Demise and burial

On Friday 4^th Zul Hijja-til-Haraam 1401 AH (2^nd October 1981), as the Muazzin of Masjid-e-Nabawi Shareef recited اَللہُ اَکْبَرْ اَللہُ اَکْبَرْ, Sayyidi Qutb-e-Madinah رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه recited Kalimah Shareef and his soul left his body. After being given a Ghusl (ritual bath), his shroud was washed with that sacred water, which was used for Ghusl of the blessed grave of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and various relics were kept with him, and then the blessed shroud was tied. The blessed bier was lifted after Salah-tul-Asr amongst the blessed sounds of Durood and Salaam and Qasidah Burdah Shareef and according to his wish, he was laid to rest in Jannat-ul-Baqi, in close proximity of Ahl-e-Bayt-e-Athaar عَلَیْہِمُ الرِّضْوَان. (Sayyidi Qutb-e-Madinah, pp. 17)

Sunnahs and etiquette of Qurbani

Dear Islamic brothers! Let’s listen to the etiquette and Sunnahs of Qurbani (sacrifice). First, listen to 2 blessed sayings of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:

1. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: “The person who does Qurbani is rewarded one good deed for every hair of the animal of Qurbani.” (Tirmizi, vol. 3, pp. 162, Hadees 1498)

2. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: “Whosoever has the capability of performing Qurbani yet he doesn’t do so should not even come close to our Eid-gah (where Eid Salah is offered).” (Ibn-e-Majah, vol. 3, pp. 529, Hadees 3123)

٭ Qurbani is Wajib upon every adult residing Muslim man and woman who possess wealth/assets equivalent to the Nisaab. (Fatawa Hindiyyah, vol. 5, pp. 292)

٭ If Qurbani is Wajib upon a person and he does not have the money at that time, he must take out a loan or sell something in order to sacrifice an animal.

(Fatawa Amjadiyyah, vol. 3, pp. 315; summarised)
