HAQ Baat part Virtues and Powers of Friends of Allah
Virtues and Powers of Friends of Allah.
Allah said in Quran:
إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاَةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ
Verily, your Walee (Protector or Helper) is Allah, His Messenger صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم , and the believers, - those who perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat, and they bow down.
[Maida:55]
There is an hadith is there in virtue of Hazrat Ali R.A regarding Shan-e-Nazul of this verse:
عن عمار بن ياسر رضي الله عنه، يقول: وقف على علي بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه سائل وهو راكع في تطوع، فنزع خاتمه فأعطاه السائل، فأتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم، فأعلمه ذالك، فنزلت على النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم هذه الآية: {إنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللهُ وَرَسُوْله وَالَّذِيْنَ آمَنُوا الَّذِيْنَ يُقِيْمُوْنَ الصَّلاةَ وَيُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُوْنَ} فقرأها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم، ثم قال: من كنت مولاه فعلي مولاه، اللهم! وال من والاه، وعاد من عاداه.
Translation:
“It is narrated by ‘Ammār bin Yāsir (رضی اللہ عنہ) that a beggar came up to ‘Alī (رضی اللہ عنہ) and stood beside him. He رضی اللہ عنہ was kneeling in prayer. He رضی اللہ عنہ pulled out his ring and he gave the ring to the beggar. Then ‘Alī (رضی اللہ عنہ) called on the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) and told him the news. At this occasion, this verse was revealed to him: (Surely your (helping) friend is Allāh and His Messenger and (along with them) are the believers who establish prayers, pay zakāh and bow down (in humility before Allāh (SWT)). Allāh’s Messenger (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) read out the verse and said: One who has me as his master has ‘Alī as his master. O Allāh! Be his friend who befriends him (‘Alī) and be his enemy who is his enemy.”

Now question that comes in to mind here is that:
How these Believers the friends of Allah (Auliya-Allah) help from grave ?
How can they listen from far distance ?
How can they see so long ?...etc.
Before answering these Questions I’ll like to quote a hadith (actually it is Hadith-e-Qudsi) from Sahih Bukhari Shreef.
Bukhari sharif Volume 8, Book 76, Number 509:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "Allah said, 'I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious worshipper of Mine. And the most beloved things with which My slave comes nearer to Me, is what I have enjoined upon him; and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil (praying or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till I love him, so I become his sense of hearing with which he hears, and his sense of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he grips, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me, I will give him, and if he asks My protection (Refuge), I will protect him; (i.e. give him My Refuge) and I do not hesitate to do anything as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates death, and I hate to disappoint him."
حضرت ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ حضور نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا : اللہ تعالیٰ فرماتا ہے : جو میرے کسی ولی سے دشمنی رکھے میں اُس سے اعلانِ جنگ کرتا ہوں اور میرا بندہ ایسی کسی چیز کے ذریعے میرا قرب نہیں پاتا جو مجھے فرائض سے زیادہ محبوب ہو اور میرا بندہ نفلی عبادات کے ذریعے برابر میرا قرب حاصل کرتا رہتا ہے یہاں تک کہ میں اس سے محبت کرنے لگتا ہوں اور جب میں اس سے محبت کرتا ہوں تو میں اس کا کان بن جاتا ہوں جس سے وہ سنتا ہے اور اس کی آنکھ بن جاتا ہوں جس سے وہ دیکھتا ہے اور اس کا ہاتھ بن جاتا ہوں جس سے وہ پکڑتا ہے اور اس کا پاؤں بن جاتا ہوں جس سے وہ چلتا ہے۔ اگر وہ مجھ سے سوال کرتا ہے تو میں اسے ضرور عطا کرتا ہوں اور اگر وہ میری پناہ مانگتا ہے تو میں ضرور اسے پناہ دیتا ہوں۔ میں نے جو کام کرنا ہوتا ہے اس میں کبھی اس طرح متردد نہیں ہوتا جیسے بندۂ مومن کی جان لینے میں ہوتا ہوں۔ اسے موت پسند نہیں اور مجھے اس کی تکلیف پسند نہیں۔
First of all note the starting words, Allah Said : I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious worshipper of Mine. So it’s just a warning to those who deny the virtues the powers and the status of friends of Allah, and disrespect them and consider them as ordinary person. So those who keep these views regarding friends of Allah, Allah declare war against them.
Allah said :
1. I become his sense of hearing with which he hears
2. his sense of sight with which he sees
3. his hand with which he grips
4. his leg with which he walks
Always remember Allah is pak from hand, legs eyes etc, now what these word here mean ? for this I will explain it with two very simple examples if u concentrate and read it, you will easily be able to understand these words. Before moving on to explanation of Hadith-e-Qudsi, let us see Powers of a Wali (Asif Bin Berkhia) of Hazrat Sulaiman A.S Ummah, who was blessed with little knowledge of Book.
[Surah Naml:38--40]
When Hazrat Sulaiman A.S asked who can bring the Takht (throne) of Queen of Saba, then Asif Bin Berkhia a Wali who was blessed with little knowledge of Book, bring that takht within the twinkling of an eye! and the distance from court of Hazrat Sulaiman A.S and capital of saba (where that throne was) is not less than 1500 miles, and the throne was not lying in a jungle from where it had just to be fetched. It lay in a queen's palace, which must have been well-guarded, and in the absence of the queen it must have been kept in a secure place.
As in verse :
(پھر) ایک ایسے شخص نے عرض کیا جس کے پاس (آسمانی) کتاب کا کچھ علم تھا کہ میں اسے آپ کے پاس لا سکتا ہوں قبل اس کے کہ آپ کی نگاہ آپ کی طرف پلٹے (یعنی پلک جھپکنے سے بھی پہلے)، پھر جب (سلیمان علیہ السلام نے) اس (تخت) کو اپنے پاس رکھا ہوا دیکھا (تو) کہا: یہ میرے رب کا فضل ہے تاکہ وہ مجھے آزمائے کہ آیا میں شکر گزاری کرتا ہوں یا نا شکری، اور جس نے (اللہ کا) شکر ادا کیا سو وہ محض اپنی ہی ذات کے فائدہ کے لئے شکر مندی کرتا ہے اور جس نے ناشکری کی تو بیشک میرا رب بے نیاز، کرم فرمانے والا ہے،
One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: "I will bring it to you within the twinkling of an eye!" then when (Sulaiman (Solomon)) saw it placed before him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful!
So just see, jisay kuch Ilm dia gaya us ki powers or Ikhtayarat or authorities ka ye alam hai kay he bought that throne from thousand miles within twinkling of an eye!!
And Hazrat Sulaiman A.S said on this karamat that this is Allah's Fazal. Now just Imagine jis per Book ka sara ilm nazil huwa, jisay Allah nay Fazal-e-Azeem (sab say bara fazal) say nawaza us ki powers or authorities or us kay knowledge ka koi insaan andaza nahi laga sakta.
Jis per Kuch fazal huwa, jis per fermaya :This is by the Grace of my Lord us nay itni azeem-o-shan takat ka muzahira kia, tou jis per Fazal-e-Azeem hai,
Allah said 4:113:
وَكَانَ فَضْلُ اللّهِ عَلَيْكَ عَظِيما
And Ever Great is the Grace of Allah unto you (O Muhammad صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم). ..
now can anyone in this universe even imagine the Powers and highness of Knowledge of Prophet صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم ?
Now we’ll see how these Auliya, the friends of Allah help from grave and how the get the power ?
Explanation of Hadith Bukhari sharif Volume 8, Book 76, Number 509
Example No.1:
Take a piece of Iron, and put it into fire. Now you know it very well that iron (loha) has no power to burn things. Iron in normal state cannot burn others. But when placed in fire and when it got red, now it has the power the ability to burn things. It is still same piece of Iron, but why it is now able to burn other things ? just because this piece of iron has put itself to fire, fire has given it his power of burning to Iron, now iron can also burn others. In urdu we say “iron nay apnay aap ko aag may fana kerdia, tou aag nay apni qualities iron mai daal deen jis say ab iron bhee dosri cheez ko jalanay kay kabil bangia.”
So kia iron fire ban gia ? or fire iron ban gaee ?
Nahi, iron, iron hai…aag aag hai, sirif huwa kia, aag nay apni quality apni property to burn iron ko bhee daydee, yani fire ki quality (to burn things) is appearing from a piece of iron.
So similarly Auliya Allah the friends of Allah doing worship and performing lots of Nawafil, they kill there nafs, wo apnay aap ko Allah ki zaat may fana kerdaytay hain. Phir un say Allah ki sifaat ka zahor(izhar) hota hai.
They do not become Allah! Just like iron does not became fire. Sirif hota ye hai kay Allah ki qualities ka zahor in Auliya say hota hai. That is why from hadith, Eye is of that wali that pious man, but power of watching is of Allah, ear is of that pious man, but power of hearing is of Allah, hand is still of that pious worshipper, but power in those hand is power of Allah, they do not become Allah (Naozobillah) but they become Mazhar (means zahir honay ki jaga) of Qualities of All-Mighty Allah.
Yani un ki bashri sifaat magloob hojateen hain or Allah ki sifaat ghalib aajateen hain.
When I pious worshipper the friend of Allah reached at this state, this stage is called Muqam-e-Faqr, or fana-fillah.
And Holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم said about it:
الفقر فخری والفقر منی
Translation: "Faqr is my pride and Faqr is my heritage".
That is why Allah called Prophet’s صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم hand His Hand :
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُبَايِعُونَكَ إِنَّمَا يُبَايِعُونَ اللَّهَ يَدُ اللَّهِ فَوْقَ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَمَن نَّكَثَ فَإِنَّمَا يَنكُثُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ أَوْفَى بِمَا عَاهَدَ عَلَيْهُ اللَّهَ فَسَيُؤْتِيهِ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا.
(اے حبیب!) بیشک جو لوگ آپ سے بیعت کرتے ہیں وہ اﷲ ہی سے بیعت کرتے ہیں، ان کے ہاتھوں پر (آپ کے ہاتھ کی صورت میں) اﷲ کا ہاتھ ہے۔ پھر جس شخص نے بیعت کو توڑا تو اس کے توڑنے کا وبال اس کی اپنی جان پر ہوگا اور جس نے (اس) بات کو پورا کیا جس (کے پورا کرنے) پر اس نے اﷲ سے عہد کیا تھا تو وہ عنقریب اسے بہت بڑا اجر عطا فرمائے گاo
Those who swear allegiance to you, swear allegiance to Allah. The hand of Allah is over their hands; so who-so ever breaks his oath, he breaks it to his own loss, and whosoever fulfils the covenant which he had made with Allah, then Allah shall soon give him a great Reward.
So we also got evidence from Quran.
Now I’ll explain this hadith-e-Qudsi with another more simpler example:
Some people got influenced with Jinnat, logon per jin cherh jata hai, and this is a reality, which is proved from Quran. So when somebody got affected or controlled by a jin, then hands are still of that person, tongue is still same, but when he speak people who are watching say Jin is speaking.
So is that man become a Jin ? or a Jin become a man ? No! neither man become Jin nor Jin is converted in to human, Man is still man, Jin is still Jin, na Jin insaan bana na insaan jin bana but what happens ? huwa ye kay Jin nay insaan ki properties or qualities ko block kerdia, and apni properties or qualities ko enforce kerdia, ab insaan ka dekhna Jin ka dekhna hai, Insaan ka bolna jin ka bolna hai. Insan insan he hai, mager Jin ki qualities or properties ka zahor insaan say ho raha hai.
So a Jin which is just a creation of Allah, jin has so power to takeover human then who can imagine the power of Allah ?... JIN jo ALLAH ki ek creature hai us kay aser or ghalib ajanay ka ye haal hain tou khalik jo ALLAH hai us kay aser or ghalbay ka kia haal hoga ? kay ALLAH tallah un kay bashiri osaaf qualities ko malghoob ker kay apni qualities ghalib kerdayta hai.
That is why we say tht seeing of that person is from vision of Allah, hearing of that person is from hearing power of Allah and helping through their hands is helping of Allah. They do not become Allah but from them Qualities and Allah’s powers becomes appearing.
Now answer to the questions and objections that how these Believers the friends of Allah (Auliya-Allah) help from grave ? how can they listen from far distance ? how can they see so long ?... are crystal clear.
--Their vision is Allah’s vision, so is there anything hidden from Allah’s vision ?
--Their hearing is Allah’s Hearing, so that is why they can hear anyone who call them for help.
--Their helping and power is Allah’s help and power.
So that is why we say and believe that these friends of Allah can help according to verse Maida:55. And our believe is all from Quran and Authentic Hadiths it is not fake and self made, those who think like it they might have miss understandings and confusions, because they use their own mind and sense infront of Quran and Hadith, they never try to see what Quran and Hadith are telling us.
Allah said in Quran:
إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاَةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ
Verily, your Walee (Protector or Helper) is Allah, His Messenger صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم , and the believers, - those who perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat, and they bow down.
[Maida:55]
There is an hadith is there in virtue of Hazrat Ali R.A regarding Shan-e-Nazul of this verse:
عن عمار بن ياسر رضي الله عنه، يقول: وقف على علي بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه سائل وهو راكع في تطوع، فنزع خاتمه فأعطاه السائل، فأتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم، فأعلمه ذالك، فنزلت على النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم هذه الآية: {إنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللهُ وَرَسُوْله وَالَّذِيْنَ آمَنُوا الَّذِيْنَ يُقِيْمُوْنَ الصَّلاةَ وَيُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُوْنَ} فقرأها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم، ثم قال: من كنت مولاه فعلي مولاه، اللهم! وال من والاه، وعاد من عاداه.
Translation:
“It is narrated by ‘Ammār bin Yāsir (رضی اللہ عنہ) that a beggar came up to ‘Alī (رضی اللہ عنہ) and stood beside him. He رضی اللہ عنہ was kneeling in prayer. He رضی اللہ عنہ pulled out his ring and he gave the ring to the beggar. Then ‘Alī (رضی اللہ عنہ) called on the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) and told him the news. At this occasion, this verse was revealed to him: (Surely your (helping) friend is Allāh and His Messenger and (along with them) are the believers who establish prayers, pay zakāh and bow down (in humility before Allāh (SWT)). Allāh’s Messenger (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) read out the verse and said: One who has me as his master has ‘Alī as his master. O Allāh! Be his friend who befriends him (‘Alī) and be his enemy who is his enemy.”

(اے حبیب!) بیشک جو لوگ آپ سے بیعت کرتے ہیں وہ اﷲ ہی سے بیعت کرتے ہیں، ان کے ہاتھوں پر (آپ کے ہاتھ کی صورت میں) اﷲ کا ہاتھ ہے۔ پھر جس شخص نے بیعت کو توڑا تو اس کے توڑنے کا وبال اس کی اپنی جان پر ہوگا اور جس نے (اس) بات کو پورا کیا جس (کے پورا کرنے) پر اس نے اﷲ سے عہد کیا تھا تو وہ عنقریب اسے بہت بڑا اجر عطا فرمائے گاo
Those who swear allegiance to you, swear allegiance to Allah. The hand of Allah is over their hands; so who-so ever breaks his oath, he breaks it to his own loss, and whosoever fulfils the covenant which he had made with Allah, then Allah shall soon give him a great Reward.
So we also got evidence from Quran.
Now I’ll explain this hadith-e-Qudsi with another more simpler example:
Some people got influenced with Jinnat, logon per jin cherh jata hai, and this is a reality, which is proved from Quran. So when somebody got affected or controlled by a jin, then hands are still of that person, tongue is still same, but when he speak people who are watching say Jin is speaking.
So is that man become a Jin ? or a Jin become a man ? No! neither man become Jin nor Jin is converted in to human, Man is still man, Jin is still Jin, na Jin insaan bana na insaan jin bana but what happens ? huwa ye kay Jin nay insaan ki properties or qualities ko block kerdia, and apni properties or qualities ko enforce kerdia, ab insaan ka dekhna Jin ka dekhna hai, Insaan ka bolna jin ka bolna hai. Insan insan he hai, mager Jin ki qualities or properties ka zahor insaan say ho raha hai.
So a Jin which is just a creation of Allah, jin has so power to takeover human then who can imagine the power of Allah ?... JIN jo ALLAH ki ek creature hai us kay aser or ghalib ajanay ka ye haal hain tou khalik jo ALLAH hai us kay aser or ghalbay ka kia haal hoga ? kay ALLAH tallah un kay bashiri osaaf qualities ko malghoob ker kay apni qualities ghalib kerdayta hai.
That is why we say tht seeing of that person is from vision of Allah, hearing of that person is from hearing power of Allah and helping through their hands is helping of Allah. They do not become Allah but from them Qualities and Allah’s powers becomes appearing.
Now answer to the questions and objections that how these Believers the friends of Allah (Auliya-Allah) help from grave ? how can they listen from far distance ? how can they see so long ?... are crystal clear.
--Their vision is Allah’s vision, so is there anything hidden from Allah’s vision ?
--Their hearing is Allah’s Hearing, so that is why they can hear anyone who call them for help.
--Their helping and power is Allah’s help and power.
So that is why we say and believe that these friends of Allah can help according to verse Maida:55. And our believe is all from Quran and Authentic Hadiths it is not fake and self made, those who think like it they might have miss understandings and confusions, because they use their own mind and sense infront of Quran and Hadith, they never try to see what Quran and Hadith are telling us.
Or they miss interpret some hadiths and verses, and make false believe which results in contradiction in Quran and Sunnah.
Objection : Some people will raise this objection so I am answering it in advance. They say that they have these powers when they were here in this world, now they have passed away so they can’t listen help. This objection is extremely illogical, baseless and senseless and shows the low standard of knowledge of those who raise such objections. Now to answer this, it is already proved from Quran and Ahadiths from Bukhari that after passing this world powers of listening seeing hearing increases rather getting decrease. Even a Kafir can listen more after his dead. and this is Proven from hadiths of Bukhari and Muslim. Allah and His Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) knows the Best |
