Remember the Grave




“O People, no prophet or apostle will come after me and no new faith will be born.  Reason well, therefore, O People, and understand words which I convey to you. I leave behind me two things, the Quran and my example, the Sunnah and if you follow these you will never go astray.” [From the Final Sermon of Prophet Muhamamd ( peace and blessings be upon him)]
I was going to write a lengthy  introduction… but then again, there is no need as I will pass on to our reader Muhammad Elijah on the issue of dealing with Ahl-Ul_ Bidah ( People of Innovations).

Assalaamu ‘Alaikum waRahmatu(A)llaahi waBarakaatuh
Part 1
“People will bring evidence from the Sunnah insisting on the prophethood of others after Prophet Muhammad (saw)”
That is why, Knowledge of Sunnah and Knowledge of Arabic is so important.Ignorance of Sunnah and Ignorance of Arabic is pervasive even among educated Ahl-us-Sunnah brothers and sisters.Most of female Ahl-us-Sunnah scholars can only speak Arabic or Urdu.Many are justified to consider internet Haraam due to pornography.Qadiani or Bahai women on the other hand are well-educated in worldly terms to fluently speak English and use internet and interact with new Muslims, but their Ignorance of Sunnah and Ignorance of Arabic is apalling to the point of destruction of Qabr and Aakhirah.Muslimahs like you can do effective(InshaaAllaah) Da’wah and Du’aa for such women who at least ,in theory, profess claim to follow Qur’aan.
“However It is good to listen to others point of view.;) Sometimes!!! ”
I had read the following in the book Foundation of Sunnah by Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal rahimahu(A)llaah.
The prohibition of argumentation with the Ahlul-Bidah is a matter upon,
which there is unanimous agreement between the Salaf and likewise
turning away from them and avoiding their gatherings. Qaadee Aboo
Ya’laa (d. 333H) said in Hajarul-Mubtadi’, p. 32, “There is consensus
(Ijmaa) among the Sahaabah and the Taabi’een as regards dissociating
and cutting-off from the Innovators.”
There is a Du’aa:
Allaahumma Arinal Haqqa Haqqan waRzuqnaa Ittibaa’ah
waArinal Baatila Baatilan waRzuqnaJtinaabah
Yaa Allaah!Make us see Al-Haqq(The Truth) as Al-Haqq and give us Tawfeeq of Its Ittibaa’(Following it)
And Make us see Al-Baatil(The non-Truth) as Al-Baatil and give us Tawfeeq of Its Ijtinaab(Avoiding It)
May Allaah guide us all to the path of Rasool sall Allaahu ‘alaihi wasallam and His As-haab radiyAllaahu ‘anhum as commanded by Rasool sall Allaahu ‘alaihi wasallam in a Hadeeth recorded by Imaam Tirmidhi rahimahu(A)llaah.
Part 2
Tawaasi bil Haqq(commanded by Allaah in Soorah Al-’Asr to all Muslims) to Ahl-ul-Bid’ah is a duty that ‘Ulamaa of Ahl-us-Sunnah has performed throughout ages.
Ibn Taymiyah rahimahu(A)llaah, for example, wrote a Radd(refutation) of Rawaafid Ahl-ul-Bid’ah(Iranians for example) who balspheme Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Abubakr radiyAllaahu ‘anhu who was with Rasool sall Allaahu ‘alaihi wasallam in Ghaar(Cave) on the night of Hijrah(which started the Islamic calender) and this incident is a part of Qur’aan-ul-Hakeem, Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen ‘Umar bin Khattaab radiyAllaahu ‘anhu about whom Rasool sall Allaahu ‘alaihi wasallam said that if it was possible for someone to BECOME a Nabi after me(Not that it was impossible for the only previous Nabi to DESCEND), He would have been ‘Umar, and Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen ‘Uthmaan bin ‘Affaan radiyAllaahu ‘anhu who became a Shaheed(Martyr) while doing Tilaawah(recitation) of Qur’aan-ul-Hakeem.
What we should do when the Knowledge of Arabic and Sunnah of Ahl-us-Sunnah(Most Muslims on the planet,sects have always remained a minority in Islam) themselves is limited?
We should encourage Ahl-us-Sunnah to acquire Knowledge of Arabic and Sunnah by remaining in close contact with, and learning from ‘Ulama and Madaaris who are responsible for running Masaajid throughout the planet,MaaShaaAllaah.
All Ahl-us-Sunnah who happen to read these Ahaadeeth of Rasool sall Allaahu ‘alaihi wasallam would InshaaAllaah be immune to Ahl-ul-Bid’ah as well as Murtads.
The followers of a Mutanabbi(any claimant of Prophethood after Nabi Muhammad sall Allaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) are not considered Ahl-ul-Bid’ah(Who deviate from Sunnah) but Murtads(Apostates of Islam).
You should memorize the above Ahaadeeth of Rasool sall Allaahu ‘alaihi wasallam as well as the Du’aa, so should all Ahl-us-Sunnah readers.One of the Salaf said:Sunnah is like Ark of Nooh ‘alaihis salaam. Who boards it, is saved.Who doesn’t board it is lost.
Rasool sall Allaahu ‘alaihi wasallam said:If you hold fast to Kitaab(Book) of Allaah and Sunnah of His Nabi(sall Allaahu ‘alaihi wasallam), you would never go astray.(You would never be among Ad-Daalleen, as we do Du’aa in Soorah Al-Faatihah, because both words(one in the above Hadeeth of Rasool sall Allaahu ‘alaihi wasallam and the other in Soorah Al-Faatihah) have the same grammatical root).
It is interesting that none among the Ahl-ul-Bid’ah and Murtads who claim to be Muslims would ever disagree in theory to the words Sunnah and Salaf.He or she only would try to exploit(and even himself or herself is being exploited) due to Jahaalah(Ignorance) about Arabic, Sunnah and Salaf.Only solution is ‘Ilm of Arabic, Sunnah and Salaf and Du’aa of Hidaayah.

Part 3
I would say May Allaah reward my mother who was influential in my learning of Qur’aanic Arabic.After all, Jannah lies beneath the feet of mother.The Imaam of the Masjid back in our village has departed Dunyaa(has died).I would be participating in his Salaat-ul-Janaazah.So, I will look forward to a post about Qabr,Munkar Nakeer,Salaat-ul-Janaazah, if possible.Munkar Nakeer(Two Angels) ask three questions in Qabr.Man Rabbuka(Who is your Rabb/Lord?)Maa Deenuka(What is your Deen/Religion?)Man Nabiyyuka(Who is your Nabi/Prophet?)
There is a Du’aa:Radeetu bi(A)llaahi Rabban(I am pleased to Allaah as my Rabb)wabilIslaami Deenan(I am pleased with Islam as my Deen)wabiMuhammadin sall Allaahu ‘alaihi wasallama Rasoola(n)a(I am pleased with Muhammad sall Allaahu ‘alaihi wasallam as my Nabi)I had asked many Qadianis a question, what answer would you give in Qabr(Grave) when asked Man Nabiyyuka?

I have only received evasive responses, because Rasool sall Allaahu ‘alaihi wasallam  never told about any person BECOMING Nabi after Him.
