THE PROPHET OF JIHAAD

The dearest and the last Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad is the Prophet of Jihaad. The Holy Prophet waged Jihaad the maximum of all prophets. The famous Muhaddith and Scholar of Sind Hazrat Syed Makhdoom Muhammad Hashim Thatthori has collected the holy names of the Holy Prophet . A few of them are as under also:

(i) The Prophet of Jihaad 

(ii) The Prophet who wage Jihaad.

(iii) The Mujaahid Prophet.

(iv) Brave warrier Prophet.

(v) The Prophet who waged Jihaad in the way of Allah.

Think a little please! How can it be a crime for a Muslim to be Jihaadi when our Prophet himself is Jihaadi? These days, a number of male and female journalists are presenting the word "Jihaad" as an abuse. To whom do these people want to give the words of abuse? Jihaad is a sacred obligation of Islam. The denier of this obligation is like the denier of prayer and fasting. Being Jihaadi is a great auspiciousness for a Muslim, a very great auspiciousness.

The Sahaabah were also Jihaadi

The companions of the Holy Prophet were also very great and high-ranked Jihaadi. The Holy Quran has told them that Jihaad is the dearest activity to Allah. Then Jihaad became the dearest activity to them. The precedence of Jihaad of Sahaabah is niether found in the foregoing Ummahs nor any one will be able to wage Jihaad like them in future. The Sahaabah pledged an oath of fighting to the last breath of their lives. The following couplet of theirs is also very authentic and famous.

"We have pledged an oath at the hands of Hazrat Muhammad for waging Jihaad to the last breath of life". The Caliphs are more high-ranked among the Sahaabah . All the four of them were"Jihaadi". The people of Badr have special ranks. All of them were "Jihaadi". The people of Hudaibiyah have special ranks. All of them were "Jihaadi". The Muhajireen as well as Ansaar enjoy special ranks. All of them were "Jihaadi". The members of the family of the Holy Prophet were very very high-ranked. All of them were "Jihaadi". The holy mothers of the Muslims also went forth to wage Jihaad. Hazrat Sayedah Fatima was washing the injuries of the Holy Prophet in the field of Uhud.

Then why do our journalists present the word "Jihaad" as an abuse and crime? Have they gone mad or they are uttering in the words of the Mirzai or the Pagans.

Jihaadi Angels

The Holly Quran tells us that Allah sent down angels to assist the Muslims in Jihaad. It is mentioned at several places in the Holy Quran. It also tells us that Allah taught those angels how to fight. The names of many angels are also given in authentic reports particularly Hazrat Jibrail and Hazrat Meekail . Hence, the Holy Quran and the Traditions prove that the angels were Jihaadi. Were the innocent angels committing a crime? If not, why is it becoming a crime in the sight of the Muslims to become Jihaadi? Some Maktabs offer justifications that they do not impart Jihaad education. Have they now ( God forbids) started teaching "Geeta" instead of the Holy Quran? What type of this fear that undermines the basis of Islam and what expedience that changes the map of Din. Jihaad is present in the Holy Quran. None can deny it. The Holy Quran is taught in the Religious Institutions. It is clear that Jihaad education will be being given there. Swordsmanship and cudgeling both used to be taught at Dar-ul-uloom Deo-Band. What evil is there in it? It is an honour for a Muslim to be a Jihaadi and deprivation of Jihaad is a dissension, sedition and torment for a Muslim.

The Prophets Were Jihaadi

It has clearly been told in the fourth Part of the Holy Quran that many Prophets and their companions used to fight in the way of Allah. It becomes clear that numerous Prophets were also "Jihaadi". The Jihaad of Hazrat Dawood is discussed in the Holy Quran. Jihaad preparations of Hazrat Sulemaan are found in the Holy Quran. Jihaad persuasion by Hazrat Musa is mentioned in the Holy Quran. How sacred and dear will be the task that the Prophets did? Hence, every true Muslim loves Jihaad. The person who is nearer to infidelity and hypocrisy runs as much away Jihaad. This sign of belief and hypocrisy has been told by the Holy Quran. The journalists who report that such and such person should be arrested and killed because he is Jihaadi must safeguard and think of their belief. They have called a big obligation of Allah a great sin which is itself a great oppression.

We Were Not Worthy Of It!

Today, I was reading a book "Which saints were Jihaadi after the Sahaabah?" Allah-o-akbar! The names of Hazrat Ibrahim Nakhaee and Hazrat Abdullah bin Mubaarik from among the Juriconhsult and those of Haatim Asam, Hazrat Ibrahim bin Adhem and Hazrat Shafique Balhee were from among the Sufies. If this detail is given, books can be compiled. Jihaad was very dear to those people whereas the Caliphs of those ages had performed the duty of Jihaad by sending Jihaadi armies everywhere. The big scholars were forbidden to do so but they still rushed to it because when the Holy Prophet is the Jihaadi Prophet, his Ummah is also Jihaadi. Now, the atmosphere of worldliness has prevailed everywhere. The actual matter now is to save one's life and that ones apparent peace may not be disturbed. The rest of arguments are just to save the life. It cannot be that the Ummah whose Prophet is standing injured in the battlefield and it may not grasp the meanings of Jihaad. Only if life is to be saved and there is every kind of fear in the heart, neither the Holy Quran nor the Life of the Holy Prophet is discernible. It is Allah's great Grace and Favour on the people who have now come out to wage Jihaad. These few people have not yet been able to give the due of Jihaad but their enemies are terrified and have testified that these are "Jihaadi". When we are abused of being Jihaadi by the enemies of Din, we feel pleased and hope of forgiveness from Allah increases. A few days ago, I saw accursed Salmaan Rushdi speaking against us on the Internet. Before him, Bush, Tony and Musharrif spoke and became silent. It is all Allah's grace that He has placed so great might, blessing and awe in so small task. Actually, the word "Jihaadi" is very high and elevated. We did not deem ourselves worthy of it. Now, if our enemies have testified that we are Jihaadi, we offer thanks to Allah.

Life, Not Death

When the so-called Pakistani journalists call someone "Jihaadi" their object is to get him killed by their father America as soon as possible. Therefore, any one who is to be arrested and got killed is named Jihaadi i.e being a Jihaadi is to invite death according to them. Hence, the people who fear death, give the justification and proof that they are not Jihaadi whereas the fact is that being "Jihaadi" is to find eternal and immortal life which will be very delicious and grand. Allah has promised that life for those who wage Jihaad in His way. Hence, O Muslims, become Jihaadi if you want that life. Just spare a few days once and study the book "Fazaail-e-Jihaad." You will not doubt rather find the secret and method of finding that life. Now-a-days, if a doctor or physician announces that he has the medicine that increases five years more in life, the crowd of people will break his doors whereas the fact is that no one can increase even a single minute in life but there is actually all life in Jihaad. There is no death in it. Hence, in order to find the secret of that life, do start studying the book "Fazaail-e-Jihaad" the very today. Do study 150 pages daily. After a few days, you will find the state of your heart very good if Allah wills. Then you will find being Jihaadi not a word of abuse but a great honour, a very great honour and distinction.
