Maulana also intended spending some time in the company of Hazrat in Karachi during this same trip. Upon Maulana’s arrival in Deoband, Mufti Sahib remarked: ‘How is it that you come now in Shawwaal and not in Ramadaan?’ Maulana explained that on hearing the news of his illness, he wished to visit him. Mufti Saheb replied: “Actually it was the desire of my heart that drew you here so that I may give you ijaazat (khilafat).” Maulana began to tear and said: ‘I am not worthy of it.’ Mufti Saheb said: ‘This is how you should feel about yourself, but I know who is deserving of it.’ After this visit, Maulana travelled to Karachi and related this incident to Hazrat Maulana Hakeem Saheb, seeking his advice. Hazrat advised Maulana to treat the Ijaazat of Mufti Saheb as a blessing... Shortly after Maulana returned home, he received a letter from Hazrat Maulana Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb, wherein Hazrat wrote : “I grant you ijaazat (khilafat).” In his subsequent visits to South Africa, Hazrat (DB) would stay for a longer time in Durban. Hazrat, his companions and associates stayed at Maulana’s Madrasah. Hazrat was overjoyed on witnessing the arrangements made for him, as well as the enthusiasm of the people. 3 AN-NOOR MAGAZINE During Hazrat’s stay, the Madrasah became extraordinarily luminous. A Tribute to the city of Durban On one occasion, whilst traveling to Cape Town, Hazrat requested his most special attendant, Hazrat Ishrat Jameel Meer Saheb (DB) to allow Maulana (u) to sit in his place, next to Hazrat, and that he should sit in Maulana’s place. Meer Saheb did as requested and informed Maulana that Hazrat wanted him to sit next to him. Maulana went and sat next to Hazrat. Hazrat then took a note-book out of his pocket and began writing... and Maulana watched as Hazrat wrote. Hazrat’s poetry was ‘Ilhaam’ (Divine Inspiration), so there was no requirement of pondering over rhyme, verse and stanza. Hazrat was inspired with this poetry aboard the aircraft. When the poem ‘Dar yaade Durban’ was complete, Hazrat handed it over to Maulana saying: “Show this poetry to Meer Saheb.” Maulana then showed it to Meer Saheb. In this poem, Hazrat Maulana Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb (MZ) praises Durban, which is one of the major cities in South Africa : “We imagined DURBAN to be some wilderness But friends, when we visited it, It turned out to be a garden to be envied. My heart and soul are pleased with my friends there; With the Grace of Allah, Durban brings joy and happiness to our hearts.” Generally, the pious servants of Allah do not show any attachment to any specific town or area. Their affiliation to any place is solely on the basis of the Deen that flourishes in that particular place and the pious people 4 VOLUME 4 • JUMAADAL UKHRA 1438 who reside there. ...As was in the case of Majnoon who had no real regard or connection with the town of his beloved Layla. He began to love and revere her home-town solely because she resided there. Since Hazrat Wala has many esteemed followers in Durban, he made mention of Durban in his poem. Hazrat explains : Based on our knowledge of the Urdu language, we assumed Durban to be some jungle or wilderness, because the word ‘ban’ (Durban) in Urdu means, “a jungle”. Moreover, the syllables ‘dur’ (Durban) means “fear”. Joined to ‘ban’, the name gave the impression of a wilderness or a lonely uninhabited place. However, when I arrived there, I discovered Durban to be contrary to my expectations. It turned out to be like a beautiful garden that was a source of envy... because there was a large group of sincere, devoted people residing there, who had great love and affection for the sake of Allah. Hence, I began to admire these people and a strong bond was established with them. 5 VOLUME 4 • JUMAADAL UKHRA 1438 THE GARDENS OF MADEENA SHAREEF THE POETRY of Aarif Billah Hazrat-e Aqdas Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammed Akhtar Saheb Commentary by Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel Sahib Prepared by Maulana Muhammed Desai Sahib AN-NOOR MAGAZINE GULISTANE TAIBA- PART 3 Gunaaho se upne me ranjoor hoo(n)gaa I will express great remorse, great regret and great shame over my sins, weaknesses, shortcomings and faults I will express great remorse, great regret and great shame over my sins, weaknesses, shortcomings and faults. When I present myself, I will be ashamed of myself. I will have nadaamat (regret)in my heart. I will regret why I committed those sins. I will not express any kind of happiness in the evil actions and deeds that I had engaged in during my life. So, many of us go there with no real intention of giving up those sins. We don’t even have the intention of giving up watching T.v. when we come back, watching all the filth, listening to music, the porn sites, illicit beloveds. So many make phone calls to their illicit beloveds from Madeena Shareef, sms messages are sent to them, Eid Mubarak messages are sent to them, hadya and gifts are brought for them from Madeena Shareef. Will this be Ziyaarat? Will we say that this person is Ranjoor over his sins, that he is sad, he is expressing remorse and regret over his sins. Even from Arafaat, messages are sent to illicit beloveds. No intentions are made to delete anything. A Muslim can never be happy and satisfied over a life of sins. There is no question of happiness in sins for a Muslim and a Mu’min. Yes, as a Muslim and a Mu’min we can make mistakes, slip and fault. The greatest Waliullah can also slip sometimes. But the Tauba of that person will also be of that level. There will be no happiness at all. Immediately after the person has slipped, he will be restless. The person will not be able to eat, drink, laugh, smile, and joke until the person has shed tears of regret and remorse in front of Allah Ta’ala and expresses his regret and Nadaamat that, “Oh Allah, you have blessed me with so many bounties and ni’mats and I have used 7 VOLUME 4 • JUMAADAL UKHRA 1438 your bounties and ni’mats, be it the gift of sight, hearing, speech, wealth etc. for your disobedience. What kind of a transgressor am i?!” Now, the person will cry and will feel and sense in his heart as if a voice is telling him, “My Banda (My Slave)! I have accepted your Tauba!” It will be as if the person will feel that Allah Ta’ala has accepted his Tauba. Then only, will he enjoy his meal again, he will be smiling and joking. But these are accidental sins which we are discussing. A person of such great calibre: Hazrat Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Sahib (RA) writes in this Naath Shareef: Gunaaho se upne me ranjoor hoo(n)gaa I will express great remorse, great regret and great shame over my sins, weaknesses, shortcomings and faults Whereas he is an Aarif Billah (one who has recognised Allah Ta’ala), acknowledged by the Auliyaa of the time as Aarif Billah. Great Muhad- ditheen, Mufassireen and senior Ulama have taken Bay’at upon his hands and are making Islah of their nafs. A poet very beautifully mentions that, “Oh My Allah! My sins are so bur- densome and so weighty. I have committed so many sins that they have be- come like mountains. They have become very weighty upon my shoulders. They are so weighty that they have not enabled me to walk to my grave. Therefore I am on the shoulders of people because I cannot walk on my feet due to the weight and burden of my sins which I have committed in my life. Oh My Beloved Allah, I am so ashamed of the sins I have commit- ted that I cannot show my face to anybody any more, therefore my face is also covered with my kafan. I have covered my face with my kafan out of shame and nadaamat.” 8 AN-NOOR MAGAZINE This is something which Allah Ta’ala loves.

  • Conflicts in Islam on the 'Periphery': Doctrines, Cultures, Politics
    Conflicts in Islam on the Asian and African 'Periphery': Doctrines, Cultures, and Politics Dietrich Reetz Zentrum Moderner Orient, Berlin, Germany Although Islam emerged as a religion of the book in the Arabian Peninsula, it has since become a global phenomenon spanning different regions and cultures across the world. From this perspective the history and development of Islam can be read as a struggle between consistency and diversity. On one side, it has been a remarkable achievement to maintain the relative coherence of the practice and belief systems of Islam over such vast distances. On the other, its divergent interpretations and prac- tices have repeatedly threatened to disrupt the common framework of references. The aim of this chapter is to discuss conflict on the ‘periphery’ of Islam in terms of this inner-Islamic dialogue that has shaped much of Islamic mobilisation.1 Different trends emerged that at once followed a general pattern while at the same time questioning this pattern and its validity. Consequently we have to grapple with sweeping gener- alisations. To grasp the complexity of the issue we will have to question these very assumptions highlighting their inconsistencies and counter-currents. Centre and Periphery The polarisation between the Arabian roots of Islam and its global spread has given rise to the problematic assumption that in Islam we can clearly distinguish between a centre and a periphery. Such dichotomy reflected the juxtaposition between the tradi- tional ‘centres of Islam’ in Arabia, with Mecca and Medina occupying a special place of pride, and the role and power of scholars, leaders and followers of Islam to inter- pret and practice it as a religion in vastly diverse circumstances on the so-called pe- riphery.
