FOUNDATION OF ISLAM - First Pillar of Islam - Part II


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.
