Maulana Khwaja Shareef speech, Shaikhul Hadith, Jamia Nizamia
Published in Muslim Murasu, March 2013
Prophet once found his companions talking about earlier Prophets in Masjide Nabawi. He expressed happiness and said, “Moosa is Kaleemullah. Ibrahim is Kaleelullah. Dawud is Kalifatullah. Isa is Roohullah. I am Habibullah”. This has two meanings. I love Allah and Allah loves me.
‘man ahabba shaiyan akshara zikrahu’. Whoever likes something will remember it more. Allah is very fond of Prophet. He establishes this in the entire world. Rasoolullah’s remembrance is pervasive, continual and eternal. This is God’s Attribute. He honors His beloved. This happens day and night without any break.
Surah Ahzaab, 33, verse 56 – ‘innallaha wa malaikatahu yusalluna alannabiyyi’. Allah and angels send Salaat on Prophet. All commentators confirm that ‘Salaat’ means to proclaim Prophet’s greatness. Inventing new meaning is not possible. Every atom in sky and earth takes part in this. Reason is that he is Allah’s Habeeb. He is Habeeb for everyone.
Surah Anbiya, 21, verse 107 – ‘wa maa arsalnaaka illa rahmatan lil aalameen’. He is mercy for the entire universe. Nothing can exist without mercy. Prophet is manifestation of God’s Mercy. Quran and Hadith say Prophet’s greatness in excess. ‘Yusalluna’ means God and angels, alike, say this continuously. The job that an angel is assigned to will not stop him from saying Salaat. Israel (alai) will take soul while also saying Salaat. One job will not stop the other. Ruhul Maani, a popular Tafseer, explains this. Saying Salaat is one of Allah’s Attributes. Believers of God have been obligated to do this. Prophet is devoid of any shortcoming. Tasleema. This is the additional obligation. Prophet’s glory is accepted even by the deniers of truth. Christians and Jews have written in their books. Believers are commanded to accept that Prophet has no weakness. Allah has no weakness. Prophet has no weakness. But he is not God. Allah has made him without any defect.

Sixteen Stitches In Caliph Umar's Garment
Weekly speech at Tableeghi Markaz, Tolichowki, Hyderabad
Published in Muslim Murasu, February 2013
Man is formed when two drops meet. A long history goes before this. Blood cannot be made in laboratories. Man is spread in wind, land and water before his birth.
Allah gathered all Rooh (soul) from first person to last person. This included Prophets, Auliyas and everyone else. Allah asked. Surah Ahraf, 7, verse 172 – ‘alastu birabbikum’. Am I not your Lord. ‘qaalu balaa. Shahidnaa’. Yes You are, we do testify. That day we did not have face, body or shape. Seeing and hearing are properties of Rooh. We heard and answered.
The knowledge that Prophet (sal) brought is related to this. We cannot realize it through research or rationality. People rejecting Allah are misleading others. They believe only what they can see. There is no soul in the knowledge that man emphasizes. Kabr (graveyard) can either be a chamber of hell or a garden of heaven. But if we dig, we cannot feel the heat of hell or the fragrance of heaven.
The things that Prophet revealed belong to another world. Doing Amal (good deeds) will not be easy unless we bring faith on unseen things. Imaan bil gaib. A shopkeeper will receive a customer pleasingly only if he believes he will buy something worthy. Window shoppers will not be taken seriously.
Missionary work will strengthen our faith. People believing Mushahida, things that are visible, are away from Imaan. People will be standing around when a person dies. But no one can see angels or the soul departing. Our struggle is between what we see and what we are told. Everyone on the earth are blind. Only Prophet saw angels, Shaitan and hidden things. It is not wrong to be a blind. But wallowing and persisting in blindness is wrong.
Quran starts with aleef, laam, meem. Set aside your knowledge and experiences. Then you can understand this Book. A person often coming to mosque is a Moomin. Prayer is evidence that he surrenders to God. Companions of Prophet were very average people. But they were transformed to rule the world. Once Caesar shuddered on hearing the name of Umar (rali). Abu Huraira (rali) narrates: ‘Umar was giving Kutba. I saw sixteen stitches in his dress’.
Safina was a companion of Prophet. ‘Safina’ means ship. He was once carrying the luggage of all parties in the caravan. Prophet felt happy about him and called him ‘Safina’. We should follow this guidance and help our fellow travelers.
There is a Hadees in Mishkat Shareef. Safina once got lost from the caravan. He was alone and faced a lion. He became happy that he has received Allah’s help. “I belong to Prophet’s Ummat. I am lost from my companions”. Lion showed him the way. He rejoined his companions.
Islam did not spread through political might. Prayer and fasting cannot be brought under political power. Politics will not give the power of Imaan. Go to every house and proclaim Allah’s praise.
Surah Muddashir, 74, verses 1 to 3 – ‘ya ayyuhal muddashir kum fanzir wa rabbaka fakabbir’. Praise your Lord. See the message given to Prophet. Work among men in the daytime and indulge in prayer at night. Surah Muzammil, 73, verses 1 and 2 – ‘ya ayyuhal muzammil qumillaila illa kaleelan’. Stand for prayer at night. Reaching people and proclaiming the message is only vessel. Soul in that vessel is Tahajjad prayer. Prophet used to pray Tahajjad at night.
Surah Muhammad, 47, verse 7 – ‘in tansurullaha yansurkum wa yushabbit akdaamakum’. If you aid Allah, He will aid you and plant your feet firmly. Surah Ala Imran, 3, verse 160 – ‘in yansurkumullahu falaa gaalibalakum’. None can overcome you if God helps you. This is Allah’s promise.

Power Will Keep Changing Hands
Maulana Wahiduddin Khan speech
Published in Muslim Murasu, February 2013
Allah has disclosed the secret of life. There were two creations before Adam (alai). They were Jinns and angels. Man was made vicegerent. He was given political power. Iblis, the leader of Jinns, challenged this decision. Angels raised doubts. Angels reassessed their position, made corrections and were saved. Iblis failed to accept his mistake. He was cursed and removed from the Grace of God.
This is the secret of life. Agree completely to Allah’s plan and scheme. Otherwise you will be at loss.
Supremacy will keep changing. Someone will be enjoying authority for some years, then someone else will replace. This is not only in politics. We should comply with Allah’s scheme in every moment in life. Otherwise we will end up rebelling. One option is possible, another is impossible. Angels agreed to what is possible and succeeded. Iblis chose impossible option and failed.
Two options are given in every sphere of life, be it family life, national outlook, social activities or international problems. One is to agree with God’s plan, another is to challenge and rebel.
From 1952, governments have been rotating in Egypt. Politics will not give complete control. People coming to power seek to extend their authority. Rulers continuously created legislation unilaterally. Everyone was overwhelmed by opposition. Sixty years have passed. Farooq, Najeeb, Naser, Hosni Mubarak, Anwar Saadat, Muhammad Basheer, again new opposition has come. Everyone ascended the throne in the name of Islam and imposed laws on people.
Full control will not be given by entering politics. Fake Islam has been implemented for sixty years. Good things can be done with the limited power available. But they expect complete authority. I should get everything. This was the desire of Iblis. If he had accepted the position of Adam (alai), he would have got his chances.
Some power will be given to you, some to others. This is the model. King addressed Prophet Yusuf (alai) and told, ‘I will be supreme power. You can have other controls’. Yusuf (alai) became the minister for agriculture. Surah Yusuf, 12, verse 76. ‘deenul malik’. ‘kazayinul arl’. Political power should not flow into every domain. It should be restricted. Bible quotes Isa (alai): give to Caesar what is due to Caesar, give to God what is due to God.
Political power belongs to the ruler. Other domains are for the people. Rulers should not interfere in media, education, missionary works and industries. Government is called as ‘Administration’ in America. This is the perfect terminology.
When Prophet (sal) entered Medina along with Abubakkar (rali), people welcomed them saying, “You are our ruler”. A new kingdom blossomed in Medina and extended outwards. ‘Sayeefatul Medina’ declaration was announced. Muslims and Jews can follow their religions. Prophet will be the political head. Everyone will be given religious freedom. Claiming absolute authority is against God’s plan. This will only create conflict and tension and that will escalate up to suicide killings.
Take lessons from the revolution in Europe. Kings were supreme powers. They did not encourage scientific advancements. Scientists were murdered. People discussed and brought forward democracy. Some consider democracy as anti-Islamic. This is wrong. Surah Ala Imran, 3, verse 140 – ‘wa tilkal ayyaamu nudaawiluhaa bainannaas’. We bring time to men by turns.
Election should be conducted with full freedom. People should elect their rulers. Democracy is the best available solution for us. Ruler will not be given complete power in democracy. There will be restraints. This is completely in tune with God’s plan. But Muslims are opposing. Democracy is missing in Muslim nations. They have not understood it. Authoritarianism is allowed. In some nations, democracy exists only for namesake. But many groups keep waging clashes and conflicts. Some should get political power, others should be free to operate in other fields. Democracy will succeed if this is agreed. Democracy has not succeeded in Pakistan and Egypt. People are failing to understand.

Is Double Education Needed
Muslim Murasu, February 2013
Muslims do not seem to let go of two proud things. They flaunt about them in speeches and books. 1. Opposing western education 2. Pioneering scientific works.
Even in the initial days of freedom struggle, Indian Muslims staunchly opposed Western Christian dress, language, governance, music, culture and education. They were rewarded with imprisonment and loss of life and property. All scientific advancements are found mentioned in Quran. Good followers have fared as exemplary medical practitioners, administrators, judges and military commanders.
London Christians ruled the earth for three hundred years as an interlude in the vast human history. They conquered India too. British had a good life looting India's rich wealth and levying huge taxes. Indian upper class compromised with British and in turn took advantage in every field. They reared education and employment sector catering to their own needs. Luxurious life became their birth right. Their domination still continues.
Muslim community was divided between materialistic education and Akhirat education. Those coming out of religious education took refuge in religious institutions like mosques and seminaries. Eight hundred institutions in Tamilnadu impart secular education to Muslims. This includes thirty six arts colleges and eleven engineering colleges.
Some graduates coming out of common education also serve in religious preaching. In this background, religious heads also vie for degrees like M.A and Ph.D. Religious education alone won’t feed us. University degree is needed for basic necessities. They attach university degrees to their religious titles. This will spoil and ruin both the fields.
Primary objective in religious preaching is to guide humanity. It is the responsibility of a religionist to fight against drinking, murder, sexual violence, prostitution, dowry, greed and selfishness. Preaching can be made to shine through simple, stoic life, sacrifice, dedication and courage. The nation is kept slave to western Christian practices and the domination of Indian upper class higher caste people. People with the strength of soul and faith can give guidance. The movement and introduction of double experts will not benefit Muslim community.

Concerted Effort From Writers
Muslim Murasu, February 2013
Writers who can fill ten pages and post them to magazines have increased in Tamilnadu. Prophet had the quality to speak clearly and concisely. God had bestowed this special quality on him.
Reader should understand and most importantly react. Information disseminated from sixty five private news telecasts are reaching every household. Muslim readers are also audience to fifty two weekly speeches. They are privileged participants of Juma prayer. Kitaab Taaleem is given in mosques every morning.
In this situation, telling a new message, finding a new perspective or interpretation is a niche quality. Writing one page is very difficult, anything more is impossible. Only those with less affection towards business, family and money can become exemplary writers.
Interested writers can come together, discuss and develop a new magazine. A functioning magazine should not be preyed upon. Pages should not be filled casually. This is a disastrous thing. Baitul-Maal money is getting ruined. Betrayal of community’s trust will not be forgiven.
People with twenty lakh rupees worth property, house, land or goods shall allot one percent, twenty thousand rupees, for journalistic mission. Those with a monthly income of one lakh rupees can donate one percent, thousand rupees, for journalism.
Minimum annual expenditure for running a magazine is six lakh rupees. A single person should not be left to bear everything. Burden should be shared among writers and patrons. Islamic journalism cannot give revenue. There will be no gain or profit. People with the strength of penance can run magazine. Money and funds will have to rained for magazine, articles and creations. There is no other option. There are black money sharks in Muslim community. They can silently gift a considerable amount. Those bequeathed with ancestral property can donate ten percent for magazine. Only concerted effort can lift journalism. Journalism takes care of protecting unique characteristics and Shariat of Muslims, producing new writers and guarding the esteem of the community. Purity of intention and donation will protect journalism. New responsibility is awaiting writers.

Missing Guidance On Talaaq
Muslim Murasu, February 2013
Analyses on divorce and polygamy keep getting published on English and Tamil media. As usual, religious leadership do not care, analyze or react.
Healthy development of opinion is not welcome in Muslim community. One can select either rejection or complete surrender; recklessness or fake sanctity. Talaaq is casually declared. Muslim magazines publish articles on Talaaq and sexual indiscipline. Muslim religious leadership is hesitating to publish accurate, updated details. Alarm bells and sounds of haplessness are heard.
First condition in Islamic marriage is good character. Mohallas are breaking. Urbanization is sixty percent. Muslim men and women, without options, are moving out of their native in search of their needs. There are no means to check and ascertain character, to get to know or recommend personally. Fifty thousand rupees is the monthly expenditure. Women education and working has become a necessity. Share autos and crowded buses clearly show the tragedy. Glamor dress costs three thousand rupees. Pretentious covering of face is puzzling.
Muslim community is dividing into two. Religious leadership thrusting religion stands on one side. Patrons and people serving are on the other side. Marriage presided by Jamaat and Talaaq in front of Jamaat; Minimum number and competency of ‘Jamaat’ are not clear. Self-styled Jamaat, self-styled religionist, self-styled administration and practices are spreading.
Muslim population in Tamilnadu is six percent. Each Muslim is surrounded by seventeen Hindus. Practices in Hindu community are guiding Muslim community. One man-one wife, small, nuclear family, women earning are examples. Honest details on Talaaq, remarriage, widow protection should be announced in Friday speeches. Otherwise there won’t be a solution. Police is a rotting piece of flesh. One can’t get justice without spending money. Four crore cases are pending in courts. Waiting period can be twenty years.
Future of Muslim woman is caught in a difficult situation. Shariat provides a good protecting mechanism. Compulsions of life should be taken into account. Religious leadership need not bury its face in earth. Community is left without any help.

Milad For Social Development
Muslim Murasu, February 2013
The high-handedness of Wahabi, Tawheed, Islamic puritans was not so visible this year. The fervor in Milad celebrations resembled that which existed 30 years earlier. Religionists thrust apt messages through evening and night speeches spread over twelve days.
The intention of these celebrations is to strengthen the religion and establish its rituals. The speeches shall support Muslims in matters related to their food, house, employment and economic growth. Quran’s splendor and Prophet’s holiness is being lavishly praised. Contemporary comparison is necessary.
Privatization was introduced in India in 1980s. Every caste and religious group are availing the opportunity and rising to a better standard of life. Religious preacher should provide guarantee to Muslims for their honor,esteem, independence and self-respect. Speaker should not hide behind Prophet’s holiness. The tragedies in the Mohalla, his contribution and self example should come out in the speech. This is the real religious mission and propaganda. Speaker should not stand above the sky and serve stories. Imaginary explanations help none.
Muslims in Tamilnadu are divided in two categories. 1. Muslim oriented economy. 2. Life dependent on Hindu community.
One group of Muslims work for mosque or seminary, Muslim missionary organizations, Muslim commercial enterprise or Muslim educational institutions. Their owners are Muslims. Another group get paid from government offices, secular educational institutes, banks, enterprises and such establishments. Their lives are at the mercy of Hindu owners.
Twenty percent Muslims live with Muslim Rizk (sustenance). Eighty percent Muslims are dependent on Hindu Rizk. Preaching should address both the groups. An obtuse message, a make-believe, imaginary life is heard from mosques. The life that extends outside mosque, trials faced by a Muslim individual, his challenges, struggles and hardships can give lessons on reality.
Practical speeches will certainly be beneficial.
