Cave Saur/Thaur/Thawr

Believers love all the things and place that has any relation with Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ. All these places are sacred; a loving Mumin would like to sacrifice his life and wealth to visit these places. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ migrated to Madeenah because inhabitants of Makkah became his enemy after pronouncement of prophet hood. Chiefs of the tribes met in the Dar-u-Nadwah and decided to slay Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. All the tribes provided the swordsmen and these swordsmen besieged the house of Prophet with naked swords in their hands with their bad intention; in the house, Prophet of Allaah ﷺ and Hazrat Alee [Radiyal Laah Anhu] were present. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ had the deposits / trusts (Amaanat) of people of Makkah which he handed over to Hazrat Alee [Radiyal Laahu Anhu]and asked him to sleep on the bed, hand over the deposits to their respective owners and then come to Madeenah as Prophet was leaving for Madeenah.

 Just imagine swordsmen are standing out with naked swords in their hands; Hazrat Ale [Radiyal Laahu Anhu] is being asked to sleep on Prophet’s [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam’s] bed, the belief of Hazrat Alee was so strong and he knew that Prophet is asking him to sleep so there was no need to be afraid. Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ left the house reciting the Soorah Yaaseen, reached the house of Hazrat Abu Bakr [Radiyal Laahu Anhu] they have to go to the Madeenah because it was ordered by Allaah [Ta’aalaa], Prophet Muhammad ﷺ changed the way and climbed up the highest peak of the Makkah, Turks and others have made a stairway for climbing that cliff but imagine at that time, it has a cave upon its peak. This cliff is known as Saur/Thaur, Saur was the son of Abdul Mannaf due to which it is known as mountain of Saur. Hazrat Abu Bakr [Radiyal Laahu Anhu] had swept the cave and closed all the holes in it, one hole was left open, Hazrat Abu Bakr [Radiyal Laahu Anhu] placed his heel over that hole, and offered Prophet to place head in his lap and take rest. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq had climbed up the mountain by carrying Prophet [Peace be upon Him] over his back. Prophet accepted his offer because Prophet knew that what reward Hazrat Abu Bakr [Radiyal Laahu Anhu] would get from Allaah Kareem] for his services

Hazrat Saiyyidinaa Abu Bakr Siddeeq [Radiyal Laahu 'Anhu] :The cave of Saur

This cave is located in the mountain of Saur nearly three miles away from the Holy city of Makkah at the height of about 1 to 1-1/2 miles. Now there are steps to climb the mountain. The Holy Prophet [Peace be Upon Him] had stayed in this cave for three days and nights when he set off on migration from Holy city of Makaah to the sacred Madeenah Shareef.

22nd Jamaadi ul Ukhraa : Hazrat Saiyyidinaa Abu Bakr Siddeeq [Radiyal Laahu 'Anhu]

Hazrat Saiyyidinaa Abu Bakr Siddeeq [Radiyal Laahu 'Anhu] was one of the first few people to accept Islaam at the invitation of the Holy Prophet Muhammad [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] He was a very kind-hearted, generous and noble person. His character was such that the people of the town of Makah all respected him and appreciated his good nature. It was due to this good nature that led  Hazrat Abu Bakr [Radiyal Laahu Anhu]—by the mercy and blessing of  Almighty Allaah, —to become one of the first believers of the message of our beloved Prophet Muhammad [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] and to spend the rest of his life in service to Islaam.

Hazrat Saiyyidinaa Abu Bakr Siddeeq [Radiyal Laahu 'Anhu helped Islaam in its early days by preaching the message to his friends and associates, as a result, many people embraced Islaam on his invitation. He also helped the progression of Islaam by purchasing and freeing many Muslim slaves that were tortured by their Non-Muslim masters for believing in Islaam. He served his religion by accompanying the Holy Prophet Muhammad [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] He on the dangerous journey of hijrah (migration) to Madeenah.....

Hazrat Saiyyidinaa Abu Bakr Siddeeq [Radiyal Laahu 'Anhu]

When they were in the cave, when he was saying to his companion "Do not grieve; indeed [Almighty] Allaah is with us"; then Allaah [Ta'aalaa] caused His calm to descend upon him and helped him with armies you did not see, and disgraced the word of the disbelievers; and  [Almighty]Allaah’s Word is supreme; and Allaah is the Almighty, the Wise-Soorah Taubaah-Verse-40

إِلَّا تَنْصُرُوهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللَّهُ إِذْ أَخْرَجَهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا ثَانِيَ اثْنَيْنِ إِذْ هُمَا فِي الْغَارِ إِذْ يَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِهِ لَا تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَنَا ۖ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَيَّدَهُ بِجُنُودٍ لَمْ تَرَوْهَا وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا السُّفْلَىٰ ۗ وَكَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَا ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ‎

HADEES SURAH BAQARA

The Virtues of Soorah Al-Baqaraah
In Musnad Ahmad, Saheeh Muslim, At-Tirmeezi and An-Nasa'i, it is recorded that Hazrat Abu Hurairaah [Radiyal Laahu Anhu] said that the

Prophet Muhammad [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] said,

«لَا تَجْعَلُوا بُيُوتَكُمْ قُبُورًا فَإِنَّ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي تُقْرَأُ فِيهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ لَا يَدْخُلُهُ الشَّيْطَان»

(Do not turn your houses into graves. Verily, Shaietaan does not enter the house where Soorah Al-Baqaraah is recited.)

ZIKR E JAMEEL

ZIKR E JAMEEL Excerpts Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Shafee Okarvi [Rahmatul Laah Alaieh]

The continuity of life of Prophet ﷺ is proved from this narrated Ahadees;

1) One whoever saw me (Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ) he actually saw me as I was alive;

2) Whoever performed Hajj but did not visit me has committed infidelity with me;

3) the Ahadees that prove that prophets offer prayers in their graves; 4) the Hadees in which it is mentioned that Hazrat Moosaa علیہ السلام was offering prayer in his grave;

5) the prophets offered prayer in the Imaamat of Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ and meetings with them on different skies.

As long as the Qur’aan is concerned the verse No 64 of Soorah Al-Nisaa, “We did not send any Prophets [Alaiehis Salaam]but to be obeyed by the leave of Allaah.

Had they, after having wronged themselves, come to you and sought forgiveness from Allaah, and had the Messenger prayed for their forgiveness, they would certainly have found Allaah Most-Relenting, Very-Merciful”. There is no differentiation that followers of the Prophet ﷺ during his life or afterwards because Prophet ﷺ is mercy for all the followers whether during his life or after his life who come to him and ask him to seek mercy for them from Allaah ﷻ.

By the grace of Allaah ﷻ we have presented a short but comprehensive discussion over the life of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ that would be sufficient for the followers and Muslims while volumes of books are insufficient for the non-believers

Life is only for devotion.

Life without devotion (worship or total submission) is disgrace.

Remembrance of him is the foundation of faith.

The beggars are like kings due to his [Allaah Kareem] Remembrances.

Hazrat Prophet Muhammad [Peace be upon him] was purified of worldly things,

So he got this reward:

God [Allaah Ta’aalaa] said to him, whatever direction you face your prayer,

My face is to that direction.

His soul like an eagle of Heaven as God called him Mercy for all the creations of God.

There is no greater or better of all the Prophets than Muhammad [Peace be upon Him]

If you could get rid of yourself just once, the secret of secrets would open to you. The face of the unknown, hidden beyond the universe would appear on the mirror of your perception.
