Dars e Imam-Ya Dead

“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)

Narrated Abu Hurayra I heard the Prophet say: “By the one in Whose hand is Abu al-Qasim’s soul, `Isa ibn Maryam shall descend as a just and wise ruler. He shall destroy the cross, slay the swine, eradicate discord and grudges, and money shall be offered to him but he will not accept it. Then he shall stand at my grave side and say: Ya Muhammad! and I will answer him.Ibn Hajar al-`Asqalani cites it in al-Matalib al-`aliya (Kuwait, 1393/1973)Abu Ya`la relates it with a sound (sahih) chain in his Musnad Volume No. 11, Page No. 462, Published by Dar ul Kutb al-iLmiyyah;

Quran states: So Salih left them, saying: “O my people! I did indeed convey to you the message for which I was sent by my Lord: I gave you good counsel, but ye love not good counselors!”(Quran 7/79The word “O my people! is mentioned for those who died, it surely conveys the idea that they(kafirs) cannot only Hear but also alive in their grave.

Tafsir ibn e Khateer Says for 7/79- These were the words of admonishment which Salih exchanged with his nation after “ALLAH HAD DESTROYED THEM” for denying him and also becoming renegades against him, rejecting to accept the Haqq (truth) plus giving preference to misguidance over guidance. Hadrat Salih (a.s) said these words after they were “DESTROYED AND THEY HEARD THEM (WORDS) TOO”

In relevance to this It is narrated in the 2 books of Sahih (i.e. Bukhari and Muslim) that the Messenger ﷺ defeated the kufaar in Badr … (then Imam Ibn Kathir mentions the sahih hadith of dead hearing the call; as mentioned before)
[Tafsir Ibn Kathir under 7:79 for this Quranic verse]

Narrated Abu Talha:”On the day of Badr, the Prophet ordered that the corpses of twenty four leaders of Quraish should be thrown into one of the dirty dry wells of Badr. When he halted at the edge of the well, he addressed the corpses of the Quraish infidels by their names and their fathers’ names, “O [YA] so-and-so, son of so-and-so and O so-and-so, son of so-and-so! Would it have pleased you if you had obeyed Allah and His Apostle? We have found true what our Lord promised us. Have you too found true what your Lord promised you? “‘Umar said, “O Allah’s Apostle! You are speaking to bodies that have no souls!” Allah’s Apostle said, “By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad’s soul is, you do not hear, what I say better than they do.”[Sahih Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 59, Number 314]

above the Aqah Karim ﷺ has used the word YA (O) for dead non muslims which is clear proof that it was can used even after death as dead are alive .So if Sahih hadiths prove using it for Dead kafirs than how can one call using it for Aqah Karim ﷺ as Shirk [Naoozbila]

And Anas b. Malik reported that:Allah’s Messenger ﷺ let the dead bodies of the unbelievers who fought in Badr (lie unburied) for three days. He then came to them and sat by their side and called them and said: O Abu Jahl b. Hisham, O Umayya b. Khalaf, O Utba b. Rab’ila, O Shaiba b. Rabi’a, have you not found what your Lord had promised with you to be correct? As for me, I have found the promises of my Lord to be (perfectly) correct. Umar listened to the words of Allah’s Apostle ﷺ and said: Allah’s Messenger, how do they listen and respond to you? They are dead and their bodies have decayed. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, what I am saying to them, even you cannot hear more distinctly than they, but they lack the power to reply. Then’he commanded that they should be buried in the well of Badr.[Sahih Muslim, Book 040, Number 6869]
Note-Here the Prophet ﷺ said , even you cannot hear more distinctly than they , Hence it proves that even Kafirs who are Dead can hear more clearly then alive can or equally let alone be Muslims and Prophets (aleh islam)
Rasool Allah ﷺ says “O Abu Jahl….. O Umayya….. O Utba…” for Kafirs after they died, Then why cant we use “Ya Rasool Allah [saww] for our Beloved Prophet (saleh ala walihi wasalam) after his death ,

Sahih Hadith states: Sayyindina lbn Abbas narrated that Allah’s Messenger — passed by some graves of Madinah. He turned his face towards them, and said: Peace be on you, O people of the grave![ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْقُبُورِ] May Allah forgive us and you. You have gone before us and we are to follow.[Sunan tirmidhi Chapter 59 Hadith # 1055]See how Aqah karim [salehalawaalihi wasalam] taught the whole ummah a Dua to recite for the dead or near the graves using the word “YA”

What does Every muslim Recites in Salah 5 times a day
 “All the best compliments and the prayers and the good things are for Allah. Peace and Allah’s Mercy and Blessings be on you, O (YA) Prophet! Peace be on us and on the pious slaves of Allah, I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and I also testify that Muhammad is Allah’s slave and His Apostle.” so all muslims say , O (YA) Prophet every day in salat, even after His ﷺ death, is it shirk , is ummah doing shirk ? These all arguments are from Sahih hadiths and most authentic — tafsirs [e.g Tafseer ibn kathir ] And these prove without a doubt that saying YA for Prophets [aleh islam] and Great Pious Muslims [awliyas] is a Sunnah.

Now coming to other Salafs [taba tabeen] even Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal ( (ra)) endorsed istighatha
Ibn Kathir reports: Imam Ahmad( (ra)) told: I have performed hajj (pilgrimage) five times of which three were on foot. I have spent 30 Dirhams in one Hajj. In one of my pilgrimages I lost my way. And I was walking. Then I began to tell “ O the servants of Allah, help me on my way. And I continued this till reach the way. (al bidaya wal nihaya)

Abdullah bin Masud [ra] has narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said:When you lose your means of transport in a jungle, you should call: ‘O creatures of Allah! Help me, recover my transport! O creatures of Allah! Help me, recover my transport!’ There are many of Allah’s creatures on this earth. They will help you recover it. Tabarani narrated it in al-Mujam-ul-kabir (10:217#10518); Abuyala Musnad (9:177); Ibn us Sunni, Amal-ul-yawm wal-laylah (p.162#502) Haythami, Majma-uz-zawaidd (10:132) Imam‘Asqalani in almatalibul aliyah (3:239#3375)

Hijrat/migration

For the sake of the Allah.

From ghaflat/heedlessness to zikr/remembrance (baatin hijrat)

From bad deeds to good deeds (zaahir hijrat)

From ghair/desires  to Allah(fikr/iradah/himmat/thinking towards Allah) (highest hijrat)

We are just travelers in this world.

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)
