The Validity of Saying Ya-Rasoolallah
Written by Ala’Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Al-Qadri Barkati Muhaqqiq Barelwi (Radi Allah Unho)
THE VALIDITY OF SAYINGYA RASOOLULLAH (Peace be upon him) What is the ruling of the Ulama of Islam on the following matter? Zaid is a Muslim and believes in Allah Almighty and the Prophet hood of his beloved Rasool (Peace be upon him). After every Salah, and at other times, he recites the following verses: Peace and Blessings upon you, O Messenger of Allah Almighty
I ask the learned Scholars of Islam :
Please enlighten us in this in accordance to the Shariah. We pray that you enjoy the Mercy of Allah Almighty on the Day of Judgment. Aameen. ANSWER The utterance of the above words is indeed permitted. Only the misled or ignorant will contest it. We shall consult the books of the following great Jurists of Islam for reference on this matter.
I will now quote a Hadith that supports and also promotes the above-mentioned words. The following great Scholars of Islam have certified this Hadith as authentic: “O Allah Almighty, I ask from You, and turn towards You through the Wasila (Medium) of Your (2) Imam Tabrani (Radi Allah unho), in his Muh’jam records the following incident: A person in dire need visited Ameer-ul-Mo'menin Sayyeduna Usman Al-Ghani (Radi Allah unho). The Khalifa was busy with some other work and he did not pay any attention to his need. Thereafter, this person went to Sayyeduna Usman bin Hanif (Radi Allah unho) and complained about the matter. Sayyeduna Usman bin Hanif (Radi Allah unho) ordered the man to perform Wudu (ablution) and go to the Mosque and after two Rakats of Nafil Salah. He then ordered the man to recite the following Du’a and mention his need to Allah Almighty: Imam Tabrani (Radi Allah unho) and Imam Manzari (Radi Allah unho) have both recorded this Hadith as authentic. They said Sayyeduna Abdullah Ibn-e-Omar (Radi Allah unho) once suffered from a cramp. Someone (4) Imam Nawawi (Radi Allah unho) in his commentary of the Sahih Muslim, and also in Kitab-ul-Azkar, records that some individuals were sitting in the company of Sayyeduna Abdullah Ibn-e-Abbas (Radi Allah unho), when suddenly one of them suffered from cramps. The Noble Companion advised the man to remember the person whom he loved the most. The man screamed, “Ya Muhammadahu (Peace be upon him)!” He was immediately cured. There are many As’hab who narrate incidents of similar nature. It is a common practice of the people of Madina Munawwara to proclaim (6) Sayyeduna Bilal bin Al-Haris Muzani (Radi Allah unho) states that a drought once occurred in the year 18 A.H. during the Khilafat of Sayyeduna Omar Al- Farooq (Radi Allah unho). The drought was known as “Aamur- Ramada”. His tribe, Bani Muzaina approached him and complained that they were dying of hunger, and that he must request the Khalifa to sacrifice a few sheep for food. He said that there were no sheep left to sacrifice, but they insisted. However, a sheep was found and was slaughtered. When it was cleaned, the people were amazed to see that there was no meat in the animal besides red bones. Sayyeduna Bilal saw this distressing sight and screamed in grief, “Ya Muhammadahu (Peace be upon him)!” That same night he dreamt of Sayyeduna Rasoolullah (Peace be upon him) who informed him of future glad tidings. As time passed all these Prophetic predictions did occur accordingly. I saw him (i.e. Sayyeduna Abdur-Rehman Masoodi (Radi Allah unho)) place (9) The following is recorded in the Fatawa of Sheikh-ul-Islam Imam Allama Shahab Ramli Al-Ansari (Radi Allah unho): The question asked is whether it is permissible for the people to invoke the names of Prophets, (10) Imam Allama Khairuddin Ramli (Radi Allah unho), the illustrious teacher of the scholar who has written the authentic book on Islamic Jurisprudence, “ Durre Mukhtar”, states in his Fatawa Khariya: People who proclaim," a Sheikh Abdul Qadri”, are merely emulating a call. (11) Sayyedi Jamaal bin Abdullah bin Omar Makki (Radi Allah unho), in his Fatawa states: I was questioned about those people, who in times of difficulty proclaim “Ya Rasoolullah, Ya Ali, (12) Imam Abdur-Rehman Ibn-e-Jozi (Radi Allah unho), in his book, Oyunil Hikayat, narrates a strange and amazing incident of three brothers who loved Jihad so much that they always engaged in it. Once they were engaged in Jihad with the Christians of Rome. They were captured and the Romans began torturing them. The Roman King told them that if they adopted Christianity, He would The King was furious at this and ordered two of them to be thrown into boiling oil. They were eventually martyred. The younger brother was placed in prison. While in prison, the King’s daughter became attracted to this prisoner. She was very amazed at his devotion and piety and this drew her closer to him. After some time, she secretly released him and escaped with him. After their escape, the Muslim Mujahid presented Islam to the princess and she whole-heartedly accepted it. When you saw us being thrown into the boiling oil, you indeed saw us enter the pot. Imam Abdur-Rehman Ibne Jozi (Radi Allah unho) states that the brothers lived in Syria and were notably famous. Many couplets have been written in their praise. This incident has been shortened Imam Jalaluddin Suyuti records this incident in detail in his Sharhus-Sudor:
Our object is to highlight how beneficial it is to call out to the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him). We have seen that the brothers, at a time of extreme peril and danger, did not hesitate in calling to the Prophet (Peace be upon him). How were they rewarded? They were rewarded with such blessings that the two Shuhada immediately entered Jannah, while the youngest brother was saved and married the King’s daughter. The two Shuhada, accompanied by a group of Angels, were actually given permissible to attend the marriage of their younger brother. If calling out with “Ya” is Shirk, then why were the brothers forgiven and blessed with Jannat-ul-Firdous and Angels attended the wedding?
One should perform two Rakats of Salah and in every Rakats one should recite the (14) The above method has been mentioned and prescribed by eminent scholars such as, Imam Abul Hasan Ali bin Jareer Nahmi Shat’nooni (Radi Allah unho), Imam Abdullah bin Asad Yafa’e Makki (Radi Allah unho), Sheikh Mullah Ali Qari Makki (Radi Allah unho) author of Mirqat Shar’he Mishkat, Moulana Abul Ma’ali Muhammad Salmi Qadri (Radi Allah unho) and Sheikh-e-Muhaqqiq Moulana Abdul Haq Muhaddith Dehlvi (Radi Allah unho). Some of their thesis is, Bahjat-ul-Asrar, Khulasatul Mafakhir, Nuzhatul Khatir, Tohfa-e-Qadriyah and Zubda-tul-Asar, etc. Numerous other Ulama and Awliya also promote it. One should also remember that the great Ulama and Saints attribute extreme authenticity to the above. I (Imam Ahmad Raza) have written a detailed book,
Co-incidentally, in that very market place, Ibne Omar Saeed, the captured ruler, was being taken as a prisoner. He was captured by Sultan Chiq’miq and was ordered to imprison. The captured ruler heard the scream and inquired from the Mureed as to who was Sayyedi Muhammad (Radi Allah unho). When he was informed about this, he also a creamed:
As soon as he proclaimed the name of the great Wali, the spiritual master appeared and drove away the capturers and freed the ruler. The Sheikh then blessed the ruler, and departed.
That night, she dreamt of Sheikh Sayyedi Ahmad Kabir Badawi (Radi Allah unho) who told her: “How long is your going to call on me? Do you not know that that you live under the security of a very great Wali? (Referring to her husband), we are not to respond to the call of a person who lives under the command and protection of a high-ranking Wali. You should instead call:
The lady did that and awoke the next morning totally cured. Imam Sharani (Radi Allah unho) also notes that the Grand Master, Sayyedi Muhammad (Peace be upon him) Shamsuddin Hanafi (Radi Allah unho), was in his deathbed when he called his Mureeds and said to them:
(18) Incidents of similar nature are recorded by Imam Abdul Wahab Sharani (Radi Allah unho) in his book, Tabqat-e-Kubra. We shall quote a few.
(20) It is also mentioned in the same Kitab that while Sheikh Sayyedi Maden bin Ahmad Shamoni (Radi Allah unho) was performing Wudu, he suddenly threw his sandal towards the eastern direction of the city. A year later, a man arrived and reported an experience of a strange incident. He said, “Once my daughter was walking in the jungle when an evil man tried to molest her. At that moment she could not remember the name of my Murshid. In that state of distress, she screamed ,
(22) Imam-ul-Muhaditheen Sheikh-e-Muhaqqiq Abdul Haq Muhaddith Dehlvi (Radi Allah unho), in his famous book, Akhbar-ul-Akhyar, mentions about Sheikh Bahauddin bin Ibrahim Ataullah Al-Ansari Ash-Shatari (Radi Allah unho). The illustrious Arife is the author of the famous book on Tasawwuf entitled Risalah-e-Shatariya. He has recorded in his book a specific type of Zikr known as Zikr-e-Kashful Arwah. O Unique ! Among those who can be depended on. O Unique ! In the commentary of the above verses, Shah Wali ullah (Radi Allah unho) also writes about the difficult moments in which it is most necessary to seek assistance from the sacred Soul of the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him). At the beginning of this chapter, he writes: “I cannot perceive any one besides the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) who stretches out a helping hand for a depressed person in times of calamities.” “O Rasool (Peace be upon him) of Allah Almighty! O Unique among the Creation! I seek your favor on the Day of Justice. On that Day when there will be a great test, only you, O Prophet (Peace be upon him) of Allah Almighty! Would give me security from all calamities. I have turned to you for salvation and placed my trust in you.” (26) Shah Wali ullah (Radi Allah unho), records a method for achieving and fulfilling one’s wishes in his book. Al-Intibah-fi-Salasil-e-Awliya. He states; “One should first perform two Rakats of Nafil Salah. After completion, he should recite the following – 111 times Durood Shareef (Salawat), 111 times Kalima Tamjed and 111 times ‘Shay’an-Lillah, Ya Sheikh Abdul Qadri Jilani’.” I indeed bless my (Mureeds) with tranquility during times of difficulty and perplexity, (30) Allama Ziyadi (Radi Allah unho), Allama Ajhori (Radi Allah unho), Allama Dawoodi (Radi Allah unho) (The marginal writer of the Sharah Minhaj) and Allama Ibne-Aabideen Shami, have all prescribed a method for finding a lost item. They say: “One should climb on to a high spot and offer Fateha for Sayyedi Ahmad bin Alwan Yamani (Radi Allah unho). Thereafter, invoking his name, one should say, ‘Ya Sayyedi Ahmad, Ya Ibne Alwan.’”
Now what is your opinion about these great Luminaries of Islam? They have clearly substantiated their belief that it is permissible to call upon. Prophets and Saints for assistance. It is serious crime to condemn a Muslim as a Kafir. It is reported in the Sahih Hadith that if anyone calls a Muslim a Kafir, he himself becomes a Kafir. The Ulama and Aimma of Den have unanimously agreed on this decision. One can consists my kitab,
On the same note it is stated in Tanwe-rul-Absar and its commentary, Durre-Mukhtar, that: It is necessary that the words of Tashahud be interpreted according to the fact of its (34) Allama Imam Hasan Sharanbalani (Radi Allah unho), in his book, Maraqi-ul-Falah states: The meaning will be considered as if it is presently happening, He further states :“Numerous Ulama have in fact clarified this belief. There are some misled individuals who profess that because Angels are deputized to convey the Salaams to the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him), one should not use the tense of Nida. These individuals have forgotten that twice daily, the deeds of the Ummati are presented to the Beloved Habib (Peace be upon him). It is clearly stated in many authentic Ahadith that all the deeds of a Muslim are placed in front of the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him), the deceased family and the deceased parents.” (35) Substantiating this, I will conclude this book by mentioning a Hadith reported by Sayyeduna Imam Abdullah Ibne Mubarak narrated by Rais-ul-Tabaen Sayyeduna Saeed Ibne Musaib (Radi Allah unho), who states: "Not a single day or night passes by without the deeds of the Ummati being presented in front of Sayyeduna Rasoolullah (Peace be upon him). Therefore, the Glorious Prophet (Peace be upon him) of Allah Almighty recognizes his followers in two ways, firstly by their Alamat (signs). And secondly, by their Ahmal (deeds).” This humble servant of Islam (Imam Ahmad Raza), with the Infinite Mercy of Allah Almighty could have compiled a more detailed book concerning this issue, however, herein are sufficient proofs for a pious person who loves justice and honesty. Certainly, for those whom Allah Almighty guides, a single letter is sufficient.
