RABIUL-AKHIR- THE 4TH ISLAMIC
MONTH
(by Z. Fatima Ilyas, Islamic Times Manchester, July 2000)
The fourth month of the Islamic calendar is Rabiul-Akhir. May Allah Taala bless all the
Muslims with His outward and concealed blessings and excellence. In this very month
is the anniversary of the king of Baghdad, Chief of the contented souls, the
incomparable, Hazrat Ghausal Azam, Sheikh Mohi-Uddin, Abdul Qadir Jilani,
Hassani Hussaini, Bhagdadi (Radi Allahu Anh). Muslims throughout the world in
this month zealously make arrangements to offer Niyaaz and Fateha of the Saint of
Baghdad. Charity is also given in the name of pious saints of Islam as a means of
conveying reward to these blessed from which not only the poor and beggars benefit
a great deal but the souls of the believers also obtain peace and contentment.
"Essale Sawaab" means conveying the reward of. In this respect there is a hadith reported by
Hazrat Anas bin Malik (Radi Allahu Anhu) that he asked the Prophet: "oh Messenger of Allah,when we give charity on behalf of our dead and perform Hajj on their behalf, do they receive the
reward of these actions?" The Holy Prophet (Sall Allahu Alaihi wa Sallam) replied: "Without
doubt they do receive their rewards. Not only that, but they become very happy, just as any one
of you would become happy on receiving gifts."
In a second hadith the Messenger of Allah says: "Anyone who recites Surah Ikhlas 11 times and
then conveys its reward to the departed souls, Allah Taala will shower rewards on such a person
equal to the number of these souls"
These ahadiths serve as ample proof that the deceased souls do benefit from the good deeds and
charities of the living. This is an opportune moment to relate to you the saying of Sheikh
Sayadena Abdul Qadir Jilani (Radi Allahu Anh). Ghause Pak said that, "Whosoever in his
distress cries to me for help, he will be relieved of his distress; whosoever in his difficulty calls bymy name, his difficulty will be solved; whosoever in his time of need-makes me as his
intermediary to Allah Taala , his needs will be fulfilled. Any person who performs 2 rakats
Namaz in which after Surah Fateha, recites Surah Ikhlas 11 times and then making salam sends
Durood on the holy Prophet (Sal Allahu Alaihi wa Sallam), the garden of mercy after which he
thinks of me and takes 11 steps towards the direction of Iraq calling my name, then presents his
need, with Allah Taalas permission his need will be fulfilled."
The Namaz is known as Salatul Asrar or Salatul Ghausiyyah: which is a proven means of
obtaining fulfillment of ones needs and prayers. Salatul Asrar is explained by Imam Abdul
Hassan Nuruddin Alli Ibn Jaleel in Bahjatul Asrar, and Hazrat Mullah Ali Qari and Sheikh
Abdul Haq Muhaddith Dhelvi (Radi Allahu Anhum) have reported from Hazrat Ghausul Azam
(Radi Allahu Anh). Its method is as follows:
After completing the Farz and Sunnat of Maghrib Namaz, offer 2 rakats and in each rakat after
Surah Fateha recite 11 times Surah Ikhlas, then recite this dua 11 times:
Ya Rasul Allah hey Ya Nabi Allah Hey Aghisni was Amdidni fi Qadi ai hajati ya Qadi yal
hajat."
Then taking 11 steps in the direction of Iraq read the following on each step:
"Ya Ghaus-saqa-lainey ya Karim mat-tarfainey aghisni wa amdidni fi Qada-e hajati ya Qadi yal
hajat."
Thereafter, making the Holy Prophet (Sall Allahu Alaihi wa Sallam) as the intermediary present
ones needs and desires to Allah Taala.
This was a brief presentation in respect of the blessed month of Rabiul-Akhir.
