Maulana Muhammad Ilyas (rah) Malfuzat compiled by Maulana Muhammad Manzoor Nuhmani (rah)
Published in Muslim Murasu, June 2013
There is still time left to do our works. Two huge challenges will emerge in near future. 1. Tableegh of Kufr, tide of faithlessness 2. Atheism in the garb of western ways and politics. We should prepare before the deluge.
We propagate Taleem and Tarbiyath (values and discipline) through our mission. This was the method during Prophet’s time. The need for books, compilations and commentaries came with the passage of time. People started believing them too much. They lost Prophet’s method. Taleem and Tarbiyath can be given on a wide scale only with our method. There is no other way.
Whenever I go to Mewat, I take with me Ahle Khair and Ahle Zikr. Inspite of that, my heart swerves due to the influence of my friends. Ihtikaaf is needed to purify it. Spending quality time with Jamaat from Saharanpur or Raipur brings heart back to its good state. People involving in Gasht, Chillat, Firrat (rounds for missionary work) should clean their hearts with Zikr and Fikr in solitude.
People involved in Tableeg should go as three groups with three objectives:
1. Serve Ulama and Saliheen and learn from them.
2. Propagate religion to the lower ones and make themselves complete.
3. Go to different people to acquire and grasp different skills and specialties.
Maulana prayed to Allah. Unbelievers are Your servants. Make us be kind and soft to them. We should help in their needs. But, at the same time, we should despise their faithlessness.
Steps should be taken to involve Ulama and Saliheen in our mission by addressing their doubts or concerns. We should assist and serve them with the intention to advance the religious cause.
We should respect even weak Muslims. They are our religious brothers. Perhaps, we are also a reason for the Fisq (sins) in their hearts. Our carelessness can be a reason.
Our movement is to bring Imaan (faith). Other movements take faith as a given and build their activities and goals on top of it. Our vision is to inculcate faith in the hearts. This is the foremost need of the Ummat. This is our concern. Disease is hidden in the hearts. People don’t have the quest for the religion. They are unaware of its importance and merit. If we make them realize the place of the religion, then we can bring back a verdant spiritual atmosphere.
Our intention is to trigger quest and passion for the religion. We should not stop with teaching Kalima and Salaat. It is important to come out of the house as a Jamaat for this purpose. This will get us rid of our old attachments. Participating in a new, active group will bring religion alive in front of the eyes and create an affinity for the religion.
Bearing with the troubles, travails and travesties coming in our way with perseverance will turn Allah’s blessings towards us. Surah Ankaboot, 29, verse 69 – ‘wallazeena jaahadoo feenaa lanahdiyannahum subulanaa’. We will show Our Ways to those who strive. Benefit will last if the journey lasts.

Circumstances Will Be Threatening
Speech at Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin Banglawali Masjid
Published in Muslim Murasu, October 2012
Two types of calls have always been given among human society.
One argument is that money, material, forms, gold and silver make everything happen.
Allah conducts everything. Power, capacity, wealth are immaterial. This is another call.
Prophets have declared that Allah operates everything. Efforts can be spent in two ways. One is to acquire material. Full world is busy worrying about price rises. Another kind of effort is to accept God and succeed in it.
Yusuf (alai) moved to a new nation and there he rose to a high status. He preached in prison. People coming to this mosque should listen to our message. This was the desire of Maulana Ilyaas (rah). Yusuf (alai) was a good Dayi (missionary). He was from the lineage of Prophets. But still he put his efforts for preaching. He put all his efforts in a different nation speaking different language. Surah Yusuf records the trials and tribulations that he went through, his perseverance and the success he attained.
Prophet Yusuf worked alone. He became minister and attained an important position in the administration. His family also joined him. But when their people deviated from Allah’s path, Allah thrust a brutal ruler on them. It is not enough to be descendants of Prophets. Imaan (faith) is necessary. Otherwise Firaun will emerge. Right is his who owns the stick. Allah’s method is to impose cruel ruler on iniquitous people. But a missionary worker can’t be killed even if a ruler wants. Moosa (alai) history is an example. Forms and appearances cultivate fear in men. Moosa (alai) prayed to Allah to send his brother Haroon for his assistance. Surah Taha, 20, verses 29, 30 – ‘wajalli vaziran min ahli haruna akhi’. Assist me with Haroon. Verse 45 – ‘innanaa nakhafu anyafruta alaina aw anyatga’. ‘We fear that Firaun will transgress’. Shaitan will threaten man with poverty and push him towards evil. Surah 2, Baqarah, verse 268 – ‘asshaitanu yaidukumul fakra wa yahmurukum bil fahshaa’. This income is not enough. He will urge to earn more and lure men towards bribe, robbery and usury. He will scare with inflation and scarcity. Allah has no difficulty in providing food, water, facilities or protection. Peace cannot be brought with human efforts.
Every man desires protection for his life, his belongings and his honor. Hindu, Muslim, everybody seeks these three securities. Human capability and techniques cannot guarantee them. Imaan (faith) is the solution. Money will be protected when Faith prevails. If Faith is lacking, humanity and good qualities will be thrown to the wind. Man works for facilities. Daily wager and entrepreneur seek alike. It is human nature to take fear from the form of opponent. Allah says not to fear. Verse 46 – ‘qaala laa takaafa innani ma’akuma’. Allah is with us. There is strength in His commands. Moosa (alai) delivered two messages to Firaun.
1. Release enslaved people. 2. Believe in God who is mightier than you.
Imaan will bring fraternal and peaceful situation. Good surrounding is needed for Imaan. 3 days, 10 days, 40 days should be spent away from business, house and relations.
Daawath ( missionary work) is to fight with situation. Money is needed to build mosque; money is needed for maintenance; build shops and earn from lease. Ibrahim, Ismail and Hajira put their hands together and built Allah’s House. They did not collect funds. Masjide Nabavi was built the same way without any fund collection. There was no big expenditure. Efforts from people are needed to build mosque. Ayisha (rali) had to borrow oil to light candle in Prophet’s house. This mosque did not have electricity for many years. People offering prayer will be sweating.

Prophet's Invitation To Hinda To Accept Islam
Weekly Speech at Tablighi Markaz, Tolichowki, Hyderabad
Published in Muslim Murasu, September 2012
Dawath is powerful. It acquires the strength to annihilate falsehood in each era. Surah AlaImran, 3, verse 160 – Inyansurukumullahu falaa gaalibalakum. If you help in Allah’s cause, no one can overcome you. None can get stronger than missionary workers. They will have upper hand. Sahabas were less in number and weak in force. They succeeded in Badr, Uhud and Kandaq battles. They defeated empires. They were once fled away from their homes and city with nothing. Prophet induced fraternal feeling among them. People who were once outcast later conquered the world. Victory came to their feet. Brotherhood is a facet of Imaan. People of Medina showed love and friendship and shared their wealth and belongings. Sahabas from Mecca gave their hard work and fared as merchants and labors. Nowadays it looks difficult to care even for blood brothers. Hosting for a lunch or dinner looks arduous. Own children appear as burden. Life has become selfish and self-centered. Full life revolves around frenzy over uniform, shoes and books. Sahabas were ready to host and feed entire Ummat.
They spent and spent and got more and more prosperous. We save money desperately and remain poor and needy. A Hadees says that man becomes miser and coward when he acquires material wealth. If you understand God’s glory, spend your life for His religion. ‘wa maa qadarullaha hakka qadrihi’. Surah Zumar, 39, verse 67. ‘They don’t understand God’s greatness as is due to Him’. He can take the entire world in His hand. Man always needs God’s help. Man does not see; God makes him see. Man does not hear; God makes him hear. Man will understand this while losing his faculties in deathbed. He will lose sight and hearing. Each talent is given by God. Man has to give account for everything, even for the food that he got after severe starving. Fatima (rali) was famished. Didn’t Prophet have the ability or talent to feed her. Prophet used all his abilities for Ummat. He sacrificed himself and his family. This is difference between Nubuwath and Huqumat. Huqumat means to delegate pains to others and take gains for oneself; it is to praise or protest, all for selfish motives. Nubuwat means complete sacrifice. ‘Summa latasalunna yawmaizin anil naeem’. Surah Takashur, 102, verse 8. Man has to answer for each blessing he receives. Every talent will be accounted for. We use all our abilities for luxurious houses, marriage lavishes and hoarding wealth. ‘haza min fazli rabbi’. We will know whether it is Allah’s grace or wrath only on judgment day. Islam permits only needful spending. Extravagance is prohibited. Prophet said after Uhud battle that other communities will leap on the dignity of Muslims like dogs go after bones. Muslims will be huge in number but weakened because of their love for material world and fear of death.
Deen Dawath (missionary work) will bring an amicable atmosphere. Life will thrive. Five times prayer call a day should imprint God’s glory in our hearts. Man is dependent on Allah for everything. Our society is totally stuck and lost if one server goes down. This cannot be held as growth. Growth was evident in lives of Sahabas. They had Ruhaani growth, Amal growth and Imaan growth. Once earth shook when Umar (rali) was the ruler. He whipped the land with his lash and told, ‘We are living here as Allah’s servants’. Tremor stopped immediately. Umar (rali) gave a heads-up call to Zariya (rali) who was battling hundreds of miles away. These historic incidents show the strength of Imaan. When Rasoolullah set out on Hijrat, he recited a verse from Surah Yasin and sprinkled sand on unbelievers. Unbelievers fell into a slumber. ‘waja alna mimbaini aydihim saddan wamin kalfihim saddan fa agshainahum wahum la yubsirun’. Surah Yasin, verse 9. ‘We have covered them. They can’t see’. In another verse Allah says ‘wama ramaita iz ramaita walaakinnallaha rama’. Surah Anfal, 8, verse 17. ‘You did not throw. Allah threw’.
When a man devotes himself to Allah, Allah will take care of all his affairs. This mercy is not limited to Prophet. This will be extended till the last day. What is needed is anguish and anxiety for full Ummat. Each person should be saved from hell. Hinda was staying in Mecca when Mecca was conquered. She was the one who killed Prophet’s uncle Hamza (rali). Prophet prayed to Allah to give guidance for Hinda. Hinda sent him a message that she is also willing to embrace Islam, but a verse in Quran is making her hesitate. Surah Furqan, 25, verse 68 – ‘wallazina la yadwuna mahallahi ilaahan aakhara vala yaktulunannafsallati harramallahu illa bil haqqi vala yaznun’. Those who committed Shirk, murder or prostitution will be severely punished. Prophet regretted and prayed more for her guidance. Another verse was sent down. Verse 70 – illa man taaba wa aamana wa amila amalan salihan faulaika yu baddilullahu saiyiaatihim hasana’. For those who believe and do good deeds, Allah will turn their sins into good deeds. Prophet conveyed this good new to Hinda. She expressed her doubt if she will be able to do any good deed. ‘Will I get opportunity to do good things. I have not done anything good so far’. Prophet continued praying for her. Another verse descended. Surah Nisa, 4, verse 48 – ‘wa yagfiru maaduna zalika limanyashau’. He will forgive whom He pleaseth. Hinda again contradicted saying that she is not sure if Allah will wish to forgive her. ‘Will I be forgiven’. Prophet again prayed for her. Another verse came. Surah Zumar, 39, verse 53 – ‘ya ibadillazina asrafu alaa anfusihim laa taknatu min rahmatillahi innallaha yagfiru zunooba jamia’. ‘Don’t despair. Allah will forgive all sins’. Finally this was felicitation for Hinda. She accepted the good message. She came to Prophet and embraced Islam. Prophet asked her about killing Hamza. She narrated the incident. Prophet request her not to appear in front of him, because she reminded him of Hamza. Prophet told that this is not out of anger. Hinda relocated to Sham. She came to Medina after Prophet passed away. Muslima bin Kazzab waged war on Medina with an army of 70000 soldiers. Abubakkar (rali) was Kalipha. 400 Sahabas who were Quran Hafiz were slain in this war. Khalid bin Walid (rali) led Muslim army. Hinda killed Muslima bin Kazzab who claimed as a prophet. Hinda thanked Allah for giving her this opportunity. Are we concerned atleast about Imaan in our families ?
