Dear Islamic brothers! The moon to
which the scientists claim to have reached is under the control of the Holy
Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ
وَسَلَّم. It is narrated in the book 'Dalāil-un-Nabūwwaĥ' that the uncle
of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ
وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, Ḥaḍrat Sayyidunā 'Abbās bin 'Abdul
Muṭṭalib رَضِیَ اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ narrates,
"I asked the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ
تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, 'Yā Rasūlallāĥ
صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, I saw in your
childhood such a thing which proves your Prophet-hood and this is one of the
reasons why I accepted Islam. I saw that you were talking with the moon in your
cradle and I saw that the moon would move towards wherever you pointed your blessed
finger.' The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ
تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied, 'I had been talking with
the moon and it had been talking with me, the moon had been amusing me so that
I may not weep and I had been listening the sound of its falling whenever it
fell down for Sajdaĥ under the 'Arsh of Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
(Al-Khaşāiş-ul-Kubrā, pp. 91, vol. 1)
The
Miracle of Splitting of the Moon
It is quoted in Şaḥīḥ Bukhārī: When
the disbelievers of Makkaĥ demanded the Noble Prophet صَلَّى
اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to show a miracle,
the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ
وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم displayed splitting of the moon into two
pieces. Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ says in the 1st and
2nd verse of Paraĥ 27, Sūra-tul-Qamar:
اِقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ
۞
وَاِنْ يَّرَوْا اٰيَةً يُّعْرِضُوْا
وَيَقُوْلُوْا سِحْرٌ مُّسْتَمِرٌّ ۞
'The
hour came near and the moon was split. And if they see a miracle, they turn
away their faces and say, 'This is a perpetual magic'.
(Paraĥ 27, Sura Al-Qamar, verses 1-2) [Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation
of Quran)]
The renowned Mufassir,
Ḥakīm-ul-Ummat, Muftī Aḥmad Yār Khān عَلَيْہِرَحْمَةُالرَّحْمٰن
narrates about the section وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ
(and the moon was split) that in this verse, the great miracle of Splitting of
Moon by the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى
عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has been mentioned.
(Nūr-ul-'Irfān, p. 635)
Only
for the Sake of Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ
Dear Islamic brothers! After hearing
the medical benefits of Wuḍū, you would have been pleased but I must tell you
that all the medical science is based upon uncertainties. Scientific research
is never final and suffers changes with the passage of time. However the
commandments of Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ
and of His beloved Rasūl صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى
عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم are final and these will never change. We
should act upon the Sunnaĥ only for the pleasure of Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ and not for attaining medical benefits.
Therefore performing Wuḍū to normalize blood pressure or for refreshment,
having fast for dieting, travelling to Madīna-e-Munawwaraĥ for change of
climate and to get rid of business fatigue, reading religious books for passing
the time, how can above acts with such intentions procure Šawāb? However if we
act for the pleasure of Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ,
we will get Šawāb as well as its worldly benefits. Hence we should perform Wuḍū
just for the pleasure of Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ
keeping care of its apparent and internal conduct.
Wuḍū
of Inner Being
Ḥujja-tul-Islam Ḥaḍrat Sayyidunā
Imām Muḥammad Ghazālī عَلَيْہِرَحْمَۃُاللّٰہِالوَالِی
says, "When you turn your attention towards Ṣalāĥ after completing your
Wuḍū, contemplate, 'The visible organs of my body that people have seen been
purified apparently, but to implore in the court of Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ without sanctifying the heart is against
modesty as Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ witnesses hearts as
well.' He further explains: One making Wuḍū of apparent organs should remember
that the purity of the heart is obtained by repentance, abandoning bad habits
and by adopting good morals. A person who neglects the inner purity and only
pays attention to the outer purity resembles the person who invites a king to
his house for a feast, and in order to please the king, he cleans, polishes,
and colours the outside of his house but leaves the interior dirty and full of
garbage.
When the king would enter his house,
whether he will be pleased or displeased!
(Iḥyā-ul-'Ulūm, pp. 185, vol. 1)
Sunnaĥ
does not Need Scientific Support
Dear Islamic brothers, remember! The
Sunnaĥ of beloved and blessed Rasūl صَلَّى اللّٰهُ
تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم doesn't need scientific support and our
objective is to follow Sunnaĥ and not the science. Let me say that when the
European experts conclude something after deep research of several years, they
actually confront smiling and sparkling Sunnaĥ of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
No matter how luxurious life one spends in excursions all over the world, but
the true happiness will enter your heart only and only by remembrance of Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
The tranquillity of heart is
associated with intense love for the Holy Prophet صَلَّى
اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. The comforts here
and Hereafter depend upon practising Sunnaĥ and not on sitting before TV, VCR
or Internet. If you are committed to avail comforts here and in Hereafter,
strictly adhere with Ṣalāĥ and Sunnaĥ. And to learn these, travel with Madanī
Qāfilaĥ's of Dawat-e-Islami regularly. Every Islamic brother is urged to travel
in Madanī Qāfilaĥ for twelve months in one session at least once in lifetime,
for thirty days in every twelve months and for three days in every thirty days
to learn Sunnaĥ.
صَلُّوْا عَلَى الْحَبِيْبِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ
تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
The
Girl with a Beard
If you want to develop the spirit to
learn the intentions for fasting and other deeds, please travel with devotees
of Prophet in the Madanī Qāfilaĥs of Dawat-e-Islami, the international
non-political religious movement of the Quran and Sunnaĥ and earn the blessings
of both the worlds.
In order to persuade you, I present
a blessing which took place in a Madanī Qāfilaĥ. Therefore, an Islamic brother
of Ranchor Line Bāb-ul-Madīna (Karachi) made the statement:
In our three day Madanī Qāfilaĥ,
there was a 26 year old Islamic brother who said a lot of prayers with great
humility; having been asked, he replied that he had a young daughter, whose
face hair was growing like a beard, which was the reason of his anxiety. He
further said that the cause of the problem could not be diagnosed despite
X-Rays and test and no medicine proved effective as yet. The participants of
the Qāfilaĥ prayed for his daughter on his request. Two days after the Madanī
Qāfilaĥ, when I met the same dejected Islamic brother, he informed me happily
that اَلْحَمْدُلِلّٰہِعَزَّوَجَلَّ
the hair of his daughter's face had disappeared altogether as if there was no
hair at all due to the blessing of Madanī Qāfilaĥ.
صَلُّوْا عَلَى الْحَبِيْبِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ
تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
