The Reasoning behind YA

The Reasoning behind YA ....

This is what i understood from ULEMA e Ahle Sunnat who wahabis term as Barelvis , text imported previous community

We say YA RasolAllah sallhoaliwasallam ..

there are objections to this for the following reasons ..

YA calling is Shirk- cause only Allah can hear from far

and Its Allahs sifat to hear from distanceDead person cannot be referred to as YA ...

be patient and read post by post...

Answer would be in the following pattern ...

reasoning why calling YA is not Shirk

Allahs sifat

Dead person can they hear!!!

all this wud be the reasoning first.

then did any of our pious people had same understanding of this concept.

who objected ??

Shirk - #2

Shirk is the Islamic concept of the sin of polytheism specifically,

but in a more general way refers to worshiping other than Allah associating partners with Him, giving His characteristics to other than Him, or not believing in His characteristics. ,

Polytheism is belief in or worship of multiple gods (usually assembled in a pantheon) together with associated mythology and rituals.

so above was Shirk by definition.. so any thing which is said as shirk would be seen if it matches the definition

what was happening before in ARAB

Qur'an have emphasized that pre-Islamic Arabic idolatry made a number of godlings (most memorably the three goddesses al-Manāt, al-Lāt and Uzzā) equal associates of Allah (as the Qur'an discusses in the 53rd surat) and the word mushrikūn is often translated into English as "polytheists".

hence SHIRK definition NEVER CHANGED what was shirk at the time of ADAM alihissalam was same till last prophet peace be upon him .

Shirk is between Creation and creator

HARAM halal did change depending on time - its between 2 creations

SO now why calling ya is not Shirk !!!?

now if anyone reads and understands Shirk, its clear that if a person calls some one with a Belief that a person who is calling is the Creator IT IS SHIRKBUT this is not the case ...

when its referred to anyone by YA . in case of Rasolallah Sallahoalihiwasallam

its clear from what we write that he is Rasool of ALLAH which is a clear distinction of creation and creator in itself

it is referred with the belief that Prophet peace be upon him can Listen to us when we call and this capacity or power is GIVEN by ALLAH and this is not only to prophet but it goes further down the chain which will be talked later

The Foundation of Shirk is on belief - a belief that accepts partners to Allah or equivalent to Allah

Its Allahs sifat to hear from distance #3

Now Allah has infinite Attributes ...

if anyone says Allah ONLY can hear from distance.

Does he believe Allah is FAR or at a long distance???

ok but the issue is still not answered so moving on..

Allah has capacity to see

Allah has capacity to hear

Allah forgives

Allah bestows Rehmat

Allah has capacity to create Angels

it can go on ...

Its Agreed that all this is Allahs sifat. but Allah had given these capacities more or less or all of us

we can hear, we can see , we also forgive

but based on our mortal nature we can do so (hear etc) to a very limited extent

we can see to a very limited extent

with a few scientific tools we have exponentially increased our capacity or hear and see and transmit .

So why cant Allah give these powers to his special people which are superior to the tools and science we currently have ??

Dead person cannot be referred to as YA #4

ok untill now it was reading of defination and reasoning with logic , untill now no Quran and hadis are mentioned ..comming to death .

This is a concept which needs to be defined first. since for science DEATH is some thing which science dont understand fully. the medical defination of DEATH

Death is the termination of the biological functions that define living organisms. It refers both to a specific event and, particularly in humans, to a condition, the true nature of which it has for millennia been a central concern of the world's religious traditions and philosophers to penetrate.

Historically, attempts to define the exact moment of death have been problematic. Death was once defined as the cessation of heartbeat (cardiac arrest) and of breathing, but the development of CPR and prompt defibrillation have rendered that definition inadequate because breathing and heartbeat can sometimes be restarted. This is now called "clinical death". Events which were causally linked to death in the past no longer kill in all circumstances; without a functioning heart or lungs, life can sometimes be sustained with a combination of life support devices, organ transplants and artificial pacemakers.

Today, where a definition of the moment of death is required, doctors and coroners usually turn to "brain death" or "biological death": People are considered dead when the electrical activity in their brain ceases (cf. persistent vegetative state). It is presumed that a stoppage of electrical activity indicates the end of consciousness. However, suspension of consciousness must be permanent, and not transient, as occurs during certain sleep stages, and especially a coma. In the case of sleep, EEGs can easily tell the difference. Identifying the moment of death is important in cases of transplantation, as an organ for transplant must be harvested as quickly as possible after the death of the body.

Death #5

Now if Death is a medical condition AND if understood it can be cured.

Working of Organs is only what medical science CAN trun towards. Soul has no existence for scienceBeing a Muslim we know the CORE is missing ... in defining death read this carefully ..SOUL is a source or routine channel of LIFE -

Soul is not the ONLY way to give Life ..Allah can give life without this channel or Source

we know about SOUL - we don't understand it except as said that its Allah command

Life is further mysterious

QURAN #6

Surah Yusuf :12 :2. No doubt, We have sent it down as an Arabic Quran so that you may understand.

why is this Said Quran is revealed in Arabic ?

by saying Arabic it also means : the Vocabulary, grammer, phrases etc are as per Arabic language .

Other wise world would have been debating forever, meanings of phrases and the ways of talking.. which is referred here in as Arabic.

I AM WITH YOU- will not be translated literally it means for Support , and displays closeness

thee Alone we seek HELP - and Allah himself referrers to people , and other as Helpers

this is not Contradictory but its the way we speak the language ...

1. All praise unto Allah, - does not mean its illegal now to praise any gairullah??

these things are the way talked in language , and some aspects might be same in English and Urdu those are not we can refer to Arabic Language

so understanding the format of Language is also a key to understanding

YA in grammer #7

the most respected classical dictionaries of the Arabic language, the Lasan al Arab of Ibn Manzur (d. 711 hijri).

Ibn Manzur states that Ya! can be applied for either a person who is near, or far from the caller.

[Ibn Manzur al-Afriqi, Lasan al-Arab under the word ‘Ya’]

Ibne tamiyya is held high by people who started his objection to YA

Ibn Taymiyya writes:-

When someone calls upon someone else, saying Ya! it may be used in one of two ways – physically or by the knowledge of that person. An example of this is when the Messenger of Allah [May Allah bless him and grant him peace] warned the people at the time of Dajjal: “Yaa ‘ibaadillaahi Fathbutu…” (Oh servants of Allah! Keep your feet steadfast…) The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, said this to the people who would be present at the time of Dajjal, and who were not yet born.

Another example, is when Sayyidna ‘Ali, may Allah be pleased with Him, was walking through the plain of Karbalah, he said ‘Ya Abu ‘Abd Allah Hussayn, Fasbir! Oh, (my son) Abu ‘Abd Allah Hussayn! Be patient (when facing the enemy in this place]’

This was because ‘Ali, may Allah be pleased with Him, was informed by the Messenger of Allah, (May Allah bless him and grant him peace), that his son, Hussayn [May Allah be pleased with Him], would be martyred at Karbalah.

Sayyidna ‘Ali, may Allah be pleased with Him, called Hussayn despite the fact that he was not present with him, and even though Hussayn could not hear his Father ‘Ali, may Allah be pleased with Him, but remained in his thoughts.

[Ibn Taymiyya, Minhaj-as-sunna, chapter Aswad-al-Qadeem]

Ya is all and every where in his Hadis .. #8

Imam Bukhari, Hafidhh Ibn Taymiyya and Qadi Shawkani all posed the same question, that if a person’s foot becomes numb, what should he do?

Their recommendations were the same, and included with their answer, the following hadith:

Some time after Rasul Allah, (May Allah bless him and grant him peace), had passed away, ‘Abd Allah Ibn ‘Umar [May Allah be pleased with Him] was in Najd where one day his foot became numb.

As a remedy to alleviate the pain, a person said to him. “Remember the one whom you love the most!”

Upon hearing this Ibn ‘Umar [May Allah be pleased with Him] said “Ya Muhammad! [May Allah bless him and grant him peace]” and his foot made an immediate recovery from numbness.

[Imam Bukhari, Adab al Mufrad al Kalim al Tayyab;

Hafidhh Ibn Taymiyya and Qadi Shawkani, Tuhfah al Dakireen chapter on Khadirat Rijluhu, and also Imam Nawawi’s Kitab al Adkar]

it was also said by Companions

During the Khilafa of Abu Bakr as- Siddique, may Allah be pleased with Him, there was a battle against the false prophet Musaylima [of Najd]. When the battle commenced, the Muslims lost their footing at which point Khalid bin Walid, may Allah be pleased with Him, and the rest of the companions called out “Ya Muhammad!” [May Allah bless him and grant him peace] and proceeded to win the battle.

[Tarikh at Tabari, - who shias and Wahhabi both regard as Authentic

Tarikh Ibn Kathir and Tarikh Qamil by Tabari, Hafidhh Ibn Kathir and Imam Ibn Athir and Ibn Jarir in Chapter Musaylima Kadhaab]

Karbala shareef #9

After the occasion of Karbala, Sayyida Zaynab, May Allah be well pleased with her, [the sister of Hussayn, may Allah be pleased with Him] and her company were taken as prisoners to Syria. When she passed the dead bodies she proclaimed: “Ya Muhammad!” [May Allah bless him and grant him peace] Your Hussayn is drenched in blood without a shroud or a grave, and Ya Muhammad! [May Allah bless him and grant him peace], your daughters are taken prisoners and your children have been killed

[Ibn Jarir and Tarikh Ibn Kathir in Chapter of Karbala*]

*For those of us, who have forgotten, Karbala took place in Iraq in 60AH. At that time Zaynab may Allah be well pleased with her, said ‘Ya Muhammad! [May Allah bless him and grant him peace]

CALLING IS NOT WORSHIP

This type of calling is not worship, of which an example is provided in the Qur’an when

Allah commanded Ibrahim, peace be upon him, to call the dead birds

[Surah Al- Baqara, verse 260]

The pious can hear from afar #10

1) The Prophet Sulaiman, peace be upon him, heard the conversation of the ants from a distance.

keep in mind wahbais claim only Allah can hear from distance !!!

[Al- Qur’an Surah al Namal verse 19]

2) The Messenger of Allah, (May Allah bless him and grant him peace), heard the footsteps of Bilal,may Allah be pleased with Him, in Paradise.

Bukhari and Muslim Kitab-al-Manaqib., Muslim., fazail Bilal]

3) Hafidhh Ibn al Qayyim writes:

The Messenger of Allah, (May Allah bless him and grant him peace), stated: ‘I hear the voice of every person who sends salams (peace and blessings) upon me, wherever he may be’.

[Hafidhh Ibn-al-Qayyim Jala-al-Afham page 145]

4) When women quarrel with their husbands who are righteous (and who go to paradise) the Hoors (fair Maidens of Paradise) listen to their arguing from Paradise whilst they are still on the earth.

[Mishkat-al-Masabih in Chapter of Mu’ashirat-an-Nisa]
