He not only awakened his nation from deep slumber but also goaded it to gird up its lines. Verily, his life-giving poetry played a foundational role in paving the way to demand, strive and finally to establish an independent state for Muslims of the Indo-Pak Subcontinent. His thoughts which mainly reflected in his poetry, were inspired by the eternal message of Islam and Prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). The Sufis were the people who dedicated their lives to enlighten the world with the reality of the Truth and the reality of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). Allama Iqbal very aptly harmonized their thoughts in consonance with the demands of modern times. A thorough study of his poetry reveals that Allama Iqbal was a true interpreter of Sufis in highlighting the Haqeeqat e Muhammadia in its true spirit.</p> Saeed Ahmad, Dr. Muhammad Ijaz Copyright (c) 2022 Al Ehsan https://alehsan.gcuf.edu.pk/index.php/alehsan/article/view/1 Thu, 30 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000 Good Courtesy in the Light of Hikayat-e-Masnavi (A Research Review) https://alehsan.gcuf.edu.pk/index.php/alehsan/article/view/2 <p>Islam is a natural religion based on high values and virtues. A complete system for the training of the individual, and the welfare of the society emerges from the study of the Qur'an and Sunnah. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave an exemplary training to the Companions, by which they became a group with an exemplary character and behavior in the history of the world. Each of them has shone as a model of Islamic guidance. Moral teachings of Aftab-i-Resalat taught Arabs and non-Arabs the lofty morals that gave humanity the highest consciousness of a purposeful life. The Sufis played the most important role in the development of the moral teachings of the Crown Prince of the Universe. Maulana Rum is one of the imams of Sufism who have the status of sources of spirituality. He wrote a book called "Musnawi Manawi" full of important mysteries and symbols, which is still used by the world from East to West. The present study has reviewed the same to highlight the moral conduct and good courtesy.</p> Dr. Hafiz Muhammad Idrees Al-Azhari, Muhammad Abu Bakar Muhammad Abu Bakar Copyright (c) 2022 Al Ehsan https://alehsan.gcuf.edu.pk/index.php/alehsan/article/view/2 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000 Research Trends on Tasawwuf in Selected Universities of Faisalabad, An analytical Review https://alehsan.gcuf.edu.pk/index.php/alehsan/article/view/4 <p>Faith needs perfection and Tasawwuf is the pillar and a special branch of faith.

Through letters Sufis performed their duty of religious reform and self-purification. Much work has been done by Mujaddidi Order through their correspondence. The three volumes of the letters of Hazrat Mujaddid’s son Khawaja Masoom Sirhindi are also a link in this Naqshbandi Mujaddidi Order. The study of his letters and their receivers reveals that apart from the religious and political dignitaries of his time, he was also in touch with the people. This study is a manifestation of the cultural traditions of that time. In addition, the study of these letters is also very important from a linguistic point of view.

A crescent flag was hoisted over the area. Muhammad bin Qasim conquered the Multan region and laid the foundation of the Islamic Empire in the Indian (and Pakistani) subcontinent. Although this empire could neither be more stable, nor could it last for a long time due to the internal disturbances of the Muslims, it was enough that Sindh started to be called Bab-ul-Salam, and the way to this region was open forever and the arrival of Muslims started in the great Pak-India. In the twelfth century Hijri, the family of the famous great Muhaddith, commentator, and biographer, Makhdoom Muhammad Hashmi Thattwi along with Muhammad bin Qasim Thaqafalso entered Sindh in connection with Jihad. Some members of his family went back to Arabia and some settled permanently in Sindh for the purpose of propagating Islam. The present study is a critical review of the mystical (Sufi) thoughts of Makhdoom Muhammad Hashmi Thattwi</p> Dr. Fakhar Zaman Copyright (c) 2022 Al Ehsan https://alehsan.gcuf.edu.pk/index.php/alehsan/article/view/77 Fri, 30 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000 The The Beginning, Evolution And Popularity Of Unity Of Evidence: A Research Study https://alehsan.gcuf.edu.pk/index.php/alehsan/article/view/74 <p><em>In the eleventh century AH, Hazrat Mujaddid Alf-Sani refuted Sheikh Akbar's belief in the Oneness of Being. Shaykh Akbar Ibn Arabi's argument was that the attributes of caste are exact. The universe is a manifestation of attributes and since attributes are the same essence. Therefore, the universe is also the same essence. In fact, the attributes are not exact, but superfluous. The existence of Allah Almighty is perfect in itself. He does not need attributes for His fulfillment. Attributes are the determinants of its existence. He exists. But its very existence is its essence. She is audible. By myself He is All-Knowing. He is the seer of his own self. The attributes of God Almighty are not the exact essence but the manifestation of His essence and the whole universe is not the name of the manifestation of the attributes of God but the shadow of His attributes. The shadow is never exact and the manifestation is never exact. This is called Wahdat al-Shuhud.</em></p> Dr. Muhammad Qasim, Prof. Dr. Matloob Ahmad Copyright (c) 2022 Al Ehsan https://alehsan.gcuf.edu.pk/index.php/alehsan/article/view/74 Thu, 25 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0000 The Tradition of Tasawwuf in Palestine https://alehsan.gcuf.edu.pk/index.php/alehsan/article/view/76 <p>The word Sufism is the name of the special method on which a Sufi practice is born. Sufism has been given the name of self-purification in the term of the Holy Quran and Ihsan in the term of the blessed hadith. It is generally believed that the word Sufi is derived from the word Sufi, which means woolen cloth, while the word Sufi is derived from the Greek word Sufi, meaning wisdom and knowledge. Sufism is the spiritual part of the human body and is an important and integral part of the Islamic heritage. Sufis have played an important role in the propagation of Islam in every era. Like other Islamic countries, the tradition of Sufism is very old in Palestine. Sufism in Palestine symbolizes the spirituality of the place. This is the reason why there are still many mystical monuments in Palestine.</p> Hafiza Tahira Mumtaz, Dr. Imrana Shehzadi Copyright (c) 2022 Al Ehsan https://alehsan.gcuf.edu.pk/index.php/alehsan/article/view/76 Fri, 30 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000
