The most blessed night!

Dear Islamic brothers! It is the 12^th of Rabi’-ul-Awwal 1438 AH. It is a very blessed night. Millions of thanks to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ Who has blessed us with this sacred night once again. This is the night in which the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was born in this world.

بُجھ گئیں جس کے آگے سبھی مشعلیں

شمع وہ لے کر آیا ہمارا نبی

Dear Islamic brothers! Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has granted the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم all excellent characteristics, and has created him free from every fault and defect. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the most respected person. Many eras and ages have passed, but none will ever appear with such a high rank and status. In today’s Bayan, we would have the privilege of listening to the great rank and status of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم as described by other Ambiya عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام. Let’s first listen to a beautiful couplet of Imam-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, Maulana Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه:

تِرے خُلق کو حق نے عظیم کہا تِری خِلق کو حق نے جمیل کیا

کوئی تجھ سا ہوا ہے نہ ہوگا شہا ترے خالقِ حُسن و اَدا کی قسم

Glory of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم as described by Sayyiduna Musa

The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: The book ‘Tawrah’ was revealed to Sayyiduna Musa عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام. Having read about an Ummah in the sacred book, he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام humbly said: O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! I have read in the Tawrah about such an Ummah that will appear in the end and will surpass all [i.e. be better than all previous Ummahs]. O my Lord عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Make it my Ummah. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ said: ‘تِلْکَ اُمَّۃُ اَحْمَدْ’ i.e., that is the Ummah of Ahmad (صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم). Sayyiduna Musa عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام humbly said: I have read in the Tawrah about such an Ummah that will pray to the Almighty عَزَّوَجَلَّ and their prayers will be answered.     Make it my Ummah. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ said: ‘تِلْکَ اُمَّۃُ اَحْمَدْ’ that is the Ummah of Ahmad
