Yesterday was 27th of Rajab on which Allah (SWT) appointed Muhammad (PBUH) to his prophetic mission as the last messenger and the prophet. I congratulate on such grand day , a day changed the destiny of human beings.
"Those who follow the Messenger , the unlettered prophet,whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel,which are in their possession. He will enjoin them to do what is right and forbid them what is wrong. He will make lawful for them all good things and he will relieve them of their burden and the fetters that they used to wear" (7:157)
Maba'ath. is a day when..the archangel ,Jibraeel brought the first verses of Allah' words to Muhammad PBUH , the revelation which continued over next 23 years. I
Muhammad (PBUH) the ummi (unlettered) prophet was raised up by Allah as His mercy upon people of the world,
verse 21 of Surah Anbiya:
“We have sent you but as a Mercy to the creation.”
Allah ordered him to summon the world to Tauhid and the worship of the One God , to call them to justice ,good works,strong social bonds, and encouraging them to hold to the truth without fear. Allah (SWT) appointed Muhammad PBUH to establish the human happiness on the bed rock of faith. Maba'ath means Resurgence , no wonder despite of passing 1430 years , the prophet muhammad's message sent by Allah SWT is still shining even much shinier and brighter than the first days.
mam Ali (as) , the prophet PBUH 's dearest cousin, ward, son-in law and his true successor in leading Islamic ummah in sermon 26 from nahjul balaghah( Ali ibn abi talib famous book Nahj al-Balaghah, which is a collection of the Imam's highly eloquent speeches, letters and maxims ) says that:
“Allah sent Muhammad (SAWA) as a Warner for all creation and a Trustee of His revelation, while you people of Arabia were following the worst religion and you resided among rough stones and venomous serpents. You drank dirty water and ate filthy food. You shed blood of each other and cared not for relationships. Idols were fixed among you and sins clung to you."
Again from Nahjul balaghah in sermon 160 , Imam Ali (a.s) says about Prophet Mohammad (blessings of God upon him and his progeny):
“Allah sent him with a convincing discourse and a rectifying announcement. Through him Allah disclosed the ways that were forsaken and destroyed the innovations that had been introduced. Through him He explained the detailed commands. Now whoever adopts a religion other than Islam his misery is definite… his fate will be serious, his end will be long grief and distressing punishment.” (Sermon 160)
Now adays we see that despite the hard work of enemies and hypocrites to darken image of Islam , Islam is fastes growing religion in the world , this means that Islam is for eternity.
Therefore celebrating maba'ath is the renewal of our faithfulness to Islam principals, the principals that Muhammad SAS preached, to rebuild ourselves to be a true and real monotheist ...........
Salaam!
ReplyDeleteFinally got some time to write down my comments. I have always admired your way of thinking and this blog of yours again leaves good impression on me.
Today when we celebrate the coming of our Prophet, we are also to remember what exactly was his mission. Today the world is in dire need to understand the true message of Prophet of Islam.
Some how around me I feel that even many a Muslims have forgotten what exactly he brought to this world.
Many have limited Islam to...just praying five times a day, observing ramadan and performing Hajj. Islam is way of life, in every aspect of life we are to move alongwith the lifestyle of our Prophet as given to us through his Ahul al Bayt.
I'm myself not that good a Muslim and in no means this is to be taken as some kind of a lecture but I felt need to writing it for we do celebrate but do we honestly follow?
thanks :)
