In the court of justice

FIRST STORY

Meer Wajid ali Qannawji narrates this incidence from his shaykh Mawlana Qasim that once he ( Mawlana Qasim) went to the ( town of ) Gangoh. There was an earthen pot kept in the “Khankah” . He took that earthen pot and put it in the well to get some water. When he drank the water , it was bitter. At the time of Zuhar Salah , he met Hazrat ( Rashid Ahmed) and told about the bitter water. Hazrat ( Rashid Ahmed) told that the water of this well is very sweet. He then presented that earthen pot filled with water to Hazrat ( Rashid Ahmed). When Hazrat ( Rashid Ahmed) drank water , he also found the water to be bitter. Hazrat said” ok leave it here” and he went for Zuhar Salah. After finishing Zuhar Salah , Hazrat ( Rashid Ahmed ) told everyone present there to recite” Kalima Tayyeb” as much as they can. Hazrat also recited kalmia tayyeb and after some time raised his hand , made dua ( supplication) and rubbed his hands on his face. After that , he took that earthen pot and dran water. It was found very sweet . Every one drank water and there was no bitterness in it. Then Hazrat told that” this earthen pot is made from the soil of a grave whose inhabitant was under “ punishment of the grave”. Alhamduillah , due to the blessings ( barakah) of kalmia tayyeb , now the punishment has been taken off .

SECOND STORY

1.To think that prophet was given the knowledge of ghyab ( unseen ) is SHIRK( Fawtwa Rashidiya, By same Mawlana Rashid Gangohi)

2. The who thinks that prophet was given the knowledge of the unseen he is a liar and is in kufr. ( Taqwiyatul Iman , Ismaeel Dehalvee)

3 The one who claims that he has the knowledge of the unseen and he can know the things of ghayb ( unseen) then he is a liar ( taqwiyatul Iman , Ismaeel Dehalvee)

4.Prophets, Awliya, Jinn ,shaytan, fairy and ghost do not have any special status in knowing the knowledge of the unseen . ( Taqwiyatul Iman , Ismaael Dehalvee)

5.Any one who says that except Allah , some one else also has knowledge of ‘ ghayb’ ( unseen) ,he is indeed kafir, he should not be made imam of the prayer. No relation should be kept with him ( Fatwa Rashidiya , Vol 2, page 10)

6.when the prophets do not have the knowledge of the unseen, it would not be impermissible to say ‘ ya rasul ALLAH’ ( fatwa rashhidya , vol 2 page 3).

7The prophet being higher than the angle of death does not mean that he knows more than or even equal to angel of death in these ( earthly ) matters.

( Baraheen Qatiya , Mawlana Rashid and Mawlana Kahleel)

8.Shaykh Abdul Haq has narrated that prophet was not aware of what is behind the wall ( barahen qatiya)
