Old World, New Opportunity

With todays ever changing world and times like these giving room to more globalism or say western wasted interests which are being propagated more vigorously and repeatedly on every form of media till they reach every eye or ear on face of Earth, we as Muslims the sole Caliph's of this age, the appointee's from Allah Almighty are truly given a great chance in using that medium of communication with which evil is being propagated to spread a message which is more pure in its spirit and most of all, is of great importance in its vitality to give human spirit a reason to search more for those ethical and moral behavior for which philosophers, scientists and geniuses from different human cultural backgrounds who have dreamed to live it, Here at last Islam has provided that opportunity to live those high values, way of life that has touched and applied to almost every human being from every walk of life to ponder and think very deeply that what creature is he and hitherto where he has led his ways, ultimately giving way for much a higher purpose to build his inner self and live a life and hereafter that is full of bliss and harmony, for which always human soul has yearned and suffered.

The beauty of Islam is that it gives complete harmony to society that so called other thoughts of school have propagated to achieve it in greatness of happy life, thoughts like celibacy, life of recluse etc; which have always harmed human society and have disturbed human soul are totally alien to Islamic way of life, thats why the Apostle (S.A.W) once said to His companion (echoing that message to the whole of humanity) that there is no room for Rabbism in Islam (La Rabniyya fill Islam). Indeed it is greatness of this message that in every age Muslim Saints have taught to shun any Un-Islamic thought that clashesd with the Sharia of Islam, it was this uniformity that developed such great school of spiritual thoughts (viz: Suharwardiya, Naqshbandiya, Qadriya, Chishtiya) which gave human soul greatness and spiritual communion with his Creator that at last his hungry soul has quenched his spiritual thirst. Well more over a thousand years these silsilas have given human soul what it wanted and still are serving human beings in different parts of world.

Indeed in todays world of obscure information age where a lot of negative images are being propagated every where about Islam and Muslims. Now is the time that we as Muslims need to live and propagate that pure and blissful life that our Great Prophet (S.A.W) , Sahabas (R.A) and our ancestors have lived, taught and died with. We as Muslims should come more closer to the spirit of Islam and be its followers in Spirit and Thought. We as Muslims should do more for our brothers and sisters who are suffering at hand of the enemies of Islam. We as Muslims need to establish Discipline, unity and brotherhood in our ranks to deal with the dangers that we are in and cater the needs that our future may demand. We as Muslims should letter and spirit implement the message of Quran and Sunnah in our life to foster again the Golden age of Islam which produced gems like Imam Abu Haniha, Imam Malik, Imam Bukhari, Imam Muslim, Abu Dawood, Imam Sha'fii, Imam Ahmed Ibn Hanbal, Imam Al-Ghazzali, Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn Sina, Junaid Baghdadi, Al-Khawarizmi, Imam Al-Razi, Ibn Hazm, Ibn Maskawiya, Ibn Rushd, Ibn Sireen, Ibn Hasham, Firdousi, Al-Tirmidhi, Sheikh Suharwardi, Baba Farid Ganj Shakr, Data Ganj Bakhsh, Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti, Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, Shiekh Ahmed Sirhandi, Shah Waliullah Dehlawi and many more...

The Best Ummah

In the name of Allah the most gracious and most merciful, I say Assalam-o-Alaikum to you all. Praise be to the Lord of the worlds, sustainer and creator of everything. To Him is the Day of Reckoning and to Him is the Kingdom of Heavens and worlds and to Him is our return. Salat and salam be on His appointed Prophets and Muqarrabeens. Thousands and thousands of Salat and Duroods be on our Lord and Prophet Syedna Mohammad (Salla Allaho Alaihi Wassallim) whose Holy Being is the cause of creation of Universe and everything in it.

As one Ummah it is mandatory on us that we study Islam and the life and times of Prophet(S.A.W) very deeply, follow it very passionately and sincerely. Lets see how our great Religion Spread. Islam which the great Arabian Prophet (S.A.W) through whom it was revealed and who taught and practiced until His last breath such was the great cause that His Companions [Sahaba(Radi Allah)] with great valour, Heroic-courage, determination and struggle preached that great Religion; whose namesake followers we are , to whole of the mankind that they literally abandoned there unprecedented Heaven and families to live by the message and dedicated there lives in service of Islam for propagating and reaching out to every single Human Being on the face of the planet at the time.

The proof of the above mentioned hypothesis about the companions of Prophet (S.A.W) is that you will see mostly their last resting places are outside Arabian peninsula, you will see their graves rather far and beyond from where they took the flag of Islam to the Nations of the world.

If one very carefully studies the History of Islam, one will see the grandeur of the Almighty Allah in it at every success that Islam met at different junctures of its glorious History. From it's (Islam) birth till to date we find great Historical evidences, lets see at few. In the Battle of Badr where Muslims were outnumbered in every way by idolators [it is mentioned here that this battle (where Muslims constituted of 313 men of whom three to four were on horses while other on foots with broken arrows and swords against an army of one thousand idolators of whom three hundred were on horses and almost two hundred on camels equipped with best if the best arms and ammunitions of the time) was the deciding factor in the growth of Islam which was only won on the providence of Allah Almighty with Prophet (S.A.W) praying for mercy and help from Allah, which indeed was heard and fulfilled] to the battles of Yarmuk and Qadsia where Muslim armies were still outnumbered in every way against there rival armies and where Muslim armies won deciding battles that paved way for the Islamic Caliphate for succeeding centuries. Anyone who says Islam spread through sword need to study the history of Islam very thoroughly and see for himself that how Islam spread and how it is still spreading with that same great power.

The great Religion which Abraham preached, Moses followed and Jesus of Nazareth practiced was finally completed in letter and spirit in the Life and Times of the Great Arabian Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W) for the purpose was very clear that in Him was the finality of the Prophethood and as well as the message that he brought and completed. From Psalms of David, Torah of Moses and Gospel of Jesus came from the same source the last word "Al-Qura'an"; that which is read frequently, to emboss the authority that from now onwards the Religion is one, Islam; its followers are one; Muslims, there book is one, Al-Qura'an and there God is one; Allah. They are to follow what Prophet (S.A.W) has said and done. It was declared that from now onwards the whole of mankind is merged into one nation and every individual is accountable for his or her deed to the sustainer of the worlds; Allah.

People of the book(Psalms, Torah, Gospel and other Sahaif) were called upon to join this last revelation and be benefited from it, because they were told of this long before the advent if the Great Arabian Prophet (S.A.W) through the prophets that were sent to them, because they interpolated there revealed books, prosecuted and executed innocent prophets and became heedless thus in the Glorious Quran it is mentioned that

"O! people of the book why do you intermix truth with false and (why) do you hide truth indeed you know (what is truth?)"

(Al Quran, Surah Imran: 71)


It is now on us as Muslims to study our Religion very thoroughly and practice it completely and then propagate and preach it to the nations of the world. For us is the Glorious Quran and Sunnah of Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W) to live by and thus Allah commands in His Final Revelation to the Mankind that


"Verily in the Messenger of Allah you have a best example for him who look towards Allah and the last day, and remember Allah much"

AL-Quran (Surah Ahzab:21)

Indeed it is stressed that the need to study the life and times of the Greatest Man who ever lived, His every word, thought and action, and every single utterance is stored and scripted in six great AUTHENTICATED Books of Traditions (Hadith) viz: 1) SAHIH BUKHARI 2) SAHIH MUSLIM 3) JAMIA TIRMZI 4) SUNNAN IBN MAJA 5) SUNNAN ABU DAWOOD 6) SUNNAN NISAI and also sometimes MAUTA IMAM MALIK.

So if we on one hand take Holy Quran and on other hand the Sunnah of the Prophet (S.A.W), Insha-Allah we will never go astray, rather we will be light and guidance for whole of the humanity. As our great History shows that we were master of humanity for more over a thousand years regardless of any field of human endeavour and knowledge. To us Allah has addressed thus in Glorious Quraan

"You are best community that has been raised for mankind.  You enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency; and you believe in Allah"

Al-Qura'an (Surah Aal-e-Imran:110)

Therefore, it is indeed stressed that we as Muslim Ummah collectively as well as individually play our part to regain the post that we lost almost 500 years ago, so lets my fellow brethren work for that ultimate goal from which we have deviated so far. May Allah be our support and strength.

One Message

This to explain that why I have created this blog, it is to share and spread the message of Allah and His Prophet (S.A.W). In the subsequent posts I will be giving Bayanats on the Great Book "Al-Qura'an" and the Sunnah of Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W). Islamic History, Islamic Philosophy, Geniuses that flourished in the Great Golden Age of Islama and about our efforts for the Muslim Revival and Renaissance. Insha-Allah.
