Prophet Muhammad and Abraham

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)was a descendant of Abraham. Its details are as under: Abraham had two sons(1)Ismaeel,(2)Ishaq.

Ismaeel's descendant is Prophet Muhammad(PBUH), and Ishaq or Isaac’s descendants are Jews: Ishaq's son was Jacob, Jacob's surname was Israel, Jewish people are Banu Israel in Arabic, and descendants of Ismail are Banu Ismail in Arabic.

How many times did Prophet Muhammad PBUH Pray:

Prophet Muhammad PBUH used to pray many times voluntarily for example after midnight(tahajjud),at Ishraq, or after the sun raises, salat al dhuha, but before all mandatory prays except maghrib he used to pray, voluntarily, as he used to pray after all Farth or mandatory pray except Asr. It is noteworthy that the prophet had a special status in Nafl or voluntary prays, some voluntary prays we're mandatory for the Prophet as tahajjud pray. (سورۃالمزمل).He used to pray when he arrived from a journey. Thise All prays except five times Farth prays are not mandatory for the Muslim Ummah.

Which religion older Judaism, Christianity or Islam ?

Islam means obeying the order of God with the oneness of Almighty, this order brought by the Prophet of the age. According to the Holy Quran Islam not begins with the Prophet Muhammad, but Noah, Abraham, Moses were messengers of Islam. Therefore Islam is the older religion, it names are different in every era. Islam does not begin by the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, but he brought a new law, not a new Deen or religion. At the period of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus (الدين)religion was Islam, but New thing which Prophet Muhammad brought is Sharia(شريعة) or the law or way of life.

Quran says: He has prescribed for you the religion which he had enjoined upon Noah and which we have also revealed to you, and which we had enjoined upon Abraham, Moses and Jesus, declaring, Maintain the religion, and do not be divided in it. (surtushura:13)

Allah says to the Prophet Muhammad in the Holy Qur'an: Say, O people of the book! (Jewish and Christian people)Come to a word common between us and you: that we will worship no one but Allah, and that we will not ascribe any partner to him, and that we will not take each other as lords besides Allah. But if they turn away, Be witnesses that we are Muslims. O people of the book!why do you argue concerning Abraham? Neither the Torah not the Evangel were sent down until after him.Do you not apply reason? Ah! You are the very ones who argue about that of which you have knowledge.why then do you argue about that of which you have no knowledge? And Allah knows and you do not know. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian. Rather he was a hanif, a Muslim, and he was not one of the polytheists. Indeed the nearest of all people to Abraham are those who follow him, and this prophet and those who have faith, and Allah is the Guardian of the faithful.(Surat Al Imran:65,66,67,68)

Last days of Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar

Maulana Mohammed Ali Jauhar in 1923 was president of all India Congress party, later on, he became a founder member of All India Muslim League. In 1930 he attended the first Round Table Conference in London and delivered a significant speech, a part of his speech is noteworthy:

“I hope you will forgive this long introduction about my ill-health and ailments and all sorts of things; but the fact is that today the one purpose for which I came is this–that I want to go back to my country if I can go back with the substance of freedom in my hand. Otherwise, I will not go back to a slave country. I would even prefer to die in a foreign country, so long as it is a free country; and if you do not give us freedom in India you will have to give me a grave here.”

He died of a stroke in London on 4 January 1931 and was buried in the Holy City of Jerusalemby the choice of his relatives, friends and admirers, and not returned to their own slave country as he said in his speech incidentally.

About Khilafat movement, the one famous stanza of the poetry of the age necessarily needs to be mentioned:

بولی اماں محمد علی کی

جان بیٹا خلافت پہ دیدو

‘Muhammad Ali's mother said, to him: My beloved son! sacrifice yourself on the Khilafat.’

Maulana Shaukat Ali, the big brother of Mohammed Ali died in Delhi 1938, buried in the Park in front of Jama Masjid.

Indian origin names of the Muslims in India :

Indian origin Muslims names are different from Iranian, Malaysian and Indonesian Muslims, for example, Indian Muslims have Raju, Pehl U, Banney, Paltu, Suraj khan, Chand Khan like names. In north India, especially in the villages, some Muslim names are as under: Daulat Ram khan, kanahyya, Kundan, Murari Khan, Rahul, Sehdev, Rohit, for female: Kunti, Mehki, Rekha, etc, some abovementioned names are usually originating from old Hindu mythology and common in Hindus and Muslims. Moreover, south Indian Muslims name is different from north indians. So it is absolutely wrong to say that Indian Muslims haven't Indian origin names. In this very context famous Urdu poet Allama Iqbal, says:

واعظ تنگ نظر نے مجھے کافر جانا

اور کافر یہ سمجھتاہے کہ مسلمان ہوں میں.

“Narrow mind preacher of belives about me because of the unislamic habits that I have no belief in Islam properly, while none Muslim believe that I am a proper Muslim

Remarriage for Halala is unIslamic and taboo

The so called halalah is absolutely prohibited and haram.No wedlock of this kind, in fact, existing in the Holy Quran. It is derived mistakingly from the verses of the Holy Quran which is usually misinterpreted by those who are favouring this taboo act presenting under mentioned verses:

“(Revocable) divorce maybe only twice; then( let there be) either honourable retention or a kindly release. And it is not lawful for you to take back anything from what you have given them unless the couple fears that they may not maintain Allah's bound. So if you fear they would not maintain Allah's bounds, thee is no sin upon them in what she may give to secure her release. These are Allah's bounds, so do not transgress them, and whoever transgresses the bounds of Allah_it is they who are the wrongdoers. (230) And if he divorces her, she will not be lawful for him until she marries a husband other than him, and if he divorces her, there is no sin upon them to remarry if they think that they can maintain Allah's bounds.”

In the above-mentioned verse pre-plan remarriage for a time being is not included but Prophet Muhammad PBUH cursed this kind of marriage. Abu Dawood (the book of authentic traditions of the Prophet)and Ibn Majah (authentic book of hadith)reported that both the first husband and the temporary husband were cursed by God, and Ibn Majah calls the temporary husband "a borrowed billy-goat". Al-Hakim Nishapuri adds that marriage should be based on genuine intentions, and that in the time of Muhammad, tahleel spouses would have been considered adulterers.

No caste system in Islam

The caste system is not acceptable in Islam, Quran says:إن أكرمكم عند الله أتقاكم “indeed who is more fearing from Allah amongst you is more honourable in the sight of Allah”

The complete translation is as under:

“I mankind!indeed we created you from male and female, and made you nations and tribes that you may identify yourselves with one another.indeed the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the most God wary among you.”(سورۃ الحجرات:13)

Prophet Muhammad PBUH said in their last address in Arafat:

“O people!your God is one, and your ancestor is also one.You are all the progeny of Adam who was created from earth.The most respected before God amongst you is one who is most God fearing.No Arab has preference over a non-Arab or a non-Arab over an Arab.Preference,if any is on the basis of the fear of God.Bew are that I have conveyed the word of Allah.O Allah Be thou the witness.”

Why pray only in Mosque face to Kaaba only?

Just all that Islamic ways will be valid and validated that are according to the guidance of the Prophet Muhammad(PBUH).It is absolutely true that Allah is omnipresent, he was directed the Prophet Muhammad to perform obligatory or mandatory Salah in the Mosques facing the Kaaba with congregation,it's Prophet's way and Allah said: ‘Do as the messenger of Allah has given you the directions’.So performing Farz or mandatory salah in the Mosques is the way of the Prophet,and performing salah according to the way of the Prophet is the exact way which is appreciated by Allah. Therefore Muslims go five times in a day and night to the mosques to perform their fard or Mandatory Salah, according to the guidance of the Prophet (PBUH).It has numerous social advantages.

Since Allah does not have a face and he is omnipresent, i.e., everywhere, then why pray only in Mosque and why face Kaaba only?

My favourite Poetry

My favourite poetry in Urdu is different Ghazals and Nazams of Faiz Ahmad Faiz but I love this Ghazal of Insha more:

اس شہر میں کس سے ملیں ہم سے تو چھوٹی محفلیں

ہر شخص تیرا نام لے ہر شخص دیوانہ تیرا
