Aqida

One who rejects the issue of accountability and reckoning is a kaafir. There will be those whom Almighty Allah will question in privacy and they will accept all their wrongs and fear the judgment of Allah. Allah will say, 'I hid your sins whilst you were on earth, and now I am forgiving you.' Some people will be questioned with much firmness and those who are questioned in this manner will have their fate sealed. He will ask some, 'Did I not bless you with respect and dignity? Did I not make you a leader amongst your people? Did I not give in your property, horses and camels? With the exception of these Almighty Allah will remind them of various other bounties which He bestowed upon them. They will answer in the positive, saying that it is true that Almighty Allah had blessed them with everything. Allah will say, 'Did you know that you were to meet with me?' and they will answer negatively. Almighty Allah will say, 'Then just as you did not remember me, We too shall leave you trapped in this punishment.'

When Almighty Allah will remind some of the kaafirs about His bounties and He questions them about what they did, then they will say that they brought Imaan in Allah, His Books, and His Prophets. They will claim to have established Namaaz and Fasting. They will also say that they gave Sadqa and did various other good
deeds. Almighty Allah will then silence them and bring witnesses unto what they have said. These people will be confused about who will be brought as witnesses against them. A seal will be placed onto their mouths and the rest of their body will be commanded to testify. Their thighs, flesh, bones, hands and feet etc. will
testify against him and the truth will be heard, and they will be thrown into the dungeons of hell. The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said, 'Seventy thousand people from my Ummat will enter Jannat without reckoning and through their blessings, another seventy thousand will enter Jannat with each one of them and Almighty Allah will send another three Jamaats into Paradise with them. It is not known concerning how many persons will make up each jamaat. Allah knows the number of people in each Jamaat. All those who performed Tahajjud will be allowed to enter Paradise without reckoning. In this Ummah, there will also be such a person, whose ninety nine journals will be of sins and each journal will be as far as the eye can see. All these books will be opened and Almighty Allah will ask him if he has any complaint about any of the deeds that have been presented. Allah will ask if Kiraaman Kaatibeen (Angels who write our deeds) are justified in what they wrote. He will answer by saying that all that has been written is the truth. Almighty Allah will ask if he has any excuse and he will say that he does not have excuse for his sins. Almighty Allah will say, 'Your one good deed is present with Us. Today, you will not be treated unjustly.' A piece of paper will be presented on which will be written 'Ash Hadu An Laa ilaaha ilal laah wa Ash Hadu An'na Muhammadan Abduhoo Wa Rasooluhu' and Almighty Allah will command for it to be weighed. He will say that this one piece of paper is nothing compared to all his bad deeds, and Almighty Allah will again tell him that
he will not be treated unjustly. Then, all his journals of bad deeds will be placed on one end of the scale and the piece of paper will be placed on the other end of the scale. That piece of paper will weigh more than all his journals of bad deeds. There is no limit to the Mercy of Almighty Allah. Through His Mercy, little things
may become vast. 

Aqida

Reckoning on the last day is the truth. We are definitely going to be accountable for our deeds.

Aqida

If a person's body has been disintegrated, decayed or even devoured by animals; Almighty Allah will gather all of this and raise the body again. On the day of Qiyaamat, people will emerge from their graves without shoes or clothes and uncircumcised. Some people will be on foot whilst others will be on animals. Some will be alone on an animal; others will be two, three, four, five right up to ten persons per animal. The Kaafirs will go towards the Plains of Resurrection walking on their faces. Some will be dragged towards the Plains by Angels whilst others will be engulfed by fire.

The Plains of Resurrection will be established in Syria. The ground will be made so flat, that if a mustard seed were placed on the opposite end, it would be visible. On this Day of Judgment, the earth will be made of copper and the sun will be only one mile away from the earth. The narrator of the Hadith states, 'It is not known whether one mile (in this case) refers to the stick used in a surma or the normal distance of a mile." Even if it refers to a mile, then it is obvious how intense the heat of the sun will be on that day. Presently, the sun is four thousand years distance away from the earth and the rear of the sun is facing us now whilst on the day of Qiyaamat the sun will face us. When the sun is at its peak on a normal summer's day, it becomes even difficult to go outside. Imagine the intensity of the sun, when it will be only one mile over our heads. Now, the
ground is made of sand and we have shoes etc. to wear. On the day of reckoning, the ground will be of copper and we will be bare feet. There is none that can explain the intensity of the heat at that time. May Almighty Allah protect us.

It will be a time when our brains will boil and we will perspire to such an extent that the perspiration will seep seventy yards into the earth. When the earth can not take in anymore perspiration, the perspiration will rise above the ground. Some will be in perspiration up to their ankles, some up to their knees, some up
to their waist, some up to their chest, and some up to their necks. The Kaafirs will be drowning in their own perspiration up to their mouths just as the reigns of a horse are placed in its mouth. Thirst will be so severe, that we can not really explain it. The tongue will become so dry, that it will feel like thorns. The tongues
of some will be hanging out of their mouths. The heart will boil and come into the throat.

Every person will be in hardship as per his or her sins. If a person did not give his zakaat properly, then gold and silver will be melted. This will be used to brand him on his side, back and forehead. If a person did not give Zakaat on his livestock, then these animals will brought on the day of Qiyaamat. They will be made strong and healthy. He will be made to lie on the hot ground and the animals will run over him stampeding him and piercing him with their horns. When they run over him once, they will return from the opposite direction doing exactly the same thing. This stampeding will continue until the reckoning of the people comes to an end.

With all these hardships taking place, none will be thinking of the other. Brothers will run away from their brothers. Parents will release themselves from their children. A person's wife and children will run far away from him. Every one will be in caught up in his own punishment. None will be able to be of assistant to any one else.

Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) will be commanded to separate the Jahanamis (dwellers of hell) from the Jannatis (dwellers of paradise). He will ask, How many from how many? And the reply will be, 'Nine hundred and ninety nine (go to hell) from every thousand.' This will be such a time, that due to sadness, children will become old. Women carrying children will miscarry. It will seem as if every one is intoxicated (This will be due to their immense fear and sadness), even though they will not be intoxicated in reality.

The Punishment commanded by Allah is very intense. I am not sure of which of the hardships to explain. If there were one or two, or even one hundred or thousand, I would be able to explain them, but on the day of Qiyaamat, there will be numerous hardships that we will face, and all that we can really do, is ask for salvation. These hardships will not last just for a few hours, days or months, but for the entire day of Qiyaamat, which will be equivalent to fifty thousand years.

After almost half the day passes, and the people find themselves in the same frightening position, they will consult with one another and decide that they need to find someone to intercede on their behalf. They will finally decide to present themselves in the court of Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam), because he is the father of all humans and Almighty Allah created him with His Dast-e-Qudrat and blessed him with a place to live in Jannat, and gave him the great gift of Nabuiwat. After much difficulty, they will find their way to Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam). They will say, 'O Adam (alaihis salaam)! You are the father of all humans. Almighty Allah created you with His Dast-e-Qudrat and He entered a chosen soul into you. He commanded the Angels to prostrate before you and He kept you in Holy Paradise. He blessed you with the knowledge of the names of all things. Almighty Allah has also made you 'Safee' (His Chosen Friend). Please have mercy on our pitiful condition and intercede on our behalf, so that Almighty Allah releases us from this punishment and torment. Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) will say, 'This is not my position (to intercede). Today I am in thought
about my own position.' He will say that the Wrath of Allah is so intense, that never has it been seen in this intensity before and never will it be seen again. He will ask them to go to another. They will ask about where they should go and he will recommend them to go to Hazrat Nooh (alaihis salaam) as he is the first Rasool whom Almighty Allah sent on earth for the guidance of a nation.

The people will then go to Hazrat Nooh (alaihis salaam) and they will praise his excellence. They will then ask him to intercede on their behalf. Here too, they will receive the same answer. He will then send them to Hazrat Ibraheem (alaihis salaam) as Allah had blessed him with being His "Khaleel" They will go to Hazrat Ibraheem (alaihis salaam) and he too will give the same answer. In brief, they will then go to Hazrat Moosa (alaihis salaam) who will in turn send them to Hazrat Esa (alaihis salaam). He too will tell them that it is not within his power to intercede on this day. He will ask them to go to him, in whose hands Allah has given the authority of intercession, and who is without any fear even on this frightful day. He will ask them to go towards the leader of all the children of Adam (alaihis salaam). He will send them towards Khatimun Nabiyeen Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), saying that it is he who has the authority of intercession. The people will go around in circles looking for the beloved Rasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) until finally they find him. They will say, 'O Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)! Almighty Allah has blessed you with the power to open the doors of intercession. They will praise the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in the best manner possible and beg his assistance. The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) will answer by saying, "I am for this reason. I am the one for whom you have been searching all over." The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) will then enter into Sajdah and intercede on our behalf. Almighty Allah will say, 'O Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)! Lift up your head (from sajdah) and say whatever you wish to say and it will be heard. Ask whatever you desire and it will be fulfilled and intercede, for your intercession is accepted. In another narration, it has been mentioned, "Ask and it will be complied with."

The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) will then intercede and every person will be interceded for including a person who has Imaan equal to a mustard seed in his heart. Huzoor (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) will even remove such persons from hell, who accepted Islam with a sincere heart and but not do any good deeds, the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) will even remove him from hell. All the other Prophets will then be allowed to intercede for the Ummats. The Awliyah Allah, Shaheeds, Ulama, Hufaaz, Hajees, and every person who has been blessed with some religious status, will be allowed to intercede for their relatives and friends. Some people will go to the Ulama and remind them that they had given them water for wudhu on certain occasions and clay pieces to answer the call of nature. The Ulama will even intercede for these people.

Aqida

Qiyaamat will definitely be established. One who rejects this, is a kaafir.

AALAM-E-BARZAKH

There is another world or domain between this world and the hereafter, which is called Barzakh. After death and before Qiyaamat all the humans and jins have to live therein as per their status. Barzakh is much bigger than this earth. The comparison between this world and Barzakh is like the womb of the mother compared to the earth. In it, there is comfort for some and hardships for others.

Aqida

The Questions of the grave will be asked to a person wherever he lies and it is there that he will receive either reward or punishment. In other words, if a person was eaten by a lion, then the questions shall be asked to him in the belly of the lion and his reward and punishment too will take place in the belly of the lion.

Mas'ala (Law): The sand does not devour (eat) the bodies of the Prophets, Awliyah Allah, The Ulama, martyrs (shuhada), Hafizul Quraan who acted in accordance with the commands of the Quran, the one who is on a level of true love, one who never disobeyed Allah and one who spent his time in reciting Durood Shareef. Any person who says that the Nabis "Are dead and mixed in the sand" is a corrupt and mislead person and worthy or the punishment for blasphemy.

Aqida

The Punishment of the grave and reward in the grave are both Haq (A Reality). Just as we have mentioned earlier whilst explaining this topic that punishment or reward is for both the body and the soul. Even if the body, is burnt, disintegrated or turned to dust, its original particles shall still remain in existence. All the pain and comfort will be through these particles and on the day of Qiyaamat, the physical body shall be raised again through these particles. These are minute particles, which are found in the spinal column. These particles are known as "Ajabuz Zamb" These particles are so small, that they can not even be seen through a microscope neither can they be destroyed by fire, nor can they be eroded by the earth. These particles are the in reality the seeds of the physical body. The souls will thus be re-entered into the original bodies on the day of Qiyaamat. This change or lessening does not change the human body in any way.

A perfect example of this, is a child, who is so small at birth, yet the child grows so quickly into an adult. Another example is that of a strong muscular youth who becomes weak and feeble due to illness. After recovering from an illness, the same youth becomes strong and healthy again. After all this ocurring, it can never be said that the person has changed in any way. The situation on the day of Qiyaamat is thus very similar. If a body has been disintegrated and the bones and flesh have turned to dust, no matter where ever its particles may be, Almighty Allah will gather all of it and bring it back into being from its original particles which do not disintegrate. This is known as "Hashr" (The Resurrection). One who rejects the punishment and rewards of the grave, is a mislead person.

Aqida

When the people leave after burying the deceased, he hears the sounds of their footsteps. At this time, two Angels appear to him, tearing the earth with their teeth. They look very fierce and frightful. They have black bodies and huge blackish blue eyes, which are as huge as pots (Degs) and blazing like fire. They have long mattered hair and their teeth are of many hand lengths, with which they tear open the ground as they come towards the deceased. One of them is called 'Munkir' and the other is called 'Nakeer'. They wake the deceased by jolting him and shaking him vigorously, questioning him in a very harsh voice. The first question they ask is 'Mun Rab'buka?' Who is Your Rabb (Lord)? The second question is 'Maa Deenuka' what is Your Religion? And the third question is, 'Ma Kunta Ta Qooolu fi Haazar Rajul' what did you used to say about thisperson (whilst you were alive)? If the deceased is a Muslim, then he will answer by saying Rabbi' Allah (Allah is my Rubb) to the first question, Deeniyal Islam (Islam is my Religion) to the second question and Huwa Rasoolullahi sallal laahu alaihi wasallam (He is the beloved Rasool sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) to the third question.

The Angels will ask about who informed him of these answers and He will say, ' I read the Book of Allah and brought faith on it and confirmed this.' It has appeared in some narrations, that after the questions and answer are completed, the Angels shall say, 'We knew that you were going to say what you have said' then
a voice will call out from the sky, saying, 'My servant has spoken the truth. Lay down the bedding of Jannat for him, dress him in the garb of Jannat and open for him door of Jannat.' The cool and fragrant breeze of paradise will flow into his grave, and his grave will be extended for as far as his eyes can see and it will be
said to him, 'Sleep like a bridegroom sleeps' This is a privilege which shall be awarded to the chosen servants and for the general people, this is for whom it is willed. Otherwise, the expanding of the grave will vary for each person, depending on his religious status. For some the grave will be expanded up to seventy hands lengths and for some, for as much as they wish. Some of the Muslims will also receive punishment in their graves, then through the intercession of their Peers (Mashaa'ikh), the Imams of the Mazhab and the Awliyah Allah, Almighty Allah will accept this intercession through His Mercy and they shall be spared from the torment of the grave. Some have stated that the torment of the grave for a believer who was sinner is only until the eve of a Friday. When this time arrives, then the Azaab (punishment) is removed (and Allah Knows). It is however evident from the Hadith, that any believer who passes away on the eve of a Friday, or on a Friday, or in the month of Ramadaan, then he is spared from the questioning of the grave and from the punishment of the grave. It has also been mentioned that a window of Jannat shall be opened for a believer, in this manner, that first the window of hell shall be opened for him from his left side through which he will experience the intense heat and foul odor of hell. It will then be closed immediately and the window of
Jannat shall be opened on his right, and it will be mentioned to him, 'If you had not answered the questions correctly, then that (hell) was for you. Now this, (Paradise) is for you. This shall be done, so that the deceased may acknowledge the Grace of his Rubb, that how He spared him from such calamity and blessed
him with such a great blessing. The procedure for the Munafiqs (hypocrites) will be totally opposite to the above mentioned procedure. First, the window of Jannat shall be opened for him, and he shall experience the fragrant breeze of Paradise and realise its beauty. It will then be immediately closed. This shall be
done, so that he may realise what a great bounty he has lost and how great a calamity he has been plunged into, for disrespecting and saying blasphemous words in the Court of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). If the deceased is a hypocrite, he will answer the questions of the grave by saying, 'Haa Haa Laa
Adree' unfortunately, I do not know anything' He will then say, 'I used to hear the people say this and I too used to say the same.' Then, a voice will be heard from the skies, saying, 'He is a liar. Lay down for him the bed of fire and dress him the garb of fire, and open for him a door of Hell. He will feel the intensity of the heat and two Angels shall be appointed to deal out punishment to him, who will not have the ability to hear or see and in their hands, they will have a with them a powerful metal rod. The force of this rod will be such that if it were struck on a mountain, then the mountain would turn to dust. They will beat him severely with this rod. Snakes and scorpions will also dispense punishment to him by constantly biting and stinging him. Even his evil deeds shall be transformed into vicious dogs, wolves and other forms. These too shall punish and torment him. The good deeds of a person shall take a pleasant form and give him immense comfort.

Aqida

When the deceased is laid to rest in his grave, the grave presses him. If he is a Muslim, then it is like when a mother hugs her child very tightly with love. If he is a Kaafir then the grave presses him with such force, that his ribs from the right shoot out from the left and the ribs from the left shoot out from the right.

Aqida

The dead person also talks, but with the exception of the general humans and jins, all the other animals etc hear this.

Aqida

Death refers to the separation of the soul from the body. It does not mean the destruction of the soul. One who believes that the soul is destroyed is a Bud Mazhab (mislead corrupt person).

Aqida

To believe that after death the soul goes into another body or into the body of animal (re-incarnation) is totally baseless and Kufr.

Aqida

After death and according to one's religious excellence, the souls of the believers live in various places. Some on their graves, some near the well of Zam Zam, some between the skies and the earths, some in the first, second upto the seventh skies, and some even more higher than this. Some of the souls remain under the Arsh of Allah in lanterns of light and some of them in Alal Aliyain (exalted place). No matter where the soul may be, it keeps continuous connection with the body. It recognizes those who come to the grave and sees
them. It even hears their words. The seeing of the soul is not restricted to closeness of the grave. The example of this has been explained in the following manner in the Hadith: 'It is like a bird that was kept in a cage and has now been set free.' The Great Imams have stated, 'Verily when pure souls leave their bodies they connect with the exalted world and they see everything and hear everything like they are present here.' It is in the Hadith Shareef, 'When a Muslim passes away, his path is opened. He may go where ever he desires.' Hazrat Shah Abdul Aziz (radi Allahu anhu) writes, 'The Soul sees far and near alike'. Some of the cursed souls of the Kaafirs remain on their cremation area or on their graves, Some in Chaah-e-Barhoot, which is a canal in Yemen. Some of them are in the first, second and third earths, right up to the seventh earth and some even below this in a place called "Sijjeen". Even their souls, no matter wherever they are, they see, hear and know what is occurring, but they can not go where they desire for they are imprisoned where ever they are.

Aqida

Even after death the soul is in contact with the body of humans. Even though the soul leaves the body, the soul knows and feels everything that happens to the body, just as it was when it was alive and on earth. Actually it feels and knows everything even more than before. On earth, it is the body which receives cold water, cool wind, good food and all other good things, but it is the soul which receives comfort through this. Even if the body feels pain etc. the soul experiences this. The soul also has its own sensations, through which it feels happiness or sadness. The exact same things continue to occur in Barzakh.

Aqida

Every person has a set lifespan on earth. It can not be increased or decreased. When the time of his life comes to an end, then Hazrat Izraeel (alaihis salaam) comes to remove his soul. The person sees on his left and right Angels for as far as his eyes can see. Angels of mercy come close to believers and Angels of Azaab (punishment) stand on the left and right of Kaafirs. At this moment, the reality of Islam becomes as evident as the bright shining sun to every person (on his deathbed), but to accept Imaan at this time is not acceptable, because the command of Imaan is to accept without seeing, and now everything is apparent and not unseen anymore.

Jinns

They are created from fire. Some from amongst them have been given the power to take whichever form they wish. Their life spans are very lengthy. The mischievous ones amongst them are called Shaitaan. Like humans, they have intelligence, souls and bodies. They even have children. They eat, drink, live and die.

Aqida

To reject their existence or to say that Shaitaan or Jin only refers to the power of bad is Kufr. To say that there is no such thing as Jin or shaitaan. It is just the power of bad and nothing else is improper.

Aqida

There are also Muslims and Kaafirs amongst them, but in comparison to humans, their kaafirs are much more in number. Amongst their Muslims, there are those who are pious and those who are sinners. They even have Sunni and non-Sunni (Bad Mazhab) amongst them. The number of Faasiqs (open sinners) amongst them is more than that amongst humans.

The Angels

Angels are created from Noor (light). Almighty Allah has blessed them with the ability to take whatever form they wish. They sometimes come in the form of humans and sometimes in other forms.

Aqida

To reject the existence of Angels by saying that Angels only refer to the power of good and nothing else is wrong. These are words of Kufr.

Aqida

The slightest disrespect towards any Angel is Kufr. Some ignorant people have the habit of referring to their enemies as Malakul Mout (Angel of Death) or Izraeel. These are close to words of Kufr.

Aqida

Their number is only known to Him who created them (Allah), and through his informing, His Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) knows. Four Angels are most famous: Hazrat Jibraeel, Mikaeel, Israfeel and Izraeel (alaihimus salaam). They are superior over all the other Angels.

Aqida

To accept them to be Qadeem (uncreated) or say them to be the Creator is Kufr.

Aqida

Angels are neither male nor female.

Aqida

They have been given various duties. Some of them take revelation to the Prophets, some of them are responsible for causing rain, some of them are in charge of the wind, some of them are in charge of delivering sustenance, some of them are responsible for molding the form of the child in the womb of the mother, some are responsible for possessions in the human body, some protect humans against their enemies, some of them are responsible for looking for gatherings of those who make Zikr and to present themselves in it, some write
the deeds of the humans, many of them have the responsibility of being present in the Darbaar of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), some of them are given the duty of carrying the Salutations of the people to the Court of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), some are responsible for questioning the dead, removing the soul, giving punishment and blowing the Soor (Horn shaped instrument on the Day of Qiyaamat). With the exception of these duties, there are various other duties given to the Angels.

Aqida

They do only that which is the command of Allah. They do not act
contrary to the command of Allah either intentionally, unintentionally or by error.
They are the Masoom servants of Allah. They are free from all major and minor
sins.

Aqida

Huzoor (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was the first to be blessed with the status of Nabuiwat. On the Day of Meethaq (Covenant), all the Prophets took an oath to bring faith in him and assist him, and it was on this condition, that they too were blessed with Nabuiwat. The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the
Nabi of all the Nabis and all the Ambia are the Ummati of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Each one of them in their era worked under the command of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as his deputies. Almighty Allah made the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) the manifestation of His Zaat (Being), and He brightened the entire universe through the Noor (light) of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), in this sense that Huzoor (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is everywhere.

Aqida

Huzoor (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the "Absolute Representative" of Almighty Allah. The entire universe has been given in the possession of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). He may do as he pleases and he may give whatever he pleases to whomsoever he pleases and he may take whatever he pleases from whomsoever he pleases. There is nobody in the universe that can overturn his command. The entire universe is under his command and he (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is only under the command of Almighty Allah and none other. He is the Master of all the people. The entire Jannat is his property. The Angels, skies and earths are all under his command. The keys to Jannat and Jahanum have been given in his blessed hands. Sustenance and all good things are distributed through his exalted Court. The world and the hereafter is one
portion of his blessings. The authority of the Shariah has been given in the control of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), that he may make Haraam anything upon whom he pleases and make halaal anything upon whom he pleases, and he may excuse one from any obligation that he pleases to.

Aqida

Any person who looks at any saying, action, practice or condition of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) with the slightest contempt, is a Kaafir.

Aqida

To respect and revere the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) now should be in the same manner as when he was physically on this earth before the eyes of the people. This is a great Obligation upon us. When listening to the blessed name of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), we should do so with great sincerity and honour. We must recite the Durood on hearing his blessed name as this is Waajib (compulsory) "Allahuma Salle Alaa Sayyidina Wa Maulana Muhammadin Ma'dinil Joodi wal Karami Wa Aalihil Ikraam Wa Sahbihil Izaam wa Baarik Wa Sallim" The true sign of love for the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is to make his zikr (remembrance) him in abundance. Recite Durood Shareef in abundance and when writing his blessed name, always right (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Some people write s.a.w etc in short for (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam). This is not permissible and is Haraam. It is also a sign of love and faith, to love the blessed family of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), His companions, The Muhajireen, The Ansaar and all those who are associated to them. It is also a sign of love, to have enmity for the enemies of the
Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) even though he may be your father, son, brother or from your tribe. One who does not do so, is false in his claim that he loves the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Are you not aware of the fact that the Sahaba-e-Kiraam left the elders, relatives and homes for the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). How is it possible to love the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and at the same time have love for his enemies? Since two things that are opposed to each other can never be gathered together you have to choose one of the two. You can either choose to attain Jannat or go towards Jahanum. The sign of true love is this, that the words that you use in the court of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) should be adorned with respect and dignity. You should never use such a word that has even the slightest sign of disrespect in it. Never use his name when addressing the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as this is not permissible. Always say, Yaa Nabi Allah, Yaa Rasoolallah, Yaa Habeeballah. If you ever have the opportunity of being present in Madinah Shareef, then stand four hand lengths away from the Rauza-e-Paak with hands tied in great respect, like in Namaaz. Lower your head and send Salutations to the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Do not go to close (you may cause disrespect) and do not look around, and never ever raise your voice, for you will lose all the good which you have gathered in your entire life. It is also a sign of love, to ask from those who know, about the sayings, actions and all related things about the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), so that you may be able to act upon it.

Aqida

Respect for the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in other words to honor and revere him is part of Imaan and the basis of Imaan. After bringing Imaan, to respect the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the greatest fard from all fard. The importance of this can be gathered from this Hadith Shareef. 'On the return from The Battle of Khaibar, the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) prayed his Asr Salaah and lay down to rest on the lap of Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) at a place called Sahba. Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) had not yet prayed his Asr Salaah. He watched the sun setting and the time of Asr about to expire, but he did not move his lap, as he did not want to disturb the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), thinking that he may be having a dream (a Nabis dream is also revelation). Finally the sun had set. When Huzoor (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) woke, Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) explained what had happened. The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) commanded the sun to rise again and the sun rose from the west. Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) prayed his Asr Salaah and the sun then set.' This shows that Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) sacrificed his Asr Salaah which is the middle Salaah in the love of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), for he knew that even Ibaadat is through the blessing of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Another Hadith is in support of the first. 'In the Cave of Thaur, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (radi Allahu anhu) entered first and then tore his clothes and covered all the holes in the cave. One hole was still open, so he covered it with his toe. He then requested the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) to enter. The Prophet (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam) entered and rested on his lap. There was a snake in the cave which desired to see the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). It rubbed its head against the feet of t Hazrat Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu), but he did not move his foot, thinking that it would disturb the rest of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Finally the snake bit him on his toe. When Hazrat Abu Bakr's (radi Allahu anhu) tears fell on the blessed face of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), the he (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) woke. He explained what had happened. The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) applied his blessed saliva on the wound and this gave him comfort. Every year, after that, for twelve years, the poison caused relapse until it was the cause of his passing from this world.

Aqida

Obedience to the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is in reality obedience to Allah. Obedience to Allah is not possible without obedience to the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). If a person is in Fard Namaaz and the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) calls out to him, then he should immediately respond to the call of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and present himself in the Court of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and such a person is still in Namaaz, no matter for how long he is in the presence of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). There will be no interference in his Namaaz.

Aqida

If a person does not love the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) more
than his parents, children and the entire creation, then he can never be a Muslim.

Aqida

The station of Intercession has been already blessed to the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) says, "I have been blessed with (the station) of intercession. Almighty Allah says, "Ask forgiveness for the sins of your special ones and for the ordinary believing men and believing women." If this is not intercession then what is? Other points relating to intercession which will occur on the day of Qiyaamat will be discussed in topic on the hereafter.

Aqida

All levels of Shifa'at (intercession) have been proven for the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), be it Shifa'at bil Wajaahat, Shifa'at bil Muhabat or Shifa'at bil Izn. Only he will reject this, who is a mislead  person.

Aqida

The station of Shifa'at-e-Kubra (Greatest station of intercession) on the day of Qiyaamat has been given to the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Until the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) does not open the doors of intercession, none will have the authority to intercede. All those who wish to intercede, will all bring their cases in the court of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). It is only the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) who is an intercessor in the court of Allah. This Shifa'at-e-Kubra will be for all, in other words the believers, Kaafirs, obedient and the sinners. The reason for this is because all will be waiting for the reckoning to take place and they will be in great difficulty and torment and they will wish that they were taken and thrown into the dungeons of hell and that they may be freed from the waiting. It is on this basis, that all people from the beginning right upto the end, the followers, the believers, kaafirs and hypocrites will all praise the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). This station of Praise is called the "Maqaam-e-Mahmood". There are also other types of intercession, for example: Huzoor (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) will allow many to enter Jannat without any questioning. The amount of people that are known in this category is four Arab (one Arab is one hundred million) and ninety Karor (One Karor is 10 millions). This is an amount that we know. This will be even more than this, which is only known to Almighty Allah and His Rasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). There will be those whose reckoning would have taken place and they would be asked to go to hell. He (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) will intercede for them and free them from entering hell. He will intercede for some and will remove them from hell. He will elevate the positions of some and allow the punishment of many to be lessened.

Aqida

The entire creation from beginning to end including Hazrat Ibraheem (alaihis salaam) is in need of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).

Aqida

From amongst the Unique blessings bestowed upon the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the Me'raaj (ascension in to the heavens), when the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) journeyed in a short space of night with his physical body from Musjid-e-Haraam (Makkah) to Musjid-e-Aqsa (in Jerusalem), from there into the seven skies, pass the Kursi, and even beyond the Arsh and he was blessed with such closeness, that has never been bestowed upon any human or Angel ever before and will never be bestowed ever to anybody else. He saw Almighty Allah with the eyes of his head and he heard the Kalaam of Allah without any means and he saw and understood every atom in the heights of the heavens, the skies and the earths.

Aqida

Huzoor (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has been blessed with the closest station in the Court of Almighty Allah. The entire creation wants Almighty Allah to be pleased with them, and Almighty Allah Wills the pleasure of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).

Aqida

It is absolutely impossible for anyone to be like the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).Anyone who shows anyone to be equal to any of Huzoor's (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) unique attributes in any way, is a mislead person or a Kaafir.

Aqida

Huzoor (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the greatest and most exalted of all Allah's creation. All splendours have been gathered in the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). He has been given all that which others may have individually and even those splendours that none other has or will have. All those that have received any splendors, have received it through the blessing of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), but they have actually received it through the blessed hands of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), and in reality all splendours have been only recognised as splendors, because they are the qualities of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Through the Grace of Almighty Allah, the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is totally perfect in his being. Huzoor (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) being perfect is not due to any quality or attribute, but the splendor of the quality is that it is connected to the most perfect (Muhammad sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). It is for this reason that it became splendid and complete, to such an extent, that in whomsoever these splendors are found in, it makes him a splendid person.

Aqida

The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is Khaatimun Nabiyeen meaning that he is the Final Prophet of Allah. Almighty Allah has closed the doors of Prophethood after the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). No new Nabi can now come either in the era of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) or after this. Anyone who accepts that a new Nabi could come in the time of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) or after his time, or one who even thinks this to be possible is a Kaafir.

Aqida

The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is Mercy unto, the humans, Angels, Jins, Hoors (maidens of Jannat), Ghilman (servants of Jannat), animals and all the creation of Almighty Allah, and he is most merciful upon the Muslims.

Aqida

All the other Ambia (alaihimus salaam) were sent to a specific nation, but the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was sent to all mankind, jins, Angels, animals, and the entire creation. Just as it is Fard upon the humans to respect the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), it is Fard upon the entire creation to respect the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).

Aqida

The Nabis are alive in their graves like they were alive on earth. They eat, drink and come and go as they wish. To fulfill the promise of Allah 'Every soul shall taste death', they tasted death for a moment and were then given life again. Their lives are much more exalted than that of the Shaheeds (martyrs). In this sense, the belongings of the shaheeds can be distributed and their wives can remarry afterwards, but this is not so when it comes to the Prophets.

Up to this juncture, all the Prophets are equal in whatever beliefs have been discussed relating to Prophets. Now there are certain aspects that are uniquely attributed to the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).

Aqida

Any person who claims to be a Nabi and tries to show some sign trying to convince people that he is a Nabi, can not come true as this will confuse right from wrong.


Beneficial note: Those miracles which a Nabi performs before Nabuiwat and are called "Irhaas". That miraculous action which a Wali performs is known as Karaamat. Those miracles which ordinary believers cause to occur is called "Ma'oonat" and those so-called miracles which are performed by open sinners and kaafirs are called "Istidraaj".

Aqida

One of the evidence of a Nabi's claim of Nabuiwat is that he makes the true claim of Nabuiwat and takes the responsibility of performing actions which are generally impossible for any person and he calls those who do not believe towards this. Almighty Allah allows that which he wishes to do to come into existence and all the unbelievers are left speechless. This is called a Mu'jiza, like the camel of Hazrat Saaleh (alaihis salaam), the Aasa (staff) of Hazrat Moosa (alaihis salaam) and his brightly shining hand, Hazrat Esa (alaihis salaam) bringing the dead back to life, curing the leper, and those born blind, and the mu'jizas of our Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) are numerous.

Aqida

All the Ambia have been blessed with a very exalted status in the Court of Almighty Allah. To say them (Allah forbid) to be like cobblers in the court of Allah is open blasphemy (gustaaki) and words of Kufr.

Aqida

The Nabis have different levels. Some have been given excellence over others and the most exalted of all is our beloved Rasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). After Huzoor (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) the greatest status is of Hazrat Ibraheem (alaihis salaam), then Hazrat Moosa (alaihis salaam), then Hazrat Esa (alaihis salaam) and then Hazrat Nooh (alaihis salaam). These Prophets are known as "Mursaleen ulul Uzm" These five Nabis are greater than all other Prophets, humans, Angels, Jins and all the creation. Without comparison, just as the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the greatest amongst all the Prophets, through the blessing of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), the Ummat of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the greatest Ummat of all Ummats.

Aqida

To allocate an actual figure for the number of Ambia is not allowed, since there are various narrations on this issue. To allocate a set figure could cause one to bring faith in one less Nabi or to make a non Nabi a Nabi and both these are kufr. We should thus have this belief, that we bring faith in all the Nabis of Allah.

Aqida

The first Prophet on earth was Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) and the first Rasool that was sent towards the unbelievers was Hazrat Nooh (alaihis salaam) .He gave guidance for nine hundred and fifty years. The unbelievers in his time were very staunch and hard. They caused him much discomfort and mocked him. In so many years, only a few people accepted Islam. When he saw that the rest of them were stubborn and refused to accept the true faith, he requested Almighty Allah to destroy them. A huge flood came and the entire earth drowned under water. Only all the believers and a pair of all animals that were taken into the Ark he built were saved.

Aqida

Man did not exist before the creation of Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam). All humans are the offspring of Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam). It is for this reason that humans are called "Adami", in other words "The Children of Adam" and Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) is known as "Abul Bashr" meaning the Father of all humans.

Aqida

Almighty Allah created Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) from sand, without a mother or father and appointed him as his Khalifa (Representative). Almighty Allah blessed him with the knowledge of the names of everything. Almighty Allah commanded the Angels to make Sajdah to him. All obeyed the command except
shaitaan (who was from the fraternity of Jins, and was a great worshipper and was thus counted amongst the Angels). He refused and became cursed forever.

Aqida

From Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) upto our Nabi (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) Almighty Allah sent various Nabis. Some of them are very clearly mentioned in the Holy Quran whilst others are not. Those names of those Nabis which are clearly mentioned in the Holy Quran are: Hazrat Adam, Hazrat Nooh, Hazrat Ibraheem, Hazrat Ismaeel, Hazrat Ishaaq, Hazrat Yacoob, Hazrat Yusuf, Hazrat Moosa, Hazrat Haroon, Hazrat Shuaib, Hazrat Lut, Hazrat Hood, Hazrat Dawood, Hazrat Sulaiman, Hazrat Ayoob, Hazrat Zakariyah, Hazrat Yahya, Hazrat Esa, Hazrat Ilyaas, Hazrat Al Yas'a, Hazrat Yunus, Hazrat Idrees, Hazrat
Zul Kifl, Hazrat Saaleh (alaihumus salaam) and the leader of the Prophets, Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).

Aqida

To respect a Nabi is "Farz-e-Ain" (meaning that it is fard upon every individual personally). In actuality it is the reality of all Fard. The slightest disrespect or falsification of the word of any Nabi is Kufr.

Aqida

The Ambia are more superior than all the creation including the Angels that are Rasools. No matter how exalted a Wali may be, he can never be equal to a Nabi. Any person who says any non Nabi to be more superior or even equal to any Nabi is a Kaafir.

Aqida

Almighty Allah has bestowed the knowledge of the unseen upon the Ambia-e-Kiraam. Every particle in the skies and earths is in the sight of every Nabi. This knowledge of the unseen which the Nabis possess is that which has been bestowed upon them by Almighty Allah, thus their knowledge is known as Ilm-e-Ataayi (that knowledge which has been bestowed) and Ilm-e-Ataayi is Muhaal for Allah, for none of His attributes or splendors are given to Him by any. They are all of His Self. Those who reject knowledge of the unseen for Nabis especially the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), they are rejecting the verse of the Quran where Almighty Allah say, "They accept some words of the Quran and make infidelity with other verses" They only look at certain verses and they reject the verses in which it is explained that the Ambia are given knowledge of the unseen, whereas all the verses about Ilm-e-Ghaib (unseen knowledge) are Haq. Since the verses which say that Almighty Allah alone has knowledge of the unseen refers to Ilm-e-Zaati (that which is unattained) and the verses which explain ilm-e-ghaib for the Prophets is referring to Ilm-e-Ataayi (that which is bestowed upon them). To say that by accepting that The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is aware of every particle is equaling his knowledge to that of Allah, is a totally baseless argument, since only then will it be equal, if we say that the Prophet has the same knowledge as Allah (Allah Forbid).


This is not so, since Almighty Allah's knowledge is self-knowledge and the Prophet's sallal laahu alaihi wasallam is that which Allah bestowed upon him. The difference has already been shown. None will say that the Prophet's (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) knowledge is equal to Allah in this way, except one who is a Kaafir. Everything in the universe is that which will be terminated and the Knowledge of Allah can never be destroyed, as this would show ignorance which is absolutely impossible, as Allah is free from ignorance. After being explained the difference between Zaati and Ataayi, if one still makes the accusation of equality, then this is totally contrary to Imaan and Islam. To believe that in the presence of this difference there will be equality, would mean equality in compulsory existence (like that of Allah) (Allah forbid), that the possibility is
present and the necessity is also present, and to say equal in existence is open shirk and open kufr.

The Ambia come to earth to inform us of the unseen. If Jannat, Jahanum, Hashr, punishment and reward are not unseen, then what are they? (All this has been mentioned to us by the Ambia). Their position is such that they inform us of that which the mind and thought can not even reach or decipher, it is this, which is called ghaib. The Awliyah Allah also possesses knowledge of the unseen, but this too, they attain through the blessing of the Prophets.

Aqida

It is necessary for their bodies to be free from leprosy, and all other sicknesses that are hated by the people. There are those who use derogatory terms when explaining the history of certain Prophets. An example of this is the incidents about Hazrat Ayoob (alaihis salaam). I have often heard and read people say and write that (Allah Forbid) that when Hazrat Ayoob (alaihis salaam) was ill, his body had a bad smell which drove people away from him etc. To say this totally improper and is not a true account of the incident which occurred. Such words can never be used in the when discussing the Prophets of Allah.

Aqida

It is absolutely impossible for Nabis to make mistakes and errors in propagating the commands of Allah.

Aqida

The Nabis have passed on all the commands to the people which Almighty Allah revealed upon them for the people. Anyone who says that any Nabi did not pass down all Allah's commands due to fear (Taqiyya) or any other reason is a Kaafir.

Aqida

It is unanimously agreed that the Nabis are pure from anything which is dishonorable behavior or qualities, such as Shirk (associating partners with Allah), Kufr (infidelity), lies, dishonesty, and ignorance etc, before attaining Nabuiwat and even after attaining Nabuiwat. They are pure from major and minor sins even before Nabuiwat is bestowed upon them, thus Maasoom.

Aqida

It is compulsory for a Nabi to be "Maasoom" (absolutely free from the ability to sin) and this is a unique quality of Nabis and Angels only. With the exception of a Nabi and Angel, none other is Maasoom (free from the ability to sin). To say the Imams to be Maasoom like the Nabis, is to be mislead and irreligious. Ismat-e-Ambia means that the Ambia have been promised protection by Allah, for which reason, it is totally impossible for them to sin and this is different for the Great Imams and the Awliyah Allah. Almighty Allah protects and they do not sin, but according to the Shariah it is not Muhaal for it to happen. . It is improper to say that a child is Maasoom as the even though a child does not sin as a child, but the child definitely has the ability to sin.

Aqida

Nabuiwat (Prophethood) is not something that one can attain through striving or through worship. This is something that is bestowed by Almighty Allah, that through His Grace, He has bestowed it upon whom He Wills. Verily, He has given it to those, whom He has made worthy of this position, who are pure from all undesirable qualities, and with the most exalted character and has passed through the various levels of closeness and whose, body, words, actions and movements are pure from all that which is disliked. They are blessed with the most perfect intelligence, which is very much more powerful than the intelligence of others. The intelligence of any wise doctor or philosopher can not even come close to one hundred thousandth of their intelligence. One who accepts that Nabuiwat is attainable through striving and Ibaadat is a Kaafir.

Aqida

The Wahi of Nabuiwat is only unique to Nabis. One who accepts this for any non Nabi is a Kaafir. That which is shown to a Nabi in his dream is also Wahi (revelation) and it can never be false. Some things are made apparent to Walis (saints) either in their dream, or whilst they are awake. This is known as Ilhaam. The Shaitaani revelation is that which is the whispering of Shaitaan. This is for soothsayers, conjurers and other Kaafirs and open sinners.

Aqida

Some of the things in the Quran are clear and well understood by us where as there are other things in the Holy Quran which are not so clear to us and only known by Allah and Allah's Rasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). To search for such things in the Quran which are not clearly understood and to try to decipher them is only the behavior of a person who has wickedness in his heart.

Aqida

To be come inapplicable means that certain verses are revealed for a certain period and it is not clearly mentioned until when these verses did apply. When later verses were revealed, then it was understood that the earlier verses were no longer applicable. The reality is that it shows the duration of the law coming to an end.


Some people say Mansookh (inapplicable) to mean nullified. This is completely improper. All the commands of Allah are Haq. There is no room for nullification in the commands of Allah.

Aqida

The Holy Quran has made various verses of the other books inapplicable. Likewise, some verses of the Quran make other verses of the Quran inapplicable (Mansookh).

Aqida

There are seven methods of reading the Holy Quran that are most well known and uninterrupted. (Allah Forbid) There is no difference in meaning when reading any one of the seven methods. One should read that method which is most convenient for him. The command is that the method that is most prominent in an area should be the method that one should recite in the gathering of the people, like in India (and various other countries) the Qirat of Aasim on the authority of Hafs is recited, so that people do not reject any method and commit kufr (infidelity) by rejecting another method which they have no knowledge of.

Aqida

The past books were only memorised by the Ambia. The miracle of the Quran is that even little children amongst the Muslims have memorised it.

Aqida

The Holy Quran announces that it is the Word of Allah. "If you have any doubt in this Book which we have revealed upon our most chosen servant, (Muhammad sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) then present a small surah like it and call all your helpers except Allah to assist you, if you are true. And if you can not do so, and We say that you shall never be able to do so, then fear that fire whose fuel is man and stone, which has been prepared for the unbelievers." The Kaafirs tried very hard to do this, but they could not even bring one sentence equal to that of the Quran, and they shall never be able to do so.

Aqida

As this religion (Islam) is to remain forever, Almighty Allah has taken upon Himself the responsibility of protecting the Quran. Almighty Allah says, "Verily We have revealed the Quran and verily We are definitely its protector." Thus, to make any alterations in the Quran in any way is totally impossible, even if the people of the entire world gather together with the intention of altering it, thus anyone who says that any chapters, verses, surahs, or even letters have been added or subtracted from it, is a Kaafir without any doubt, for he has refuted the verse of the Quran which we have quoted above.

Aqida

All the Heavenly books and scriptures are Haq (True), and all are the word of Allah. It is necessary to bring Imaan in that which has been mentioned in all of them. It however happened that Almighty Allah gave the books of the past in the care of the people. They could not protect it. It did not remain with them in the original form, as it had been revealed, because the mischievous ones amongst them made alterations in these books and added and removed information to suit their own desires. However, the Quran remains safe,
unaltered. Thus, if anything from these books are presented before us, and it is in accordance with the Quran, then we should acknowledge it and if it is contrary to the Quran, then we shall know for certain that it is one of those things that were altered, and if we can not recognise whether it is in accordance with the Quran or contrary, then we should neither reject nor acknowledge it, but we should say, "We bring faith in Allah, in all His Angels, all His Books and All His Prophets.

Aqida

Almighty Allah revealed various scriptures (sahifas) and Heavenly Books upon various Nabis. From amongst them, four are very famous: The Taurat was revealed to Hazrat Moosa (alaihis salaam), The Zuboor to Hazrat Dawood (alaihis salaam), The Injeel to Hazrat Esa (alaihis salaam) and the Most Exalted Book, The Holy Quran was revealed upon the Most Exalted Prophet Huzoor Purnoor Ahmad-e-Mujtaba Muhammad Mustafa (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). In the Book of Allah, for part of it to be more exalted than the other parts, is in the sense of more reward attained for us, otherwise, Allah is One and His Word is One. There is no space for more or less exalted in His Kalaam as it is Qadeem. It is not so that certain parts of His Kalaam are more exalted while others are less exalted.

Aqida

It is necessary for revelation to descend upon a Nabi, be it through an Angel or without any means.

Aqida

It is not compulsory upon Almighty Allah to send Prophets. Through His Grace, He sent down Prophets for the guidance of the people.

Aqida

All Nabis were human and men. Neither has any Jin or woman been a Nabi.

Aqida

A Nabi refers to that human, on whom Allah sent down Wahi (revelation) for the purpose of guidance. Rasool is not only specific to humans, as there are Angels as well who are Rasools.

BELIEFS CONCERNING NABUIWAT (PROPHETHOOD)

Just as it is of utmost importance for a person to know what is proper to accept or not to accept when it comes to Belief in Allah, so that he does not reject any necessity or accept anything that is absolutely impossible and become a Kaafir, it is also of utmost importance to know what is permissible, compulsory and absolutely impossible for a Nabi, since to accept a Muhaal (that which is absolutely impossible) and to reject what is compulsory is the means to infidelity. It is very possible that due to lack of knowledge, that a person may hold a improper belief or say something which is contrary to the proper belief, and this can cause his destruction.
