Dars e Imam-Defination
“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)
People may be
1. jahl (ignorance)-to absolutely not know something
2. nisyaan (forgetfulness) –to previously have known something which did not stay in memory.
3. zuhool(abstractedness)- to have something in memory but not pay attention to it.
similarly listening ,seeing ,hearing are Allah subhanu waatala qualities ,even we have those qualities but our qualities are all through Allah subhanu waatala bestowal and are haadith (finite and creation) .there is no shirk commited through this.like wise the holy prophet ﷺ knowledge of unseen is successive (ataai) and haadith but Allah subhanu waatala knowledge is zaati,qadeem and infinite.therefore to ascribe partner in Allahs qualities whether it be totally or in part is shirk.
Allama ismail haqqi (ra) writes hadrat nuh has cried so hard that his name became nuh.Allah subhanu waatala loves the crying of his beloveds .same way hadrat yaqoob (as) crying was not because of being unware of hadrat yusuf (as) rather “figuration is the arcade leading to reality” –tafseer roohul bayaan.
hadrat yusuf (as) kept benyameen back in egypt through an artifice(heela).his brothers returned to swear that benyameen had become a royal prisoner and even presented the testimony of the travelers in caravans ,however it was said “your lowerself (nafs) has taught you heela” –12/83 .this proves that he had knowledge of the true incident .when he said “soon Allah subhanu waatala will make the 3 meet me “-12/83 .hadrat yacoob (as) knew that 2 sons (benyameen and yahuda) were in egypt along with hadrat yusuf (as).
When zulaikha locked hadrat yusuf (as) in the house to express bad thought hadrat yaqoob (as) came inside and pressing his finger beneath his teeth gestured to the following “o my son this is not your action” you are son of a prophet” quran says about it” he too would have made the intent of zulaikha if he did not see the proof of his lord-12/24.
the brothers of yusuf (as) informed hadrat yacoob (as) that wolves have eaten his son however through the shirt of hadrat yusuf (as) and the message of the wolves hadrat yacoob (as) know that they were false .the wolves said” the flesh of the prophets is haraam on us”surah yusuf tafseer khaanzin and roohul bayaan .
when hadrat yacoob (as) knows so much and conditions the holy prophet ﷺ is the head of all prophets what is his heights of knowledge?
the holy prophet ﷺ had knowledge of the meat being poisoned but knew through the command of Allah subhanu waatala that the poison will not be effective .He also knew that Allahsubhanu waatala will was that he eat it in order for its effect to surface at the time of his demise( that it may include the quality of martyrdom –shahadaat).
the holy prophet ﷺ knew that the people from beere-maoona were hypocrite and they would make 70 sahaba martyrs-this was will of Allah subhanu waatala because the time of matyrdom for them had approached.
Allah subhanu waatala knew that the meat was poisoned at khaiber and the people of beere-maoona will make the 70 sahaba shaheed.why didn’t Allah subhanu waatala send revelation(wahi) to stop this?
Hadrat ibrahim as became ready to place a knife on his sons neck –it was being content with Allah subhanu waatala pleasure .
the holy prophet ﷺ was bestowed with the knowledge of unseen itself before his birth because prior to it ,he was a nabi in the realm of the souls (alam e arwah)-hadith is there.
nabi means he who communicates the unseen.quran says “o people of the book! Our messenger who expounds many things you have hidden of the revelation and who overlooks many things has come to you”5/15 this proves the holy prophet ﷺ had complete knowledge of all other revealed books.
When hadrat jibreal (as) came to the cave of hira for the first time he submitted to the prophet ﷺ “read “ he didn’t say read this certain ayat. Read is only said to the person who knows . the holy prophet ﷺ answered “iam not a learner meaning iam the teacher and have already learnt” .the lawhe mahfooz contains the holy quran and was incorporated in the knowledge of the the holy prophet ﷺ from before .he was nabi prior to his birth and the recipient of the quran.
like hadrat esa (as) said as soon as he was born “ Allah has given me the kitaab(ingil)”.hadrat esa proved the innocence of his mother hadrat maryam and he has marifat that his rabb is Allah subhanu waatala even at time of entry into this world. This proves that he knew of his book from this time.
Muslims that have entered jannat will enter jahannam to take out the jahannami muslims the former will recognize them by the sajda marks on their foreheads .it will be said to the muslim from jannat “take out whoever you find to have imaan the size of even a rice grain in his or her heart-mishkaat baabul hauz-was –shafaat .
Turning towards Allah (tawajuaillallaah -asking forgiveness) =toubah(servant is taib)
Allah turning towards servant (for forgiving servant)=tawwaab
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
