Endless treasure of knowledge and wisdom

The Holy Quran is a glorified and highly dignified book of Allah in which there are rulings pertaining to Halal and Haraam, quotes of advice and admonition, the incidents and parables of the Ambiya and those of previous Ummahs, and the details about Paradise and Hell have been mentioned. On the other hand, comprehensiveness of the meanings of Quranic Ayahs is like an ocean of knowledge and cognition that cannot be
explored completely till the Judgement Day. Therefore, whilst mentioning the great comprehensiveness of the Holy Quran, the Beloved and Blessed Rasool
 has said:
The Islamic scholars will never be satiated whilst exploring the Quranic subjects, it will not become tattered after being recited again and again and the strange and miraculous topics of the Holy Quran will never end.
(Mishkat, Kitab Fadaail-ul-Quran, Al-Fasal-us-Saani, pp. 186)
In this context, Sayyiduna 'Ali Khuwaas  has mentioned:
No doubt, Allah  blessed me with the understanding of the meanings of Surah Al-Fatihah by virtue of which one hundred forty thousand nine hundred and ninety­nine sciences were disclosed to me.
(Ad-Dawlat-ul-Makkiyyah, pp. 79)
Similarly, Imam Sha'rani has mentioned in his book entitled
'Meezan':
My brother, Afzaluddin has derived two hundred and forty-seven thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine sciences from Sur ah Al-Fatihah.
(Ad-Dawlat-ul-Makkiyyah, pp. 79)
It becomes quite obvious from these reports that although the Holy Quran is apparently a compilation of thirty parts but internally it is such a treasure of billions of sciences and wisdom that can never be quantified. Following is a famous couplet of an eminent Sufi:
i.e. all knowledge and all information is available in the Holy Quran but people's
intellect is not capable to comprehend it.

Conclusively, the information in the Holy Quran is not limited only to the sciences and laws, but reality is that it contains details of the whole universe and of each and every existing thing in the universe. The Holy Quran comprehensively explains about each and every star of the sky, each and every drop of oceans, each and everything of the earth, each and every sand grain of deserts, each and every leaf of trees, each and every aspect of the Divine throne and the Kursi, each and every corner of the universe, each and every event of the past, each and every issue of the present, and each and every incident of the future. Therefore, Allah  has said:

We have left out nothing in this book.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)J (Part 7, Surah Al-An'aam, Ayah 38)
However, this fact should be kept in mind that this distinctive excellence of the Holy Quran is not for me, you and the common people, but the full exposure of this distinctive attribute of the Holy Quran is specifically for the most Beloved Rasool of Allah and this is a distinct
miracle of the Holiest Rasool that he has fully and comprehensively understood all the subjects and meanings of the Holy Quran. After the complete revelation of the Holy Quran, no item of the universe and no event in the past, present or future is unknown to the  Beloved Rasool, and he has perfect and complete information about every seen and unseen thing. As Allah has mentioned:
And We have sent down this Quran upon you, which is a clear explanation
of all things.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 14, Surah An-Nahl, Ayah 89)
Also, by virtue of the Holy Rasool , some friends of Allah and eminent scholars have also received knowledge, as per their capability, from these hidden treasure of knowledge. Some of these treasures of knowledge
are mentioned in uncountable pages of the books while a lot of such  information remained unprinted and concealed in the hearts of great people, which will continue to come to light till the Judgement Day, . As per saying of the Noble Rasool  :  , blessings of the Holy Quran will reveal from time to time and the Muslims will continue to benefit from them.
However, it is a fact that this concise collection (i.e. this book: 'Quranic Wonders Part 1 & Part 2') comprising of Quranic events and similar other thousands of books on Quranic subjects delivered by eminent scholars of the past do not even hold as much significance when compared with the total know ledge and information contained in the Holy Quran as much as a drop of water holds in comparison to the oceans of the entire world and a grain of sand holds when compared with the entire earth. This is because the Holy Quran is such an infinite treasure of know ledge and wisdom that can never be explored completely. The eminent Islamic scholars will continue extracting marvellous pearls from it and thousands of such books will be written until the last Day of the world.
I am pleased to deliver two brief collections covering some subjects of the Holy Quran and thus tried to enlist myself at the bottom of the list of those scholars who have derived such magnificent pearls of knowledge from the Ayahs of the Quran that have spiritualized the faith of billions of believers till the Judgement Day. But I am very much ashamed that due to my poor knowledge and weak intellect, and the declining health conditions, I could not write any further, nor could pen down anything extraordinary that can inspire or benefit the scholarly people.
However, I pray in the court of Allah that, by sake of His Beloved and Blessed Rasool  , may He accept my little effort and bless it with recognition in this worldly life as well as afterlife!

Some attributes of Allah

The unbelievers of Arab used to raise various questions about Allah in the court of the Holiest Rasool . Some would ask, 'What is the lineage and family of Allah ? Who did He get lordship in legacy from? Who will be His heir?' Someone asked whether Allah is made of gold or silver, iron or wood? Someone asked, 'What does Allah eat and drink?'
In response to these questions, Allah revealed Surah Al-Ikhlas unto His Beloved Rasool and illuminated the path towards His recognition by declaring His Being and Attributes. Through this Divine declaration, He  removed the darkness of ignorant thoughts in which those people were trapped in.
(I'afseer Khaza'in-ul-'Irfan, pp. 1086; part 30, Surah Al-Ikhlas, Ayah 1)
Allah   mentioned:
Say you (0 Beloved), 'He iJ; Allah, He is One. Allah is The Independent. He has no children, nor is He born from anyone. And there is no one equal to Him.'
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)J (Part 30, Surah Al-Ikhlas, Ayah 1-4)

Moral: 

In these few Ayahs of Surah Al-Ikhlas, Allah has mentioned knowledge of divinity so concisely that the description of the meanings which it contains may constitute a big library. Allah is the Most Magnificent and the Most Perfect in His attributes of being Rab. He cannot be exemplified by analogy or imagery. He has no associate. He does not eat or drink anything. He is not dependent upon anyone. On the other hand, everyone else is dependent upon Him. He has always existed and will continue to exist forever. To be born is an attribute of Haadis [i.e. the one who did not exist previously and came into existence later on]. Therefore, He is neither son of anyone, nor father of anyone. There is no one like or similar to Him in any respect.
There are many Ahadees narrating the excellence and virtues of this Surah. It has been declared to be equivalent to one third of the Holy Quran, meaning if this Surah is recited thrice, then the reward for reciting the whole Holy Quran will be provided.
A person humbly said to the Holy Rasool, 'I have a great love for this Surah.' It was replied, 'Its love will make you enter the Paradise.' (Iafseer Khaza 'in-ul-'Irfan, pp. 1086; part 30, Surah Al-Ikhlas, Ayah 1)

Harmony between ISLAM AND KUFR is impossible

A delegation of the unbelievers of Quraysh came to the Beloved and Blessed Rasool and said, 'If you follow our religion, then we will follow yours. You worship our creators (idols) for a year, and we will worship your Creator, Allah for a year.' The Rasool of Rahmah  replied, 'May Allah save me from the act that I associate partners to Him.' Upon hearing this, the unbelievers of Quraysh said, 'If you cannot worship the idols, then at least place your hand on one of our idols. We will then acknowledge you and begin worshipping your Rab.'
On this occasion, Surah Al-Kafiroon was revealed. The Beloved and Blessed Rasool went to the Holy Ka'bah and recited this Surah to the unbelievers of Quraysh. Consequently, they became hopeless. Being stirred with anger, they began distressing the Holy Rasool in various ways. (I'afseer Khaza 'in-ul-'Irfan, pp. 1085; part 30, Surah Al-Kafiroon, Ayah 1) 
Say you (O Beloved), 'O disbelievers! I do not worship what you worship. And nor do you worship whom I worship. And I shall not worship whom you have worshiped. Nor will you worship whom I worship. For you is your religfon, and for me is my religion.'
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)J (Part 30, Surah Al-Kafiroon, Ayah 1-6)

Moral:

 The moral that we deduce from the message in this Surah and through the blessed traditions of the Beloved and Blessed Rasool is that there can never be harmony between Islam and Kufr. Those Muslims who take part in the religious ceremonies of unbelievers to please them and give donations in such polytheistic rituals of idolatry should take a lesson from this Surah and should believe that monotheism and polytheism can never coexist. A monotheist can never be a polytheist and a polytheist can never be a monotheist.

Two Journers By Quraysh

In the holy city of Makkah, there was neither any cultivation nor any type of trade or industry. Yet, the people of the Quraysh tribe were very rich and affluent, and they would entertain the Hajj pilgrims generously with great hospitality. The secret behind the prosperity of the Quraysh was that they would carry out two business trips every year. In the winter, they would travel to Yemen and in the summer, they would travel to Syria. They were cordially respected by the people of all cities being hailed from Haram and the Holy Ka'bah. The people of Quraysh would earn a lot of profit from these trades. Moreover, by virtue of being the inhabitants of the Haram, they would never face any sort of raid or robbery despite the fact that massacres and ravaging were very common on the outskirts. Besides the Quraysh, whenever the people of other tribes would travel, their caravans were often attacked, looted and killed. So, the peaceful situation available for the Quraysh to carry out business trips was not destined for other tribes. (I'afseer Khaza'in-ul-'Irfan pp. 1084-1089; part 30, Surah Quraysh, Ayah 1-4)
Out of numerous blessings that Allah bestowed upon Quraysh, Allah commanded them for His worship by specially reminding the blessings associated with these two journeys by saying: 
Due to giving inclination to Quraysh. (Allah gave them) the inclination during both their (business) journeys during winter and summer. So they should worship the Lord of this House (the Ka'bah). The One Who gave them food in hunger, and secured them from a great fear.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)J (Part 30, Surah Quraysh, Ayah 1-4)
These people were fed during their hunger means i.e. by virtue of these two trade journeys, a source of income and sustenance was provided for them and their caravans were provided protection from being looted. Therefore, it is obligatory upon them to worship the Rab  of the Ka'bah, Who has bestowed them with His blessings. They should not worship the idols, who have given them nothing.

Moral: 

In this Surah, Allah has ordered to abandon idol worshiping and worship Him by reminding of His two blessings. Although the Quraysh are specifically mentioned in this Surah, but this commandment is for all the people of the world, that people should remember the blessings of Allah , worship the Sole Provider of these blessings i.e. Allah  and refrain from idol worshiping.

Greatness of the HORSES OF MUJAHIDIN

What a great rank is held by the Islamic warriors who perform Jihad in the path of Allah ! Regarding this, Allah has praised such brave men in numerous Ayahs of the Holy Quran. In Surah Al-' Aadiyaat, Allah has described the splendour and grandeur of the horses of these warriors, and has mentioned their honour and glory by bearing the oath of the speed and flair of these horses. Allah  says:
By those (horses) that run, with a panting breath (in war). Then bring out sparks from stones by striking (their) hooves. And by those who raid ( on enemies) at dawn. Then thereby blowing dust. Then penetrate in the midst of the enemy forces. Indeed man is very ungrateful towards his Lord.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)J (Part 30, Surah Al-'Aadiyaat, Ayah 1-6)
The commentators are agreed unanimously that these horses refer to the horses of Islamic warriors; which are so reverent and esteemed in the court of Allah that He  has sworn an oath mentioning these horses and their elegance. Therefore, Allah said, 'I swear by those horses who sprint during holy war whilst breathing heavily, I swear by those horses who bring  out sparks by striking their shod hoofs on the stones during night, I swear by those horses who raid infidels in the early morning, I swear by those horses who run in the battlefield raising clouds of dust and I swear by those horses who break into the army of infidels.' After bearing so many oaths, Allah  said, 'Man is very ungrateful to his Rab.'
 How honourable the one is that is mentioned by Allah swearing an oath! The greatness of all those things that Allah has mentioned for swearing oath is unquestionable and all such things bear very high reverence in the eyes of the Muslims. So, how high will be the reverence of the horses of Islamic warriors! 
Moral: From this, we learnt that Allah loves each and every thing of His beloved people and all the belongings of the beloved people of Allah bear reverence and dignity. Since Islamic warriors are dear to Allah, Allah likes even their horses and swear an oath by mentioning them,  -
Since the Holy Quran mentions the exalted status of the horses of Islamic warriors, it can be deduced that the reverence of the weapons, ammunition, bows and swords of warriors is also very high. That's why people have preserved the swords of some Islamic warriors in shrines for ages as sacred relics for getting blessings from and to pay respect.

The earth will talk

On the Day of Judgement, where there will be many witnesses at the time of Reckoning, the earth will also become witness and bear testimony. Therefore, it has been mentioned in a Hadees that the earth will bear testimony about every good and bad deed committed on it by men and women. It will say that on such and such day, this deed was performed and on such and such day, that deed was committed.
(I'afseer Khaza'in-ul-'Irfan pp. 1079; part 30, Surah Az-Zilzaal, Ayah 4)
The earth has memorized all the good and evil deeds that people have committed on it and on the Day of Judgement, it will openly announce all of these affairs which everyone will listen to. Allah has described this topic in the Holy Quran in the following words: 
When the earth is shaken violently with its destined tremor. And the earth casts out (all) its burdens. And man says, 'What has happened to it?' On that Day, the earth will narrate ( all) its news. Because your Lord sent a command to it.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 301 Surah Az-Zilzaal, Ayah 1-5)

Moral: 

On the Judgement Day, there will be many witnesses to testify the good and bad deeds of the people. The angels present on the shoulders of every person for recording the deeds are the absolute witnesses. Besides these, the limbs of people will also testify the deedsi meaning a person's hands, feet, eyes, ears, etc. every limb will testify the act in which that limb had been involved. Moreover, the earth will report every deed committed on its face by the people and it will be a witness in the court of Allah . To summarise, no matter how much a person hides a good or bad deedi it will by no means remain hidden on the Day of Judgement. Instead, every deed of a person will be presented before him and he will see all his deeds with his own eyes, and will also be given the return for every deed. Therefore, Allah has mentioned:
On that day people will return towards their Lord, in different paths, in order to be shown their deeds. So whoever does a good deed equal to the weight of an atom, will see it. And whoever does an evil deed equal to the weight of an atom, will see it.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 301 Surah Az-Zilzaal, Ayah 6-8)
Anyhow, the Day of Judgement will be extremely tough and every person will be held accountable for his every minor, major, good or bad deed. It is obligatory upon every Muslim to pay attention to every passing moment of his life that whatever he is doing, one day he will be held accountable for that, and all those deeds that he is performing secretly will be revealed in front of everyone in the court of Allah. How embarrassing and humiliating it will be at that time!

SHAB-E-QADR

Shab-e-Qadr is the night bearing great bounties and blessings. How virtuous this night is can be judged from the fact that Allah has revealed one complete chapter (Surah) about this blessed night which is:
We have indeed sent down it (the Quran) on the Night of Decree. And what have you known, what the Night of Decree is? (Worshipping in) the Night of Decree is better than (worshipping/or) a thousand months. In it descend the angels and Jibra 'eel, by the command of their Lo rd, Jo r all tasks. That (night) is (full oj) peace until the rising of dawn. [Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 30, Surah AI-Qadr, Ayah 1-5)
It means that Shab-e-Qadr is a night of such excellence that in this very night, Allah descended the Holy Quran on to the sky of the world from the Secured Tablet. In addition, the worship in this one night is more virtuous than the worship of a thousand months. In this night, Sayyiduna Jibra 'eel
descends on the earth with a group of angles from the skies. This night is a symbol of peace for the earth, the skies and for all the worlds. The manifestation of blessings and Divine light continues from the sunset till dawn. 
It is reported that once the Beloved Rasool narrated an event of a devout person belonging to Bani Israel who worshipped and performed Jihad for a thousand months. The Rasool' s companions exclaimed, 'Ya Rasoolallah ! The life spans of your followers are very short. Then how will we be able to perform so much worship?' Seeing the sadness of his companions, the Holy Rasool became a bit worried. Then Allah revealed this Surah mentioning, 'O My Beloved! We have given your people such a night that is better than a thousand months.' (Iafseer As-Saawi, vol. 6, pp. 2399; part 30, Surah Al-Qadr, Ayah 3)

Angels salute the believers 

It has been reported that on Shab-e-Qadr (in the night of Qadr), a multitude
of the angels of Sidra-tul-Muntaha, headed by Sayyiduna Jibra 'eel  descend on the earth and they have four flags with them. They hoist one flag on the top of Bayt-ul-Muqaddas, one on the top of the Holy Ka'bah and one on Mount Sinai. Then these angels visit the homes of the Muslims and pay Salam to all those Muslim men and women who are engaged in worship.
However, these angels do not enter the homes where there is idol, portrait, dog, alcoholic, pork-eater, one upon whom Ghusl (ritual bath) is due, or one who breaks ties with relatives without any Shari'ah-approved reason.
It is mentioned in one of the narrations that the number of these angels is more than the number of pebbles on the face of the earth and these angels descend carrying peace and blessings.
(Iafseer As-Saawi, vol. 6, pp. 2401; part 30, Surah Al-Qadr, Ayah 4)

Which night is Shab-e-Qadr? 

The Holy Rasool has said, 'Search for Shab-e-Qadr in the odd­numbered nights of the last ten days of the month of Ramadan i.e. in 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th night.
(Sahih Bukhari, Kitab-us-Sawm, vol. 1, pp. 270; Sahih Muslim, Kitab-us-Siyaam, pp. 369)
For this reason, some scholars have mentioned that there is no fixed night for Shab-e-Qadr. Therefore, it should be searched in these five nights. But on the other hand, it has been mentioned by Sayyiduna Ubayy Bin Ka'b and Sayyiduna Ibn 'Abbas and some other Islamic scholars that Shab-e-Qadr is the 27th night of the month of Ramadan.
(Iafseer As-Saawi, vol. 6, pp. 2400; part 30, Surah Al-Qadr)
Some Islamic scholars have also provided a hint from the fact that in 􀀌J:Wi 􀀐), there are nine letters and the word has been mentioned thrice in this Surah. If nine is multiplied by three, the product is '27'. Therefore, Shab-e-Qadr is the 27th night of the month of Ramadan.
(Iafseer As-Saawi, vol. 6, pp. 2400; part 30, Surah Al-Qadr)

Salah and supplications of Shab-e-Qadr 

It has been narrated that the one who offers Nafl [supererogatory] Salah in Shab-e-Qadr with sincere intention, all his past and future sins will be forgiven. (Iafseer Ruh-ul-Bayan, vol. 10, pp. 480-481; part 30, Surah Al-Qadr, Ayah 3)
1. In Shab-e-Qadr, offer four Rak'aat Nafl Salah in such a way that recite Surah Al-Qadr three times and Surah Al-Ikhlas fifty times after Surah 
Al-Fatihah in every Rak'at and then, after performing Salam, perform Sajdah and recite .
once in Sajdah. Then after raising the head from Sajdah, whatever Du'a is supplicated will be accepted, . (Fadaail-ush-Shuhoor wal-Ayyaam).
2. Sayyidatuna 'Aaishah asked, 'Ya Rasoolallah, if I find Shab-e-Qadr, then which Du'a should I supplicate?' It was advised to supplicate following Du'a:
(Sunan Ibn Majah, Kitab-ud-Du'a, vol. 4, pp. 273, Raqm 3850)

3. It has been reported that the one who recites this Du' a three times in night, it is as if he has got Shab-e-Qadr. Therefore, this Du' a should be recited every night. That Du' a is:
4. This Du'a should also be recited as much as possible. This has also been reported in Hadees. The Du' a is:

ABUJAHL and the Divine army

Abu Jahl prohibited the Rasool of mankind, the Peace of our heart and mind,
the most Generous and Kind from offering Salah in the Ka'bah. He used to announce publically, 'If I would see Muhammad offering Salah, I will trample his [blessed] neck with my foot and will dirty his [blessed] face in the dust.' Therefore, seeing the Beloved Rasool  offering Salah, he approached the Noble Rasool  with his evil intention, but he suddenly retreated with his
hands raised as someone does to prevent some danger. His face turned pale and every limb of his was shivering out of fear. His companions asked him, 'How are you?' He replied, 'There is a trench between me and Muhammad   which is filled with fire and few terrifying and horrific birds have stretched their wings in it. I was so terrified from it that I could not move forward and somehow, I retreated out of tremor.'
After the Salah, the Beloved and Blessed Rasool affirmed, 'Had Abu Jahl approached near me, the angels would have detached every limb of his.'
Even after this event, Abu Jahl did not abandon his devilish conduct and again started restricting the Greatest and Noblest Rasool   from offering Salah. In reaction, the Greatest Rasool  severely  rebuked him, which angered Abu Jahl and he said, 'You are rebuking me despite knowing that there is no one with more supporters and larger gangs than me in Makkah. I swear by god! I will fill this field with horsemen and warriors to combat with you.' In response to  this threat of Abu Jahl, the following Ayahs of Surah Al-' Alaq i.e. Surah Iqra were revealed. (I'afseer Khaza 'in-ul-'Irfan, pp. 1077; part 30, Surah Al-' Alaq, Ruku' 1)
Allah said: 
Yes, certainly! if he does not abstain, We will definitely drag him by seizing the forelock. What kind of forelock! A lying, sinful one. So let him now call hi,s council (of helpers). We will now call the guards (of Hell).
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)J (Part 30, Surah Al-'Alaq, Ayah 15-18)
It is mentioned in a Hadees that, had Abu Jahl called the people of his gang, the angels would have apprehended him openly, and he would not have been able to escape their grasp.
(I'afseer Khaza 'in-ul-'Irfan, pp. 1077; part 30, Surah Al-'Alaq, Ayah 18)
Moral:
Throughout his life time, Abu Jahl remained busy harming the Holy Rasool  and continued persuading others to do the same. In the end, he became victim to the wrath of Allah . He was killed shamefully by two small boys in the war of Badr and his dead body was thrown in a ditch of the field of Badr without any shroud or coffin. Similarly, all the enemies of the Holy Rasool were afflicted with different torments and destroyed. !

Five famous ANCIENT IDOLS

The people of Sayyiduna Nuh turned into idol worshippers. They had five idols that were very famous. The whole nation was sunk in their worship. The names of these five idols were: (1) Wadd (2) Suwaa' (3) Yaghoos (4) Ya'ooq (5) Nasr. Sayyiduna Nuh would deliver sermons against idol worshipping. Therefore, the people of his nation would dishonour him publicly and would tease him by different means. Therefore, the Holy Quran has mentioned:
And they said, 'Never abandon your gods, and never abandon Wadd, and Suwa', and Yaghoos and Ya'ooq and Nasr (names of their idols).' And indeed they have misled a large number. (Part 29, Surah Nuh, Ayah 23-24)
Who were these five idols? Sayyiduna 'Urwah Bin Zubayr  has mentioned regarding them that these were the five sons of Sayyiduna Aadam, who were very religious and devout worshippers. People had great love and respect for them. When all five passed away, their death was a cause of great affliction and adversity for people. Satan, whilst condoling and attempting to comfort them, advised them to make statues of these five virtuous people and to continuously gladden their hearts by viewing them repeatedly. Therefore, people made statues of brass and lead and kept them in their Masajid. For the first few days, the people visited to behold these statutes but later they began to worship them abandoning the worship of Allah. (I'afseer As-Saawi, vol. 6, pp. 2245; part 29, Surah Nuh, Ayah 23)
Sayyiduna Nuh kept on preaching his people to abandon idol worshipping for nine hundred and fifty years. Eventually, they were all drowned and destroyed in a flood. However, Satan did not abstain from his evil tricks and continued teaching idol worshipping to people in every era. People would make portraits and statutes of their pious people. For a few days, they would visit them and satisfy their souls by beholding them. Then gradually, they would begin to worship these portraits and statues. This way, the whole world sunk into the curse of polytheism and idol worshipping. The virtue of worshipping Allah and devout monotheism began to gloom away. In order to rekindle it, Allah consecutively sent Ambiya  one after the other until the advent of our Beloved Rasool who uprooted idol worshipping by prohibiting portraits and making of statues. He issued the ruling that no one should make any statue or picture of another person, or even of a living creature and those that have already been made, should be completely obliterated and destroyed instantly wherever they are seen, so that the sin is uprooted from its roots.

Moral: 

Nowadays, the disciples of several Shuyookh (Peers) have framed portraits of their Shay kh in their homes, and on certain occasions, the people go to behold these portraits. Even some decorate them with flower garlands, incense sticks, and apply the smoke of incense sticks on their bodies. If such people are not prevented from these evil deeds and if the scholars of Ahl-us­Sunnah do not make efforts for the prevention of these deeds, there is a risk that the past evil of worshipping the portraits may break out again in corning days. It must be noted that the evil of idol worshipping that the Noblest Rasool  had eliminated utterly is again being planted by illiterate, heretic Shuyookh and their superstitious disciples. There is no hope that these illiterate and worldly Shuyookh of these times speak out against these evil practices. However, it is hoped that the true and righteous Islamic scholars of Ahl-us-Sunnah will certainly raise their voice against these corrupt beliefs and devilish practices, . It is evident from history that whenever Islam was attacked by heretics from within, it was the Islamic scholars of Ahl-us-Sunnah who put their lives at stake and saved Islam.
But how can we get rid of this evil in these times! The Shari'ah-violating so-called spiritual guides and cunning exorcists have hired services of  materialistic scholars by paying commission and in turn, these scholars are promoting their fake spirituality calling them 'Majzoob' and holy men. These materialistic scholars are busy hoarding the gifts presented to them by these fake exorcists, and if any genuine and rightful Islamic scholar utters anything against these so-called exorcists, they call their supporters to degrade him.
Many a time I appealed the scholars of Ahl-us-Sunnah to come forward for the sake of Allah and requested them to at least pass a unanimous Fatwa for the sake of the truth publically proclaiming that these dean-shaven un­Islamic exorcists are open transgressors (Faasiq-e-Mu'lin) and have no link with true Wilayah. However, it is a great pity that I did not come across even a single scholar to accept this humble plea of mine. Instead, I came to know that the mercenary scholars are backing these fake exorcists.

A strange invocation

The commentators of the Holy Quran have narrated that once the polytheists captured the son of 'Awf Bin Maalik Ashja' ee  whose name was 'Saalim'. Sayyiduna 'Awf Bin Maalik reported in the court of the Beloved and Blessed Rasool and expressed his state of poverty and exclaimed, 'The polytheists have arrested my son. Now his mother is in a state of extreme worry out of grief. What should I do in this regard?' The Rasool of Rahmah replied, 'Observe patience, lead a life of piety and invoke abundantly and ask the mother of your son to also invoke this invocation in abundance.' After listening to this, Sayyiduna 'Awf Bin Maalik Ashja'ee went home and informed his wife of this invocation. Then the couple began to invoke it abundantly.
The outcome of the invocation revealed one day; the polytheists became negligent towards Sayyiduna Saalim  . Hence, as soon as he found the opportunity, he fled out from the captivity of the polytheists. Whilst fleeing away, he also took four thousand goats and fifty camels of the polytheists along with him. After reaching home, he knocked on the door. When his parents opened the door, they found Saalim to be there and were overjoyed over this unexpected arrival of their son. Sayyiduna 'Awf Bin Maalik Ashja'ee reported the news of his son's escape from the captivity to the Noblest Rasool . Furthermore, he  also ascertained a verdict about whether these goats and camels were Halal (lawful) for them or not. The Holy Rasool  permitted them to use the goats and camels as they wished. (Iafseer Khaza 'in-ul-'Irfan, pp. 1004; part 28, Surah At-Talaaq, Ayah 2) After this, the revelation of the following Ayahs of the Holy Quran took place: 
And whoever fears Allah, Allah will create for him a way of salvation. And (Allah) will provide him sustenance from where he could not imagine; and whoever relies on Allah, so He is Sufficient for him; indeed Allah is to complete His task; indeed Allah has set a proper measure for all things.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 28, Surah At-Talaaq, Ayah 2-3)
It has been mentioned in a Hadees that the Beloved Rasool 􀀃j '.'!ij 􀀆􀀇 JiiJ 1"1 J;;, has said, 'I know of such an Ayah that if people take it, it will suffice them.
That Ayah is {a!i\;􀀎&:--,) up to its end.'
(Iafseer As-Saawi, vol. 61 pp. 2182; part 28, Surah At-Talaaq, Ayah 3)

A mysterious story 

'Allamah Ujhoori has mentioned in his book 'Fadaail-e-Ramadan' that once a few people were travelling by boat in the sea. A call echoed from the sea by someone, but his figure was not seen. It called out, 'If someone gives me ten thousand dinars, I will inform him of such an invocation that if he recites this  invocation when struck by some catastrophe, the catastrophe will be shunned away.' One person amongst the people on-board exclaimed in a loud voice, 'Come, I will give you ten thousand dinars. Inform me of that invocation.' It was replied, 'Drop these dinars into the sea, I will receive them.'
Therefore, the person on-board dropped ten thousand dinars into the sea and
the unseen caller said, 'That invocation is  to the end of the Ayah.
Whenever you come across any calamity, recite this.' Hearing this, all the other people on-board made fun of him saying that you have wasted such an excessive amount of ten thousand dinars. He replied, 'I have not wasted my money at all and I am sure that this Ayah of the Holy Quran will be of a great benefit to me'. After this, the boat continued sailing for a few days, but then all of a sudden, it was caught by stormy tides, causing it to break and scatter everywhere. No one survived on the boat except that one person. He was sailing the sea sitting on a plank of that boat. He kept on sailing in the sea until reached an island. After walking a few steps, he witnessed that a splendid palace is there, various pearls and jewels were present there and a  very pretty woman was  sitting in the palace alone.
Every type of food and
fruits were present there.   The woman asked him,
'Who are you and how   have you reached here?'   
He asked her, 'Who are
you and what are you
doing here?' The woman
told her story that, 'I am the daughter of a very big merchant of Basra. I was on a journey of sea with my father but all of a sudden, our boat broke and someone unexpectedly, carried me and put me here. Since then, I have been on this island, trapped in this palace. There is a devil who has brought me here. He comes here every seventh day. Even though he does not conduct any physical intercourse with me, but he kisses and toys with me. Today is the day of his arrival. Therefore, save your life and flee from here. Otherwise, he will come and attack you.'
This woman had not yet finished her account that all of a sudden, darkness prevailed all over. The woman exclaimed, 'Flee from here quickly. He is coming and will definitely kill you.' Thereupon, the devil arrived but that person remained standing there. When the devil stepped forward to attack
him, the person started reciting the invocation of  and the devil fell
on the ground. Such a loud voice was heard as if some part of a mountain had broken and fallen down. Then the devil burnt and turned into a pile of ashes.
After witnessing this, the woman said, 'Allah has sent you as an angel of blessing for me. By your virtue, I have received freedom from this devil.' Then the woman said to the man, 'Pick up these pearls and jewels. Then let's move from this palace to the ocean shore so we can search for a boat to escape from here.' Hence, both of them departed from the palace with many jewels, pearls, fruits and other provisions and reached the shore where they saw a boat that was going to 'Basra'. Both of them boarded it and reached Basra. The parents of the lost girl were overjoyed after finding their lost daughter and were very grateful to the man. They kept him as a guest in their home with great honour and respect. After hearing the whole account, the parents married them and they started living as husband and wife. All the jewels and pearls that they had brought from the island became their joint treasure. Allah also blessed them with some children and both of them lived a prosperous life with great love and affection.
(I'afseer As-Saawi, vol. 6, pp. 2183; part 28, Surah At-Talaaq, Ayah 2)

Moral: 

From this event, we learnt that there are great outcomes of such spiritual practices and Quranic invocations provided the beliefs are correct, the invocations are recited correctly, the tongue is not contaminated with impurities of sins and unlawful morsels and rituals are performed devoutly complying with required conditions. Observing these factors, one may benefit miraculously from Quranic rituals  one example of which you have just read above.

Exile of Jews

After migration, when the Beloved Rasool came to Madinah, he made a peace treaty with the Jews who were living in Madinah and in its outskirts. However, the Jews did not remain firm on their pledge. Instead, they started weaving a web of internal and external conspiracies against the Holy Rasool and the Muslims. In the meantime, one day some key persons of the tribe of 'Banu Nadeer' planned the following conspiracy: They would go to the Holy Rasool  and inform him that they need to hold an important meeting with him. When the Holy Rasool  would arrive, they would make him sit against a wall. When he would be well engaged in conversation, a heavy stone from above the roof would be thrown on to him, causing the end of his life.
Therefore, the Beloved Rasool  went to the area of the Jews. However, when he had just taken seat near the wall, instantly Allah made him aware about the conspiracy of Jews through Divine revelation. That's why, the Noblest Rasool  immediately left quietly. This way, the conspiracy of the Jews failed.
After coming back to Madinah, the Beloved Rasool sent Muhammad Bin Maslamah to convey this message to the Jews of Banu Nadeer: 'As you people have betrayed and broken the treaty, for this reason, you are being ordered to deport and expel from the holy land of Hijaz-e-Muqaddas.' When the hypocrites heard this, they gathered and went to Banu Nadeer telling them not to listen to this order of Muhammad
 and not to exile from there by any means, ensuring them that they will support them by all means. When the Banu Nadeer saw the backing of the hypocrites, they refused to obey the command of the Holy Rasool. The Beloved and Blessed Rasool  started preparations for Jihad (holy war) and after appointing Sayyiduna 'Abdullah Bin Umm-e-Maktoom as the governor of Madinah, took an army of blessed companions  and invaded the fort of the Banu Nadeer. The Jews locked themselves inside the fort and were assured that now the Muslims cannot do any harm to them. However, the Holy Rasool besieged their fort and ordered their trees to be cut down, as it  was possible that the Jews may raid the Muslim army through concealing themselves in the cluster of trees. After observing the state of affairs, the Jews of Banu Nadeer were so fear stricken that they started trembling, and they did not receive anything from the hypocrites except for disappointment and humiliation.
In the end, the Jews were compelled to request a chance to go into exile. Hence, they were permitted to do so and were told that apart from war equipment, they can take with them whatever they could load onto their camels. Therefore, the Jews of Banu Nadeer loaded their luggage on to six hundred camels and left Madinah, singing and blowing in the form of a procession. A few of them went to 'Khyber', while a majority went to Syria and settled in ' Azri'aat' and 'Areeha'. Also at the time of their departure, the Jews demolished their homes in order to prevent the Muslims from taking any benefit from them. (Madarij-un-Nubuwwat, vol. 2, pp. 147-148)
Allah has mentioned this exile of Jews in Surah Al-Hashr of the Holy Quran in the following manner:
It is He Who banished the disbelieving People of The Book (i.e. the Jews) from their homes, for their first gathering (i.e. first banishment). You did not think that they would leave, and they thought that their forts would save them from Allah, so Allah's command (punishment) came to them from a place they had not imagined. And He instilled terror in their hearts, that they (started to) demolish their own homes by their own hands and (also) by the hands of the Muslims; therefore learn a lesson, 0 those who can see. [Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 28, Surah Al-Hashr, Ayah 2)

Moral:

 The Jews are notoriously known for their particular envy, malice and hypocrisy. Disloyalty and betrayal are distinct characteristics of this nation. The tyranny of these wretched people is also beyond imagination. Their tyranny is to such extent that they have murdered numerous Ambiya of Alla  During these killings, these misfortunate tyrants were confessed to  the fact that they were killing them unjustly. Allah has mentioned their false promises and betrayals in the Holy Quran a number of times, warning the Muslims to never rely on the commitments and treaties of the Jews and to always remain vigilant of their deceitfulness and conspiracies.
The evil traits of false promises, betraying commitments and evil mischief have been found in Jews since long and are found even today. As it can be seen in the current era the way these people have established a hegemonic regime of Israel and how they are treating the Palestinian Arabs. In addition, how the American Jews are braggingly encouraging the Israel government by raising their morale, while on the other hand, the whole world is cursing and condemning Israel and America, but the shame of these faithless and immodest tyrants has come to such a low that they do not even have any feeling towards it. Although it is obvious that the Palestinian Arabs cannot compete with powers like America, but still we are not hopeless. Yet we are optimistic due to the promises of the Holy Quran that if Allah  wills, He will destroy and demolish them through some sort of torment like in the past.

Generosity of the honorable Sahabah

Sayyiduna 'Abdullah Bin 'Umar has reported that once a Rasool' s companion sent the head of a slaughtered goat as a gift to another companion's home. The latter companion sent it to someone else's home considering that he would be needier than him. The third companion sent it to the fourth with similar intention and this process continued up to the sixth companion who sent it to the very first companion considering him more deserving. In this way, the goat-head came back to the same home from where it was initially gifted. On this occasion, the following Ayah of Surah Al-Hashr was revealed in which Allah mentioned the generosity of the Rasool' s companions  :
And they prefer those above themselves, even if they themselves are in dire need. And whoever is saved from the greed of his own-self, so it is only they who are successful.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)J (Part 28, Surah Al-Hashr, Ayah 9)
It was a marvellous event of the blessed times of the Beloved and Blessed Rasool. A similar kind of inspiring event also took place during the caliphate of Ameer-ul-Mu'mineen Sayyiduna 'Umar Farooq-e­A'zam . It has been reported that Ameer-ul-Mu'mineen Sayyiduna 'Umar Farooq-e-A'zam   placed four hundred dinars in a pouch and ordered one of his servants to present it to Sayyiduna Abu 'Ubaydah Bin Al-Jaraah   and asked him to stay at his home and see what he does with the pouch. Therefore, the servant went to Sayyiduna 'Ubaydah Bin Al-Jaraah  and told him that Ameer-ul-Mu'mineen has sent pouch of dinars for him and has directed that he may spend it in his needs.
Upon hearing the message of Ameer-ul-Mu'mineen, Sayyiduna 'Ubaydah Bin Al-Jaraah supplicated, 'May Allah bless Ameer-ul­Mu'mineen.' Then he ordered his maid to donate seven dinars to so-and-so and five dinars to so-and-so. This way, he  distributed all those dinars among the needy people in a single sitting. Only two dinars left with him and he said, 'O maid! Go and also donate these two dinars to so-and-so needy person too.'
After observing this event, the servant came back to Ameer-ul-Mu'mineen, who then sent another pouch full of four hundred dinars to Sayyiduna Mu'aaz Bin Jabal  and told his servant to remain sitting in his home and observe what he does with this pouch. Therefore, the servant reached Sayyiduna Mu'aaz Bin Jabal with the pouch of dinars. After receiving the gift and message of Ameer-ul-Mu'mineen, Sayyiduna Mu'aaz Bin Jabal  supplicated, 'May Allah shower His mercy upon Ameer-ul-Mu 'mineen and reward him.' Then he instantly ordered his maid to donate such and such amount to so-and-so companion of the Rasool. Only two dinars left when the wife of Sayyiduna Mu'aaz Bin Jabal arrived and exclaimed, 'By Allah ! We ourselves are also very needy and poor.' Hearing this, he threw the remaining two dinars towards his wife.
After witnessing this spectacle, the servant came back to Ameer-ul­Mu 'mineen and mentioned the whole event to him. Hearing these events of the generosity and steadfastness of Sayyiduna Abu 'Ubaydah and Sayyiduna Mu' aaz Bin J abal , Ameer-ul-Mu 'mineen was extremely delighted. He  exclaimed, 'There is no doubt that the Rasool' s companions  are brothers to each other and are very soft hearted and extremely sympathetic to each other.'
This narration has also been reported by Sayyidatuna 'Aaishah  and other blessed Sahabah -
(Ia/seer As-Saawi, vol. 6, pp. 2138; part 28, Surah Al-Hashr, Ayah 9)
It is mentioned in a Hadees that the revelation of the abovementioned Ayah took place after the following incident:
Once, a hungry person reached in the court of the Rasool of Rahmah, the
i
Intercessor of Ummah . The Holy Rasool inquired from the homes of blessed wives whether there was anything available to eat. It was informed that nothing to eat was available in the homes of the blessed wives. Then the Holy Rasool  announced to his companions, 'Whoever makes this person his guest, may Allah shower His mercy unto him.' Sayyiduna Abu Talhah Ansari stood up and after seeking permission from the Holy Rasool , took the guest to his home.
After reaching home, he inquired from his wife whether there was any food available. She replied, 'There is only a little bit of food for children.' Sayyiduna Abu Talhah  said, 'Try to make the children sleep and when the guest sits to eat, then get up to adjust the candle light and extinguish it so that the guest is able to eat well.' The wisdom in this strategy was that the guest may not come to know that the hosts are not eating with him because if he comes to know this, then he will insist to accompany while the food was very short and hence the guest might remain hungry. In this way, Sayyiduna A bu Talhah fed the guest and the hosts themselves went to sleep hungry.
In the morning, he  presented himself in the blessed court of the Holy Rasool ' who after seeing Sayyiduna Abu Talhah said, 'Last night, a strange event took place in the home of so-and-so and Allah  is very pleased with them.' Then this Ayah of Surah Al-Hashr was revealed. ([afseer Khaza 'in-ul-'Irfan, pp. 984; part 28, Surah Al-Hashr, Ayah 9)

Moral: 

This blessed Ayah and the remarkable incidents relating to its revelation are too much inspiring and moralizing. There is no need of further elaboration as any reasonable person can easily learn a moral lesson from it.

IRON WAS DESCENDED from the Heavens

Allah   has mentioned iron in the Holy Quran by stating:
And We sent down iron, in which there is extreme strength and benefits for people.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 27, Surah Al-Hadeed, Ayah 25)
It has been narrated by Sayyiduna 'Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas that when Sayyiduna Aadam was descended from Heaven onto the earth, he brought five iron made tools with him: A hammer, an anvil, pincers, a file and a needle. (Tafseer As-Saawi, vol. 6, pp. 2112; part 27, Surah Al-Hadeed, Ayah 25)
According to a second narration also reported by Sayyiduna 'Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas, three articles were descended on the earth with Sayyiduna Aadam: The Hajar-ul-Aswad, the staff of Sayyiduna Musa  and iron.
Sayyiduna 'Abdullah Bin 'Umar has reported that the Noblest Rasool has mentioned, 'Allah has descended four blessed things from the sky: Iron, fire, water and salt.'
(Tafseer As-Saawi, vol. 6, pp. 2112; part 27, Surah Al-Hadeed, Ayah 25)
Moral:
In the narration reported by Sayyiduna 'Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas it has been mentioned that 'iron' came from Heaven on the earth, and in the narration reported by Sayyiduna 'Abdullah Bin 'Umar , it has been mentioned that 'iron' was descended from the sky. There is no conflict in these two narrations because Heaven is situated above the skies, so when iron was descended from the Heaven, it eventually descended via skies into the earth.
Iron is a marvellous metal. Most of the industrial and trade items are made from it. Almost all types of war weapons are also made from it. There are thousands of domestic items that cannot be manufactured without iron.
That's why it has been mentioned in the Holy Quran that in this
iron are countless benefits for people. Anyhow, iron is one of the big blessing among other blessings of Allah . Therefore, whenever we see any iron made item, we should express gratitude in the court of Allah for this great blessing.

DO NOT MAKE FUN OF ANYONE

Sayyiduna Saabit Bin Qays  had weak hearing. For this reason, whenever he would be in the blessed gathering, the holy companions  would give him a position at the front. One day when
i
he came in the blessed court of the Beloved Rasool ,
the space had been filled up, but he  reached near the Holy Rasool
  by moving people aside. Yet one person remained between him and the Holy Rasool  . Sayyiduna Saabit Bin Qays   started to move him but that person did not move at all from his position. Sayyiduna Saa bit Bin Qays   furiously asked him, 'Who are you?' The person replied that he was so-and-so person. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Saabit Bin Qays said scornfully, 'Oh! So you are the son of so-and-so woman.' On hearing these comments, the man embarrassed, he bowed his head and became extremely aggrieved. On this occasion, the Quranic Ayah mentioned ahead was revealed.
It has been reported by Sayyiduna Dahhaak that a few people of the tribe Bani Tameem dressed up in luxurious attire came in the court of the  Holy Rasool . When they saw the poor condition of Ashaab-us­Suffah, they made fun of them. This Ayah was revealed at that occasion.
(I'afseer Khaza'in-ul-'Irfan, pp. 929; part 26, Surah Al-Hujurat, Ayah 11)
Sayyiduna Anas  has reported that one day, Sayyidatuna 'Aaishah  called Umm-ul-Mu'mineen Sayyidatuna Safiyyah  a Jewess, who became extremely grieved at it. When the Rasool of Rahmah   came to know about it, he  expressed serious resentment towards Sayyidatuna 'Aaishah ; and in order to please Sayyidatuna Safiyyah  he said to her, 'You are among the progeny of a Nabi (Sayyiduna Haroon ) and there was a Nabi among your uncles too (Sayyiduna Musa) and you are also the wife of a Nabi, meaning you are my wife'. This Ayah was revealed on this occasion. (I'afseer As-Saawi, vol. 5, pp. 1494; part 26, Surah Al-Hujurat, Ayah 11)
Anyhow, this Ayah was revealed for one of the three aforementioned events, where Allah  strictly prohibited making mockery of any nation. This very Ayah is: 

0 believers! Men must not ridicule other men, it's likely that the ridiculed are better than the mockers, nor must the women ridicule other women, it's likely that the ridiculed women may be better than the mockers; and do not taunt one another, nor give evil nicknames. What a bad name it is to be called an evildoer after being a Muslim. And whoever does not repent, it is they who are unjust.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)J (Part 2 6, Surah Al-Hujurat, Ayah 11)

Moral:

 Read above glittering and guiding Ayahs of the Holy Quran carefully and learn a lesson from them. Nowadays, a sinful tradition is prevalent whereby those known by the titles of 'Sayyid', 'Shaykh' and 'Pathan' ridicule sincere and devout Muslims belonging to the tribes of butchers, barbers, weavers, vegetable seller etc. Furthermore, they even do not value the  religious scholars belonging to these castes and do not pay respect to them merely because of their race. They make fun of them in their gatherings,  laughing and making others laugh too. Not only common people exhibit misconduct with such tribes, but also sometimes scholars and spiritual Shay khs are found indulged in this misconduct. Even the people who learnt from the scholars of those communities ridicule  their teachers thinking of them as inferior
and mediocre merely due to community
based differences. By boasting upon their ''
own status and caste, they commit the
degradation and disgrace of others. How criminal these people are in the light of Holy Quran! Read following warnings and regulations that the Holy Quran has mentioned in this context:
l. No caste or community should ridicule another caste or community, as it is possible that the ones being ridiculed may be better than those ridiculing, in this world and in the Hereafter.
2. It is not permissible for the Muslims to taunt one another.
3. It is Haraam (prohibited) for the Muslims to use bad names for one another.
4. A person who does so is a transgressor, despite being Muslim.
5. A person who does not repent from such of his practices is an oppressor.
Sayyiduna Ibn 'Abbas has mentioned that if a sinful Muslim repents from his sin, then to embarrass him about that sin is also prohibited. Similarly, it is also prohibited to call a Muslim a dog, donkey or a pig or calling a Muslim by such name or title that reveals a flaw in him or is offensive to him. All such forms of acts are also included in this prohibition. (Iafseer Khaza'in-ul-'Irfan, pp. 930; part 26, Surah Al-Hujurat, Ayah 11)
Sayyiduna 'Abdullah Bin Mas' ood has said, 'If I ridicule someone perceiving him as inferior, I am afraid that Allah may transform me into a dog.' (Iafseer As-Saawi, vol. 5, pp. 1994; part 26, Surah Al-Hujurat, Ayah 11)

MOON SPLIT into two pieces

When the unbelievers of Makkah iracle from the Beloved and Blessed Rasool  , he   demonstrated it by splitting the moon into two pieces. One piece was seen on mount Abu Qubays, while the other was seen on mount Qu' ayqi' aan. In this way, the Rasool of Rahmah  split the moon into two pieces and showed it to the unbelievers, and asked them to be witness to it.
(Iafseer Jalalayn, pp. 440; part 27, Surah Al-Qamar, Ayah 1)
Observing this miracle, the unbelievers of Makkah said, 'Muhammad  has done magic and has made an illusion.' But, a group of people among them said, 'If it were an illusion, then nobody outside Makkah would have witnessed the pieces of moon. Therefore, pursue the caravans that are about to arrive from outside of Makkah and ask their travellers whether the splitting of moon was witnessed from other regions  as well. If so, then certainly it would be a miracle.' Hence, when it was inquired from the travellers, they told them that they observed splitting of the moon into two pieces that day. After this, there remained no room for any denial by the unbelievers. But they continued to allege it as a spell of magic out of their malice. This great miracle is mentioned extensively in authentic books of Ahadees and this Hadees has reached such a level of popularity that its denial is nothing but enmity with intellect and justice, and its denial is in fact deviation from true Islamic teachings. (I'ajseer Khaza 'in-ul­'Irfan, pp. 953-954; part 27, Surah Al-Qamar, Ayah 1)
Allah has mentioned this great miracle in Surah Al-Qamar of the Holy Quran openly in the following words:
The Last Day came near, and the moon has split (with the indication of the Prophet Muhammad). And if they (i.e. disbelievers) see a sign, so they tum away their faces and say, 'This is just on-going magic.' And they belied (this Miracle) and followed their own desires, and each matter has been decided (that Islam shall prevail).
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 27, Surah Al-Qamar, Ayah 1-3)

Moral: 

This miracle of  is an extraordinary miracle of the Beloved and Blessed Rasool , which is evident from above Ayah of the Holy Quran and many famous Ahadees. We have comprehensively described this topic in our book 'Seerat-u l-Mustafa  .' One may attain serenity of heart and revival of faith by reading it.

Angels visited as guests

Sayyiduna Ibraheem was very hospitable to the guests. It has been reported that he would not eat meal until there was some guest at his dining mat. One day, such a group of guests arrived at his home seeing which he became afraid. In fact, Sayyiduna Jibra'eel  had come with a group of ten or twelve angels. They entered the home paying Salam. All of these angels were in the guise of exceptionally handsome persons. Firstly, they arrived at such a time that was against the norms for guests to arrive. Secondly, they entered the home boldly without seeking any permission. When Sayyiduna Ibraheem  brought a fat roasted calf to serve them, they refused to eat it.
Due to the abovementioned three attitudes of the guests, a doubt evoked in the mind of Sayyiduna Ibraheem that perhaps these people are my enemy because it was a custom in those days that an enemy would not eat or drink anything from the enemy's home. So, fear of Sayyiduna Ibraheem   was rational. Upon noticing this, Sayyiduna Jibra'eel  said,  'O Nabi of Allah! Do not fear of us at all. We are the angels sent by Allah   and have come for two reasons. Our first purpose is to inform you of the glad tidings that Allah will bless you with a son possessing knowledge, and our second purpose of visit is that we have come to bring torment for the people of Loot.'
Upon hearing the glad tidings of a baby boy, the blessed wife of Sayyiduna Ibraheem, Sayyidatuna Saarah startled because her age was ninety-nine years and she had never become pregnant either. She anxiously came shouting whilst hitting her forehead and exclaimed, 'Will an
infertile old woman like me bear a son?' Sayyiduna Jibra'eel  replied, 'Yes, this is the commandment of your Rab and He bears all wisdom and knowledge.' Subsequently, Sayyiduna Ishaaq was born.
(Iafseer Khaza 'in-ul-'Irfan, pp. 938, summarized; part 26, Surah Az-Zariyaat, Ayah 24-29)
The Holy Quran has described this event in the following words:
Did the news of Ibraheem's honourable guests reach you (0 Beloved)? When they came to him ( and) said, 'Salam.' He answered, 'Salam.' And thought, 'These people are strangers.' Then he went to his home, so he brought a healthy (roasted) calf. He then presented it before them (and) said, 'Do you not eat?' So he inwardly began fearing them. They said, 'Do not fear.' And they gave him the glad tidings of a knowledgeable son. His wife came screaming then struck her Jo rehead and said, 'What! An old barren woman (will give birth to a child)?' They said (to the wife of Ibraheem), 'This is how your Lord has commanded. Indeed only He is The Wise, The All-Knowing.'
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)J (Part 2 6, Surah Az-Zariyaat, Ayah 24-30)

Moral: 

We get a lesson from this event that the angels occasionally come to people in the form of human beings. Therefore, it has been mentioned in some narrations that on the occasion of Hajj, some groups of angels are sent  in the form of human beings in various disguises at the Holy Ka'bah, Mina, 'Arafat, Muzdalifah, etc. by Allah  for trial of the pilgrims. Therefore, it is essential for the pilgrims to remain cautious in the crowds at Makka-tul­Mukarramah, Mina, 'Arafat, Muzdalifah, Tawaf of the Ka'bah and Madina­tul-Munawwarah and should make sure that they do not cause any sort of disrespect or offence to anybody and avoid quarrel or dispute with any tradesman, porter or beggar. You do not know whether the opponent is a human or an angel in the form of a human who is testing your forbearance and patience by pushing and scolding you. This is such a thing which people are generally unaware of. That's why they fight and quarrel with people on every step during their pilgrimage of Hajj, and sometimes, they suffer a great loss and harm in the worldly life and the afterlife.
Therefore, the most suitable method to avoid such a big loss is to keep a fear from everyone that perhaps he might be an angel who is in the guise of a tradesman, beggar or a labourer. Remain soft and polite when talking and dealing with anybody. Try your utmost best to keep everybody pleased and never cause a situation that may result in rough talk or rude words, as safety lies in this.

Do not trust the information provided by a TRANSGRESSOR

When the Muslims became successful in the battle of Bani Mustaliq in the 5th AH and when the Beloved and Blessed Rasool  married Sayyidatuna Juwayriyah who was the daughter of the chief of the tribe, the blessed companions freed all the captured prisoners saying,' A tribe in which the Greatest and Noblest Rasool has married into, no person of that tribe can be kept as a slave or a bondwoman.' Inspired by benevolent conduct of the Muslims, the whole tribe embraced Islam. After this, the Beloved Rasool sent Waleed Bin 'Uqbah to that tribe to collect Zakah from the rich people of the tribe and distribute it among its poor people.
When the people of the tribe 'Bani Al-Mustaliq' came to know about the arrival of Waleed, they came out of their town into the open field cheerfully with their weapons in the honour of welcoming the envoy of Islam. Some conflict and grudge had existed between W aleed and that tribe in the pre­Islamic era of ignorance. For this reason, Waleed perceived the arrangements of welcome as old enmity and returned to Madinah without inquiring about the reality from the people of the tribe. He
presented himself in the court of the Noble  Rasool  and said that the people of Bani Al-Mustaliq tribe have turned apostate and they have refused to pay Zakah. This news grieved the Noblest Rasool very much and the Muslims became aggravated by it. They began preparations for Jihad against the tribe.
On the other hand, the people of the Bani Al-Mustaliq tribe got stunned from this strange conduct of Waleed. When they came to know that W aleed has told a false story and had slandered them in the court of the Holy Rasool  , they sent a proper delegation in the court of the  Beloved Rasool   that cleared their guiltlessness in this matter.
Upon hearing both the sides i.e. Waleed and the delegation of Bani Al-Mustali  the Holy Rasool observed silence waiting for the Divine revelation to be revealed. Consequently, Ayahs of Surah Al-Hujurat were revealed which did not only bring to light the reality of the matter but also constituted a proper law and criterion for probing in such cases.
(I'afseer Khaza'in-ul-'Irfan, pp. 928; part 26, Surah Al-Hujurat, Ayah 6)
Those Ayahs are: 
0 believers! If any sinner brings you some news, so (you must) investigate it, in case you unknowingly cause suffering to some people, then (later on) remain regretful for what you have done. And know that Allah's Messenger is amongst you; if he acts according to your liking in many of your matters, so surely you would be in trouble. But Allah has made faith dear to you and has beautified it in your hearts, and has made disbelief and disobedience and sinning detested to you. The very same people are on the path (of guidance). (They love Faith because oj) the Benevolence and Favour of Allah; and Allah is All-Knowing, Ever Wise.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 2 6, Surah Al-Hujurat, Ayah 6-8)

1. It is a conunon practice and conduct of the people that any information that reaches their ears, they broadcast it openly and do not inquire or investigate into its authenticity. This conduct sometimes accuses a guiltless person or harms somebody.

Islam has declared this conduct to be completely wrong. In fact, the law of Islamic ethics mentioned by the Holy Quran is that whenever some news is heard, an investigation should first be carried out. Once its authenticity is proven, then it may be communicated to other people. Bringing our attention towards this very matter, the Rasool of Rahmah  has warned us saying:
It is sufficient to consider a person liar ifhe transmits to others whatever information he hears (without investigation).
(Sahih Muslim, pp. 8, Raqm 5)
2. It is proven from this Quranic Ayah that information delivered by a person who is just and abides by Shari' ah is reliable.
3. Some commentators have mentioned that this Ayah is not specifically for 'Waleed Bin 'Uqbah', but is general and was revealed regarding the information given by every transgressor.
4. The Holy Quran has mentioned Waleed Bin 'Uqbah as a transgressor despite him being a Sahabi (companion of the Holy Rasool). There is no ambiguity in this because after this incident, Waleed Bin 'Uqbah repented earnestly and his transgression was forgiven. Therefore, it is not permissible at all to call a Rasool' s companion a transgressor, because there is an unanimous decree that every companion was just, truthful and compliant to Shari'ah.

Fertility and infertility

I t is a tradition of Allah  that He  bestows some parents with daughter only and some with son and some with both i.e. son and  daughter. Moreover, there are also some people whom He   turns  infertile, neither bestowing them with daughter nor with son. This tradition of Allah  is not limited to ordinary people only, but He   has also
featured His distinguished people i.e. Ambiya   with these four cases. Sayyiduna Loot and Sayyiduna Shu'ayb   had daughters only and no sons, Sayyiduna Ibraheem   had only sons and no daughter.  The Beloved Rasool  was bestowed with four sons and four daughters. Sayyiduna 'Isa and Sayyiduna Yahya   were not bestowed with any children.
(Tafseer Ruh-ul-Bayan, vol. 8, pp. 342-343; part 25, Surah Ash-Shura, Ayah 49-50)
Allah   has described this subject in the Holy Quran in the following words:
He may bestow daughters to whomever He wills, and sons to whomever He wills. Or may mix them; the sons and daughters, and may make infertile whomever He wills. Indeed He is All-Knowing, All-Powerful.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 25, Surah Ash-Shura, Ayah 49-50)

Moral: 

Whether Allah  bestows someone with a daughter, a son, or both or makes someone infertile; these are all blessings of Allah. In the last
part of the abovementioned Ayah  r, there is a hint towards the
fact that, who is worthy to be bestowed with a daughter, who is deserving of getting a son and who has the eligibility of being blessed with both son and daughter and who is the one for whom it is better that he should not get any children at all, knowledge of all these matters lies with Him only as He alone bears Supreme Knowledge and Absolute Power. Despite the vast knowledge and perception of the human being, it is beyond the human cognition to determine what is better or worse for him in future. Allah has mentioned in the Holy Quran: 
It is likely, that you dislike a thing which is (actually) better for you; and it is likely, that you like a thing which is (actually) bad for you; and Allah knows, and you know not.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)J (Part 2, Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 216)
Therefore, the bondmen of Allah should not get displeased if they do not get something they wished for. Instead, they should observe patience and realize that they did not deserve that certain bounty. That's why, Allah did not bless them with it. Allah is the Most Knowledgeable and He knows very well who is worthy and who is not.

Daughters 

In these times, it has been observed that some people get upset and sad on the birth of daughters. Some go to the extent of refuting this Divine blessing by uttering foul phrases. It should be noted that becoming annoyed and upset upon the birth of daughters was a vile custom of the unbelievers in the times of ignorance. Allah  says in this context:
And when one amongst them is given the glad tidings of a daughter, his face darkens for the whole day, and he is full of anger. (He is) hiding from the people because of the shame of this news; will he keep her with disgrace, or bury her alive in the earth? Behold! Very evil is the judgement they apply.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation ofQuran)J (Part 14, SurahAn-Nahl, AyahSS-59)
It must be noted that the Islamic custom is to express happiness upon the
birth of daughters also and pay gratitude to Allah for the bestowment of
His blessing. Believing in the glad tidings mentioned in following Ahadees,
one may win bounties in the worldly life as well as afterlife. The Holy Nabi   has mentioned the following Ahadees in this context:
1. It is very blissful for a woman that first child born of her is daughter.
2. He who has some daughters and he treats them virtuously till he makes them marry according to Kufw (match), those daughters will become a shield for him against Hell.
3. The Rasool of Rahmah  said, 'You people should not perceive your daughters negatively, as I am also father of a few daughters.'
4. When a girl is born, then Allah  says, 'O girl! Descend unto the earth. I will help your father.'
(Iafseer Ruh-ul-Bayan, vol. 8, pp. 342; part 25, Surah Ash-Shura, Ayah 49-50)

Supplication by the DIVINE THRONE BEARERS

The angels who are bearers of the Divine Throne hold the highest rank among the angels. They have four wings on each of their arms and two wings on their face by which they hide their eyes. As regards to the fear of Allah  , these angels have more fear of Allah than the angels of the seventh sky, and the angels of the seventh sky are greater in their fear of Allah as compared to the angels of the sixth sky.
In the same manner, the angels of the sixth sky fear more than the angels of the fifth sky, the angels of the fifth sky fear more than the angels of the fourth sky, the angels of the fourth sky fear more than the angels of the third sky, the angels of the third sky fear more than the angels of the second sky and the angels of the second sky fear more than the angels of the first sky. Then comes the number of the angels who stay around the Throne of Allah , who are called Karubiyyeen  . They are the leaders of the rest of the angels and are very majestic.
It has been reported that there are seventy thousand rows of the angels surrounding the Divine Throne. Each row is one behind the other and all these angels perform Tawaf (circumambulation) of the Throne. Then after all of them, there is a row of seventy thousand angels who continuously praise and glorify Allah whilst placing their hands on their shoulders. After them there are another one hundred rows of the angels who are busy praising, glorifying and supplicating whilst placing their right hand over the left hand. (Iafseer As-Saawi, vol. 5, pp. 1815; part 24, Surah Al-Mu min, Ayah 7)
What is the supplication of all the angels? Let's see it in the following words of the Holy Quran. Allah says:
Those (angels) who carry the Throne, and those who are around it, proclaim the Purity of their Lord while praising Him, and they believe in Him and seek forgiveness for the believers. 'O our Lord! Everything is encompassed by Your Mercy and knowledge, therefore forgive those who repented and followed Your Path, and save them from the punishment of Hell. 0 our Lord! And admit them into the Gardens of dwelling which you have promised them, and (as well as) those who are virtuous amongst their forefathers and their wives and their offspring. Indeed only You are The Most Honourable, The Wise.'
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 24, Surah Al-Mu 'min, Ayah 7-8)
Moral: You have come to know about the supplication of the angels who are bearers of the Divine Throne and of those who perform Tawaf of the Throne of Allah . All these holy angels continuously pray in favour of us - the Muslims, our parents, our wives and for our children for salvation from the hellfire and for entry into the Paradise.
  How great and magnificent favour of the Holy Rasool   it is unto us - the Muslims, that by virtue of him, we the Muslims have acquired such a high rank and distinct status that countless number of esteemed angels supplicate for us, the sinful. And how esteemed angels! Those who are bearers of the Throne of Allah  and those who are busy in Tawaf of the Divine Throne!
  This all is by virtue of our affiliation with the most Beloved Rasool Muhammad  that has made so lowly people like us worthy of the supplications of the highly ranked angels.  ' so let's invoke Salat once with utmost devotion in the court of the Rasool of mankind, the Peace of our heart and mind, the most Generous and Kind .

SHACKLE IN THE NECK OF ABU JAHAL

Once, Abu Jahl and two  s tribe swore the oath that if they
would find Muhammad , they would crush his (blessed) head with some stone. When the Holy Rasool visited the blessed Ka'bah to offer Salah, Abu Jahl chased after him whilst holding a very huge stone in his hands. He lifted it above his head in order to throw it  on the Rasool of Rahmah but both of his hands came to his neck, the stone stuck to his hands, both of his wrists became tied to his chin and he returned unsuccessful in his mission.
The next day, Waleed Bin Mughayrah rebuked him and said, 'Give me that stone. I will crush his (blessed) head with it.' Therefore, this wicked soul intended to throw the rock on the blessed head of the Rasool of   Rahmah  when he was offering Salah. But all of a sudden, he became blind. He could hear the sound of the recitation of the Beloved and Blessed Rasool  but was unable to see him, and ultimately had to return where he could not even see his friends. When he called for them, his friends asked him what had happened. He told his pathetic story. Then the third person furiously took the stone in his hand, but the moment he reached near the Revered and Renowned Rasool he ran back nervously. Whilst gasping and trembling, he told his friends that when he reached near him, he saw such a terrifying bull waving his tail that he had never seen such in his life ever before. He swore by Laat and 'U zza, 'If I had gone near him, it would have killed me.'
(Iafseer Saawi, vol. 5, pp. 1706; Surah Yaseen, Ayah 8-9)
The Holy Quran has mentioned this event in the following words of Surah Yaseen: 
We have indeed put chains around their necks reaching up to the chins, so they remain facing upwards. And We have set a harrier in front of them and a harrier behind them, and covered them from above, so they see nothing.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 22, Surah Yaseen, Ayah 8-9)

Moral:

 It was one of the great miracles of the N abi of Rahmah . Many a time infidels hatched murder plans and tried their best, but they could not harm the Beloved and Blessed Rasool even in the least and following Divine revelation was fulfilled:
And Allah will protect you from (being martyred from) the people. [Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 6, Surah Al-Mai'dah, Ayah 67)
