MAULID CELEBRATION ● Prof. Rashid Hussain Sultan Salwat (Sheihu Salawatia Qutub Az-Zaman RTA)

•──────﷽───────•

In celebrating the Maulid, I wish to say what Bernard Shaw said about the founder of Islam Prophet Muhammad (SAWAS) and I quote, “I have studied him the wonderful man, and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the saviour of humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the leadership of the modern world, he would succeed in solving the problems in a way that would bring it the much-needed peace and happiness.” He also added;

“He was by far the most remarkable man that ever set foot on this earth. He preached a religion, founded a state, built a nation laid down a moral code, initiated numerous social and political reforms, established powerful and dynamic society to practice and represent his teachings and completely revolutionized the worlds of human thought and behaviour for all times to come.” (A collection of Writings of some of the Eminent Scholars” published by the Working Muslims Mission, 1935 Edition, pp 77)

Also, Michael H. Hart in his recently published book on ranking of the most influential persons in History, who contributed toward the benefit and upliftment of mankind writes: ‘My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world’s most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels.’ See M. H. Hart, The 100: A ranking of the most influential persons in History, New York, 1978, pp. 33).

The Holy Prophets’ teachings to ensure total and permanent peace and happiness in the world are still intact and can be found in two main sources of Islamic Jurisprudence, namely the Quran and the Traditions.

Muslim celebrities like Imam Ahmed, Imam as-Saafi’i, Imam ibn Taimia, Imam ibn Al-Juzia, Ibn Kathir, Imam al-Sayuti, and most of the Salaf us-Saulih celebrated the Birthday of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAWAS).

THE FIRST MAULID OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD (SAWAS)

In Sahih Al-Bukhari, Hadith 7.38, Um Habiba the daughter of Abu Sufyan said that ‘Urwatu bn Az-Zubair; narrated the following … Thuwaiba had been a slave girl whom Abu Lahab had given her, her freedom, when she informed him of the good news that Amina had given birth to a baby boy. Thuwaiba was freed and suckled the Prophet. When Abu Lahb died, one of his relatives saw him in a dream in a very bad state and asked him, “What have you encountered?” Abu Lahb said, “I have not found any rest since I left you, except that I have been given water to drink on every Monday and that was because I freed Thuwaiba, and gave her freedom.”

THUWAIBA’S FREEDOM

The first Maulid was the gesture of Abu Lahb upon hearing the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWAS), he became extremely happy to the extent that; he gave Thuwaiba her freedom in appreciation of the good news of the birth of the Prophet. Every Monday, Abu Lahb, who later on became the arch-enemy of the Prophet and contributed to the persecution of the Prophet and his Companions to the extent of waging wars on him. Despite the enmity and persecution Abu Lahb died as a non-believer, incidentally, every Monday his punishment is reduced, and in addition to that he is given water to drink because of celebrating the birth of Prophet Muhammad (SAWAS) by freeing his slave girl.

What would be then the reward of a Muslim who believes in Allah and the Prophet and remembers the Prophet’s birthday and celebrates it with gifts of presents, because he/she is happy for this day and occasion, just like what Abu Lahb did? What would be his reward? Certainly without doubt his/ her reward will be much better than Abu Lahb who was only happy during the birth of the Prophet and freeing his slave girl but did not believe in the mission of this Universal Prophet.

FASTING ON MONDAYS

In Hadith 21498, Imam Ahmed Ibn Hambal is reported to have said that, Shuhba said ibn Abass said, the Prophet Muhammad (SAWAS) was asked, the reason behind his fasting on Mondays. The Prophet answered, “I am fasting on Mondays because it was the day I was born (commemorate his birth day), and the day my mission began”.

Imam Ahmad, Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam as-Shaafi’i, Imam Nabawi, Imam Hafiz
al-Asqalani, and most of the as-Salf us-Saulih celebrated the Maulid based upon the Hadith narrated by Imam Ahmad. If the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAWAS) could celebrate his birthday, to the extent that he fasted on Mondays, that is in line with remembering his birthday with a fast or with a prayer or with giving of alms like that of Abu Lahb.

IBN ABASS ON MAULID

In the book of At-Tanweer (The Birthday of the Prophet) page 25 written by al-Hafiz Abu al-Khatab ibn Dahiya, he said, ibn Abass on one occasion narrated to the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWAS) about his birthday contained in the Hadith of Imam Ahmed. When the Sahabi heard the narration, they praised Allah and asked Allah’s peace and blessing to be on the holy Prophet. The Holy Prophet (SAWAS) overheard them, and he came out to them and blessed them by saying special prayers for them. The Hadith 2376 of Imam Ahmad is as follows, on the authority of ibn Abass, who said the Prophet Muhammad (SAWAS) was born on a Monday, and called to Prophethood on a Monday, he left Mecca with the intention of migrating to Madina on a Monday, he reached Madina on a Monday, he lifted the black stone of the Kaaba and put it back on its position on a Monday.

SIGNIFICANCE OF MAULID - IBN TAIMIYA ON MAULID

Ibn Taimiya said, ‘dignifying maulid by celebrating it, and taking it as a way of preaching as most of the people do on that day has enormous reward for that intention and it is meant to uplift the image of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWAS). Ibn Taimiya was asked, “What about the people who congregate in the mosque to remember the name of Allah in Zikr and reading the Holy Quran and they pray to each other and seek the nearness to Allah by celebrating the birthday with good intention, is that considered lawful in Islam?” Ibn Taimiya replied, “All praises be to Allah, the congregation of Muslims to read the Quran and to Zikr and pray for each other on the occasion of the birthday of the Prophet is a good deed and highly recommended, if they do not do anything unlawful there with any innovation and un-Islamic deeds”. (Iqtidha’a al-Siraten al-Mustakeem, page 297, and also Magmuatu al-Fatawi vol. 22 page 523, all written by ibn Taimiya).

Since scholars like Bernard Shaw and Michael Hart who were non-Muslims appreciated the Holy Prophet of Islam and the manner in which they did, I think we the Muslims, the believers in Allah and the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAWAS) have a bigger obligation to dignify and keep his name high for the rest of the world to know and appreciate him.

I wish all Muslims a successful Maulid, may Allah bless us all.

RELIGIOUS PLURALITY & CO-EXISTENCE
● Prof. Rashid Hussain Sultan Salwat, Sheihu Salawatia (Qutub Zaman RTA)

•──────────﷽───────────•
“Religious plurality and co-existence is better for a peaceful and progressive future for all the different races and cultures of the world.

For me, I join the peace loving people of the to reject hateful religious preachings or teachings that endanger the co-existence of tribes, communities and nations at large.

It does not matter who the preacher is; they can be Muslim, Jewish or Christian. The fact that their hate preachings or teachings threaten the peace of the world requires that they must be condemned.”

THE LAST WEDNESDAY OF SAFAR,
THE DAY OF BAD OMEN STARTS TONIGHT
Date : 12th August, 2026

༺───────﷽───────༻

In the name of Allah (SWT), the Beneficent, the Merciful. May peace be upon our master Prophet Muhammad (SAWAS) and his household.

Surah An-Nahl, Verse 89:
… وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ تِبْيَانًا لِّكُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ

… and We have revealed the Book (Qur'an) to you explaining clearly everything, and a guidance and mercy and good news for those who submit.

In the above verse, it noted that "The Holy Quran was revealed as guidance, mercy and glad tidings for people who believe". Therefore, it was revealed to guide us in all aspects of our day in days out endeavors just as guidance doesn't only mean theological or spiritual but also set of rules in help man live happily on earth in peace for the Quran never left anything out in life without providing ruling on them. (Surah An-naam : 38)

The Creater of the universe is the same author of the Holy Quran and therein He made it clear that there are days amongst all days which are Bad (Nahis) whiles others are Good (Sa'eed) contrary to the common notion that all days are the same.

And the proof for “Nahis” (Bad) days in the Quran is whe Allah said that He had destroyed the disbelievers on “Nahis” (Bad) days in Surah Fussilat, Verse 16:

فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا صَرْصَرًا فِي أَيَّامٍ نَّحِسَاتٍ لِّنُذِيقَهُمْ عَذَابَ الْخِزْيِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَلَعَذَابُ الْآخِرَةِ أَخْزَىٰ وَهُمْ لَا يُنصَرُونَ

So We sent on them a furious wind (Evil Omen) on the unlucky (Nahis) days, that We may make them taste the chastisement of abasement in this world's life; and certainly the chastisement of the hereafter is much more abasing, and they shall not be helped.

Allah (SWT) is telling us that He punish people severely on those bad /unlucky/nahis days which implied that there are days amongst all days in the year which are not good.

And in Tafsir Qurtabi version 15/16, page 347, Qurtabi explained that these days are days of ill omen (Nahis). He also said that some of the companions used to explain ‘Nahis’ days are ominous day but Mujahid and Qatada said: it is the Wednesday of the last week of every ‘Safar’ month.

HOW TO AVOID THE BAD OMEN!
▪️ Wash all utensils and cover them.

▪️ All empty containers and utensils which have no lids should be turned upside down.

▪️ All drinking pots should be covered too.

▪️Drinking pots that have no lids, fresh branches of a tree should be put on top of the pots

▪️ Send children indoors before dark or immediately after Isha prayers and

▪️Put off lights and close all windows and doors with the recitation of the Basmallah.

I pray to the Almighty Allah to protect us from all calamities.

Assalamu Alaikum!

THE HOLY QURAN,
THE BOOK OF NUMBERS ■ Prof. Rashid Hussain Sultan Salwat, Sheihu Salawatia Qutub Zaman (r'a)

Asalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullaahi Ta'alaa Wa Barikatuhu. Bismillah Alhamdu lillah Wa Salaatu Wasalaam Alaa Rasuulullaah SAWAS

Many scientists have gone mute due to the scientifically proven that, Makkah and precisely, the Holy Kaabah is the center of this planet. Muslims throughout the world, should have held a kind of celebration of the scientific nature of the Holy Quran. However, it is totally overwhelming enough, in the absence of any celebration to be proud to be a Muslim. We Muslims, should however, work harder on our beliefs, faith in Allah SWT and unconditional obedience to Him and His Messenger, the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWAS.

In Quran Chapter 2 Verse 143, which is half of the total verses of 286 of Chapter 2, Allah SWT has emphatically pointed out by mentioning in the verse, the Center Nation, where His Beloved Holy Prophet Muhammad was to be born as a Mercy to the entire Universe and was to bring and to teach the world the most Upright Quran which guides to the Right Path and the Blueprint of Science and Technology. He also taught the best and the most Upright Deen, which is Islam.

In addition to that Allah SWT has furnished us with the information of His Will to establish the Holy Kaabah in Makkah as the Center with the 1.6 measurement when He directed and assigned to Prophet Ibrahim (AS) to rebuild His House for mankind to turn to in prayers. He also invited the whole of mankind and the extraterrestrial entities to visit His Holy House, thus, the annual pilgrimage, and stand in prayers (Salaat), bow and prostrate themselves to Him. They should also circumambulate around the House and give thanks to Him. Reference: Quran 22 Verse 26.

Meanwhile, the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWAS being born in Makkah with the measurement of 1.6, was also been created with the measurement of 1.6. His name Muhammad has the sum of 92. We already know that 92 is 2. When you subtract 56 from 92 you will get 36, the invert of 63, thus, his life span. Now if you divide 56 by 36, you will get 1.6. In other words, the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWAS is 1.6, the Blueprint of Creation being born in Makkah of 1.6. In addition to that, the human being is structuredly created by Allah SWT as a Muhammad in Arabic. This is indeed one of the greatest miracles in the entire universe. We Muslims cannot do without being most grateful to Allah SWT for His special blessings on us. Indeed Praise be to Him. Alhamdu Lillah.

That being said, in Quran Chapter 18, verses 1 to 3, Allah SWT has emphasized that, He revealed the Holy Quran to His Messenger, the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWAS without any difficulties to understand it. He revealed the Holy Quran which contains detailed and straightforward informations about everything in the universe. Allah SWT says: "Praise be to Allah, Who revealed the Book (the Quran) to His servant (the Holy Prophet Muhammad) without any ambiguities".

Quran Chapter 18 was revealed to warn (the wicked and mischievous people) of severe punishment from Him (Allah SWT) and at the same time, give good news to the Generous Believers who do good deeds that they shall have a great reward. (They shall be admitted into Paradise, where they stay in it forever.
This warming comes from Allah SWT, the Creator and the All-Knowing to those who find excitement in being wicked and mischievous to others amongst mankind and extraterrestrial entities. The warning is as a result of some elements within mankind and extraterrestrial entities, who emit untold hardships and sufferings to others without any tangible reason.

In the same Chapter 18, Verse 9, Allah SWT asked both mankind and the extraterrestrial entities, a question which does not need an answer from anybody; the answer has been already answered by Allah SWT Himself. Allah SWT says: "Or, do you think that the People of the Cave and the Number, were Our only miracles?"

The above verse provides us with the most adequate information on the subject matter of Numbers and Miracles. Some numbers are designed by Allah SWT to be so powerful to the extent that when they are implemented or mentioned, they suspend the effects of Time on everything and on the other hand, Space too, looses its distance altogether. An example was the case of Uzair which was mentioned in Part 2. Allah SWT said to him, thus: "……(Uzair), take a look at your food and drink, (one hundred) years passed and they were not affected by Time". Reference: Quran 2 Verse 259.

This phenomenon of Time Monopoly, suspended time from the people of the Cave for 300 years. Their hair, fingernails and toenails did not grow even a fraction of a centimeter. They did not eat nor drink for the duration of 300 years and above all, none of their clothings had worn out because Time was suspected from them. Yes, these are some effects of Numbers.

In Verse 25 of the same chapter 18, Allah SWT said: "…..And they remained in their cave (asleep) for three hundred years (300) and added nine.

If you calculate the phrase, "and they remained in their cave", you will get a sum of 785. And if you again calculate the phrase, "for three hundred years", you will get the sum of 1,247. Now, if you divide the number 1,247 by 785, you will get 1.58 and when converted you will get 1.6. The Blueprint of Creation.

In Quran 6/75, Allah SWT said:
"And so, We opened up the miracles of the kingdom of the heavens and the earth to Ibrahim so that, he shall be amongst those who acquired the Knowledge of Certainty.
Now if you calculate the sum of the phrase, "And so We opened up to Ibrahim", you will get 1,295. And if you calculate the sum of, "of the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth", you will get 2,072. Therefore, now divide 2,072 by 1,295, you will get 1.6. The Blueprint of Creation.

Incidentally, the verse number is 75 and the total number of letters in the verse are 47 letters. Now if you divide 75 by 47, you will get 1.6 as a result. Here again, the Blueprint of Creation has manifested itself.

In Quran Chapter 7 Verse 185, Allah SWT has given mankind an open invitation to acquire the Knowledge of Certainty which is the most precious and beneficial gift ever. That was the same knowledge He bestowed upon Prophet Ibrahim AS as mentioned in Quran Chapter 6 verse 75. So, Allah SWT appeals to mankind by saying thus: "Would they not look into the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and the things which Allah has created? And for them to perceive whether the end of their lives has drawn near (or not); what information would they then believe in after this?"

There is a big difference between looking at and looking into. Looking at implies gazing at something to see whether it is beautiful or otherwise. To know whether you are in danger or otherwise, etc. However, looking into something implies only one thing, and that is to search. For example, looking into a car or a bag is to find what you want or to search and know the content in the car or bag. So if we are invited by Allah SWT to look "into" the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and the things Allah SWT has created, that simply means that, there are somethings which are useful to us, for us to benefit from them by looking into the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and the things Allah has created.

Now, the sum of the phrase, "Would they not look into" is 1,334. The sum of the other phrase, "In the Kingdom of the heavens and earth", is 2,072. Now when you divide 2,072 by 1,334, you will get 1.55 and when converted, you will get 1.6. The Blueprint of Creation. Apparently, in Quran Chapter 14 Verse 34, teaches that mankind is heedless of the favors of Allah SWT on them.

Allah SWT declares; "And He gives you everything you ask Him for. And if you were to count the favors of Allah on you, you will not be able to compute them. Most surely, man is very unjust and very ungrateful". So, brothers and sisters, let us deal with people justly and let us be grateful to Allah SWT always. Now, let us watch this video and appreciate the 1.6 measurement of Makkah which was in existence before the recent Golden Ratio which came to us very late indeed. The discovery of Makkah as the Center of this planet was in 2009.

On this note, I pray to the Almighty Allah to curtail the Coronavirus pandemic for the whole of humanity. I pray for all nations and individuals on the planet. I pray for prosperity for everybody, may Allah bless all of us.

THE HOLY QURAN,
THE BOOK OF NUMBERS ● Prof. Rashid Hussain Sultan Salwat, Sheihu Salawatia (Qutub Zaman RTA)

•──────────﷽───────────•

Asalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullaahi Ta'alaa Wa Barikatuhu. Bismillah Alhamdu lillah Wa Salaatu Wasalaam Alaa Rasuulullaah.

To describe the Holy Quran as a miraculous Book is to say the least about the Holy Quran. The Holy Quran, for sure, contains numerous mathematical patterns, and for that reason, the description of the Holy Quran by Allah SWT, as a Book of Numbers (Kitaabun Marquumun) is in the right direction, not only it is in the right direction, but also it is genuinely justifiable as a Book of Numbers, authored by the Creator, Allah, Himself. The word Kitaab has 3 letters. That was the instruction by Allah to be written as 3 letters. The word Marquumun has 5 letters. Now, the mathematics of dividing 5 by 3=1.6, the blueprint of creation in general.
Quran Chapter 83 has 36 verses; an invert of Quran Chapter 36. Chapter 36 has 83 verses. Allah SWT declares in Quran Chapter 83 Verses 7 to 9, thus:

"Most certainly, the records of the wicked and mischievous people is in Sijjiin. And what is Sijjiin? It is a Book of Numbers. Sijjiin means "prison", coming from the word "Sijin". It has the sum of 123, and when converted into a single digit, it gives you 6, and 6 means the duration of the creation of the Universe.

Apparently, there are some people who do not think outside the box. They do not perceive that, the Universe itself is part of creation, created by Creator, Allah. So they hooked on, onto creation. In other words, they have deliberately and consciously imprisoned themselves. Let me put it diplomatically that the perception of some people about the universe is that, it has its own powers to benefit some people, to the contrary, the universe is part of creation, created by Allah SWT as He created you too.

In the same Chapter, 83, verses 18 to 20, Allah SWT declares:

Most certainly, the records of the righteous are in Iliyuun. And what is Iliyuun? It is a Book of Numbers. Iliyuun means elevation to the highest station. Iliyuun has the sum of 166 and when converted into a single digit, it gives you 4. The 4 presents the 4 letters of the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWAS. Those who believe in the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWAS and believe in the Message (the Quran) he received from Allah SWT and communicated it to mankind, are the ones to be elevated on earth and in the hereafter.

In Quran Chapter 17 Verse 9, Allah SWT emphatically stated thus:

Certainly, this Quran guides to the most upright and most adequate (guidance). It also gives good news to the believers that the righteous shall have a great reward (from Allah).
The above verse provides a clear explanation of Iliyuun and that all the informations in and from the Holy Quran are straightforward to the point with the most adequate information. It therefore stands to reason that, whatever information you read from the Holy Quran, is undoubtedly, the total and accurate true information.

Allah SWT has emphatically stated in Quran Chapter 41 Verse 53 thus;

We shall definitely show them Our signs in the Universe and in their own creation, until it becomes quite manifest to them that (the Quran) is indeed the absolute truth. Is it not sufficient enough for them that your Lord (O Muhammad SAWAS) is a witness over all things? Now, the exposition of the above verse, makes it abundantly clear that everything we know or ought to know is available in the Holy Quran and not only available but also accomplished with precision and accuracies.

Why should Allah SWT furnished us with this information that, the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWAS was sent as a Mercy to the entire Universe? Reference: Quran 21 Verse 107. This statement of Allah SWT was as a result of the enormous benefits the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWAS brought to humanity. The coming to the world by the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWAS was to rejuvenate and to adequately equip mankind with all what it takes in the achievement of Science and Technology. He also came to cleanse and purify the hearts, the minds and the souls of mankind. With the most standard achievable ever, the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWAS came and taught mankind the Book (Quran) and the wisdom of accusation of things, thus, Science and Technology. Reference: Quran 62 Verse 2.

The Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWAS is reported to have provided us the following information about the miraculous nature of the Holy Quran. He said; "Its Miraculous nature is inexhaustible. Scholars cannot quench their taste for the provision of the abundance of knowledge of the Holy Quran. The extraterrestrial entities, when they heard the Holy Quran being recited, did not hesitate to say that; 'we have indeed listened to and heard a wonderful and miraculous Quran'". Reference: Quran Chapter 72 Verse 1 and At-Tirmidhi, Book 45, Hadith 3,153.

Certainly, these numbers 2, 4, 5, 9 and 1.6, have their bearings on the name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWAS. The figures have been intentionally picked by Allah SWT for His Beloved Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWAS. They are indicators pointing to the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWAS that indeed he was a Messenger of Allah. He was the reason, if you like, the energy behind creation in general.

Chapter 2 of the Holy Quran has 286 verses. Half of 286 is 143. Apparently, as students of the Holy Quran, we should expect to see in the verse providing us with the information about these words; half, middle, center, etc. This is because it is half of the total verses in the chapter. The center was indeed mentioned and not only mentioned but also mentioned as the Center Nation where Makkah is located. It is therefore a confirmation that the Center of this planet is Makkah and automatically, it should have something valuable to offer to the generality of the people of the planet. It has to be the most precious gift….and the most precious gift came in the form of Islam, meaning, total submission to the Will of the Creator, Allah SWT.

So, for the purpose of and for mankind to understand the Holy Quran to full capacity, Allah SWT has authored the Holy Quran to be the only book of its kind in existence, Allah SWT says: And We have purposely made you the Center Nation so that you may bear witness over the people (humanity in general) and the Messenger shall also bear witness over you. And We establish the Qiblah (direction of Salaat) for you to turn to (in prayer) in order to distinguish between he who follows the Messenger faithfully from the one who turns on his back and flees. This was surely hard except for those whom Allah has rightly guided. Allah will not make your faith fruitless. Absolutely, Allah is Most Affectionate and Merciful to mankind.

Makkah as a city, has been mentioned in the Holy Quran, twice. Quran Chapter 3 Verse 96 and Quran Chapter 48 verse 24.
Most certainly, the first house appointed for (worship) for mankind is the one at Bakkah (the ancient name of Makkah) full of blessings and a guidance for humanity. Reference Quran 3 Verse 96.

And it was He (Allah) Who restraint their hands from you and your hands from them in the valley of Makkah after He (Allah) had given you victory over them. And Allah sees whatever you do. Reference: Quran Chapter 48 Verse 24.
Bakkah, starting with the letter, "Ba", connotes, "Baadiyya", meaning; remote, isolation, distance, etc. Then Allah SWT replaced the "Ba" with a "Mim", to be called "Makkah" henceforth. The "Mim" connotes "Mujtami'ah", meaning; rendezvous, togetherness, unification, etc.

Names have effects on everything in creation. They have Frequency Resonance, Vibrational Sequence, Electromagnetic Force and the Law of Attraction. The change of name from Bakkah to Makkah was meant to call and invite the entire beings inhibiting the universe to attend the annual pilgrimage to be familiar with the direction of Salaat (prayers, worship).
Now, if you consider Bibakkah as one word, it gives you the sum of 29, and 2+9=11, 1+1=2, and 2 is the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWAS. On the other hand, if you remove the "Ba" and consider Bakkah as one word, it gives you the sum of 27 which is 9, thus 2+7=9, and 9 can also be 6+3, that is to say, the 63 years of the total life span of the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWAS on earth.

In Quran Chapter 48 Verse 24, Makkah is clearly one word which has the sum of 65, and again, 6+5=11 and 1+1=2, and 2 is the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWAS. This can never be coincidence, it is however, an indicator to the fact that, Allah SWT will eventually raise and send the last and seal of Prophets, the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWAS from Makkah (the Center Nation) as a Messenger to the generality of Humanity.

On this note I pray to the Almighty Allah to curtail the Coronavirus pandemic for the whole of humanity. I pray blessings from the Almighty Allah for everybody. I pray to the Almighty Allah to promote and give us excellent health and prosperity. I pray for nations and individuals to be blessed. I pray for everybody, may Allah bless all of us.

CODE OF CONDUCT OF THE MURID; THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF TARIQATU TIJANIYAH ● Prof. Rashid Hussain Sultan Salwat, Sheihu Salawatia (Qutub Zaman RTA)

•──────────﷽───────────•
Tariqat ut-Tijaniyya is not only a spiritual religious practice but it is the mainstream Islam that is found on the streamlining conduct of the Murid against all social ills and unacceptable vices. Everything Islam disapproves is also rejected by the teachings of Tijaniyya.

The Murid conforms totally to all that Allah SWT, The Prophet Muhammad (SAWAS) and the Sheihu Recommends practice to the Best of their Ability and understanding. The reverse holds and therefore the Murid will also abstain from all practices that are contrary to Islamic teachings. As a way of life, Islam has made provision for the best guidance to that believing men and women will all attain the highest level of piety in this world and become the forebears of Jannatul-Fitdaws.

In sum, this is the special gift Allah (SWT) has bestowed on the faithful ones, yet majority of Muslims shun this practice for other unauthenticated practices based on spurious and counterproductive Islamic teachings.

When Allah (SWT) asks His servants to do something, He does not seek anything less than that what he requires of them. It is time Muslim wake up to the realization that their salvation lies in the teachings of the Tariqah. The Tariqah is a free gift for the good of this world and the hereafter.

No one will have any excuse to do anything less because the Quran has provided guidance on how to be on the Straight Path of Allah (SWT) by following the Millah (or Tariqah) of Prophet Ibrahim (A.S). Through this, the Murid is assured to attain conformity and perfection in faith.
