[PF:167992] Mujaddid of the 14th Century | AlaHadrat Imam Ahmad Rida Khan al-Baraylawi Alaihir raHmah

The Reviver (Mujaddid) of the 14th Century
AlaHadrat Imam Ahmad Rida Khan Alaihir raHmah

Imam Ahmed Rida Khan [d. 1340h/1921 CE] was a champion of the Sunni World in the twentieth century as he defended the belief system of Sunni Muslims and rejected the false and deviant ways head on with support from the greatest Ulama worldwide.

He restored the deen to its original state in India when falsehood was being mixed with the truth and people were confused about Sunni beliefs and practices. Such a person is known as a "Mujaddid".

Hadrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings upon him) said:

"There will always be in my Ummah a group who safeguard the truth until Qiyamah comes" [Hakim's Mustadrak]

Hadrat Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates the Noble Prophet (upon him peace and blessings) said:

"Allah shall send for this Ummah at the head of every hundred years a person who shall revive their Deen for them" [Sunan Abi Dawud]

Family History


Imam Ahmed Rida son of Mufti Naqi 'Ali son of Mufti Muhammad Rida. He was born in a scholarly family on the 10th of Shawwal (1856 CE) in Bareilly, India.

His forefathers were originally from Kandahar, Afghanistan, and migrated to and settled in India.

Studies & Discipleship

Imam Ahmed Rida studied twenty one traditional Islamic sciences under his father, and mastered over fifty traditional sciences most of which were poured into his heart from Allah Almighty as he mentioned in al-Ijaazat al-Mateenah.

He wrote his first ever fatwa on 14th Sha'ban 1286h on an issue of fostering (when he was only 13 years, 10 months and 4 days old!)
 
Imam Ahmed Rida took his spiritual pledge (bay'ah/ahd) and received khilafah in various Sufi pathways from his spiritual teacher [Murshid], Sayyid Shah Aal-e-Rasul Ahmadi from Marehrah, India, in 1296H.

Travels to Hajj

First Hajj: In 1295h (1878 CE), at the age of 22, the great Imam traveled to perform Hajj with his father where he received Ijazahs (licenses to teach) in the traditional sciences from the great scholars of Makkah such as Sayyid Ahmad Zayni Dahlan and Mufti Abdullah bin Abd ar-Rahman Siraaj.

Event: It is narrated that Imam Ahmed Rida was near Maqam Ibrahim after Maghrib salah one evening that the Shafi'I Imam of Masjid al-Haraam Shaykh Salih Jamal al-Layl Makki (d.1320h/1884) greeted him and said: "I swear by Allah, I can see the light of Allah shine in your forehead" and presented Ijazahs to him.

Second Hajj: In 1323h (1950 CE), Imam Ahmed Rida travelled to the Two Holy sanctuaries for the second time in company of his brother, Mawlana Hassan Raza Khan and son, Mawlana Hamid Raza Khan.

Event: He wrote a book called "Al-Dawlah al-Makkiyyah" in Arabic in this journey in just over eight hours without using any books on a question proposed to him by the Sharif of Makkah on the Noble Prophet 's (may Allah give him peace and blessings) knowledge of the unseen (ilm al-gayb). This work received a tremendous acceptance in its recital gathering in the presence of the Sharif which was attended by the prominent scholars of the time.

In the same journey, he had numerous meetings of knowledge and circles with the great Ulama who were either teaching, living or traveling in Hijaz. He produced a number of books in Arabic due to these sittings and circles, among them are:

Hussam al-Haramayn (Sword of the Two Holy Sanctuaries on the throat of disbelief and falsehood)his famous work in defence of the Sunni beliefs and refutation of deviant groups that had blasphemed Allah and His Messenger.

Al-Ijaazat al-MateenahHis licenses to the scholars of Makkah and Madinah and letters to them

Kiflul FaqihFatwa on the legal status of the bank note in Islamic law

All three of the above mentioned books made Imam Ahmed Rida very popular in the holy lands of Hijaz, Syria and Yemen.

What his contemporary Arab scholars said about Him?

Major scholars of Makkah and Madinah praised him lavishly for his knowledge and piety. He was called:

"The absolute Shaykh of all teachers" by Shaykh Ismail Makki, Libarian of Makkah Haram Library

"The encyclopaedia of all sciences" by Shaykh 'Ali bin Hassan Maliki, Mufti of Makkah city

"A giant Imam and well learned man who is an expert in the sciences" by Shaykh Yusuf Nabhani, Mujaddid of Sham & Mufti of Lebanon.

His Principles (Manhaj)


1. Love of Allah and His Messenger is before anything & everything

He said "If my heart was ever divided into two parts, one of them would have written on it "laa ilaaha illAllah" and on the other "Muhammadur Rasulullah"!!

2. Defending the Honour of the Noble Messenger (upon him peace & blessings)

He did not tolerate blasphemy (disrespect) of the Noble Messenger or of the pious companions or Awliya and stood strongly against the corrupted groups of his time for this reason.

3. Education and transmission of authentic knowledge

He was a dedicated teacher and some of the greatest Ulama of India were his students, among them are:
  • His two sons, Hujjatul Islam (Proof of Islam) Hamid Rida Khan & Mufti-e-Azam Hind (the grand Mufti of India), Mustafa Rida Khan
  • Sadrus Shariah (Front line scholar of Islamic Law): Amjad Ali al-A'zami
  • Malik al-Ulema (King of the Ulama): Zafaruddin Bihari
  • Sayyid Muhammad Muhadith-e-Kachouchwi
  • Qutb-e-Madina: Ziya'uddin Ahmad al-Madani & others
4. Self-Purification

He followed the spiritual path (tariqa) of Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani and loved all the Sufiya (Awliya). He made thousands repent from sins in his gatherings  and his entire life was spent purifying hearts and summoning people to Allah Almighty

5. Praise of the Messenger through writing and poems

His Durood-o-Salam is recited all over the world after Jum'ua and at the ends of religious events in mosques and homes like the Qasidah Burdah. His most famous book of Na'ats is called "Hada'iq-e-Bakshish" containing some of the finest praises of Allah and of His chosen people.
 
6. Following the Sunnah of the Messenger (upon him peace & blessings) to the smallest detail

The character of the Noble Messenger (upon him peace & blessings) was imprinted in Imam Ahmed Rida's life. He staunchly practised the Sunnah and so did his disciples and students.

7. Uncompromising defence of the Ahlus-Sunnah beliefs and practises

He authored more than two hundred books on the teachings of the Ahlus-Sunnah and their defence.

His Books

Imam Ahmed Rida wrote more than a thousand books and commentaries in more than 55 sciences. A list of about 350 books is available titled "al-Mujmal al Mu'addid". A bulky 12 volume Hanafi fatwa collection: "Fataawa-e-Ridwiyyah" in Urdu/Arabic was recently published in Lahore (Pakistan) with an index in 33 volumes! His Fataawa are an ocean of knowledge and wisdom.

The Sunni Muslims of the sub-continent (India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan) remember the great Imam for his service to the Ahlus-Sunnah and consider him a saviour when the Sunni-way was at threat.


His Demise and Burial

Imam Ahmed Rida passed away on 28th October 1921 CE (25th Safar 1340h) at the age of 65, in his home at Jumu'ah time when the mu'adhin was saying "come to success" leaving behind two sons, Mowlana Hamid Raza and Mufti Mustafa Raza, and five daughters.

People from all over the world visit his blessed shrine in Bareilly Shareef every year on 25th Safar and attend the annual khatam (Blessed URS).

The great grandson who takes care of the affairs of the school of Imam Ahmed Rida in Bareilly is Mufti Akhtar Rida Khan, a fine scholar and graduate of al-Azhar University in Egypt. He is now visually impaired yet still teaches and dictates translations to books in Arabic and English, with good knowledge of English. May Allah preserve him and grant health.

{Kantakji Group}. Add '10680' مساعدة عاجلة جدا

ما هي تكلفة مصادر الأموال في المصارف الإسلامية

{Kantakji Group}. Add '10681' المساهمات عند العلامة ابن عثيمين رحمة الله عليه

الحمد لله حمداً كثيراً طيباً مباركاً فيه كما يحب ربنا ويرضى، وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الحمد في الآخرة والأولى، وأشهد أن محمداً عبده ورسوله المصطفى، وخليله المجتبى، صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه ومن بهداهم اهتدى، وسلم تسليماً كثيراً.

أما بعد:

أيها الناس، اتقوا الله تعالى، وقوموا بما أوجب الله عليكم من المعاملات التي أحلها الله لكم، ولا تتبعوا أهواءكم فتقعوا فيما حرَّم الله عليكم من المعاملات، وفي الجمعة الماضية تكلمنا عن المساهمات التي تطرح في الأسواق، وقلنا: إن هذه المساهمات على قسمين:

القسم الأول: مساهمات في بيوت الربا، وهي البنوك الربوية، فالمساهمات فيها حرام لا تحل؛ لأنها مساهمات في ربا، والربا من أعظم الذنوب الكبائر؛ حتى قال الله تعالى- فيه: ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَذَرُوا مَا بَقِيَ مِنَ الرِّبا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ (278) فَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا فَأْذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَإِنْ تُبْتُمْ فَلَكُمْ رُؤُوسُ أَمْوَالِكُمْ لا تَظْلِمُونَ وَلا تُظْلَمُونَ﴾ [البقرة: 278-279] فبالله عليكم بلغوني من الذي يستطيع أن يؤذن الحرب على الله ورسوله؟ إن من آذن الحرب على الله ورسوله فإنه مخذول بكل حال، منهزم على كل حال، فاتقوا الله عباد الله، واحذروا الربا إن كنتم مؤمنين، واتقوا النار التي أعدت للكافرين، ﴿وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ﴾ [آل عمران: 132].

أما القسم الثاني: فهو المساهمات في شركات تكون للاستثمار بغير طريق الربا، ولكنه ربما يحصل فيها شيء من الربا بالأموال الفائضة التي تودعها في البنوك، أو بما تحتاج إليه من الدراهم، فتأخذه من البنوك فتعطي الربا، ومن المعلوم أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم "لعن آكل الربا وموكله وشاهديه وكاتبه وقال هم سواء"(41)، وبناءً على هذا فإن الذي أرى أن من الورع الذي يتقي به الإنسان الشبهات ويستبرئ لدينه وعرضه أن لا يشارك في هذه المساهمات، وما أغناه الله من المال الحلال فهو كاف، ولن يموت جوعاً ولا عطشاً إن شاء الله إذا اتقى الله عز وجل؛ لأن الله يقول: ﴿وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجاً (2) وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لا يَحْتَسِب﴾ [الطلاق: 2-3]، وربما يشارك في هذه المساهمات المشتبهة، ربما يشارك فيها ولا يأكل من ربحها الذي يترقبه شيئاً، ربما يعاجله الموت قبل ذلك، وإنني أكرر أن المساهمات في البنوك حرام لا تحل بأي وجه من الوجوه، فاحذروا ذلك أيها المسلمون، ولا تغتروا بممارسة كثير من الناس لذلك، فإن الله - سبحانه وتعالى - سوف يسألكم يوم القيامة: ﴿مَاذَا أَجَبْتُمُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ﴾ [القصص: 65] لن يسألكم فيقول ماذا اتبعتم الناس، ولكنه يقول: ﴿مَاذَا أَجَبْتُمُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ﴾ [ القصص: 65] ونبينا صلى الله عليه وسلم بيّن لنا ذلك بياناً شافياً أيها الإخوة.

القسم الثاني: المساهمة في الشركات التي ليست مبناها على الربا، فأقول: إن من الورع ترك المساهمة فيها، ولكن إذا لم يسلك الإنسان سبيل الورع أو كان قد تورط فيها فإنه يبقى على مساهمته، وإذا وزع الربح فإن كان الربح مفصلاً قد بيّن فيه مقدار الربا فليخرج هذا المقدار تخلصاً منه لا تقرباً به؛ ليصرف هذا المقدار إما في صدقة على فقير، وإما في إصلاح طريق، وإما في عمارة مسجد، وإما في غير ذلك مما يكون مصلحة؛ لأن المقصود بهذه الصدقة هو التخلص وليس التقرب إلى الله بها، وحينئذٍ لا يرد علينا ما يورده بعض الناس فيقول: إن الله طيب لا يقبل إلا طيباً، فكيف يقبل الصدقة أو بناء المساجد في هذه الأموال المأخوذة ربا؟ فأقول: إن الذي يبذلها لا يقصد التقرب إلى الله بالصدقة بها، ولكنه يقصد التوبة منها والتخلي عنها، فيكون مأجوراً على التوبة فقط لا على الصدقة بها، ولو نوى الصدقة بها مثلاً فإن الصدقة لا تقبل؛ "لأن الله طيب لا يقبل إلا طيبا"(42)، وذمته لا تبرأ منها؛ لأنه لم ينوِ التخلص منها، وقد قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: "إنما الأعمال بالنيات وإنما لكل امرئ ما نوى"(43).

بقي علينا إذا كانت الأرباح ليست معينة في هذه الشركات ولا يدري الإنسان ما مقدار الربا فيها، فإن الاحتياط أن يتخلص من نصف الربح، ويكون نصف الربح له خالصاً، لا يَظْلِمُ ولا يُظْلَمُ، هذا ما فهمناه من كلام أهل العلم، وأسأل الله - تعالى - أن يرزقنا وإياكم الورع عما يضرنا في الدنيا والآخرة، اللهم ارزقنا الورع عما يضرنا في الدنيا والآخرة، وارزقنا الزهد فيما لا ينفعنا في الدنيا والآخرة، واجعلنا مقبلين على طاعتك، مكبين عليها على الوجه الذي ترضاه عنا يا رب العالمين.

Israel concerned may be under cyber attack
Fri Jan 06 11:58:39 UTC 2012

* Hacker releases personal data; says he is in Saudi Arabia

* Israeli officials worry about implications

By Allyn Fisher-Ilan

JERUSALEM, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Israeli officials said on Friday they were concerned the country may be under cyber attack after a wave of credit card code thefts in the past week by a hacker who claims to be operating out of Saudi Arabia.

Credit card company officials said 14,000 numbers had been posted on line on Tuesday and another 11,000 on Thursday. However, they said some of the codes had expired and that the active cards were all being cancelled.

The hacker has identified himself as OxOmar and says he is part of a Saudi Arabian hacker team. In a post on Thursday he said he had leaked information about more than 400,000 Israelis and said the "Jewish lobby" was hiding the scale of the attack.

Israeli officials say the hacker has also released email addresses and passwords, but have yet to confirm where he is based.

"This incident should be treated as a cyber attack," Justice Ministry official Yoram Hacohen told the Ma'ariv daily.

" When it comes to digital felonies committed outside the country, it is difficult to locate the perpetrator if he took the correct precautions," Hacohen added.

The data theft was one of the worst that Israel has said it has faced, and while the financial damage was reportedly minimal, the breaches have heightened concerns about the potential use of stolen information by Israel's enemies.

"These matters are worrisome," Science and Technology Minister Daniel Hershkowitz told Israel Radio, calling the incident "a sample of the great danger out in cyberspace."

He added that Israel had "impressive capabilities" and was setting up an agency to deal with the issue, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged last year.

On the back of the credit card theft, a parliamentary committee has scheduled a session for the coming week to review Israel's readiness to defend itself from cyber attacks.

"We must prepare to cope with cyber threats in anticipation of any attempts to use Internet terror to strike at Israel," said lawmaker Ronit Tirosh, the committee chairwoman.

Some newspaper columnists speculated that hackers might be retaliating for recent attacks in Iran, including the mysterious Stuxnet computer virus that snarled its controversial nuclear computer systems.

"The peculiar incident we are facing could be a bad joke, a youthful prank, a hate-driven terror attack for beginners or the first stage in an Iranian cyber-terror attack," commentator Ben Caspit wrote in Friday's edition of Ma'ariv.

However, Hershkowitz dismissed such speculation, saying: "the imagination tends to soar."

The hacker wrote in his Web post: "So, I've started thinking of sending all Israeli credit cards I own which reaches 1M data."

"Enjoy it world! Purchase stuff for yourself online, buy anything you want," he added.

Dov Kotler, CEO of Isracard, a unit of Bank Hapoalim , said 5,200 credit card numbers listed by the hacker on Thursday, belonged to his customers.

The thefts have dampened Internet sales in Israel, media reports said, though no figures were immediately available. Israeli reports have indicated that most of the information stolen had been gleaned from online commercial sites. (Editing by Crispian Balmer)
