Preaching Is the Source of Honor and Pride
The Preacher of Islam Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Kaleem Siddique: Hazrat Moulana is a great DA’EE of Islam, almost more than five lakh people have converted to Islam on his hands. His book “NASEEM HIDAYAT KE JHONKE” is worth reading.
The most merciful, the Judicious, the All-Aware, ALLAH sent his last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ the kindest and merciful for both worlds to blow the winds of mercy, and privileged us to be the Ummati of the Great Prophet ﷺ with His mercy and without any request or demand. He announced the end of prophecy on him and with His special mercy and favor granted us the responsibility to that great deed for which the prophets were appointed and granted us the great title and rank of great Ummah and announced so proudly in His charter:
کنتم خیرا امۃ اخرجت للناس تآمرون بالمعروف و تنھون عن المنکر
While reading these verses from the Quran it feels like parents who consider their particular son or a daughter a pride, the obedient and good based on any ability amongst other children. As said that I have five sons and five daughters but what to say about Molvi Abdulah or the other one, exactly the way ALLAH mentions us proudly the best Ummah with our good deed and responsibilities. Kuntum Khaira Ummatin Ukhrijat Lilnaas.
کنتم خیرا امۃ اخرجت للناس
You are the best ‘Ummah ever raised for mankind. You bid the Fair and forbid the Unfair. This religion will last till the day of judgment, all the ways of alterations of words have been closed, famous interpreter Allama Tibri has quoted a narration for explaining that Ayah that you command faith and forbid disbelief and polytheism, saying of the leader of the interpreters Hazrat Abdullah Bin Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ has been narrated by the other narrators/ interpreters in this reference that the believers are sent as preachers/ da’ee from the womb of their mothers, the saying of Ameer Ul Momaneen Hazrat Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) has also been copied that your leadership is conditional with the invitation. This idea or thought
creates a gap/ anxiety in the minds, especially in today’s era, that whole Muslim Ummah is facing humiliation and defeat, doom/oppression. While the Quran has called it the leader, best, and great Ummah, and nowadays no other nation is facing more humiliation other than Muslims so this thought provokes by not accurately understanding the Quran. In reality, this is not a right concept that every Abdullah and Abdul Raheem is the best Ummah, but also the rule is that if you may serve you will be called a servant whereas if you will sweep how can you be called an officer, Quran has interlinked the conditions to the invitation/ call. Like if you will follow the path of prophets then you will be called a better Ummah, what is the path/ way of prophets? Let peace, children, respect, glory, and everything be sacrificed, and let the servants of Allah be connected to Him. And enter into the heavens by leaving the way of disaster, disobedience, and hell. If you will follow the path of prophets then you will be called the better Ummah, prophet’s path is not the path of mendicants that you ask and demand from others instead of giving. This is not the path of prophets that I get everything, my bank balance, accounts, my property, my trade, my house, me and my family’s whole status before death is the path of beggars, how can you be called a better Ummah? The tragedy of MUSLIM UMMAH is that they dream for the respect of the leaders of prophets by following the path of prophets and servants. And that particular Ummah which was sent to connect all the humanity to the religion of mercy, rather they forgot their way. So that’s why it is necessary to get the best Ummah its preaching role and rank by studying the life of the Holy Prophet ﷺ being a Prophet and highlighting the aspects of his ﷺ life as a preacher, I wish! May ALLAH make us aware of it.
