Dars e Imam-Aulia Help

Dras E Imam, Shariath

“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)

Sayyidi Mohammed Farghal (radi Allahutala anhu) states: “I am indeed amongst those Saints who can assist you from the grave. If, therefore, you have any wish or need come to my grave and facing me, mention your requirements. I will fulfill them.”

It is recorded that while Hazrat Sayyidi Madeen Ahmed Ashmooni (radi Allahutala anhu) was performing the Wudhu, he suddenly threw his sandal towards the eastern side of the city. A year later a man arrived and described a strange incident. He said: “My daughter was once walking in the jungle, when an evil man tried to entrap her. She did not at the time remember the name of her father’s Murshid, yet in panic, she screamed, ‘O Murshid of my father, save me!  Suddenly, a sandal appeared from thin air and rendered the evil man unconscious.” It is stated that the sandal is still in the possession of the mentioned family.

Imaam Arif Billah Sayyidi Abdul Wahab Sha’raani (radi Allahutala anhu), in his book, “Lawaaqi-ul-Anwaar Fi Tabqaatil Akhyaar”, records a strange and miraculous incident. It is recorded that a Mureed of Sayyidi Mohammed Khawri (radi Allahutala anhu) was once passing through the market, when the foot of the animal he was riding slipped. In extreme panic he screamed, “Ya Sayyidi Muhammad, Ya Ghamri!” Co-incidently, in that very market place, the captured ruler, ibn Omar Sa’eed, was also passing through. He inquired from the Mureed as to who was Sayyidi Mohammed. When he was told who he was, he asked permission to use the name of the Murshid so that he could also be released. As soon as he had proclaimed the name of the great Wali, the spiritual master appeared and driving away the capturers, freed the ruler. The Shaikh then blessed the ruler, and thereafter departed.

Among the excellences of Hazrat Sayyidi Moosa Abu Imraan (radi Allahutala anhu), it is recorded that whenever his Mureeds used to call to him, he immediately use to assist them, even though the Mureed was as far away as a year’s journey or even more.

Before the passing away of Moulana Rumi (radi Allahutala anhu), he revealed to his Mureeds a startling secret. He said: “Whatever conditions you may be in, remember me, so that I can be your protector and helper, irrespective of what state I may be in. In this world I have two types of relationships, one with my body and the other with you, and when, with the Mercy of Allah I am freed from this contact with my body and the world of loneliness is exposed to me, I will divert the attention of my soul to you.”

Hazrat Shah Wali’ullah (radi Allahutala anhu), records a method for achieving and fulfilling one’s needs and wishes in his book, “Al intibah fi Salasil-e-Awliya”. He states: “One should first perform two Rakaats of Nafil Salaah. After completion he should recite the following – 111 times Durood Shareef, 111 times Kalima Tamjeed and 111 times ‘Shay an Lillah, Ya Shaikh Abdal Qaadir Jilaani’.” From this book, it has been

proven that all the great Luminaries believed in the proclamation of “Shay an Lillah” as being a valid and a great solution to many unsolved problems.

Hazrat Ahmed Zarooq (radi Allahutala anhu) said: “I indeed bless my (Mureeds) with tranquillity during times of difficulty and perplexity, when cruelty and evil oppresses them and in times of misery and fear. Therefore (during these times) call to me ‘Ya Zarooq’, I will immediately come to your assistance.”

Allama Ziyadi, Allama Ajhoori, Allama Dawoodi and Allama Shaami (radi Allahutala anhum), have all prescribed a method for finding mislaid items. They state: “One should climb on to a high spot and offer Faatiha for Hazrat Sayyidi Ahmed bin Alwaan Yamaani (radi Allahutala anhu). Thereafter invoking his name one should say, ‘Ya Sayyidi Ahmed, Ya ibn Alwaan’.”

From all of the above narrations one will see that to call upon the Awliya for assistance is permissible even if they are thousands of miles away. With the permission of Allah Ta ala they certainly assist those who are in need.

Hadrat Rabee’ah ibn Ka’ab Aslami (ra)narrates that the Holy Prophet (saws)said to him, Ask I replied, “I ask you for your companionship in Jannat.” Upon this, he asked, “Is there anything else you desire to ask for?” I replied, “This is all,” Rasoolullah then said, “Help me assist you by performing extra nafl salaah.” -Mishkaat, Baabus-Sujood wa Fadhlihi. This Hadith is clear that the Holy Prophet (saws)was asked by Hadrat Rabee’ah (ra)for Jannat. Note: he did not say in reply, “You have asked me for Jannat, leaving out Allah (swt). You have become a polytheist (mushrik).” Rather, the answer was, “Your request is accepted. Is there anything else you wish for?” This is also asking from other than Allah (swt)for help. The Prophet even said, “Help me assist you in this matter by performing nafl,” which is requesting assistance from other than Allah (swt)”‘”.

Shaikh Ahdul-Haqq Muhaddith Dehlwi (ra)writes in the annotation of this Hadith, “Ask was said absolutely by the Prophet (saws). He did not restrict it to any specific thing. We know from this that all affairs are in the blessed hands of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah , He bestows whoever he wishes to and with whatever he wants with the command of his Rubb because,

فان من جودک الدنیا و ضرتھا، ومن علومک علم اللوح و القلم

This world and Hereafter are from his (Sayyiduna Rasoolullah generosity. The knowledge of the Tablet and Pen is only a portion of what he knows (uloom). If you desire the goodness of this world and the next, present yourselves in his court and ask for whatever you wish: Ashiatul-Lam Sharah Mishkaat

Stingy/misery/bakhil= one who does not see good in others.

Abdals/wali=generosity +they think he/she is better than me.

I/MYSELF is responsible for distance between Allah and creation.

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)
