Re: who was ghaus e azam?
i think before questining her u should go and read urself ur gain knowledge meaning of GHOUS…
There is nothing wrong with using the title such as Ghaus-e-azam for such people as Sh. Abdul Qadir Jillian.
The Title of Sh. Abdul Qadir Jillian of Ghaus-e-azam simply mean “Great Helper” and those who have look at the life of the Sh. Abdul Qadir Jillian will know that he benefited so many people physically and spiritually by touching their hearts. Those who use these title do not claim he is the “Greatest Helper” as this title would only be for Allah (swt); Nor do they claim that Sh. Abdul Qadir Jillian is a “Great Helper” without the will and doing of Allah (swt). They are fully aware that Allah (swt) gave the ability to Sh. Abdul Qadir Jillian to carry out the excellent work that he did and live the noble life that he had.
some people use these titles too much when they could easily use the full name of the person they speak off. But that could be to do with the fact the way they been brought up and taught knowing these great people by these great titles; and titles are given to those who have high values. However I do not see why some people may object; these titles are mainly used in poems and manqabats,naats which is acceptable I believe. Furthermore in talks and speeches educated men and women as a whole referred to these people by their full names. Their is no harm in using these titles and people should not stress too much on these title nor call object to it and be silly in calling it shirk?
There are a lot of things which people do out of love and respect but why must we deem it mandatory on others or on the other hand force people to stop doing it. This is one of those petty arguments to divide the ummah… But I am glad it is discussed in a respected manor as we have a duty upon our self’s to find out what these titles mean and ensure they fit the character of the person they refer to and more importantly ensure these titles are appropriately to use and do not include shirk.
