Moulood Monday: Incomparable Intelligence

Shaykh Muhaq'qiq Says:

The Beloved Nabi has reached such a grand height of intelligence and sense and has been blessed with such powerful intellectual capacity that except Him no other human can ever reach this degree of intelligence.

-Madarijun Nubuw'wat

EVERY MONDAY IS MOULOOD MONDAY

Salafis and Taqleed

When someone falls into that Salafi echo chamber, to find their way back is no easy task. It's a system designed to silence every other voice, to dismiss a thousand years of Islamic scholarship as "misguided," and to wrap you in the false comfort that you alone have found the truth while the entire ummah has somehow lost its way.

Breaking free from that prison isn't just about gaining knowledge—it requires something deeper. It demands sincerity, a genuine hunger for truth over the ego's need to be right.

As for Taqleed, they scream that "blind following is shirk," painting themselves as the only ones who think for themselves. Yet watch them scramble to copy and paste every word from Ibn Taymiyyah and Albani as if these scholars' opinions carry the same weight as the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah of Rasoolullah (SallAllahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) themselves.

Taqleed dressed up in different clothes, with a face mask is exactly what they propagate.

The irony is that they became exactly what they claimed to reject, but they were too proud to see it.

Beyond Physical Death

My Aala Hazrat says:

Believe With Complete Conviction That Huzoor e Aqdas SallAllahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam Is Physically Alive And Present Just As He Was Before Passing From The World.

Him And All The Other Ambia Alaihimus Salaatu Was Salaam Have Only Tasted Death For A Split Second (i.e. Momentarily), To Fulfill The Promise of Allah. Their Passing Away Is Simply So That They May Be Hidden From The Eyes of The People.

The Glittering World - A Reminder

Know that man is not merely destined to die. He is fated to be forgotten by the very world he loved.

Go to the graveyards. Look at the graves from 20, 30 years ago. Tell me, who among you remembers their names, their deeds, their laughter or their tears?

Verily, in most cases, you shall find no trace of memory, no whisper of their existence.

O soul deceived by the glitter of this fleeting world!

You too shall lie beneath the dust, forgotten by those who walk the earth.

Only the deeds performed sincerely for the sake of Allah shall endure beyond the soil.

Yet know this: there is one love that never dies —

the love for Sayyiduna Muhammad Mustafā ﷺ.

He whose heart is adorned with the love of the Beloved ﷺ shall find light in the grave, and honour in the hereafter.

Strive, therefore, not for fleeting fame,

but for the eternal pleasure of Allah and nearness to His Beloved ﷺ.

"فاعتبروا يا أولي الأبصار"

(Therefore, learn a lesson, O those who can perceive!)

May Allah grant us the tawfeeq to live and die with the remembrance and love of Rasoolullah ﷺ in our hearts, and be raised among those beloved to Him.
