Transcript of Wake Up Muslim Ummah
[ 1 ]
Muslim Ummah today finds itself in very adverse condition, continuously being insulted, and attacked by
unbelievers from all over the world, mostly from the West. This ordeal and adversity has gained a new
momentum when the miscreants once again show their deep-rooted hatred by trying to disrespect our
beloved Prophet Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him). Muslims all over the world showed their deep
anguish and anger, they objected, they protested, they marched to the ministries, they raised the banners,
they blocked some websites, they banned some products…..but that’s what we are doing from so many years!
Is this current blasphemy not linked to the existing evil chain, namely Salman Rushdie, the Danish cartoonist,
and the US pastors who burned the Holy Quran.….? (Unfortunately this is just a continuation of the evil chain)
Why haven’t we reached a solution yet? Why is this profanity and blasphemy not ending??
Answer is that we are ‘not cleaning the wound’ but ‘cleaning the bandage’
O’ Muslim Ummah! Was not there a glorious time when Islam was spreading vastly and Muslims, where ever
they went, they flaunted beautiful Islamic teachings, laws, systems, morals, ethics and values not by words
only but by their conduct and way of life. Today we may give lengthy lectures on beautiful Islamic values and
teachings but unfortunately those are not at all reflected by our personalities, actions and life styles. We
marvel the laws and systems of Western countries but in fact all the current ideal laws, norms and human
rights of west are ISLAMIC which we have ignored and they have picked.
The Western world have just applied some of these laws in this ‘modern age’ but the fact is that these
glorious rules and principals were set forth by our beloved Prophet Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be
Upon Him) more than Fourteen hundred years ago in the ‘Dark age’ (bleak era of ignorance) and in the
best form and manner and will remain relevant forever!!!
Our beloved Prophet Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) created an exemplary society where rich and
poor, friend and foe, Muslim and non-Muslim, the Ruler and the ruled, Men and Women, Black and White,
were all treated equally and all of them could count on receiving justice.
[ 2 ]
The core of Islamic values is morality, good conduct and love and care for everyone. He (Peace Be Upon Him)
intensified the importance of good manners by declaring it as perfection of faith; “The most complete in faith
among the believers is he who has the best manners” (Good deeds, good moral Characters)
It was the good conduct and great character of Muslims that represented the true essence of Islam. Islam was
NOT spread with swords or forcefully, rather it straightaway conquered the hearts with its beautiful values,
civilized principles, and human rights. Islam is not just about verbal confirmations but it’s a complete way of
life and immensely focused on how one person deals with the other. He (Peace Be Upon Him) very
categorically defined everyone’s rights and duties, the rights of parents, the rights of children, the rights of
husbands and wives, the rights of neighbors, the rights of senior citizens, the rights of teachers and students,
the rights of pedestrians, the rights of customers, the rights of merchants, the rights of Non-Muslims, the right
of convicts and prisoners, even the rights of enemies, even the right of Birds, Animals, Plants, trees!!!
Thus, human rights in Islam are not ‘optional’ rather they are religious obligations, a MUST to safeguard,
meaning that it is obligatory for every Muslim to protect them and restore them if they are violated.
Who then defamed Islam? and
Who then portrayed that Islam is all about ‘cloth above ankles’ and ‘size of beard’ only?
These are so-called Muslims that claimed themselves as experts and specialists of Islamic laws and Jurisdiction
(Sahri’at) but in reality they are continually destroying, distorting and manipulating Islam from within, and
impeding the true Islamic essence.
These ‘black sheep’ too, are the miscreants who attacked the dignity of Islam and honor of our beloved
Prophet Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him). O’ Muslim Ummah! Why no protest against them???
The blessed and honorable name ‘MUHAMMAD’ of our beloved prophet (Peace Be Upon Him), has
been removed from the grill of Mawajah Shareef (The Blessed chamber in Masjid Al-Nabawi Shareef).
Originally engraved words ‘YA ALLAH YA MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him)’which were there for
centuries have now been cleverly mutilated to ‘YA ALLAH YA MAJEED’. Is this not an act of profanity
and blasphemy?
[ 3 ]
The mausoleum of the blessed mother of our Beloved Prophet Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon
Him); ‘Hazrat Bibi Amina Bint-e-Wahab (RA)’ (Umm ul Ummhatul momineen, Mother of
‘mothers of believers’) at Abwa Shareef was bulldozed in 1998 and now they have totally wiped out
the remains and traces of her grave so no one could pay respect and recite ‘Fatiha’ at her resting place.
Is this not an act of profanity and blasphemy?
The blessed Birthplace (House of his Mawlid) of our beloved Prophet Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be
Upon Him) is now a library ‘Maktabat Makka al-Mukarrama.’ Pilgrims who visit the holy site and offer
prayers at the honorable Birthplace to seek blessings are insulted and ridiculed with the charges of
IDOLATRY and POLYTHEISM. To discourage the pilgrims and to diminish the prominence of this sacred
place, they have recently started to articulate that ‘this is not the birthplace of Prophet (Peace Be Upon
Him) and even if it is, there is no blessings attached to it’. Such wicked writings (which every Pilgrim is
forced to read) are nothing but an attempt to lessen the light of love of our beloved Prophet Hazrat
MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him). Is this not an act of profanity and blasphemy?
They holy cemeteries of Jannat-ul-Ba’aqi and Janat-ul-Ma’ala have many of beloved relatives (Ahl-e-
Bait) and beloved companions (Sahaba-e-Karam) of our beloved Prophet Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace
Be Upon Him) but Alas! Today Muslims are dubious about recognizing their graves as the cemeteries
were completely razed to the ground in 1925, with no sign or title left on any grave. Is this not an act
of profanity and blasphemy?
Several Holy Mosques and wells from the time of our beloved Prophet Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be
Upon Him) and houses including the house of our beloved mother Hazrat Bibi Khadijah (RA) have been
demolished and no trace left now. Is this not an act of profanity and blasphemy?
The valuable Islamic manuscripts are being tampered; the fanatic Wahhabis are continually expunging
and changing sentences from the historic Islamic books that did not go with their creed. Even they are
concealing Inscriptions on the walls of Masjid Al-Nabawi Shareef; i.e. the beautiful couplets and stanzas
[ 4 ]
in praise of our beloved Prophet Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him). Such poetry is called
QASEEDA and Muslims all over the world recite it with great devotion and love. Originally the couplets
were engraved in golden letters on green backdrop but now to hide the words/text they have replaced
the golden color with green. Green text on green background which made it Impossible to read.
Is this not an act of profanity and blasphemy?
The fanatic Wahhabis have covered almost all holy sites with huge blue bill-boards that show
treacherous and devious messages to mislead pilgrims. One of such holy sites is ‘UHAD SHAREEF’
where the martyrs of battle of UHAD and the chief of martyrs the beloved uncle of our beloved
Prophet(Peace Be Upon Him); ‘Hazrat Hamza bin Abdul Mutalib (RA)’ are resting. The bill-board at the
resting site of martyrs explicitly regard them as ‘DEAD’ which is clear negation and denial of verses of
Holy Quran;
Translation: And those who have been slain in the way of Allah never think of them as dead; but
they are alive with their Lord, get their subsistence. [3:169]
Could any Muslim negate and contradict with Holy Quran this directly and blatantly? • Is this not an
act of profanity and blasphemy?O Muslim Ummah!
[ 5 ]
Wake up; it’s high time for unity! The unity of Muslim Ummah is the only way to bring back our old glory.
These so called Muslims are not only disrespecting our religion but also proliferating hatred and acrimony
through their revolting strategies. It is because of their bogus and disgusting FATAWAS (religious rulings) that
sectarian bigotry and intolerance have started taking roots. Their core focus is to change the beliefs of the rest
of the Muslims to their own way of thinking and practice. These handfuls of Wahhabi miscreants openly deny
all other school of thoughts to the extent they call them ‘Kaffirs’ (Unbelievers). The suicide attacks in Mosques,
Mausoleums, schools and Imam Bargahs are result of their hatred. They have strong control over media and
Mosques, as funding is no problem for them. That’s why they are continually propagating their philosophies
by all means and brain washing innocent Muslims.
O Muslim Ummah! Do not ignore the orders of ALLAH (TWT);
Translation: And hold fast, all together, by the rope of Allah, and be not divided among themselves.
And remember Allah's favour upon you. Remember when there was enmity among you, He joined your
hearts together then, by His grace, you became brothers together and you were upon the brink of a pit
of Fire, then He rescued you from it; Thus Allah explains to you His signs; that haply you may act
guidance. [3:103]
Translation: And be not like those who were divided (in sections) and disagreed among themselves,
after this that bright signs had come to them and for them there is mighty torment. [3:105]
Translation: Muslims are brothers, therefore make peace between the two brothers and fear Allah
that the mercy may be shown to you. [49:10]
[ 6 ]
LOVE, PEACE, TRANQUILITY, TOLERANCE, PATIENCE AND FORBEARANCE!!!
No one is asking a Sunni Brother to become ‘Shia’ and no one is asking a Shia brother to became a ‘Sunni’ but
at least agree on unifying points, get united for the sake of NAMOOS-E-RISALAT(Honor of our beloved Prophet
Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him). Our great unifying factor is ‘DAROOD-O-SALAM’ (Salutations for
our beloved Prophet) get united to recite Darood Shareef and fill the far and wide with the echo of Salutations
in the majesty of our beloved Prophet Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him). Get united against hostile
forces that are vandalizing the relics of our beloved Prophet Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him).
These Wahhabis miscreants have defamed Islam in the whole world as violent a way of life. It’s high time to
safeguard and uphold Islam. Convey the whole world that Islam means ‘PEACE’ not only for Muslims but for all
mankind;
O Muslim Ummah! Adopt the Islam completely; make your good manners and behavior an outstanding trait of
your personalities, so that it became clear to the whole world that we are followers of our beloved glorified
Prophet Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) who is MERCY for all the worlds. The current adversity
distress and pain are lessons and signs for us. These are clear indications that something is wrong. These are
warnings that we need to make a change by changing ourselves. This is also time for repentance and
Invocation!
O ALLAH! guide us to the straight path, O ALLAH, we humbly seek forgiveness for every sin, we have
committed verily You are Most Forgiving; we are in great need of Your mercy, O the Most Merciful! Let us be
true Muslims and let True Islam reign!
O ALLAH! make us faithful servants of Your beloved Prophet Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) and
Grant us with the alacrity to follow his teachings so that we may follow the path that You have favored.
O ALLAH! let good manners be a fundamental and most notable attribute of our Characters, to the extent that
it became evident that we are followers of Your beloved Prophet Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him).
He (Peace Be Upon Him), the Prophet for all the worlds, the MERCY for all the worlds, came for the Perfection
of the best of morals.
He (Peace Be Upon Him) completed what was started by the first messenger of ALLAH Hazrat Adam (AS) i.e. to
bestow human beings with the sublime morality and good manners as the path towards perfection of
humanity. O ALLAH! Let us follow this path by unity and solidarity of Muslim Ummah, by fortifying our love,
affection, tenderness and compassion. Let us forgo our differences and disputes, let us be united, and let us
share our happiness and sorrows together. O ALLAH! let us love not only each other but the whole humanity,
[ 7 ]
the whole of mankind, regardless of their countries, origins, colors, cultures, languages…..let the love takeover
the selfishness and hatred so that we may treat people gently, forgive their mistakes, deal compassionately
and empathetically not only with human beings but with all living things, Birds, Animals, plants, even with
nonliving things even with stones… O ALLAH! You alone is the Creator of everything; let us treat all Your
creations with humility, kindness and with loads of love. O ALLAH! make us love, care for, and see only the
beautiful, for all Your creation is very beautiful.
We are going astray from the right path because we are being controlled by our NAFS-E-AMARA (The
Commanding Self/lower Self that polluted soul (Rooh) and inflicts temptations). O ALLAH! Give us piety and
purify our souls. O ALLAH! Let us defeat our Nafs-e-Amara by the light of Love of Your beloved Prophet Hazrat
MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him). It is only with this light that we may differentiates between good and evil,
right and wrong, truthfulness and falsehood (Haq and Batil).
O ALLAH, great respect and reverence for all Prophets is part of our EEMAAN (religious beliefs) but the infidels
are afflicting all Muslims and all humanity by their notorious manners. These miscreants are showing their
Jealousy and blatant hatred towards Your religion and (it’s very difficult to write) towards Your Beloved
Prophet Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him).
O ALLAH Indeed such impudent transgressors have earned your wrath, for You may excuse all of our faults and
sins but the slightest disrespect in the majesty of Your beloved Prophet Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon
Him) is totally unforgivable and lead to very pain full Punishment and torment. O ALLAH! You even dislike the
usage of the words with dual meanings for Your Beloved! As You have ordered in Verse # 104 of Surah Al-
Baqara;
O Men of faith do not say ‘RAINA’, but say humbly,
respected Sir. "Look upon us" ('UNZURNA')
and from very beginning listen carefully,
and for the disbelievers is a grievous torment. [Verse 2:104]
[Occasion of Revelation: Ibn Abbas, the leading commentator, is narrated to have said that the early
Muslims, when the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) was speaking and teaching them the divine verses and
commandments, often asked him to speak slowly so that they could comprehend the material well and
could have opportunity enough to ask their questions. For this purpose, then, they applied the phrase
‘ra'ina’ derived from the root ‘ar-ra'a' to give respite ', which means: 'give us respite, wait for us'. But the
[ 8 ]
Jews took the same word from the Arabic root ‘ar-ra'unah’ used with the meaning of 'foolhardiness,
thoughtlessness, foolishness', which means: 'make foolish of us' and suggests an insult. Here, the Jews
had found something by which they could ridicule and make fun of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him)
and the Muslims.
(1) Aa-Durr-ul-Manthur, vol. 1, pp. 252-253
(2) Jami'-ul-Bayan, by Muhammad-ibn-Jarir Tabari, vol. 1, pp. 469-473]
The above verse was revealed to prevent this derisive usage of the word by the Jews. It commanded the
believers to use ‘unzurna’ instead of ‘ra'ina’ which had the same meaning, but was plain and unambiguous.
Thus, the enemies could not misuse it. Even ALLAH (TWT) has ordered “Wasma’oo” i.e. ‘from very beginning
listen very carefully’ so that My beloved Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) don’t have to repeat it for you.
SubhanALLAH!!
O ALLAH, our sins are like the highest mountains, our good deeds are very few, We turn only to You, our
hearts full of shame, our eyes full of tears, Bestow Your mercy upon us for the sake Your Beloved Prophet
Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) and his blessed progeny. O ALLAH, the Most Merciful! We are
helpless and feeble; our hearts are full of grief and pain for today we are surrounded by evil forces that are
trying to disrespect the glory of Your beloved Prophet Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him). Some of
them may be atheist, Jews, Christians, hypocrites (Munafiqeen) even Muslims……
O ALLAH! By your Mercy, give us knowledge, patience and make our speech eloquent, so that we may invite
them towards truthfulness and HAQ not only by our words but primarily by our morals and characters. O
ALLAH! Guide us to the best of deeds and the best of morals and make our hearts free from all types of
hatred, malice, jealousy, pride, anger, envy, miserliness, vanity, greed, and all the other diseases of the hearts
and replace it with love, purity, modesty, contentment, sincerity, compassion, gratitude and steadfastness.
So that the unbelievers may see the goodness and integrity of our religion reflected by our conduct and by our
personalities, So that they would discern that we pattern our behaviors and characters after the example of
Your Beloved Prophet Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him); the most exalted standard of character and
morals.
O ALLAH! You have not confined the blessed remembrance of Your beloved;
“And We have exalted for you your remembrance” [94:4]
[ 9 ]
O ALLAH! We believe that no one can lessen the glory of our beloved Master Hazrat MUHAMMAD (Peace Be
Upon Him) because nobody can even be familiar with the elevations to which there is no limit! How this
illumining prominence could be diminished when one can’t event withstand the slightest gleam of it?
O ALLAH! Unite our Religious scholars, political leaders, rulers and Head of states so that they may work
together with other countries towards a mechanism that ensures respect and reverence for all
Prophets(Peace be upon them) and for all religions.
