Hadith no.250

Sahih Hadith regarding Hajj being means of getting freed from Sins

He reported God’s messenger as saying, “If anyone performs the pilgrimage for God’s sake without talking immodestly or acting wickedly, he will return [free from sin] as on the day his mother bore him.” [Mishqat al-Masbih 2507]

Hadith no.251

Hadith regarding Applying perfume before entering the state of Ihram

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Messenger of Allah PBUH, reported:

I applied perfume to the Messenger of Allah PBUH with my own hand before he entered upon the state of Ihram, and as he concluded it before circumbulating the House (for Tawaf-i-lfada). [Sahih Muslim 1189b]

Hadith regarding constantly reciting Talbiya on the morning of day of Nahr before doing Rami

Narrated Ubaidullah bin Abdullah:

Ibn Abbas said, "Usama bin Zaid rode behind the Prophet PBUH from Arafat to Al-Muzdalifa; and then from Al-Muzdalifa to Mina, Al-Fadl rode behind him." He added, "Both of them (Usama and Al-Fadl) said, 'The Prophet PBUH was constantly reciting Talbiya till he did Rami of the Jamarat-Al-Aqaba." [Sahih al-Bukhari 1687]

Rami al-Jamarat(“Stoning of the Jamarat”), sometimes referred to as the “Stoning of the Devil,” is a rite performed by Hajj pilgrims in which small pebbles are thrown at three stone structures in Mina. The act of throwing stones at the Jamarat is known as 'Rami'.

How can the Muslim Ummah use Hajj to create unity among themselves and resolve there problems?

                            Congratulations to all those Muslim brothers and sisters performing Hajj this year. May Allah accept your Hajj. May Allah give those people the opportunity to perform Hajj next year who couldn't do so this year. In your prayers, don't forget the suffering of your Muslim brothers and sisters, especially the Palestinians, Kashmiris, Syrians, Uyghur Muslims, Rohingya Muslim community, Indian Muslims and the Muslims suffering in Africa and other parts of the world. You are among those people who have been granted a chance by Allah to visit his house. If we think of Hajj, then it has great significance beyond just performing certain rituals. It is a gathering of over 20 million pilgrims from different backgrounds, ethnicities, and different parts of the world. This should be taken as an opportunity to strengthen the brotherhood among Muslims. We as Muslims should use this opportunity to mobilize ourselves and solve the problems faced by the Muslim Ummah. This should be used as an opportunity to exchange ideas to resolve the challenges faced by the Ummah. We should seek help only from Allah Almighty. We should mobilize ourselves and our fellow Muslim brothers and sisters against any problem at hand faced by the Muslim world. Each pilgrim should take this opportunity to contribute to solving major challenges faced by Muslim Ummah. They should exchange ideas among themselves for the possible solutions to problems the Ummah is facing at the moment. Hajj is one of the most important pillars of Islam but resolving the problems faced by your Muslim brothers and sisters is also important. As all Muslims are brothers regardless of there ethnicities so they should exchange there personal details like phone numbers or Facebook ID etc. to keep in contact with one another so that we can help our brothers as much as we can when they are in a dire situation. If the Hajj pilgrims can take selfies of the Kaaba to record these memorable moments and make videos of themselves then I am sure they can also use this opportunity to strengthen there ties with other Muslims of various backgrounds and ethnicities to do something which will actually be beneficial for the Ummah and also make Allah happy. They can share there thoughts or views on the constantly evolving situation of the world and its impact on the Muslim Ummah. If this happens we would get closer to one another and our brotherly bond would be a force that no one would dare to recon with. We can use this power to create strong narrative on social media just like the West does and we could compete against there false narrative in a much better way. 

     For example, today, the biggest problem faced by the Ummah is the Palestinian issue. Just think what this gathering of over 2 million pilgrims can do for the Palestinian cause. They can raise awareness among themselves on this issue, and they can also exchange ideas and ways to urge the leaders of the Muslim Ummah to take some concrete steps for the Palestinians rather than just making statements. When these pilgrims go back to their respective countries, they can create awareness among their people. They can make the governments of their respective countries realize that issuing statements against Israel won't help that much. Just see how much West is supporting Israel, and if we compare the support of Muslim countries for Palestinians, then our support is not even 10 percent of their support for Israel. Just think how much impact it will have not only on the Muslim world but on the rest of the world too. It would help us to solve not only the Palestinian issue but all major challenges faced by Ummah such as poverty, sectarian violence, lack of education, Islamophobia, etc. It will give a message to the enemies of Islam that despite some differences, we Muslims are still united against all odds as one strong nation united by the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad SAW.

India-Pakistan War

      In this article I have written about India-Pakistan war.

     I won't write much about the current situation of the war because the situation would keep on evolving so it is quite difficult for me to update you in this. If you want to know about the current situation of the war then you can get updates on credible media outlets like Al Jazeera or TRT World etc. I would briefly explain to you about the situation as of now 12:34p.m(PST) on Saturday. On Saturday morning at 2a.m(PST) India launched missile attacks on various Pakistani cities and Military bases which were intercepted successfully by the Pakistani military. Pakistan launched its retaliatory operation named operation 'Bunyan al Marsoos'(Meaning Concrete structure in Arabic) at 5a.m after which major Indian military bases in the north and north west have been damaged quite a lot. I would recommend to follow neutral media outlets rather then Pakistani or Indian media outlets so that you can get updated from more credible sources.

Role of Rest of the Ummah in the India-Pakistan War

        This is a great opportunity for Muslims around the world to become united as an Ummah. Pakistan's military has shown that it is enough to tackle Indian Military but rest of the Ummah should ally with Pakistan because surely the West would ally with India. The OIC and rest of major Muslim countries should help Pakistan curb the diplomatic pressure imposed on it by the West. Pakistani leadership in the past has a history of faltering under western pressure so the Ummah should give a loud and clear message to the West that the Ummah will not leave Pakistan alone in this situation. The Ummah has unfortunately failed the Palestinians by not taking any concrete steps for them except for sending aid or lip service but now the Ummah should not waste this opportunity. The West should know that how powerful Muslims are when we are united as an Ummah. We should re-establish our unity as an Ummah and we should use this unity to counter the genocide and brutal oppression that Muslims are facing in Palestine, Myanmar, India, Kashmir, East Turkistan and Africa etc. There are 57 Muslim majority countries so if we are united we can establish our own World order which runs on Shariah and would be a role model to the rest of the world as well. This is what Allah has said in Quran about unity and brotherhood:

"The believers are but one brotherhood, so make peace between your brothers. And be mindful of Allah so you may be shown mercy." [Surah Al-Hujurat Verse no.10]

What can Pakistan and rest of the Ummah learn from this?

     A lesson which Pakistan can learn from this is that now they have known that how capable they are in terms of military might. There were many Pakistani Intellectuals, Politicians and Military officers who use to make excuses when they were asked to help Palestinians militarily. They use to make excuses like 'there economy is in poor shape', 'they have bad law and order situation' or excuses like the 'Political situation in Pakistan is not good enough to challenge Israel'. Now when India has attacked Pakistan none of them are thinking about the Political or Economic situation of the country. I do acknowledge these problems but despite these problems as of now Pakistani Military has responded quite well to India's aggression. Another interesting fact that should be kept in mind is that many Pakistani intellectuals wanted to avoid the Israel-Palestine war but they should know that the very war which they wanted to avoid is right at there doorstep as the drones with which India attacked Pakistan on Wednesday were all Israeli made Harop drones so will Pakistani authorities still not do anything for the Palestinians? This means that if you have an existential threat like this then you don't think about your political or economic situation you just do what is best to counter that threat. Similarly the Palestinians and Yemenis are also our brothers as we are united because of being an Ummah. There is no difference between a Pakistani or a Palestinian or a Yemeni so just like we are responding to India's aggression we should also respond to the threats the rest of the are facing. There is a Hadith of Prophet Muhammad SAW

Narrated An-Numan bin Bashir:

Allah's Messenger SAW said, "You see the believers as regards their being merciful among themselves and showing love among themselves and being kind, resembling one body, so that, if any part of the body is not well then the whole body shares the sleeplessness (insomnia) and fever with it." [Sahih al-Bukhari 6011]

     Similarly this is a lesson for rest of the Ummah as well that if any other Muslim country is attacked by any of its neighbors then it won't think about its own economic or political crisis but it would only do what it takes to tackle that situation. This is how each and every Muslim country should  think like  for rest of the Ummah that if any of there brotherly Muslim country is in crisis or undergoing a brutal oppression by any other Non Muslim country then they should not think about what crisis they are going internally but only do whatever is best to help there  brotherly Muslim country as according to above-mentioned Hadith Muslims are like a single body. There is another Hadith of Prophet Muhammad SAW regarding brotherhood:

Narrated Abdullah bin Umar:

Allah's Messenger SAW said, "A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection . " [Sahih al-Bukhari 2442]

Another important thing is that we as Muslims should keep in mind is the fact that we are forbidden to sacrifice our lives for nationalism or tribalism. There is a Hadith of Prophet Muhammad SAW in which he says;

It was narrated that Jundab bin 'Abdullah said:

"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'Whoever fights for a cause that is not clear, advocating tribalism, getting angry for the sake of tribalism, then he has died a death of Jahiliyyah.'" [Sunan Nasai 4115]

We as Muslims should only sacrifice our lives for Allah Almighty. This is what we have been ordered to do in the Quran and Hadith.

Ceasefire between India and Pakistan

As of now i.e 5:41p.m(PST) both India and Pakistan have agreed to a ceasefire. This has clearly demonstrated the ability of Pakistan Army. This is a clear victory for Pakistan now Pakistan must demand these 4 things from India;

• Rights of minorities in India like Muslims, Christians, Dalit(lower caste Hindus) and Sikhs etc would be equal to the rights of Brahmin Hindus(an elite Hindu caste).

• India should back away from constructing dams on those rivers which run through Pakistan and demolish those dams which already exist. It should be prohibited for them to stop Pakistan's water supplies.

• Kashmir should be a separate Muslim country or a referendum should be conducted that if they want to be part of Pakistan or not but they should never be a part of India due to the atrocities and brutal genocide that India has conducted with the Kashmiris.

• India should pay for the damage they have done to the property of Pakistan and also pay to the families of those Pakistani civilians that were martyred due to Indian strikes.

Pakistan should accept a ceasefire only when these demands are accepted. If the Pakistani authorities fail to put pressure on India in accepting these terms and agree on a ceasefire then this can't be a victory for Pakistan but rather it would be a stalemate. As I wrote before that rest of the Ummah should help Pakistan in this and should also help Pakistan in putting pressure on India in accepting these demands just like India is also being helped by its allies especially the United States. If these demands are not met then this ceasefire shouldn't be accepted untill these demands are accepted. The morale of the Indian army is already down due to the strikes conducted by Pakistani army. If rest of the Ummah do not help Pakistan and the Muslims of the subcontinent in this situation then majority of Ummah should be ashamed of itself in the same way they should be ashamed for abandoning the Palestinians. The Fascist government of India would not stop here and keep on commiting atrocities with Muslims and other minorities in India. Fighting against tyranny is Jihad and the entire Muslim should not shy away from fighting it like they have shied away from fighting Jihad in the case of Palestine. Allah clearly says in the Quran;

"And what is it with you? You do not fight in the cause of Allah and for oppressed men, women, and children who cry out, “Our Lord! Deliver us from this land of oppressors! Appoint for us a saviour; appoint for us a helper—all by Your grace.” [Surah an-Nisa verse no.75]

"Surely Allah loves those who fight in His cause in ˹solid˺ ranks as if they were one concrete structure." [Surah As-Saf Verse no.4]

Agreeing on a ceasefire at this moment would encourage India to do such sort of things in the future as well.
