Re: Aik Din Junaid Jamshed Key Saath
AOA All: **Disclaimer:* Hareem ..don't get offended from this. It is basic dialogue to clarify a point in this video.*
Basic Aqeedah (belief) question:
I know that men visiting the graves is from the Sunnah of the Prophet SAW and it helps a believer remember death and the hereafter. But there is something else weird about what JJ is doing and saying.
- Those who are in the grave are dead and cannot hear or see any one in the living world.
How can JJ believe that the graves dwellers hear him?
He says "I come here and talk to them and they always listen to my problems (rough translation).."
The basic belief of a muslim from Quran and hadeeth of Prophet SAW is that: Whomever is dead cannot hear the livingnor can the living talk to them so that those in the grave can hear them. Even in the case of the Salam for Rasul Allah SAW being conveyed to him, the hadith tells that it is special for the Prophet SAW and the angels convey the salam of the believers to him.
Quran: **"Verily you cannot make the dead hear and you can not make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs and retreat." [Surah an-Naml 27:80] ** In this verse Allah SWT addresses His messenger, Muhamad (SAW), reminding him that he cannot make the disbelievers hear the invitation to Islam, for they are like the dead, who do not hear either.
Surah Al fatir vs 22 وَمَا يَسْتَوِى الاٌّحْيَآءُ وَلاَ الاٌّمْوَاتُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُسْمِعُ مَن يَشَآءُوَمَآ أَنتَ بِمُسْمِعٍ مَّن فِى الْقُبُورِ -
but you cannot make hear those who are in graves Ibn Kathir writes: This means, `just as the dead cannot benefit from guidance and the call to truth after they have died as disbelievers and ended up in the graves, so too you cannot help these idolators who are decreed to be doomed, and you cannot guide them.'
So what is JJ up to here?
Is Tablighi Jamaat preaching that ppl should talk to those in the graves?
Well, what can we say? He's not a scholar, and even scholars can make mistakes.
Hareem, many thanks for sharing.
I remember Junaid from his Vital Signs day. It was 1987 and their first single "Dil Dil Pakistan' just aired on PTV. The next days all the girls in my (class 8th) were whispering about the handsome guys in the video. I attended two of his concerts at Nishtar Hall in Peshawar back in early '90s. He was as tall and handsome on stage as I was used to seeing him on the TV. Fast forward to present, I had heard about him becoming an increasing devout Muslim; but this is the first time I have seen his new look and first time I heard him speak since his 'conversion ( for a lack of better word)'. One of the things that I particularly noticed about this segment was that his wife, though properly attired, did not had her head covered (Hijab). To me it shows his strength of character as a man..he does not need to 'force' his wife to cover her head to show the world that he is the 'absolute' Muslim head of the family. I much rather his wife stand by him by her own free will, raise good responsible Muslim children then be a sullen 'forced to wear Hajib' wife that disagrees with her husband and feel threatened in her own house.
Junaid seems very happy and at peace, I wish him all the best.
I think this programme is a bit old bcoz last year when Junaid Jamshed came to London, he said in one of his speeches that his wife and sisters have started wearing hijjab.
