Love for Mustafa Question 86: To what extent should we have love for our Beloved and Blessed Rasool         ٖ   ?

[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 10, Surah At-Taubah, Ayah 24) And the Rasool of mankind, the Peace of our heart and mind, the most Generous and Kind   ٖ         has stated: ‘Z عK جم 4س لن ل دہ و و u م ن و ل د ٖہ و ح S لي ن و } ك | ح م ح دك ؤ م ن ي لا ‘ i.e. No one amongst you can become a perfect Muslim unless he loves me more than his father, offspring and all the people.

These are the people in whose hearts Islamic faith has been engraved by Allah and they have been helped with Ruh from Him. They will be made to enter gardens beneath which flow brooks. They will live in them forever. Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Allah. This is the fold of Allah. The fold of Allah is successful indeed.

(Sahih Muslim, pp. 1258, Hadees 2296-30; Mawahib-ul-Ladunniyyah, vol. 2, pp. 639) 0*   & - ? Rab hay Mu’ti yeh hayn Qaasim Rizq Is ka hay khilatay yeh hayn Allah bestows sustenance and he distributes it among bondmen Hazir and Naazir Mustafa Question 93: What is meant by ‘رِناظ و حاض] ‘ ِ Hazir and Naazir]? Answer: The word ‘Hazir’ literally means ‘Being present’ or ‘Being in front of someone’ whereas the word ‘Naazir’ implies ‘one who sees’. As far as we can see, we are Naazir up to there, and we are Hazir up to the place where we are present. For example, we can see up to the sky, so we are Naazir up to the sky but we are not Hazir in the sky because we are not present there. We can be Hazir in the room or house where we are present. Here is now the Shar’i meaning of Hazir and Naazir: By the bestowment of Allah , a bondman whilst staying at one place sees the entire world as he sees his palm and hears voices from near and far. Or he visits the entire world within a moment and fulfils the needs of the needy from hundreds of miles away. This pace [of visiting the world] may be either with soul or with a similar body or with the body buried in the grave or with the body that is present at any other place. (Ja`-al-Haq, pp. 145) Question 94: How is it to say that Allah is Hazir and Naazir? Answer: It should not be said that Allah is Hazir and Naazir because Allah is free from being surrounded by any place. Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi 6< D ۡ   *  ( , E )  has said: To be Hazir and Naazir at every place is certainly not the attribute of Allah because Allah is free from being surrounded by any place. (Ja`-al-Haq, pp. 143) Question 95: Is the Beloved Rasool   ٖ         Hazir and Naazir? www.dawateislami.net Fundamental Teachings of Islam – Part 3 46 Answer: Yes! By the bestowal of Allah , the Beloved and Blessed Rasool   ٖ         is Hazir and Naazir i.e. while being present in his luminous grave, he   ٖ         is observing every deed of every person of his Ummah by means of the light of Nubuwwah. He   ٖ         sees the whole world as he sees the palm of his hand. He   ٖ         can hear voices from near and far. By Divinely-bestowed power, he   ٖ         can be present wherever he wants and at as many places as he wants
