The Promised Revival -- To Bring Faith Back Even If It Had Gone To Pleiades (i.e. weakened).

Continuing from part I @ http://www.online-literature.com/for...(a-t-)-Explain

Welcome:

Mentioning the quality of the highest level of meekness and humility [as self assumed conducts] of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said:

“Look, though the successes of our Nabi e Karim (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) were such that its precedent is not found in all previous prophets, but as God the Exalted continued to grant him successes he continued to adopted that much humbleness. Once upon a time, a person was brought to his Presence by holding. He (s.a.w.) saw he was shivering a lot and was afraid but when he came close, he (s.a.w.) enquired with extreme softness and politeness, why are you afraid like this? After all, I am a human like you too, and son of a lady.”

There is Hadith, from which meekness and humbleness of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) is known more, and there is advice of his (s.a.w.) believers that how should they live life? ….Hazrat Abu Huraira (r.a.) says that Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) said none among you will get salvation due to his deeds. Sahabah (r.a.) solicited, Ya Rasul Allah, you too? He said , yes I too, shall not get salvation by my deeds but Allah the Exalted will take me under the shadow of His Rehmat. So you remain right, and remain near Shariat and worship in the morning, evening and in the times of night, and adopt moderation then you will reach your aim.

So, the Prophet, about whom, God the Exalted says, his Bai'at is my Bai'at, and his hand is My Hand, but his station of khashiat (feeling of respect combined with fear) of God the Exalted and meekness is such that he says he too will be given salvation due to God’s Mercies and Blessings. Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) then said you people keep eye on your deeds, worships, and never be disloyal to your God, never be careless of worships.

Then see the scene of his (s.a.w.) moral of meekness and humbleness at success and victory. Earthly leaders, when get successes, act like Pharaoh, rather if a common person get a success, his neck become stiff with pride, arrogance and self-importance. But what is the model of the Perfect-Human? The city, whose people expelled him and his believers with oppression, not only this but latter continuously made efforts to erase Islam from the face of the world. But it happens what Allah the Exalted wants and has decided. Then the time came too when Makkah was subdued. Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) entered that city as victorious, but in what condition? History tells when Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) in entered Makkah with splendor of 10000 holy people with grandeur of a victory. That day for him was of very much happiness, joy and showing of grandeur. To express the blessings of God he (s.a.w.) had reached on the extreme station of moral of meekness. As much God elevated him, he continued to bow with humbleness that much. When he entered Makkah as victor, his head touched the saddle of camel (in prays).

==

Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) mentions this event as: “ Exaltedness, when, is granted to special servants of God the Exalted, it is in the color of humbleness. And exaltedness of Satan is connected with arrogance. Look! our Nabi e Karim (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), when got triumph over Makkah, he bowed his head and did sajdah as used to bow and did sajdah in those days of hardships and troubles when he was opposed in every way in this Makkah and pain was given.

==

While mentioning the humbleness of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) Our Master Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) advises:

“ Hollow bragging, pointless arrogance and praise should be avoided, and humbleness and modesty should be adopted. Look! Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) who was, in reality, the most highest and rightful of eminence, a sample of his humbleness and eminence is present in Quran Sharif. It is written, a blind used to come in the presence of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) to read Holy Sharif. One day dignitaries of Makkah and chiefs of the city were gathered with him (s.a.w.) and he was busy in talking with them. Due to indulgence in talks, because of some lateness that blind rose and left. This was a minute thing. Allah the Exalted revealed a Surah about it. At this Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) went to his home, and brought him with self and asked him to sit by spreading his (s.a.w.) chador. The real thing is this, that the people in whose hearts, there is grandeur of God, they must have to become humble and modest because they always remain afraid and trembling from Independence of God the Exalted….’ (Farsi) aa na keh araf an tar tersan tar’ ( the people who are have more understanding, they fear more). Because as Allah the Exalted grants at a point, similarly He catches at small point too. (If He gives fine wisdom, he catches at some things.) If He become unpleased with some act, then within second all work finishes. Thus it is needed, ponder at these things, and remember them, and practice.”

Hazrat Khalifatul Messiah V (a.t.) said that the most beautiful qualities of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) contain each quality. All of them cannot be stated even in many sittings, one sitting is nothing….Here is one more side of the beautiful character of him (s.a.w.). It is of his generosity.

Ibne Umer (r.a.) states that I have not seen braver than Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), respected, generous and bright being.
It seems that Sahabah did not have capacity to mention qualities of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). They try to mention one highest quality, four surface up and come forward.

One narration is that Some Ansar asked anything from Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), he granted them. They asked again, he granted again. They again asked, he again granted till what he had then finished. He (s.a.w.) said, the wealth I happen to have, I do not stop it from you.

Once 90000 dirham came to him from somewhere. He, there and then distributed them.
At an occasion, to a comer, he granted such large herd of goats which was spread in all valley.
Once heap of material goods was taken to him from Bahrain, he let it placed in mosque, when he came to offer Salaat he did not turn his eyes to that, after offering Salaat, he distributed all things.
It was his generosity and softness that sometimes Bedouin would ask him in very harsh and disrespectful way but despite having all power and government he would neglect it and would grant them.

==

Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) explain the subject that time of hardship comes for Prophets and Oliya / Friends and also opening and victories. He says both times are essential, so that their model in all kind of condition should come before the world. An earthly person shows meekness in poverty and weakness, bows to Allah the Exalted if he is in difficulty, deals people with good morals, helps poor according to capacity, stays silent before persecutors because of having no power and says he is showing patience.
But when government and power is gained, at that time, to take care of people, and to show highest morals, and to forgive, it is the actual quality. So states of weakness and power are in fact are scales to measure someone’s highest morals.

Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.) said:
“To have power, victory and rule is essential because to forgive sins of infliction-givers and to overlook persecutors, and to love foes, and to do well-wishing to ill-thinkers, to not attach heart with wealth, to not become arrogant by wealth, in wealthiness not adopting stoppage and miserliness and open door of favor and generosity and grant, and not to make wealth as mean of satisfying carnal desires, and not make government instrument of oppression and cruelty. These all morals are such, for whose proof, to be wealthy and powerful is condition. And they are proven at time only when wealth and rule both are available for human. Thus because without era of trouble and affliction and era of wealth and rule, both these types of morals cannot be manifested. That is why perfect divine wisdom demanded for Prophets and Friends to give them benefit from both types of states which are comprised of thousands of bounties. But time of happeing of both these sates is not at same sequence for everyone. But for some, divine wisdom provides time of peace in first part, and time of troubles latter. And to some troubles come in first part, and then eventually divine help joins. And in some, both these states are hidden. And in some, they emerge and appear at perfect degree and regarding this, the foremost step is of Hazrat khatamurrusal Muhammad Mustafa (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) because at Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), both these states came with perfect clarity. And came in such sequence, that all high morals of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) illumined like sun. And the subject ‘innaka laala kholoqin azim’ reached to level of proof. And the morals of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) getting proved perfectly in both way prove morals of all prophets. Because his holiness attested their Prophethood and their Books, and manifested they were favorite of Allah.

==

Thankfulness, is another great quality, whose right understating and whose highest level, we see in the model of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). He established the highest examples of thankfulness to Allah the Exalted and thankfulness to people too.

He (s.a.w.) used to say this prayer, O Allah make me your thankful and remember-er.

He would take drops of first rain at his tongue, that it is way to be thankfulness of this bounty of Allah the Exalted.

His meal used to be very simple, but after this, he would offer a lot of thanks to Allah the Exalted . He taught us this prayer too. Some time he would eat bread with one palm date, some time with vinegar, and offer thanks to Allah the Exalted that he granted these means of eating and drinking.
He would thank Allah the Exalted for new dress.
In short there was nothing, before whose use, he would not say praise and thank to Allah the Exalted.

When he was asked about his lot of crying and wailing in his worships that you stand for worship and your feet swell, you become lot of restless in sajdas and cry so much that earth become wet with tears, your all human shortcomings of past and future have been forgiven by Allah the Exalted; no sin will take place by you and never was done in past, why so much weeping and crying by you? He said, should I not cry before Him, by becoming thankful servant of Allah the Exalted that He has granted me so much.

==

What were his levels of people’s thankfulness. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (r.a) was his child hood friend who stayed with him in each difficulty. He (s.a.w.) would take care of his emotions a lot. Once a person, due to some disagreement, said something to Hazrat Abu Bakr (r.a.). At this Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) said that when Allah the Exalted made my advent, you all called me liar, and Abu Bakr testified my truth and helped me with his life and wealth. Can not you stop doing torment of heart of my companion? At an occasion, he said, the most favor for me, Abu Bakr did…. What favor could have been done anyone to him (s.a.w.). To sacrifice anything for him was honor for that sacrifice doer. And in apparent way, he returned reward of everyone’s service much more than the service. But, yet he is expressing emotions of thankfulness.

Hazrat Aisha (r.a.), on his repeated words of praise for Hazrat Khajah (r.a.) said, what you all time keep mentioning that lady? Allah the Exalted has granted you wives better than her. At this, Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) said when people belied me, she accepted me. When people denied me, she believed. When I was deprived of wealth, she helped me with her wealth. And Allah the Exalted gave me children from her too. So He (s.a.w.) never forgot services of Hazrat Khadijah (r.a.) which she did for her husband and he considered it favor and always was thankful for that…….. It is the lesson for today’s husbands; they usurp their wives’ wealth and say it is their favor that they have given them station of wife yet!

==

He (s.a.w.) always remember the favor of the King Najshi of Habshah who gave refuge to Muslims who migrated and by his words and acts showed thankfulness to the king. Once when his delegation came to him (s.a.w.), he stood to welcome them. Sahabah said we are sufficient for welcome, he said the king respected our companions and treated them with morals, that is why I like to return his favour by myself.

==

When we see him (s.a.w.) as teacher of morals, here too amazing grandeur of his model is seen. At an occasion when Hazrat Aisha (r.a) pointed to the small height of Hazrat Safia (r.a) said something as humour, he (s.a.w.) said Aisha this is such a sentence if mixed in sea it would make it bad.

==

Training of children and to teach the high morals, what were his models? A sahabi Abdulla bin Aamir states once Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) came at our home, I was little then, I was about to go out for playing, my mother said Abdullah come here, I shall give a thing, Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) said, do you want to give her something, my mother said yes I shall give palm date. He (s.a.w.) said if in fact it was not your plan and you had said so only to call the child, then you would have gained sin of speaking lie and lie is a very big sin near Allah the Exalted. So these are the level of establishing the truth which he (s.a.w.) wants for his followers.

==

There is Islamic teaching of doing good to neigbours. How he trained about that? Once, someone asked him, O messenger of allh how will I know whether I am doing good or bad? He (s.a.w.) said when you hear your neighbour saying that you are very good then consider you conduct is good and when you hear neighbours saying you are very bad then understand your conduct is bad and you are doing wrong.

==

Hazrat Khalifatul Messiah V (may Allah be his helper) said these were some samples of model of him (s.a.w.) which I mentioned. He was stationed at the most highest morals. And, the same he wanted to see in his believes. May God do so that we, not with verbal claim but by copying his model, be true practitioners, and be his followers and make means of our forgiveness.

Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) says:

“That human who, with his being, with his properties, with his functions, with his acts, and with powerful river of his spiritual and pure strengths showed model of full perfection -- knowledge-wise and action-wise and sincerity-wise and steadfasting-wise. And called the perfect human. That human who was the most perfect most of all, and was the perfect-human and was the perfect-Prophet and came with the perfect blessings. From whom the first Qiyamat of world appeared due to spiritual advent and resurrection. And a dead whole world became alive by his coming. That blessed Prophet Hazrat Khatamul Ambiya, Imam ul Asfiya, Khatamul Mursalin, Fakhrun Nabiyen is holiness Muhammad Mustafa (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). O dear God, on that dear Prophet, send that mercy and darud which you have not sent on anyone since the start of the world. If this magnificent Prophet had not come in the world, then as, many small prophets came in the world, like Yunus and Ayub and Massiah bin Maryam and Malaki and Yahya and Zakaria etc etc; we did not have any argument of their truth, even though all were Near and eminent and dears of Allah the Exalted. It is the favor of that Prophet, that these people too were considered true in the world. allahuma salley wa sallim wa barik alaihey wa allehi wa ashabehi ajmaeen wa akhero dawana anil hamdo lillahe rabbil aalaamin (O Allah bless, and send peace, and perpetuate and increase good at him, and his people, and his companions, all, and at the conclusion our prayer shall be: All praises be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.) [aameen]
