Knowledge of Masoomeen AS: Maulana Hasan Zafar Naqvi

The house of Bibi Fatima SA

Prophet Mohammed SA.W.W often paid salam at the House of Hazrat Bibi Syeda Fatima SA just to show people the importance of this house. He used to give Salam daily and sometimes many times a day. Why Prophet Mohammed S.A.W.W has done this? what he was trying to tell us?

Maulana Syed Hassan Zafer Naqvi Sahab told the importance of this heavenly house of Bibi Syeda Fatima SA in comparison to the house of Bibi Hajra SA.

The house of Bibi Hajra SA

In the pilgrim 'Maqam Ismail/Hateem/Hajr Ismail' is included in Tawaf. 'Hateem' is semicircle around the Khana Kaba included in Tawaf.
Why this semi-circle is included in Tawaf? If Tawaf is just moving around the Khana Kabah then why this semi-circle is also included in Tawaf?
Some people say that it is because Kabah's actual boundaries were very vast in the past that is why 'Hateem' is being included in Tawaf. Moulana said if it is so, then why don't you build Kabah up to that boundaries. Many times Kabah has been fallen but why don't you build Kabah up to your that imaginary boundaries?

Maulana said this semi-circle is obligatory to be included in Tawaf. You can't go through this semi-circle to reduce your round of Tawaf. Even though today it is permissible to move outside the 'Maqam Ibrahim' in such cases as you are sick, weak, or fear of being stuck in the crowd then it is allowed to move outside the 'Maqam Ibrahim' in tawaf. This permission is granted by every Muslim sect.

But in the case of 'Hateem/Maqam Ismail', you cant reduce your tawaf by going through the 'Hateem'. Yes, it is permissible to recite pray in 'Hateem' but you can't walk through it and perform Tawaf. So what is the reason? clearly, there must have been a very big reason that is why Allah S.W.T is restricting people from entering in this semi-circle.

Maulana then told, in books it is written that 70 or 70,000 graves of Prophets are in this semi-circle. One can doubt whom graves are there, but two of most sure graves are there and they are the graves of Prophet Ismail (PBUH) and his mother Bibi Hajra SA.
Not only their graves but this part was also the house of Bibi Hajra SA. As it is stated in Quran Hazrat Ibrahim AS said: "I am leaving my family near Kabah". Prophet Ibrahim AS left Prophet Hazrat Ismail AS and Bibi Hajra SA there to live. This semi-circle is actually the "House of Bibi Hajra SA".
So in the honor of that woman who gave so many sacrifices for Islam, ALLAH S.W.T restricted people from walking through her home with their feet. It is as important as the Holy place of Kabah.

Comparison between both houses

No doubt, Bibi Hajra SA is the mother of Prophet Ismail AS but the lady above the Bibi Hajra SA is Bibi Syeda Fatima SA. That is the reason Prophet Ibrahim AS never did Salam at the 'Hateem' but Prophet Mohammed SA.W.W. did this Salam many times at the House of Hazrat Bibi Syeda Fatima SA just to show people the importance of this house.

Today, Unfrorutanely Prophet Mohammed SA.W.W's every act is sunnah but this act is not been followed by his followers.WHY???
Even if someone wants to pay Salam to this heavily home you will nothing but so many boundaries, hurdles, and army converting that area.

Battle of Trench

Allama Hassan Zafer Naqvi is the most honorable and respected scholar of Pakistan. He has an ample of knowledge and wisdom that reflects in his speeches.
In one of his speeches, he narrated the incident that happened in the "Battle of trench" with Imam Ali Ibne Abi Talib As.

Not only in the "Battle of Trench" Imam Ali Ibne Abi Talib AS was the hero of every battle for Islam. But in this battle of trench, something different happened that was never meant to be done with the great warrior.

By winning this battle Imam Ali Iben Abi Talib AS again came out as a one-man army. At the end of the battle, he walked towards the Prophet Mohammed S.A.W.W with pride and Honor while carrying the head of 'Amer Ibne Abde wadh' on one hand and his famous sword 'Zulfiqar' on the other hand.

After seeing this, people around Prophet Mohammed S.A.W.W didn't digest his success and started pointing towards the walk of Imam Ali AS. They said Imam Ali As is walking with arrogance and arrogance is prohibited in Islam. They said to Prophet Mohammed S.A.W.W it is your preaching that don't be arrogant then how could Imam Ali AS walk like this?

In response, Prophet Mohammed S.A.W.W said: "On the battlefield, after killing the enemies of God (ALLAH S.W.T) likes the same walk of the warriors which Imam Ali AS is following ".
