100+ and counting

Its been ages since i wrote about anything on my blog.Actually blog was the only way to express my feelings but now i have really been blessed with some good friends with whom i could share my feelings and hence didn't find the need to blog.

It was around 4 months back when a brother contacted me for the English booklet I wrote on Allama Fazle Haq Khairabadi.After that we became very good friends and later found out the we have so much in common.

The brother is from one of the largest AhleSunnat website with more than 60,000 visitors per month, NafseIslam .He and his another friend, who is founder of the website urged me to take up the Mufti Service they started on their website as the Mufti they were looking for was not in town and questions were pouring in. Finally I took up the task with the name of ALLAH and today Alhumdulillah I have completed more than 100 audio fatwas: Alhumdulillahi ala zalika

May ALLAH give me Ikhlas and protect me from errors in replying to questions.

I present the sawaab of these 100+ fatwa's to complete ummat-e-muslima,especially Huzur Sayyade Aalam SallallahuAlaihWassalam ,Khulafa-e-Rashideen,All Sahaba,All A'imma,Huzur Imam-e-Azam,Huzur Gaus-e-Paak & Huzur Khwaja Gareeb Nawaz, Imam-e-AhleSunnat & Mufti-e-Azam Hind raziALLAHuTa'alaUnhum.

May ALLAH, with the barkat of this service, protect me in this world and after :Aameen

tanha :(

Its been a longtime,being alone.

Some of the Sunni organizations have asked me to join them.But very frankly,first love is first love.I cant give my all love & dedication to any other organization.

I am all alone now.Late night from 11pm to 12MN, I am up with my laptop,my books and my students teaching them old Arabic scripts.

This is what I'm doing these days,out of people,out of lime light.

Dil Mein Ho Yaad Teri,Go Sha-e-Tanhaayi Ho
Fir To Khalwat Mein Ajab,Anjuman Aaraayi ho!

Ramzan 2011

Alhumdulillah Im seeing 26th Ramzan of my life now!

This ramzan is quite calm as compared to previous years,as I have left behind the group I was associated with.The period between last ramzan to this ramzan has been disastrous for me.I did some of the greatest mistakes I never imagined even in my dreams.

Today after taraveeh,I offered 2 raka'at Salatut Tauba and make sincere tauba for all the mistakes I have done so far. May ALLAH Azzawajal give me istiqamat over my Tauba and make this Ramzan zaria-e-nijaat for me : Aameen

I know ghosts of past will haunt me,I beg ALLAH azzawajal to protect me from them:Aameen

posses-ism

I have always being a victim of posses-ism.When I was in school I had possessive friends around me, when I moved to college, again, had possessive friends and when i moved to other part,the religious part of my life, again I could find super possessive friends.

I was never possessive. In fact I hated posses-ism.But now I guess even I have grown this trait. I was wondering what makes us possessive,it is the fear to loose the person or something else?I don't know.

Every person has a right to live the life as per his wish,No body can direct him,this was my answer to my possessors.They got hurt,some even cried, though I knew they did everything for me and would do anything for me.

Then why I'm having this feeling now?Is its because I never cared about the feelings of my possessors,and this is result of that?

Split personality

per Wikipedia:

Dissociative identity disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis and describes a condition in which a person displays multiple distinct identities or personalities (known as alter egos or alters), each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment.

I guess I am also suffering from Split personality disorder.When I am at Office,I am different.
When I am at Home,I am Different. When I am with friends,I am different & When I am with other friends I am different.And every time totally different. Am I faking to myself or to the world?

I change so many faces every now and then.Is it only me or other people also experience this? Sometime I understand the amanat I have and sometime I totally forget that I'm a human. One moment I am with friends in Imama & Jhubba and other moment roaming with my friend in T-Shirt & Jeans.

I am tired of these changing faces & personalities.Why cant I stick to one,my true self?I Finally want to stick one face,my true face.I know its difficult,very difficult but I have to do it now.

The night of Shab-e-Bara'at is approaching fast.Book of deeds of previous years will be closed and new book will be opened and fate for next one year will be written. When I think of Book of deed which is going to be closed I become happy seeing that,I graduated as Faazil, got authorization of Silsila-e-Qadiriya,Got permission to write fatawas,started worlds first pure Sunni academy and started teaching Aalim course, but at same time when I look at some of other deeds,which i never even dreamt of ,happened,I feel sad & ashamed.May ALLAH azzawajal forgive all my previous sins and convert them into rewards and bless me with life in next year as per his & his Rasool's wish:Aameen.

Mufti Sahab!!!

" Mufti Sahab idhar aaiye"
" Mufti Sahab chaliye Khana Kha lijiye"
" Ye hain hamare Mufti Kashif bangalore se"

OMG...They are talking about me??????

How it feels when someone calls you Mufti?It feels great but am I worthy of it?I am sure NO,i am neither mentally nor intellectually Mufti. Yeah,I had a dream being a Mufti someday and that some day is arriving soon,next month. I used to read about Fatwa Raddul Muhtar,Fatawa Alamgere,Badai us Sanai etc. in books but never imagined one day I would read those books and give fatwa from these books. Around 5 years back,we had DawateIslami Ijtima near Jamia Bilal,at night due to congestion Muballighs had to sleep at terrace Idara-e-Shariah.It was never in my imagination one day I would be sitting here and writing fatwas.I still remember how I completed my Aalim course last year. During last year we didn't had a place to sit. My ustaz and me used to sit at Shanti Nagar graveyard. I took lessons of Bukhari Muslim & Hidaya in graveyard!

haaza fazlullahi yu tihi mainy ya sha'a
(This is blesing of ALLAH,he showers on whomever he wants)

I have been to my best friends marriage at Gangavathi. Alhumdulillah he is Muballigh hence called a lot of Ulema. His Nikah was read by his peer Mufti Mujeeb Ashraf Qibla(Khalifa-e-Mufti Azam Hind and Qazi-e-Shariah of Maharashtra) and with him there where dozens of other Ulema to bless him. Muballighs of SDI & DI were also present. Mufti Mujeeb Ashraf Qibla blessed me with his dua for ifta course and other works.I had an honor to meet Allama Qalandar Razwi who is Shiekhul Hadees at DarulUloom Raza-e-Mustafa,Raichur and Khalifa of Allama Najeeb Ashraf Sahab(Marehra Shareef) & Mufti Mujeeb Ashraf Sahab Qibla. He very rarely has time and alhumdulillah I had lengthy talks with him and other ulema. He was very happy listening to Ihya Academy and gave lots and lots of Dua's. He invited me to his Darul Uloom as Examiner for forthcoming Aalim final Annual examinations.He said "when you where introduced to me as Maulana Kashif,i thought on maddaa " ka sha faa" of your name and thought there should be some 'kashf' as name has some effect on personality and now after listening to work its clear,May ALLAH make you center of Faizan of Auliya and ALLAH will take from the work of AhleSunnat". I know these are the kind and encouraging words of elders and I know I am not at all worthy of these praises. May ALLAH azzawajal make me worthy of these praises:Aameen

The Nikah was on 30th and Walima on 31.In Nikah I met muballighs of SDI and had lengthy talk with them.While coming I had my train from Hospet which is 1.5 hour from Gangavathi. Before reaching Hospet SDI Muballigh called me and later recieved me at Bus Stop. We offered Magrib and had Dinner together and later after Eisha they came with me till Railway Station. Alhumdulillah I was impressed by their Akhaq.May ALLAH bless each and every Muballigh with best akhlaq & zeal to work for Ahle Sunnah:Ameen

Finally,May ALLAH bless my best of best friend Nooruddin Razwi with best of married life:Ameen

SSF confrence May 2011

Alhumdulillah I had an honor to attend the SSF National conference in Bangalore.Around 100 delegates from around India attended the conference to talk abut the propagation of Ahle Sunnat wal Jamat in India.

The conference was presided over by Abdul Hakim Azhari.Maulana Hussain Saquafi gave speech on how each and every sect in Islam was introduced by Britishers let it be Wahabiyat or Deobandiyat. How even after whole family being Sunni some or the other member will subcribe to Wahabi thought.He talked about the Sunni masajids taken over by Wahabism and role of youth in propagation of Sunni thoughts.

After Zohar there was open session.I delivered a bayan on work of hanafi Sunni tahreek in Karnataka. I talked about the work done by DawateIslami, Sunni DawateIslami , Noori Foundation & Ihya Academy.

Sayyadina wa Shiekhuna Shiekh Abu Bakr Musliyar formally inaugurated the conference after Asar. He delivered a powerful urdu speech on Aqeeda and its importance.

Next day we had classroom session on 'How to Organize' taken by Advocate. Alhumdulillah it was a very interesting & informative session which provided us the information on how to organize the activities and lead them.

In Morning when i came to markaz,my friend Abdullah was leaving to meet Shiekh Abubakr Musliyar,I also went with him.When we reached the room,he was sleeping,he woke after a few minutes.I went to his bed, kissed his hands,he put his his blessed hands on my face and beard and asked what do I do.I told him I am studying Ifta,he asked which all books do you study,I told him the books name.I kept sitting at his bed side with his blessed hands in my sinful hands for several minutes.I asked him a sharai masla and he answered that.I would have really done something good that I got the opportunity to be with the Imam of 15th century:alhumdulillahi ala zalika

I came back to makaz.As i had to leave for Gangavathi for my best friends marriage I came back early before formal closure conference.

Alhumdulillah,In these 2 days I had the chance to interact with many Shafii Ulema who are working in different parts of India.It was an honor for me that I was invited by many to their institutes in Coimbatore & Pune.I really wish I could attend all these but due to my packed schedule I really doubt if its possible.

May ALLAH azzawajal take from me the work of AhleSunnat:Ameen

آرزوء

عمر کٹتی چلی جا رهی هے ،وقت گزتا چلا جا رها ے،لیکن غفلت کے بادل نهیں چهٹ رهے،قدم نهین رک رهے،گناهوں کی یلگار اور عصیاں کی بهرمار جهننم کی طرف لئے جا رهی هے.
یا الله مجهے ایمان و عافیت کے ساته حقیقی شهادت والی موت عطا فرما ،کیاپته میرے خون کے قترے میرے نامئےاعمال سے گناهوں کو مٹا دیں اور بروزقیامت تیری بارگاه میں چهرا دکهانے کے لاءق بنا دے : آمین

Namaz-e-Janaza inside masjid & Deobandis

Few weeks back I attended my friend's father's funeral.I was called to give Gusl to dead body,as I never had any practical experience but only theoretical knowledge which I studied in Aalim & Mufti course,I couldn't do anything except to watch.

Alhumdulillah My friends whole family is ba-shara'a and they all keep beard.His father also had beard,while giving gusl Shafi Bhai showed us that the fingers were in position of tashahaddud. After Gusl and takfeen, Imama Shareef was tied and he was taken for Graveyard masjid for Namaz-e-Janaza.

The real drama started here.Some of my friends relative are Deo/Tablighis,they were insisting to pray Namaz-e-Janaza in masjid,they said all of their relatives janaza was read in Masjid,then why not now.And we Sunni's were strongly opposing it.Finally my friend said that as he is wali ,he wants to pray outside masjid.With all quarrel we prayed outside the masjid and moved towards grave.

In Qabr we kept Shajra & Ahadnama,again seeing this Deobandi's were murmuring.After Dafan we gave Azan on Qabr and did talqeen as per custom of AhleSunnat.Finally after 40 step I did duwa and we left.

The mas'ala of praying janaza inside masjid again showed the ignorance of deobandiz and tablighis in fiqh hanafi.The core texts of Hanafi fiqh clearly indicate that praying namaze janaza inside masjid is not allowed. Ironically even deobandiz read same text as we but,as Allama Mushtaq Ahmad Nizami said:"Deobandi Bolta hai,Samajhta nahin"

Quduri,core hanfi text,its class 3rd or 4th text of Aalim course,which is taught in every deobandi madrasa clearly states:



And (Namaze Janaza) will not be read over mayyat inside masjid-e-Jama'at

Lubab,the most famous commentary on Quduri says:

(namaze janaza will not be read over mayyat inside masjid-e-jamat) i.e. Jamea Masjid and local Masjid,and just like its makrooh-e-tahrimi to pray over mayyat its makrooh-e-tahrimi to take the mayyat inside the masjid.

Above refrences clearly indicate that its not allowed to pray over dead inside masjid.

Though there are other references from Fiqh books like Hidaya,Fatawa Shami & Fatawa Hindiya, but refrence from a primer like Quduri should be enough to understand their intelligence.

and ALLAH & his Rasool knows best.

A new life~

Ek baar bazar me ek Durvesh baitha tha,

Badshah ne pucha: Kya kar rahe ho?
Durvesh Bola:Bando ki ALLAH se Sulah karwa raha hun,aaj ALLAH to maan raha hai lekin Bande nahin maan rahe.

Kuch dino ke baad Badshah ne Durvesh ko dekha ki Qabristan me baitha ro raha hai,

Badshah ne pucha:Kya kar rahe ho?
Durvesh Bola:ALLAH ki bando se sulah karwa raha hun,Bande to maan rahe hain lekin aaj ALLAH nahin maan raha!

W are humans,we err,but the lord is all ways ready to forgive us,no matter how big crime we commit.I have also committed sins,but

Mere Aib'on pe Daal Kar Parda,
Mujhko Acchon me Daal Rakha hai
Mustafa Ne Sambhal Rakha Hai

Imam Ahmad Raza wrote:Aalim-e-Deen apne gunah me wo hissa khauf o nadamat ka rakhta hai ki use jald nijaat bakshta hai,wa lihaza hadees me irshad hua ,Ki aalim ka hath Rabbul Izaat ke daste qudrat me hai,agar wo lagzish bhi kare to ALLAH ta'ala jab chahe use utha lega(Fatawa Razwiya Vol:23,Page687)

Dil Haaye Gunahon Se Bezaar Nahin Hota
Maghloob Shaha Nafs-e-BadKaar Nahin Hota

Go Lakh Karun Koshish Islaah Nahin Hoti
Pakizah Gunahon se Kirdaar Nahin Hota

Ae Rab Ke Habeeb Aao,Ae Mere Tabeeb Aao
Accha Ye Gunaahon Ka Bimar Nahin Hota!!

Everything has a reason,this post has also a reason.I have firm belief on ALLAH that,if not today that reason would read this post tomorrow.As per Hadees:One who doesn't thank people wouldn't thank lord! Hence I'm thankful to him,because of him I could come out of the darkness.Though those 15 hours were mahalle fitna but still changed my life.Those hours cleared all the doubts I had.My curiosity finally ended.The door opened for the first time and closed forever.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:"One who repented from sin, is as if he never committed sin".

I don't know weather we will meet again in this world,neither do I wish to meet him in this world again,but I would want to meet him there,on the day of judgment,inshahALLAH!

Jab Maraasim Hue Khatam,To Kuch Yun Hua Baaham Radd-e-Amal,
Wo Jis Qadar Kafir Hua,Main Us Qadar Musalmaan Hua!

Ji Mein Aata hai ki, Kuch Kahun Naasir!
Kya Khabar Sun ke, Kya kahe Koi!

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. ~Theodor Seuss Geisel

One more year ended~

Its 28th March 2011.I have completed one more year of life today.One more year has been subtracted from my life and I'm nearer to grave by one more year.

Where last year brought my life's happiest moments,at the same time it left me in deep pain. I completed my Dars-e-Nizami course and graduated as Fazil. Got admission to Mufti Course @ Idara-e-Shariah of Karnataka. Got khilfat of one the most prestigious & sacred silsila,Silsila-e-Aaliya Qadriya Barkatiya Razviya Nooria. Too young and too immature to handle these responsibilities.

I left the people with whom I worked for years,this was the most painful moment of my life.I knew something I would never wanted to know,this made me sad. My curiosity took me to a place where no body would want to go.I experienced something with made me sadder every passing day.

whatever it was..it was a year of mixed emotions. May ALLAH azzawajal make my coming year happier & joyful for this world and hereafter : Aameen

...

Last one month has bring such a turmoil in my life which shattered me from inside.The things which were left years back have haunted me again.Loved,betrayed,loved and cried.Cried while doing Wuzu to hide tears.Cried with the excuse of pain in legs.Cried and have been literally crying from past 1 month.Seen a different,weird,faith less black world of human life.

I don't know if I'll ever be able to forget that.

Ek Hangaama-e-Mahshar ho to usko Bhoolun
Saikdon baaton ka Rah rah kar Khayal aata hai

May RasoolALLAH sallallahuAlaihWassalam help me!

Sarguzasht-e-Gham Kahun, Kisse Tere Hotey Hue
Kiske Dar par Jaaun Tera Aastana Chhod Kar

May Ghous-e-Azam help me!

Ghous-e-Azam Madade,Be Saro Saman Madade
Qibla-e-Deen Madade,Kaba-e-Iman Madade

Quran:As for the blessing of your Lord,speak of- واما بنعمت ربك فحدث


It was night of 23rd RabiUn Noor(26 Feb 2011).One of the most beloved Khalifa of Huzur Mufti Aazam Hind AlaihRahmat,Hazrat Allama Maulana Abdul Hamid Palmar(South Africa) was in Bangalore after 3 long years.The host arranged a Mehfil-e-Na'at.

Hazrat Sahab is a graduate of Manzar-e-Islam,Barielly Shareef.He was taught by Mufti-e-Azam Hind and was present with him most of his life,including his last 40 days.He is the last person with whom Mufti-e-Azam Hind talked before his demise.He is called Bilal of Mufti-e-Azam Hind.He is the person who was among the people who gave the gusl to blessed body Mufti-e-Azam Hind and saw his karamat that while giving gusl,when a part of body of Mufti-e-Azam Hind was revieled,immediatly Mufti-e-Azam Hind covered that part.

My Dars-e-Nizami Ustad Mufti Muhammed Ali Sahab told me that when he was studying at Manzar-e-Islami Bareilly Shareef,Allama Abdul Hamid Palmar was the person who used to recite naats at almost all functions with Mufti Azam Hind.

Allama Abdul Hamid Palmar is among the senior Khulafa of Silsila-e-Aaliya Qadriya Razwiya Nooriya in South Africa.He is founder of Jamat Raza-e-Mustafa (South Africa)

At the start of Mehfil, Hazrat Sahab taught me last hadees of Bukhari Shareef.With this I have become grand student of Mufti-e-Aazam Hind and the number of people between me and Aalahazrat has reduced to only 2 people! alhumdulillahi ala zalika

Muhammed Kashif -> Allama Abdul Hamid Palmar ->Mufti-e-Azam Hind ->Sarkar-e-Aalahazrat.

The Ijaza is also linked to Hujjatul Islam Mufti Hamid Raza Khan,eldest son of Aalahazrat also,this Ijaza is quite rare.

Muhammed Kashif -> Allama Abdul Hamid Palmar -> Rehan-e-Millat Mufti Rehan Raza Khan -> Hujjatul Islam Mufti Hamid Raza Khan -> Aalahazrat Fazil-e-Barelvi

after Khatm-e-Bukhari,naats were read.Hazrat Sahab read Na'at of Huzur Mufti-e-Azam Hind and gave a powerful bayan on Maslak-e-Aalahazrat and to be loyal to it.

The mehfil was over by 12:30am.We couldnt meet Hazrat as the number of people meeting was vast.Finally around 2 am our turn came.Hazrat Sahab told me that he wants to give me an amanat from his peer and that is khilafat of Silsila-e-Aaliya Qadriya Barkatiya Razwiya Nooriya. I was shocked,I went down to his feet and told him i am not worthy of such an honor,but he insisted and said ALLAH azzawajal will take from you the work of Maslak-e-Aalahazrat. Hazrat Sahab took out his Khilafat letter and signed and gave it to me.Then he took both of my hands in his both hands and did duwa and made long mu'anqa.He was saying "I have given him in your custody Ya Shiekh Mustafa".He drank some water from the glass and asked me to drink the rest in three breathes.

I remember when I met him in afternoon he was talking with someone,as soon as he saw me he stood up and told me that how much he was happy seeing me after such a long time.He put 3 grapes into my mouth every time giving duwa 'May ALLAH increase your knowledge'.Then he took me to another room and told me that he wants to give me something which he got from his peer and after which he would be relieved.

The first one whom I showed the Ijaza was my teacher.Qazi Sahab when saw the khilafat certificate his eyes became wet,he stood up,kissed both my cheeks and forehead,gave lots of dua and told that the ijaza I have is better than his ijaza.He told me, now I have to take special care to maintain this amanat.

I know its a great honour and great responsibility and I am really not worthy of it.May ALLAH azzawajal make me a'hl of this amanat: Aameen

So what I'am doing these days????

Alhumdulillah,Ihya Academy which started its Basic Arabic Course in Oct 2010 has formally entered into 1st semester of Scholar course.

Its really an honor for me that ,I am, first time in my life is teaching core sacred texts of Hanafi fiqh like Quduri & Usool Ush-Shashi,alhumdulillah.Along with these I am also teaching Hidayatun Nahw,book on Arabic grammar.

Quduri is among the 4 most trusted texts of Hanafi Fiqh.Author of 'Misbahul Anwaar' wrote:Indeed hanafites used to take blessings by reading this book during calamities.And this is such a blessed book that who remembers it by heart will be protected from hunger.Is it even said that,whoever studies this book under a noble scholar and do dua at the end of book,will get number of dirhams as the number of mas'ala's written in the book.And it is said that there are 12000 mas'ala's written in Quduri!

Well I couldn't get 12000 dirhams, as though my teacher was noble,I could not complete the full book with him.I hope neither my students will get it as I am not noble!

Usool ush-Shashi,is one of the most famous book on Principals of Hanafi Fiqh in Indo-Pak.As this subject is quite difficult,when this text is directly taught,that too in Arabic, students usually find it very hard to understand the subject.Even I faced this,but alhumdulillah my teacher made sure that i understand every topic ,and this is due his teaching only,that most of the topics he taught years back,are still fresh in my mind.Hence,before starting the actual book we covered a book in Urdu on this subject,this made students get an overview of the subject and the topics we would be covering in actual book. I feel this would help them in understanding the subject better now.

Hidayatun Nahw,is one of the best Arabic grammar book included in almost all the madar'sas of Indo-Pak.It is said that whosoever completes this book cover to cover, would not require any other book in Nahw.We covered Persian book in Nahw called 'Nahw Meer' during basic grammar course,which made students remember the basic rules of Arabic grammar.This again helped in understanding Arabic text of Hidayatun Nahw easily.

Its really an honor to teach the sacred knowledge of Prophet everyday, for an hour.I have made a firm intention that,till rest of my life,I would continue teaching the sacred texts to students, inshahALLAH. Who knows this may lead to salvation of a sinner like me on judgment day.

The classes are held Mon-Fri,11:00pm to 12:00am.So Monday to Friday,after coming from office I sit down to read the chapter I need to teach that day.After classes, I start my study, mainly fatawa books.Saturday & Sunday are academy holiday.I complete my pending writing work of Mufti course and go to Idara-e-Shariat Darul Ifta,to get them corrected from Mufti Sahab.

Presently I'm working on English translation of Aalahazrat's book called 'Irfan-e-Shariat' ,which is collection of short questions & answers asked to Aalahazrat and his replies.The book has 3 parts, I am planning to complete the 1st part before Urs of Aalahazrat on 30th Jan 2011, inshahALLAH.Once this book is complete I would start with translation of 'Fatawa Africa' which is book on answers to the questions asked to Aalahazrat from Africa,inshahALLAH.

May we have a team of educated brothers who can fi-sabilillah carry out these types of literary work lacking in Ahle Sunnat.I have lots of hope on the students studying in Academy,I hope they would prove themselves to be real asset of AhleSunnat,inshahALLAH.

So,this is what I do these days and be preoccupied with.May ALLAH azzawajal give istiqamat to me:Aameen.
