Shaykh Muḥammad Muwaffaq al-al-Murābiʿ relates that the great Ḥanafī jurist, al-Ḥaṣkafī, mentioned that Abū ʿAlī al-Daqqāq said: I took this ṭarīqah (of taṣawwuf) from Abū al-Qāsim al-Naṣrabādhī. Abū al-Qāsim said, that he took it from al-Shiblī, who took it from Sirrī al-Saqaṭī; he took it from Maʿrūf al-Karkhī; and he took it from Dāwūd al-Ṭāʾī. Dāwūd al-Ṭāʾī took both ʿilm (knowledge) and the ṭarīqah of taṣawwuf from Abū Ḥanīfah.

All of them acknowledged the virtue, excellence, and greatness of al-Imām Abū Ḥanīfah.

Yet it is said that Islam and Muslims are the cause of violence and terrorism in the world, and they want everyone to believe that.
Who started World War I? Not Muslims...
Who started World War II? Not Muslims...
Who killed nearly 20 million indigenous Australians? Not Muslims...
Who dropped bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan? Not Muslims...
Who killed nearly 100 million Native Americans in South America? Not Muslims...
Who killed nearly 50 million Native Americans in North America? Not Muslims...
Who kidnapped over 180 million Africans from Africa, of whom 88% died and were thrown into the sea? Who did this? Not Muslims... Terrorism or militancy was not initiated by Muslims, yet they are being defined as such. If a non-Muslim commits a terrorist act, it's a crime! But if Muslims try to assert their rights, it's called terrorism...! Isn't this a well-planned conspiracy!!!???
Let us unite to build an enlightened world of peace, harmony, love, and compassion; let us take a sincere pledge and be vocal in every field and forum.

In the Ḥadīth of Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, we are told that every Prophet was granted a special duʿāʾ, one that would certainly be answered.

Our beloved Prophet ﷺ was blessed with three such supplications. Prophet Sulaymān, peace be upon him, was granted one, and he supplicated for a kingdom unlike any that had ever been seen before. Prophet Ibrāhīm, peace be upon him, supplicated that Prophets and Messengers would arise from his family. Prophet Nūḥ, peace be upon him, supplicated against his people. And these supplications were accepted.

The Prophets of Allāh, peace be upon them, used their special supplications for themselves in this dunyā. But our beloved Prophet ﷺ used his first two special supplications for his Ummah in this world, and he ﷺ reserved the third one for us as well.

He ﷺ did not save it for himself. He ﷺ reserved it for the Day of Judgment. the day when we will need any help more than ever. His two supplications in this dunyā were both for his Ummah:

O Allāh, forgive my Ummah!

The ʿulamāʾ have mentioned that one of these supplications was for the forgiveness of our ṣaghāʾir (minor sins), while the other was for the forgiveness of our kabāʾir (major sins). And what about the third duʿāʾ?

He ﷺ did not keep it for himself. He ﷺ saved it for later. But for whom did he ﷺ save it? And why? And why did the other Anbiyāʾ, peace be upon them, not simply make a similar supplication?

Listen to the full video above to discover the answer.

Rasūl Allāh ‎ﷺ said:

A man keeps on asking others for something till he comes on the Day of Resurrection without any piece of flesh on his face.

The Prophet ‎ﷺ added:

On the Day of Resurrection, the sun will come near (to the people) to such an extent that the sweat will reach up to the middle of the ears. So, when all the people are in that state, they will ask Ādam for help (istighātha), and then Mūsā (Moses), and then Muḥammad (‎ﷺ).

The sub-narrator added:

Muḥammad ﷺ will intercede with Allāh to judge amongst the people. He will proceed on till he holds the ring of the door (of Paradise), and then Allāh will exalt him to Maqām Maḥmūd (the privilege of intercession, etc.). And all the people of the gathering will praise/thank him ﷺ.

[Saḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 1474, 1475, al-Bukhārī vol. 2, Book 24, 553]

Now remember, people will run towards Prophets for help. Clearly, the word istighātha has been used in this Ḥadīth. This proves that had istighātha been shirk, then it could never be allowed on the Day of Judgment, and all those Prophets would have rather told the people to run towards Allāh (seek His help directly) alone rather than the next Prophet!

This authentic narration in Saḥīḥ al-Bukhārī once and for all has cleared the doubts of istighātha, tawassul, wasīla, tashaffuʿ, and tajawwuh, as they are all similar in meaning and are just means for the true help from Allāh. So how can this possibly be anything such as bidʿah, shirk, ḥarām, or kufr? It is an act that will be done by every single one of us and through every single Prophet, and will finally be accepted by the Beloved of Allāh and the Imām al-Anbiyāʾ, Sayyidunā Rasūl Allāh ‎ﷺ, who helped his Ummah 1400 years ago, today, and then again on the Day of Resurrection.

As Allāh mentions in the Glorious Qurʾān:

Indeed there has come to you a Noble Messenger from among you, your falling into hardship aggrieves him, most concerned for your well-being, for the Muslims most compassionate, most merciful.

[Sūrat al-Tawbah 9:128]

If, upon hearing that the Prophet ﷺ liked gourd, someone says, ‘I do not like it,’ then, according to some scholars, he is a kāfir. But the reality is that if he dislikes it because it was liked by the Prophet ﷺ, then he is a kāfir. If it is merely a matter of taste, it is not kufr.

[Bahār-e Sharīʿat]

The Holy Prophet ﷺ loved dates, honey, milk, watermelon, gourd, olive oil, vinegar, and some other foods. So, if you have ever said something negative about any of these things, then make tawbah and do not repeat it. May Allāh increase us in knowledge. Āmīn.

The Tābiʿī historian, Wahb ibn Munabbih, writes:

I have read seventy-one heavenly books and found in every single one of them a consistent truth: If you gathered the intellect that Allāh gave to every human being who has ever lived, from the beginning of the world to its end, and compared it to the intellect of Rasūl Allāh ﷺ, it would be like a single grain of sand compared to all the sands of the entire world.

Truly, Rasūl Allāh ﷺ is the most intelligent of all people and the absolute best in judgment.

[Ḥilyat al-Awliyāʾ wa-Ṭabaqāt al-Aṣfiyāʾ]

‎Mullā ʿAlī al-Qārī writes:

The knowledge of the Tablet (al-Lawḥ al-Maḥfūẓ) and the Pen (al-Qalam) are a mere few lines out of the Prophet’s ﷺ knowledge and a mere river from the seas of his knowledge.

‎[Al-Zubdah fī Sharḥ al-Burdah]

If a lifeless satellite, created by humans, can gather data and visualize every corner of the world in detail, imagine what Rasūl Allāh ﷺ is capable of. By Allāh, his knowledge extends beyond the corners of the universe, further than anyone in this world can imagine.

Tābiʿī, Sayyidunā Ibn Kaysān, said:

The Prophet ﷺ was given knowledge of whatever occurred and whatever will occur.

[Tafsīr al-Baghawī, 7/441; Tafsīr al-Qurṭubī, 17/152; Tafsīr al-Khāzin, 4/225]

When some parents lose their child through miscarriage, whether it happens at six or eight months of pregnancy, they may not give the child a name.

It is important to name the child, because on the Day of Judgment, the child will be resurrected and called by name. If the child was not given a name, the child will testify that their parents did not name them.

This child will make shafāʿah (intercession) for their parents. So, for those who were unaware of this, please share this with them.
