Ablution of the Heart Through The Holy Prophet's Blessed Name


Ablution of the Heart Through The Holy Prophet's Blessed Name

According to Imam-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, Sayyidi Ala Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Alaihir Rahmah, even inanimate objects that are connected in any way to the Beloved Prophet are deserving of honor and respect. He writes:

"The Blessed Hair of the Holy Prophet, his Sacred Cloak, his Noble Sandals (Naalain Shareef), or his Pure Staff, if these are washed in water for the sake of Tabarruk (seeking blessings), then such water is valid for performing wudu, However, it should not be poured over the feet, as that would go against the etiquette of reverence. If it is poured over the face, the Wudu of the face is completed. In fact, by merely mentioning his Pure Name, the heart itself attains a spiritual ablution."- (Fataawa Razawiyyah Shareef, Chapter of Tahaarat, Volume 2, Page 595, Raza Foundation, Lahore)

Spiritual Lessons from the Relics of the Holy Prophet ﷺ

  • Respect everything connected to the Holy Prophet.

  • Objects associated with him bring blessings and spiritual benefit.

  • Always observe proper manners (adab) when handling such blessed items.

  • Loving and honoring the Holy Prophet strengthens our faith and heart.

Does Lying Or Backbiting Break One's Wudu?

Does Lying Or Backbiting Break One's Wudu?

A man once asked the Imam-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, Sayyidi Ala Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Alaihir Rahmah:

"If someone, while in a state of wudu, tells a lie, engages in backbiting, or uses foul language, does this invalidate his wudu?"

Sayyidi Ala Hazrat Alaihir Rahmah replied:

"It is recommended that he renew his wudu. If, however, he were to perform the Salaah with the same wudu, the Salaah would still be valid, though he would have acted against what is recommended."
(Malfoozaat-e-Ala Hazrat, Volume 3, Page 381-Maktabatul Madinah, Karachi)

From this it becomes clear that the Sacred Shariah encourages us to care not only for outward purity but also for inward purification.

The Recommended Days for Setting Forth on a Journey

The Recommended Days for Setting Forth on a Journey

It is related that an individual once enquired from Sayyidi Ala Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Alaihir Rahmah: "Which days are specifically meritorious for commencing a journey?"

Imam-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat Sayyidi Ala Hazrat Alaihir Rahmah replied: "Thursday, Saturday, and Monday. In the Hadith Shareef, it is stated:

On the day of Saturday before the rising of the sun, whosoever goes forth in pursuit of a need, I (The Holy Prophet) shall be his guarantor. (Kanzul-'Ummaal)

Imam-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat Alaihir Rahmah then added:

"Alhamdulillah! during my second blessed journey to the Haramain Tayyibain, both my departure from this land (India) and my return from there occurred on one of these three days. Moreover, by the Grace of Allah Almighty, the day of my birth also falls on a Saturday." (Malfoozaat-e-Ala Hazrat, Part 1, Page 60, Maktabatul-Madinah, Karachi)

Sayyidi Ala Hazrat's Obedience To His Parents

Sayyidi Ala Hazrat's Obedience To His Parents

Hazrat Sayyid Shah Isma'eel Hasan Mia Saaheb Alaihir Rahmah says that Almighty Allah made Maulana Ahmed Raza Khan Saaheb the embodiment of extrinsic and intrinsic splendours, in qualities and marvels. Whoever you look at (in this time) you will find those qualities to be at a greater level in Maulana.

His obedience to his parents was such, that when Maulana's beloved father, Maulana Naqi Ali Khan Alaihir Rahmah passed away, he was personally the owner of his estate, but he gave the control of everything to his beloved mother.

She became the complete owner and administrator, and she would use and spend as she wished. Even if Maulana needed an insignificant sum of money to purchase Kitaabs, Maulana would request it from his mother, and mention his necessity.

When she accepted his request and gave permission, then only would he purchase the Kitaabs.
(Sayyidi Ala Hazrat the Qaadiri Gem, Volume 1, Page 175/Imam Mustafa Raza Research Centre Overport, Durban)
