Summary of Hazrat Mawlana Saad Kandhalwi’s (DB) Bayaan for Senior Workers at Markaz Nizamuddin (11-03-2014) ● This effort [of tabligh] will not progress through acting by experience, but rather by adopting the ways of the Sahaba (RD) ● Those involved in tabligh have begun to view studying the lives of the Sahaba (RD) to be of less importance and have popularized speeches, mashwara, and programmes in its place ● Hazratji Mawlana Ilyas (ra) would say that a speech or discussion that does not instill an awareness of Allah is nothing but pleasure for the ears ● Hazrat Mawlana Yusuf arranged Muntakhab Ahadith so that workers would not be free to explain the 6 principles according to their own whims and so that there would be no misinformation in their explanation ● Ignorance is that a person narrates whatever he hears or has been told. Such a person has been labeled a liar in the hadith. These days, it’s become common for people to say, “We have heard…” When asked for a reference, though, they are unable to give one and even struggle to tell you whom they heard it from ● Hazrat Mawlana Yusuf would say that when a da’ee takes the work of da’wah lightly, he will be affected by tribulations with no solution. An example of such a tribulation would be that he will leave the work of da’wah ● The purpose of gasht is to bring the ummah to fara’id, because it is only through the practice of fara’id that one can be saved from apostasy ● The da’ee should make it necessary upon himself to pray tahajjud. I tell you no help [from Allah] comes without tahajjud ● If a person is not inclined towards the worship of Allah, he risks falling into istidraj. Istidraj is when a person goes astray, but continues to belive that he is on the right path ● The reason for disagreement among saathis is a lack of connection with Allah and a decrease in the degree of dhikr, worship, and tahajjud ● Hazratji would say that Islam will be ruined by the Muslims and da’wah will be ruined by the da’ees. ● Before and after work, we should engage in ta’lim daily so that we develop a realization that is not our profession that sustains us but rather Allah that sustains us ● The purpose of ta’lim is not to bring about eagerness for good deeds, but rather to create confidence in Allah’s promises. [It is important to understand this] otherwise one may begin to feel that there is no need to attend ta’lim once this eagerness is developed ● The reason for ignorance amongst da’ees today is a lack of association with ‘ulama. Understand that [attending] the gatherings of the ‘ulama is a form of worship and consider it necessary upon yourself ● All of the different branches of deen are branches of nubuwwah; da’wah should not conflict with imamah, teaching, or any other branch ● Da’wah is here particularly to create a thirst for knowledge and not to prepare a group of people that do no other work except da’wah ● Da’wah is to advance the ummah with ilm and dhikr such that ignorance is eliminated ● An important objective of da’wah is that there be an increase in those seeking knowledge through the help of da’ees ● I believe it to be a matter of joy that there be an increase in those sitting in circles of knowledge and tafsir and learning necessary masa’il ● Our speeches and discussions should be free of any statement that would conflict with another field of deen. All fields are part of deen ● Most of the ahadith in Muntakhab Ahadith are under the topic of ‘Respect’. Hazrat Mawlana Yusuf’s aim was to give those involved in tabligh a proper understanding of the rights of Muslims ● Just as Allah has no need for us, the work of deen has no need for us ● Our purpose is to attain the acceptance of Allah. What need do we have for the support of His creation? ● Hazratji Mawlana Yusuf would say that even if the du’as, worship, and efforts of those involved in da’wah & tabligh were to reach the throne of Allah, His help would not descend until and unless they unite
