To give
a vivid account of his teachings, a team of teachers is
required as he was skilled in all sciences. For detailed
study of his teachings, please study "Talimat-i-A‘lahazrat"
written by Hazrat Mawlana Muhammad Meekayeel Ziayee,
published from Al-Mujahid Academy, Kanpur. Some of his
teachings are as under:
|
A‘lahazrat
has given us a lesson of love for the Holy Prophet
(Allah’s Grace and Peace be upon him). It is his teaching
of teachings. A‘lahazrat is a by word for the Holy
Prophet’s love. He practiced love. He preached love. He
admired love. He loved the love. This is why Hazrat
Obaidullah Khan ‘Azami calls him "Imam-i-Ishq-o-Muhabbat"
(Leader of Love). In the eyes of A‘lahazrat, Iman is
the name of love with Holy Prophet (Allah’s Grace and
Peace be upon him). Love means utter love, that is, love
without any element of disrespect. According to A‘lahazrat,
love and disrespect cannot co-exist. A Muslim is not a
Muslim unless he loves the Holy Prophet (Allah’s Grace and
Peace be upon him) by heart and mind and mind and heart. The
more he loves, the more perfect Muslim he happens to be.
A‘lahazrat
has given us a lesson that the Holy Prophet (Allah’s Grace
and Peace be upon him) is certainly a man but such a man
that there is no man like him. The opponents of A‘lahazrat
say that he has denied the man-hood of Holy Prophet
(Allah’s Grace and Peace be upon him) altogether. It is
wrong and totally wrong. A‘lahazrat has declared in very
clear terms that whosoever denies the manhood of Holy
Prophet (Allah’s Grace and Peace be upon him) altogether,
is Kafir. It is funny that everybody calls his
beloved matchless. Then why can’t we call the Mehboob
of Allah, that is, Holy Prophet (Allah’s Grace and
Peace be upon him) matchless? A‘lahazrat himself writes
the Holy Prophet (Allah’s Grace and Peace be upon him) to
be a man but a matchless one. He says as translated:
From
top to bottom grace of Allah he is
Like him no man, such a man he is.
Qur‘an holds him to be Imam.
And Iman says its soul he is.

Gifted Knowledge of The Holy Prophet
A‘lahazrat
has given us a lesson that the knowledge of Holy Prophet
(Allah’s Grace and Peace be upon him) was gifted knowledge
from Allah. It is wrong to say that A‘lahazrat has said
otherwise. A'lahazrat declares: Ilm-i-Zati (Personal
knowledge) is a feature of Allah only. For non-Allah, it is
strictly impossible and whosoever accepts even an iota of Ilm-i-Zati
for non-Allah, he is a Kafir.
[d]
Infinite Knowledge of Allah
A‘lahazrat
has given us a lesson that the knowledge of Holy Prophet
(Allah’s Grace and Peace be upon him) is no match for
knowledge of Allah and the knowledge of entire creation in
no match for Holy Prophet’s (Allah’s Grace and Peace be
upon him) knowledge. He has made it clear in unequivocal
terms that the knowledge of the Holy Prophet (Allah’s
Grace and Peace be upon him) has no relation or comparison
whatsoever with that of Allah, the Most High. Not only this,
A‘lahazrat clarifies to the extent that if the knowledge
of all Awwaleen (the ancients) to Akhreen is
put together, even then this aggregate knowledge can have no
such relation with the knowledge Allah which a 1/1 core of a
drop may have with a core of oceans because such relation is
of finite with finite, where as the knowledge of Allah is
infinite. Finite can have no relation with infinite,
A‘lahazrat elaborates.
Now
after such micro-scanning put forth by A‘lahazrat, can
anybody still feel anything wrong about A‘lahazrat. Thanks
to A‘lahazrat, even from Mathematical angle, calculators
with fail to calculate as to what has been said by
A‘lahazrat exactly. How many drops does an ocean suppose
to contain? Even taking a core drops only, the figure to be
arrived at, as he talks of core oceans would be as under:
This
figure though too negligible is not even exact as it is
based on mere assumption regarding number of drops in an
ocean. The exact figure is incalculable and if it is
calculable, then A‘lahazrat says “not to this extent
even”. In the nutshell, A‘lahazrat admits that the
knowledge of Holy Prophet (Allah’s Grace and Peace be upon
him) is nothing before the knowledge of Allah but he does
not admit that the knowledge of Holy Prophet (Allah’s
Grace and Peace be upon him) is nothing before the knowledge
of the Devil as is admitted and propagated by the Deobandi savants. After all, one can acknowledge the knowledge of
someone according to one’s own knowledge.
A‘lahazrat
has given us a lesson that the Holy Prophet (Allah’s Grace
and Peace be upon him) possessed the knowledge of Ghayb (the
unseen) as given by Allah, that is, certain amount of
knowledge not total knowledge. Allah bestows the knowledge
of unseen (Ilm-i-Ghayb) to the selected ones as
clarified in the Holy Qur‘an. Qur‘an says:-"And
this messenger is not miserly in telling about the knowledge
of the unseen". There are so many verses in the Holy
Qur’an, which tell about the knowledge of unseen given to
the Holy Prophet (Allah’s Grace and Peace be upon him).
Allah was not short of Ilm-i-Ghayb to give it to the
Holy Prophet (Allah’s Grace and Peace be upon him) and the
Holy Prophet (Allah’s Grace and Peace be upon him) was not
short of anything from Allah. How much Allah may have gifted
and how Prophet (Allah’s Grace and Peace be upon him) may
have got, A‘lahazrat presents a beautiful idea about it.
What makes one not gift, A‘lahazrat has solved. He has
attributed three reasons to it:
(i) If
the donor is not competent to make a gift.
(ii) If
the donee is not competent to receive a gift.
(iii) If
the donor wishes to preserve it for somebody else, that is,
if the donor feels that he would lose what he would gift.
A‘lahazrat
goes on to say that as far as gift from Allah to the Holy
Prophet (Allah’s Grace and Peace be upon him) is
concerned, all these three factors can create no obstruction
what so ever. As for the competence to make gift, Allah has
the absolute power to gift. Who can check Him from making
the gift if He desires? As far as competence of the donee is
concerned, ours is the chosen Prophet of Allah. He is Mehboob
of Allah. He is Ahmad as well as Muhammad (Allah’s
Grace and Peace be upon him). That is to say, he is
one who praises Allah most and he is one who is praised most
by Allah, the very question of his being incompetent to
receive a gift from Him does not arise. As regards the third
point, our Prophet is the Last Prophet and, hence, there is
no occasion for Allah to preserve Ilm-i-Ghayb for any
subsequent Prophet. If a man makes a gift, he loses that
much of his possession. But unlike man, Allah never loses
anything. Thus, there being no factor at all to obstruct the
gift, Allah knows better how much Ilm-i-Ghayb He may
have gifted to Holy Prophet (Allah’s Grace and Peace be
upon him) or the Holy Prophet (Allah’s Grace and Peace be
upon him) knows better how much Ilm-i-Ghayb he may
have been gifted. Who has the power to question it?
A‘lahazrat has elaborated this point very scholarly in his
book Al-Dawla al-Makkiyya fi Madda al-Ghaybiyya
written in Arabic at Mecca in 1324/1906. Prof. Dr. Muhammad
Hanif Akhtar Fatmi of London University elaborated the views
of A'lahazrat on Ilm-i-Ghayb in his book Islamic
concept of Knowledge".
A‘lahazrat
has given us a lesson not to make a sajdah (prostration)
before anyone other than Allah. Sajdah before
non-Allah is strictly inadmissible in Islam. A‘lahazrat
makes it clear that sajdah of worship before
non-Allah amounts to Kufr, where as sajdah of
respect before non-Allah is inadmissible. A‘lahazrat says
that sajdah before a Mazar is Haram. It is
wrong to say that according to A‘lahazrat, sajdah before
non-Allah is permissible. What to say of sajdah before Mazar,
A‘lahazrat does not permit even to kiss it.
He advises the people to stand before Mazar at a
distance of about yards or so. The stand of A‘lahazrat is
clear. What do the people actually do at Mazars,
A‘lahazrat is not responsible for that. No savant of the
world has ever allowed drinking or gambling to the people
but the people do so. Then what to do? As they do, so shall
they reap? Savants are supposed to teach the people; they
are not supposed to run after the people. A‘lahazrat has
not allowed to lay chadar (sheet of cloth) or to
light up the candles on the tombs of Tom, Dick and Harry. He
has allowed doing so only on the tombs of Aulia and
Ulčma with some reasonable restrictions. A‘lahazrat
has written a lot against bid‘a (innovations).

A‘lahazrat
kindled the torch of sunnah in the sub continents. It
is a fact admitted by the scholars and savants of the world.
Sunni Islam is the true Islam, true religion and the
only religion. The anti Islam lobbies try their best to
disintegrate the unity of Ahl-i-Sunnat. Please
remember the last word of advice by A'lahazrat feltmen!
"You are the simple and innocent sheep of dear Mustafa
(Allah’s Grace and Peace be upon him) and walrus are
around you. They want you to drag you to Hell with them.
Beware of them! Be far from them!" The only targets of
the anti Islam lobby are the Sunnis and the Sunni
states throughout the World. For the Sunnis it has
coined the terms of fundamentalist, Militant, Terrorist etc.
etc.
Dr.
Muhammad Haroon a newly converted Muslim of UK rightly says:
"The real key to the future of Islam is to realize the
value of Sunni Islam and restore it. Sunni
Islam sets up the rule of Allah alone. This is something
infinitely precious. It is something beyond price..... I
pray that my readers may come back to Sunni Islam and
if they are already Sunni I pray that they work hard
to show to the World the beauty of Sunni Islam and
work hard to set up the rule of Allah alone. This was the
aim of the Prophet (Peace and blessing of Allah be upon
him), this was also the aim of such great Sunni
Muslims as Imam Ghazali and Imam Ahmad Riza Khan Bareilwi".
