This great book was written to prove the power of the Prophet, Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, and has been unreciprocated for the last 68 years (now 117 years), and those who burn by reading the virtues and authority of the great Beloved of Allah, SallaAllahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, have been helpless and could not challenge this book. And through the grace of Allah it willremain the same, ''And Allah allows not the guile of betrayers'' - (Surah Yusuf 12: 52).

Iqamat al-Qiyamah

Have you ever wondered: What do the eminent scholars of Islam have to say about the commemoration of the Prophet's birthday (Mawlid), may blessings and peace be upon him? Is the modern controversy regarding this subject really authentic?

The Elite Stand in Honour of the Chosen One by Imam Ahmad Rida Khan, may Allah have mercy on him, is a treatise that emphatically answers these questions by elaborating on the favourable dispensation accorded to this practice by over a thousand years of Islamic scholarship. The celebrated author provides detailed evidence on the permissibility and benefit ofMawlid and standing in honour of the Prophet (Qiyam) from authentic books of Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh). Multiple legal edicts (Fatawa) of mainstream imams and scholars are also used in support of this stance. In recent times, some have censured these meritorious acts simply because the Companions and their Successors (Tabi'in) never celebrated the Prophet's birthday, may blessings and peace be upon him. In a masterful demonstration of scholarship, the author refutes this position of the critics using their own evidence and logic.

Imam Ahmad Rida Khan (b. 1272 AH/1856 CE) was a renowned Hanafi jurist, hadith expert and theologian par excellence, recognized by scholars from the Islamic world to be a reviver of his era. He was a prolific writer whose legal edicts were gathered into twelve encyclopaedic volumes and covered almost every science of his day. Love for the Prophet, may blessings and peace be upon him, was the prime focus of his life, so much so that his wishes were vanquished and he became a follower of the wishes of the beloved, peace be upon him. This is the state mentioned in the hadith: "that a man's desires are compliant with that [message] which I have come with" (wa an yakunu hawahu tab'an limaa ji'tu bihi).

The Elite Stand in Honour of the Chosen One is a translation of Iqamat Al-Qiyamah 'Ala Ta'in Al-Qiyam Li-Nabiyy Al-Tihamah byMuhammad Husain al-Qadiri.

Minhaji Fata Morgana

The historical events of the delegations of Najran and Abyssinia to Madinah, are being misquoted by unscrupulous people for their liberalist agenda, and a distorted picture is slowly gaining credence.

Professor Tahir Jhangvi claims that inviting Christians to mosques and allowing them to worship in their own tradition is permitted by the Prophet SallAllahu alayhi wa sallam himself; and defending his
act of gathering various religions in an event at Wembley, he says that such interfaith gathering is a sunnah.  We seek Allah’s refuge.

This paper looks at the proofs he gives and examines the validity of his claim.

Proclaiming Ya Rasool

QUESTION: What is the ruling of the Ulema of Islam on the following matter:

Zaid, who is a Muslim and believes in Almighty Allah and the Prophethood of his beloved Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), recites after every Salaah and at other times, the following verses:As Salaatu Was Salaamu Alaika Ya Rasoolullah

- "Peace and Blessings upon you, O Messenger of Allah."Or As Alukash Shafaa'atu Ya Rasoolullah - "I seek from you Shafaa'at (Intercession), O Messenger of Allah."

I ask the learned Scholars of Islam:

1. Are such calls to the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) permitted in Islam?
    
2. What is the ruling of the Learned Scholars concerning individuals who refer to those who call to the Prophets and Saints as Kaafirs and Mushriks?

Please enlighten us on this. We pray that you enjoy the mercy of Allah on the Day of Judgement. Aameen.

Tafsir Jalalayn

Tafsir al-Jalalayn is one of the most significant tafsirs for the study of the Qur’an. Composed by the two “Jalals” -- Jalal al-Din al-Mahalli (d. 864 ah / 1459 ce) and his pupil Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti (d. 911 ah / 1505 ce), Tafsir al-Jalalayn is generally regarded as one of the most easily accessible works of Qur’anic exegesis because of its simple style and one volume length.

The Light of Sight

In the words of the author, Imam Ibn Sayyidu’n Nas:

Úyun al-Athar fi Funun al-Maghazi wa’sh Shamayil wa’s Siyar, is a comprehensive biography that I have compiled, which is a copious and sufficient resource for seekers of this knowledge. After completing it, I felt that it should be abridged to facilitate quick reference and that is easy to read and to carry; which imparts knowledge to the beginner and serves as a review for the master. Hence, I have summarised it in these pages, and named it, The Light of the Sight – A Concise Biography of the Trustworthy, the Vouchsafed.

The Preamble to Faith

Alahazrat wrote the book Tamhid e Iman ba Ayat e Qur’an or The Preamble to Faith in the Light of the Qur’an, to explain the basis of faith and priorities we should have as Muslims and to refute the propaganda that he was careless in takfir.  He explains fundamental principles of faith, analyzes disparaging statements made by Deobandis and the implication of such statements.  He describes the background and conditions which led to the ruling and mentions the extreme carefulness and restraint that he exercised in takfir, countering accusations that he was ‘quick to label anyone kafir’.

The Quran

Abdel Haleem’s seven-year translation project, The Qur’an, was first published in 2004 by Oxford University Press, with a new edition published in 2005. His introduction to the translation, as well as the translation itself, both reveal that his efforts are aimed at doing faithful justice to the original Arabic, while acknowledging the difficulties of translating the meanings of a sacred text revealed and preserved in the Arabic language. He identifies his goal as “mak[ing] the Qur’an accessible to everyone who speaks English, Muslims or otherwise, including the millions of people all over the world for whom the English language has become a lingua franca.”

Who is Alahazrat?

“Praised be Allah ta’ala for the immense favour of giving us this man of knowledge, a practicing scholar, meritorious, righteous, praiseworthy, virtuous; a living example of the maxim: “How much our elders ceded for their successors [to complete]“, peerless in his time, unique in his era, Mawlana Shaykh Ahmed Rida – may Allah ta’ala vouchsafe him and keep him to crush the impuissant arguments of heretics by the force of Qur’an and Hadith.

- Shaykh Sayyid Ismayil Khalil (Custodian of the Library of the Grand Mosque in Makkah, 1323AH)
