Maulana Muhammad Ilyas (rah) Malfuzat compiled by Maulana Muhammad Manzoor Nuhmani (rah)
Published in Muslim Murasu, July 2013
People should take sufficient time out before coming to headquarters Hazrat Nizamuddin. They should come repeatedly. They should not stay here, but go and work in places around. When desire to return home arises, they should overcome it and continue their service here. It will fetch them huge rewards. It is akin to a warrior who marches ahead while his comrades around him are fleeing. His conviction will be highly regarded.
Tableeg work has its connection with afterlife. Ill-witted words and harsh comments should be tolerated. Rewards will be given in afterlife for the insults that were suffered.
One should meditate on how the missionary job is evolving and maturing. What are all the areas that can be newly penetrated. It is better to think on these lines in solitude. Trust should be on Allah and work should continue.
Serve people and earn their intimacy. Help them with the intention of bringing them into this mission. Have faith and ask Dua. Some people can be pulled in by this.
Tableeg works resemble meritorious Gaswaat in some dimensions. This is not a war, but part of the battle. Its glories are more in some ways and less in some ways.
Toiling for this mission in on par with Riyaazat (heavy indulgence in worship). People have not understood the merits of Tableeg.
Some people do not understand the importance of inviting people to righteousness. They focus on giving life to Masaail and some divine commands. Some people bring people out of bad traditions. Their service can be leveraged for the same. Shariat is largely not honored in property division. There are bad practices.
We should say to those explaining the intricacies of Shariat Masaail. You help us in our mission and we will help you in your struggle.
This will give them an opportunity to see the length and breadth of Tableeg works. They will see the result. Then they will show interest in Tableeg. Missionary work should be in mind even while going to a doctor for treatment. Let us call only those doctors on whom we can have some hope.
Mistakes by individuals can be generalized and indicated in public speeches. This was the way of Prophet. If addressed directly in person, then advice should be given with utmost tenderness and sincerity. One should wait for the appropriate time. Pointing mistake instantly will bring arguments and exchanges. There won’t be any use.

Allah's Rule Won't Change
Weekly Bayaan at Tableeghi Markaz, Tolichowki, Hyderabad
Published in Muslim Murasu, May 2013
Allah has no need from any created thing. Every activity depends on Him. He created the world from nothing.
Surah Muhammad, 47, verse 38 – ‘wallahul ganiyyu wa antumul fuqaraau’. ‘God is free of all wants, it is you that are needy’.
Every creation helps in fulfilling the needs of man. They serve him when he surrenders to God. Man should honor God’s Will. Otherwise creations will threaten him. Their fear will enter his hearts. Everything will be beneficial if you have fear of God. Otherwise they will trouble you.
Abdullah ibn Umar (rali) made a lion to escort him in a jungle. He had God’s fear in his heart. Lion did not scare him. Once he drove a lion away from a congregation of people. Sahabas had Allah’s fear, respect and majesty in their hearts. Everything served them. This is Allah’s Sunnat, practice. It will never change.
Surah Fath, 48, verse 23 – ‘walan tajida lisunnatillahi tabdeelaa’. You will not find any change in the practice of God.
Mountain, river and land obeyed the command of Umar (rali). River Nile once became dry. It started flowing again after Umar (rali) gave a command. Once earth trembled. He flogged it. Tremor stopped and loss was averted. Now our own children and siblings don’t heed our advice.
The Quran teaches us the way. Allah talks to us when we read the Quran.
Surah Yusuf, 12, verse 108 – ‘haazihi sabeeli adwoo ilallahi alaa baseeratin anaa wa manittaba’ani’. This is my way. I call unto God. We are on wisdom.
There are two words in Arabic to denote ‘way’ – Tareeq and Sabeel. The word ‘Sabeel’ is used in this verse.
The root word is ‘Sabal’. It refers to the rainwater from sky before it reaches land. It will be pure and fast. It gives life to earth. It will come straight without any diversion like a highway. It is the purest water after Zamzam water. Missionary workers should resemble rainwater. They should be fast in their mission, clean and pure from sins. Rain gives life to dead earth and brings forth vegetation. People will benefit. People’s conscience is dead. It will get life if Daawat (missionary) comes as rain.
The preaching by Ibrahim (alai) had remained in Mecca in some form. But people were dead to its message. Prophet did Daawat among them. Gems like Abubakr, Umar, Usman and Ali (rali) emerged from the same people. They became exemplary missionaries.
Blessings like Irfaan (enlightenment), Sabr (patience) will come from Daawat. Rain will bring rainbow and air will become cool. Daawat will bring guidance and color in the society.
When a brother asks his sister to bring some water, she will chide him. I am not your servant. But when the same girl grows and gives birth to a child, now she wakes all night long and takes care of her child. Love was incumbent in her heart. But it emanates only after pain. Missionary work appears painful for us. We are happy to discuss worldly affairs for hours together.
Prophet inspired missionary passion among his companions. They became ready for all sacrifices. They did not ask questions. Religion and striving are intertwined. We have forgotten toiling for the religion and on top of it we have become negligent of this loss of memory as well. A bird raised in a cage cannot fly long distance. We are hesitant to spend three days for religious cause. Another three days appear strenuous for us.
Sahabas will go out. Days will accumulate. They will return only when Prophet calls them back. Maulana Ilyas (rah) was deeply concerned. He did Daawat. Strength came from concern. He toiled day and night. Our intention is to bring back Islamic feeling among Muslims.

Every Member In The Society Is Responsible
Weekly speech at Tableeghi Markaz, Tolichowki, Hyderabad
Published in Muslim Murasu, April 2013
Man is sent to earth to know and learn about God. Preaching goodness and prohibiting evil will help him fulfill his purpose. Prophet is for all nations. Every member in the society is priceless. One can lead thousands to redemption. The mission of the prophets of earlier times is now in the hands of every member. This is the gift of our Prophet (s.aw.s). One section should call people towards God’s Rububiyat, Uluhiyat and Kibriyayi.
Sheykh of Khwaja Mohinudeen Chisthi (rah) once told his disciples. “Whoever prays Fajr Namaz tomorrow behind me will enter heaven”. He further warned his disciples not to tell this to anyone. But a huge crowd turned out the next morning for prayer. Sheykh inquired about who disclosed this message. Khwaja Mohinudeen admitted and expressed his wish that everyone should enter heaven.
His Sheykh felt happy and said, “Allah will do wonders through you. You have love for everyone”. A few years passed. When Chisthi travelled from Ajmer to Bangladesh, ninety thousand people joined him. People were attracted to him.
Tufail bin Amr Addawsi (rali) visited Mecca. People of Mecca warned him. “Plug cotton in your ears. We have a magician here. Whoever hears his words renounces his religion and joins him”. Prophet was praying near Kaba. Tufail thought to himself. “I am a leader of a community. I have knowledge and experience. Let him say his message, I will decide for myself”.
He followed Prophet to his house and asked him what he has got to say. God’s message seemed right to him and he accepted it. He returned to his home and made his wife and mother accept Islam. His community did not pay heed. He came to Prophet and requested him to curse them. Prophet prayed for their guidance. He returned and continued his preaching. Eighty tribes converted to Islam. Companions like Abu Huraira (rali) were among them.
Maulana Ilyas (rah) felt burned with the same concern ninety years ago. Now many people have joined this mission.
Today, man spends all his strength towards this perishable material world. Man is clay before his birth and will become clay again.
Khalid bin Walid (rali) returned from a battle taking war prisoners with him. He came to know of a bottle of poison with a prisoner. He learned that the plan is to kill oneself if caught. Khalid bin Walid opened the bottle and drank all the poison. He perspired a little. Poison did not kill him.
Prophet told: “Slave of the world has perished. Slave of Dinar has perished. Slave of Dirham has perished”. Halaak.
Surah Furqan, 25, verse 43 – ‘ara'aita manit takaza ilaahahu hawaahu’. He has taken his passion as his god.
Children use to blindfold their eyes and play in the street. They will dash with objects and other people. We are blindfolded with desire for this world. We clash with our brothers, other people, government and society. Restraint is needed in life. A horse can push down its rider if there are no reins. We will get clarity if we have control over our heart. It will make us understand about Allah, Rasoolullah, the Book and good character.
Surah Yusuf, 12, verse 108 ‘ haazihi sabeeli adwu ilallahi alaa baseeratin’. I call unto God will clear wisdom. It is not enough to just pray and fast. Religion won’t have complete effect on us. When Briyani is cooked in a house, smell spreads in the neighborhood and people will get tempted. Briyani cannot be cooked with single item. It needs a mix of composite recipe. People will be attracted if we follow religion completely.
When a person sets out for Haj and passes away in the way, Allah will raise him along with Haajis. If we live and die in the search of Imaan, Allah will raise us as Believers.
We should not renounce material world. It will create the illusion that I am god. We should not spend our lives in the dependence of materials. It is Shirk. Means and materials should be used, but trust should be on God. Such Imaan cannot come without pain. We should leave our homely luxuries and come out.

Tafseer That Was Revealed In Dream
Maulana Muhammad Ilyas (rah) Malfuzat compiled by Maulana Muhammad Manzoor Nuhmani (rah)
Published in Muslim Murasu, December 2012
Few minutes before Namaz (prayer) can be spent to concentrate and meditate (Muraqaba) about prayer. Prayer without mental preparation won’t have strength and grip. Sunnat, Nafl Namaz and Iqamat are in a way a preparation for Farz. We are not preparing for prayer. Consequently our Farz prayer has also become lax. Dua – ‘Allahumma inni asaluka tamaman ozhu watamamas salaati watamama rizwanika’.
In the initial days, Prophet himself went to people and proclaimed the message. He did not expect them to invite him. He sent his Sahabas to some places. Let us continue our Tableeg (missionary) work the same way. Let us voluntarily reach out to those who are away from religion and those who take the religion casually.
Maulana started panting. His health deteriorated and became weak. He said, “You have come to me late. I am unable to speak at length. Continue your works as instructed”. After every prayer, say Tasbeehe Fatima, third Kalima, say Durood Shareef seventy times in mornings and evenings, Istagfaar, Quran Kiraat and Tilawat, Tahajjud, have companionship with Ahle Zikr. Zikr without Ilm is Fitna and Ilm without Zikr is gloom.
Dream is fortieth part in Nubuwat. Some people will receive more progress through dream than by Riyazat (tough worship). Ilka will be received in dream. Tableeg method was revealed to me in dream. I understood Tafseer for the verse ‘kuntum khaira ummati ukrijat linnaas’ in dream.
It is job of prophets to enjoin goodness and forbid evil. ‘tuhminuna billah’. This will strengthen Imaan (faith). Condition is to enjoin goodness and forbid evil. That is the way to develop Imaan. Care for your own guidance more than you care for others. Muballig (preacher) will receive his rewards when he preaches, it is immaterial whether his audience accepted his message or not.
