Forty Ahadiths on the Intercession of the Noble Prophet Peace & Blessings upon him

*Booklet - 16 pages

Compiled by: Ala'Hadrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan 'alayhir rahman.

Translated into English by Dr Abdul Naim Azizi

Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Barelwi 'alayhir rahman was one of the most important Muslims of his age, and this little book is one of his most important works. It is important because the key to the life and work of Imam Ahmad Raza Khan was the defence of the honour & superior status of our Beloved Prophet May Allah bless him and grant him peace.

Religion reformers, innovators & extremists tried to lower the status of the Noble Prophet May Allah bless him and grant him peace by attacking the idea of His Intercession (waseela). This work for that reason is vital today in the fight against these radical muslims in their many modern guises.

Intercession : In the Light of Qur'an and Sunna

Paperback - 67 pages by Ukasha al-Tayyibi - Translated by Aisha Bewley

Praise be to Allah who's help we seek and whose forgiveness we ask. On the Day of Judgement Prophet Muhammad (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) will be the only Prophet who will be granted permission to intercede to save mankind from the terrors of awaiting judgment on the Day of Rising.

One must not fail to understand that matters which are great and insignificant, large or small are preordained confirmed in the knowledge of Allah. Surely Allah Almighty has decreed and determined the states of the intercessor, and for whom he intercedes.

The author has taken an analytical approach to prove that inercession can only be granted by Allah's permission, and that Prophet Muhammad (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) will intercede for mankind at five various levels, i.e. from the crossing of the Sirat to the height of peoples rank within the garden of paradise.

Each chapter has been carefully researched and examined according the Qur'an and Hadith, and by reading this book Muslim and non-Muslims alike will have a greater and clearer understanding on the meaning of intercession and what it entails.

Intercession & The Recital of Mawlid by M.Farook Najmudeen

Paperback - 100 + xviii = 118 pages total

A small cross section of Muslims believe that every person has the ability to ask directly from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and that an intermediary is not required to intercede with Allah ta'ala on their behalf.
Using evidence from the Noble Quran and AHadith this book explains the Truth relating to who are eligible to ask Allah Almighty directly and also sets out to identify those persons that Allah Almighty himself has given permission to intercede.

Learned scholars from Al-Azhar University, Cairo have reviewed the material in this book and this institution has given its approval to the contents of this book. To quote an excerpt from their approval “….we would like to inform that the above mentioned book does not carry anything to contradict with the Islamic creed and there is no objection to publish this book”.

The inspiration for this book came when questions were put to a Fakir, who was giving discourse to a group of people.

“Why are people distracted in mind while in the midst of performing Salath?”

“Who are eligible to ask directly from Allah?”

It is the authors' intention to bring light and truth to a question that has been shrouded with confusion and misunderstanding. Insha-Allah. May we all be guided to the truth.

A Book of Fateha and Funeral Rites

Paperback - 120 pages

Fateha : A Salvation for the Dead

It is permissable and it is made clear from the Qur'an al kareem and hadith that to recite surah's, to give in charity and to do good acts for the deceased does indeed benefit them. It is in the hadith that when a person prays for another Muslim brother, that prayer is accepted. This is because there is an Angel over the head of every person and when a person prays for the betterment of another that angel says 'Aameen' and prays that he also be rewarded accordingley. It is obvious that du'a is the essence behind prayers. Therefore, it is necessary for Muslims to pray for their fellow Muslims which benefits them both, in this world and the Hereafter.

''And those who came after them (the Mujahir and the Ansar) say: ''O' Allah! Forgive us and our deceased brothers who came before us.'' - (Al Qur'an, 28 : 4)

The Most Beloved Prophet, Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, has stated : '' To offer prayers, ask forgiveness of parents, fulfil any promises that they had made, treat well those who were related through them, respect and honour their freinds are included in service to the parents after their death.'' - (Abu Daud)
