Thanks for the response. Earlier you complained to me that there are not enough shaykhs of Tasawwuf ( Pir ) in many places. Well, amazingly in Bangladesh you can meet many good shaykhs. One such shaykh's biography is mentioned below.

Herar Kafela

Mashaykh-e-Bangladesh -1

Publisher : Pirji Hujur (RAH ) Prokashoni
Hosaynia Ashraful Ulum Madrasah
Boro Katara , Dhaka
------------------------------

The book includes the biography of a famous TJ activist named Mawlana Ali Akbar ( RAH ) who was a top-level senior ( Murubbi ) in Kakarail Markaj. He got khilafat from Hazrat Mawlana Delwar Hussain ( RAH ) who was a khalifa of Shaykhul Islam Hazrat Husayn Ahmad Madani ( RAH ).

Sadly, not many TJ guys know that he was a Pir plus a TJ activist.

akhi you mentioned 1 sheikh, i can give you 10 sheikh name. I asked you to mention reliable sheikh for 64 districts. 5 million TJ cant come to boro katara to get bayat to him. Mufti abu bakr of greece was also student of boro katara and he knows the sheikh very well.

Sadly, not many TJ guys know that he was a Pir plus a TJ activist.

If the sheikh(rh) being involve in TJ didnt encourage TJ people to get bayat to any peers, what can poor TJ laymen do! Wasnt the sheikh(rh) duty to encourage people to get bayat to any tasawwuf sheikh, or did he had opinion that TJ usool is enough and thats why he himself was active in TJ works but didnt bother to invite TJ laymen to get bayat to tasawwuf sheikh? just asking!

The answer to your question is well-written in the book as mentioned in the following thread.

Does anyone here read the book "The importance of Zikir and Eteqaf " written by Hazrat Mawlana Sufi Iqbal Madani ( RAH) ?

The author was guided by Hazrat Mawlana Zakaria ( RAH) , the author of Fajael-e-Amal. The book discussed some subtle issues related to Tabligi Jamat. Does anyone here read the book in Urdu or English ?


Are you referring to Da'wat wa Tabligh mein Dhikr ki Ehmiyyat which was compiled by Hadrat Sufi Muhammad Iqbal and contains, in addition to other things, the sayings and/or letters of Mujaddid al-Tabligh Hadrat Mawlana Muhammad Ilyas and Shaykh al-Hadith Mawlana Muhammad Zakariyya on a few specific issues relating to Tabligh?

Alas !! When the TJ guys will wake up !! When they will learn the fact that

the purpose of TJ is to reach and encourage the common Muslims to return to the radiant way of Islamic life--through six points. And then these TJ quys will feel the urge to learn the rest of Islam from the scholars of Fiqah and the shaykhs of Tasawwuf.

Its not wise to tell the importance of bayah to a Muslim guy who even does not have the basic knowledge of Islam. Buts its OK and important to tell an old TJ guy the importance of Tasawwuf explicitly so that he does not belittle the great and amazing science of spiritual purification-- attaining the Ihsan.

Assalam o alaykum,

1. It is stated in Fatawa Aalamgiri, "It is not permissible to prepare food for three days (in the home of the bereaved). Similar is reported in Tatarkhaniya." [1:167]

....

So then it is not a bidah?

And is this opinion reported in other reliable Hanafi works?

Assalam o alaykum,

Why is it not bidah?

Hafidh ibn Humam (may Allah have mercy on him) writes, "It is makruh for the bereaved to entertain, because this has been prescribed for times of grief and not happiness. This is an evil bid'ah." [Fath al-Qadir, 1:473]

This issue is discussed in great detail in Al-Minhaj al-Wadih, p.245 and on. Many quotes are provided from Ahnaf as well as the 'ulama of other madhabs.

I am sorry. I misunderstood what was meant. What I thought was not by their not being allowed to cook for three days meant to cook period, not that just the cooking associated with entertaining of guests was what was being referred to.

My apologies once more.

Akhi you didnt answer my question. I asked about the sheikh and not about others. If the sheikh was active with TJ why didnt he tell TJ guys to get bayat?

this is really a surprising new learning for me. before i thought its a just custom of sub-continent to not to make food for three days in deceased's home

khair. jazak'Allah for the knowledge

Salaam Brothers,

Jazakumullah for the clarification. Just a few more questions:

1) When your feet accidentally touch someone's body, many people touch the ''victim'' with their hands and kiss their fingers. Has this got any basis?

2) Also, whenever you meet an elder (e.g. your grandmother), you are expected to crouch (or squat) down, touch their feet and kiss your fingers (this is done 3 times). Again, has this got any basis? [[I actually have doubts regarding even it's permissibility (not the kissing as Imam Muslim Ra wanted to kiss Imam Bukhari's Ra feet) but about the crouching down in front of somone]]

Wassalam
