WHO ARE HUMAN BEINGS?

One night Hadhrat Junaid Baghdaadi (rahmatullah alayh) saw in a dream that Shaitaan was strutting naked in the market place. Hadhrat Junaid said to Shaitaan: “O accursed one! Have you no shame? You strut about in nude in the presence of innumerable people.” Shaitaan replied: “O Hadhrat! Undoubtedly, I do have shame for human beings. But these beings are not human beings. In fact, they are worse than animals. Do you not remember the aayat of the Qur'aan? ‘They are like animals – in fact they are more astray (than animals).’ ” – Surah A’raaf, aayat 179.

THE DEPLORABLE STATE OF THE “RAMDHAANI HUFFAAZ” ADVICE AND WARNING

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

“The Bearer of the Qur’aan is the Standard Bearer of Islam.”

There are two kinds of Qur’aan Bearers—The Ulama and the Huffaaz. The Amaanat (Trust) of the Qur’aanic Text has been assigned to the Huffaaz. It is their obligation to zealously guard this Divine Text. But, today most of the huffaaz are treacherous abusers of this Amaanat. Besides the extreme deficiency of their Hifz, their moral condition is absolutely putrid and deplorable. Their character displays nothing of the Qur’aan.

When a Haafiz would visit Hadhrat Masihullah (Rahmatullah alayh), Hadhrat would ask: “Are you a Ramdhaani haafiz or a Haafizul Qur’aan?” Most of the huffaaz who lead Taraaweeh Salaat in the various Musaajid are Ramdhaani Huffaaz. They are not Haafizul Qur’aan.

HARAAM VOTING – HARAAM POLITICS

TO VOTE OR NOT TO VOTE?

QUESTION

Is it permissible for Muslims to vote in the elections? What does our Shariah say regarding this issue?

ANSWER

Elections and voting have become topical subjects for Muslims. The concern shown for voting and participation in the elections stems from great deficiency of Imaan. Even the molvis and sheikhs have lost their Islamic bearings. All are drifting rudderless in a quagmire of confusion, nafsaaniyat and shaitaaniyat on this issue.
