SOVEREIGNTY&ULTIMATE POWER RESTS WITH GOD.DOES SHARING/CLAIMING IQTIDAR/ HUKUMAT IS A KIND OF SHIRK (PARTNERSHIP WITH GOD) WHAT IS MAQAME MAHMOOD?

• If not Caliphate then Democracy” is a bit lesser ?type of evil today provided the election is free fair & the leader do not claim Hakmiat i.e. unaccountable ?authority or solitary power lies in him, therefore a leader ?has to have most of the traits that ?are conveyed through Angels ,mentioned in all Holy Books /Scriptures &ordained through all Holy Prophets.So something is better than nothing? Let us pray for the glorification of Islam as early as possible
• In Mahshar /Qyamat (The Grand gathering ground in the Hereafter) there is an area named Maqam-e-Mahmood. There is a pulpit having a thousand steps of light (Noor).At the top, above all others, is the station of the last Prophet Muhammad,
• When we study the Seerah of Prophet Muhammad? and look at everything he (?) did for his community and how he delivered the message of Islam to a harsh society, we do so in the past tense. However, we often forget that the Prophet’s (?) mercy and compassion will also help us in the future, and at a time when we may need it the most.
• The Holy Qur’an mentions about the exalted station of Prophet Muhammad? on the Day of Judgement in the following verse.?????? ???? ???????????? ???????????????? ???????????? ‘Your Lord will certainly raise you to?“maqam al-mahmud” – a station of praise and glory?(i.e. the glorious station of intercession where all the former and later generations will turn towards you and glorify you).’
• ?(Qur’an 17 Surah Al-Isra:Verse 79)Its mentioned in a hadith:According to Abu Hurayra(RA):“Allah’s Messenger? said:?‘I am the first from whom the earth (i.e., the grave) will split open, so I shall be attired with one of the garments of the Garden of Paradise. Then I shall arise on the?right side of the Heavenly Throne (at the Most Praiseworthy Station),and not one of the creatures will occupy that station apart from me!’”
• The Holy Prophet ? has the utmost nearness to Allah, with ascension and elevation bestowed in abundance. Allah says in the Holy Qur’an in reference to the night of Mi‘raj (Night Journey to the Heavens),?‘Then He (the Lord of Honor) drew closer (to His Beloved Muhammad [blessings and peace be upon him]),and then drew even closer. Then a distance measuring only two bow-lengths was left (between Allah Unveiled and His Esteemed Beloved) or even less than that (in extreme nearness).
• ?(Qur’an Chapter 53 Surah An-Najm: Verses 8-9) The events of this meeting on Shab-e-Mir’aj are a secret and none of us know what passed between Allah and His Messenger (?).However, the events of the Day of Judgment will be witnessed by the whole of humanity. Before the whole of mankind Allah will ascribe to the Prophet (?) an elevated station.
• Allah will, in His infinite wisdom instill in the hearts of men the thought of approaching other Prophets(AS) at first, and then after being rejected from there to humbly come to Prophet Muhammad? so that it may become very clear to all that the lofty rank of intercession belongs only to him?, and no one else has been given that privilege.

1???? .Worthy audience, first of all let us be clear on one point & that is what is Mundane system of attaining political supremacy or “Iqtidar” or Hukumat. Folks there is no such concept in Islam rather democratic abnormality resulting into election of unholy or errant leader is highly ????repugnant to Islamic teachings & Holy Quranic injunctions, As per the religious practices Caliph (Khalifa) or the leader of Muslims is supposed to be the available most pious person nominated by the nobility. That is how the ruler is elected to serve the people under his jurisdiction. Likewise power sharing or coalition or Mukhloot Hukumat tantamount to "Promiscuous"?tenet. It is like Shirk, indeed ? Folks the bright side is that over a period of time the concept of caliphate dwindled in malpractices of the rulers thus was pushed aside by the mundane Kings ,Monarchs, Clergy, Colonial Rule& Dictators so what we seek in “Democracy” is a bit better form of evil today if the election is free fair & the leader do not claim Hakmiat i.e. unaccountable ?Authority or solitary power lies in him, therefore a leader ?has to have most of the traits that ?are conveyed through Angels ,mentioned in all Holy Books /Scriptures &ordained through all Holy Prophets.So something is better than nothing? Let us pray for the glorification of Islam as early as possible. So now we take on the other part of this Article as under. ??

2?? . Worthy audience on the Day of Judgment, Allah? will establish His?sovereignty on His Throne of power and supreme authority, befitting His Glory and the Prophet (?) will be given a chair on the right side of Allah?’s Throne to show his superiority above all creation. Allah? is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and it is?up to Him whom He allows to sit on the right side of His chair. This cannot in any way diminish or reduce the Majesty of our Creator. For instance when a King sits with His slave, this does not reduce the status of the King but only exalts the status of His slave. In the same way the Holy Prophet (?) is the worshipful slave of Allah?.?The honor and rank of the Prophet? in the sight of Allah is unmatched and no other creation of Allah occupies such a rank and similarly in the sight of Allah, his greatness is unequalled by anyone.?

3???? .Worthy audience after every Azan a dua (besieging Allah to grant Maqam-e-Mahmood to Holy Prophet ?Muhammad (?),The question is where is Maqam-e-Mahmood? On the day of Judgment i.e ?on Dooms Day Roz-e, Mahshar (the Grand gathering ground in the Hereafter) there is an area named Maqam-e-Mahmood. Folks ,in Heaven there is:-

• A pulpit having a thousand steps of light (Noor).At the top, above all others, is the station of the last Prophet Muhammad, thereafter is the Victorious Lion of AllahAli bin Abi Talib
• Other stairs belong to the Imams and Prophets in accordance with their status in the sight of God. Then those who left this world with Faith in and love for Allah in their hearts, those who made themselves reach and gain this company which we call and seek, that is the spiritual company, those who remained with the Progeny of Muhammad and so their holy souls joined with the holy souls and the pious ones.
• Then, there, in this Maqam-e-Mahmood, their orator is the Holy Prophet, standing on the highest stair. He praises Allah and gives a sermon, wherein, according to narrations, he praises God in a way no one had ever praised earlier. What a pulpit on top of which is the Holy Prophet and below it are the prophets, legatees, Imams and the best people. What other distinctions should I say?
• Just know that it is so great that you say: O Lord! Let me reach Maqam-e-Mahmood for the sake of the holy blood, which was spilled, the blood of Husain who is a divine sign.

4???? .Worthy audience It is the place praised much, from where so much mercy and rewards rain. It is so high and glorious that the audience gets full reward of spirit. It is said that if, in that gathering at Maqam-e-Mahmood, You’ the lucky audience will reply, ‘How can we leave this pulpit of Muhammad?’ ??on the Day of Judgment, Husain will be under the shade of the Throne of God and (As per Ahke Tashi belief) God will be gathering those who had visited Husain’s grave and his Shias and they will get so much happiness, delight and mercy that it cannot be described except by God. So much so that from one side, fairies from Paradise will arrive with a message saying, "We are your lovers and we are eagerly waiting for you." The people at the said Maqam-e-Mahmood will reply, "We will come to you afterwards, if Allah wills." Once a man came to the Holy Prophet and said, "O Messenger of God! Kindly show me the way whereby God may love me and people also may love me and my possessions also may increase and my body may remain healthy and my life may be long and God may raise me up with you in the Hereafter." The Holy Prophet replied, "These are six desires which require six virtues. If you want that God should love you then fear Him and refrain from sinning and if you want that people may befriend you then do good to them and do not envy for what is in their possession and do not vie for it and if you wish that your property should increase then pay the poor tax (Zakat) and if you want that your body should remain healthy then give more charity and if you desire to live longer then take care of relatives and be kind to them and if you intend and hope that God may gather you with me on the Day of Judgment, then extend your prostrations for God Almighty." Folks to seek Allash’s forgiveness & reach close to Maqam-e Mamood we need to:-

• Attain nearness to Allah through prostration Is it an ordinary thing to be with Muhammad? It is not possible without qualification and capability. One who has no qualification does not benefit.
• Humanity and spiritualism must be created so as to be able to sit on a throne. This man desires to sit with the king of the universe. The Holy Prophet shows him the way, which if adopted, can enable him to be with Muhammad.
• Prophet Mohammad said: Make more and more prostrations (Sajda). Because prostration is to push back everything except Only One God. It is to cut off the heart from everything else. The longer the prostration, the better it is.
• The servant is nearest to his Lord when he prostrates before Him.If one weeps in prostration it is still better. The nicest recitation too is: There is no god except You, the glorified. Indeed I was of the wrong doers (Laa Illaah illaa anta subhaanaka innee kuntu minaz zaalimeen) for twenty times, a hundred times, a thousand times. ??
• If you want to attain spiritualism it requires some effort. You should be prepared to do deeds, which may disconnect you from the material world and take you towards spiritualism. Otherwise, supposing even if they bring you near the Prophet, ?

5 .Summarily, if one desires nearness to Muhammad while continuing to sin, it is merely wishful thinking because sin leads to the neighborhood of Satans and Pharaohs. So there is no alternative to walk on the path of obedience and worship which leads to Paradise and the neighborhood of the Holy Prophet and the more one worships and obeys, the nearer he gets to Paradise and the beloved ones of God. Among the kinds of worship, prostration is more effective in creating spiritual nearness. Qur’an and a number of narrations have emphatically mentioned that there are some specialties in the matter of prostration. What is shown by the Imams is briefly listed below:

• Prostration (Sajdah) is the way of those who repent and turn towards God.
• Prostration gives utmost trouble to Satan.
• Prostration drops sins just as wind drops leaves of a tree.
• Prostration is a position wherein the servant is nearest to God.
• Prostration is a condition in which man is in utmost humility and slavery in front of the Lord creator.
• In addition to extreme self-restraint, there are other worship and deeds, which strengthen the soul
