Hazrat Abu Hurairah (Radiallahu Taala Anh) has narrated: The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu AlaihiWasallam) once asked Hazrat Jibraeel (Alaihis Salaam): How old are you? Hazrat Jibraeel (AlaihisSalaam) replied, I dont have much recollection about the exact age. However, I do remember seeing a star in the fourth Hijab (veil) of Honour. That star would appear once every seventy thousand years, and I have seen the star seventy two thousand times. Upon hearing this, the Holy Prophet MIAREHMAN Page 1 of 28
Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari (Radiallahu Taala Anh) reports: I asked, Ya Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) may my father and mother be sacrificed upon thee! Tell me, what was that which the Almighty Allah created before anything else? The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied: O Jabir, verily Allah first created my Noor (Light) from His Noor before He created anything else. This Noor stayed in obedience according to the Will of Allah. At that time, there was neither the Lawh (Divine Tablet) nor the Qalam (Pen), neither heaven nor hell, and neither any angel, earth, skies, sun, moon, jinn or human beings.

We can therefore see that there is no doubt that Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and all the Ambiya are alive, both spiritually and physically. Anyone who says that Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is dead and mixed with the soil (Astaghfirullah!) is denying what the Holy Quran and Hadith teaches us. Let us not associate with such corrupt and wretched people because the enemies of Allah Taala and His Beloved Rasool (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) are no doubt our enemies. May Allah Taala grant us the Taufeeq to understand the true status of Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and to stay away from those hypocrites that claim to be Muslims but insult our Beloved Aaqa (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), Ameen.
His sacred body never cast a shadow, whether in sunlight, moonlight or candlelight. He was always outstanding in height when he sat or walked even amongst the tallest people in a crowd. His Shahaadah finger was the same length as his middle finger. Sleep never broke his wudhu. When he smiled, rays of light beamed from his teeth. If he stepped on a rock, it melted to comfort his footsteps. Stones and trees greeted him saying, Assalaatu Wassalaamu Alaika Ya Rasoolullah when he passed them along his path. Angels and clouds shaded him when he walked in sunshine. His brilliant face glowed at night and outshone the radiance of the full moon. The moon moved according to the direction of his fingers when he played in his cradle as a child. He could see behind him as he could see ahead of him. He could see in darkness as he could see in light. His perspiration always had a strong fragrance similar to Kastori Musk, which is rare and is rated as the most fragrant and most expensive Attar in the world. He is the only creation of Allah Taala that saw Almighty Allah with his physical eyes. The first thing that Allah Taala created was his Noor and hence he is the first creation of Almighty Allah. He will be the first person to be raised on the Day of Judgment. He will be the first person to knock on the door of Jannat to be opened. He will be the first person to cross the Pul Siraat (The Bridge that lies above Jahannam leading to Jannat). He will be the first person to enter Jannat followed immediately by his beloved daughter Hazrat Sayyidah Fatima Zahra (Radiallahu Taala Anha). The huge crowd that will assemble at the Pul Siraat to cross the bridge will be ordered to shut their eyes because the beloved daughter of Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), Sayyidah Fatima (Radiallahu Taala Anha) will be crossing the bridge into Jannat.

He will be the first person to be granted the power of intercession on the Day of Judgment. He will hold the flag of Liwaaul Hamd in his hand on the Day of Qiyaamah under which all Prophets will assemble. He will be the first person to make Sajdah to Allah Taala and to see his Lord on the Day of Qiyaamah. He will make Shafaat (intercede) for the children (minors) of the Mushrikeen. He never yawned. A fly never sat on his body or clothes. A lice or mosquito never bit or harmed him. He is aware of the names of every person who will enter Jannat and all those who will be sentenced to the Fire of Hell. His knowledge when compared to the knowledge of Allah is of no comparison similar to a drop weighed against the ocean, and the knowledge of the entire creation is of no comparison when compared to his knowledge. He is the first Mumin (believer) who declared the Tawheed of Allah. He will be the only distributor of Divinely Blessed water at the Fountain of Kauthar on the Day of Qiyaamah. He was created as the ultimate mercy for the entire universe. No Ummahs of the past Prophets accumulated the Sunnahs of their respected Prophets as the Sahaabah of his Ummah did for him. A Shaitaan is born with every human and the Shaitaan born with Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) brought Imaan on him and became a Muslim. Allah Taala communicated with him in every form of Wahi. Allah Taala never addressed him in the Holy Quran by his personal name. He always addressed him by his beautiful titles. He is the only Prophet that was given the knowledge of Dajjaal and his activities. His chaste wives and daughters are the highest ranked amongst all the women of the world. The sand of his sacred city is Shifa for sickness. He is the only person from whom the Angel of Death sought permission to remove the soul. He is the only Prophet to have travelled on the Buraaq. He will be the only person to be blessed on the Day of Qiyaamah with the Buraaq as a mode of transport and be accompanied by 70 000 Angels of Mercy. It was made permissible for Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and his Ummah to speak while fasting, while it was Haraam for previous Ummahs to talk in a state of fast. The Ummah of Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) was ordered to give 2.5% as Zakaat annually while the previous Ummahs had to give 25% in Zakaat. The greeting of Assalaamu Alaikum is exclusive to this Ummah and not anyone else. If the past Ummahs committed sins Allah Taala sent Azaab (punishment) on them in this world but due to the presence of Rahmatallil Aalameen amongst us, we are saved from this humiliation. Many followers of Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) will be sent to Jannat without questioning on the Day of Judgment. There are 120 sectors in Jannat and 80 will be occupied by this Ummah and the remaining 40 by all the other Ummahs. [Quoted from Al Khasaisul Sughra written by Hazrat Imam Jalaaluddin Suyuti Rahmatullah Alaih] This is just a drop in the ocean of the uniqueness of Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) on which volumes can be written. Furthermore, it is due to his status and uniqueness that even his Ummah has been blessed by Allah Taala with much exclusivity. May Allah Taala grant us utmost love and respect for the highest and most beautiful of creation, our Beloved Rasool (SallallahuAlaihi Wasallam), Ameen.

He who visit my grave, my intercession is proved for him." (Dare Qutni and Baihaqi) He who visit my grave, my intercession is lawful for him. (Bazzar) The one who come to visit me in such a way that no other cause incite him to come, so it his right upon me that I will be his intercessor on the day judgement.

He who visited me after my demise as if he visited me in my life. And he who died in one of Haramain he will be raised in peaceful people. (Dare Qutni) 10. 10. He who performs Hajj in Makkah then he visits me in my mosque he will be given the reward of two Hajj (pilgrimage). (Musnadul Firdous) May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala give us taufeeq to visit the Blessed grave of the Beloved ProphetSalla Allahu ta'ala alaihi wa Sallam and save us from all misguided people. Ameen.

Hong-Wu (also known by his given name Zh Yunzhng) was the Emperor of China between 1368 1398 CE. He was the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, leading an Army that conquered the country and defeated away the Mongol-led Yuan Dynasty. Despite being a non-Muslim, Hong-Wu ordered the construction of several mosques in Nanjing, Yunnan, Guangdong and Fujian. He rebuilt the Jinjue Mosque in Nanjing and large numbers of Hui (Muslim Chinese) people moved to the city during his rule. He had around 10 Muslim generals in his army, including Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, Ding Dexing, Mu Ying, Feng Sheng and Hu Dahai. In addition, Hong-Wus spouse, Empress Ma, descended from a Muslim family while he was originally a member of a Muslim rebel group led by Guo Zhixin. Emperor Hong-Wu wrote a 100 word eulogy praising Islam, Allah and the Prophet Muhammad which he had placed in the mosques which he ordered to be built. The eulogy is in the form of a poem, each verse containing 4 words (characters) and 4 syllables. In the translation below I have strayed away from trying to keep the 4 word per verse translation in favour of a more literal translation which conveys the full meaning in flowing English.
