3. Abu al-Qasim Khalf

versed in the sciences of
Hadith, jurisprudence,
grammar, Arabic language,
history and pedigrees.

13
Al-Dhahabi, Al-Ìbr, vol. IV, p.175.
14
Ibid, p. 303.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Hence he composed very
beautiful poetry.
15

At the time of his
departure he recited some
verses, the English
translation of which is
given below:
I am reciting these
verses while departure
has been firmly resolved.
My camel singers have
begun their songs and
reins have been put to
my rides.

15
Shah Àbd al-Àziz in his Bustan al-Muhaddithin, p. 346.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
My eyes have lost vision
due to excessive weeping
and my heart has become
so void that even the
thought of my colleagues
has been erased from it.
May Allah show His
Indulgence towards the
neighbours of the high
Corodova and bless its
mounts with continuous
showers.
It was due to their
goodness and sympathy
that I ever felt myself as
Munir Ahmad Mughal
if I was among my own
kiths and kins.
Once Qadi Ìyad passed by
a field in which a few
flower plants were waving
and he uttered a stanza of
four lines, the English
version of which is as
under:
Look to the field and
the size of its plants, the
red flowers of which are
like the wounds.
That while bowing
before the wind seem
like an army dressed in
Munir Ahmad Mughal
green running being
defeated and injured.
Writings
Jurist Muhammad bin
Hammadah Sabti states
that during the life time of
Qadi Ìyad none else had
written more books than
him. He attained such
climax that none of his
contemporaries could
reach. Even then he was
most humble and God
fearing.

Ibn Khalkan says that
Qadi Ìyad was the leading

About the Book
All the works of Imam
Àllamah Qadi Ìyad (May
Allah Sanctify his secret)
are invaluable treasures
and the men of knowledge
throughout the world and
ages have great honour and
respect for them and have
also utilised them. Imam
Àllamah Muhyiddin bin
Sharf al-Nawawi, has
referred to his works at
many places. Imam
Badruddin Yamini has also
referred to them often.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Hafiz al-Hadith Àllamah
Ibn Hajr Àsqalani has also
mentioned them in his Fath
al-Bari while explaining
various points of ahadith.
Those who have written
commentaries on books of
ahadith, whenever they
write in them the Qadi
said. the reference is
always to Imam Àllamah
Qadi Ìyad (May Allah
Sanctify his secret).
The most popular of his
works is Kitab al-Shifa bi
tarif Huquq al-Mustafa
Munir Ahmad Mughal
(Peace and blessing of
Allah be upon him). The
great researchers in the
science of Ahadith have
got authority from it and
the later biographers have
taken it as a source.
Undoubtedly this book
enlightens the hearts and
refreshes the minds. It is so
because it contains the
events of the sacred life of
the Messenger of Allah
(
) based
on authentic ahadith.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
The acceptance of the
book in the court of
( )
itself.
For the popularity and
acceptance of a book
nothing is more valuable
than its acceptance in the
court of the Messenger of
Allah (
).
The greatest distinction of
Kitab al-Shifa lies in it that
once the nephew of the
author saw that the author
was sitting on a golden
Munir Ahmad Mughal
throne with the Messenger
of Allah (
). Seeing this scene he

became awful. Imam
Àllamah Qadi Ìyad (May
Allah Sanctify his secret)
felt this state of him and
said, My nephew! Hold
my book al-Shifa firmly
and take it as a guide for
you.
In other words it was an
indication to the fact that
this honour and superiority
has been bestowed upon
him merely on account of
Munir Ahmad Mughal
compilation of the said
book.
26

A historian of world
repute, Àllamah Mustafa
bin Abdullah known as
Haji Khalifah has
mentioned this book with
the following tribute:
It is a book of great use
and multiple advantages.
In the history of Islam
such book has not been
compiled. May Allah
Almighty grant
excellence to its compiler

26
Al-Dhahabi, Tazkarah al-Huffaz, vol.4 p.98.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
and bless him with his
mercy and grant him
honour.
27

Lisan al-Din Khatib
Tilmasani has composed a
long poem paying tribute
to this book; the English
version of the said poem is
given below:
The Shifa of Ìyad is a
book in which there is
healing for the hearts (of
men) and its superiority
is not hidden.

27
Haji Khalifah, Kashf al-Zunun, Baghdad, vol.2 p.1053.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
It is such a great
presentation by a good
person that its
substitution is nothing
but reward and beautiful
remembrance.
He has proved his loyalty
towards the Messenger
of Allah (
) and the best

attribute of the generous
is their loyalty.
He brought such an
ocean that is superior,
more pleasant and purer
than the ocean of water.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
He has taken due care of
the right of the

) after his
departure and it is and
established law that to
show negligence in the
matter of any of his
rights amounts to
committing injustice.
It is a praise worthy
memorial that does not
become old and also
there is no apprehension
of its depreciation.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
If loyalty became my aid
I extremely desire to
extend and spread his
superiority and majesty
fully.
28

Àllamah Abu al-Husayn
Zaydi has also composed a
poem in praise of Kitab al-
Shifa, the English
translation of which is
given below:
Kitab al-Shifa is a
healing of the hearts and
the sun of its arguments
is shining brightly.

28
Shah Àbd al-Aziz Muhaddith Dihlawi, Bustan al-
Muhaddithin, pp. 342-3.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
You should respect it and
continue doing so and
you should state its
greatness throughout
your life.
When a man studies its
contents the root of his
faith becomes firmly
established in guidance.
He has brought out such
a garden of piety and
purity the branches of
which blossom with the
fragrance of the flowers.
He got an access to such
sciences that took him
Munir Ahmad Mughal
high to the climax of
Venus and Saturn.
May Allah grant
excellence to Abu al-
Fadl whose goodness has
extended throughout the
world!
He states the greatness of
the Prophet of guidance
and the most superior
person of all the creation
(
) .
May Allah grant him the
best reward and bless
him with forgiveness.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
May Peace and blessings
of Allah be upon the
chosen personality and
also on his companions
and all those who came
to his assistance!
That may not come to an
end till the end of the last
era and there should be
no end to his era.
29

Mulla Àli Qari has also
composed a verse the
English version of which is
given below:

29
Haji Khalifah, Kashf al-Zunun , vol. II, p1055.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
When I saw Kitab al-
Shifa I found it
containing the life traits
of the personality who
was the chosen one (of
Allah) .
Some of the literary
persons remarked:
O Ìyad! May Allah
Almighty grant you the
gardens of Eden in lieu
of your compilation of
Kitab al-Shifa!
You have collected in it
the most authentic
Ahadith. Therefore it is
Munir Ahmad Mughal
a healing for every such
person who is having a
disease in his heart.

Àllamah Yusuf bin
Ismaìl Nabhani made the
following remarks about
this book:

Àllamah Ahmad Shihab

Sources of al-Shifa
and its criticism
The source of Kitab al-
Shifa is the book al-Shifa
compiled by Ibn Sab`.
Following the source some
weak Ahadith have been
mentioned in the present
book also and a very few
persons have declared
them as concocted
(maudu`). Allamah Jalal al-
Din Suyuti has pointed out
all such Ahadith in his
book Manahil al-Safa fi
Takhrij Ahadith al-Shifa.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
We have not left to point
out any such thing where
we have felt a need of it for
the reader.

Commentaries and
Annotations
The popularity of the
book Al-Shifa can be
assessed from this fact that
a great number of men of
knowledge have written
commentaries of this book.
Àishah Àbd al-Rahman
Bewley, says:

recognition of the Rights
of the Chosen one), of
Qadi 'Iyad (d.
544H/1149CE) is
perhaps the most
frequently used and
commented upon
handbook in which the
Prophet's life, his
qualities and his miracles
are described in every
detail. Generally known
by its short title, Ash-
Shifa, this work was so
highly admired
throughout the Muslim
Munir Ahmad Mughal
world that it soon
acquired a sanctity of its
own for it is said: "If
Ash-Shifa is found in a
house, this house will not
suffer any harm...when a
sick person reads it or it
is recited to him, Allah
s.w.t., will restore his
health."

benefited by its study are

Muqaddamah Kitab
Foreword by the
Author
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
Allahumma Salli àla
Muhammadin wa alihi wa
sallim

All praise is to Allah, the
Majestic, the Mighty, who
is Unique in His Name and
is specific with His
Highness. It is He besides
whom there is no final
resort. It is He besides
Munir Ahmad Mughal
whom there is no real
objective. He is the
Manifest and not
imaginary. He is the
Hidden due to His
sacredness and it does not
mean that He does not
exist. Everything is within
His Mercy and Knowledge.
It is He who has blessed
His favourites with
countless favours and
raised among them such a
Messenger who is of the
highest nobility in lineage
among the Arabs and non-
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Arabs. He is the most pure
in his ancestral claims. He
is the most wise, the most
tolerant. He was most
blessed in the matter of
knowledge and
understanding He was the
strongest in the matters of
certitude and resolution.
He was the most kind
towards the whole creation
of God. He was pure and
free from all infirmities of
physical and spiritual
conduct. Allah Almighty
favoured him with wisdom
Munir Ahmad Mughal
and invested him with the
office of prophethood and
messengership. Those who
were blind were blessed
with sight; those whose
hearts were ignorant were
enlightened and those who
were not paying heed were
made to hear the call of
truth on account of him.
Only those believed in his
messengership who
honoured and respected
him and remained firm in
his support and for whom
the eternal bliss was
Munir Ahmad Mughal
destined. Only those
disbelieved him and
ignored his miracles for
whom the eternal
condemnation was
destined. One who closed
his eyes from him will be
raised blind on the day of
judgement.
May Peace and blessings
of Allah be upon him. May
ever increasing Allahs
mercy be upon him and so
be upon his family and
followers.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Thereafter, May Allah
Almighty enlighten my
heart and your heart with
the light of certitude and
may Allah be kind and
merciful on you and on me
with such kindness with
which He blesses his pious
friends who have been
blessed by Him with His
sacred hostage and who are
fond of him to such an
extent that they have
become independent of all
worldly love and who have
been made specific for the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
observation of His
knowledge, wonders of His
dominions and signs of His
power. Thereafter, He
blessed them to worry
about none but He due to
which they had no concern
with anyone except the
seeing of his Beauty. They
are those who are fully
absorbed in observation of
His majesty and glory and
wandering in the greatness
of His power and wonders.
Their honour lies in it that
they have attached towards
Munir Ahmad Mughal
His Being and they trust in
Him throughout and in all
circumstances. They are
following the Holy Quran
with full sincerity which
says:
_ < . >: _
. > ,-l, _
Say [O the Messenger of
Allah (

)
]it is Allah (Who has sent
down this Holy Quran as
his message to mankind.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
And if they still insist in
their unbelief) then leave
them to plunge in their
vain discourse and trifling.

"Nothing doth Allah send down to man (by way of revelation)"
say: "Who then sent down the Book which Moses brought?- a
light and guidance to man: but ye make it into (separate) sheets
for show, while ye conceal much (of its contents): therein were
ye taught that which ye knew not- neither ye nor your fathers."
say: "(Allah) (sent it down)": then leave them to plunge In vain
discourse and trifling.
[6:91]

Munir Ahmad Mughal
My friends repeatedly
asked me that I should
compile a book consisting:
the rights of the
Messenger of Allah
(
)
as to his honour and
respect;
the obligations upon
the mankind in this
behalf;
the place of those
who are unaware of
this high status and
lack even an iota in
Munir Ahmad Mughal
the matter of paying
such respect; and
the verdicts of the
great men of
knowledge and the
Imams on this issue
as precedents.
Know that, the work
assigned to me is
extremely difficult. To
cross this valley I am
highly fearful as the
subject requires a
discussion which is based
on principles and at the
same time exhaustive
Munir Ahmad Mughal
whereby the secretes and
symbols of academic
research and its subtleties
are stated and it could be
clearly explained as to
what is valid and what is
not valid to attribute
towards the Messenger of
Allah (
).
Further the peculiarities of
high ranks of a Prophet, a
Messenger, and the offices
of Prophethood and
messengership and of love
and friendship are
identified.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
It is this hard to cross
valley where even qutad
who is the most famous
bird in the matter of its
high speed and sight, feels
perturbed. One feels
trembling while putting his
steps forward in this
valley. The intellect feels
its own weakness. Had
there not been the
protection of Allah on
knowledge and thoughts
used in this way the steps
were wavering and any one
who is not blessed with the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
divine support, courage
and fortitude, slips down.
I hope forgiveness and
reward for you and for
myself from Allah
Almighty on this intention
and resolution as these
blessed steps are towards
the statements of the
glories and attributes of the
Messenger of Allah
(
) and
his high office, great
morals, peculiarities and
rights which were not
combined in any single
Munir Ahmad Mughal
creature. To know the
rights of Messenger of
Allah (
)
is such an act of obedience
that ranks the most high of
all the rights. These rights
must be so clearly shown
that even the People of the
Book may also be blessed
with the wealth of
certitude. These truths
should be highlighted
before the people fully and
clearly and there should be
no concealment of truth at
all (as was the Covenant
Munir Ahmad Mughal
obtained on the day of
creation of mankind).
In this behalf it is
transmitted on the
authority of Abu Hurairah
(Allah's pleasure be on
him) that the Messenger of
Allah (
)
said:
Any one from whom
any thing is asked about
the faith and he
concealed it while he
knew it, a reign of fire
shall be put in his mouth
Munir Ahmad Mughal
on the day of
judgement.
Fearing the warning
contained in the above
Hadith I became prepared
to collect such points
whereby the target could
be achieved and to attain
the objective I made my
pen to gallop. It is so
because a man never
becomes unworried about
the domestic liabilities and
remains busy in fulfilling
them. Many a man are such
who become ignorant of
Munir Ahmad Mughal
performing the compulsory
and supernumerary acts
due to them and
consequently despite being
human beings roll down to
the pit of inhumanity.
But a man with whom
Allah intends to do well,
the circumstances become
favourble to him. Such
men will be appreciated on
the day of judgement and
they will face no
inconvenience. That will
be a day when there will be
either the reward of the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
paradise or the punishment
of the hell. Therefore it is
necessary for every human
being to save his soul from
the punishment by
guarding against the evil
and to create for himself a
place in the field of
humanity by making him
engaged in good deeds.
Remember that only such
knowledge is useful
whereby a man is benefited
himself or provides benefit
to the others.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
May Allah Almighty
save our hearts from
breaking and may Allah
forgive our signs. May
Allah Almighty make
every effort of us the best
provision for the Hereafter
and grant us courage and
fortitude to become busy in
such works that may
become the source of our
salvation and bless us with
his nearness and cover us
under His kindness and
mercy. [May it be so]!
Munir Ahmad Mughal
When I intended to
compile this book and
arranged it in chapters and
sections and fixed the
details and became busy in
making it exhaustive and
comprehensive I gave it the
name and title of Al-Shifa
bi Ta`rif Huquq al-
Mustafa and divided it
into four divisions.
PART I
It contains those divine
commandments in which
Allah Almighty has
honoured Messenger of
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Allah (
).
It contains four chapters.
Chapter 1
It contains the attributes
stated by Allah Almighty
and his rank and status in
the divine court. It has 10
sections.
Chapter 2
It contains the mention
of those perfections that
have been combined in his
physical and spiritual
conduct. That is Allah
Almighty had combined in
Munir Ahmad Mughal
him all the worldly and
spiritual excellence. It
contains 27 sections.
Chapter 3
It contains the authentic
and well known Ahadith
that show the rank and
status of Messenger of
Allah (
)
in the site of Allah and also
throw light upon his
worldly and spiritual
peculiarities. It contains 12
sections.
Chapter 4
Munir Ahmad Mughal
It contains the signs and
miracles that were made
manifest at his hand and
also that particular honour
and eminence with which
Allah Almighty has
blessed him alone. It
Part II
It contains those rights,
which are binding upon the
Ummah. It contains four
Chapters.
Chapter 1
Munir Ahmad Mughal
It mentions that to
believe in him is
compulsory and to obey
him and to follow his way
is necessary. It contains 5
sections.
Chapter 2
It mentions that to love
him and to be sincerely
attached with him is
necessary. It contains 6
sections.
Chapter 3
It stresses to recognise
the greatness of his
Munir Ahmad Mughal
commandments. Further it
states that paying respect
and honour to him and to
sincerely wish his well
being is obligatory on the
Ummah. It contains 7
sections.
Chapter 4
It relates to the
commandment of Allah
Almighty regarding the
Salat and Salam on
Messenger of Allah
(
) and
that it is compulsory. It
also states the excellence
Munir Ahmad Mughal
of the Salat and Salam. it
contains 10 chapters.
Part III
It contains the
following matters: -
1. The matters which are
impossible in respect
of Messenger of Allah
(
) .
permissible for the
Messenger of Allah
(
) .
forbidden in respect of
Munir Ahmad Mughal
(
) .
4. The matters that could
be validly attributed
towards him that relate
to human affairs.
May Allah Almighty
grant you honour, this
division is the secret of this
book and the essence of all
the chapters. Whatever is
stated prior to it is the basis
and preface of the points
and evidences of those
arguments that have been
referred to therein. And
Munir Ahmad Mughal
this is the division, which
commands all that follows
it. This is the division,
which is accomplishment
of the objective of this
compilation, which was
promised. Thus when this
promise is fulfilled that is
the division III is complete,
the jealous will burn in the
fire of their own jealousy
while the heart of a
believer will be filled with
the wealth of the light of
certitude. In this way a
wise believer will pay the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
due respect to the

), who is his
leader and chief in all
affairs of his life. We have
divided this division into
two chapters.
Chapter 1
Under this chapter those
religious affairs will be
stated that are particular
with the Messenger of
Allah (
).
The belief in the protection
of Prophets by Allah
Almighty himself shall be
Munir Ahmad Mughal
fully established. It
Chapter 2
Under this chapter the
worldly affairs will be
stated, the occurrence of
which at his end as a
human being is valid. It
Part IV
It contains the
injunctions regarding the
persons who commit
contempt of Messenger of
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Allah (
).
It contains 2 chapters.
Chapter 1
Under this chapter
those matters are
mentioned that amount to
contempt of the Messenger
of Allah (
) even if those are

attributed towards him
clearly or impliedly. It
Chapter 2
Under this chapter the
punishment prescribed for
Munir Ahmad Mughal
a contemner, and of a
person who causes any
injury to him or makes any
amputation is mentioned.
The rules regarding the
repentance, the funeral
prayer, and inheritance of
such persons are also
mentioned. It contains 10
sections.
Although we have
ended the book on chapter
III but we have made it as
a supplement of the
problem under discussion
that is the rules mentioned
Munir Ahmad Mughal
in both the chapters of
Division IV, have been
divided into 5 sections with
respect to the rules relating
to those who use uncalled
for language in respect of
Allah Almighty, His
Messengers (Peace and
blessings of Allah be upon
all of them), His angels
(Peace be on all of them),
His Books and the family
and followers of the

). These rules
have been mentioned in 5
Munir Ahmad Mughal
sections whereby all the
chapters become complete.
Consequently a piece of
light will shine on the
forehead of belief and such
a pearl will shine in the
crown of biographies that
will remove all doubts and
heal the hearts of the
believers and will make the
truth apparent while it will
ignore the ignorant. I seek
Allahs help besides whom
there is no God.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Part I
It contains that majestic
honour and rank of

) that has
been bestowed upon him
by Allah Almighty by His
word and conduct.
Al-Faqih, al-Qadi, al-
Imam, Abu al-Fadl Ìyad
says that may Allah
Almighty grant him
courage and fortitude and
keep him on the right path
who has been blessed with
some portion out of the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
wealth of knowledge or
intellect that it is not
hidden on him that Allah
Almighty has honoured our

) and blessed
him with such excellence,
good attributes and
qualities that are only and
only his lot and it is not
possible to encompass all
of them. His station is so
grand and majestic and
high that it can neither be
fully stated in words nor
recorded by pens.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
There are some such
matters relating to the
excellence and peculiarities
that have been explicitly
stated by Allah Almighty
in His book, the Holy
Quràn, and there are
matters regarding which
warning has been given in
the said Holy Book and the
morals and disciplines due
to which he has been
praised and appreciated
and the servants of God
have been excited to
observe and follow them
Munir Ahmad Mughal
due to which Allah
Almighty has, by His
grace, granted excellence
to the Messenger of Allah
(
) over
all the creation and granted
him distinction and
precedence and made him
pure and thereafter stated
his goodness and praise.
Thereafter He rewarded
him the full reward as He
alone is the owner of all
blessing and perfection. He
is Allah, the Lord of
Honour. To Him is due all
Munir Ahmad Mughal
praise here and in the
hereafter.
Among the excellences
(
) are
those things with which
Allah Almighty has
adorned him with full
majesty and perfection and
made him particular and
thereafter made him
manifest on his creation.
He blessed him with
beautiful qualities and
morals, the most honoured
religion, and much
Munir Ahmad Mughal
superiority. He also helped
him with manifest
miracles, clear evidences
and distinct honour, that
were observed by the
contemporaries and also
observed by the observers
and certain knowledge
about which reached to
those who came later on
and even upto us this truth
reached and we were
blessed by the shower of
their light. May Peace and
him.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
To us (i.e., to Qadi
Ìyad) narrated al-Qadi, al-
Shahid Abu Àli al-Husayn
bin Muhammad, al-Hafiz
before whom I read, he
said to us narrated Abu al-
Husayn al-Mubarak bin
Àbd al-Jabar and Abu al-
Fadl Ahmad bin Khyrun.
They both stated that to us

Qatadah from Anas
(Allahs pleasure be on

the Night of Ascension
(Laylatul-Mi`raj) a Burraq
was presented to

). That was
adorned with a reign and
saddle. The Burraq started
Munir Ahmad Mughal
jumping while the

) was to ride
on it. Hadrat Jibrail (Peace
be on him) asked it, O
Burraq! You are behaving
like this in the presence of
Hadrat Muhammad (

) although on
thy back is the personality
that none else is so great
and honoured in the sight
of Allah as he. (The
narrator stated) : Hearing
this Burraq became full of
sweat.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
CHAPTER 1
The subject matter of
this chapter is the praise
and appreciation of his
favourite, the Messenger of
Allah (
)
that has been made by
Allah Almighty Himself
and also the honour and
rank in His sight. There are
many verses in the Holy
Quran in which there is
mention of the good
qualities, excellent
attributes, honour and
respect of the Messenger of
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Allah (
).
They also state the high
status and station of him.
We have relied upon such
verses the meanings of
which are explicit and the
intent of which is clear. We
have divided this chapter
into ten sections. (All help
is from Allah Almighty)
Section 1
In this section those
verses are mentioned that
were revealed regarding
the praise and appreciation
and the high excellent
Munir Ahmad Mughal
qualities of the Messenger
of Allah
(
) .
Allah Almighty says:
_

Now has come to you a
Messenger from amongst
yourselves: it grieves him
that you should perish:
Munir Ahmad Mughal
ardently anxious is he over
you: to the believers is he
most kind and merciful.
[9:128]
The jurist Abul-Layth
Samarqandi (Allahs mercy
be on him) stated that some
of the reciters have read
the letter f with fatha
(i.e. anfusikum as
anfasikum) while the
generality has recited it
with a damma on the letter
f (i.e. anfusikum as
anfusikum).
Munir Ahmad Mughal
The jurist Abul-Fadl
Qadi Iyad Maliki (Allahs
mercy be on him) says that
it should be known that
here the address is to the
believers or to the Arabs or
to the people of Makkah or
to the whole mankind as
there is conflict of opinion
in the matter of this
address among the
exegesists. In other words
Allah Almighty raised
among them the great
messenger to whom they
knew very well and
Munir Ahmad Mughal
recognise his station and
office. They saw his
truthfulness and honesty
and they could not bring a
blame of falsehood or
absence of well wishing
against him though he was
from among them and
there was not a single clan
of Arabs with whom the

) had no
kinship. According to
Hadrat Abdullah bin
Abbas (Allah's pleasure be
on him) the Quranic words,
Munir Ahmad Mughal
| ::.l _ _1l

refer to this fact.
This verse means that he

them.
If the alphabet fa in
the word anfusikum

on it [ ], then it will be the
utmost degree of praise and
appreciation ( ).
Then after this attribute He
mentioned more praise
worthy attributes and
praised him with many
good qualities and stated
that he was very anxious
that the people should be
benefited with the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
guidance and embrace
Islam. Every thing that
caused injury to the people
in respect of their worldly
and spiritual life that
grieved him. Further he
was ever kind and merciful
to the Muslims.
Some elders have said
that in this glorious verse
of the Holy Quran Allah
Almighty has bestowed
upon his favourite
Messenger (
) two Good Names (i.e.

Munir Ahmad Mughal
Raufun and Rahimun/
.', and ',> ) .
This subject has
been stated in another
verse of the Holy
Quran as under:
_ _

:
:
Munir Ahmad Mughal
_

Indeed Allh conferred
a great Favour on the
believers when He sent
among them a Messenger
(Muhammad) from among
themselves, reciting unto
them his Verses (the
Qur'n), and purifying
them (from sins by their
following him), and
instructing them (in) the
Book (the Qur'n) and
Munir Ahmad Mughal
AlHikmah [the wisdom
and the Sunnah of the
Prophet (i.e. his legal
ways, statements, acts of
worship, etc.) ], while
before that they had been
In manifest error.
[3:164]
At another place the
Holy Quran says:

Munir Ahmad Mughal
_
He it is who sent
among the unlettered ones
a Messenger (Muhammad
Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa
Sallam) from among
themselves, reciting to
them his verses, purifying
them (from the filth of
disbelief and polytheism),
and teaching them the
Book (this Qur'n, Islmic
laws and Islmic
Munir Ahmad Mughal
jurisprudence) and Al-
Hikmah (As-Sunnah: legal
ways, orders, acts of
worship, etc. of the Holy
Prophet Muhammad )

) and Verily,
they had been before in
mainfest error;
[62:2]
Still at another place
the Holy Quran says:
w
Munir Ahmad Mughal
_
Similarly (to complete My

Blessings on you) we have
sent among you a
Messenger (Muhammad)
of your own, reciting to
You Our Verses (the
Qur'n) and sanctifying
you, and teaching you the
Book (the Qur'n) and the
Hikmah (i.e. Sunnah,
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Islmic laws and Fiqh -
jurisprudence), and
teaching you that which
you used not to know.
[2:151]
Hadrat Àli bin Abi
Talib (Allah's pleasure be
on him) transmitted that
(
) said:
The words of Allah
Almighty min anfusikum
relate to the ancestral
claims, lineage and in-laws
as in my forefathers from
Hadrat Adam (Peace be
Munir Ahmad Mughal
upon him) till to date none
has born by means of zina,
rather all were born by
means of Nikah.
Ibn al-Kalbi stated: I
collected the life sketches
of five hundred
foremothers but I did not
find an iota of effect of
zina or jahiliyyat in any of
them. [All glory is to
Allah.]
While explaining the
Quranic verse:
_

Munir Ahmad Mughal
And your movements
among those who fall
prostrate (along with you
to Allh in the five
compulsory
congregational prayers) .
[26:219]
Hadrat Àbdullah Ibn
Àbbas (Allah's pleasure be
on them) said:
min nabiyyin ila
nabiyyin hatta
akhrajtuka nabiyyan
(You continued
transferring from
Munir Ahmad Mughal
prophet to prophet till I
raised you as a
prophet.)
Hadrat Jafar bin
Muhammad, known as
Imam Jafar Sadiq (Allah's
pleasure be on him) said:
Seeing His creation
helpless in the matter of
His obedience Allah
Almighty granted them the
knowledge that they cannot
reach the objective by
means of service.
Therefore He made the
crown of his creation (the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Messenger of Allah, Peace
and blessings of Allah be
upon him) a means for it
who is of their species in
the form while kind and
merciful as his attributes.
He was sent towards the
creation as a perfect
ambassador and
representative that his
obedience was declared as
the obedience of Allah
Almighty and conformity
with his commands as
conformity with the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
commands of Allah
Almighty and said:
_

80
He, who obeys the

Messenger [Muhammad
(
), has
indeed obeyed Allh, but
he who turns away, then
We have not sent you [O
Muhammad (
Munir Ahmad Mughal

) ] as a watcher
over them.
[4:80]
'

And We have sent you [O
Muhammad (

) ] not but as a
Mercy for the 'Alamn
(mankind, jinns and All
that exists) .
[21:107]
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Hadrat Abu Bakr
Muhammad bin Tahir
(Allahs mercy be on him)
said that Allah Almighty
has fully adorned Hadrat
Muhammad, the
Messenger of Allah
(
), with
mercy and has made him
an emblem of mercy whose
all attributes and qualities
are nothing but mercy for
the whole creation of Allah
Almighty. Who so ever
gets even a little mercy
from his court he is
Munir Ahmad Mughal
successful in both the
worlds. and becomes
guarded against all evil and
gets his goal in both the
worlds. O addressee !
Dont you see that it was
he regarding whom Allah
Almighty says : -
'

And We have sent you [O
Muhammad (

) ] not but as a
Mercy for the 'Alamn
Munir Ahmad Mughal
(mankind, jinns and all that
exists) .
[21:107]
Thus his life is mercy as
well as his death is mercy
as he (
)
himself said: -
As my life is for your
betterment so my
departure is for your
betterment.
He (
)
said: When Allah
Almighty intends to do
mercy upon any Ummah he
Munir Ahmad Mughal
gives death to the Prophet
in the presence of the
Ummah and that Prophet
becomes a prelude for the
forgiveness of his Ummah
and a source of its
salvation.
Imam Abu al-Layth
be on him) explaining the
term Rahmatul-lil-àlamin
/

said that the

Messenger of Allah
(
) is
mercy for all the jinn and
the mankind. Another
Munir Ahmad Mughal
statement is that

) is mercy for
all the creation. He (

) is mercy for
the believers as they got
guidance through him. He
(
) is
mercy for the hypocrites as
they got asylum from being
killed on account of him.
He (
) is
mercy for the disbelievers
as they got postponement
of punishment for which
Munir Ahmad Mughal
they are liable due to their
disbelief.
Hadrat Àbdullah bin
Àbbas (Allahs pleasure
be on them) said that the

) is mercy for
believers and disbelievers.
If this fact is kept in view
that the people who belied
their Prophets were
confronted with severe
punishments, the attribute
(
) being
mercy for all the worlds
Munir Ahmad Mughal
can be very easily
understood.
It is stated that the
Messenger of Allah
(
) asked
Hadrat Jibraìl (Peace be
upon him) : Have you
been granted any portion
from my mercy? Hadrat
Jibraìl ( ) submitted
Yes, O the Messenger of
Allah (
).
I had been ever fearful of
my final consequence but
now I am satisfied as for
your sake Allah Almighty
Munir Ahmad Mughal
has praised me in the Holy
Quran in the following
words:

20
:
21
Owner of power, and

High rank with (Allh)
the Lord of the Throne,
Obeyed (by the angels),
trustworthy there (in the
heavens) .
Munir Ahmad Mughal
[81: 20 and 21]
Imam Ja`far Sadiq bin
Imam Muhammad Baqir
) ) referred
to the Quranic verse:
_
91
Then there is safety and

peace (from the
punishment of Allh) for
(you as you are from) those
on the Right hand.
[56:91]
And then he explained
that this verse means, O
Munir Ahmad Mughal
beloved (

) ! Peace is on the
people of the right hand for
your sake.
Allah Almighty has
stated the glory of the

following verse:-

Munir Ahmad Mughal
Allh is the light of the
heavens and the earth. the
parable of his light is as (if
there were) a niche and
within it a lamp, the lamp
is in glass, the glass as it
were a brilliant star, lit
from a blessed tree, an
olive, neither of the east
(i.e. neither it gets sun-rays
only in the morning) nor of
the west (i.e. nor it gets
sun-rays Only In the
afternoon, but it is exposed
to the sun All Day long),
whose oil would almost
Munir Ahmad Mughal
glow forth (of itself),
though no Fire touched it.
Light upon Light! Allh
guides to his light whom
He wills. And Allh sets
forth parables for mankind,
and Allh is All-Knower of
everything.
[24:35]
According to Hadrat
Ka`b and Ibn Jubayr
(Allahs mercy be on both
of them) while explaining
this verse said: -
Here the word al-Nur
() occurring for the 2
nd

Munir Ahmad Mughal
time refers to Hadrat
Muhammad, the

), and the
words of Allah Almighty,
Mithlu Nurihi /

(the example of his light)
refers to Nuru
Muhammadin (light of
Hadrat Muhammad, the

) ) .
Sahal bin Àbdullah
( ) said that
Allah Almighty is the
Guide of the people of the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
heavens and earth. He
further said that when the
sacred light (
) of
Hadrat Muhammad (

), the
Messenger of Allah was in
the backbones (

) its
example was that of niche.
The quality of which was
like it and the lamp was his
sacred heart. His chest was
the glass as if it was a
bright start as there was a
treasure of belief and
wisdom in it. The sacred
tree refers to the light of
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Hadrat Ibrahim (

). The Quranic
words Yakadu zaytuha
yadiù (it seems that its oil
will glow forth) means that
signs of the Prophethood of
(
) would
appear to the people prior
to his message as in the
case of the olive. There are
many other statements
regarding interpretation of
this verse. (Allah knows
best) .
Munir Ahmad Mughal
In the Holy Quràn at
many other places Allah
Almighty has referred to
(
) by the
word Nur (light). Those
verses are given below:-

,
:
Munir Ahmad Mughal

_
:

O people of the Scripture

(Jews and Christians) !
now has come to You Our
explaining to You much of
that which You used to
hide from the Scripture and
passing over (i.e. leaving
out without explaining)
much. Indeed, there has
come to You from Allh a
light (Prophet Muhammad
Munir Ahmad Mughal
) and a plain Book (this
Qur'n) .

:

O Prophet (Muhammad
(

) !
Verily We [Allah
Almighty] have sent you as
Munir Ahmad Mughal
witness, and a bearer of
glad tidings, and a warner,
And as one who invites
to Allh [Islmic
Monotheism, i.e. to
Worship none but Allh
(Alone) ] by his Leave,
and as a lamp spreading
light (through Your
instructions from the
Qur'n and the Sunnah
the legal ways of the
Prophet (

) .
[33:45 and 46]
Munir Ahmad Mughal
And in the same context
,
: :
Munir Ahmad Mughal

Have We not opened your
breast for you [O Hadrat
Muhammad (

) ]?
And removed from you
your burden,
Which weighed down your
back?
And raised high your
fame?
Munir Ahmad Mughal
So verily, with the
hardship, there is relief,
Verily, with the hardship,
there is relief (i.e. there is
one hardship with two
reliefs, so one hardship
cannot overcome two
reliefs) .
So when you have finished
(from your occupation),
then stand up for Allh's
Worship (i.e. stand up for
prayer) .
[94: 1 to 7]
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Hadrat Ibn Àbbas
him) stated his opening of
breast was with Islam.
Hadrat Sahl (Allahs
pleasure be on him) said
that it was with the light of
messengership.
Hadrat Hasan (Allahs
that the sacred heart of the

) was filled
up with knowledge and
wisdom to the extent that
there had remain no scope
Munir Ahmad Mughal
for entrance of any
whisper. Another sense of
this verse is that have we
not purified your heart to
such an extent that the
whisper may not cause any
injury to you and we have
removed that load from
you which had weighed
down your back. It is also
stated that the load refers
to the slips prior to the
period of declaration of
Prophethood. Another
statement is that the load
refers to the load of the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
days of Ignorance. Still
another statement is that it
refers to the responsibility
of messengership which
was discharge by
conveying the message
fully. This statement has
been reported by Mawardi
and Al-Sulami (Allahs
mercy be on both of them).
It is also stated that we
have saved you otherwise
the slips of the period prior
to the Prophethood would
have proved a great burden
for you. This statement has
Munir Ahmad Mughal
been reported by
Samarkundi (Allahs
mercy be on him).
Explaining the verse

And raised High Your

fame?
[94:4]
Yahya bin Adam (Allahs
mercy be on him) stated
that it means that we have
raised your name and fame
with Prophethood. It is also
stated that it means that as
Munir Ahmad Mughal
and when there will be My
remembrance, there shall
also be your remembrance
as in the first sacred article
along with the
pronouncement of La
ilaha illallahu
Muhammadur Rasulullah
(

) is
also pronounced.
It is also stated that your
remembrance has been
raised high through the call
of prayer (al-Azan).
The Jurist, Imam
Àllamah Qadi Ìyad
Munir Ahmad Mughal
(rahmatullahi àlayh) says
that it is a declaration of
the fact by Allah Almighty
that in His Court that the

) is highly
esteemed and his rank is
the highest in the sight of
Allah Almighty and He is
greatly honoured by him.
For this reason his sacred
heart was opened for belief
and guidance and it was
broaden for preservation of
knowledge and grasp of
wisdom. The burden of the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
affairs of ignorance was
removed from him and the
habits of ignorance were
declared unliked by him.
His religion was made
dominant over all the
religions and the
inconvenience of carrying
the burden of Prophethood
and messengership was
removed from him as what
ever was revealed unto him
by Allah Almighty he
conveyed it to the mankind
fully.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
This chapter of the Holy
Quran clearly indicates
the fact that in the court of
Allah Almighty his
eminent station, high rank
and respectable
remembrance is very high.
Allah Almighty has joined
his sacred name with His
Own Name (Sallallahu
àlayka wasallam ya
Rasulallah) .
Hadrat Qitadah (Allahs
that Allah Almighty raised
the remembrance of the
Munir Ahmad Mughal

) both in this
world and in the hereafter.
Therefore, there is neither
sermon deliverer nor any
caller for prayer nor any
person who offers prayer
who does not bear the
testimony of
La ilaha illallahu
Muhammadur Rasulullah
(
)
[There is no God save
Allah and Hadrat
Muhammad is the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Messenger of Allah
(

) ].
Hadrat Abu Saìd al-
Khudari (Allahs pleasure
be on him) narrated that
(
) said:
Once Jibrail (Peace be
upon him) came to me and
submitted, My Lord and
your Lord says that do you
know how your
remembrance has been
raised high? I replied,
Allah Almighty knows
best. Jibrail submitted,
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Allah Almighty says when
I am remembered, along
with it you are also
remembered. (Sallallahu
àlayka wasallam ya
Rasulallah)
Ibn Àta (Allahs mercy
be on him) while
explaining the verse:

And We (Allah Almighty)

raised High Your [Hadrat
Muhammad (

) ] fame?
Munir Ahmad Mughal
[94:4]
stated that it means, I
(Allah Almighty) have
made the completion of
belief dependent upon it
that along with me (O
Muhammad) you should
also be remembered.
Further, I have made your
remembrance as part of My
remembrance. So
whosoever remembers you,
remembers Me.
Hadrat Ja`far bin
Muhammad (Allah's
pleasure be on them)
Munir Ahmad Mughal
explaining the above verse
stated: Allah Almighty
says that whosoever will
remember My Lordship, he
shall also remember you
with your messengership.
Some ùlama have also
referred to intercession
(shafaàt/) while
explaining this verse as at
that time his highness and
excellency will be before
everyone and there will be
no way out for the
disbelievers, the jealous,
the contemners, but to
Munir Ahmad Mughal
accept the high glory of the

Another aspect of this
verse is that Allah
Almighty has joined His
Own obedience with his
obedience and His own
name with his good name.

Say (O Muhammad ): "O mankind! Verily, I am sent to You All
as the Messenger of Allh - to whom belongs the dominion of
the heavens and the earth. L ilha illa Huwa (none has the Right
to be worshipped but He); it is He who gives life and causes
death. So believe In Allh and his Messenger (Muhammad),
the Prophet who can neither read nor write (i.e. Muhammad )
who believes In Allh and his Words [(this Qur'n), the Taurt
Munir Ahmad Mughal
In both the above verses
Allah Almighty has
combined the office of
Messengership of his
favourite with Him
through the preposition
wa which is a
conjunctive letter that
shows the association of
rememberance. Such an
association is not
permissible in respect of
any one besides the

(Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and also Allh's Word: "Be!" -
and He was, i.e. 'Iesa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary),], and
follow Him so that You may be guided. "[7:158]

Munir Ahmad Mughal

).
Sheikh Abu Àli Husayn
bin Hafiz Muhammad al-
Jayyani narrated to us and
also granted permission to
us to narrate this Hadith
and its recitation on his
authority is reliable. That
the Hadith was narrated to
me by Abu Umar Al-
Namari and to him by Abu
Muhammad bin Àbd al-
Rahman and to him by
Abu Bakr bin Dasah and to
him Abu Daud Al-Sijzi
Munir Ahmad Mughal
and to him Abu al-Walid
al-Tayalisi and to him
Shubah and to him
Mansur and to him
Abdullah bin Yasar
(Allah's mercy be on all of
them) and to him Huzayfah
him) who heard the

) saying:
La yaqulanna
ahadukum ma
shaAllahu wa shaa
fulanun wa lakin ma
Munir Ahmad Mughal
shaAllahu thumma
shaa fulanun
No one of ye should
say: Whatever Allah
wishes and so and so
wishes but he should
say: Whatever Allah
wishes and thereafter
so and so wishes.
Al-Khattabi (Allahs
this is the manner of
speech in the Divine court
that has been taught by the

) that is the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
wish of Allah Almighty
must have precedence over
the wish of all others.
However, you can join the
wish of others by using the
letter thumma which is
used for sequence (tartib)
and postponement (tarakhi)
while the letter wau atifah
is used for conjunction.
There is an other
Hadith similar to the above
Hadith that a sermon
deliverer delivered a
sermon in the presence of
Munir Ahmad Mughal
(
) and in
it he also stated:
Man yutiillaha wa
rasuluhu fa qad rashada
wa man ya`sihima.
(Whosoever obeys Allah
and His Messenger, so
verily, he is guided and
whosoever disobeys both
of them) .
The Messenger of Allah
(
) said
to him:
Bisa khatibul-qaumi
anta qum.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
You are a bad speaker of
the people. Stand up.
Statements are different
as to weather the last word
used by the Messenger of
Allah (
)
was qum (You stand up.)
or it was izhib (You go
away.). Abu Sulayman al-
Khattabi (Allahs mercy be
on him) said that the

) did not like

this thing that he had
combined both the names
with the pronoun of 3
rd

Munir Ahmad Mughal
person dual symbolically.
It is so because in
combination there
appeared an equality.
Other ùlama are of the
opinion that the Messenger
of Allah (
) had disliked
observing full stop at the
end of the word
[ya`sihima/ ]. But the
view of Hadrat Abu
Sulayman al-Khattabi
appears to be more valid
than their views. The
Munir Ahmad Mughal
reason is that in the
authentic Hadith the words
are wa man yasihima fa
qad ghawa/
and there is no
mention of there being any
full stop after the words
man ya sihima/
.
There is difference of
opinion between the
exegesists and the people
of diction about the
reference of the word
yusalluna in the following
verse of the Holy Quran:
Munir Ahmad Mughal
_
:
:
:
_

:
:
_i
56
56. Allh sends his
Salt (Graces, Honours,
blessings, Mercy, etc.) on
the Prophet [Hadrat
Muhammad (

) ] and also His
angels too (ask Allh to
bless and forgive him). O
You who believe! Send
your Salt on (ask Allh to
Munir Ahmad Mughal
bless) him [Hadrat
Muhammad (

) ], and (you
should) greet (salute) Him
with the Islmic Way of
greeting (salutation i.e.
AsSalmu 'Alaikum) .
[33:56]
Some men of
knowledge (ùlama ) say
that the word
yusalluna/
refers to
Allah Almighty and the
angels both while others
forbid to say so because by
referring this word to both
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Allah and the angels there
is necessarily association
and they have stated that
this pronoun is specific for
the angels and they are of
the view that after the
words innallaha/
the
word "yusalli /
" is to
be read impliedly.
It is narrated that
Hadrat Umar (Allah's
pleasure be on him)
submitted to the Messenger
of Allah (
), O Messenger of
Allah (
)
Munir Ahmad Mughal
it is of your superiorities
that Allah Almighty
declared your obedience as
His obedience and said:
_

:
_
80
He who obeys the

Messenger [Hadrat
Muhammad (

) ], has indeed
obeyed Allh, but He who
turns away, Then we have
Munir Ahmad Mughal
not sent You [O Hadrat
Muhammad (

) ] as a watcher
over them.
[4:80]
And in this connection
Allah Almighty also says:

:
:
31
Munir Ahmad Mughal
31. Say (O Hadrat
Muhammad (

) to mankind) : "If
You (really) love Allh
Then follow Me (i.e.
Accept Islmic
Monotheism, follow the
Qur'n and the Sunnah),
Allh will love You and
forgive You of Your sins.
and Allh is Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful." [3:31]
It is narrated that when
this glorious verse was
revealed some of the
disbelievers started saying:
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Muhammad (

) wants that we
should believe him as our
Lord as the Nasara have
made Hadrat Ìsa (Peace be
upon him) as their God. On
that Allah Almighty
revealed the following

:
:
:
:
32
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Say [O Hadrat
Muhammad (
) ]: "Obey
Allh and the
Messenger
(Muhammad) ." But if
they turn away, Then
Allh does not like the
disbelievers.
[3:32]
To disgrace the
disbelievers of the high
status of Messengership
Allah Almighty has
mentioned his own
obedience with the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
obedience of the

). According
to the exegesists the words
al-sirat al-mustaqim
occurring in the following
verse of Surah al-Fatihah:
b
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Guide us to the Straight
Way
The Way of those on
whom You have bestowed
Your Grace, not (the way)
of those who earned Your
Anger (such as the Jews),
nor of those who went
astray (such as the
Christians) .
[1: 6 and 7]
According to Abul-
Àliyah, a tabii and Imam
Hasan Basari (Allahs
mercy be on both of them)
the words al-Sirat al-
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Mustaqim refer to the

), the noble
Ahl al-Bayt and the
Sahabah Kiram
(ridwanullahi taàla
àlayhim ajmaìn). Imam
Abul-Hasan al-Mawardi
has transmitted the above
statement on the authority
of the above two
personalities. Imam Makki
also narrated similarly and
said that al-Sirat al-
Mustaqim refers to the
Munir Ahmad Mughal

) and his two

great companions namely
Hadrat Abu Bakr and
Hadrat Umar (Allah's
pleasure be on both of
them) .
Similar to the above is
the interpretation given by
Imam Abul-Layth Nasr
bin Muhammad
be on him) who said that
when this interpretaion
came to the knowledge of
Imam Hasan Basri (Allahs
Munir Ahmad Mughal
mercy be on him) he said:
By the token of Allah!
Abu l-Àliyah, has spoken
the truth and has wished
well.
Imam Abul-Hasan al-
Mawardi (Allahs mercy
be on him) has transmitted
the exegesis of this
statement on the authority
of Àbdur-Rahman bin
Zayd (Allahs mercy be on
him) and Abu Abdur-
Rahman al-Sulami (Allahs
mercy be on him) has
stated it under the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
interpretation of the
Quranic words:

the Most trustworthy

refers to the being of the

There is no compulsion In religion. Verily, the Right Path has

Hearer, All-Knower.

). It is also
stated that this term refers
to al-Islam. Still further it
is stated that this term
refers to the bearing of the
testimony of oneness of
Allah.

(those who) believed
therein (i.e. the true
believers of Islmic

Muttaqn (the pious and
righteous persons) .
[39:33]
Most of the exegesists
have given the
interpretation of this verse
that the words allazi jaa
bis-sidqi refer to Hadrat
Muhammad (
Munir Ahmad Mughal

), the Messenger of
Allah. Some other
exegesists even state that
the words saddaqa bihi
also refer to him. Some
reciters of the Holy Quran
have recited the letter dal
of saddaqa with a fatha on
it that is they have read it
as sadaqa bihi. Some
ulamas have stated that
the term saddaqa bihi
refers to those who believe
(in the oneness of Allah)
and in the Messengership
of Hadrat Muhammad
Munir Ahmad Mughal
(
). Still
some others are of the view
that this term saddaqa
bihirefers to Hadrat Abu
Bakr Siddiq (Allah's
pleasure be on him). Still
further some exegesists
have stated that this term
refers to Hadrat Àli
him). In this behalf there
are other statements also.

In the above glorious
verse Allah Almighty has
combined many things in
the praise of the great
office and graceful
attributes of his favourite.
Allah Almighty has made
Munir Ahmad Mughal
him a witness for the
Ummah. That is he has
been made witness that he
has conveyed all those
injunctions to the creation
of God, which were his
responsibility to convey.
The bearing of him as a
witness of God regarding
the discharge of his
liability is a peculiar
attribute of the Messenger
of Allah (
).
Further those who
follow him, for them he
Munir Ahmad Mughal
has been made the giver of

disobey him for them he
has been made a Warner of

There is mention of some

my servant and

you al-Mutawakkil, you
are neither of bad morals,

nor hard hearted nor crier
loudly in the bazaars.
You do not repel evil
with evil but forgive it.
Allah Almighty shall not
cause death to him till
the deviated community

straight path and till they
do not proclaim that
there is no God save
Allah. He will open on
account of him the blind

Munir Ahmad Mughal
Imam Abu al-Layth
be on him) said that in the
above glorious verses of
the Holy Quràn Allah
Almighty has made His
creation to remember his
favour that he has made his
favourite, the Messenger of
Allah (
)
of such character that he is
very kind and merciful to
the Muslims and is very
polite to all the people.
Had he been harsh or hard
hearted then certainly
Munir Ahmad Mughal
people would not have
gathered around him.
Rather they would have
remained away from him.
But Allah Almighty has
made the Messenger of
Allah (
)
a forgiver of faults,
generous, soft hearted,
handsome in complextion
and graceful in conduct,
good in action, kind and
loving.
Similar is the exegesis of
this glorious verse of the
Holy Quran as given by
Munir Ahmad Mughal

[22:78]

Munir Ahmad Mughal
Muhammad (

) ] as a witness
against these people?
[4:41]
The word
Wasatan/
used in
the verse refers to just and
liked. The above verse says
that as We (Allah
Almighty ) have guided
you so We (Allah
Almighty ) have made you
specific and given you
superiority over all other
people, so that you may
stand for their Prophets as
Munir Ahmad Mughal
witnesses against their
people. And your great
Prophet, Hadrat
Muhammad (

) the Messenger of
Allah, may stand witness
for your truthfullness and
purity.
Another statement is
that when Allah Almighty
will ask other Prophets
(Peace be on all of them) :
Have ye conveyed my
injunctions to my creation
?. They will reply in the
affirmative. The People of
Munir Ahmad Mughal
each one of those Prophets
will say that there had

Muhammad, the

the statement of all the
Prophets and the

the attestation of his
Ummah as correct and
will remove the allegation
Munir Ahmad Mughal
levelled by the people
against their respective
Prophets.
Still another statement
regarding the meaning of
the above verse of the Holy
Quràn is that you (the
Muslim Ummah) are an
authoritative proof against

Munir Ahmad Mughal

Hadrat Imam Hasan
Basri (Allahs pleasure be

interpreted the Quranic
term Qadama Sidqin as
the shock which the true
lovers of the Messenger of
Allah (
)
have to bear on account of
his separation.
Hadrat Abu Said al-
Khudri (Allahs pleasure

Quranic term Qadama
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Sidqin means: the
intercession that shall be
made by the Messenger of
Allah (
)
on the day of judgement as
he is the true intercessor in
the court of his Lord (on
behalf of the sinners) .
Hadrat Sahl bin

term Qadama Sidqin
refers to the mercy with
which the being of the
Munir Ahmad Mughal

gifted. Muhammad bin Ali
al-Tirmizi (Allahs
pleasure be on him) has
stated that it is a reference
to Hadrat Muhammad
(

) that
he is the leader of the most
truthful and those who
were held truthful by all,
the intercessor, the obyed
and the begger (in the court
of Allah) whose begging

statement has been stated
by al-Sulami.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Section 3
Addresses to Hadrat
Muhammad (

) in the Holy
Quràn
Allah Almighty says: -

_ , _

:
:
43
May Allh forgive You
(O Muhammad ). why
did You grant them leave
Munir Ahmad Mughal
(for remaining behind,
You should have
persisted as regards Your
order to them to proceed
on Jihd), until those
who told the Truth were
seen by You In a clear
light, and You had
known the liars?
[9:43]
The above verse of the
Holy Quràn is one of
those verses that express
the special kindness and
munificence of Allah on
Munir Ahmad Mughal
(
). Abu
Muhammad Makki
stated the beginning of this
verse is like the beginning
of the royal expression
such as Aslahakallahu wa
aàzzakallahu (May Allah
better your condition and
may Allah bless you with
honour). In other words,
the use of such words that
are the words of a prayer
for another, shows the
affection of the addresser
towards the addressee, and
Munir Ahmad Mughal
also his (addressees)
special closeness (to the
addresser) and holding
high office.
According to Àun bin
Àbdullah (Allahs mercy
be on him) in this verse
before mentioning the
apparent slip, the glad
tiding of its forgiveness has
been pronounced. Imam
be on him) has stated on
the authority of some
persons that this verse
means O Blessed with
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Security of heart, Allah has
forgiven you. Why had you
granted them permission
Imam Samarqandi
further stated that had the

) been asked
in the beginning as to why
he had granted them
permission, there was
apprehension of bursting of
the breast of him due to the
awful divine speech, hence
the most kind Lord gave
the good news of
Munir Ahmad Mughal
forgiveness first and
thereafter questioned as to
why they were granted
permission by him. If you
had not permitted them to
remain behind and would
have heard the excuse of
each one of them and
would have allowed the
truth and false hood to
become apparent, the
secret of their false excuses
would have become
manifest.
This style of speech
proves that the Messenger
Munir Ahmad Mughal
of Allah (
) possesses so great a
station in the court of Allah
that is not hidden on any
prudent person. This
glorious verse shows that
the kindness and grants of
Allah on the Messenger of
Allah (
)
are so much and to such
extent that a human being
is unable to know their
limits.
Imam Abu Àbdullah
Muhammad bin Ibrahim
bin Muhammad
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Naftawiyah (Allahs mercy
be on him) stated that some
persons considered that in
this verse there is a
reference to the
disapproval of Allah on his

) but they are

not justified in their
consideration as the

) is
absolutely free from any
blame as he was invested
with the authority to make
any decision in the said
Munir Ahmad Mughal
matter. The fact was only
this much that the

) had
permitted the hypocrite to
remain behind and Allah
Almighty told him that had
the hypocrites been not
allowed to stay behind they
would have even then state
behind in their houses and
now when the said
permission had been
granted this is not
incorrect.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Hafiz al-Hadith, Imam,
Allamah Qadi Abu al-Fadl
Iyad (Allahs mercy be on
him) by the grace of Allah
says that it is obligatory
upon every Muslim that he
should fully struggle to
attain the pleasure of Allah
and this can be done by
conducting himself in the
manner prescribed by
Shariàh, adorn his morals
with Quranic injunctions,
discipline his words and
actions and dealing with
others with the Quranic
Munir Ahmad Mughal
directions. Such a
behaviour alone is an
element of real knowledge
and a garden of bliss in this
world and the world to
come.
While making a
supplication before the
Lord of the universe the
wonderful kindness must
be remembered as
mentioned in the above
glorious verse and it should
be pondered upon that
Allah Almighty is ever
granting his favours upon
Munir Ahmad Mughal
the creation and He is
independent of any want. It
should also be pondered
upon that how gracefully
he has begun his speech
that the forgiveness has
been mentioned prior to
any question. Further it is
in a state where a conduct
may be questionable at any
stage of it.

Munir Ahmad Mughal
And had we not made
You stand firm, You
would nearly have
inclined to them a little.
[17:74]
Some scholastics
(Mutakallimin) are of
the view that Allah
Almighty addressed
other Prophets (Peace be
on all of them) in the
way that their errors
were mentioned first
while the Last

) was
Munir Ahmad Mughal
addressed prior to the
happening of any error
so that he may remain
away from any error and
may take full care of the
conditions of love. This
fact indicates the extreme
favour of Allah
Almighty.
Consider the fact that
Allah Almighty first of
all mentioned the
security of the

) and
thereafter mentioned the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
thing questioned
regarding which there
could be an apprehension
of any inclination. All
glory is to Allah. During
the course of mention of
the question, the release
from any charge is being
declared and in the
valley of fear he is being
kept secure and
honourable.
Allah Almighty says :
Munir Ahmad Mughal

:
:
33
We know indeed the
grief which their words
cause you [O
Muhammad (

) ]: It is not you
that they deny, but it is
the Verses (the Qur'n)
of Allh that the Zlimn
Munir Ahmad Mughal
(polytheists and
wrongdoers) deny.
[6: 33]
Hadrat Àli al-
Murtada (Allahs pleasure
be on him) stated that Abu
Jahl had submitted to the

) : We dont
falsify you but we deny
that which you have
brought before us (i.e.
Holy Quràn) and at that
time the above verse was
revealed.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
It is also narrated that
when the people did not
believe in the Messenger of
Allah (
),
he felt much grieved by
their response. At that
moment Hadrat Jibraìl
(Peace be upon him) came
and submitted, O

) ! What has
grieved you ?
(
) said:
My people have
disbelieved me.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Hadrat Jibraìl (Peace
be upon him) submitted :
O Messenger of Allah
(
) ! Do
they really know that you
are the true messenger ?.
At that moment the
above glorious verse of the
Holy Quràn was revealed.
Imam Allamah Qadi
Iyad (May Allah Sanctify
his secret) says that Allah
Almighty has adopted a
very subtle style of
condoling and giving
solace and satisfaction to
Munir Ahmad Mughal
his favourite the

) and has
addressed him in a very
kind and affectionate
manner. The reason is that
he being the most truthful
person (Al-Sadiq) was an
excepted fact even among
the disbelievers therefore
they could not refute that
fact as they admitted and
declared that fact by the
words and from their
hearts. They admitted him
the most trustworthy (al-
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Amin) and having that
attribute fully. By the
above address Allah
Almighty removed the
shock suffered by him on
account of the attitude of
the disbelievers. After that
Allah Almighty declared
those who were
disbelieving the Messenger
of Allah (
) as the unjust persons

who were denying the
signs of Allah (revealed in
the Holy Quràn).
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Thus on the one side the

) was
declared free of all charges
levelled by the disbelievers
and on the other hand those
who did not believe in the
Holy Quràn were declared
enemy of God as the way
they had adopted was the
most unjustified. They
knew a thing as true and
even then they denied it.
Munir Ahmad Mughal

14
And they belied them

(those Ayt) wrongfully
and arrogantly, though
their ownselves were
convinced thereof [i.e.
those (Ayt) are from
Allh, and Msa (Moses)
is the Messenger of Allh
In truth, but they disliked
to obey Msa (Moses), and
Munir Ahmad Mughal
hated to believe In his
message of Monotheism].
So see what was the end of
the Mufsidn (disbelievers,
disobedient to Allh, evil-
doers, liars.) .
[27:14]
Thereafter the Prophets
of God (Peace be on all of
them) who had been sent
prior to the last Messenger
of Allah (
) were mentioned to
give solace and satisfaction
to him and Allahs help
was also promised.

occurring in verse [VI:33]
means :
They do not find you
as false.
Imam Fara` and Imam
Kisaì (Allahs mercy be
on both of them) have
stated that the verse means
:
O My favourite !
When did they state that
you are false.
It has also been stated
that the verse means :
Munir Ahmad Mughal
They can neither bring
any argument nor they can
prove it that there is any
false hood in you.
According to those who
have read the Zal of the
word Yukazzibunaka with a
Tashdid on it they say that
it means :-
They dont attribute
false hood to you
It is also stated that the
word means :
They do not bear the
belief that you are false.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
One of the specific
attributes of the Messenger
of Allah (
) by which Allah
Almighty has honoured
him is that all other
Prophets were addressed in
the Holy Quràn by name
as
Ya Adamu (O Adam)
Peace be upon him
Ya Nuhu (O Noaha)
Peace be upon him
Ya Ibrahimu (O
Abraham) Peace be
upon him
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Ya Musa (O Moses)
Peace be upon him
Ya Dawudu (O David)
Peace be upon him
Ya Ìsa (O Jesus)
Peace be upon him
Ya Zakariyya (O
Zakariyya) Peace be upon
him
Ya Yahya (O Yahya)
Peace be upon him
but the Messenger of
Allah (
) was addressed
with titles such as :
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Ya ayyuhar-Rasulu
O Messenger
Ya ayyuhan-Nabiyyu
O Prophet
Ya ayyuhal-
Muzzammilu O Folded in
Garments
Ya ayyuhal-

The oath of the life of
( )
Munir Ahmad Mughal
mentioned in the Holy
Quràn
_

72
72. Verily, by Your life [O
Muhammad(

) ] in their wild
intoxication, they were
wandering blindly.
[15:72]
All exegesists agree
that in the above verse the
oath of the life span of the
Munir Ahmad Mughal

) has been
mentioned. Although the
letter ayn of umr carries a
dammah but by the
excessive use it carries a
fathah on it. In this form it
means, O Muhammad, by
the token of your survival.
It is also stated that it
means, By the token of
your being present. It is
also stated that it means,
By the token of your life.
This is the highest degree
Munir Ahmad Mughal
of respect and the extreme
degree of honour.
Àbbas ( )
said: Allah Almighty has
not created any big or
small thing that may be
more honourable and
respectful than the

) and I have
not heard that Allah
Almighty had taken the
oath of the life of any one
else.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Abu al-Jawaz (Allahs
that Allah Almighty did
not take oath of the life of
any one besides the Hadrat
Muhammad, the

) as he is the
more honoured than all the
creation in the sight of
Allah.

Munir Ahmad Mughal

Y-Sn. [These letters are

one of the miracles of the
Qur'n, and none but Allh
(Alone) knows their
meanings.]
By the Qur'n, full of
wisdom (i.e. full of laws,
evidences, and proofs) ,
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Truly, You (O
Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam) are one
of the Messengers,
On a Straight Path (i.e.
on Allh's Religion of
Islmic Monotheism) .
[36: 1to 4]
The word Ya Sin has
been interpreted by the
interpreters of the Holy
Quràn differently. Abu
Muhammad Makki
has stated that it is
transmitted on the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
authority of the Messenger
of Allah (
) that he said, In the

sight of Allah there are ten
names of mine. The two of
those names are Ta Ha
and Ya Sin.
Abu Àbd al-Rahman
Sulami (Allahs mercy be
on him) has transmitted on
the authority of Imam Jafr
Sadiq (Allahs pleasure be
on him) that the word Ya
Sin is an address of the
Munir Ahmad Mughal

) meaning
Ya Sayyid(O Leader ) .
According to Hadrat
Àbdullah bin Àbbas (
) this term is an
address to the Messenger
of Allah (
) which means: O
Perfect Man.
It is also stated that it is
an oath and it is one of the
Good Names of Allah.
Zujaj (Allahs mercy be
on him) stated that it
means, Ya Muhammad(O
Muhammad) [Peace and
Munir Ahmad Mughal
him].
Some have given the
meaning of this term as the
Perfect Individual and
some have given the
meaning of it as the Perfect
Human Being.
It is narrated on the
authority of Imam
Muhammad bin al-
Hanafiyyah (Allahs
pleasure be on him) that he
said that the meaning of
the term Ya Sin is Ya
Muhammad.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
It is narrated on the
authority of Ka`b Ahbar
him) that the word Ya
Sin is an oath. By this
word Allah Almighty had
two thousand years prior to
the creation of the heavens
and the earth had taken the
oath that O Muhammad,
verily you are from among
the messengers and there
after Allah Almighty said,
By the token of the full of
wisdom Quran you are
Munir Ahmad Mughal
definitely from the group
of the messengers.
If it is accepted that this
word is one of the Good
Names of the Holy Prophet
(
) or it is
admitted that it is a word of
oath, in both the cases it
contains the greatest
respect for the Messenger
of Allah (
) referred to above. The

conjunction of the second
oath on it makes the oath
further stressed. If this
word is considered as a
Munir Ahmad Mughal
letter of call even then
there is an oath after it
where by the messenger
ship of Hadrat Muhammad
(
) is
being established and
evidence is being given to
the fact that he is the true
Guide. As Allah Almighty
has taken oath of his sacred
name and his sacred Book
and then said, you are
definitely from among the
group of the messengers
and you are one of those
who convey the message of
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Allah to his servants and
by your prophetic belief
you are on the straight path
that is a path in which there
is neither any deviation nor
any denial of the truth.
Naqqash (Allahs mercy
be on him) said that Allah
Almighty has not taken
oath in his Book in respect
of the messengership of
any of the Prophets except

) and in it
there is te greatest and the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
highest honour and respect
of Messenger of Allah
(
) .
The interpretation is par
excellence where by it is
stated that the word Ya Sin
means Ya Sayyidu. In this
meaning there exists the
explicite respect and
honour of the Messenger of
Allah (
)
as he himself said: I am the
Leader of all the progeny
of Adam, and I do not say
it proudly.

Munir Ahmad Mughal

I swear by This city

(Makkah) ;
And You are free (from
sin, to Punish the enemies
of Islm on the Day of the
conquest) In This city
(Makkah) ,
Munir Ahmad Mughal
And by the begetter (i.e.
Adam) and that which He
begot (i.e. his progeny) ;
[90: 1 to 3]
In the interpretation of
this gloriuos verse it is
stated that after your
departure I do not take the
oath of this City. This has
been stated by Imam
Makki (Allahs mercy be
on him). It is also stated
that the word la is extra
and the meaning is I take
the oath of this city and for
you to reside in this city is
Munir Ahmad Mughal
lawful or what ever you do
in this city it is lawful for
you. According to both
the interpretations, the city
refers to Makkah
Muazzamah.
Imam Wasiti (Allahs
that the verse means: I
remember the oath of the
city to which you shall
have your holy enterance
and will honour it by
your life and death. The
said city is al-Madinah
al-Munawwarah.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Qadi Ìyad
(rahmatullahi àlayh)
says that the first view is
more valid (i.e. the city
refers to the city of
Makkah Muazzamah) as
the Quranic Chapter
[No.90] named: al-Balad
is Makki with refrence to
its place and time of
revelation. The words
following that is hillun bi
hazal-balad is testifying
the first view.
Like this Ibn Ata in
his Tafseer while
Munir Ahmad Mughal
interpreting the words of
Allah, wa hazal-
baladil-amin said that
due to the stay and
residence of the

) Allah
Almighty had made the
place of his stay as a
place of Peace. Thus
wherever he the

) stayed
that place is the place of
Peace as the said place
has an attachment with
Munir Ahmad Mughal
(
).
There after the Quranic
verse is wa walidinwa
ma walada. Here those
commentators who have
taken the meaning of the
word walid as a
reference to Hadrat
Adam (Peace be upon
him) that is due to the
generality of the
fatherhood of Hadrat
Adam, the Abu al-
bashar. Some
commentators have
Munir Ahmad Mughal
stated that the words wa
ma walada do, by the
leave of Allah, refer to
Hadrat Muhammad the

) .
In this chapter (al-
Balad) there is reference
towards the Messenger
of Allah (
) at two places.

:
'

Munir Ahmad Mughal
1. Alif-Lm-Mm. [These
letters are one of the
miracles of the Qur'n and
none but Allh (Alone)
knows their meanings].
2. This is the Book (the
Qur'n), whereof there is
no doubt, a guidance to
those who are Al-Muttaqn
[the pious and righteous
persons who fear Allh
much (abstain from All
kinds of sins and evil deeds
which He has forbidden)
and love Allh much
(perform All kinds of good
Munir Ahmad Mughal
deeds which He has
ordained) ].
[2: 1 and 2]
Àbbas ( )
said: The letters alif, lam,
mim are the oath letters by
means of which Allah has
taken oath. There are other
statements regarding these
abbreviated letters of Ibn
Àbbas and others. Hadrat
Sahl bin Àbdullah al-
Tustari (Allah's pleasure be
on him) said that the letter
alif refers to Allah
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Almighty, the letter lam
refers to Jibrail (Peace be
upon him) and the letter
mim refers to
Muhammad, the

).
Imam Samarqandi has
also narrated the above
statement but he has not
attributed this statenment
ot Hadrat Sahl bin
Abdullah al-Tustari and
has given its meanings that
Allah Almighty has
revealed this Holy Quran
Munir Ahmad Mughal
through Jibrail Amin on

) in which
there is no doubt.
Regarding the first
meaning that it carries the
meaning of oath it would
mean, This Book (i.e. the
Holy Quràn) is true in
which there is no doubt.
Regarding the second
meaning it carries the
superiority that Allah
Almighty the Lord of
Honour has combined His
Munir Ahmad Mughal
own Name with the name
of His favourite. The
details of which have
already been given above.

Qf. [These letters (Qf,

etc.) are one of the
miracles of the Qur'n,
and none but Allh
(Alone) knows their
meanings].
[50:1]
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Ibn Ata (Allahs mercy
be on him) interpreted the
above Qurànic verse as
under:
By the token of the
strength of the heart of my
favourite Hadrat
Muhammad, the

), who had
borne the address and
observation of his Lord and
due to his high state did not
go out of control.
An other statement is
that Qaf is one of the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
names of the Holy Quràn.
Still an other statement is
that it is one of the good
Names of Allah Almighty.
Still further it is stated that
it is the name of the
mountain that has encircled
the whole earth. There are
many other statement in
respect of the intepretion of
this word.

By the star when it goes

down, (or vanishes) .
Munir Ahmad Mughal
[53:1]
Imam Jafar Sadiq bin
Imam Muhammad Baqir
them) said that the above
verse refers to Hadrat
Muhammad(

).
An other statement is
that the word al-Najm
[

]refers to the sacred
heart of the Messenger of
Allah (
)
and the word the hawa
refers to the filling of the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
sacred heart with the divine
lights.
Still an other statement is
that the word hawa [
]
means the disconnection of
the sacred heart from all
besides Allah.

By the dawn;
By the ten nights (i.e. the
first ten days of the month
of Dhul-Hjjah) .
[89:1 and 2]
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Ibn Ata, in his Tafsir,
under the interpretation of
the above verse of Holy
Quràn stated that the word
al-fajr refers to Hadrat
Muhammad, the

fountains of the belief
spring up from him.

By the forenoon (after
sun-rise) ;
And by the night when
it is still (or darkens) ;
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Your Lord (O
Muhammad (Sal-
Allaahu 'alayhe Wa
Sallam) ) has neither
forsaken You nor hated
you.
And indeed the
Hereafter is better for
You than the present
(life of This world) .
And Verily, Your Lord
will give You (all i.e.
good) so that You shall
be well-pleased.
Did He not find You (O
Muhammad (Sal-
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Allaahu 'alayhe Wa
Sallam) ) an orphan and
gave You a refuge?
And He found You
unaware (of the Qur'n,
its legal laws, and
Prophethood, etc.) and
guided you?
And He found You
poor, and made You
rich (selfsufficient with
selfcontentment, etc.) ?
Therefore, treat not the
orphan with oppression,
Munir Ahmad Mughal
And repulse not the
beggar.
[93: 1-10]
There is difference of
opinion as to the occasion
of revelation of this
chapter. One view is that
(
) had
abandoned standing in
prayer during the night due
to some just excuse and a
person made a critical
remark about it. Another
view is that the revelation
had stopped for a few days
Munir Ahmad Mughal
and the polytheist started
uttering uncalled for words
and to stop their false
propaganda this chapter
was revealed.
Imam Qadi Ìyad
says that in this chapter
manifest the honour and
respect of the Messenger of
Allah (
)
in six ways.
1. Allah Almighty
informed about the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
state of His favourite
Messenger by saying:
Wal-duha,
Wal-layli iza saja
By the Glorious
Morning Light
And by the Night
When it is still.
[XCIII : 1 - 2]
That is by the Lord of the
Noon and the Night or by
the countenance bright like
noon and by the hairs as
black as night of the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
favourite messenger. By
taking oath by Allah
Almighty himself to create
certainty shows the
extreme superiority and
honour and respect of the

) .
2. The great office and
the high esteem of the
Messenger of Allah
(
)
has been shown by the
divine words:
Ma waddaàka
rabbuka wa ma qala
Munir Ahmad Mughal
The Guardian Lord
Hath not forsaken thee,
Nor is He displeased.
[XCIII : 3]
Another interpretation of
this verse is that after
having chosen you from
amongst the whole
creation, how can you be
forsaken.
3. Allah Almighty
says:
Wa lal-akhiratu
khayrun laka minal-
ula
Munir Ahmad Mughal
And verily the
hereafter
Will be better for thee
Than the present.
[XCIII : 4]
Ibn Ishaq (Allahs mercy
be on him) stated that the
above glorious verse says:
O Messenger of Allah
(
) !
Your station in the
hereafter shall be more
majestic due to the
manifestation of your
Munir Ahmad Mughal
honour and respect than the
worldly station.
Hadrat Sahal bin
Àbdullah al-Tasturi
stated that the verse means:
As the intercession and
the most praised station
has been made specific
for you, hence your life
in the hereafter shall be
better than your life in
this world.
4. Allah Almighty
says:
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Wa la saufa yu`tika
rabbuka fa tar da
And soon will thy
Guardian Lord give
thee
(That wherewith) thou
Shalt be well-pleased.
[XCIII : 5]
This glorious verse is all
exhaustive of the honours,
bliss, and multiple favours.
Ibn Ishaq (Allahs
the meaning of this verse
is:
Munir Ahmad Mughal
You will be well
pleased by grant of
success in this world and
reward in the hereafter.
Some others have given the
meaning:
You will be well
pleased by the grant of
al-Shafaàh (the
Intercession) and al-
Haud al-Kauthar (the
Pond of Abundance) .
Some of the family
members of the Holy
Prophet (Al al-Nabi)
(Peace and blessing of
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Allah be upon him)
narrated that there is no
other verse of the Holy
Quran making hopeful
than this and the

) shall not be
pleased if a single person
from among his ummat
remaining in the Fire.
5. In this chapter,
Allah Almighty has
mentioned those of His
favours and gifts with
which the Messenger
of Allah (
Munir Ahmad Mughal

) was blessed.
After that is the
mention of the great
office of and the
guidance given to the
creation by the
Messenger of Allah
(
), as
have been differently
mentioned in the
interpretation thereof
by the Mufassirin.
Further this fact is also
mentioned that he had
no property and was
bestowed with so much
Munir Ahmad Mughal
of it that he became
independent or his
sacred heart was filled
with contentment that
made him independent.
He was an orphan and
his real uncle Abu
Talib was made kind
and affectionate to him
who gave shelter and
took care of him.
Another interpretation of
this verse has been given
as under:
Did Allah not find you
in a state that through
Munir Ahmad Mughal
you provided guidance to
the one going astray,
sufficiency to the needy
and shelter to the
orphan.
It has become known by
the interpretations that
when Allah Almighty had
not forsaken His favourite
Messenger (
) as helpless in his
childhood that was a period
of apparently helplessness
and orphanage, how it
could be that he will
forsake you when he has
Munir Ahmad Mughal
chosen you form among
the entire creation and
made you His favourite.
6. Allah Almighty
directed to His
favourite Messenger
(
) to
express and mention
the favours with which
Allah Almighty has
blessed him and offer
thanks of the high
office with which Allah
Almighty has invested
him by fully
disseminating His
Munir Ahmad Mughal
message among the
whole mankind, as
Wa amma bi ni`mati
rabbika fahaddith
But the bounty
Of thy Lord
Rehearse and
proclaim.
[XCIII : 11]
The reason is that the
mention of favour is also
one of the many ways of
offering thanks. This
direction is specific for the
Munir Ahmad Mughal

) and general
for his Ummah.
To show the above said
superiority of the

), Allah
Almighty also says:
By the Star
When it goes down,
Your Companion is
neither
Astray nor being
misled,
Nor does he say (aught)
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Of (his own) Desire.
It is no less than
Inspiration sent down
to him:
He was taught by one
Mighty in Power,
Endued with Wisdom:
For he appeared
(In stately form)
While he was in
The highest part
Of the horizon:
Then he approached
Munir Ahmad Mughal
And came closer,
And was at a distance
Of but two bow-lengths
Or (even) nearer;
So did Allah convey
The inspiration to His
Servant
(Conveyed) what He
(meant)
To convey.
The (Prophets mind
and) heart
In no way falsified
That which he saw?
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Will ye then dispute
With him concerning
What he saw?
For indeed he saw him
At a second descent,
Near the Lote-tree
Beyond which none
may pass:
Near it is the Garden
Of Abode.
Behold, the Lote-tree
Was shrouded
(In mystery
unspeakable!)
Munir Ahmad Mughal
(His) sight never
swerved,
Nor did it go wrong!
For truly did he see,
Of the Signs of His
Lord,
The Greatest!

There is conflict among
the exegesists regarding
the interpretation of the
Quranic term wal-Najm.
One view is that it is on
its apparent meaning.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Another view is that it
refers to the Holy Quran
as it was also revealed
gradually.
The view of Imam
Ja`far Sadiq (Allah's
pleasure be on him) is that
it refers to Our leader
Muhammad, the

) .
The view of Sahl bin
Àbdullah al-Tasturi
him) is that it refers to the
heart of the chosen one
Munir Ahmad Mughal
(the Messenger of Allah
(
) ) .
According to Imam
Abu Àbd al-Rahman al-
Sulami (Allah's pleasure be
on him), in the following
verses of the Holy Quran,
the term al-Najm also
refers to the Messenger of
Allah (
)
:
Wal-samai wal-
tariqi
Wa ma adraka mal-
tariqi
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Al-Najmul-thaqib.
By the Sky
And the Night-Visitant

And what will explain

What the Night-Visitant
is?
(It is) the Star
Of piercing
brightness;
[LXXXVI : 1-3]
Munir Ahmad Mughal
,
: :
[86: 1-3]
The verses of the chapter
of the Star (al-Najm)
mention so much
superiorities of the

) that to state
the details thereof is
beyond the pen and the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
lips. Allah Almighty has
taken the oath of His
favourite being the Guide.
Further, the oath has been
taken of the fact that His
favourite is free from all
vain desires of the self and
full of truth and honesty.
Still further, it was said
that whatever his favourite
recited that was certainly
the Divine revelation.
Hadrat Jibrail (Peace be
upon him), who is mighty
in power and honest and
trustworthy, has brought
Munir Ahmad Mughal
the Divine Message to the

) from Allah
Almighty.
After mentioning the
above facts, Allah
Almighty has mentioned
the superiority with which
(
) was
blessed by means of
Ascension (Al-Mi`raj) and
mentioned his reaching the
Lote-tree (beyond which
none may pass). The sight
of the favourite has been
Munir Ahmad Mughal
appreciated with most
befitting words. The
perfections and signs
observed by the favourite
were also mentioned.
The early events of the
Ascension have also been
mentioned in the chapter
Banu Israil in the holy
Quran.
The facts unveiled to the

) from al-
Àlam al-Jabarut and the
wonders of al-Àlam al-
Malakut seen by the
Munir Ahmad Mughal

) cannot be
encompassed by the pen
and the lips. The intellects
are helpless to their hearing
and comprehending. Hence
those have been mentioned
by Allah Almighty
allegorically, which is a
proof of greatness and
majesty of an affair. Allah
Almighty says:
Fa auha ila àbdihi ma
auha
So did Allah convey
Munir Ahmad Mughal
The inspiration to His
Servant
(Conveyed) what He
(meant)
To convey.
_ _

[53 : 10]
Such a speech has been
named by the people of
eloquence as wahyi
(revelation) and isharah
(signal). According to
them, such a speech is the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
most eloquent and lucid in
the field of comprehension.
La qad raa min ayati
rabbihil-kubra
For truly did he see,
Of the Signs of his
Lord,
The Greatest!

[53: 18]
Munir Ahmad Mughal
In other words, such facts
were revealed unto him
which were beyond the
comprehension of all the
intellects and he saw the
great signs of Divine
power, regarding the
comprehension of which
the intellects are wonder
struck.
Abu al-Fadl Qadi Ìyad
says that the above verses
show the fact that in the
said journey by the night
(asra). Allah Almighty had
Munir Ahmad Mughal
purified the heart of his
favourite perfectly and
made it secure and
protected from all sorts of
invasions and also purified
the heart, the tongue and
the sacred limbs as is
mentioned in the following
ma kazabal-fuadu

The Prophets mind
and heart
In no way falsified
That which he saw.

divine speech is such that

a distinguished messenger
who is holding a very high
office in the court of Allah
who has full power to carry
the Divine Message fully
and he remains standing at
a high station waiting to

and the heavenly creation

reference to Our Leader

the attributes following

following these words shall
also be a reference to the
Arch Angel Jibrail((Peace
be upon him) .
There are two views
regardin the meanings of
the words wa la qad raa
hu. According to one view
Munir Ahmad Mughal
he( the Messenger of Allah
(
) saw
his Lord. The other view is
that he (the Messenger of
Allah (
)
saw Hadrat Jibrail((Peace
be upon him) in original
form.
The Quranic words wa
ma huwa ala-l-ghaybi bi
zaninin means My
favourite is not blamed in
the matter of the unseen.
Those who read dad
instead of za they say it
means : My favourite
Munir Ahmad Mughal
does not withhold any
unseen knowledge and the
instruction relating to
divine injunctions or divine
lessons.
All the mufassirin agree
that this is the attribute of

[68 : 1-16]
In the beginning of this
chapter, Allah Almighty
has taken a great oath in
respect of the pure
character of the Messenger
Munir Ahmad Mughal
of Allah (
). As the disbelievers
attributed falsehood
towards him and also
committed acts of
contempt and injury to
him, therefore, for the
pleasure of the favourite,
grace of speech and as a
perfect kindness Allah
Almighty said:
Ma anta bi ni`mati
rabbika bi majnun.
Thou art not,
By the Grace of thy
Lord,
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Mad or possessed.

[68 : 2-3]
This speech is full of
love as an address and the
highest respect as an
idiomatic expression.
Thereafter, Allah
Almighty has mentioned
those permanent favours
and unending reward with
which he has distinguished
Munir Ahmad Mughal
His favourite, the

). Those are
countless yet without any
obligation. Rather further
good news has been given:
Wa inna laka la ajrun
ghayru mamnun.

Nay, verily for thee

Is a reward unfailing.
[68: 3]
Some Mufassirin while
interpreting the above
Munir Ahmad Mughal
verse have said that his
morals were the Holy
Quran. The others stated
that it refers to his
Peaceful, secure, and
straight nature. Still some
others have stated that his
objective is Allah, the Lord
of Honour. Imam Wasity
has said that the manner in
which the Messenger of
Allah (
)
has paid respect to the
favours of Allah that
manner has been praised
by Allah and due to that
Munir Ahmad Mughal
great thanksgiving He
blessed him with
superiority over others.
How it had not been so
when the great morals were
his nature.
Glorified is He who
himself is All-Kind,
Beneficent, Generous and
rendering the doing of
good easy for His servant
and inclines him towards
the excellence and to adopt
it, and when he adopts He
appreciates him.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
All praise is to Him
who has made his blessings
and favours so widened
and general and thereafter
gave satisfaction of
fulfilment of his promise
which was regarding the
final success of the

) and the
punishment of the
disbelievers. Allah
Almighty says:
Fasa tubsiru wa
yubsirun.
Munir Ahmad Mughal

Soon will thou see

And they will see.
[LXVIII : 5]
In the above three verses,
Allah Almighty has
mentioned the praise of the

) and the bad

morals and condemnation
of the enemy of the

). Ten bad
morals of the contemner
Munir Ahmad Mughal
have been disclosed in the
chapter of The Pen (Surah
al-Qalam) starting from
verse 8 to 15 and his
consequence has been
mentioned in verse 16 with
the words
Sanasimuhu àlal-
khurtum
x

Soon shall We brand
(The beast) on the
snout.
[LXVIII : 16]
Munir Ahmad Mughal
The help of God to the

) is more
important and perfect than
his helping himself. The
refutation of the enemy of
(
) by
Allah Almighty Himself is
the most reaching and
significant than the
refutation of the said
enemy by the Messenger of
Allah (
)
himself. By it, a new and
novel chapter stood added
Munir Ahmad Mughal
to the book of superiority
and perfection of the

), i.e., the
servant has been defended
by the Lord Himself.
Section 6
Kindness and Favours
of Allah on His
Favourite, the
Messenger of Allah
( )
Expressing kindness and
favours on His favourite
Munir Ahmad Mughal

), Allah
Almighty says:

1. Ta-Ha.
2. we have not sent down
the Qur'an to Thee to be
(an occasion) for Thy
distress,
[20: 1 and 2]
The word Ta Ha has been
interpreted in many ways.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Firstly, it is stated that it
is one of the Good Names
(Al-Asma al-Husna) of the

) .
Secondly, it is stated that
it is one of the Good
Names of Allah Almighty.
Thirdly, it is stated that it
means Ya Rajulu (O Man!)
.
Fourthly, it is stated that
it means Ya Insanu (O
Human being!) .
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Fifthly, it is stated that it
is one of the Abbreviated
Letters (huruf muqattaàt),
the meanings of which are
known best to Allah
Almighty and His
Messenger (
) .
Sixthly, it is stated by
Imam Wasity (Allahs
mercy be on him) that it
means Ya Tahiru (O
Pure!), Ya Hadiyu (O
Guide!) .
Seventhly, it is stated
that it is an imperative of
Munir Ahmad Mughal
the verb watia and Ha is a
metaphor for the earth and
thus it means Stand (in
the night in the prayer) on
both the legs and do not
put yourself to
inconvenience by standing
on one leg as Allah
Almighty has immediately,
after the words Ta Ha has
said:
Ma anzalna àlaikal-
Qurana li tashqa.
Munir Ahmad Mughal

We have not sent down

The Quran to thee to be
(An occasion) for thy
distress.
[XX : 2]
The occasion of
revelation of these glorious
verses was that the

) had started
awakening the whole night,
Munir Ahmad Mughal
and was putting himself to
great distress during his
standing in prayer in the
nights.
Qadi Abu Àbdullah
Muhammad bin Àbd al-
Rahman and another, on
the authority of al-Qadi
Abu al-Walid al-Baji by
his leave, and with his own
chain of authorities stated
that to us the hadith was
narrated by Hafiz Abu Zar
to whom it was narrated by
Abu Muhammad Hamawi,
to whom Ibrahim bin
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Khuzaym al-Shashi, to
whom Àbd bin Humayd,
to whom Hashim bin
Qasim, to whom Ja`far bin
Rabi`, to whom Anas bin
Malik, who stated that
when the Messenger of
Allah (
)
stood in prayer, he used to
stand on one leg and raised
up the other leg. At that
time the revelation came:
Ta Ha, [ya`ni Tail-
arda ya Muhammadu]
ma anzalna àlaykal-
Qurana li tashqa.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Ta Ha, i.e., [O
Muhammad (Peace and
blessings of Allah be
upon thee) !] Honour the
earth by standing on it on
both legs. We have not
revealed the Holy Quran
to thee to be an occasion
for thy distress.
In the above glorious
verse, the honour and good
dealing expressed by Allah
Almighty is manifest and
nothing has been kept
hidden in this behalf.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
If we take the word Ta
Ha as one of the Good
Names of the Messenger of
Allah (
),
as has also been stated by
some of the Mufassirin
(exegesists) or we count it
as a word of oath, even
then it is a matter of
honour and respect. Similar
respect has been
demonstrated in the
following verse of the Holy
Quran:
Munir Ahmad Mughal
,

6. Thou wouldst only,
perchance, fret Thyself to
death, after them, In grief,
if They believe not In This
Message.
[18:6]
Similar is in the following
verse:
Munir Ahmad Mughal
,
:

3. it may be Thou frettest
Thy soul with grief, that
They do not become
believers.
[26:3]
Regarding the disbelievers
the Divine Revelation
came as under:
Munir Ahmad Mughal
_
:

:

4. if (such) were Our
will, we could send
down to them from the
sky a Sign, to which
They would bend their
necks In humility.
[26:4]
Regarding the same
satisfaction Allah
Almighty says :
Munir Ahmad Mughal

94 b

Munir Ahmad Mughal
_
:
98 _
:

:

99

94. Therefore Expound
openly what Thou art
commanded, and turn away
from those who join false
gods with Allah.
95. for sufficient are we
unto Thee against those
who scoff,-
96. those who adopt, with
Allah, another god: but
soon will They come to
know.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
97. we do indeed know
How Thy heart is
distressed at what They
say.
98. but celebrate the
praises of Thy Lord, and be
of those who prostrate
themselves In adoration.
99. and serve Thy Lord
until there come unto Thee
the Hour that is Certain.
[15:94 to 99]
Like wise Allah Almighty
says
Munir Ahmad Mughal
_
_,
10
10. Mocked were (many)

apostles before thee; but
their scoffers were
hemmed In by the thing
that They mocked.
[6:10]
Imam Makki (Allahs
that by giving such solace
satisfaction to the
Munir Ahmad Mughal

) the burden
that was continuously
falling on his sacred heart
was lightened and it was
also made manifest that the
way those people were
following due to their
malice and caprice will
result in bringing their
condemnation as the
people of their category in
the past were condemned.
Munir Ahmad Mughal

4. and if They reject thee,
so were apostles rejected
before thee: to Allah back
for decision all affairs.
[35:4]
Munir Ahmad Mughal
_ _
52
52. Similarly, no apostle

came to the Peoples before
them, but They said (of
him) In like manner, "A
sorcerer, or one
possessed"!
[51:52]
In the above verse the
Allah Almighty has
mentioned the bitter replies
Munir Ahmad Mughal
and uncalled for response
of the past people who had
misbehaved with their
Prophets (Peace be on all
of them). Therefore, the
misbehaviour of the
disbelievers of Makkah
with the Messenger of
Allah (
)
was not a new thing.
Thereafter in order to
please the heart of the

) he is being
directed:
Munir Ahmad Mughal

54
54. so turn away from

them: not Thine is the
blame.
[51:54]
That is O Prophet of Allah!
you should turn away your
face from the disbelievers.
As you have not committed
any inefficiency in the
matter of conveying the
Message of Allah which
was your function and
duty, you are perfectly
blameless.
Munir Ahmad Mughal

:

48. Now await In patience

the command of Thy Lord:
for Verily Thou art In Our
eyes: and celebrate the
praises of Thy Lord the
while Thou standest forth,
[52:48]
Munir Ahmad Mughal
That is O My Favourite
Prophet! Observe patience
over the afflictions of the
disbelievers. Our mercy is
ever attentive towards you
and our protection is
sufficient for you.
There are many other
verses in which Allah
Almighty has given such
satisfaction to the

).
Section 7
The Ranks of the
Messenger of Allah
Munir Ahmad Mughal
( ) as
compared to the other
Prophets (Peace be on
all of them)
In this section those verses
of the Holy Quran will be
reproduced that tell that the
rank and status of the

) is at the
climax as compared to all
other Prophets (Peace be
on all of them) .
Allah Almighty says
Munir Ahmad Mughal

_
:

_ b
:
81
Munir Ahmad Mughal
81. Behold! Allah took
the Covenant of the
prophets, saying: "I
give you a Book and
Wisdom; then comes to
you an apostle,
confirming what is with
you; do ye believe In
Him and render Him
help." Allah said: "Do
ye agree, and take This
My Covenant As
binding on you?" They
said: "We agree." He
said: "Then bear
witness, and I am with
Munir Ahmad Mughal
you among the
witnesses."
[3:81]
Imam Abu al-Hasan
Qabisi (Allahs mercy be
on him) stated that that
great superiority with
which the Messenger of
Allah (
)
was blessed was such with
which no other Prophet
was blessed. This fact has
been stated in the above
verse.
According to some
exegesists Allah Almighty
Munir Ahmad Mughal
had taken promise from
Hadrat Jibraìl (Peace be
upon him) that as and
when he will take the
revelation to any Prophet
he shall mention the last

) before him
and after disclosing the
superiorities and
perfections of the last

) should take
a promise that if he finds
the period of Ahmad
Mujtaba Muhammad
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Mustafa (
), he shall have to
believe in him.
According to some
other exegesists a covenant
was also taken from all the
Prophets (Peace be on all
of them) that they shall
narrate the attributes of the
last Messenger of Allah
(
) before
their respective people and
get a covenant from them
that they shall further tell
to those people who come
after them the superiorities
Munir Ahmad Mughal
(
) and
shall continue reciting his
name in their sermons.
The addressee of the
address Thumma Ja
akum Rasulun were the
People of the Book who
were present during the
sacred period of the

) .
Hadrat Ali (Allahs
that Allah Almighty had
taken the covenant from all
Munir Ahmad Mughal
the Prophets from Hadrat
Adam to Hadrat Ìsa (
) that if they find the
(
) they
shall have to believe in him
and they shall have to
accord all sorts of help to
him and they shall have to
take the covenant of doing
so even from their own
respective people.
Imam Sudi and Hadrat
Qitadah (Allahs pleasure
be on them) have also
Munir Ahmad Mughal
narrated a similar narration
that in the above glorious
verse many superiorities of
(
) have
been stated. One such
superiority has been stated
in the Holy Quran in the
following words:
_ b
:
Munir Ahmad Mughal
b
And (remember) when

we took from the
Prophets their covenant,
and from You (O
Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam), and
from Nh (Noah),
Ibrhim (Abraham),
Msa (Moses), and 'Iesa
(Jesus), son of Maryam
(Mary). we took from
them a strong Covenant.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
[33:7]
At an other place in the
Holy Quran, Allah
Almighty says:
w b
:
:
_ _
Munir Ahmad Mughal

Verily, we have inspired

You (O Muhammad ) as
we inspired Nh (Noah)
and the Prophets after him;
we (also) inspired Ibrhim
(Abraham), Ism'il
(Ishmael), Ishque (Isaac),
Ya'qb (Jacob), and
AlAsbt [the twelve sons
of Ya'qb (Jacob) ], 'Iesa
(Jesus), Ayub (Job), Ynus
(Jonah), Hrn (Aaron),
Munir Ahmad Mughal
and Sulaimn (Solomon),
and to Dawd (David) we
gave the Zabr (Psalms) .
[4:163]
Hadrat Ùmar bin al-
Khattab ( )
narrated that once the

) was
weeping and he submitted:
O Messenger of Allah!
may my parents be
sacrificed for thee, what is
the cause of weeping while
your rank in the sight of
Allah Almighty is that he
Munir Ahmad Mughal
sent you after all the
Prophets (àlayhimussalatu
wassalam) but your
mention (zikr) has been
given precedence as Allah
Almighty says:
_ b
:
b
Munir Ahmad Mughal
And (remember) when
we took from the
Prophets their
covenant, and from You
(O Muhammad Sal-
Allaahu 'alayhe Wa
Sallam), and from Nh
(Noah), Ibrhim
(Abraham), Msa
(Moses), and 'Iesa
(Jesus), son of Maryam
(Mary). we took from
them a strong
Covenant. [33:7].
The superiority of
Munir Ahmad Mughal
(

) in the
sight of Allah is such that
its demonstration on the
Day of Judgment will be
seen by all. The Holy
Quran says:
_

66
On the Day when their
faces (Unbeleivers
faces) will be turned
Munir Ahmad Mughal
over in the Fire, they
will say: "Oh, would
that we (the
unbeleivers) had
obeyed Allh and
obeyed [Hadrat
Muhammad (

) ] the
Messenger (of Allah) .
[33:66]
Hadrat Qatadah (Allah's
pleasure be on him) stated
that the Messenger of
Allah (
)
said :
Munir Ahmad Mughal
I am the first in the
matter of creation and the
last among the Prophets.
This is the reason that in
the above verse he has
been mentioned even
before Hadrat Nuh (Peace
be upon him).
Imam Samarqandi (Allahs
that the superiority of our
Prophet (

) over all the other

Prophets (àlayhimussalatu
wassalam) is established. It
is for this reason that
Munir Ahmad Mughal
despite being the last
Prophet (

) he has been
mentioned first of all.
This covenant
(Mithaq/) of Prophets
was obtained by Allah
Almighty after bringing
out all the Prophets from
the Hadrat Adam like ants.
Regarding the superiority
(
) Allah
Almighty says :
Munir Ahmad Mughal

_ _
:
:
_ _
`
Munir Ahmad Mughal
_ _ _

: :

:
:
Those Messengers! We
preferred some to others; to
some of them Allh spoke
(directly) ; others He raised
to degrees (of honour) ;
and to 'Iesa (Jesus), the son
of Maryam (Mary), we
gave clear proofs and
evidences, and supported
Him with Rh-ul-Qudus
Munir Ahmad Mughal
[Jibrael (Gabriel) ]. if
Allh had willed,
succeeding generations
would not have fought
against each other, after
clear Verses of Allh had
come to them, but they
differed - some of them
believed and others
disbelieved. If Allh had
willed, they would not
have fought against one
another, but Allh does
what He likes.
[2:253]
Munir Ahmad Mughal
The exegesists say that the
word bàdu occurring in
the verse wa raf àna
ba`du hum darajatin refers
to the being of the

) as it is only
he (

)
among the entire group of
the Prophets
(àlayhimussalatu
wassalam) who has been
sent as a Prophet towards
all the mankind and the
ghanimat has made lawful
only for him and many
Munir Ahmad Mughal
miracles appeared at his
hand and there is not a
single superiority and
honour that was bestowed
upon other Prophets which
was not bestowed upon
him.
According to some
Mufassirin another
superiority that has been
bestowed upon him in the
above glorious verse is that
the other prophets have
been mentioned with their
names while he has been
addressed with the titles:
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Ya ayyuhannabiyyu

Ya ayyuharrasulu

In the following verse
another attribute is
mentioned as under:
_
83
And, Verily, among those

who followed his [Nh's
(Noah) ] Way (Islmic
Monotheism) was Ibrhim
(Abraham) .
[37:83]
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Imam Samarqandi (
) has narrated on the
authority of Imam Kalbi
( ) that in the
above glorious verse the
pronoun hi refers to the

) and in this
sense the translation will
be that Hadrat Ibrahim
( ) was also on the
religion of [Hadrat
Muhammad (

) ] the Messenger of
Allah.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Qara` has allowed it and
Imam Makki has stated it
from him.
According to some
Mufassirin the pronoun
hi refers to Hadrat Nuh
( ).
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Section 8
The Holy Prophet (
) is the
Repeller of the trials
and he is shower of
mercy

33

Munir Ahmad Mughal
And Allh would not
punish them while you (O
[Hadrat Muhammad (

) ] are
amongst them, nor will He
punish them while they
seek (Allh's) Forgiveness.
[8:33]
When the Holy Prophet
(
)
emigrated from Makkah al-
Mukarramah and some
believers remained behind
Allah Almighty revealed
the verse [8:33] to give
Munir Ahmad Mughal
satisfaction of heart to
them.

The following verse of the
Holy Quran is also like
the same
_
:
Munir Ahmad Mughal

:
:
_

:
_ ,
25
They are the ones who
disbelieved (in the Oneness
of Allh Islmic
Monotheism), and
hindered You from
AlMasjidalHarm (the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
sacred mosque of Makkah)
and the sacrificial animals,
detained from reaching
their place of sacrifice. had
there not been believing
men and believing women
whom You did not know,
that You may kill them,
and on whose account a sin
would have been
committed by You without
(your) knowledge, that
Allh might bring into his
Mercy whom He will, if
they (the believers and the
disbelievers) should have
Munir Ahmad Mughal
been apart, We verily had
punished those of them
who disbelieved, with
painful torment.
[48:25]
When all the believers
emigrated from Makkah al-
Mukarramah Allah
Almighty revealed the
following verse of the Holy
Quran:

Munir Ahmad Mughal

34
And why should not Allh
Punish them while they
stop (men) from Al-
Masjid-al-Harm, and they
are not its guardians? none
can be its guardian except
Al-Muttaqn (the pious -
see V.2:2), but Most of
them know not.
[8:34]
Munir Ahmad Mughal
The above verse shows
the great esteem and
blessing of the Holy
Prophet (
) and from it this fact

has become clear that
Allah Almighty had made
the very existence of the
Holy Prophet (

) the repeller of
punishment for the
disbelievers and when
Holy Prophet (
) migrated from
Makkah al-Mukarramah
Allah Almighty did not
Munir Ahmad Mughal
send punishment upon the
disbelievers due to the
blessings of the believers
but when the companions
of the Holy Prophet
(
) had
all left Makkah al-
Mukarramah then the
punishment was sent upon
the disbelievers and the
Muslims were made to
prevail upon them and the
sword was made the
decider among them and
the Muslims were made to
become the owner of their
Munir Ahmad Mughal
lands, houses and
properties.
There is another
statement explaining this
verse as Qadi Shahid Abu
Àli (Allahs mercy be on
him) has transmitted a
hadith on our authority. He
says, To us narrated
Abul-Fadl bin Khayrun
and Abul-Husayn al-
Sayrafi, they both from
Abu Ya`la bin Hurrah who
from Abu Àli Sijji who
from Muhammad bin
Mahbub Maruzi who from
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Hafiz Abu Ìsa who from
Sufyan bin Waki` who
from Ibn Numayr who
from Ismaìl bin Ibrahim
bin Muhajir who from
Ùbbad bin Yusuf who
from Abu Bardah Ibn Abi
Musa who from his father
who said the Messenger of
Allah (

)
said, Allah, the Most
High, has sent two verses
which are the verses of
asylum. They are:
Munir Ahmad Mughal

:
_ _

'
:
} {
Say (O Muhammad (

) to them) :
"Believe in it (the holy
Qur'n) or do not believe
(in it). Verily! Those who
were given knowledge
before it (the Jews and the
Christians like 'Abdullh
Munir Ahmad Mughal
bin Salm and Salmn Al-
Faris), when it is recited to
them, fall down on their
faces in humble
prostration."
[17:107]

The Holy Prophet (

) said, I am an
Asylum (aman/) for my
companions. Some
muhaddithin say that the
words are, I am an
Asylum for my
companions from conflicts
and trials.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Men of knowledge state
that the Holy Prophet (

) is a great
Asylum. After his
departure his foot prints,
that is, the Sunnah of the

) is the
guarantor of the
reformation of the world.
Any deviation from his
Sunnah and Uswah
Hasanah (the best model)
is nothing but to invite the
mischiefs.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
The following glorious
verse of the Holy Quran
also expresses the
greatness of the Holy
Prophet (
) :
_
:
:
_

:
:
_i
56
Certainly, Allh and His
angels send Salt (Graces,
Honours, blessings, Mercy,
favours) on the Holy
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Prophet [Hadrat
Muhammad (

) ]. O You who
believe! Send Your Salt
on him, and invoke peace
upon him in the most
respectful manner.
[33:56]
In the above glorious verse
Allah Almighty has
expressed the special
superiority of His favourite
(

) by
mentioning His own
sending of blessings and
His angels sending of
Munir Ahmad Mughal
blessing on the Holy
Prophet (

) and has given an

absolute command to all
His servants (the believers)
to send Peace and blessing
upon him.
Abu Bakr bin Faurak
has stated on the authority
of some men of knowledge
that in response to the
saying of the Holy Prophet
(

) The
coolness of my eyes has
been kept in the prayer,
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Allah and His angels are
sending Peace and
blessings on the Holy
Prophet (
). And the same is the

command to the Ummah
Muhammadiyyah that they
should continue praying
Allah Almighty to send his
Peace and blessings on
him. The salat of the angels
and our salat is a sort of
prayer while the salat of
Allah is to send His special
mercy on His favourite
[Hadrat Muhammad (
Munir Ahmad Mughal

) ]. Some
scholars are of the view
that the word Yusalluna
refers to Yubarikuna (but
it does not seem a valid
view as the Holy Prophet
(
) while
teaching the words of Salat
has differentiated between
the word Salat and Barkat.
We shall state the
commandment regarding
sending of Salat and Salam
at another place [Insha
Allah].
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Some mutakallimin while
explaining the abbreviated
letters Kaf, Ha, Ya, Àyn,
Sad have stated that here,
the letter Kaf is for
Kifayat (Sufficing) as
Allah Almighty has

for his servant? Yet they
try to frighten you with
those (whom they worship)

Allh sends astray, for him

The letter Ha refers
to Hidayat

Almighty says:

That Allh may forgive for

your sake [O Hadrat

and the future (followers of
you in your Ummah), and

which has been sent down

And if You do not, Then
You have not conveyed his
Message. Allh will protect
You from mankind. Verily,
Allh guides not the people

on him, and invoke peace
Munir Ahmad Mughal
upon him in the most
respectful manner.

The following verse of the
Holy Quran is also to
show the attributes of the
Holy Prophet (

) :
,
:
Munir Ahmad Mughal

If You two (wives of the
Prophet Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam, namely
'Aishah and Hafsah) turn in
repentance to Allh, (it will
be better for you), your
hearts are indeed so
inclined (to oppose what
the Prophet Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam likes),
but if you help one another
against him [Hadrat
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Muhammad (

) ], Then verily,
Allh is his Maula (Lord,
or master, or Protector,
etc.), and Jibrael (Gabriel),
and the righteous among
the believers, and
furthermore, the angels are
his helpers.
[66:4]
The word Maula /
refers to wali / and
according to some men of
knowledge the words
Salihul-muminin/
refer to the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
prophets (Peace be on all
of them) and according to
others they refer to the
angels. Some other says
that they refer to Hadrat
Abu Bakr and Hadrat
Ùmar (Allahs pleasure be
on both of them). Some
says that here the reference
is to Hadrat Àli (Allahs
pleasure be on him). Some
are of the view that here
the reference is absolute to
all the believers as is
apparent from the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
generality of the words
used.

Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri in his English
translation of the Holy Quran titled as Ìrfanul Quran, at pp.
867-868, in the marginal note has given a very useful research on
Munir Ahmad Mughal
struggled, fought and

the subject which is reproduced at verbatim for the benefitof the
readers:
The co-related noun is inhernt andhas been hidden here. The
intention is ma taqaddama min dhannbi ummatika wa ma ta-
akhkhrar. It is because the following subject relates to glad tidigs
of sending down tranquility, admission to Paradie and
forgiveness of sins. If verse No. 1 to 5 are studied together, the
meaning will become self evident. The leading exegetes have
elucidated it under verse 55 of Surah al-Mumin: in lidhanbi ka
the corealted noun is Umma which is omitted. On this basis,
therefore, wa-staghfir li dhanbik denotes the sins committed by
the Ummah (Community). The leading scholars Imam Nasafi,
Imam Qurtubi and Allamah Shawkani have drawn the same
meaning; cf. references:
1. wastaghfir lidhanbik ay li dhanbi Ummatik. i.e., seek
forgiveness for the sins of your Ummah(Community).
Nasafi, Madarik at-Tanzil wa Haqaiq al-Tawil/
4:359
2. wastaghfir lidhanbik qil: li dhanb Ummatik hudhifa al-
mudaf [] wa uqima al-mudaf [] ilayh
maqamahu. It is stated that wastaghfir lidhanbik implies
the sins of Ummah (Community). The correlated noun
has been omitted in the given phrase and is represented
by the noun it is correlated to. [Qurtubi, al-Jami` al-
Ahkam al-Quran, 15:324].
3. wa qil li dhanbik li dhanbi ummatik fi haqqik. This is
also expositioned that li dhanbik means: seek
forgiveness for the misdeeds committed by Ummah
(Community) pertaining to what is your due.[Ibn
Hayyan Undlasi, al-Bahr al-Muhit, 7:471].
4. wastaghfir lidhanbik qil al-murad dhanb Ummatik fa
huwa àla hadhfi al-Mudhaf states that it implies the sins
of Umm (Community) and this interpretation is based
on omission of the co-relatd noun.[Àllamah Shawkani,
Fath al-Qadir, 4: 497]
Munir Ahmad Mughal
sacrificed by your
command), and (this way)
may complete his blessings
on you (outwardly and
inwardly) in the form of
Islams victory and
forgiveness for your
Ummah (Community),
and may keep your
Ummah) firm-footed on
the straight path through
your mediation) .
3. And so that Allh may
gratn you most honourable
help and support.
Munir Ahmad Mughal
4. He is the One who sent
down As-Sakinah
(calmness and tranquillity)
into the hearts of the
believers, so that their faith
gets increased with more
faith (and the faith learnt-
the kowledgeof certitude
changes into faith seen-the
eye of certitude) And all
the armies of the hevens
and the earth belong to
Alla alone. And Allh is
All-Knowing, Most Wise.
5.All thse favours are put
together) so that He may
Munir Ahmad Mughal
admit the believing men
and the believing women
to the Gardens with
streams flowing under
them.They will live in
them forever. And
(moreover) He may
remove from them their
evil actions (as He has
forgiven them their
mistakes). And this is a
great success of the
believers in the sight of
Allah.
6. And so that He may
punish the Munfiqn
Munir Ahmad Mughal
(hypocrites), men and
women, and also the
Mushrikn men and
women, who entertain evil
assumptions about Allh.
For them is (predestined)
an evil trun of fortune and
Allh has afflicted them
with His wrath, has cursed
them and has prepared for
them Hell. And that is a
very evil resting place.
7. And all armies of the
heavens and the earth
belong to Allah alone. And
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Allh is All-Mighty, Most
Wise.
8. Indeed We have sent
You [O Muhammad (

) as an eye
witness of the actions and
state of affairs of Ummat
(community) ], to bear
testimony on the Day of
Reckoning) ansd as bearer
of good news as as a
warner.
9. So that (O people,) you
may believe in Allh and
his Messenger (

), and may help his

Munir Ahmad Mughal
Din (Religion) and revere
and venetrate him heart
and soul, and with tht
glorify Allah moring and
evening.
10. O Beleoved (

) ! Indeed those
who pledge allegiance to
You (O Muhammad (

) in fact
pledge allegiance to Allh
alone. Allahs Hand is over
their hands (in the form of
your hand). Then
whosoever breaks his
pledge, breaks it Only to
Munir Ahmad Mughal
his own harm, and Who
fulfills what He has
promised to Allh, He will
bless Him with immense
reward.
[48:1-10]
In these verses the Holy
Prophet (
) has been praised and

his rank has been shown so
high that it is beyond
description by human pen.
Here Allah Almighty has
began the appreciation of
such of his attributes that
were kept preserve since
Munir Ahmad Mughal
eternity that is the
manifestation, dominance
over the enemies, the high
rank of Kalimah and
Shariàt and such a
forgiven being from whom
there shall be no
accountability of any past
or future affair. Some men
of knowledge are of the
view that the word
Maghfirat refers to what he
did and what he even did
not all are forgiven. Imam
Makki (Allahs mercy be
on him) said, This
Munir Ahmad Mughal
promise is to show
excellence (Ihsan) for
which maghfirat has been
made a means. As against
others what ever is granted
by Him is all Ihsan and act
of bestowing honour after
honour.
Thereafter the divine
words are Wa yutimmu
Ni`matahu àlayka (and he
will complete his favour on
you). It is the expression of
that honour whereby the
stiff necks of the
polytheists were bowed
Munir Ahmad Mughal
down before His favourite.
Some men of knowledge
are of the view that here
the reference is to the
victory of Makkah al-
Mukarramah and Taìf.
Some others are of the
view that the reference is
to the raising of the
remembrance of the Holy
Prophet (
) and to bless him with

help and forgiveness.
Thereafter the divine
words are Inna arsalna ka
shahidan wa mubashshiran
Munir Ahmad Mughal
wa nazira (Verily, we sent
thee as a witness, a giver of
glad-tiding and a warner).
Here the various excellent
qualities and peculiarities
of the Holy Prophet (

) have been
described. Thereafter the
divine words, Tuàzziruhu
wa tuaqqiruhu give the
command to pay the
maximum respect and
reverence to the Holy
Prophet (
). Some mufassirin
have read the word
Munir Ahmad Mughal
tuàzziruhu as tuàzzizuhu
which means give him the
maximum honour. It is
crystal clear that this
station was with the Holy
Prophet
(
). In the
divine word tusabbihuhu
the pronoun hu refers to
Allah Almighty.
Hadrat Ibn Àta (
) says that many
favours have been
mentioned in this verse
with which Allah Almighty
has blessed his favourite
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Prophet
(
). In
other words there is good
news of clear victory
which is the symbol of the
acceptance of the prayer.
There is glad tiding of
forgiveness which is the
symbol of love. There is
happy news of completion
of favour which is symbol
of the most special of all
special offices. There is
reference to his being the
flag bearer of guidance
which is the symbol of
Munir Ahmad Mughal
friendship. There is
promise of forgiveness,
which is a symbol of purity
from all signs and climax
of rank. By reference to
completion of favour it is
being expressed that he has
been raised to the highest
rank and by means of
guidance he has been
called to the observance of
the Grace of Allah.
(mushahidah jamal).
Regarding the promise of
Allah of completion of
favour Hadrat Imam Ja`far
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Sadiq bin Imam
Muhammad Baqir (Allahs
pleasure be on both of
them) has said, Allah, the
Most High, made the last
Prophet Sayyiduna
Muhammad, the

) as His
favorite and took the oath
of his life span and
abrogated the previous
sharai` and raised him to
the highest station and
protected him perfectly
during Ascension so much
Munir Ahmad Mughal
so that he did not turn his
eye towards anything else
nor his vision exceeded the
limit. Allah Almighty sent
him as a prophet towards
the white as well as the
black that is towards all
human beings. Allah
Almighty made the war
booty lawful for him. Allah
Almighty made him an
intercessor and permitted
to intercede and authorized
to intercede for the sinful.
Allah Almighty made him
the chief of all the progeny
Munir Ahmad Mughal
of Adam (Peace be upon
him) and Allah Almighty
joined his remembrance
with His own
remembrance as well as
joined his pleasure with
His own pleasure and
declared his being as an
essential element of
Tauhid.
In this connection, Allah
Almighty says:
Innallazina yubayiùnaka
innama yubayiùnallaha
Verily, those who take
oath of allegiance with
Munir Ahmad Mughal
you do, in fact, take oath
of allegiance with
Allah.
And Allah Almighty
further says:
Yadullahi fauqa
aydihim.
Allahs hand is above
their hands.
Here, according to some
mufassirin, the reference is
to the divine power and
according to some others,
the reference is to the
reward and according to
Munir Ahmad Mughal
still others, the reference is
to the excellence (ihsan)
and according to still more
others, the reference is to
the covenant. It is as an
istiàrah and tajnis kalam.
The objective is to
strengthen the covenant of
allegiance and to express
the height of the office of
the one who takes oath of
allegiance. The same
subject has been mentioned
in the following verse:
Munir Ahmad Mughal

:
:
:
:
17
You killed them not, but
Allh killed them. And
You [Hadrat Muhammad
(

) ]
threw not when you did
throw but Allh threw, that
Munir Ahmad Mughal
He might test the believers
by a fair trial from Him.
Verily, Allh is All-Hearer,
All-Knower.
[8 : 17]
Though prima facie it
appears to be a
metaphorical speech but it
is based on fact that in
reality Allah Almighty
caused death and threw the
dust. The reason is that the
creator of the actions of the
servants is He alone. The
throwing of the pebbles or
dust took place under His
Munir Ahmad Mughal
will and power; otherwise,
no human being had
personal power to send the
dust so far away with the
effect that not a single
believer who came in front
of it could save himself
without having the said
dust entered into his eyes.
Section 10
Perfection of the
Messenger of Allah
( )

Munir Ahmad Mughal
From among such
perfection, one peculiarity,
and superiority and honor
is the event of Ascension
(mi`raj / isra) which has
been mentioned in Surah
Asra and Surah al-Najm.
A superiority or perfection
is this that Allah Almighty
kept him protected from
the evil of the people. Thus

:
:
Munir Ahmad Mughal

:
:

O Messenger [Hadrat
Muhammad (

) ] ! Proclaim (the
Message) which has been
sent down to you from
your Lord. And if you do
not, then you have not
conveyed his Message.
Allh will protect you from
mankind. Verily, Allh
Munir Ahmad Mughal
guides not the people who
disbelieve.
[5 : 67]
_
: :

And (remember) when the
disbelievers plotted against
You (O Muhammad ) to
Munir Ahmad Mughal
imprison you, or to kill
you, or to get You out
(from Your home, i.e.
Makkah) ; they were
plotting and Allh too was
planning, and Allh is the
best of the planners.

If You help Him
(Muhammad) not (it does
not matter), for Allh did
indeed help Him when the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
disbelievers drove Him
out, the second of two,
when they (Muhammad
and Abu Bakr) were in the
cave, and he (

) said to his
companion [Abu Bakr
( ) ]:
"Be not sad (or afraid),
surely Allh is with us."
Then Allh sent down
his Saknah (calmness,
tranquillity, peace, etc.)
upon him, and
strengthened him with
forces (angels) which
Munir Ahmad Mughal
you saw not, and made
the word of those who
disbelieved the
lowermost, while it was
the word of Allh that
became the uppermost,
and Allh is All-
Mighty, All-Wise.
[9 : 40]

Here, the reference is to
the persecution by the
polythiests of Makkah
when they had surrounded
the Holy Prophet (

) according to
Munir Ahmad Mughal
their evil design settled at
Dar al-Nadwah to kill the
Messenger of Allah
(
). Thus,
when the Messenger of
Allah (
)
left his residence and took
rest in the Cave of Thaur
the wonderful scene of
Divine protection appeared
and at both the occassions,
the enemy could not see
him. Further, satisfaction
and Peace of mind was put
into his heart. Still further,
the event of Suraqah bin
Munir Ahmad Mughal
Malik that has been
narrated by the
Muhaddithin and the
biographers in the events
of Cave of Thaur and
emigration. All these
events were speaking
evidence of the Divine
protection according to the
Divine promise and also
faith inspiring in
themselves.
The following chapter of
the Holy Quran is also to
state the perfections and
the superiorities and the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
high rank of the Holy
Prophet (
) .
,
: :

Verily, We (Allah
Almighty) have granted
you
Munir Ahmad Mughal
[O Muhammad (

) ] al-Kauthar (a
river in Paradise) ;
Therefore turn in prayer to
your Lord and sacrifice (to
Him only) .
For he who makes you
angry (O Muhammad (

) ,- he will be
cut off (from every good
thing in this world and in
the Hereafter) .
[108 : 1 to 3]
In the above verses, Allah
Almighty has informed the
Munir Ahmad Mughal

) as to what
has been granted to him.
Kauthar is a canal in
Paradise. Many other
meanings of this word have
been mentioned by the
Mufassirin.
After the mention of
special favours of Allah
upon the Messenger of
Allah (
),
the uncalled for language
used by the enemies has
been responded and it has
been clearly stated that the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
enemy and the contemnor
(
) is
deprived of every good.
Allah Almighty also says
_ ,

87
And indeed, We (Allah
Almighty) have bestowed
upon you seven of Al-
Mathni (the seven
repeatedly recited Verses),
(i.e. Srat Al-Ftiha) and
the Grand Qur'n .
Munir Ahmad Mughal
[15:87]
It is stated that the Sabàm
minal-mathani refers to the
first seven chapters of the
Holy Prophet (

) that are also called

tawal mufassal and the
words al-Quran al-Àzim
refer to surah al-Fatihah.
Another view is that
Sabàm minal-mathani
refer to Surah al-Fatihah
while the words al-Quran
al-Àzim refer to the whole
Quran. Still another view
is that the verses that
Munir Ahmad Mughal
consist of commandments
and prohibitions, good
news and warnings,
proverbs and divine
favours are termed as
Sabàm minal-mathani.
And that by this great book
we have blessed you with
so many sciences.
It is also stated that Surah
Fatihah is called Sabàm
minal-mathani as it is
repeated in every rakat of
every prayer. It is also
stated that it has been
termed as Sabàm minal-
Munir Ahmad Mughal
mathani as it was stored
declaring specific for the

) while the
other prophets and
messengers were not given
this Surah. It is also stated
that the Holy Quran has
been termed as Sabàm
minal-mathani as in it the
events of past prophets
have been repeated time
and again. It has also been
stated that Sabàm minal-
mathani means, O my
favourite I have blessed
Munir Ahmad Mughal
you with seven honours,
namely, hidayat
(guidance), nubuwwat
(prophet hood), rahmat
(mercy), shafaàt
(intercession), wilayat
(friendship), ta`zim
(greatness), sakinat (Peace
of mind and satisfaction of

peculiarities of the

connection Allah Almighty
also says

clear for them. Then Allh
misleads whom He wills
and guides whom He wills.
And He is the All-Mighty,
the All-Wise.

In the above verse it is
stated that all the prophets
were sent towards their
own people but the
Munir Ahmad Mughal

sent towards the whole
creation.

himself said:
I have been sent

black that is the whole

Munir Ahmad Mughal

The Prophet is closer to the
believers than their
ownselves, and his wives
are their (believers')
mothers (as regards respect
and marriage). And blood
Munir Ahmad Mughal
relations among each other
have closer personal ties in
the decree of Allh
(regarding inheritance)
than (the brotherhood of)
the believers and the
Muhajirn (emigrants from
Makkah, etc.), except that
you do kindness to those
brothers (when the Prophet

them in brotherhood ties).
This has been written in

Munir Ahmad Mughal
[33:6]
The mufassirin stated
that the command of the

among the Muslims as the
command of a master in
respect of his slaves. Some
mufassirin are of the view
that to obey the command
(
) is
much better than to act
upon ones own will.
Further the wives of the
Munir Ahmad Mughal

declared like the mothers
in the matter respect. In
other words after the
departure of the Messenger
of Allah (
) marriage of any one

with any of the wives of
the Holy Prophet (

) is violative of
the respect of the

is they will be the wives of
the Holy Prophet (

) in the
Munir Ahmad Mughal
hereafter. This affair is also
from among the
peculiarities of the Holy
Prophet (
) .

Allah Almighty
[praising the Messenger of
Allah (

Had not the Grace of Allh
and his Mercy been upon
you [O Muhammad (

) ], a party of
them would certainly have
made a decision to mislead
Munir Ahmad Mughal
you, but (in fact) they
mislead none except their
own selves, and no harm
can they do to you in the
least. Allh has sent down
to you the Book (the
Qur'n), and AlHikmah
(Islmic laws, knowledge
of legal and illegal things
i.e. the Prophet's Sunnah -
legal ways), and taught you
that which you knew not.
And ever great is the Grace
of Allh unto you [O
Muhammad (

Munir Ahmad Mughal
[4:113]
The Mufassirin have
stated that by the word
fadlullahthe reference is
to fadl azim with the office
of hia prophethood. Some
(other mufassirin) have
said that these words refer
to the superiority fixed in
eternity (i.e. the favours
that have been granted to

) alone
since eternity).
Imam Wasiti (Allahs
Munir Ahmad Mughal
by these words an
indication towards (having
been gifted by Allah
Almighty) to bear the
vision of Allah which
could not be borne by
Hadrat Musa ().
