It describes his upbringing in a religious family, his education under renowned scholars, his scholarly works and positions teaching hadith and fiqh, as well as his exemplary character, humility, and defense of the Sunnah. It notes that he died in a car accident in 2004 while avoiding an animal in the road.
Imam Shafi'i was a prominent Islamic scholar and jurist who founded the Shafi'i school of thought, one of the major legal schools of Sunni Islam. Some key points:
- He was born in Gaza in 767 CE and died in Cairo in 820 CE. He studied under Imam Malik and others and developed his own legal methodology.
- He authored several influential works on Islamic jurisprudence including Al-Risalah and Al-Umm. His school of thought focuses on the Quran, hadith, consensus, and analogy.
- The Shafi'i madhhab is most prominent in East Africa, Yemen, Indonesia, Malaysia and other parts
This document provides evidence from the Quran for the Islamic belief in Qadar (divine decree or predestination). It cites several verses that affirm:
1) All of Allah's commands are decreed and must come to pass.
2) Allah accomplishes matters that are already ordained in His knowledge.
3) No calamity befalls except by Allah's decision, and He guides the hearts of believers.
4) Calamities are inscribed in the Book of Decrees before being brought into existence.
The verses presented emphasize that everything occurs by Allah's will and preordained decree, according to His eternal knowledge.

This document provides context about the book "Tanwir al-Miqbas min Tafsir Ibn 'Abbas", which is a commentary on the Quran. It discusses:
1) The book has been attributed to either the companion Ibn 'Abbas or the scholar al-Firuzabadi, but it was likely compiled by unknown authors centuries after Ibn 'Abbas.
2) Ibn 'Abbas's interpretations of the Quran are well documented, but this book contains references that prove it was not written by him.
3) The book provides an example of the tafsir genre of commentary, but does not represent a genuine transmission of Ibn 'Abb
The blind-following-of-madhhabs
Shaykh Muhammad Sultan al-Khajnadee
Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 65 | Size: 1 MB
Anyone who comes across the discussions of the followers of the madhhabs will not doubt that the misfortune of blind-following of madhhabs is one of the causes of decline of the Muslims and their backwardness. It has transformed their minds so that they do not think except with the minds of other people. The Imaams and their first students – rahimahumullaah – did not blindly stick to their own opinions like these followers who have forgotten a large portion of the advice given by the Imaams. Thus Shaytaan has caused enmity and hatred between them so that they relit a fire which Allaah had extinguished and in reality, they turned away from the sayings of the Mujtahid Imaams and clung onto the hypothetical answers given by late-comers who did not leave anything of the madhhabs except their names. Many scholars throughout the ages have understood this fact and so they have written about it and done well. But the work of ‘Allaamah al-Ma’soomee – rahimahullaah – Hadiyyat us-Sultaan ilaa Muslimee Bilaad il-Yaabaan is, despite its small size, perhaps one of the most beneficial books written on the subject. This is this due to its excellent style and strength of proofs, to the point that it is a fatal blow to the misfortune of blind-following of madhhabs. This is a concise version of this book, edited by Shaykh Saleem al- Hilaalee. This book was translated into English by Daawood ibn Ronald Burbank. We ask Allaah, the Blessed and Most High, to make this work beneficial to the Muslims. Those who do not give precedence to anything before Allaah and His Messenger, so that they may unsheathe the sword of knowledge, which is: ‘Allaah says… His Messenger says…’ And ride upon the back of truth, which is acquiring knowledge along with its proof. Thus expelling from Islaam the alterations of those going beyond bounds, the false claims of the deceptive, the misinterpretations of the ignorant and the bigotry of the blind- followers: those who pick and choose from the Qur’aan and divide up their Deen into sects and become separate groups.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Állāma Ábdu’l Hakīm Sharaf Qādri
The King of Gnostics 1
By Muĥammad Ábdu’l Mubīn Nu’māni Qādri 2
Translated by Abu Hanzala
It was on 1st
September, 2007 – 18th
Sha’bān, 1428 H – that Állāma Yāsīn Akhtar
Mişbāĥi telephoned me with the heart breaking news of the demise of Muĥsin-e-
Ahle Sunnat, Sharaf-e-Millat, Ĥazrat Állāma Ábdu’l Ĥakīm Sharaf Qādri Fāzil-e-
Lāhori. Innā lillīhi wa innā ilayhi raji’ūn.
Állāma Sharaf Qādri went and took a world of knowledge with him. He left the
field of writing, research and translating totally deserted. As soon as he went, it
felt as if the guiding light of this field had extinguished and the saviour of the true
religion had left us. Propagating the mission of Ahlu’s Sunnah was in his blood
and he worked tirelessly for the ummah.
Time and again he tried to get the leaders of the Ahlu’s Sunnah to congregate and
unite. He fully participated in the Sunni conference of Multan and even published
a report of it. Although he lived in Pakistan, his vision was worldwide. He always
offered his services where they were needed.
It was another Pakistani, Iĥsān Ilāhi Zahīr, who wrote the book al-Barelwiya and
the Saudi government published and promoted it all over the world. Állāma Sharaf
Qādri was the first person to write refutations to this book by writing Andhere se
ujāle tak and Shīshe ke ghar. Later, these two books were gathered and published
together as al-Barelwiya kā taĥqīqi aur tanqīdi jāyeza. This book shattered the
influence of al-Barelwiya and provided such a strong rebuttal of the false

accusations contained in it that proponents of Zaĥīr’s book were left
dumbfounded. Whoever read Állama Sharaf’s book saw the lies that had been
committed in al-Barelwiya and questioned the motives of the Saudis as to why
they would publish a book that spread so many lies. Állama Sharaf wrote the book
in Urdu but then added to it and translated it to Arabic by the name of Min Áqāyid
Ahl al-Sunnah and distributed it in the Arab world. This achieved positive results
and those scholars who had been misinformed about the name Barelwi were both
delighted to learn the truth and also amazed.
It is Állāma Sharaf Qādri who introduced A’la Ĥazrat Imām Aĥmad Raza
Muĥaddith-e-Barelwi to the Egyptian scholars. Publication of Basātīn al-Ghufrān
and al-Manzūmat al-Salāmīya - which are the Arabic translations of Ĥadāyiq-e-
Bakhshish and Salām-e-Raza respectively – came about due to his efforts.
After reading an introduction to his efforts, let us know see details.
Állāma Ábdu’l Ĥakīm Sharaf Qādri was born on 24th
Sha’bān [13th
August], 1363
H, in Mirzāpūr, District Hoshyārpūr [Punjab]. His father, Molvi Allāh Ditta bin
Nūr Bakhsh was a pious Sūfi. It was his fathers nurturing that alongside being a
leading scholar, Muĥaddith, writer and researcher, Állāma Sharaf Qādri became a
prominent preacher who caused a revolution.
It was in his early years that he migrated to Lahore with his father. They lived near
the Jāmia Mosque in which Állāma Ghulam al-Dīn had become renowned for his
oratory. Állāma Sharaf Qādri would often accompany his father to hear his
sermons. Állāma Ghulām al-Dīn would lovingly refer to Állāma Sharaf Qādri as
Állāma and Fāzil-e-Lāhori. Allāh made these words of Állāma Ghulām al-Dīn
ring true and in years to come, Ábdu’l Ĥakīm became known as Állāma and Fāzil-
e-Lāhori.
After his initial education, he received education at the following institutes:
Jāmia Rizwīya Mazhar-ul-Islām, Faisalābād
Jāmia Imdādiya, Bandyāl, District Khushāb
Jāmia Nizāmiya Rizwīya, Lahore
Dāru’l Úlūm Zia Shams-ul-Islām, Siyāl Sharīf
In these institutes, he was taught by the greatest scholars of the age, most notably:
Muĥaddith-e-A’zam Pakistan, Állāma Sardār Aĥmad Chishti Qādri Rizwi
[student of Şadr al-Sharīáh A’zami], founder of Jāmia Rizwīya Mazhar-ul-
Islām, Faisalābād

Bandyālwi
Ĥazrat Állāma Mufti Ábdu’l Qayyūm Hazārwi, Mufti-e-A’zam Pakistan,
Headteacher of Jāmia Nizāmiya Rizwīya, Lahore
Ĥazrat Állāma Mufti Muĥammad Amīn, Jāmia Amīniya Rizwīya,
Faisalābād
Ĥazrat Állāma Muĥammad Ashraf Siyālwi, Shaykh al-Ĥadīth, Zia Shams-
ul-Islām, Siyāl Sharīf
He taught at various institutes which include:
Dāru’l Úlūm Islāmiya Raĥmānia, Haripūr Hazāri
Madrasa Islāmiya Ishāát-ul-Úlūm, Chakwāl
Jāmia Na’īmiya, Lahore
Jāmia Nizāmiya Rizwīya, Lahore
Wherever he stayed, he continued his writing and publishing. His efforts truly
shone through when he became the Shaykh al-Ĥadīth of Jāmia Nizāmiya Rizwīya,
Lahore. Spending time with his teacher, Ĥazrat Állāma Mufti Ábdu’l Qayyūm
Hazārwi, was very fruitful and Állāma Sharaf Qādri helped his teacher establish
the Raza Foundation in Lahore from where 30 volumes of Fatāwā Riđawīyyah of
Imām Aĥmad Raza Khān were published with takhrīj [references].
Near the end of his life, Állāma Sharaf Qādri left teaching and concentrated fully
on writing. He was working on a translation of the Holy Qur’ān which I believe
was left unfinished.3
May Allāh allow one of his students or children to complete
this task.
When I first met Állāma Sharaf Qādri is Sirhind for the Úrs of Mujaddid-e-Alfi
Thāni álaihi’r raĥmah, my happiness was at its peak. For years we had
communicated in writing but never had the opportunity to meet. It was during this
meeting or another one that he said regarding his teacher: “Other teachers teach
their students but Muĥaddith-e-A’zam would give us our lessons to drink. It was
as though he picked something up and poured it into the heart.”
This method of teaching was also found in another student of Şadr al-Sharīáh
A’zami, namely, Ustad al-Úlamā’, Ĥāfiz-e-Millat Ĥazrat Állāma Shāh Ĥāfiz
Ábdu’l Ázīz Muĥaddith-e-Murādābādi, founder of al-Jāmiat al-Ashrafīya,

I heard on QTV from Mufti Munīb al-Raĥmān that Állāma Sharaf Qādri did finish this translation – Abu
Hanzala

Mubārakpūr, India. He would instill knowledge in his students regardless but
would also give them the spirit to act on this. This is the reason why the blessings
of Ĥāfiz-e-Millat are seen worldwide and the efforts of his students are well
acknowledged.
Ĥazrat Muĥaddith-e-A’zam Pakistan and other teachers instilled pearls of
knowledge in Ĥazrat Állāma Ábdu’l Ĥakīm Sharaf Qādri álaihi’r raĥmah and this
resulted in his great aspiration for tablīgh which he had throughout his life.
Regarding this ambition, Ĥazrat Állāma Ghulām Rasūl Sa’īdi writes:
“Ĥazrat Mawlāna Muĥammad Ábdu’l Ĥakīm Şaĥib Sharaf is a young scholar and
his heart contains immeasurable feeling for Ahlu’s Sunnah. To strive for the
Ahlu’s Sunnah is his mission and he produces more work than his means allow.
His optimism is great and his efforts are enviable and worthy of copying.
I am acquainted with Sharaf Şaĥib since my student days when, apart from Nūri
Kitāb Khāna, Lahore, there was no centre of Ahlu’s Sunnah in terms of tablīgh.
There was neither a reputable periodical nor any library. There was a drought in
the field of writing and publication. Conversely, the opponents were publishing
numerous books and pamphlets. Sharaf Şaĥib would often complain of this
situation and his heart was continuously broken due to this famine and the thought
of publishing books in support of Ahlu’s Sunnah would frequently trouble him.
A few years later, there was a revolution within Ahlu’s Sunnah. Many worthy
periodicals came into existence and libraries were founded in many cities. Various
books of Sunni scholars of yore were published. This encouraged others to start
writing and many new books came into the market.”4
This passage from Állāma Sa’īdi is enough to understand the revolutionary
endeavours of Állāma Sharaf Qādri. Noteworthy is the fact that this passage was
written 32 years ago when Állāma Sharaf Qādri was only 32 years of age. Indeed
the services that he rendered thereafter are so vast that detailing them seems very
difficult.
Where Állāma Sharaf Qādri was an outstanding teacher, he was also a master of
Logic and Philosophy. It was in his early years of teaching that he published his
marginalia of Ahmad Hasan bar Ĥamd Allāh which was unique and I believe it
has not republished since. After entering the sphere of writing, he began
concentrating on the books and monographs of Imām Aĥmad Raza Khān álaihi’r
raĥmah. He wrote marginalia to and translated some monographs and also wrote a
brief biography of A’la Ĥazrat entitled Yād-e-A’la Ĥazrat. From this we can tell
4
Tazkira Akābir-e-Ahle Sunnat, p.18-19, Fayyāz-ul-Ĥasan Bookseller, Kanpur, India
5. 5
that he had a special love for A’la Ĥazrat, the Imām of Ahlu’s Sunnah and this
was due to the tarbīyah of Muĥaddith-e-A’zam Pakistan álaihi’r raĥmah.
For the purpose of tablīgh, Mawlāna established Maktaba Qādrīya and published
important books of the scholars of Ahlu’s Sunnah. Similarly, he asked other
bookshops to publish these books too. He wrote prologues to Urdu and Arabic
books and some of these are so vast and well researched that they are, in
themselves, worthy of being published separately. For example, his prologue and
epilogue to Bāgh-e-Hindutān, translation of al-Shūrat al-Hindīya, are so extensive
that they can be classed as books.
He also published al-Ĥadīqa al-Nadīya of Állāma Ábdu’l Ghani Nābulsi from
Maktaba Nūrīya Rizwīya with his own prologue. When Állāma Arshad-ul-Qādri
read this work, he wrote in one of his letters:
“Yesterday, my eyes had the good fortune of seeing al-Ĥadīqa al-Nadīya. My
heart felt solace. Mawlāna Sharaf Qādri’s prologue is also a prologue for his
contemporaries. May Allāh give this Imām a worthy follower. The prologue is
capturing, strong, thought provoking and full of knowledge. The language does
not seem that of a non-Arab. May Allāh reward you all and open the door of
resources from the unseen. You have laid a sound foundation for he spread of
knowledge and wisdom.5
Now we will look at the written works of Ĥazrat Állāma Sharaf Qādri.
