Sad demise of His Holiness Dr.Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (R.A)

   On one friday morning, my world was a happy place with all the elements in its place. With the usual bowings to the maker. I turned my face to a smiling photo of a father whose love had no boundaries. The embryotic thread of spirituality that connected me and the rest of my brethrens that glowed in his divine face, made my day.my energy boosted at the photoframe image of the sun that cannot be seen by our naked eye. For he was the image of the sun, powered by the sun in these days of daur us sattar. With all the challenges of the day dangling on my head, there was a hand of god that shadowed and spoke in length- that he was there. He was there to hold me and help me fight my challenges. At the age of 35 like a child I stood infront of his photoframed image and murmed my love in unspoken words and shame on my face. Simply because today too like every other day, I was there to ask from him while following too little of what he said. Vajib to ghanu chhe….
   I have been doing this for god knows how many years now. And truly he heard. He heard me, because his name defeated such terrors that made my nerves ache in sorrow.
Everyday the same thought kept ticking my heart – mushkilo to chhe, kai nahi. Burhanuddin maula to baqi chhe.
    That day the 16th of rabi ul awwal, I followed the same program of my life. I saw his smiling face , asked him to bless me with safety that I reach the mosque & absorb the sweetness of mufaddal mola’s bayan to be relayed in the mosque.
    His smiling face satisfied me and I felt blessed. I kissed the photoframe & said goodbye.
But the maker above had a different thing in mind. Reaching the mosque, I waited patiently for the white projector to beam out the vaaz.but then I heard the faces that had terror, cry , pain and shock. A soundless echo in the beginning that had so much to say.
   The unbeleivable that had to be sipped in the cruel straw of time.

   And when the news entered my ears my body lost its feel, my tears rolled, my scream became soundless filled with grief. I felt I lost breath.my hands started trembling. I asked my brethren in the surrounding if it was true? But every one was in trauma. So I called my mother if it was true that my maula was no more. She had not heard the newd of grief. .kept on saying I dont understand what you are saying. How can one understand when the energy to understand was gone.
   I feel weak. My mobile phone rings have become inaudible, my work has lost all the flavours. I feel vulnerable to my challenges, I tremble to search for that hand of god. His name that is embedded in my heart & soul brings tears to my eyes.in my car , my tears accompany me and on my pillow they rest with me. The moist of my eyes have befriended them permanently and my heart aches with his absence for the feeling that the next time I will go for his deedar, it will be his ziyarat that I will be approaching for.
    The heart has accepted now that he has left his blessings to us. His saif that will protect us. And yes I know that syedna mufaddal saifuddin(tus) is my maula , my dai azzaman.
but my eyes keeps its pace, in offering the condolence from my heart & soul. Ansu thamta nathi.Aa shafiq bawani judai si kem na roye, kem na roye.. Sabr kem aavey….

Importance of The Teacher in Islam

    We are fully aware with the importance and the influence of a teacher in our society.  A teacher plays an important role in the character building of a child. So, it is very important for a teacher to be a man of his letters and must exhibit a strong character by his actions that persuade his or her students. Teacher is someone who makes a child and plays an important role in the personality building of his or her students.

Children spend more time in schools with their teachers than at home with their parents hence; this shows how crucial the role of an educator is. And when we talk about Islam and Islamic teachings the role Muslim teacher is even more fundamental. In our language we call religious teachers “Qari Sahab”, “Molvi Sahab” or “Ulema Karaam” who have strong command over Islam and are considered as the best tutor to teach children about Islam and the reality of this life. They actually teach children about Islam and the purpose of life which we actually have forgotten.

       Being a Muslim or religious teacher their main aim is to focus on the Islamic education so, that children can understand religion in a better way. Actually, it is very important for every Muslim to know about Islam in detail and lead life as per the teachings of our beloved Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) because this is the only way to lead a successful life. Moreover, if we are following the teachings of Islam then we can ensure us a place in heaven. And this is why the role of Muslim teacher is very crucial in our society.

Islam and Teacher:

       Our religion has laid a lot of importance on education and has declared it compulsory for every Muslim to acquire knowledge. Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H) has said “It is compulsory for every Muslim men and women to acquire knowledge.”

       This shows the importance of knowledge in Islam. Imagine if acquiring knowledge is so important then, what would be the status of teacher in Islam? Well, here are few quotes that would throw light on the standing of a teacher in our religion.

           Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) said “I am sent as a teacher.”

Molana Ali R.A said “One who taught me a single word, made me his salve.”

     Well, this is enough to let us know the status of Muslim teacher in Islam. We, being a Muslim must understand it and give our teachers their due respect because this will ensure that we make progress not only in this world but here after as well. Teachers should also understand their duties and must perform them wholeheartedly. They should be devoted and perform their job with full devotion and should transfer their knowledge to their students so that they go on to become a good human being.
