Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam In Word

Imagine someone writes, 'When the Prophet (SAWS) said.' Now someone could think there is a Prophet named 'saws'. This is a very sad innovation for the lazy, internet Muslims who think it is OK to do this. I do not like it, but it is an abbreviation of 'Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Salam'. In fact, the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) saw Jibril (Alayhi As-Salām) twice in the angelic form in which Allah created him, the first time being when he first came to the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) to inform him of his Prophethood. The Quran mentions of these two occasions.

Feb, 2006 – I was on holidays in a mountain area. Around Fajr I had a dream where I heard Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasalam say He has left a message for me. I didn’t physically see Him but I know Prophet Muhammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasalam is talking to me. His voice was like magic, very beautiful and captivating. It was nothing I have ever heard in my life but it can spellbound you and you hear each and every word with full attention. All other sounds faded away and all I could hear was His voice. He spoke with great kindness and told me that He Sallallahu Alaihi Wasalam has left a message for me. I immediately start looking around the room. I am not sure where the message might be but I am impatiently determined to find it and know what Great Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasalam wants to tell me. In my heart I know the message is only for my success and happiness and finding it will be the most remarkable thing I will do in my life. I am getting desperate to know about the message. In my heart I blindly believe there cannot be a greater well-wisher than the Pure and Magnificent Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasalam and disappointing Him is NOT an option. The dream ends with me searching around the room.

HEAVENLY SIGHT AFTER THE DREAM

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the sunrise over the mountains. It was a mesmerizing scene but I was still in a state of shock. I remembered the dream clearly and before my eyes was the most beautiful sight of nature in its full glory that I had never seen in my life. The sun was slowly spreading its soft gold rays over massive big beautiful mountains. With the sun rays, the snow was sparkling and it seemed too beautiful to be real, more like a magical paradise. Imagine watching that while still under the effect of the most beautiful voice in the world. For a good 15 mins, I stayed paused, couldn’t blink, move or remember anything beside the dream, the message and the unbeleivable sight before my eyes. For the next 10 years, I kept thinking about the message that is for sure either in Quran or Hadith/Sunnah.

VOICE OF GREAT HOLY PROPHET MUHAMMAD (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasalam)

It is stated in a Hadith, Hazrat Abu Hurairah RA reports that Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihe Wasalam) said, “He who sees me in a dream has certainly seen me, because Satan can not take my form.” There have been few dreams where I did not see Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihe Wasalam) physical appearance but the message received was in accordance to Islamic principles. In this dream, I knew I was hearing Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihe Wasalam) and the magic of his voice is confirmed by what I recently found.

It is said that Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihe Wasalam) was given extreme beauty. People around Him were always captivated with His presence and no matter what would be drawn to Him and every word He had to say. His voice was known to cast a spell and people listened to Him attentively. He was given direct messages from Allah and the wisdom of the known and unknown.

We are talking about a century where people normally worshiped idols and dead objects. Never had the brain to question and seek facts about creation of the world and then you have Quran sent at the time revealing facts that were discovered thousands of years later. From scientific facts to realities of the world’s people and condition 1400 years later, can any normal human predict all that? Its plain commonsense obviously Quran with such astonishing knowledge came from the most divine power who had no characteristics of mortal being but the creator of everything in the universe and beyond our knowledge and imagination!

I try my best to bring details of Great Prophet Muhammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasalam and that is the main reason for this blog. World should know about Great Peophet Muhammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, His life, His kindness, His trials, His mission to spread the word of Allah whilst facing excruciating pain and tests on every step of the way and His way of spending a life when He could have married the most beautiful woman to be ever created and all the money in the world.

Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam’s whole life was dedicated in spreading the word of Allah and because of this sole mission, He sacrificed everything whether it was money, desires, happiness, peace and even his loved ones. Can you imagine how the King of this world and Jennah must have felt when His infant son passed away from illness and his own relatives celebrated the death saying name of Great Prophet Muhammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam will left no more. He knew his grandsons whom He referred as His own sons, will die painfully with Hussain (Razitalla Anhu)’s head cut off and separated from body for weeks! Astagfaar if this happened to the Kings of world and Jennah then who are we to complain about pathetic small issues? Great Peophet Muhammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam (May Allah bless Him highest ranks in Jennah with His loved ones), He use to kiss Hussain (Razitalla Anhu) on His neck as He knew this will be where sword will strike to slaughter him. Can there be a bigger sacrifice? We can’t imagine anything bad happening to our pets but Great Prophet Muhammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam loved Allah the most and obeyed Allah’s will. If we notice closely these are all examples that the world is difficult for those with Imaan and who stand by their faith. A trial in this temporary life leads to eternity in peace, happiness and serenity.

One thing that I always noticed is Great Prophet Muhammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was extremely KIND. Extremely humble, extremely magnificent, pure as a new-born baby and He loves us. When you see Him, you know in your heart that His love cannot match anyone in this world and in return you love Him more than your parents or anyone else in this life. This is proved by Hadaith. While we sleep every night in ignorance, Great Prophet Muhammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam use to stay up all night, crying for forgiveness of the generations that will never meet Him and might not understand the meaning of Islam. SUBHANALLAH Great Prophet Muhammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. May Allah bless Him everything He ever wanted and only Bless Him and His loved ones with peace and happiness in Jennah. Ameen

Dream mentioning “message” became reoccurring for next 10 years. I saw Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam again few years later but He Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam seemed sad that He Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam has left 2 Hadiths and a Book which were gone missing. I in the dream was not worried about finding the Hadiths and Book. And then after another few years, I had the final dream repeating the “message” but this time Alhumdulilah I was finally able to solve the mystery. The message is His last Khutba which is a complete guidance for Muslims. Every word of His last message can help us achieve success in duniya and Jennah InshaAllah. Reading it makes you realize, this was the summary of His whole life spreading Message of Allah.

Here is the MESSAGE!!!

THE LAST SERMON (KHUTBAH) OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM (FAREWELL SERMON)

Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam delivered his last sermon (Khutbah) on the 9th of Dhul Hajj (12^th and last month of the Islamic year), 10 years after Hijrah (migration from Makkah to Madinah) in the Uranah Valley of mount Arafat. His words were quite clear and concise and were directed to the entire humanity.

After praising, and thanking Allah he said:

“O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be among you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and TAKE THESE WORDS TO THOSE WHO COULD NOT BE PRESENT HERE TODAY.

Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small things.

O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your LORD, and that HE will indeed reckon your deeds. ALLAH has forbidden you to take usury (interest), therefore all interest obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer any inequity. Allah has Judged that there shall be no interest and that all the interest due to Abbas ibn ‘Abdul Muttalib (Prophet’s uncle) shall henceforth be waived…

O People, it is true that you have certain rights with regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives only under Allah’s trust and with His permission. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste.

O People, listen to me in earnest, worship ALLAH, say your five daily prayers (Salah), fast during the month of Ramadan, and give your wealth in Zakat. Perform Hajj if you can afford to.

Remember, one day you will appear before ALLAH and answer your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone.All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety (taqwa) and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves.

All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly. Be my witness, O ALLAH, that I have conveyed your message to your people”.O People, NO PROPHET OR APOSTLE WILL COME AFTER ME AND NO NEW FAITH WILL BE BORN. Reason well, therefore, O People, and understand words which I convey to you.

I leave behind me two things, the QURAN and my example, the SUNNAH and if you follow these you will never go astray.

May Allah keep us on the right path, forgive us and save us from doing anything that will displease Allah and Holy Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. May Allah bless Dearest Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam HIGHEST rank in Jennah like He has promised and Bless Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam with peace and happiness with His loved ones. May Allah bless us with martyrdom when we die and guide us to live the life as Allah and His Great Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam always wanted.

AMEEN

Sallahu Alaihi Wa Salam

(299) Hadith Number 3.
Ummi Salamah Radiyallahu 'Anha reports: 'Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam recited every aayah separately. He recited 'Alhamdulillaahi Rabbil 'Aa-lameen' and paused, then recited 'Ar Rahmaanir Raheem' and paused. Then paused after reciting 'Maaliki Yawmiddeen'.

Commentary
Briefly, he recited every aayah distinctly, and with ease. There is a difference of opinion among the Qurraa, that is it afdal (better) to take a breath after the recital of every aayah or not? Maulana Gangohi has written a special booklet 'Raddut Tughyaan fi Awqaafil Qur-aan' in Urdu, which is quite comprehensive. This book is beneficial for the rnasaa-il of this nature.

(300) Hadith Number 4.
'Abdullah bin Abi Qays Radiyallahu 'Anhu reports: 'I inquired from 'Aayeshah Radiyallahu 'Anha about the recital of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam, did he 'recite softly or audibly? She replied: 'He recited in both ways'. I said: 'Alhamdulillaah, (Praise be to, Allah), who has accorded us easiness in the matter'. (According to the situation whatever was proper, reciting softly or audibly was adopted).

Commentary
This question, as has been mentioned in the jaami' Tirmidhi, is regarding the recital at the time of tahajjud. Sayyiditina 'Aayeshah Radiyallahu 'Anha replying that he recited both softly, and audibly, may also mean that he recited both tones in the same night.
This is also correct that in one night he recited the entire salaah audibly, and on another night he recited the entire salaah softly. Both are correct, and there is no harm in reciting in both manners. At times it is better to recite audibly, especially where it is intended to persuade others, or it will create strength to recite. Where there is a possibility that one will be troubled, or where it is doubted that this will create pride, it is better not to recite audibly as it is important to consider those present. When sometimes both are of the same nature, then it is advisable to recite in a slightly audible tone. It was the practice ol Sayyidina Abubakr Radiyallahu 'Anhu to recite softly in the tahajjud. Sayyidina 'Umar Radiyallahu 'Anhu used to recite audibly. Once Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam passed both at night and witnessed the practices of both. When they attended the noble gathering of Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam in the morning Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam discussed this. Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallarn said to Sayyidina Abubakr Radiyallahu 'Anhu. 'When I passed you, you were reciting softly'. He replied: 'That great being with whom I was conversing was listening'. Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam then said to Sayyidina 'Umar Radiyallahu 'Anhu: 'When I passed you, you were reciting loudly'. Sayyidina 'Umar Radiyallahu 'Anhu replied: 'The intention was to awaken those who were carelessly sleeping, and to keep away the shaytaan'. Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam approved the explanations of both, and said to Sayyidina Abubakr Radiyallahu 'Anhu 'Raise your voice a little' and to Sayyidina 'Umar Radiyallahu 'Anhu: 'Lower your voice a little'.

(301) Hadith Number 5
Ummi Haani Radiyallahu 'Anha reports: 'I heard Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam reciting (the Qur-aan in the Masjidul Haraam) at night, while I was on the rooftop of my house'.

Commentary
This will mean that Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam recited very clearly and with an audible tone, that I could hear it on the rooftop of my house. Normally at night due to quietness the voice travels quite a distance. On the rooftop which is open it could be heard better, especially when the house is near.

(302) Hadith Number 6.
'Abdullah bin Mughaffal Radiyallahu 'Anhu says: 'I saw Rasulullah Sallallahu'Alayhi Wasallam riding his camel on the day when Makkah was conquered, he was reciting:
'Lo! We have given thee (O Muhammad) a signal victory, That Allah may forgive thee of thy sin that which is past and that which is to come, .. .'-Surah Fath: 1-2
He says: 'He read it and repeated it'. Mu'aawiyah bin Qurrah Radiyallahu 'Anhu (who is a narrator in the chain of this hadith) says: 'If I did not fear the people would surround me, I should have recited it in the same tone'.

Commentary
According to the 'Arabic language tar-jee' means to return or repeat. It means that the sound is repeated. The tafseer (commentary) of it is related by Sayyidina 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal Radiyallahu 'Anhu himself as Aa-Aa. Some of the 'ulama state this means to clear the voice and recite. Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallhu 'Alayhi Wasallam was very happy on the conquest of Makkah, and it becoming Darrul Islaam, therefore he was reciting with enjoyment. The research of my late father -May Allah fill his grave with nur-is that since Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam was sitting on a camel, its walking and moving made it seem that the sound was being repeated. For this reason Sayyidina 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal Radiyallahu 'Anhu explained is as Aa-Aa and Sayyidina Mu'aawiyah Radiyallahu 'Anhu did not attempt to demonstrate it, because he feared people would begin gathering around him. According to this explanation it will not contradict the following hadith. This humble servant prefers this explanation, because according to the first explanation it will mean to recite clearly and with a good melodious voice, then what fear shall there be of people gathering around. It is necessary to recite the Qur-aan correctly, wherein there is no singing tune. In many ahaadith under diffrent headings it has been stressed that the Qur-aan must be recited with tarteel and a good intonation. I have compiled some of these ahaadith in my kitaab 'Chehl Hadith;. Those who are interested may read it.

(303) Hadith Number7.
Qataadah Radiyallahu 'Anhu narrates that Allah gave to every Nabi that He had sent a beautiful feature and beautiful voice. Your Nabi Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam also had a beautiful feature and a beautiful voice. Rasulullah Sallallhu 'Alayhi Wasallam did not recite in a melodious tone as singers do.

Commentary
Apparently this hadith seems to contradict the previous one, explained in the commentary of the previous hadith. It means that he did not repeat the sound whilst reciting. Some of the 'ulama take this to mean as singing and reciting, and that it has been prohibited in many ahaadith to recite with a singing tone.

(304) Hadith Number 8.
Ibn 'Abbaas Radiyallahu 'Anhu says: 'Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam raised his voice only to the extent, that it might have been possible that if he recited in the house, those in the courtyard might be able to listen'.

Commentary
The voice did not reach beyond the courtyard. The reciting of the Qur-aan softly and audibly are both better according to the circumstances. On a correct and suitable occasion, or where for a reason it is desirable to recite audibly, there one should recite audibly. If there exists a fear that it will create show etc., there one should recite softly. The object is that according to circumstances it keeps changing, therefore, Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam has said the one that recites the Qur-aan audibly is like the one that openly gives sadaqah, and the one who recites softly is like the one who gives sadaqah secretly. Concerning sadaqah, at times it is better to openly reveal the giving of it and at times it is better to conceal it. Circumstances should be taken into consideration, which change from time to time. This rule applies to the reciting of the Qur-aan also.
