Adil Najam
Today is 12 Rabi-ul-Awal – and Eid Milad-un-Nabi – marking the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).
I sit at the airport in New York awaiting my PIA flight to Lahore to be announced, knowing that the whole country will be decked up and glowing for the occasion. Cannot wait to be part of the festivities. On this, the birthday of the Rehmatulil Aalameen, I pray and wish for rehmat not only for the Prophet’s believers in Pakistan, but for all people in Aalameen. It seems to me that to personalize His (PBUH) rehmat as if it were only for the few who we think “got” the message right, is – it seems to me – to miss the entire message itself.
So, today, on this Eid Milad-un-Nabi, I pray in the name of the Rehmatulil Aalameen (PBUH) for rehmat for all aalameen, and for all people everywhere. May they – may we – be all blessed with peace.
To me part of the memories of Eid Milad-un-Nabi in Pakistan was always the amazingly powerful devotional poetry of the naat – and none better than from Muzaffar Warsi, who died recently. It is apt, then, to share one of his most famous naats on this auspicious day.
On this occasion of Birthday of best of entire humanity our beloved Rasul Allah SAWS, Muslims in general and Pakistani Muslims in particular should pledge NOT to call those Kafir who believe our beloved Rasul Allah SAWS was the last and greatest messenger of Allah SWT.
Personal Disclosure:
I hold belief that:
1-There is no God but Allah (SWT) and Muhammad (SAWS) WAS HIS LAST AND GREATEST PROPHET.
2-No new or old prophet can come after Rasul Allah SAWS.
3-I consider all reciters of Kalima-Shahada as Muslims.
4-I do NOT belong to Qadiani organization headed by their Khalifa residing in England, which holds belief that thousands of prophets can come after Rasul Allah SAWS (nauzubilah), but they will only come in their Qadiani organization.
@Rehman
Yes Rehman do shut up and go kiss up to your murderous thug of a hero, Qadri rather than threatening to kill liberals who actually have a life…:P
@Rahman: You talk as if you own Islam or, as they say in Urdu, you got it in your jahaiz. People like you are an ugly stain on the fair name of Islam.
Ameed. You may also want to correct the video tag on your post.
Thanks for a beautiful message. Peace for all!
