Book Name:Aashiqon ka Safr e Madina

Answer to this evil suspicion

Remember! Though it is an ordinary animal but beating him unnecessarily is forbidden as it is mentioned on page 660 volume 3 of the 1197-page book Bahar-e-Shari’at, a publication of Maktaba-tul-Madinah: ‘To hit an animal unnecessarily and hitting it especially on the face or head is prohibited according to consensus.’ And so far as concerned to showing graceful behaviour towards a dog, always keep this in mind that when something bears Nisbah (connection), it attains significance of high esteem and it raises its respect to the unlimited measure such as the dog of Ashaab-e-Kahf which had earned great significance due to the blessed company of those people who love  Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, it is for this reason that the Glorious Quran also mentions it and that dog will also enter Jannah as the renowned commentator of the Glorious Quran, Hakeem-ul-Ummat Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الْـحَـنَّان has stated: There are some animals which will be blessed with Heaven:

 

1.         Qaswa, the she-camel of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

2.         The dog of the Ashaab-e-Kahf (the people of the cave).

3.         The she-camel of Sayyiduna Saalih عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام.

4.         The donkey of Sayyiduna ‘Isa عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام.

آپ کی گلیوں کے کُتّوں پہ تَصَدُّق جاؤں                    کہ مدینے کے وہ کُوچوں میں پِھرا کرتے ہیں

آپ کی گلیوں کے کُتّے مجھ سے تو اچّھے رہے       ہے سُکوں اُن کو مُیَسَّر سبز گُنبد دیکھ کر

 

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

O pain of Madinah! Stay in my heart

The renowned commentator, Hakeem-ul-Ummat Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan     عَـلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ الـرَّحْمٰن enjoyed the privilege going for Hajj in 1390 AH.
