Compilers NoteThe book before you is a collection of two lectures and several

statements delivered by my beloved master, guide and mentor,Shaikh-ul-Arab wal Ajam rif Billh Hazrat Aqdas MaulnShh Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Shib, may Allh Taala enablehis shadow to remain over us for 130 years.

It has been compiled and published under the title, The greatnessof knowledge and ulam, for the benefit of the ummah. Animportant lecture of this series was delivered in Dhaka,

Bangladesh on 24 Shabn al-Muazzam 1406 A.H.corresponding with the 4th of May 1986.

In this magnificent lecture, Hazrat Wl presents the greatnessof Islamic knowledge and the ulam in the light of the pureQurn and Ahdth of Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihe wasallam).The scholarly manner in which he presents this subject is anexcellent portrayal of Hazrat Wls deep knowledge andinsight.

There seems to be an inclination towards looking down on andmocking at the ulam by the masses, which includes a largeportion of religious people as well. The reason for this isignorance about the status and greatness of the ulam. Insh

Allh, this lecture will be sufficient to open their eyes. This

lecture will also serve as a guide for those who are working forIslam, but outside the limits of the Sharah.

We make du to Allah Ta'ala to keep Hazrat Wl amongst uswith good health and well-being for a long time. May Heprolong Hazrat Wls bounties and blessings till the day ofResurrection, and make them a means of continuous charity(sadaqah-e-jriyah) for him. May Allah Taala bestow the

bounties and blessings of Hazrat Wl in abundance upon us,

THE GREATNESS OF KNOWLEDGEAND ULAM

Why Is It Necessary To Have A Shaikh?

At present, I intend saying something about two spiritualmaladies: Anger and casting evil glances. I pray to Allah Taala

to enable me to explain properly, to bless me with His specialhelp, and to bless the speaker and the listener with sincerity.What is the meaning of listening with sincerity? It meanslistening with the intention of practising, not to merely utterexclamations of praise and enjoyment. At the same time, thespeaker must not seek exclamations of praise; rather he shouldseek sighs and moans. Exclamations of praise will not benefit, itis the sighing and moaning [in pain and repentance] that are of

benefit. It is for this reason that Hakeem-ul-Ummah Mujaddid-ul-Millah Hazrat Mauln Ashraf Al Shib Thnwrahimahullh considered his salvation in h (sighs andmoans). Hazrat has a poem in this regard:

h of what significance were you [addressing himself]? All this is byvirtue of the kindness and affection of Imdd [Hj Imddullh

rahimahullh].Hakeem-ul-Ummah Thnw rahimahullh attributed all hisintellectual and practical achievements to his shaikh, HjImddullh Shib rahimahullh. This means that the mujaddid

(reviver) of this era, the author of 1500 books, and the spiritualmentor of senior ulam negates himself and attributes all his

achievements to his shaikh. It is this very thing, which protectsman from conceitedness, pride and haughtiness. As for theperson who does not have a shaikh, he attributes everything to

himself by saying: I did this, and I did that. And when there isthis self-conceitedness, man becomes disgraced. It was thissame illness of self-conceit which Satan was suffering from, andwhich caused him to say: I, I. Senior and great ulam alignedthemselves to a shaikh in order to put an end to this self-conceitedness. History bears testimony to the fact that manysenior ulam who were suns and moons of knowledge selecteda spiritual guide and shaikh to obliterate their nafs.

A person cannot be a mentor unless he himself has a mentor toguide him. These days, a person qualifies from a madrasah, putson his graduation turban, immediately apportions a place forhimself as an imam of a musjid, and assumes the position ofspiritual mentor for those who attend his musjid. Whereas hehimself did not seek guidance from any mentor. How can aperson who does not have a spiritual guide for himself guideothers? Consequently, such people complain that the ulamhave no respect. As long as apesh/dammah remains on the wordmaulw(scholar), he will not attain respect. In other words whenmaulwi(scholar) sahib becomes muli(radish) sahib, then he will(literally) have no value like carrots and radish. The wordmaulwmeans the person of the maul. For example, the wordLhor refers to a person from Lahore, the word Peshwar

refers to a person from Peshawar, the word Lucknow refers toa person from Lucknow. Therefore, when the maulw opts forthe companionship of the pious servants of Allah Ta'ala andbecomes the person of the maul (i.e.One who has Allah Ta'alain his heart) by engaging in the remembrance of Allah Ta'ala ,then insh Allh the public will have no way of disgracinghim. As for those who disgrace and threaten him, Allah Taalashall threaten and warn such a person. The word As-salm is

one of the attributes of Allah Taala. In his book, Rh-ul-Man,

Allmah ls rahimahullh explains the word As-salm asfollows:

Who keeps His friends (auliy) safe and secure from every thing orperson which threatens them.

(Ruhul Maani, vol. 28, pg.63)

These days the masses are extremely audacious against theauliy of Allah Ta'ala and the ulam of Islam. They look at theclock of the musjid and if the imam comes one minute late, theystart speaking out against him. They consider the imam to be asteel spout, which can be opened and closed whenever theylike. If he is slightly delayed because he had to relieve himself,they ought to wait for him for five or ten minutes. However, themasses treat the imam like a slave.

Allmah Jalluddn Suyt rahimahullh quotes the followingstatement of Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihe wasallam):

Honour the ulam because they are the inheritors of the

Prophets.(Kanzul Ummal: The chapter on knowledge, vol.10, pg.150)

Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihe wasallam) also said:

The one who does not honour our ulam is not of us.

It is Disrespectful to Claim to beKnowledgeable in the Presence of Ulam

The mauln asked him: Do youhave all the Ahdth in your mind or are you objecting to my actionmerely on the basis of one Hadth? The person said: I do not knowall the Ahdth. The mauln said: The objection which youlevelled against me actually entails a major sin because you damagedthe honour of an lim. When you are an ignorant person, what rightdo you have to come and advise me? There are two Sunnahs of

Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihe wasallam), one when he was young, andthe other when he was old. When Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihewasallam) became old and his body became heavy, he used to rest hiselbows on his knees.

When you find anything objectionable about an lim, convey itto another lim. When you find anything objectionable aboutyour father, convey it to your uncle, do not go directly to your

is very audacious in entering Hell. You should first consultbooks, if you do not understand, go and consult your teachersand qualified ulam. Go to them like a beggar, not like a

person who is going to make objections. Ask them in arespectful manner: Hazrat, I have a question to ask. Ask them asthough you are a student. It is essential for the masses to reducethemselves like students when they ask the ulam.

Removing Some Misconceptions about theTurban

A non-lim asked Hazrat Thnwrahimahullh: Why dont youtie a turban? If this person was an lim he would not haveasked such a question. There are some famous statements withregard to the turban. Some say that if a person performs salhwith a turban, the reward is multiplied twenty five times.Others say that if a person performs the Jumuah salh with aturban, the reward is multiplied seventy times. However, thegreat Hadth scholar, Mull Al Qrrahimahullh writes in his

book, Maudt Kabr: these are all baselessand fabricated statements. Therefore, those who become confusedwith a little knowledge should not delve into such matters.Rather, they should refer to the source books and senior ulam.Such people may have the intelligence, but there is some heat intheir intelligence. If in any era, people start considering a non-obligatory act to be obligatory, then it becomes obligatory to

give up that act. I personally heard senior ulam and elderssaying that there is a Hadth in Bukhr Sharfwhich states thatthe Sahabah (Radhiallaho anhum) also performed salh with ahead covering (top), and that if a turban is also worn, it will begood. However, it is not permissible to consider it obligatory.

Once I went to Dhaka and saw a turban placed on the pulpit inthe musjid. Numerous flies were sitting on this turban and it

had many dirt marks on it. Just then the imam came forward to

perform the salh. He tied that turban and performed the salh.Upon completing the salh, he replaced the turban on thepulpit and went away. He wore the turban and performed the

salh solely out of fear for the musalls (those offering salhbehind the imam). In some musjids you see the musalls incontrol it is ignorance that is in control. They constantly vexthe poor imam. But if a person aligns himself to an imam who isa proper lim, he will learn the correct ruling. Nevertheless,this system came to an end in this musjid through one talk ofmine this is solely through the will of Allah Ta'ala . I said tothem, wear the turban sometimes and do not wear it at other

times so that people do not consider it to be obligatory.So Hakeem-ul-Ummah rahimahullh said to the person: I amwriting Tafsr Bayn al-Qurn at present and have to engage in a lotof research for it. This causes a great burden on my mind. I amtherefore unable to wear the turban. He then asked the person onequestion: You are asking me about wearing a turban with suchemphasis, why are you not wearing a lung (a loin cloth) bearing in

mind that wearing a lung is also a Sunnah? He replied: The lunggets open and my body becomes exposed.

It Is Not Sunnah Muakkadah to Wear a Lung

There are many areas where it is considered essential to wear alungwhereas it is sunnat-e-ghayr muakkadah (a non-emphasisedSunnah) and sunnat-e-diyah (something done out of habit).

However, one has to be very careful when wearing a lung. Ihave also seen people wearing lungs because we have studentsfrom Bangladesh studying under us. One night I saw a studentwhose lungwas in one direction while his body was in anotherdirection. We had an lim who was a teacher with us and hadqualified from Deoband. He was in the habit of wearing a lung.Once when mosquitoes bit him on his face, he covered his facewith his lung. Now tell me, is it permissible to wear a lungin

such a way that ones private parts become exposed? I therefore

say you may wear a lungduring the day and a pyjama pants atnight so that your private parts do not become exposed. This isespecially so when others are sleeping in the same room, e.g.

when there is a Tablgh ijtimor when several students sleep inthe same hostel room.

Allmah Jalluddn Suyt rahimahullh states in Jmi Saghrthat you should not sleep naked even if you sleep alone. This isbecause the angels feel ashamed and disturbed by this. Weknow that it is harm (unlawful) to cause discomfort to aMuslim. Causing discomfort to angels will be even more harm.

We were talking about the conversation between HazratThnwrahimahullh and that person who said that he does notwear a lungbecause his body becomes exposed. Hazrat Thnwrahimahullh said: I also feel hot and therefore do not wear a turban.The person said: May Allah Ta'ala increase the heat which you areexperiencing. Some ignorant people are so disrespectful. Hazratrahimahullh replied: May Allah Ta'ala make you more naked.

It is an Act of Deviation to Consider anUnnecessary to be Necessary

Hazrat Thnw rahimahullh then explained to him in a calmand collected manner that because of a lack of knowledge,people begin considering an unnecessary to be necessary. Aperson performs the tahajjud salh and reads durd (salutations

upon Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihe wasallam) day and night.However, he holds the belief that if he does not stand and readthe durd, it will never be accepted, and if he does not makesweetmeats on Laylatul Barah (15th of Shabn) he will becompletely deviated from Islam. Such a person is thuscommitting excesses in religion and is gone astray because he isconsidering an unnecessary to be necessary. Is there any Hadthwhich states that durd sharf has to be read while standing?

sweetmeats on Laylatul Barah. It is thus not correct toconsider something unnecessary as necessary.

When you stand before the blessed grave of Rasulullah(sallellaho alaihe wasallam) and read durd, you do so with asoft tone. This verse is written at the blessed grave:

) :2(

O believers! Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet.

In other words, do not raise your voices above the voice of MyProphet (sallellaho alaihe wasallam). Those whom Allah Ta'alaenabled to visit Madnah know fully well that durd is not readwith a loud voice over there. Instead, people read the durdwith a loving tone like that of the buzzing of bees. If they read italoud, it is considered disrespectful. After reading the at-tahiyyt in salh, the method of reading durd after it, was nottaught by the maulns but by Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihe

wasallam). Allah Taala taught Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihewasallam) how to perform salh on the night of Mirj(Ascension). He did not teach him to read the durd whilestanding, but while sitting. If Allah Ta'ala liked the durd to beread while standing, He would have issued the order that youmust send salutations to My Prophet (sallellaho alaihewasallam) while you are standing. But Allah Taala taught himto sit and read the durd. However, these days if you do not

stand and read durd, it is as though you have committed amajor crime. In actual fact, this displays audaciousness anddisrespect to Allah Ta'ala and Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihewasallam). It entails considering an unnecessary to benecessary, and this is a serious deviation. Friends, I thereforesay that love for Allah Taala entails acting according to thepleasure of Allah Taala and love for Rasulullah (sallellahoalaihe wasallam) entails acting on his Sunnah.

Love for Rasulullah (Sallellaho AlaiheWasallam) Entails Emulating Rasulullah

(Sallellaho Alaihe Wasallam)Many people make claims of love for Rasulullah (sallellahoalaihe wasallam)] but if you were to ask them how manySunnahs there are in salh, they do not know. Ask them theSunnahs of ablution (wud) and they do not know. Whereas ifwe live and die on the Sunnah, we will receive salvation. Tellme, there is a person who claims to love his father. His fathertells him: O my beloved son! I am ill and I have a cough. Go andbring me some medicine. He says: I am not going to do any work.But I will keep on repeating: O my father, O my father! What willthe father say to him? He will say: You are repeating father,

father, but you are not obeying my instructions. In like manner,you get some people standing and reading salt wa salm(salutations to Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihe wasallam)) with aloud voice, but when it is time to obey and follow Rasulullah

(sallellaho alaihe wasallam), they flee with their tails betweentheir legs. They do not perform salh, they do not fast, they donot pay zakh, they do not perform hajj when it becomescompulsory on them, and they do not abstain from sins. Theywill merely hold a mld (celebrating the birth of Rasulullah(sallellaho alaihe wasallam)) once a year and think that theyhave fulfilled the right of Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihewasallam).

A great poet of Iran came to Delhi on one occasion so all thepeople hastened to meet him because he had written a poem inpraise of Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihe wasallam).

are shaving your beard! So he replied in a very poetic mannerand said: I am shaving off my beard but I am not shaving offanyones heart. The pious man said: You are shaving off the heartof Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihe wasallam).

Friends! O lovers of Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihe wasallam)! Oyou who hope for Raslullhs (sallellaho alaihe wasallam)intercession on the day of Resurrection! Rasulullah (sallellaho

alaihe wasallam) turns his face away from those who shave offtheir beards. A person will be resurrected in the condition inwhich he died. You should therefore constantly make du toAllah Taala saying: O Allh! Do not cause me to die as long as Ido not have the blessed appearance of Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihewasallam) so that I could read this poem on the day of Resurrection:

O Allh! I have come with the appearance of Your beloved. O Allh!

I have come with the appearance, You transform it into reality.

A Hadth states that a person will be resurrected in the mannerin which he passed away. What reply will you give toRasulullah (sallellaho alaihe wasallam) on the day of

Resurrection if he were to ask you: The Sikhs kept beards outof love for their Guru Nanak, but you found no shame for mylove? What wrong did you find in my appearance that causedyou not to keep a beard?What reply will you give to him? IfAllah Taala disliked a beard, He would not have permitted HisProphets (Alaihimus salaam) to keep beards. All the piousservants of Allah Taala kept beards.

The Incident between Hazrat Ms (Alaihissalaam) and the Magicians

All the magicians who had come to compete against HazratMs (Alaihis Salaam) had all adopted the dress of Ms(Alaihis salaam); they had beards, wore long kurtahs and hadstaffs in their hands. They adopted this appearance so that ifthey were defeated, they will not be recognized if they have toflee. They did this as a precaution. However, because theirappearance was like that of Ms (Alaihis salaam), Allah Taala

liked it and blessed all of them with mn and they all fell intoprostration. Whereas the intention of all was not correct. WhenMss (Alaihis salaam) snake swallowed all their staffs, theyrealized that this was not magic. This is because magic entailsenchantment and mesmerism. The magicians had mesmerizedthe people into thinking that their staffs had changed intosnakes but which were staffs in essence. On the other hand, thestaff of Ms (Alaihis salaam) had really changed into a real

snake by the order of Allah Ta'ala. Consequently, this snakeswallowed all the snakes of the magicians which were actuallyropes. The magicians realized that this was no magic. Had itbeen magic, the staff would not have changed into a real snake,it would have remained a staff but would have appeared to be asnake. It is for this reason that they all fell into prostration andsaid:

We believe in the Lord of the worlds, the Lord of Ms and Hrn.(Srah al-Arf, 7: 121-122)

Because the people used to consider Pharaoh as their lord, themagicians clarified that they believe in the Lord of Ms andHarun (Alaihimas salaam).

The mn of siyah

Hazrat Ms (Alaihis salaam) said to Allah Ta'ala: O Allh! I

endeavoured a lot on Pharaoh and his minister, Hmn, to the extentthat I perspired a lot, but You still did not bless them with mn,although Pharaoh did understand a little of what I was saying. Onone occasion, he said to his wife siyah (Alaihas salaam) (whohad already accepted mn but could not disclose it): Should Ibelieve in Ms? He is inviting me towards Allah Taala and sayingto me: O Pharaoh! If you believe, Allah Taala will bless you with

four bounties:

1. You will always remain healthy and never fall ill.2. Your youthfulness will remain forever.3. You will be blessed with such internal attachment to

Allah Taala that you will give preference to death overthis worldly life.

4. Allah Taala will also bless you with kingdom in theHereafter. In other words, Allah Taala will rectify your

afterlife.On hearing this message of Ms (Alaihis salaam) from themouth of Pharaoh, siyah (Alaihas salaam) said: Allah Taala isreminding you who are a tyrant and a person who claims divinity. Otyrant! Why did your gall bladder not burst out of happiness? This isno small favour that the generous Master is reminding a tyrant likeyou. O Pharaoh! My advice to you is that you should not consultanyone. Embrace mn immediately. You ought to have accepted this

invitation happily there and then. I am astonished that you did not dieout of happiness. A single head covering (top) can cover the blemishof a bald man. But the mercy of Allah Taala wants to cover all your

faults and blemishes. She repeatedly called out the name ofAllah Taala and began crying profusely.

Do Not Consult Unworthy People

Pharaoh then consulted his minister, Haman, and asked him

whether what his wife was saying was correct or not. He said:O Hmn! I constantly seek your advice on matters related to theearth; I now seek your advice on matters related to the heavens. Ifthis wretched soul was a heavenly creation, he could havegiven him correct advice. But he was merely a worm of thisearth!Mauln Rmrahimahullh says that when Allah Taala createsa bird for flying, its mouth points upwards even if its wings

have not developed as yet, even if it is still a small chick. Itsmouth remains pointing upwards because it has to fly in thefuture and it has to become a flying bird. You will see thehatchlings of a pigeon constantly looking towards the sky eventhough they are still wingless and featherless. They constantlyflap their sides because they have to fly in the future. On theother hand, the calves of cows constantly look downwardsbecause they are not going to fly. In like manner, when Allah

Taala intends to make a person His beloved servant, Heenables him to constantly ponder over the heavens and theearth, and to reflect over his Creator. Mauln Rmrahimahullh says:

Like the hatchling of a pigeon which constantly looks towards the sky

even though it does not have any wings at present. It is constantlywaiting for the time when its wings appear so that it could fly.A Magnificent Bounty for siyah (Alaihas

Salaam)Nevertheless, when Pharaoh came to know of his wifes mn,

the tyrant imposed many hardships on her, and vexed herprofusely. He made her lie down on a wooden board and

knocked nails through her hands and legs. She eventuallypassed away in this painful manner. The Mufti of Baghdad,Allmah Sayyid Mahmd ls rahimahullh writes in Rh al-

Man:

It is related that siyah (alaihas salaam) shall be a wife of ourProphet (sallellaho alaihe wasallam) in Paradise.

(Ruhul Maani, vol.25, pg.136)

Die in the name of Allah Taala and see the joy of that. Thecorpses over which you are dying will not give you anything.In fact, the dead plus the one who is going to join the dead willboth be dead. The beautiful women of this world are also dead.They will decompose and rot one day in their graves. Thosewho are dying over them will also die one day. The one who isgoing to die in the future is as if he or she is already dead.When the dying kills himself over something which is going todie, it is like a double dying.

O what wrong you are committing that a dying person is killinghimself over a dying person! The one who is filling his breath over

beautiful women is not a person of high aspirations.

The Gift for Giving Ones Life for Allh

But if you were to give your life for Allah Ta'ala, what rewardwill you receive? Look at the lofty status which Imam Ahmadibn Hambal rahimahullh received. Mull Al Qrrahimahullhwrites in volume one ofMirqt that his actual name was ImamAhmad ibn Muhammad ibn Hambal. His fathers name wasMuhammad and his grandfathers name was Hambal.However, he became popularly known as Imam Ahmad ibnHambal and his fathers name became concealed. He was a

on the truth. The khalfah issued many threats to him that heshould abandon his standpoint or else he will be torturedseverely. But Imam Ahmad ibn Hambal rahimahullh remainedfirm on his view and did not bother about any punishment.Eventually, the khalfah decided to lash him and this causeduproar in Baghdad. The people began talking that ImamAhmad ibn Hambal rahimahullh is going to be put through atribulation today. When he received the first lash, he said: Sub-

hnallh. When he received the second lash, he said: L haulawa l qwwata ill billh. When he received the third lash, hesaid: No calamity will afflict us except that which Allah Taala hasdestined for us. He is our Master. He was lashed so much that histrouser belt which was made of fabric became open. Heimmediately looked towards the heavens and his lips were stillmoving but no one knew what he was saying. The trouser belt

became tight on its own and Allah Taala saved him frombecoming exposed.
