TRUE AKIDAH IN ISLAM, A Path Of Paradise ( Jannah )

In the name of Allah Subhanahu, the most merciful and generous for whom all
the praises belong.

In the holy book quraan, at the starting verses after first chapter Surah Fateha,
i.e. the stating few verses in surah Bakarah, there is a mentioning of the
definition to identify the people of the faith and infidels. There is a mentioning
in these verses about the people who declared themselves to have brought faith
but Allah said that in fact, they had no faith at all and in their hearts there was
a desease ! These are called as munaafiq. The munaafiq are hidden infidels or
hidden disbelievers. So, these hidden disbelievers are required to be identified
to save our faith or imaan. It is only the akidah, by which, these hidden
infidals or munaafiq can be recognised.

Only the true akidah in Islam is the right path towards Allah and the beloved
prophet. The Imam of prayer, i.e. salaat or namaaz must follow true akidah.
The salaat will be accepted only if one is offering prayer with true akidah.

The prophet of Islam had forecasted that there would be as many as 73 firqah
or groups in Islam but only one would be on right path and that will go to
jannah or paradise. Only one group will follow the traditions and actions
followed by the companions or sahaabas of the holy prophet.

While it is very difficult to identify the right group on the basis of Kalamah,
Salaat, Fastings ( Rosa ), Zakaat and Hajj as all groups perform these basic
orders of Islam, it is only akidah by which the right group of jannah can be
recognized. The properties of true akidah are mentioned below. If following
properties are not adhered to by the imam of the prayer, one should not
perform salaat behind such imaam. Because, in hadis, it has been narrated
that ones deeds depend on ones intentions. Now if we perform salaat behind
faulty imam by saying in our intention that we are following this imam of
present prayer, then according to hadis, whatever akidah is followed by the
imam will be automatically counted as the akidah of his followers.

(1)The first kalemah, the foundation or heart of Islam is Lailah illallah


Mohammed rasulallah. Meaning is that, None but the Allah is one who must be
worshiped and Mohammed ( Pbuh ) is the messenger of Allah.

Here, very important thing to note is that Mohammed ( Pbuh ) is a messenger of


Allah. See, the present tense has been used. Past tense is not used. One cannot
say that Mohammed ( Pbuh ) was a messenger. Hence, it is crystal clear that
prophet Mohammed ( Pbuh ) is always alive.

(2)In holy book quraan, in surah Bakarah, it has been mentioned that those
who are killed in the way of Allah are not to be called as dead, but they are alive
but people do not know. The ayat is “ la takulu le mayyuktalo fi sabilillahe
amawaat bal ahayaa walakin la tashourun” Here, those who are killed for the
sake of Allah are called Shahids (martyr) and they are always alive. Now in holy
book , it is mentioned in ayat 69 of surah Al Nisa that the
nabiyyin,siddiqin,Shohadas (martyrs) and saalehin are considered to be best
friends of Allah upon whom he granted prizes (ne’amat) and at other place in
quran further stated that they(these friends) are happy with Allah and Allah is
happy with them. So, the true belief is that all friends of Allah are alive as
martyrs are belonged to this group who are alive according to quraan.
In surah Aley Imran in quran, in verse 169 it is written that “ wa laa
tahsabanna allazin qotelu fi sabilillah……” do not imagine the martyrs who are
killed in the way of Allah as dead, but they are alive and they are provided
provisions(rizk) by their lord.

(3)It is the well known thing that the sahabas or companions of the prophet
followed the prophet in the best way and the prophet was very pleased to see it.
He told that his sahabas were like stars and following them or their guidance
would lead you to the right path.
Now one can see from the various hadis books and sahabas’ history that when
they were in need, urgency or help, they used to rush to their beloved prophet
and the prophet used to remove their woes. Though, Allah is there all times.
The companions of prophet could have directly sought help from Allah rather
than to go to prophet. But this is not the case. Hence it can be argued that a
help from nabi ( rasul ) is a help from Allah. This can be generalized to all
friends of Allah called as auliya allah.
This seeking help of companions of prophet from him clearly implies that to
seek help from nabiyyin, siddiqin, salehin and shohada does not become shirq.
Following two examples are enough to understand that the sahabas were going
for help to beloved prophet. Examples of previous prophets are also given.
(a)One sahaba came to prophet and told, “ oh my sins, oh my sins.” meaning
that he had so much sins. The prophet asked him to utter couple of sentences
of forgiveness what he told three times and then prophet replied to him, “ go, all
of your sins are forgiven.” Thus one can conclude that the prophet was even
able to see the gaib ( unseen ) that his sins were forgiven. Ones sins are always
a gaib or unseen. Nobody can see the sins forgiven but of course, our prophet
was looking sins forgiven.
(b)One another sahaba was eye-blind. He came to prophet and wanted that his
eyes get the sight. The beloved prophet put his saliva to sahaba’s eyes taking on
to his finger tip and the sahaba had immediately his blindness removed. There
are so many such incidents where sahabas asked prophet to help them instead
of going direct to Allah.
(c)People sought help from Hajarat Issa (A.S.) to remove leprosy and blindness
according to Quran and Quran has not stated this thing as a shirq. As Ulemah
of Islam is like previous prophets, their help cannot be considered as a shirq.
(d)Musa (A.S.) asked dua to Allah to strengthen him with the help of his brother
Harun. This is written in holy quran. See, a prophet is requesting to Allah for
his brother Harun’s help for supporting Allah’s deen/religion. This is in surah
bakarah.
(e)Hazarat Suleiman(A.S.) sought help of his court-member, hazarat Asif
Barakhia, who brought the robust throne of queen Bilkis within twinkle of eye
lashes of hazarat Suleiman(A.S.) This is according to quran in Surah Namal/an
Ant.

The muslim believe that Allah is Khaliq- A creator, and all other thing except
him is his creation, then there is no chance of any shirq as even though one is
asking help from somebody, the original helper is almighty Allah and the party
from which the help sought is just a mediator for help of Allah. When such
intension or concept is created, there cannot be shirq. This is the reason our
holy prophet forecasted that his ummah will not be doing a sin of shirq. Yes, he
told that his ummah will be trapped in temptation of the rich.

(4) From the above when the friends of Allah are alive, their graves are
considered as the signs of Allah. When they are alive, their divine help can
reach everywhere. In surah Ambiya in verse 91, Hazarata Mayam(AS) and
Hazarat Isa (AS) have been written as symbol for alamin(creation). So, the
prophets, the siddiquin, the saalehin and the martyrs may be considered as
symbols and so as their resting places(shrines) also. To respect these shrines is
a good and noble thing.

The prophet of Islam has been admired by holy quran in surah ahjaab saying
him as Siraaj- um-muniraa. ( Meaning very brightening sun ). Now see, if the
sun of this world is seen around half of the globe at a time, and that it will last
till qayaamat- a day of judgement, what may be the position of the sun of
risaalat ( Siraj-um-muniraa ) told by Allah. Undoubtedly our beloved prophet
can be present everywhere anytime he may wish. Ayat of surah tauba in quran
“ lakad jaakum rasulum min anfosekum ………Raufurrahim” tells that prophet
has been sent towards us from mankind for mankind and who gets woes when
monenin(believers) are in trouble and he is well wishers and rahim for the
believers. The properties of Arrauof and Arrahim have been assigned to him to
help the momenin of all times and all places till qayaamat-a day of judgement.
This clearly states that the prophet is alive and is helping to the believers of all
times and at all corners of the earth.

(5)Our prophet is assigned a property of Rahamtal lil Alamin. ( Rehmat for all
Worlds ). In quran in surah ambiyaa it is stated “ wa maa arsalnaak illa
rahamatal lil aalamin” The meaning is that “and you are sent for no other cause
but rehmat-the blessings for all worlds.” It is said that there are 18000 worlds.
Now to become rehmat for all 18000 worlds can only be possible if the prophet
can see those worlds, can reach to those worlds and can help the creations of
those worlds. So, indeed, he has been given immense power by Allah to help
and guide the entire creation of the universe.
Now prophet said that the Ulema ( Ulema-e-baatin ) of his nation are like the
previous prophets. This hadis is directed towards auliya allah- the friends of
allah, who are like previous prophets before hajarat Mohammed ( Pbuh ). So,
their graves are considered as signs(symbols) of Allah. Safaa and Marwaa are
two small hills but in quraan, these hills are shown as a sign(symbol) of Allah.
This is, because, these hills have a relation with one lady friend of Allah called
Bibi Hazaraa (A.S.)who was searching water around these hills in the desert for
her son Ismail(A.S.). So building a relation with friends of Allah is always a
beneficial and blessing act. While anything related with the friend of Allah is
recognized as a symbol of Allah then definitely, the places where such friends of
Allah are resting in their graves must be considered as the symbols of Allah. To
express love towards such symbols of Allah, one can kiss such symbolic
structure of grave. Saitan had worshiped Allah for 240 million years but when
he refused to honour the prophet Adam(A.S), he was punished and made
saitan, kicking at his previous worship. So, to disregard or to dishonour any
friend of Allah by whatever way becomes a reason of great displeasure of Allah.
We can obtain a divine help by visiting such holy places of graves of auliyas, the
friends of Allah, just to please them. Due to this reason, hazarat Khwaza
Moinuddin Chishtee Sanjari(R.A.), a great saint in India, had stayed for forty
days and did his prayers at the grave of great saint hazarat Daata Ganj Bax Ali
Hijaweri(R.A.) at Lahore in Pakistan and received immense spiritual blessings
from his grave. His historic stay is commemorated by a symbolic room
constructed at the grave vicinity of Daata Ganj Bax. After receiving blessings
from his grave, Khwaza Moinuddin (R.A.) uttered praising sentences “Ganje
baxe faize aalam majahare noore khuda, Naqisaara peere kamil kamilara
rehnuma.” The meaning is- “From Ganj bax, whole of the world is getting
blessings who is the divine light of Allah and who is a perfect master for the
uneducated and who is a guide for the learned people like me.” One must follow
the true path of such great scholar and saint of Islam who made nearly nine
million muslims. Such building of relation with saints can be obtained by
reciting their love songs and their praise songs called as naats. By reading the
books of saints of Islam and their history, true faith can be sharpened. The
building of relation of Allah’s friends can be achived by going to their graves
much often. If the dog who accompanied the ‘ashaabe kahaf’ the cave-people of
friends of Allah whose historical event is mentioned in holy book,quraan, is
belonged to paradise, and the donkey of hazarat Ujjair(A.S.) and the camel of
hazarat Saleh(A.S.) are belonged to paradise only due to their relation with
friends of Allah, we will be definitely among the people of paradise if we attach
ourselves with any friend of Allah by whatever good means.
For this reason, the great tomb of our prophet is a center of pilgrimage after
hajj.
One must understand the basic thing of the holy quraan that while reading a
true events of previous nabiyyin mentioned in holy book quraan is giving us
rewards (sawaab ), and that reading of event in holy quraan can be treated as a
prayer or zikr of Allah, we can conclude that reading of history of an Islamic
saints and recitation of their names and praise songs can be considered as a
zikr of Allah. In this manner, on the contrary, to throw stones at the saitan, as
is done during hajj, is also a zikr of Allah. Hence, to angry with saitan and their
followers and to say harsh words to saitan and his followers is also a zikr of
Allah. So, we can perform zikr of Allah by three different ways(a) by reciting holy
attributed names of Allah by tongue or by heart(b) by reciting names of friends
of Allah and reading their history guidance message and (c) abusive or harsh
speaking and abusively reacting to saitan and their followers. Surah lahab in
quraan comes under this “C” category.

Above faith is a true aqidah in Islam. If your beliefs are according to the beliefs
mentioned above, you will be certainly on the right path of Islam. So, come to
this right path and be the heirs of the jannah or paradise.

(6)And the solid argument in support of prophet’s ilm-e-gaib ( knowledge of


unseen ) is that prophet could see angels or malaaeka ( farirshta ) as he could
see to jibrael and could talk to jibrael and that the prophet can see all malaaeka
who bring durud and salaam from muslim ummah to the grave of the prophet.
The common man or human being cannot see the angels whereas the prophet
can see them. There are examples in the hadis that prophet could see
malaaeka. The Malaaeka and Jinn are the creations of Allah who are gaib for
common human being. Thus one can easily conclude that prophet knows the
gaib- the unseen. A kind of ilm al gaib, known as ilm al ladunni, has been
awarded to hazarat Khidar ( A.S.) as stated in quraan, and our beloved prophet
Mohammed ( PBUH ) is a leader of him, so, confirmation of prophet’s ilm al gaib
is thus proved by the holy book. In surah taqweer in quraan, it is clearly stated
that this prophet is not a miser to show the gaib-the unseen ( wa maa howa
alal gaibe bedaneen ). So, according to holy book, the prophet has not only
acquired the knowledge of gaib-the unseen but he is generous to show it. One
of the unseen creation, the jinn can even be seen by common human if one is
possessed by the jinn or one who makes the jinn as his servant by some ilm or
knowledge. So, it is possible that with the help of knowledge and divine
strength, if common men can be able to see some gaib or unseen creations,
there is every matter to believe without doubt that the highest learned prophet
of Islam can see gaib and can control them too, for, he has been taught by the
Allah.

(7)In holy book quraan, it has been mentioned several times that Allah has put
so many signs for the clever persons to think and then questions why the
persons are not going to think. It means that we must think the nature and
glorify the Allah. Upon healthy and positive thinking for the sake of Allah, one
will definitely get the true path. Upon thinking about Iron piece inserted into
red hot oven, one will see the Iron piece becomes red hot. Before the Iron piece
was inserted into oven, it was cold, its colour was grayish black. One can hold it
by ones own naked hand. But see the effect of its contact and its relation with
the oven fire that for just few minutes of its contact with oven fire, the Iron
piece got the burning property of fire then think while our beloved prophet
remains in contact with Allah all the times, how can the properties of Allah not
be received? Certainly, the properties of Allah are received by the prophet. The
Allah has assigned the prophet so many properties. One such property is AL
Adlo ( Justful ). So, Mohammed ( Pbuh ) has also this Al Adlo property. Second
property is Al Haqq.( Truth ) so the prophet is also Al Haqq. In short, the Allah’s
properties are assigned by Allah to his beloved prophet. In this way, when Allah
is everywhere so as his prophet. Allah is al-alim so as his prophet is al-alim.
When al-alim property is assigned by Allah, then the prophet has all knowledge
including the gaib or unseen. In surah fatah in quran, the hand of the prophet
has been called as a hand of Allah at the incident of bait-e-rizwaan for this
reason. Such properties are assigned to all friends of Allah through prophet via
spiritual guide. When the believer obtains properties of Allah in a perfect way,
he is said to have reached to the state of fanaa-fi-allah. It must be noted that
acquiring attributes from Allah cannot be said as association or partenership
with Allah. Allah has delivered these attributes to his friends. So, supremacy
of Allah is not challenged at all. The friends of Allah are the sources from where
the light(noor) is emanating or revealed. It is for this reason that though Allah is
speaking quraan but the voice is coming out from the holy mouth of the
prophet.

For the above reason, there is a hadis al qudsi that Allah says that when a true
believer prays so much with zikr tremendously and continuously then a time
will come when his hands will be the hands of Allah, his eyes will be the eyes of
Allah and his tongue will be the tongue of Allah. When the believer reaches this
state, he will have properties of Allah assigned to him and he will be able to
create miracles and he will be in the group of friends of Allah called as Auliya
Allah.

It should be noted that in quran, in surah al Ahzaab in ayat number 45 it is


written that “ Ya ayyohannabi inna arsalanak shahidaun wa mubashsheraun…
…………sirajam munira” “O prophet, we have sent you as witnessing, giving
happy news, fear warning and calling towards Allah by the order of Allah and as
a shining(brightening) sun(or lamp)” Everybody knows what should be the
attributes(qualities) of a good witness. The witness must be physically present
at the place of an event for which he/she is witnessing. Further, witness must
have seen and recognized the characters of an event. So, all the doubts about
attributes of the prophets and friends of Allah are now removed. From this, one
can easily differentiate between the true akidah and bad akidah people. Some
people argue that we must be unite and should not differentiate among
muslims! But bad akidah people cannot be true muslims. Can we mix milk with
a curd(yogurt)? If the milk say that the curd is from the milk so let us unite (the
curd and the milk), then what will be the result? In stead of curd becoming
milk, the milk itself becomes curd. This is the reason our beloved prophet
warned us about various groups and told that only one group is on right path
and that will go to jannah.

(8) And finally the important thing to note is that while the companions of the
prophet best followed the prophet and they and their followers till eight
centuries never spoke single sentence against prophet which might even smell
to show our beloved prophet like a common human, the faulty or false groups
can be easily identified. Call them to show single incident of sahaba, tabein,
tabe-tabein in which they-the false people would like to consider our prophet as
without knowledge of gaib or not able to help or not able to go anywhere. In
holy book quran, there are some ayats which were used to say in front of non-
believers ( kafirs ) or in front of munafikin but those ayats(sentences) must not
be taken as a qualifications for the prophet. Those ayats are set for the
examples to show kindness, nobleness, unproudiness and non-arrogantness
( modesty ) in front of non-believers. And for this reason, the companions of the
prophet demonstrated the way how to follow the prophet. They used to praise
the prophet through out their lives after accepting Islam. This can be
understood in this way that when the school teacher of 8th class teaches to the
students of that class, he will demonstrate before them so simple but if the
same teacher will teach the class of 12th , he will demonstrate higher things. In
the same manner, our beloved prophet demonstrated his prophethood
according to the learning capacities of the persons.

(9) The easiest way of identifying the true akidah is like this. As for example if
Mr.Tariq has obtained Ph.D. degree, the highest degree of a university and there
are four persons who are describing him. One calls him as a 9th grade passed,
second says him first university degree passed, third person says him as
master’s degree holder and fourth person calls him as a doctorate or Ph.D.
degree holder. From these persons who has correctly recognized Mr. Tariq ?
Definitely, the fourth person has correctly recognized Mr. Tariq. Of course,
other three are correct but ultimate correct is the fourth person who could
recognize the ultimate degree. Exactly in the same manner, only the right path
is that true akidah in which our prophet is recognized with the highest degrees.
If other three persons deny Ph.D. degree for Mr.Tariq then they are considered
as false or wrong persons due to their not recognizing the degree. The smallest
degree of our Prophet is, according to hadis, “Allah ya’ati wa ana kasimun”
meaning “Allah is giving to me(to Prophet) and I am the distributor” The
treasures of almighty Allah are with the Prophet and those are being distributed
by the holy prophet to whom he may wish. This thing is worth noting! All other
degrees of our Prophet are greater than this. This shows the greatness of our
Prophet.

(10)In salaat (namaaz), there is “attahiyaat” ( attahiyaato wassalawato ) which is


compulsory to recite, and which contains in it the words- assalamo alayka
ayyohannabiyyo, meaning salam to you o nabi, clearly states that nabi-
the prophet is in front of you. In Arabic, the root word is alaa. Alaa means at
or upon. Alaa is made of arabic letters ain, laam, ya. If you join small kaaf
after the last letter “ya” of alaa, it will make alayka-at you(upon you or to you ).
If “ha’” is joined after “ya” the word alaa will become alayhe-upon him. Ha and
Mim if joined after ya will make alaa as alayhim (upon them), if nun and alef
are joined, alayna(upon us) will be made. If small kaaf and mim are joined,
alaykum(upon you all) in plural form will be made. From this, one can easily
conclude that prophet is present in front of you during salaat(namaaz).

(11)In holy book quran, in ayat two of surah Hujarat, “ ya ayyohallajina


aamanu la
tarfau aswaatakum……. Wa antum laa tashourun” states that “o believers, do
not keep your voice louder than the voice of nabi(Pbuh) while talking to him as
usually you talk loudly to each other while you talk to each other, lest your
good deeds should be destroyed and you even cannot know” This ayat is
alarming us that even to speak louder in front of nabi(pbuh) is treated as insult
to him and becomes a reason to destroy our good deeds. Now think of those
who speak displeasing words about our prophet by one or other way. What will
happen to those people ? Their good deeds are vanished without their
knowledge. They will know this thing at the time of day of judgement.
Normally, if someone drinks wine, a sin will be written in his or her account as
wine is prohibited in Islam but this sin will not erase his or her good deed like
salaat(namaaz), fastings etc. This clearly implies that to insult or to displease
nabi or any friend of Allah becomes so great sin that cause all previous
merits(sawaab) of good deeds destroyed. Further, in ayat number 104 in surah
bakarah, holy quran teaches us “ya ayyohallajina aamanu la takulu raaenaa wa
kulun zurranaa….azaban alim” do not say raaenaa(to his beloved prophet-
pbuh) and say anzurnaa and listen to him(prophet) and there is tremendous
woes(azaab) to disbelievers(infidels). The word raaenaa has good meaning in
arabic language but it has abusive(mean) meaning in the dictionary of jews. So,
Allah declared through quran that it will be considered as insult to his prophet
if some word is used for his prophet which has abusive meaning in any
language of the universe eventhough there is no intention to do any kind of
insult. The history of descending this ayat was that the companions of
prophet(pbuh) used to say the word raaenaa just to request the repetition of
meaning what prophet talked of during holy speeches. Though, the intention of
the companions was never to have any kind of bad meaning, the quran ordered
not to say any word which can have bad meaning in any other language or
dictionary. Thus clear indication is that Allah wants no smell of disrespect of
his beloved prophet from near or far. Any kind of disrespect to prophet or
friends of Allah will be considered as a sin of so high magnitude that it will
erase all good deeds of a person.
Only disbelief (kufr) can make the good deeds erased and this ayat relates the
sin as good as that of kufr(disbelief). So, come to true akidah and make our
prophet happy by whatever way you can. The akidah shown in this essay will
definitely make our prophet happy. These beliefs are adopted by the saints and
friends of Allah.

(12)In surah Mujadilah in ayat number 22 it is written “La tajidu qawman


yuminoona biAllahi waalyawmi alakhiri yuwaddoona man hadda Allaha warasoolahu
walaw kanoo abaahum aw abnaahum aw ikhwanahum aw AAasheeratahum olaika kataba
fee quloobihimu aleemana waayyadahum biroohin minhu wayudkhiluhum jannatin tajree
min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha radiya Allahu AAanhum waradoo AAanhu olaika
hizbu Allahi ala inna hizba Allahi humu almuflihoona
You will never see that those people who believe in Allâh and the Last Day they love those
people who have opposed Allâh and HIS Rasool (Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam),
even if they are their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their family members. These are
those people in whose hearts Allâh has imprinted Faith and has strengthened them with a spirit
(Rûh) from HIMSELF. HE will admit them into such Gardens (Paradise) underneath which
canals will be flowing. There they will live forever. Allâh is pleased with them and they are
pleased with Allâh. They are the members of Party of Allâh. Be aware! Only the members of the
Party of Allâh are going to be successful.

(13) In surah Mudassir, verse 25 it states that “This is a word of human” word
is meant here as quran and human is meant for prophet Mohammed(pbuh) by
the non believers but in the next verse Allah replies to non-believers that “Soon
I shall throw them in hell fire” Now think about this. Some so called today’s
muslims used to say our prophet as human being only. Such people must see
the reply given by Allah. Hence the strong faith muslims today call such people
as one kind of present day munaafiq. And due to this they avoid to perform
salat behind faulty akidah imam.

IMPORTANT:
In holy quraan, it is written in surah Hasr that if quraanic verses descended on
the mountains, the mountains would break up into particles like sand! Now
such heavy verses were taken by our Prophet through angel jibrael(A.S.) but
think of those verses which were taken directly from Allah by our Prophet
without any assistance from jibrael(A.S.) which are known as hadis-e-qudsi.
Hadis-e-qudsi were those talks which were spoken by Allah through the heart of
our Prophet. In narrating such hadis, our Prophet used to say that “Allah says
that…..” In such hadis, actually the talk was said by Allah and Prophet himself
was the narrater. The weight of such hadis-e-qudsi could not be taken up by
even jibrael and hence such talks of Allah had to be directly put in the heart of
the holy Prophet. The Significance of hadis-e-qudsi is so great. One such hadis
is “Allah says that he cannot be contained in the earth or skies but he can be
contained in the heart of the mo’min(believer)” This hadis explains who the
perfect believer is. For this reason, the hearts of the spiritual Islamic saints are
reckoned as qibla. For this reason, holy house of Mecca is said as house of
Allah as it is built by hazarat Ibrahim(A.S.) and hazarat Ismail(A.S.). For this
reason, Prophets hands are said as hands of Allah. Due to this reason, sajad-e
taazim is allowed for pious saints(friends of Allah) and prophets, though it is
not compulsory like previous nations’ laws(shariat). The fastings of month of
muharram,that is, fastings of aashura, 9 &10 were compulsory in previous
shariat but not compulsory in Islam but are allowed to keep if a person so wish.
In the same way sajad-e-taazim is allowed but not compulsory in Islam.
In hadis books, the incident of hazarat Akramaa has been mentioned. Hazarat
Akramaa performed sajada-e-taazim, prostration of respect at the holy feet of
Prophet Mohammed(Pbuh) at the time of accepting islam. Beloved Prophet did
not advise to hazarat Akramaa or other companions gathered near holy Prophet
not to perform such sajada. This clearly implies that such sajada is allowed.
Compulsion of such sajada is removed due to the fact that it is difficult for
common muslim person to recognize the pious person or the friend of Allah.
Only the person of wisdom and knowledge can recognize the real personalities
who may be respected by sajada-e-taazim.

On one another incident mentioned in hadis books, quoting that incident, some
scholars of islam declared sajad-e-taazim as haraam(denied work). This
happened due to mis-interpretation. One villager was arriving with his camel to
Prophet. The camel made sajada in front of our beloved Prophet. Looking to
this, the companions asked holy Prophet whether they should perform sajada
as camel had done. In reply Prophet replied “If I order you to perform sajada, I
would order the wife to perform sajada at the feet of her husband” In this
hadis, it has been clearly mentioned “I would order” means if he ordered then
there would be compulsion. So, Prophet removed compulsion of sajada-e-
taazim, but still, its allowance is remained. Taazimi sajada depends on love and
knowledge of the performer. This is the reason why such act is common in the
way of tariqat, the more advanced sufi path, the path of friends of Allah. The
great saint, hazarat saiyed Nizamuddin Auliya had explained in details about
such sajada and wrote that sajada-e-taazim was allowed in Islam.

This short essay will be definitely useful to acquire true belief and akidah. Such
akidah will lead you towards jannah. The sins are forgivable but bad akidah or
faulty akidah cannot be forgivable. If Allah wants to take any one to jannah, he
first guides to that person towards true akidah. So, one must seriously think
for the above essay.
