Allah has sent a Prophet who recites the Ayat, purifies the souls and teaches the meaning of the ayat of Allah. The maker of mankind was obligated to provide guidance to man. Allah has to provide this guide. He states elsewhere in the Quran that Allah has done a great favor on you when He gave you a prophet. This is a very big favor on mankind. The third place is where Prophet Ibraheem asks Allah to send a Rasool among the progeny of Hazrat Ismaeel after he left Bibi Hajira. The Besat of Rasool is a big favor on mankind, a means to recognize the wisdom of Allah. Did Allah make our Prophet as a result of the prayer of Ibraheem? Dua is greater that the result of the blessing you get from it thus the dua of Ibraheem would be bigger than the Prophet. There are two kinds of dua one wherein you don’t know the future and ask for a favor from Allah. The other is where you know that a Prophet is to come and you are praying to ask that he may be from the progeny of Ismaeel. The third possibility that Ibraheem already knew that the Prophet is to be from the progeny of Ismaeel. This is similar to the example where we ask each how are you and how is our family even though we are well aware of the conditions of each others family. This is a means of showing your love to each other. In a similar fashion Ibraheem knew all the attributes of our Prophet and that he is to come in the progeny of Ismaeel but he asked this dua just to show his closeness to Allah.
Mecca is the place where there used to be mucca or clapping. Kaaba is at the place where you do bucca or stay. The Quran states that the kaaba is not the place of trade, the place where people did clapping but the place where prophets lived.
The common translation that the Prophet was sent from the illiterate people and was of them. This is wrong as the illiterate person would not be able to recite the ayats. Arabic is a difficult language with emphasis on pronunciation and accent. The indian / pakistani has a differnet pronunciation and an irani is different. The Quran has in the very first sura praise for Allah, dua and ask for help from Allah.
Search the entire Quran and you will not be able to show me anywhere that it is wajib to recite khaza namaaz. It is clearly written in the Quran that we have to make up our khaza rooza. This is because if man knows who Allah is then he will not forget him and will not forget prayer whereas roza is for a particular time of the year. Namaaz can be done anywhere in any condition. If you are unable to do wudu then you can do tayammum on the dashboard and do namaaz, you can start the namaaz in traffic and move with the traffic and then do namaaz as the traffic slows but do not do khaza namaaz. If you are thirsty and someone goes to wash the glass and then bring water but if someone else brings you water right away then this is more appreciated. Therefore never make your namaaz khaza.
When Islam started conquering and kaneez women were brought to Medina from Rome, Persia and Africa then they started mispronouncing the Arabic then Imam Ali called a man to write the Arabic Grammar. This was the first time that zabar and zeer were placed in the Quran. Thus the zabar and zeer of the Quran were put in their proper places by Imamm Ali. The Prophet recited the ayat and Imam Ali made the grammar of the Quran. Imam Ali stated that he who is the owner of his nafs then he has succeded. He has stated how can a person rule over someone else when he is unable to rule over himself. Allah stated come to one court and become Allah's slave and you will have freedom from all else. The Prophet is asking first come to one Allah. If you pray to 360 gods then this is a hard thing to do.
Rasool is also showing manners. The first thing that Prophet established is obedience of parents. A person came and gave the manners taught by the prophet to his family. He taught them to listen to your parents, lower your eyes in front of them and obey them. Surmaya the mother of Ammar came to the Prophet and became muslims as a result of the manners of the Prophet. The kuffar ripped her apart using camels but her family did not move off the path of Islam. When Ammar was tested and he was tortured then he stated that you are right to the kaffirs. Then he ran to the Prophet and confessed. The Prophet asked what did your heart state? He replied that his heart did not believe that which he stated to the kaffirs. The Prophet stated that if you believe in your heart and your life is at stake then you can state that which will make the kaffirs happy. Imam Ali stated of Ammar that he would have a stature as a believer he would have a ranking but he was not patient. The Prophet made Ammar a sign and told people that if you ever see a battle between muslims then the group who kills Ammar then this group is in the wrong. In the battle of Siffin he was killed by the opposes of Imam Ali.
In Islam there is no importance to skin color etc. There is purification of the soul and not of the body. Color and race have no importance in Islam. Allah has created us in so many colors and forms and a black man such as Bilaal was the muezzin of the Prophet. The man who freed Bilaal was not the muezzin (Imam Ali). There were many more people with proper pronunciation and more handsome than Bilaal. He mispronounces seen and sheen. The Prophet replies that even though you may think that he is mispronouncing Allah hears his seen as sheen. Bilaal had given an azan with hayya alal khairul lamal and aliun wali ullah at Ghadeer and this is not bidat. The person who is more pious is more deserving of Allah's favors. Allah also has suloh. The Prophet took people from many communities and made a committee. He asked them to promise that hey would help all. Abu Lahab and Abu Jehal were also in this group. A person came and demanded his right from the Prophet and asked of his right from Abu Jehal. The Prophet immediately asked Abu Jehal to give the mans right. Abu Jehal gave this right away. People asked him why he did so he replied that there were two angry camels on either side of the prophet then I had to comply with him. The Prophet could have forced Abu Jehal to accept Islam but this would not have purified his nafs therefore he did not to do so. At the time of the Prophet he made a league of people from many places such as a league of nations. Hajj means to gather to beg of Allah.
The Prophet made people wear the ehram on the order of Allah so that all become equal. He made people wear unstitched plain white cloth. He made us recite talbiah and proceed on hajj. The minute someone recites the talbiah his sins are completely forgiven. Oh Allah you have called a sinner like me to you and will forgive me. There is no chairperson in this hajj. There is a starting point and ending point to the tawaaf around the kaaba it starts at the hajr e aswad. He could have nominated a person to show where the tawaaf starts. Imam Ali kissed the hajr when the tawaaf started. He stated that you are a stone and cannot harm me and I am doing this because my Prophet did this. Imam Ali did not stated that this is not the stone you think this is a stone that will give witness to Allah on the day of judgement. You are making the hajr a witness. You should remember that you are doing tawaaf of Hajira and Ismaeel's grave. You have to go around these graves and if you fail to do this then your tawaaf is invalid. Why is Allah making you do this this is because Hajira established the city and Ismaeel built the house of Allah. Thus if you go to Medina to do ziyarat of the pride of Ismaeel this is not biddat.
Shariyat asks you to do wudu before namaaz, then you should comb your hair then apply perfume wear clean clothes then go to the jnimaaz. This shows that Alah did not give you liberty from a physical standpoint. Youu should chew food 40 times before you swallow after you eat food you should was you hands and then touch your eyelids. This is to thank Allah. You should sit down when you wear clothes itis better for you to do this. A person would stand and wear clothes until age 50 and as he lost his balance he remembered the orders of the Prophet and cried when he realized the wisdom of this command. Do not wear black shoes. What could be the wisdom behind this? I do not know. Do not wear black clothes this is also makrooh. On wearing black clothes man becomes proud. Bani Abbzas made their clothes black as a result of this pride. The Prophet is guiding us at every level and purifying us at every level. Those arabs who did not know how to eat learnt how to eat, dress travel and lose their pride. Those arabs who would cheat the most, do battle the most and had the greatest pride he changed them. The proud were changed. Ghibta means that on seeing someone else’s blessing you pray to Allah that Allah give me that blessing that is better than his and preserve his blessing also this is different from pride.
In the battle of badr most people from the muslim side did not have weapons (313) there were 7 horses and 2 camels and they were fighting a army of thousands. They took the strength of their belief. The Quran made each of them capable of fighting 20 and then 200. In the battle of ohad there was a loss of belief and Allah showed this in the battle. When anyone comes in front of us as a representative of the Prophet then he must have all his qualities. Imam Hussain has stated that they are able to move one from error to good and this is politics meaning teaching the wild animal how to behave. Imam Hussain states that he is the biggest politician. Wherever Imam Hussain passed he made it clear that these people did not become muslim. He invited those he knew were momin by inviting them. The caravan of Imam Hussain gradualy moved toward Karbala. The women of Medina stoped the caravan many times as it was leaving Medina. When Imam Hussain saw Sughra coming behind the caravan using the support of a staff. She probable reminded Imam Hussain about his mother who used to follow her children in this manner. She replied that she came to give goodbye to her loved ones. Sughra asked for Imam Hussain to give Asghar to her. Imam Hussain stated thart Allah asked for him to take Ali Asghar. People came forward to ask Ali Asghar to come to them adn he did not leave his sister. But when Imam Hussain came forward and said something in the ear of the baby and the baby leap into Imam Hussain. Sughrta asked the Imam what did you state in the baby's ear?--- When the caravan reached the place of zamroot there were two horse riders who came to Imam Hussain. They stated that they are messengers from Muslim. They stated that they left kkufa when the dead body of Muslim was being dragged in the streets of kufa. Imam Hussain called the daughter of Muslim and kissed her on the head and she asked him why did you treat me as an orphan. Imam UHussain stated that your father has been kiklled. But of sakin a when Imam Hussain was killed ----.
