Three
sayings of the Noble Prophet
1. The best of all the gatherings is
the one in which the participants sit facing the Qiblah.
(Al-Mu'jam-ul-Awsat,
vol. 6, pp. 161, Hadees 8361)
2. Everything has its dignity and
sitting has the dignity in facing Qiblah.
(Al-Mu'jam-ul-Kabeer,
vol. 10, pp. 320, Hadees 10781)
3. Everything has supremacy and
gatherings have the supremacy to sit facing the Qiblah.
(Al-Mu'jam-ul-Awsat,
vol. 2, pp. 20, Hadees 2354)

It is Sunnah for Muballighin and educators to have their backs
towards the Qiblah so that the listeners (learners) can sit facing towards the
Qiblah. Hence, Sayyiduna 'Allamah Haafiz Sakhaawi عَلَيْهِ
رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ الْقَوِى said, 'The reason why the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم
had his blessed back towards the Qiblah was to allow the attendants to face the
Qiblah.'
(Al-Maqasid-ul-Hasanah,
pp. 88)
·
Sayyiduna 'Abdullah Bin 'Umar رَضِى
الله تَعَالَى عَنْهُ often sat facing the Qiblah.
(Al-Adab Al-Mufrid,
pp. 291, Hadees 1137)
·
While teaching the Noble Quran, you should sit with your
back towards the Qiblah with the intention of following the blessed Sunnah.
Dars-e-Nizami teachers should also do the same with the intention of Sunnah and
in order to let students face the Qiblah. Educate students the Sunnah,
philosophy and intention of sitting in this manner and gain many rewards and
blessings. Try to sit facing the Qiblah when you are not teaching.
·
Religious students should sit facing the Qiblah so that they
are also facing the teacher otherwise it might be difficult for them to
understand [the lesson].
·
It is Sunnah for the Khateeb to give the sermon with his
back towards the Qiblah and it is desirable that the listeners face the
Khateeb.
·
Especially, when reciting the Holy Quran, reading religious
books, writing Fatawa, compiling and authoring books, supplicating, doing Zikr,
reciting Salat and Salam etc., or generally whenever sitting down or standing,
if there is no religious hindrance, try to develop a habit to sit facing the
Qiblah all the time and reap many rewards. (If you are within 45 degree of Qiblah,
you will be considered as facing the Qiblah).
·
If possible, place the table, chair etc. towards the Qiblah
so that whenever you sit, you [automatically] face the Qiblah.
·
If you just happen to sit facing the Qiblah without
intending to gain rewards, then you will not be rewarded, therefore, one should
always make good intentions; for instance: (i) Gaining reward for the
afterlife, (ii) following the Sunnah, (iii) I am facing the Ka'bah in its
honour and reverence. When studying Islamic books and Islamic lessons you
should include this intention as well that by acting upon the Sunnah of facing
the blessed Qiblah, I will receive the blessings of religious knowledge إن شاء الله عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
·
In many countries such as, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bengal,
C-Lanka, etc. whenever one faces the Qiblah, he also faces Madinah Munawwarah
[as they fall in the same direction]. Therefore, the intention of facing
Madina-tul-Munawwarah to pay respect should be included.
Baythnay ka
haseen qareenah hay
Rukh udhar
hay jidhar Madinah hay
Dono 'aalam
ka jo nageenah hay
Mayray Aqa
ka woh Madinah hay
Roo baroo
mayray Khana-e-Ka'bah
Aur afkaar
mayn Madinah hay
A
beautiful way to sit is that you face towards Madinah which is the jewel in
both the worlds i.e. my Holy Prophet's blessed city, Madinah. Right in front of me is Ka'bah and in my thoughts is
Madinah.

marvel of Baghdadi remedy
The summary of the statement of an
Islamic brother is as follows: A Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima' was held by Dawat-e-Islami
on the occasion of 11th Rabi'-ul-Ghaus, 1425 AH (2003). During the
Sunnah-inspiring speech, the Baghdadi remedy was told. After the speech,
Islamic brothers were being initiated into the spiritual lineage of Qadiriyyah
Razawiyyah. Suddenly, I felt drowsy. When my eyes were closed, I saw that
Sayyiduna Ghaus-e-Azam رَحمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰى
is sitting with a brightened face and has spread his shawl. I held the shawl
and felt that many others are also holding the shawl but I was unable to see
any of them! I repeated the words to become the disciple.
As soon as the initiation was over,
I requested in the blessed court of Ghaus-e-Azam رَحْمَةُ
اللهِ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ: Murshid! My wife is in labour and in
terrible pain. The doctor has recommended surgery; kindly relieve me of this
distress. He رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى عليه
replied: 'Act upon the Baghdadi remedy.' I respectfully asked, 'O my dearest
Murshid! It's too late now as the Baghdadi remedy must be completed in the
night.' Then he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰى
replied: 'You are allowed to carry it out in the day, before the end of the day
and اِن شاءَ اللَّهُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ you will be bestowed
with twins without surgery. Keep your children's names Hassaan and Mushtaq
respectively. Both of them will be under my protection.' I did as instructed
and made my wife eat the 11 dates accordingly.
الْحَمْدُ
لِلَّهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ
The response manifested immediately and the pain diminished. Then, in due time,
she delivered without any complications. I swear that I was blessed with twins
as Sayyiduna Ghaus-e-Azam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالَى
عَلَيْهِ had revealed to me and I kept their names Hassaan and Mushtaq
respectively.
Jeelani
remedy (for stomach diseases)
Take 3 dates on the night of 11th
Rabi'-ul-Ghaus; recite Surah Al-Fatihah and Surah Al-Ikhlas once, then recite
the following Wazifah 11 times:
يَا شَيْخ عَبْدَ الْقَادِرُ جِيْلَانِي
شَيْئًا لِلَّهِ الْمَدَدِ
(Salat-'Alan-Nabi once before and
after) and blow on a date. Repeat the recitation and blow on 2nd and 3rd date
respectively. It's not necessary to eat dates in the same night. These dates
can be eaten anytime and at any day. وَإِنْ شَاءَ
اللهُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ it will provide relief for all stomach
diseases such as stomach ache, constipation, gas trouble, dysentery, ulcer,
vomiting, etc.
صَلُّوا عَلَى الْحَبِيْب صَلَّى اللهُ
تَعَالَى عَلَى مُحَمَّد
