THE NIGHT OF DELIVERANCE (Shab-e-Baraa'at)
Um mul Mu’mineen Hazrat Aa‘ishah Siddeeqah
[Radiyal Allaahu Ta’aalaa ‘Anhaa]
has narrated that…
The Prophetصلى الله عليه وسلم stood up in prayer during part of the night and made his prostration so lengthy that I thought his soul had been taken back. When I saw this I got up and went to move his big toe, whereupon he moved, so I drew back. When he raised his head from prostration and finished praying, he
صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “O A’ishaa! Did you think that the Prophet had broken his agreement with you?” She replied: “No, by Allaah, O Messenger of Allaah, but I thought that your soul had been taken back because you stayed in prostration for so long.” He said: “Do you know what night this is?” She said: “Allaah and His Prophet know best.”
He said:
“This is the night of Mid-Sha`baan! Verily Allaah the Glorious and Majestic look at His servants on “the night of mid-Sha`ban, and He forgives those who ask forgiveness, and He bestows mercy on those who ask mercy, and He gives a delay to the people of envy and spite in their state.”....excerpt from Speech Allamah Kaukab Noorani Okarvi
THE NIGHT OF DELIVERANCE (Shab-e-Baraa'at)
One should end discords and mend relations before sunset of 14th Sha’baan. Fulfil the rights of others; else get waiver so at the book of deeds is presented in His court devoid of rights of others. Regarding the rights of Allaah Kareem , mere sincere repentance is sufficient. It is mentioned in a Hadees:
التائب من الذنب كمن لا ذنب له
Whoever repents of his sin, is as if he has not committed the sin at all.
التائب من الذنب كمن لا ذنب له
Whoever repents of his sin, is as if he has not committed the sin at all.
THE NIGHT OF DELIVERANCE (Shab-e-Baraa'at)
The fifteenth night of the month of Sha’baan, commencing with sunset, is a highly auspicious night. It is known as Shab-e-Baraa’at – tha Night of Deliverance from sins.
Authentic Traditions reveal that the account of a person’s activities of the last year is closed this evening and simultaneously fresh account is opened for the New Year. In this night Allaah Kareem passes of His Knowledge of every individual’s activities in the year ahead to the angels concerned.
It is revealed to us in Traditions that in this night Allaah [Ta’aalaa] proclaims: Is there any seeker of deliverance from sins? Then I forgive him his sins. Is there any seeker of happiness? Then I make him happy. Is there any seeker of provisions? Then I provide him with provisions. Is there any seeker? Is there any seeker?
The giver is bent upon giving In this night. Where is the taker? If the taker is sleeping, he is the loser.
Therefore, Almighty Allaah’s Beloved Prophet (Blessing of Allaah Kareem and Peace be on him), the Mercy for the universe, has advised is to keep awake the whole night and occupy ourselves in the recitation of the Holy Qur’aan, voluntary namaaz (Nafl), visiting the graveyard and putting forth supplications before the Almighty Allaah for the fulfillment of our material as well as spiritual desires.
Shab-e-Baraat The night of Deliverance of Salvation
It is set out in Traditions that three hundred gates of Allah’s Mercy are opened this night and all supplicants are granted their prayers except the polytheist, the sorcerer, the astrologer, the miser, the drinker of wine, malicious, the usurer and the adulterer. Therefore let everyone repent sincerely for his past misdeeds and wrong beliefs, make a vow to Allah that he shall never indulge in these and other vices and then stick to his vow in order fo derive the utmost benefit of the Divine Gifts showered in this night.

Parents in Islam Jihad
The Holy Prophet Muhammad [Peace be upon Him] has observed: “Let that man be disgraced, and disgraced again and let him be disgraced even more.” The Sahaabah’s inquired: “O Prophet of Rasoolul Laah [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam]!! Who is that man?” The Prophet said:
“I refer to the man who finds his parents old in age – both of them or one of them – and yet did not earn entitlement to Paradise by rendering good service to them.”
[Muslim Shareef]
Hazrat ‘Abdul laah ibn ‘Amr [Radiyal Laahu Anhu] relates that a person came to the presence of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah Kareem he upon him) with the intention of participating in the Jihaad. The Holy Prophet enquired from him : “Are your father and mother alive?” He said “Yes, they are alive”. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Go and render good service to them. This is the Jihaad”.
[Saheeeh al-Bukhaari, Muslim]
Love your Parents Hadees Shareef
Love your parents
Love your parents and consider this act as a privilege and a source of reward in the eternal world. Hazrat Ibn ‘Abbas [Radiyal Laahu Anhu] relates that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) have said :
“The pious offspring who casts a single look of affection at his parents receives a reward from God [Allaah Kareem] equal to the reward of an accepted Hajj.” The people submitted: “O Rasoolul Laah : If someone casts a hundred such glances of love and affection at his parents, what then?”
The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah Kareem be upon him) observed;
“Yes, indeed, even if one does so a hundred times a day, he will get a hundred fold reward. Allaah Kareem Mercy is far greater than you imagine...[Muslim Shareef]

Offer prayers begging grace for your parents
Offer prayers begging grace for your parents, Bring to mind their fervent appeals to the Lord [Allaah Kareem] and beg His mercy for them with a zealous and sincere heart. God ordains:
“And say: My Lord! Have mercy on them both
as they did care for me when I was little.”
In other words, say: “O Creator, with mercy, devotion, affection and love, my Lord, they reared me in childhood and sacrificed their own pleasure and ease for my sake but, they, in their infirmity and helplessness of old age, are more deserving of kindness, and love than I ever was. Allaah Kareem! I can pay them no recompense. Do patronize them and show them mercy in their miserable state”.

Mothers in Islam
Preserving the affection and respect of Parents is much emphasize in Islaam, and repaying this compassion with kindness is an obligation that is directly partnered with Tauheed:
{“…and your Lord ordained that you worship only Him, and that you treat your parents with excellence…”} [Al-Israa’; 23]
And disobedience to them is directly partnered with kufr.

Verses from Qaseedah e Mai'raaj by Hazrat A'alaa Hazrat [Rahmatul Laahi Alaieh]
The light emitted by his face was distributed among the beggars with generosity.
The moon and the sun begged most eagerly for this bright charity.
The same luminous water still shining in their bright path,
Which the stars had gathered in their cups from his overflowing bath.

URS SHAREEF MUBAARAK Hazrat Maulana Shafee Okarvi [Rahmatul Laahi Alaieh]
Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Shafee Okarvi [Rahmatul Laahi Alaieh] speech excerpts
Allaah Kareem has said the hypocrites are not believers because they had no love for the Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam]
Ieemaan is love for the Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] Let me conclude! He who loves the Holy Prophet will love the children, companions, wives, Shariaah, sunnah, city, grave of the Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] and everything that has a connection with him.
To love that which is connected to the Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] is to love him. If we do love the Holy Prophet then we must follow in his footsteps. There are those that follow his methodology but have no love for him. Those that imitate (itteba) him with love become Auliyaa-Allaah.
We must enhance our love for the Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam], true belief (Aqeedah) with actions (Amaal) and we will become Allaah Kareem’s beloveds.
Ieemaan is love for the Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] will a true lover of Ieemaan brand salutations (Durood-o-Salaam) and Niyaaz on his name as a waste of time?

Somebody has printed and expressed this blasphemous statement in a Cape Town newspaper. A lover will never brand going to Madeenah with the intention of visiting the Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] at his grave as impermissible. A lover will proclaim that even if we proceed to that sacred ground using our eyes as feet we will not be able to fulfill our duty.
A lover will always speak about his beloved. A lover will never brand as shirk the touching of the sacred enclosure (jaali) around the sacred grave. A lover will use the sand of Madeenah as colyrium (surmaah) for his eyes.
All the opposition branding of acts of love as shirk is proof of their hearts being devoid of love. We kiss our thumbs,following the act of love for the Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] as done initially by Hazrat Aadam [Alaiehis Salaam]and re instituted by Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq [Radiyal Laahu Anhu], the act that the Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] said guarantees his intercession.
They. Who oppose us; brand this act of love as bidaah. They run out of our Meelaad celebrations when we rise to send salutations, bur reappear when it is time to eat. They are shameless. Allaah Kareem save true Muslims from them! Save yourselves from being influenced by their deviant beliefs by keeping yourselves firm on the path of the Salaaf Saaliheen. If we believe them then we are accepting that all our forefathers were bidaati and Mushrik. Did not your forefathers celebrate Meelaad; Giyaarween Shareef; go to Mazaars etc. Yes they did! So this is the path of Ahle Sunnat Wa Jamaa’at and the true path. Strive to keep the Aqaaid of Ahle Sunnat Wa Jamaa’at alive.
