Maulwi Rashid Ahmed Gangohi writes, UA spiritual disciple (mureed) should have certainty that the soul of the spiritual master (Shaikh) is not confined to one area Even if the disciple is far, near or physically distant from the Shaikh, the master's spirituality (roohaniyat) isn't far from him. When this has been established, the spiritual master should be remembered at all times so that the connection of heart is manifested and benefit can be gained from him continually. The disciple is needy of the master in his affairs. The Shaikh should be made Haazir in your heart and, through the voice of condition. you should ask from him. Through the order of Allah عزوجل, the soul of the Shaikh will inspire (but complete connection is a requirement for this). Through this connection of the Shaikh, the heart seemingly gains a voice. The path leading to Allah عزوجل is opened and He makes this person an achiever of inspiration {ilhaarn),-Imdaadus­ Sulool; Pg. 10

This extract establishes the following,

1. The Shaikh (peer) being Haazir & Naazir by the disciple (mureed).

2. The mureed being in tasawure-Shaikh (picturing the Shaikh).

3. The peer fulfils needs (Haajat-rawaa).

4. The mureed should ask from the Shaikh instead of Allah عزوجل.

5. The Shaikh inspires the rnureed.

6. The Shaikh makes the heart of the mureed flow.

When such qualities are possessed by a Shaikh, bow can it he polytheism (shirk) to accept them as qualities of the Shaikh of all creation, Sayyiduoa Muhanuoad Mustapha صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم? This extract has absolutely decimated the muzhah of the opposition, and the.entire text ofTaqwiatul-Imaan is obliterated through this.

Maulwi Ashraf Ali Thanwi writes that Abu Yazid was asked concerning covering distances of the earth. He replied. "This is nothing of wonder. Sec, lbiees also covers the east to the west in onc moment." «Hifrul-lmaan, Pg. 7

The above clearly illustrates that reaching the west from the east in a single moment. besides the close servants of Allah عزوجل, is also possible by the Kuffaar and Shayateen. In fact, it constantly occurs. This is the meaning of Haazir & Naazir. However, according to the text of Taqwiyatul-Imaan. to believe in it is polytheism (shirk).

These extracts openly prove that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم Haazir & Naazir.

Section 5

RATIONAL PROOFS OF HAAZIR & NAAZIR

All Muslims agree that the Holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم is Jaame-Kamaalaat {i.e. all excellences bestowed to other Prophets, or whatever shall be given to future Saints or creation have all been given to him and even more so). Rather, it is through him that they have attained whatever they have. The Holy Quran states, "You follow the path of all of them." - Surah Anaam, Verse 40

Allama Ismail Haqqi رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہwrites in this ayat's explanation, "Allah عزوجل has bestowed the characteristic of every prophet to Rasoolullah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 3.51 – Tafseer-Roohul-Bayaan.

Maulwi Qaasim Nanoutwi states, "The prophets extract from Rasoolullah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and present to the Ummahs. In sbort, whatever they posses is his reflection and supplement!' - Tahzeerun-Naos, Pg. 49

There are many proofs from the Quean and Hadith etc. that can he provided fill this. However. furnishing more proof isn't necessary because it is something believed by the opposition. Thus, the accepted rule is that any quality of greatness attained by any creation has been bestowed to the Holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم completely and perfectly. Being Haazir & Naazir at all places has been given to many creations. As a result, we have to conclude that the Noble Messenger صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم has also been endowed with the quality.

We now clarify the amount of creation that has been given the ability to be Haazir & Naazir. The three meanings of the term discussed in the introduction 10 this discussion have been received by many:

I. Commentating on the ayat, “حتی از جاء احدکم الموت توفتہ رسلنا”3.60 the Mufassireen have said. "The entire earth has been made like a tray for the Angel of Death 10 lake lives from it whenever the need arises." 3.61 ­Roohul-Bayaan, Khaazin, Tafseer-Kabeer, etc.

Allama Haqqi رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ writes under this ayat, "Extracting souls is not difficult for the Angel of Death even if there is an extensive amount of souls which are spread over several places." 3.62 - Tafseer Roohul-Bayaan

Tafseer Khaazin states, "There is no person in a home or tent not visited by the Malakul-Maut twice everyday."J.6J

The Hadith states that when Azaan and Takbeer is made. Shaitaan runs away from the area it occurs to the distance of 36 miles. He then returns as soon as irs finished." - Mishkaat, Baabu Fadhlil-Azaan

This is the speed of travel possessed by this cursed individual.

When we sleep. a part of our soul leaves our body and travels throughout creation.

This is known as 'rooh seerani' and is proven from the Holy Quran, “و یمسک اخری” 3.64 However. If this sleeping person is awoken. that soul (which was present in Makka or Madinajust a moment ago) instantly returns to the body and the person subsequently wakes up.

Discussing the ayat “و ھو الذی یتوفکم باللیل”3.6S Tafseer Roohul-Bayaan states. "When a person wakes up from sleep. the soul takes less than a moment to return 10 the body."

The light of our vision goes to the heavens and returns to the earth in a moment. Our thought travels the world in a second and lightning, the telephone and loudspeaker all have the ability to transcend huge spaces in seconds.
