WHY MUSLIMS LOVE ASADUDDIN OWAISI...!!!

If any good thing has happened to Indian Muslims after the Indian independence, that is the rise of Indian politician Asaduddin Owaisi. This Muslim leader had to rise, and this didn’t happen just like that. The worsening situation of Muslims in political and social arena was the trigger that gave us Asaduddin Owaisi.

This 47-year-old Muslim politician from Hyderabad is, in fact, is the only answer to the fire-brand Hindu leaders like Subramanian Swami, Praveen Togadia, Yogi Adityanath, Raj Thackeray, Sakshi Maharaj, Mohan Bhagwat and many more.

Well, Owaisi is not just the answer or the one who just answers, he questions too. He perhaps is the only leader who has raised his voice against the atrocities on Muslims; perhaps the only leader who dared to ask the reservation for down-trodden Muslims; he perhaps is the only leader who DOESN’T FEAR to speak for Muslims for their common rights.

Asaduddin Owaisi has given the Indian Muslims the biggest weapon: HOPE.

Now Muslims are more aware of their social, political and economical condition than they were before. Indian Muslims cannot and should not expect Asaduddin Owaisi to change their all political, social and economical conditions; he certainly cannot do this alone. But he certainly can do it by filling the ray of hopes among the Indian Muslims.

It is a misconception that most Muslims don’t like Asaduddin Owaisi and his politics; it would be like saying that most Hindus don’t like Politics of Amit Shah and Mohan Bhagwat. Muslims, out of fear, certainly express their resentment with Asaduddin Owaisi, and he is here to break the same fear. This is the same fear Muslims have been living under since the independence. He is here to teach them not to fear.

In the Indian political arena, Asaduddin Owaisi is nothing more than a VOICE. He doesn’t lead huge masses across the country, he doesn’t have the huge political mandate; all he has is a VOICE. A voice Muslims have been longing for since ages.

He calls himself ‘gali ka leader’ (a leader of ghettos), and he certainly is, as he is being heard mostly in Muslims ghettos. Muslims youth are being inspired by him, and this can be seen on social media. He doesn’t have his party’s offices in Bihar, Utter Pradesh and Assam but his party’s flag, his photos and his quotes are there on the Facebook pages of Muslims youngsters.

He is not a sympathizer of Pakistan and terrorism; he talks about nationalism and warns Indian Muslims to stay away from terrorism. He teaches India belongs to Muslims as equally as it belongs to Hindus. He believes in a secular country, and he wants to keep India a secular country. And this is why he and his party (AIMIM) have supports from Muslims as well as the downtrodden Hindu community (popularly known as Dalits).

With the rise of Asaduddin Owaisi one can hope that Muslims do not need controversial Muslim leaders like Laloo Prasad, Mulayam Singh or Sonia Gandhi, but they need a true Muslim leader who can speak for their rights without fear.

Miracle of Al-Isra and Al-Miraj..!!

There is no doubt that our Supreme Lord, Allah (SWT) did not create this universe in vain. He created it and all it contains for the benefit of His creatures in common and for His devoted and pious slaves in particular. And He created us for the sole purpose of worshiping Him Alone without ascribing partners or setting up rivals to Him. Hence, He sent Prophets and Messengers to clarify the Message and convey it to their people. He blessed them with different miracles and signs to prove their Messenger ship and Prophet-hood and as followers the mankind are instructed to believe in them and the miracles they were given and blessed with.

Our beloved Prophet and Messenger, Muhammad (PBUH) was also blessed with many miracles. Al-Isra and Al-Miraj (The Prophet’s miraculous night journey) is one of those great miracles.

Why it took place?

After the death of Abu Talib (Prophet’s uncle) and the mother of the believers Khadijah (RA), Quriash became more vile and harsh in their harm and persecution. The Prophet (PBUH) went to AT-Taif, conveying the Message of Islam and hoping for help and support from its inhabitants, but instead he (PBUH) received a hostile and harsh welcome from its people and their leaders. They not only refused to accept the true message of Islam, but also hurt him with severe injuries, they blooded his face and sent their messenger to Quraish, informing them about his calling to Islam. As a result, the Prophet (PBUH) entered his hometown Makkah under the protection of a disbelieving man. By occurring such sad events, this year was known as the Year of Grief. But then such unpleasant events came to an end and relief came to the Prophet (PBUH). A miraculous night journey occurred, a journey from the Sacred Mosque (in Makkah) to Jerusalem and then to the heavens.

When Al-Isra and Al-Miraj took place?

As for its exact date and day, historians have different opinions about it. The following views are some of them which indicate when it occurred:

• At-Tabari said: The Night Journey occurred during the year in which Allah (SWT) honoured His Prophet (PBUH) with Prophethood.
• Al-Qurtubi and An-Nawawi preferred that it took place five years after the beginning of the Prophethood.
• A well-known writer of biography of the Prophet (PBUH), Allamah Mansurpuri preferred that it was the night of 27^th of Rajab during tenth year of the Prophethood.
• Some said that it was 16 months prior to the migration to Al-Madinah.
• It occurred one year and two months prior to the migration to Al-Madinah.
• Others said that it was one year prior to the migration.

The Story of Al-Isra and Al-Miraj:

From Makkah to Bait Al-Maqdis:

According to the authentic and correct view, the Prophet (PBUH) was carried physically from The Sacred Mosque in Makkah to Bait Al-Maqdis in Jerusalem, riding on Al-Buraq (an animal bigger than a donkey and smaller than a horse on which the Prophet (PBUH) went for the night journey) in the company of Jibreel (AS). On the way to Bait Al-Maqdis the passed by the grave of Musa (AS) while he was standing in his grave praying. After they reached to Bait Al-Maqdis, they alighted, tied the horse to a ring in the gate of the Masjid, where the Prophets used to tie their horses and led the Prophets in prayer. After prayer the Prophet (PBUH) came out of the Masjid and Jibreel (AS) presented him a vessel of milk and a vessel of alcohol, the Prophet (PBUH) looked at both vessels and chose the milk to drink. On doing this Jibreel (AS) said to the Prophet (PBUH): “You have chosen Al-Fitrah (i.e., Islam, uprightness).”

From Bait Al-Maqdis to the Heavens:

The lowest heaven:

Then, during that night he ascended from Bait Al-Maqdis to the lowest heaven. Jibreel (AS) sought permission to enter, it was opened to them and the Prophet (PBUH) met Adam (AS), greeted him, Adam (AS) welcomed our beloved Prophet (PBUH) and expressed his faith in Muhammad’s Prophethood.

The 2^nd heaven:

Then, they ascended to the 2^nd heaven, where the Prophet (PBUH) met Yahya (AS) and Isa(AS) . He (PBUH) greeted them and they returned his greeting, welcomed him and expressed their faith in his Prophethood.

The 3^rd heaven:

Next, they ascended to the 3^rd heaven, they entered and the Prophet (PBUH) met Yusuf (AS), he greeted him & returned the greeting and expressed faith in his Prophethood.

The 4^th heaven:

Next, they ascended to the 4^th heaven, they entered, and the Prophet (PBUH) met Idris (AS), the Prophet (PBUH) greeted him, and he returned the greeting and similarly expressed his faith in the Prophet’s (PBUH) Prophethood.

The 5^th heaven:

Then, the Prophet (PBUH) was carried to the 5^th heaven, and there he met Haroon (Aaron) (AS), the Prophet (PBUH) greeted him, and he returned the greeting and expressed faith in his Prophethood.

The 6^th heaven:

Then, he was carried to the 6^th heaven, there he met Musa (Moses) (AS), the Prophet (PBUH) greeted him, he returned the greeting and expressed faith in his Prophethood. On leaving the 6^thheaven, Prophet Moses (AS) cried. Our beloved Prophet (PBUH) asked about the cry? Moses (AS) answered: “I cry because a youth that was sent after me will have more people from his nation enter Paradise than will enter it from my nation.”

The 7^th heaven:

Next, the Prophet (PBUH) was ascended to the 7^th heaven, where he met Ibrahim (Abraham) (AS), the Prophet (PBUH) greeted him, and he returned the greeting and expressed faith in his Prophethood.

Bait Al-Mamoor:

Then, bait al-Mamoor was shown to the Prophet (PBUH) (the much frequented house) circumambulated daily by seventy thousand angels, so that the angels who once circumambulated it would not have their turn again till the Resurrection.

Sidratul-Muntaha:

Jibreel (AS) carried the Prophet (PBUH) to Sidratul-Muntaha (lote-tree of the utmost boundary, beyond which none can pass). Its fruits were like the large jars of Hajar.

The obligation of five daily prayers:

Next, the five daily prayers were made compulsory by Allah (SWT) to this nation. At beginning they were fifty prayers for each and every day. On return the Prophet (PBUH) met Moses (AS) once again and he asked the Prophet (PBUH): “What were you commanded with?” The Prophet (PBUH) said: “I was commanded to perform fifty prayers each and every day.” Moses (AS) asked the Prophet (PBUH) to go back to your Lord and ask Him to decrease (the number of prayers) for you nation. The Prophet (PBUH) went back many times until the number of prayers decreased to five daily compulsory prayers.

The return:

After the completion of the night journey, the Prophet (PBUH) returned to his hometown Makkah. In the morning he (PBUH) told the polytheists about it. They mocked, quarreled and as usual disbelieved in this great miracle.

The role of Abu Bakr and his achievement of the title “As-Siddeeq”:

The Prophet’s miraculous night journey ended up being a difficult test for certain people who had believed in the Prophet’s calling to Islam, a test that some of them failed, for they ended up apostatizing. Some people went to Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq (RA) and said to him: “Will you not go to your companion (the Prophet PBUH)? He claims that he made a journey during the night to Jerusalem!” Abu Bakr (RA) said: “And did he say that?” They said: “Yes.” Abu Bakr said: “if he said that, then has spoken the truth.”  On such occasion the title of As-Siddeeq (the Truthful One) was given to him by the Prophet (PBUH).

The purpose the journey:

There are various purposes behind this miraculous journey. The main purpose was that Allah (SWT) wanted to grant His Prophet (PBUH) a chance to see some clear and vivid signs of His Almighty Power, so that the Prophet’s heart could become comforted and filled with trust in Him, and so that His Messenger (PBUH) could increase in strength, strength that he would need to carry on his struggle against the polytheists and disbelievers of Makkah and beyond.

In short, since there is no proof to the contrary, as Muslims, we certainly believe that the Prophet (PBUH) made the night journey both in spirit and body. We reject the claim of those who say that it was a journey of the soul rather than the body. But, Allah (SWT) stated the reality of the Prophet’s journey in His Glorious Book in such way:

“Glorified (and Exalted) be He (Allah) [above all that (evil) they associate with Him] Who took His slave (Muhammad SAW) for a journey by night from Al-Masjid-al-Haram (at Makkah) to the farthest mosque (in Jerusalem), the neighborhood whereof We have blessed, in order that We might show him (Muhammad SAW) of Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, etc.). Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.” (Al-Isra 17:1)
