HADEES E NABVI SAW ABOUT NAJDI / WAHABI MEQAAT DIRECTION Hadith – 1 Imam Bukhari (RU) has quoted this Hadith from Abdullah Ibn Umar (RU) that Prophet (SAWS) once prayed for Syria and Yemen. It is narrated that there were some people of Najd also present in the gathering and they requested the Prophet (SAWS) to make supplication (dua) for Najd also. Prophet (SAWS) continued saying: ‘O! Allah, Shower Blessings on Syria and Yemen’. The people of Najd again requested the Prophet (SAWS) to offer prayers for Najd. The Prophet (SAWS) said: ‘It is a place of tremor and mischief (Fitna) and the Horn of Shaitaan will rise from there.’ (Bukhari, Vol - ii, P - 1050). The above Hadith clearly specifies following conclusive points. It is abundantly clear that the place called Najd is not blessed from Islamic point of view as Prophet Mohammad (SAWS) called it a place of Fitna and Evil. This place is deprived of the prayers of Prophet Mohammad (SAWS). Hoping of any Islamic good coming out of this place is against the Will of Allah (SWT). In these circumstances, the Wahhabi/Salafi revivalist movement coming out of this place cannot be good or virtuous. As per Prophet’s (SAWS) prophecy this movement is tribulation and fitna in Islam. We pray Allah (SWT) to safeguard us from this Fitna. The Arabic word used in the above Hadith is ‘Qarnush Shaitaan’, which normally means the horn of Shaitaan. In Misbahul Lughaat (page 663) the meaning of this word is written as ‘One who follows the advice of Shaitaan. Therefore, as per the Hadith, the Islamic revivalist Wahhabi movement is indeed following the advice of Satan. For the past 100 years, this tribulation (Fitna) has gradually swept the entire world. Millions of innocent Muslims have become victims of this movement. Salafis and their like minded deviant sects have mislead millions of innocent Muslims with the slogans of Shirk, Kufr, Biddah, etc. When we look at the geographical position of Najd, it lies to the East of Madinah. In other Ahadith, it is mentioned that Prophet Mohammad (SAWS) pointed his hand towards the East and said, ‘there, that is the direction from where Fitna will emerge. Hadith -2 This Hadith is mentioned in Sahih Muslim. Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (RU) narrates that ‘ Prophet (SAWS) once emerged from the room of Ummul Momineen Hazrata Ayesha Siddiqa (RA) and pointing towards East (Najd) exclaimed, This is the center of Kufr from where the horn of Shaitaan will rise. (Sahih Muslim Vol- ii, PP- 1394). Hadith-3 ABOUT THE DIRECTION OF MEEQAT Narrated Ibn Abbas: Allahs Apostle (p.b.u.h) made Dhul-Huiaifa as the miqat for the people of Medina; Al-Juhfa for the people of Sham; Qarn-al-Manazil for the people of Najd; and Yalamlam for the people of Yemen; and these Mawaqit are for the people at those very places, and besides them for those who come thorough those places with the intention of performing Hajj and Umra; and whoever is living within these boundaries can assume lhram from the place he starts, and the people of Mecca can assume Ihram from Mecca. BUKHARI (Book #26, Hadith #599) There are five places some distance from the Holy City of Makkah which pilgrims must not cross before they are in a state of Ihram if they intend to enter al Masjid al Haram for Umrah or Hajj. These points or stations are called Miqats. For map, see Location of Miqats Dhul-Hulayfah: This miqat is about 9 kilometers from Madinah and about 450 kilometers from Makkah. Dhul-Hulayfah is the miqat for those who live in Madinah and for those who approach Makkah from that direction. Juhfah: This miqat is about 190 kilometers to the northwest of Makkah. This is the miqat for the people who come from the direction of Syria. Qarn al-Manazil: This miqat is a hilly place about 90 kilometers to the east of Makkah. This is the miqat for the people of Nejd or for those coming from that direction. Dhat Irq: This miqat is about 85 kilometers towards the northeast side of Makkah. This is the miqat for the people of Iran, Iraq and for those coming from that direction. Yalamlam: This miqat is a hilly area about 50 kilometers to the southeast of Makkah. This is the miqat for the people of Yemen and others coming from that direction. It is the miqat for many of the pilgrims from China, Japan, India, Pakistan who come by ship. The area outside the Haram, the holy land on which the City of Makkah stands, is called al-Hill. Muslims who enter the Haram area on business or for other purposes need not do the ihram before entering the Holy City of Makkah unless they have the intention to perform Umrah or Hajj. Muslims coming to Makkah with the intention of performing Umrah or Hajj must not cross a Miqat without first entering into the state of Ihram, unless they live within the area between Miqat and the Haram. In this case they do Ihram either at home or just before entering the Haram area.
