ul-Ma’aani, vol. 29, p. 6)
7. ( reported that the
Beloved and Blessed Prophet , # ٖ .# % 4 0
/ has stated,
‘Without doubt I see a Surah in the Holy Quran consisting
of 30 verses; whoever recites this (Surah) at night, 30 good
deeds will be written for him, 30 of his bad deeds will be
erased, and his rank will be raised by 30 grades. Allah
! " # will send an angel towards him so that it can spread
its wings over him and protect him from everything until
his waking. This [Surah] is one which does Mujadalah (i.e.
argues) and in the grave it will argue for the forgiveness of
ۡ ۡ ٰ
its reciter; and this Surah is E ¥ & :ۡ ; ¦.’ (Tafseer Durr-e-
20
8. The Holy Prophet , # ٖ .# % 4 0

/ would recite Surah Al-
Mulk and Surah As-Sajdah before resting at night. (Tafseer
Ruh-ul-Bayan, vol. 10, p. 98)

9. 2 ( once said to somebody,
‘Shall I not give you a Hadith as a gift, with which you will
be happy?’ The person replied, ‘Certainly!’ So he 1 4
2
(
ۡ ۡ ٰ
said, ‘Recite this Surah E ¥ & :ۡ ; ¦ and teach this Surah
to your family members, to all your children, to the
children of your house, and to your neighbours because it
is a means of salvation and on the Day of Judgement it
will argue for its reciter in the court of its Lord. It will
search out its reciter so that it can save him from the
punishment of the Hellfire and because of this Surah, its
reciter will succeed in gaining salvation from
punishment.’ (Tafseer Durr-e-Mansoor, vol. 8, p. 231)
Horrific scene of the grave!

Once Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen, Sayyiduna ‘Ali 1 2
( went to a
cemetery in Kufa to visit graves. Seeing a newly-prepared
grave, he 1 2
( desired to get to know of its internal state, so
he 1 2
( implored humbly, ‘Ya Allah ! " # reveal to me the
condition of the deceased buried in this grave.’ Immediately,
all the veils between him and the deceased were lifted. What he
saw was a horrific scene; the deceased was being burnt in fire
21
and screaming out for help from Sayyiduna ‘Ali 1
2

( ! !َُِّ ‫َﻳﺎ‬

ِ ‫ﺎر َو َﺣ ِﺮ ْﻳ ٌﻖ ِﰱ اﻟ َّﻨ‬
‫ﺎر‬ ِ ‫ ا َﻧَﺎ ﻏ َِﺮ ْﻳ ٌﻖ ِﰱ اﻟ َّﻨ‬O Ali 1 2
( !I am drowned in fire
and I am burning in fire. The dreadful scene of the grave and
the screams of the deceased person saddened Sayyiduna ‘Ali
1
2
( . He lifted his hands in the court of his Merciful Allah
! " # and began to pray with utmost humility for the
forgiveness of the deceased. A voice from the unseen echoed,
‘O ‘Ali! Do not intercede for him as he used to disrespect
Ramadan despite fasting, he did not refrain from committing
sins even in Ramadan, he used to fast during the day but would
indulge in sins at night.’ Listening to this voice, Sayyiduna ‘Ali
1
2
( became even more sad; he 1 2
( prostrated and
began to cry. (With tears in his eyes) he said, ‘Ya Allah ! " # !
Please accept my supplication, this man has called out to me
for help with high hopes, O Creator! Do not disappoint me in
front of him, have mercy on him and forgive this helpless
man.’ Sayyiduna ‘Ali 1 2
( continued to pray in the court of
Allah ! " # . He then heard a voice say, ‘O ‘Ali 1 2
( ! We
have forgiven him for the sake of your grieved heart.’ The man
was then relieved of punishment. (Anees-ul-Wa’iẓeen, p. 25)
Kyun na mushkil kusha kahon tum ko

Tum nay bigri mayri banayi hay
Those people who despite fasting , do not refrain from evil
activities such as playing cards, chess, ludo, playing video
games, watching films and dramas and listening to music and
22
songs on the mobile and IPad etc., shaving the beard or

reducing it less than a fistful, missing Jama’at without a valid
Shar’i reason, rather 5 missing Salah altogether, lying,
backbiting, tale telling, bad assumption, breaking promises,
swearing, hurting Muslims without the permission of Shari’ah,
begging despite not having the right to do so, disobeying
parents, taking and giving interest, deceiving while conducting
business etc. even in the blessed month of Ramadan, the
previous story is full of admonition for them.
Those who do not abstain from sins in the blessed month of

Ramadan should study two further blessed Ahadith and
frighten themselves regarding the displeasure of Allah ! " # .
1. Whoever committed any sin in Ramadan, Allah Almighty

will destroy one year of his (good) actions. (Mu’jam-e-Awsat,
vol. 2, p. 414, Hadith 3688, summarised)
2. My Ummah will not be disgraced as long as it fulfils the

rights of Ramadan.’ He was asked as to what was meant
by the disgrace of the Ummah in wasting the right of
Ramadan, he , # ٖ .# % / 0 replied, ‘Committing Haraam
(acts) in this month.’ He further stated, ‘If anyone
fornicates or drinks alcohol in this month Allah ! " # and
all His angels curse him, if he dies before the next
Ramadan he will not have a single virtue to save him from
the fire of Hell. So fear (Allah ! " # ) concerning Ramadan.
Just as the reward of good deeds is increased in this
23
month compared to other months, the severity of sins also

increases.’ (Mu’jam Sagheer, vol. 9, p. 60, Hadith 1488)
Dear Islamic brothers! Be fearful! Ensure that you refrain

from belittling Ramadan at all costs. We should not despair
from the mercy of Allah ! " # , the doors of mercy are opened.
Seek forgiveness whilst beseeching and refrain from sins. To
become pious and an adherent of the Sunnah, make it a habit
to participate in the gatherings of Dawat-e-Islami and travel in
the Madani Qafilahs in the company of the devotees of the
Prophet.
