@Maiwand

You reserve your democratic right to keep silent on the issue of conquest of India. Thats okay.

[Pakhtun_Policy]

Where is the info?

[Maiwand]

I agree with the hadith of the prophet that the muslims will eventually conquer India. But I don't agree with the Sufi vision part of the video. That is too far-fetched and non-islamic.

[Maiwand]

Where is the main post Maiwand?

Actually that video was supposed to be the main post. But because I didn't like the Sufi part inside it, I didn't post it.

Bro, certain Holy people who are very close to Allah has FIRASAT.This is an established fact of Shariah:

The exalted status of the firaasat (another word for vision) of saints is referred to in the hadith: "Ittaqu firaasat al-mu'min fa innahu yara bi noorillah" [Beware the vision of the believer, for he sees with the light of Allah].

I thought the meaning of firaasat was more like a kind of intuition. For example Umar (ra) had that. He would know from the face of someone what kind of character that man would have, that is more like an art, than vision. Only the prophets have visions like that. Of course one can dream sometimes what will happen, the good dream, but that would be not that detailed and with so many prophesies as thay "sufi saint" had. Only prophet can predict things and only on the basis of revelation, so not on his own.

This is where you and others are wrong. Firasat is not intuition. Allah shows in detail to his close servants.

Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "In the nations before you there were people who were spoken to (by Allah). If there was to be such a man among my community, it would be 'Umar." [al-Bukhari. Muslim transmits it from 'A'isha.]

Abu Bakr ® the first Caliph of Islam, willed at the time he was about to leave the world that his children would be looked after by Aisha ®. He said: My son and two daughters, I entrust them to you.” Now other than Aisha ® he had only one daughter named Asma. Aisha ® asked: “ I have only one sister, who is the other sister of mine?” He said, “My wife is pregnant. I think she will have a baby-girl.” Indeed, after his demise, a baby-girl was born to his wife as he had said. [This is also reported by ash-Shatibi in 'al-Muwafaqat' (4/85), and Ibn Taymiyyah in 'Majmu' al-Fatawa' (11/318)]

In Majmu’a Fataawa, Ibn Taimiyaa says: It is said that after the Seal of Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wassallam) revelation does descend but it is not called so. Rather it is called as what the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wassallam) referred to as the “Light of God”. The believer sees with the Light of God. When the believer sees through the Light of God he sees all things – the First and the Last; the Present and the Absent. How can anything be concealed from God’s light? And, if something does appear concealed, then it is not the Light of God. Therefore, the meaning of revelation exists even if it is not called so. Further, according to him: What is considered as a saint’s miracle, is that sometimes the saint hears what others do not hear or sees something that others do not see – not while he is asleep, but in a wakened state of vision. He even knows things that others cannot know, through revelation or inspiration – not while he is asleep, but in a wakened state of vision. He even knows things that others cannot know through revelation or inspiration.

So brother this FIRASAT or KASHF is a fact within Shariah,and those who despise Sufis should reconcider their iman again because the existance of the AuliaAllah (Friends of Allah ,wich are also called Sufi Saints,Peers,WalliUllah) do exist as this Hadith clearly mentiones that these people are a certain people not like any other people.A special kind of people that even Prophets and martyrs envy them:

Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA):

reported the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) as saying: There are people from the servants of Allah who are neither prophets nor martyrs; the prophets and martyrs will envy them on the Day of Resurrection for their rank from Allah, the Most High.

They (the people) asked: Tell us, Apostle of Allah, who are they? He replied: They are people who love one another for the spirit of Allah (i.e. the Qur'an), without having any mutual kinship and giving property to one. I swear by Allah, their faces will glow and they will be (sitting) in (pulpits of) light. They will have no fear (on the Day) when the people will have fear, and they will not grieve when the people will grieve.

He then recited the following Qur'anic verse: "Behold! Verily for the friends of Allah (AuliaAllah)there is no fear, nor shall they grieve." (Surah Yunus:62)

(Abu Dawud: Book 23 : Hadith 3520)

This hadith clearly shows that maybe in the past nations this was possible, but because Muhammad (pbuh) was the seal of the prophets and the last prophet and the Quran is a complete book and everything is mentioned therein. Also the hadith is very detailed, there is no need for further revelation or anything else.

That's why the prophet says: "If there was to be such a man among my community, it would be 'Umar." That means that in this ummah such person will not exist.

By the way that verse of awlya of Allah (swt) is misinterpreted, you become an awliya of Allah (swt) if you follow all his commandments, follow the shariah of islam completely and you follow the prophet completely and you avoid all sins. So every muslim can become that, it doesn't mean you will get some kind of revelation, that is not true.

Do you know how silly you sound trying to twist the meanings of Hadith. You know very well as I that Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) and his Ummah are the best Ummah to ever been created:

"You have been the best nation that has been raised up for mankind. You enjoin what is right, forbid what is wrong, and believe in Allah. If the People of the Book believe [in Islam], it would be better for them; there are believers among them, but most of them are backsliders. (Quran3.110)

So if the Ummah of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) hold such a high rank in the eyes of Allah,why would Allah deprive this Ummah of having "people spoken to" and previous genreations have "people spoken to".? It doesnt make sense.

I already gave you Hadith of Abu Bakr Sadiq (R.A) posessing FIRASAT /KASHF. So stop cherry picking. If you want Kashf/Firasat of Hazrat Omar (R.A) the rean this famous and well know Hadith about this:

It is reported from Hazrat Ibn `Umar (r) that he said that Hazrat `Umar (r) dispatched an army, making one man called Sariyya (r) leader (amir) over it. It is said that one day Hazrat `Umaar (r) was delivering the Friday sermon. In it he said loudly "Ya Sariyya al-jabal!" "O Sariyya! [towards] the mountain." Then a courier came from the army and said: "O Commander of the Faithful! We were on the verge of being defeated when we heard a voice thrice: "Ya Sariyya al-jabal!" So we moved the back our army near the mountain and Allah Most Holy defeated them." Ibn `Umar (r) says that Hazrat `Umar (r) was told that it was he who was shouting in that voice.

Hazrat Ibn `Umar (r) mentions that his father Hazrat `Umar (r) was delivering a sermon on Friday in the middle of his khutba he shouted, "Ya Sariyya al-jabal!" "O Sariyya! [towards] the mountain," and then he resumed his khutba and said, "He who stole a wolf, he oppressed." (i.e. he who fed and watered the enemy, he committed an act of oppression). So some people look at others (i.e. what is this matter?). Hazrat `Ali (r) said to them "He himself would say (something) about this statement." When the people had finished the prayer, they asked Hazrat `Umar (r). He said, "The idea crossed my mind that the idolaters defeated our brethren and the idolaters would run towards the mountain. So if the Muslims moved towards the mountain, they would have to fight from one side only, if they advanced, they would be destroyed. So those words escaped my mouth about which you say that you heard these words."
After a month came the deliver of good news. He said, "The people of the army heard Hazrat `Umar's (r) voice on that day. We all went towards the mountain and Allah made us victorious."

It says in one tradition that the people said to Hazrat `Ali (r), "Did not you hear Hazrat `Umar that while delivering the sermon from the pulpit he said, "Ya Sariyya al-jabal!"? Hazrat `Ali (r) said, "A thousand pities for you! Leave Hazrat `Umar (r) alone! Whenever he has entered anything, he has surely acquitted himself well.

Now do you still doubt the FIRASAT /KASHF of HAzrat Omar and other Sahabah? If you do you are just fooling yourself,no one else as Hadith are clear proofs.


And your ignorancy and arrogancy astonishes me when the Prophet (pbuh) is clearly saying :

"Beware the vision of the believer, for he sees with the light of Allah,then he recited the verse of "Surely! In this are the signs for the mutawassimeen." [15:75] ( TIRMIZI)

So you are better knowledgable than the Prophet (pbuh) that there are no people in this Ummah to have FIRASAT ?



And when it come to your claim that everyone can become Aulia ,I tell you to look clearly again the following Hadith. It doesnt talk about the WILAYA AMMA ( General closeness to Allah) that everyone can achieve,but it talks about WILAYA KHAS ( Special closeness to Allah) of certain chosen ones wich I will explain further down below:

Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA):

reported the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) as saying: There are people from the servants of Allah who are neither prophets nor martyrs; the prophets and martyrs will envy them on the Day of Resurrection for their rank from Allah, the Most High.

They (the people) asked: Tell us, Apostle of Allah, who are they? He replied: They are people who love one another for the spirit of Allah (i.e. the Qur'an), without having any mutual kinship and giving property to one. I swear by Allah, their faces will glow and they will be (sitting) in (pulpits of) light. They will have no fear (on the Day) when the people will have fear, and they will not grieve when the people will grieve.

He then recited the following Qur'anic verse: "Behold! Verily for the friends of Allah (AuliaAllah)there is no fear, nor shall they grieve." (Surah Yunus:62)

(Abu Dawud: Book 23 : Hadith 3520)


Look at the part where ity says:
"
"There are people from the servants of Allah who are neither prophets nor martyrs; the prophets and martyrs will envy them on the Day of Resurrection for their rank from Allah, the Most High. "


Therefore this Hadith talks of a certain chosen people NOT all people.


And to clarify the matter more to you there are two types of WILAYAT :

1)Wilayat-e-Amma (general closeness to Allah) – This is the closeness of Allah to every believer, as Allah declares in the Holy Quran: “We are closer to him, than his own jugular vein.” (Surah Al-Kaaf, Verse 16)

2)Wilayat-e-Khaas (special closeness to Allah) – This closeness is exclusive to the Awliya. This is a speciality of those who have traveled on the path of Tasawwuf, and attained nearness to Allah. This is declared in a Hadith-e-Quddsi, where Allah says to the Holy Prophet Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam, “Among the things that bring My servant close to Me, the ones I love best, are the things that I have made fard (compulsory). When My servant does nafil ibaadat (optional prayer), he gets very close to Me. So much so, that I love him very much. When I love Him, I become his hearing ear, seeing eye, holding hand, and walking foot. I give him whatever he wishes. When he invokes Me for help, I protect him.”

Allah’s closeness is not like material closeness that can be understood by reason, or perceived through the sense organs. It can only be comprehended through the knowledge of Ma’rifa (gnosis) bestowed by Allah upon the Awliya. From the Awliya of all the ummahs (of the previous Prophets), the greatest Awliya are from the ummah of Sayidina Rasoolallah (Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam). There have been Awliya Allah in every era and there will always be Awliya Allah in every era. However, their recognition may be difficult.
The Quran divides those that are favoured by Allah into 4 groups:

a)The Prophets – This cycle has ended after the appearance of Rasoolallah (Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam).

b)The Siddiques (The Truthful) – This rank is next after the Prophets. The greatest Siddique was Hazrat Abu Bakr (Radi Allahu Anhu). The meaning of Siddique is Truth. Such a person recognizes truth in all its manifestations.

c)The Shuhada (Martyrs) – One need not actually be killed in the battlefield to prove one’s self as shaheed (martyr). One in this stage feels satisfied by sacrificing everything that he has for the Creator.

d)The Salih (Pious) – This is the lower grade that one can attain by devotional activities. In this stage, one cleanses himself from all spiritual impurities such as jealousy, hatred, hypocrisy etc.

From the Awliya of the ummah of Sayidina Rasoolallah (Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam), the most superior Awliya are the four Khulafa-e-Rashideen (The Righteously guided Caliphs), namely Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique Radi Allahu Anhu, Hazrat Umar Farooq Radi Allahu Anhu, Hazrat Uthmaan Ghani Radi Allahu Anhu, and Hazrat Ali Murtaza Radi Allahu Anhu, and then all the other Sahaaba. All the Sahaaba were Awliya, BUT all Awliya are not Sahaaba.

Amongst the Awliya are the following groups:




At any given time, there are 124000 Awliya living on Earth. They are not recognized by the general public. In fact, amongst them, one does not know the other depending on their spiritual rank, and some of them are themselves not aware of the validity of their actions and devotion.

300 from this group are statesman, involved in the administration of this world. They control all transactions that take place. They are known as the “Akhyaar”.

Amongst these 300, 40 are known as “Abdaal”.

Amongst the 40, 7 are “Abraar”.

Amongst this 7, 4 are “Autaad”.

Amongst these 4, 3 are “Noqabah”.

From these 3, 1 is the “Ghaus” or “Qutub”. He is the most senior of them all, and head of the spiritual assembly.


In reference to the Abdaals, Imam At-Tabarani Radi Allahu Anhu quotes a Hadith Shareef in which the Holy Prophet (Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam) declares, “There will always exist 40 persons on the Earth, each of whom is blessed like Hazrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam). It rains because of their barakah. Allah appoints another when one of them dies.”
In another Hadith Shareef, Abu Naeem Radi Allahu Anhu reports that the Holy Prophet (Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “There always exist 40 persons among my ummah. Their hearts are like that of Hazrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam). Allah Ta’aala redeems His human servants from disasters for their sake. They are called Abdaal. They do not attain to that degree by performing salaah, fasting, or giving zakaah.”
