FOUNDATION OF ISLAM
1.
b. First
Pillar of Islam - Part II
The
testimony, that, Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) is GOD`s last
Prophet (Messenger). In the dignities of inventions this dusty body
who is called social animal, is a perfect person, a perfect man-kind. Hadrat
Muhammad, Messenger of GOD (Peace be upon
Him) is the most perfect
eminent and complete appearance of ALMIGHTY. Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) is the real Caliph of The
GOD on the earth.
Holy Prophet (Peace be upon Him) said that first of all
The CREATOR created my illumination and from my Light created the entire
universe. Islamic scholars, saints, connected people and closely relaters (may ALLAH have mercy on
them) are assistants
and caliphs of the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon
Him). Revelation inspired upon the Messenger (Peace be upon Him), Say! “If
you love GOD, be loyal to me, GOD will love you”. It reveals that he,
who follows the Messenger (Peace be upon
Him), takes the God’s beloved rank, which is the highest place.
Perfect love
with The Holy Messenger (Peace be upon
Him) is the condition for
perfect faith. Love will be perfect when the love with The Holy Messenger (Peace be upon Him) is more than the love
with ones parents, wives, children, wealth and property. So who claims love
with GOD without love with Holy Prophet (Peace be upon
Him), is liar and he is rejected in the court of GOD.
It is said
that one person requested to Holy Prophet (Peace be upon
Him), O! Messenger (Peace be upon
Him) of GOD! When shall I be a
true and pure orthodox? He was replied, whenever you love GOD. He requested
again, when my love will be with GOD? He was replied, when you will love HIS
Messenger (Peace be upon
Him). Then he
requested again, when my love will be with Messenger (Peace be upon Him)? He was
replied, when you will move on the path/practice of the last Prophet (Peace be upon Him), you will
love them who love the Messenger (Peace be upon
Him), you will put malice against them who put malice against the
Messenger (Peace be upon
Him). If you love
some one, have love for the sake of Messenger (Peace be upon
Him) and if you have enmity
with any one, have enmity for the sake of Messenger (Peace be upon Him).
Then
Messenger (Peace be upon Him) said, “Faith
of the people is not equal. Moreover, as much any one loves Me (Peace be upon Him), his faith
will be so strong. Like this the infidelity of the people is not equal. As much
someone has malice against Me (Peace be upon
Him), his infidelity
will be so strong. Be cautious! Who has not my love in his heart, he has no
faith, who has not my love in his heart, he has no faith, who has not my love
in his heart, and he has no faith”.
Hadrat
Khawaja Ba Yazeed Busta`mi (may ALLAH have
mercy on him) said, “Perfect
rank of common believers is the basic rank of the pious, perfect rank of pious
is the basic rank of martyrs, perfect rank of martyrs is the basic rank of
faithful, perfect rank of faithful is the basic rank of prophets, perfect rank
of prophet is the basic rank of messengers, perfect rank of messengers is basic
rank of Muhammad (Peace be upon
Him). And the rank of GOD`s beloved (Peace be upon
Him) does not know anyone but
ALLAH”.
To get favor
from GOD, it is impossible without sake and support. That sake and support is
kindness of the last Prophet, Hadrat Muhammad (Peace be upon
Him). For this purpose GOD commands us in the Holy Qur’aan, “Without
any doubt GOD and HIS Angels send compliments upon the Messenger (Muhammad) (Peace be upon Him), O! Believers! You also
send the compliments on Him (Muhammad) (Peace be upon
Him).
Hadrat Abi
bin Ka`b (may GOD be agreed upon
him) requested in the court of
prophet-hood, “O! Messenger (Peace be upon
Him) I want to offer compliments on you, how much should I offer”? He
was replied, “as much as you can” He asked again, “should I offer compliments
from 1/4th time of
remaining worship and prayer”? He was then replied, “as much as you can,
however if you can offer more than it, it is better for you”. He requested
again, “if it is better, then why should not I offer compliments on you from
half of the remaining time of worship and prayer”? Muhammad) (Peace be upon Him) said, “Your will, if you
do more than it, it is better for you”. He requested once again, “2/3rd time can I offer”? Messenger (Peace be upon Him) commanded, “Your
pleasure, if you do much more than it, it is better for you”. He requested, “O
my Lord! Can I offer compliments on you whole the time instead of worship”?
Listening this, the Merciful over the worlds (Messenger) (Peace be upon Him) said, “If you do so, your
all acts will be corrected automatically and your all sins will be forgotten”.
(Tirmzi, Mishka`t)
King of
Madina the Messenger (Peace be upon
Him) says, O people! Without
any doubt, that person out of you will be released from the fears of the
hereafter and difficult paths on the doomsday, who offered much compliments
upon Me (Messenger) (Peace be upon
Him) in this world. On the day
of resurrection some parties will come on my Tank (fountain of paradise), I
will recognize them due to their offering much compliments on Me (Peace be upon Him). Commit your
mind for that time when the sun will be entirely near, the earth will be so hot,
like burning coal, there will be NO space to hide for anyone, no water to
drink. There our Lord, Messenger (Peace be upon
Him) will give water to His
followers from the pond of paradise. That lucky person, who offers much
compliments on the Messenger (Peace be upon
Him), he will
succeed in getting a draught of water. Heat of doomsday will not be able to
harm him.
