In this very India, the pride and the life of the Ahle Sunnat Wa Jamna’at, Hazrat Saiyyid Mu'eenud-deen Hasan Chishti Ajmeri Khawajah Gareeb Nawaaz (Radiyal Laahu 'Anhu), was alone when he came but, see, when he departed from this world he had converted 9 1/2 million polytheists to Islam through his preaching and his services to Been.
Had there been someone from us Ahle Sunnat Wa Jamna’at (Sunnees) present at the above-mentioned international gathering, then see a glimpse of his preaching and then decide.
That Sun-nee Musalmaan, a slave and a lover of the Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi A Sallam), would address the gathering thus:
"I am a Musalmaan and it is our faith that Almighty Al-Laah is our True Deity who is the Creator and Owner of everything. He created Hazrat 'Ieesaa and Hazrat Moosa (Alaihim-us-Salaam) and also Ram of the Hindus. We believe in Hazrat 'Ieesaa of the Christians and also in Hazrat Moosa of the Jews and also acknowledge their excellence because Prophethood and other excellences which our Rabb had bestowed on them were for the sake of our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam).
"Our Rabb has Himself said that if He had not created our Prophet, he would not have manifested Himself. Therefore, the entire universe and all its blessings are by way of favours to our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam).
"Our holy Prophet's blessed name is Muhammad (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) after hearing which we kiss it with our lips (as a mark of love) and put it to our eyes (as a mark of respect), and we send peace and salutatatins to him. This name (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) means a personality who has been most praised. Our Rabb has given this name; this name tells us that the personality bearing this name is praiseworthy every way. Even the Creator of our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) praises the Prophet: even he who praises the Prophet is himself raised to the level of being praiseworthy and our Rabb praises him. Our Prophet has been praised by Hazrat Moosa and Hazrat 'Ieesaa; the Tauraat and the Evangel mention our Prophet and the Books that descended upon them also mention about his excellences. Hazrat Moosa and Hazrat 'Ieesaa came with miracles, our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) came as a miracle personified.
"Al-Laah Almighty had blessed Hazrat Moosa and Hazrat 'Ieesaa with great favours; Hazrat Moosa ('Alaihis-Salaam) would go to the Mount Toor and talk to our Rabb; Hazrat 'Ieesaa ('Alaihis-Salaam) was raised by our Rabb to the heavens alive; and our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) was called with his blessed body to His Highest Throne and given an audience with Him who also sent salutations to him and talked with him; the angel who used to come to Hazrat Moosa and Hazrat 'Ieesaa ('Alaihimus Salaam) had also come to our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and brought to our Prophet Al-Laah's latest code of life which is to be the source of all admonition to man until the end of this world; the original Tauraat and Evangel are not extant today, nor is there anybody who has memorised them; on the other hand, the Qur'aan is preserved and will always remain so, word for word and wovel point for wovel point, and then there are millions of those who have memorised it.
"In this Qur'aan, which descended upon our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam), idol-worshipping has been forbidden because whosoever worships anyone else besides Al-Laah is a polytheist, for such idols carved by man can be of no benefit or harm to him, to the extent that they cannot drive away even a fly which would sit on them; on the other hand, an ordinary man who carves an idol has much more power and authority.
"The Hindus worship idols, and hold them to be the equals of AL-Laah. Our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) bowed those who bowed before thousands of false diets to the Truly Worshipful Al-Laah, who is the Originator of the earth and the sky, who is the Creator of life and death, who has made the entire universe, who makes the sun rise in the east and set in the west, who has given us the body and the soul, the wisdom and the consciousness and made man the best of creations and the mirror to Eternal Beauty. It is He who sent Prophets so that they might teach us knowledge and wisdom, teach us and train us and impart meaningfulness and usefulness to our lives.
"Al-Laah Almighty has sent nearly 124 thousand Prophets, 313 of them being Messengers, and has given some of them preference over others and given them special characteristics as no other creations have been given. It is He who made our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) the most excellent and the most perfect of all men. No one of the creations has been given the rank and status and special traits that had been given to him (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam). Nobody equals him (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) in knowledge and grace, in affability and graciousness, in munificence and generosity, in mercy and helpfulness, in life and manners, in speech and character, in behavior and habits.
"Of course, he came in the form of man but there is no man who is his equal in the whole universe. He is the light of Al-Laah; he is the best-loved bondsman of Al-Laah; he is Al-Laah's best Prophet and Messenger (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam). Our Rabb loves him so much that although He is his Creator and his Deity He speaks in glowing terms of this bondsman of His, remembers him with love and respect, sends Durood (Salutations) and Salaam (Peace) upon him. Our Rabb swears with love by his life, his speech, his city and his age, calls love of him as love for Himself, and obedience to him as obedience to Himself.
"The person and the attributes of our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) are a mirror to the greatness and attributes of Almighty AL-Laah. Al-Laah had sent him as a radiant proof so that all creations should know and realise how great would be He whose bondsman would be so great. Our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) is proof of the truth and the greatness of our Rabb. Our Rabb has called love of him and the act of following him as the means for the attainment Of His approval and of our own success.
"Our Rabb has enjoined upon us respect and veneration of this very Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) of His. Our Rabb has called the sending of this Prophet of ours (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) as His greatest bounty upon man, because our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) is the very cause of the creation of the whole universe, of the earth and of the sky, and it is because of him that all the creations have become aware of Al-Laah's greatness and identity. Our Rabb has created the Paradise of ease and comfort for the slaves and followers of His Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam), and created the Hell of misery and torture for those who are his enemies, or deny him, or are insolent to him. The world becomes a slave to him who becomes a true slave to this Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and AL-Laah's mercies turn away from him who turns away from this Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam).
"This gathering has been told by the followers of Hinduism that their Ramchandarji was a very excellent person and so strong that he bent and broke a strong iron bow with his own hands. Of course, he would have done so, but then this is an excellence, which is not impossible of being attained by other men. There is thousands of strongmen in the world and they are strong indeed and they have demonstrated many a feat of strength. Breaking a strong iron bow is not at all such a great feat. See the excellence of our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam). Standing on the soil of Makkah Mukar-ramah, he merely pointed out his finger at the moon resplendent at a great height and the moon split into two; on the way to the Khyber Fort, at a place called the valley of Sahbah, our holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) made the sun to retrace its movements by pointing a finger at it. The Ram of the Hindus broke the iron bow and this is a feat, which can be performed by anybody. But splitting the moon into two and then to rejoin it, and to bring back the sun which had already set were the great feats demonstrated by our Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) alone. Such feats could not be performed jointly by all the Hindus and all their false deities!
"Addressing this very crowd while preaching his religion, the Christian claimed that Hazrat 'Ieesaa ('Alaihis-Salaam) was most excellent. Of course he was excellent. All that the Christian narrated about his excellences is correct. His excellences are recounted by our Rabb's Book, the Holy Qur'aan, and we accept them. The Christian has said that Hazrat 'Ieesaa ('Alaihis-Salaam) would give sight to the born-blind and with a touch of his hand he could cure the leper. But look at the excellence of our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)! The blessings which flowed from the blessed body, specially the hands, of our holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) are tremendous, indeed: even the dust from under the blessed footwear worn by the holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) had tremendous healing power; it proved to be a cure for leprosy and for the leper. The robe worn by our blessed Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) was so blessed that even the air it generated became a cure.
"The Christian has said that Hazrat 'Ieesaa ('Alaihis-Salaam) used to revive the dead. It is true that he used to revive the dead. For the soul to be inside the body is the cause of life. With the leave of Al-Laah, Hazrat 'Ieesaa ('Alaihis-Salaam) would return the soul to the body. It was a great feat. But look at the excellence of our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam). He restored life even to inanimate objects. He gave lifeless stones and dried trunks of trees the power to speak and to life. The saliva from our holy Prophet's (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) mouthwash was so blessed that if put into the brackish waters of a well it would turn it into a sweet-water well; if applied to a severed limb it would join up; if put into diseased eyes they were cured; if put into food for a few it would be sufficient for thousands. Hazrat 'Ieesa's ('Alaihis-Salaam) excellences are, of course, truly remarkable. But the excellences which AL-Laah Almighty blessed our holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) with are such that even Hazrat 'Ieesaa ('Alaihis-Salaam) would be envious of them.
- "Preaching his religion to this very crowd, the Jew has narrated the miracles of Hazrat Moosa ('Alaihis-Salaam) and called him a personality having great excellences. Those miracles had, indeed, taken place and Hazrat Moosa ('Alaihis-Salaam) was of great excellence. Describing them, the Jew rightly said that when Hazrat Moosa ('Alaihis-Salaam) would strike a stone with a stick a stream would flow from the stone. It is submitted to the Jew that though streams flow out of mountains but Hazrat Moosa (`Alaihis-Salaam) could make a stream flow only by striking a stone with a stick, and this was a great feat, indeed.
"Now, see what excellences our holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) had to his credit.
"During the Journey to Tabook and Hudaiebiyah, thousands of people accompanied our holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam). The season was of intense heat and the Islamic army had run out of water and the venerable companions (Radiyal Laahu 'Anhum) of our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) who had elevated themselves over the rest of the Um-mat through having an encounter with the Prophet after believing in him, complained to our holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) that water had run out, no drinking water was available, water was much needed for ablution, for bathing, for being given to animals for drinking, there was intense heat, and it would be a great calamity if water was not found. Our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) asked them to fetch a large vessel, and then put his blessed hand, the hand that our Rabb calls His own hand, into the vessel. And thousands of witnesses saw that five streams of cool, sweet water flowed from all five fingers of our holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam). All present drank from this water, made ablutions from it, bathed from it, gave it to animals belonging to the Islamic army and also stored them in their vessels. Hazrat Moosa ('Alaihis Salaam) had made streams to flow from stones, but our holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) made streams to flow from his fingers. This was a feat exclusive to our holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam).
"The Jew has also said that Hazrat Moosa ('Alaihis Sallam) would put his hand in his armpit and, when he withdrew it, it would come out shining brightly. This is correct. But let me tell him that our holy Prophet (`Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) was light personified; even the moon paled into insignificance before the glow of his face. His teeth were such that when our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) smiled and his mouth opened, the sparkle of his teeth shed a flood of light. The blessed wife of our holy Prophet, Hazrat Ayishah (Radiyal Laahu Anha), could find her stitching needle in the flood of light released by his blessed teeth.
"One night, two companions (Usaid and 'Ubaad Radiyal Laahu 'Anhuma) of our holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) were engrossed in talking to each other. The night was dark and it was raining. While thus engaged in talking it became late. The two companions (Radiyal Laahu 'Anhuma) told our holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) that it would be difficult for them to reach their homes because there would be no light and the streets would be filled with water and mud. (The companions used to carry wooden staffs, because it was the practice of our holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) to have a staff in his hand and the companions (Radiyal Laahu 'Anhum) followed the Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) to the last dot. The holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) asked one of the companions to hand him his staff and after touching the head of the staff with his blessed hand he returned it, telling them it would act as their light. The two companions rose up, and when they came out the staff began to give light as does a torch. The two began to find their way in this light.
"After going some distance, the way to the homes of the two separated. The other asked the one with the lighted staff as to how it would be possible for him to reach his home. The companion with the lighted staff lighted the other one's staff with a touch of his staff and both reached their homes safely.
"Hazrat Moosa ('Alaihis-Salaam) only lighted his hand, but, see, whichever staff the hand of our holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) touched became bright and whichever staff that staff touched also became lighted. This feat is exclusive to our holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)!
`'Not only this. Let me submit, and I am a very ordinary person, that if I were to go on narrating the excellences of our holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) the truth is that not only my life, my voice, my knowledge all would exhaust but the narration of the excellences of my holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) would not come to an end.
"And his teachings! They are a sea full of pearls, in which there is guidance for our success and progress till the end of the world. Only their attachment to our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) had made those who tended animals in the deserts, indulged in depredations, buried their daughters alive, were given to a life of tyranny and barbarism, made them better than the Angles.
"When they became attached to our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and also began to closely follow the Deen of our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam), then, because of the love for, and following in the footsteps of our Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam), they became the rulers of the world and the beloved of Almighty AL-Laah.
"I invite all of you to earn the good of this world and the Hereafter by fully attaching yourselves to our Faith, to our holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)."
Dear readers! Tell me in all truth whether all of them, the Hindu, the Jew and all others, would not be dumb-founded at hearing the realities described by this lover of the Prophet belonging to the Sun-nee Musalmaans. They will, of course, be struck with wonder and will accept the faith of Islaam. The Prophets and the friends of Al-Laah made Musalmaans of the idolaters and the polytheists and these Deobandi-Wahaabi-Tableeghi people are making idolaters and polytheists of true Musalmaans! You see for yourselves the difference between the two preachings and beliefs as also the impact of the two.
