Nazar-O-Niaz(vows and oblations) 2

“One lady came to the Prophet when he was returning from one of his battles and she said, “Ya Rasulallah, I have made an oath that if Allah sends you back safe, I would play this drum near you and sing for you.”The Prophet (saws) said, “Fulfill your oath.” (abudawud)

Sad Bin Jubayr(ra)reported that Ibn ‘Abbas(ra)said: “If a man gets sick in Ramadan and then dies without fasting, food should be given on his behalf – without a need to make up for the fasting. But if he had made a vow (to fast), his wali should fast for him.”(abu dawood)

Once, a person vowed to slaughter a camel at a place called Bawaana. The Holy Prophet(saws) asked him if there was any concentration or festival of the Kuffaar or idols there. When he said, “No,” the Prophet (saws) replied, “Go and complete your vow.” -Mishkaat, Baabun-Nazar.

A woman from the tribe of Juhaina came to the Holy Prophet and said, “My mother had vowed to perform Hajj but she died before performing it. May I perform Hajj on my mother’s behalf” The Holy Prophet replied, “Perform Hajj on her behalf. Had there been a debt on your mother, would you have paid it or not So, pay Allah’s debt as He has more right to be paid.” (Bukhari)

Imam Bukhari (ra)states that Hadrat Abdullah ibn Umar used to read namaaz on the path wherever the Holy Prophet(saws)sometimes performed ibaadat. At some of these places, Musjids were even built. However, some were erroneously built not at the actual places of’ Rasooullah’s (saws)ibaadat. Hadrat Abdullah ibn Umar ra would never read namaaz in these Musjids and only perform ibaadat in the correct ones. (Bukhari Sharif, Vol. I, Kitaabus-Salaab, Baabu/-Masaajid Alatt fi Tareeqil-Madina) .This was entirely to attain barkat.

Allama Shaami (ra)writes. “It should be known that the credibility of Hilat (state of being Halaal) and Hurmat (state of being Haraam) is of intention at the time of slaughtering.” – Raddul­Muhtaar, Baabuz-Zabah.

Allama Ismail Haqqi (ra)writes, “Imam Ghazzali (ra)states in Ihyaa-ul-Uloorn that there are many preferable acts in our time which were prohibited in the era of the Sahaaba.”Roohul-Bayaan(ayat related to surah tauba)

Offering i.e. Nazar-O-Niaz is a deed through which the nearness is attained, it is also a source of earning the pleasure and blessings of those who have attained the nearness of god ,not only this , presentation of Nazar-O-Niaz is considered as a source of achievement and success in life.

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)
