Book Name:Farooq e Azam ka Ishq e Rasool
كُنۡتُ مَعَ رَسُوۡلِ اللّٰهِ صَلَّي اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰي عَلَيۡهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكُنۡتُ عَبۡدَهٗ وَخَادِمَهُ
I have been in the blessed company of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, therefore, I was his slave and servant. (Al-Mustadrak lil-Haakim, pp. 332)
میں تو کہا ہی چاہوں کہ بندہ ہوں شاہ کا
پر لُطف جب ہے کہہ دیں اگر وہ جناب ہُوں
Interpretation of couplet: I say that I am the slave and servant of my Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! It will be of great pleasure if you say: Yes you are my bondsman.
Dear Islamic brothers! Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam’s claim of having deep devotion towards the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was not bound to just his lip service rather he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ was truly a loyal and staunch follower of the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ acted upon the Sunnah throughout his life. But alas! We claim to be loyal to the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, that:
جان بھی میں تو دے دوں خُدا کی قسم!
کوئی مانگے اگر مُصطفٰے کے لئے
But our character and deeds do not reflect this. Remember! To love the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم does not mean holding congregations, making Zikr, reciting Na’at loudly or chanting slogans whilst raising our hands, remaining awake all the night long then sleeping without offering Salat-ul-Fajr, missing the five times Salahs even the Jumu’ah Salah, shaving off the beard or keeping it to less than the length of a fist, adopting new fashions & style whilst abandoning the Sunnah way of living, showing ill-manners and other evils instead of treating others with courtesy; how could these actions lead to sincere and perfect love? On the other hand true love demands that we should acknowledge the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to be the most
