pothik pother
Allah Pak Declares about the Ahle-Baeet Shareef and the
Awlade-Rwasool Swallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam, “O My Habeeb Swallallahu ‘Alaihi
Wa Sallam! Please tell them, ‘I Do not ask of you any reward but good conduct
for my near relatives". (Sura Shuara-23).
In the explanation of this Ayah Shareef, it
has been narrated in Tafsir-e-Mazhari, the world famous book of Tafsir (Vol.8,
page 320) that, Noor-e-Mujassam, Habeebullah Huzur Pak Swallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa
Sallam Declared, “I do not ask of you any return but you shall do your best by
showing proper honour to my descendents.” It may be mentioned, that Ha’drat
J’afar Sadiq ‘Alaihis Salaam was the 6th Imaam of those Ahle Baeet Shareef ‘Alaihimus
Salaam and one of the descendents of Huzur Pak Swallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam.”
The Mubarwak name of the sixth Imaam of Ha’drat Ahle Baeet
Shareef ‘Alaihimus Salaam, is J’afar, which means ocean or Jamiun Nisbah.
Truly, He was like an ocean from the perspective of ‘Ilm, wisdom and concept
having received the Ma’rifat and Muhabbat (wisdom and love) from Allah Pak and
Huzur Pak Swallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam. His Mubarwak Kuniat was Abu Abdullah
and Abu Ismail and His special title was Sadiq.”
His Mubarwak lineage from His father’s side is Hadrat Jafar
‘Alaihis Salaam ibn Ha’drat Muhammad ‘Alaihis Salaam ibn Ha’drat ‘Aalee
‘Alaihis Salaam Ibn Ha’drat Hussain ‘Alaihis Salaam Ibn Ha’drat ‘Aalee ‘Alaihis
Salaam. His honourable father’s name was Ha’drat Abu J’afar Muhammad Bakir
‘Alaihis Salaam. His honourable Mother’s name was Ha’drat Umme Farawa Binte
Ha’drat Quasim ‘Alaihas Salaam, Who was the daughter of Ha’drat Asma Binte
Ha’drat Abdur Rwahman Ibn Abu Bakr Siddik ‘Alaihis Salaam. His Nasab Mubarwak (lineage)
from His Mother’s side is Ha’drat Umme Farwa Binte Ha’drat Quasim Ibn Ha’drat
Muhammad Ibn Ha’drat Abu Bakr Siddik ‘Alaihis Salaam.”
Imaamul Muhsineen, Sultwanul Mashaaikh, Imaamus Siddiqin,
Fakhrul Ashiqin, Awlade Rwasool, Saiyiduna Imaam J’afar Sadiq ‘Alaihis Salaam
was born on the 17th Rwabiul Auwal Shareef of 96 Hijri on a Monday at the
Sacred City of Madina Shareef. This information is more authentic and
reliable.”
Imaamul Muhsineen, Sultwanul Mashaaikh, Imaamus Siddiqin,
Fakhrul Ashiqin, Awlade Rwasool, Saiyiduna Imaam J’afar Sadiq ‘Alaihis Salaam
was a ‘Mustajabud Dawat’. Mustajabud Dawat is one whose every supplication is
granted. Whenever He asked for anything, were accepted. Saying goes like this
that, once a man approached Ha’drat Saiyiduna J’afar Sadiq ‘Alaihis Salaam
requesting Him to appeal to Allah Pak so that He is rewarded with such amount
of wealth and assets that he could perform Hajj for many times. He did
supplication, “O Allah Pak! Allow this man such huge amount of wealth so that
he could perform the Hajj for fifty times”. Accordingly the man could perform
Hajj for a complete fifty times.”(Shawahidun Nubuwat-255)
His unprecedented praises and honours, Fadail-Fadilah
(blessings), dignity and reputations have been well covered in various books.
He received His Sacred Bisaal Shareef (expiry) on the 14th of Rajabul Harwam in
148 Hijri era on a Monday at the Scared city of Madina Shareef, which for this
year (1433 hijri) is on the 7 Auwal, 1380 Shamsi year (solar year), 5 June 2012
Isayee, Yawmus Sulasayee or Tuesday. So every Muslim should adore Him, learn
His Sacred life sketch, follow Him in every aspect of life and discuss Him more
and more everywhere.”
Not having the
required knowledge about the unprecedented praises and honours, Fadail-Fadilah
(blessings), dignity and reputations of Awlade Rwasool, Saiyiduna Imaam J’afar
Sadiq ‘Alaihis Salaam, a good many people are not in a position to rightly
adore Him and follow Him properly. As a result they are failing to gain the
satisfaction of Allah Pak and Huzur Pak Swallallahu ‘Alaihi Sallam. Therefore
it is Far’d for everybody to learn about Him since something which is Far’d to
practice, is also Far’d to gain knowledge on that subject. But surprising is
that nowhere in any syllabus of Madrasah, school, college or university His
topic is there. Then how the Muslims would learn about Him and adoring,
following and imitating Him, gain the satisfaction of Allah Pak and Huzur Pak
Swallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam? Therefore, it is Far’d-Wajib for the government
to include His Biography in the syllabus of all the Madrasah, school, college
or university and all educational institutes of Bangladesh.”
Further responsibility of the government is to declare an
official day-off on the occasion of His Bisaal Shareef. In the Muslim world
including our country, there are off-days on 1st May, Buddhist full moons,
durga festival etc. with which Muslims’ heritage have no connections nor do the
Muslims need them. But as Muslims, there should been days off on specially
blessed days and days with Muslim spirits like the Biladat Shareef (Birthdays)
and Bisaal Shareef (expiry) days of Ummul Mu’minin ‘Alaihinnas salaam, Ahle
Baeet Shareef ‘Alaihimus Salaam, Ha’drat Sahaba-e-Kiram RwadiAllahu Ta’ala
Anhum and Ha’drat Auwlia-e-Kiram Rwa’hmatullahi ‘Alaihim.”
The gist is: the 14th of Rajab is the day of Bisaal Shareef
(expiry) of Sultwanul Mashaaikh, Imaamul Muhaddisin, Imaamus Siddikeen, Awlade
Rwasool, Ha’drat Imaam J’afar Al Sadiq ‘Alaihis Salaam, the sixth Imaam of Ahle
Baeet Shareef ‘Alaihimus Salaam. So every Muslim should learn His Sacred life
sketch, follow Him in every aspect and discuss Him more and more everywhere.
And for the government, it is its duty and responsibility to include His
Biography in the syllabus of all the educational institutes of Bangladesh, a
country of 97 percent Muslims while at the same time, declare an official
day-off on the occasion of His Bisaal Shareef.”
