How to Increase your Love for the Prophet (s)

(The meaning of arabic text is Alive in our hearts)

1. The theory -The Who or the outward love shows you how to be like him (s)
i-Hilya Shareef
ii-Shamail Tirmidhi
iii-Kitab Ash-shifa

2. The practise -The How or the Inner love helps the heart to be close to him (s)
i - Dalail khayrat by Imam Jazuli
ii- Burda Shareef of Imam Busiri

1. The theory – As for the Who – that is learning who he the beloved of Allah (s)was and is and that can’t be done unless you learning about him (s).

i-Hilya Shareef - this is the abridged one page of the Shamail  which has a few verses of  Quran and Hadith about the Virtues and Noble Characteristics of The Prophet Muhammad (s).

 (hilya Shareef)

Also the “Nalain shareef-Blessed Sandals“  i would like to add here, Of the proven blessing of the likeness of the Prophet’s (s) sandal is that whoever has it in his possession for tabarruk, it will safeguard him from the sedition of rebels and the mastery of enemies, and will be a barrier against every recreant devil and the evil eye of the envious. If the pregnant woman holds it in her right hand at the time of labour, her delivery will be easier by Allah’s change and His might. See link about Nalain shareef -link to be added.

 
(nalain shareef)

ii-Shamail Tirmidhi -  this is a Small book/ text about The Virtues and Noble Characteristics of The Prophet Muhammad (s).

The Compendium of Prophetic Beauty – A translation & commentary of Imam al-Tirmidhi’s al-Shamail al-Muhammadiyya By: Muhammad Danyaal.
This translation of al-Shamā’il al-Muḥamadiyya is a complete translation of all 415 narrations of the original Arabic text. For the ease of the reader, the chains of narration have been omitted in the translation but retained within the original Arabic. available next week 27th April see link Shamail talk

iii-Kitab Ash-shifa of Qadi Iyad  this a more detail/comprehensive larger book the full name is Kitab Ash-shifa bi tarif huqub al-Mustafa, (Healing by the recognition of the Rights of the Chosen One), of Qadi Iyad is perhaps the most frequently used and most commented upon handbook in which the Prophets life, his qualities his characteristics and miracles are described in every detail.

Also i would like to add  reading the Sirah-The Prophet’s Biography. This is usually done in the month of Mawlid on this Birthday classically. 

2. The practise – As for the How,  so once you have done step one which is to learn Who or the outward understand about him (s) which is also to copy or emulate him (meaning the following his “Sunnah-his way”) why when you love someone you emulate them.  Just look at those who love footballers or singers how they emulate them in dress and style and learn about there lifestle and habits.

The questions is why are we not doing the same for our hero and “star-Najm” the beloved of Allah(s) and show our love? by finding out Who he was and is that allows the mental “brain -’aql” to build a vision of him-(Muraqabah) in our minds and helps to  stir up a longing to love him also  step one helps the mind to also to see him in dreams, its known that after doing a intensive Shamail Tirmidhi  course many students also see the beloved in dreams to further underpin that love one needs the other “‘aql-the Heart” to also connect to him through the soul and mind and body, by praying or reciting salawat shareef and Poems or Odes of  and about him. As for salawat shareef this is an order from Allah from the Quran Surah:

Innallaha wa malaikatahu yusalluna ‘alannabi ya ayyuhalladzina amanu sallu alaihi wasallimu taslima-Allah and His angels shower blessings on the Nabee (Prophet). You who believe! Ask blessings on him and salute him with a worthy salutation/ abundantly. (33:56)

This a Command for all that Believe and is also fard upon Muslims to Love him, praise or not any not abit but abundantly meaning do it alot.

Note:
Also very important point Salawat shareef that is prays upon him (S) is actual  pure Nur-Light that enters the body,mind soul makes it  Nur too or part of the Salawat Nur encompasses or engulfs the reader too and cleanses them from sins due to the nature that its an order from Allah, he too is doing it so are his Angels and its the only guaranteed ibadah too and its blessings are endless and reading a powerful salawat shaeef gives more Nur-lights or anwar-lights as the energy it carries is more in powerful and many use them for needs to be fulfilled or problems to be quickly resolved such as marriage, jobs or other  personal isssues.

i - Dalail khayrat by Imam Jazuli is a comprehensive book of  salawat and salam that abundantly praise the beloved of Allah(s)

(cover of Dalail khayrat)

ii- Burda Shareef of Imam Busiri  is 160 line of  poem or Ode  there every verse ends in the letter Meem of Poems or Odes – An Ode is a poem that is often written elevated in style or manner and written in varied or irregular meter and is meant to be sung.

(cover of Burdah shareef)

There are many  books of Salawat Shareef and other Odes that can be mentioned but these are the most well known and most ones.

The Nalain  Shareef are the Sandals of the Prophet Muhammad (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam), which were used by the Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) in His life. Below are some of the ‘barakah’ blessings one can acquire by keeping and honouring themselves with a copy of the sacred Nalain shareef. Not the actual or original Blessed shoe/slipper of our Noble

Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) but a cut out man made paper copy. Because the intention is to make and shape it to be in the manner of our Prophets it holds such value and is revered as it has nisbah with the ‘Nalain Paak’ worn on the Noble feet of the Greatest of Mankind.

An original pair of the Prophets (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) ‘Nalain As Shareef’ have been kept and safeguarded in the Famous Islamic Museum the Blue Mosque in Turkey

The Image or photocopy which you see in the post is a copy/print are impression together with the description of the Blessings obtained by the Nalain  Shareef.

 They are a lot of Blessings to be obtained by the Nalain shareef and to be kept in a purse for barkat or framed in a wall is very popular.

Abu Ishaq said: al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, son of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq  R.A, said: Of the proven blessing of the likeness of the Prophet’s sallallahu alaihe wasallam (S.A.W) sandal is that whoever has it in his possession for tabarruk, it will safeguard him from the sedition of rebels and the mastery of enemies, and will be a barrier against every recreant devil and the evil eye of the envious. If the pregnant woman holds it in her right hand at the time of labour, her delivery will be easier by Allah’s change and His might.

Al-Qastallani relates the account of a pious shaykh by the name of Abu Ja`far Ahmad ibn `Abd al-Majid:

I cut the pattern of this sandal for one of my students. He came to me one day and said: “I saw a wonder yesterday from the blessing of this sandal. My wife was suffered from a pain which almost took her life. I placed the sandal on the spot of her pain and said: O Allah subhana watallah (S.W.T), show me the blessing of the owner of this sandal. Allah cured her on the spot.”

al-Munawi and al-Qari mentioned in their commentary on Tirmidhi’s al-Shama’il that Ibn al-`Arabi said that the sandals are part of the attire of prophets, and the people only left them due to the mud in their lands. He also mentioned that one of the names of the Prophet in the ancient books is sahib al-na`layn or “The wearer of the two sandals.”  

Certain great Sahaba’s have distinguished themselves with serving the noble sandals. It has been reported by Ibn Sa`d that Anas (Allah be well pleased with him) was the keeper of the sandals of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace).

And Imam al-Salihi reported that `Abd Allah ibn Mas`ud (Allah be pleased with him) used to get up as soon as the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) sat down, and would take off the His sandals, and place them under his own arms. Then, when the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) would get up, he would put them on him. He was often called ‘the Caretaker of the sandals, couch and water bag’.

 Hadrat Fatima Zahra (Radi Allahu anha) who went to the resting place of her Beloved father (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) and taking a handful of dust put it to her eyes saying;

“One who smells the dust of the grave of the Most Beloved Messenger (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) of Allah would not need to smell any other perfume in His life, Such calamities have befallen me that if they had descended upon days they would have fallen into nights.”

The Ulema and the A’imma have requested that the Nalain Shareef (sandals) of the Holy Prophet (Sall’Allahu Ta’ala Alayhi Wa’alihi Wa’sallam) to be printed on paper and in books. An actual picture of the Holy Prophet’s (Sall’Allahu Ta’ala Alayhi Wa’alihi Wa’sallam) Nalain Shareef or an impression together with a description of the blessings is utilised to obtain blessings of Nalain Shareef.  There are many blessingsfor a person to keep a picture of Nalian Shareef with him.  This is not uncommon to see Muslims of all ages wearing badges in the shape of Nalain Shareef. The Ulema have commanded that it be kissed, rubbed over the yes or kept on the head.آ It can be used as mediation, cure for illness and has great blessings.

When Musa (Alayhi sallam) went to Mount Toor to speak to Allah Ta’ala he was asked to remove His sandals.آ However, during Mira’j when the Holy Prophet (Sall’Allahu Ta’ala Alayhi Wa’alihi Wa’sallam) went to see Allah Ta’alla He wore His Nalain Shareef but He was not ordered to remove them.Some people say that pictures of the Nalain Shareef of the Holy Prophet (Sall’Allahu Ta’ala Alayhi Wa’alihi Wa’sallam) are doubtful, that these pictures are made of the local ink and paper and, therefore, to kiss this picture is not permissible.

The picture of the Nalain Mubarak is the photocopy of the holy sandals, which were used by the Holy Prophet (Sall’Allahu Ta’ala Alayhi Wa’alihi Wa’sallam) in His life. It bears the description and the related story connected with it. We pay respect to the Holy Qura’an which is printed on the paper with ink or colour used in its printing. Both the paper and the ink are locally manufactured and these were not brought from the Heaven.

But we give due reverence to it believing it as the print of the Holy Qura’an and no other book.آ The respect paid to the printed Qura’an is in fact the respect paid to the Holy Qura’an, which was revealed to the Holy Prophet (Sall’Allahu Ta’ala Alayhi Wa’alihi Wa’sallam)It is mentioned in ‘Al-Kalam-ul-Auazeh’ that a venerable saint, Sheikh Ibn-e-Habib Elahiآ (Rahmathulahi alay) said:

“I placed the sacred impression of the Sandal of the Holy Prophet (Sall’Allahu Ta’ala Alayhi Wa’alihi Wa’sallam) over the abscess that did not get healed by any medicine. I got relief at once.”

The Image or photocopy which you see in the post is a copy/print are impression together with the description of the Blessings obtained by the Nalian Shareef. They are alot of Blessings to be obtained by the Nalian shareef and to be kept in a purse for barkat or framed in a wall is very popular.

It is mentioned in Sahih Bukhari; That Hadrat Ali (karam Allahu wajhu) was cured of His eye ailment when the Messenger (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) of Almighty Allah applied his saliva to His eye.

It is also narrated that Hadrat Bilal (Radi Allahu anhu) used to rub his face on the grave of the Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam).

The practice of Tabarruk was common among the companions of the Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) the Noble companions gave the utmost respect to the relics of the Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) the companions May Allah raise their ranks, they used to seek blessings from the traces of the Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) during his lifetime and death.

They made the relics a means for cure in this world and acquisition of Divine Mercy after death. They obtained Tabarruk from His beloved Body, (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) which gave instant results.

Below are some of the ‘barakah’ blessings one can acquire by keeping and honouring themselves with a copy of the sacred Nalain shareef. Not the actual or original Blessed shoe/slipper of our Noble Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam) but a cut out man made paper copy. Because the intention is to make and shape it to be in the manner of our Prophets it holds such value and is revered as it has nisbah with the ‘Nalain Paak’ worn on the Noble feet of the Greatest of Mankind.

THE BLESSINGS & BENEFITS OF NALAIN SHARIFF

The Great Muslim theologians have listed many benefits and blessings in keeping and venerating a copy of the Nalain Shareef. Some of these are listed below.

* The person will be safe from the harms of the cruel, wickedness of the Satan and from the bad sight of the enviers.
* The pain of childbirth will be eased for eased for the woman who keeps it with her at the time of delivery.
* The person who always keeps a copy of it with him will have respect in the sight of creation.
* He will have the opportunity to see the Blessed Green Dome – Ghumbad-e-Khizra in Madeena Shareef.
* He will have the honour in seeing the Holy Prophet in his dream.
* His property or wealth will be safe in a place where the Nalain Shareef is kept.
* A person’s needs will be met when he prays through the waseela of the Nalain Shareef.
* A person who keeps the Nalain Shareef for a particular reason will have his wishes fulfilled.
* The person will be safe from thieves, calamities and dangers such as drowning.
* The disease and ailments go away when the Nalain Shareef is placed over the affected part.
* Success and deliverance were gained through the Nalain Shareef in oppressive times.

(The Blessings are not limited to the list above but are also obtained when in other circumstances as well.)

Writers and poets wrote eloquently in praise of the noble sandals and in describing the feelings of ecstatic love for their wearer (Allah bless him and give him peace). Imam Abu al-`Abbas gathered a significant amount of these writing in his aforementioned work, as well as in his treatise Azhar al-Riyad

Imam Yusuf al-Nabahani recited about the Prophet’s sallallahu alaihe wasallam (S.A.W) sandals:

May the best of blessings and peace be upon the owner of these blessed sandals.
Verily I serve the image of the Sandal of Mustafa
So that I may live in both worlds under its protection

and

wa na`lun khada`na haybatan li waqariha
fa inna mata nakhda`u li haybatiha na`lu
fa da`ha `ala a`la al-mafariqi innaha
haqiqataha tajun wa surataha na`lu

We are lowered by awe to honour this Sandal.
And whenever we lower before it we are raised.
So place it on the highest shelf!
For indeed in reality it is a crown, though its image is a sandal.

And when Imam al-Fakhani first saw the Prophet’s  sallallahu alaihe wasallam (S.A.W) sandals he recited:

wa law qila li al-majnuni layla wa wasluha
turidu am al-dunya wa ma fi zawayaha
laqala ghubarun min turabi ni`aliha
ahabbu ila nafsi wa ashfa li balawaha

And if Layla’s Madman were asked: do you prefer
Union with Layla, or the world and its treasures?
He would answer: “Dust from the earth of her sandals
Is dearer to my soul, and its most soothing remedy.”

The great Ashiq-e-Rasool, Ala Hadrat Rehmatullahi ‘Alaih wrote:

Jo sar pe rakh ne ko
mill ja yai Nalain Paak Hazoor sallallahu alaihe wasallam (S.A.W)
to phir kahain gai ke
haan Tajdaar hum bi hain

If only i get such an honour to place
on my head the Holy Sandals of The Prophet sallallahu alaihe wasallam (S.A.W)
then i would proudly claim that
yes i have been crowned as King as well.

The famous Hindu poet, Dillo Ram wrote (who on his death bed, was visited by the Beloved Prophet sallallahu alaihe wasallam (S.A.W), and accepted Islam):

Gar shams aur qamar ko koi daman mein chupale
aflak ke taro ko koye haatho se chunale
ghar daulat e dahrain ko koye hatho pe uthale
phir koye mujhse pooche ke tu kya leh?
khalqa prasad se pooch ke tu kya lee chand, suraj, sitare, daulat?
phir mein bolo keh nalain e muhammad  sallallahu alaihe wasallam (S.A.W) ko ankhon se lagaloo!!

if somebody hides the sun and moon in his lap
if someone with their hands picks the stars collects them,
if somebody lifts the entire treasure’s of the world and puts it on his hands,
and then if somebody asks me what do you want?
do you want sun, moon, stars, the entire treasuere of the world?
then i shall say that i want to put the Sandals of  Muhammad  sallallahu alaihe wasallam (S.A.W) on my eyes!!
