A PARA ABOUT SYEDNA
ABU ZAR GHAFRI
In the Waddan valley which connects Makkah with
the outside world, lived the tribe of Ghifar. The Ghifar existed on the meagre
offerings of the trade caravans of the Quraysh which plied between Syria
and Makkah. It is likely that they also lived by raiding these caravans when
they were not given enough to satisfy their needs.
Jundub ibn Junadah, nicknamed Abu Dharr, was a member of this tribe.
He was known for his courage, his calmness and his far sightedness and also
for the repugnance he felt against the idols which his people worshipped.
He rejected the silly religious beliefs and the religious corruption in which
the Arabs were engaged.
While he was in the Waddan desert, news reached Abu Dharr that a new Prophet
had appeared in Makkah. He really hoped that his appearance would help to
change the hearts and minds of people and lead them away from the darkness
of superstition. Without wasting much time, he called his brother, Anis,
and said to him:
"Go to Makkah and get whatever news you can of this man who claims that he
is a Prophet and that revelation comes to him from the heavens. Listen to
some of his sayings and come back and recite them to me."
Anis went to Makkah and met the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be on
him. He listened to what he had to say and returned to the Waddan desert.
Abu Dharr met him and anxiously asked for news of the Prophet.
"I have seen a man," reported Anis, "who calls people to noble qualities
and there is no mere poetry in what he says."
"What do people say about him?" asked Abu Dharr.
"They say he is a magician, a soothsayer and a poet."
"My curiosity is not satisfied. I am not finished with this matter. Will
you look after my family while I go out and examine this prophet's mission
myself?"
"Yes. But beware of the Makkans."
On his arrival at Makkah, Abu Dharr immediately felt very apprehensive and
he decided to exercise great caution. The Quraysh were noticeably angry over
the denunciation of their gods. Abu Dharr heard of the terrible violence
they were meting out to the followers of the Prophet but this was what he
expected. He therefore refrained from asking anyone about Muhammad not knowing
whether that person might be a follower or an enemy.
At nightfall, he lay down in the Sacred Mosque. Ali ibn abi Talib passed
by him and, realising that he was a stranger, asked him to come to his house.
Abu Dharr spent the night with him and in the morning took his water pouch
and his bag containing provisions and returned to the Mosque. He had asked
no questions and no questions were asked of him.
Abu Dharr spent the following day without getting to know the Prophet. At
evening he went to the Mosque to sleep and Ali again passed by him and said:
"Isn't it time that a man knows his house?"
Abu Dharr accompanied him and stayed at his house a second night. Again no
one asked the other about anything.
On the third night, however, Ali asked him, "Aren't you going to tell me
why you came to Makkah?"
"Only if you will give me an undertaking that you will guide me to what I
seek."
Ali agreed and Abu Dharr said:
"I came to Makkah from a distant place seeking a meeting with the new Prophet
and to listen to some of what he has to say."
Ali's face lit up with happiness as he said, "By God, he is really the Messenger
of God," and he went on telling Abu Dharr more about the Prophet and his
teaching. Finally, he said:
"When we get up in the morning, follow me wherever I go. If I see anything
which I am afraid of for your sake, I would stop as if to pass water. If
I continue, follow me until you enter where I enter."
Abu Dharr did not sleep a wink the rest of that night because of his intense
longing to see the Prophet and listen to the words of revelation. In the
morning, he followed closely in Ali's footsteps until they were in the presence
of the Prophet.
"As-salaamu alayka yaa Rasulullah, (Peace be on you, O Messenger of God),"
greeted Abu Dharr.
" Wa alayka salaamullahi wa rahmatuhu wa barakaatuhu (And on you be the peace
of God, His mercy and His blessings)," replied the Prophet.
Abu Dharr was thus the f1rst person to greet the Prophet with the greeting
of Islam. After that, the greeting spread and came into general use.
The Prophet, peace be on him, welcomed Abu Dharr and invited him to Islam.
He recited some of the Qur'an for him. Before long, Abu Dharr pronounced
the Shahadah, thus entering the new religion (without even leaving his place).
He was among the first persons to accept Islam.
Let us leave Abu Dharr to continue his own story . . .
After that I stayed with the Prophet in Makkah and he taught me Islam and
taught me to read the Qur'an. Then he said to me, "Don't tell anyone in Makkah
about your acceptance of Islam. I fear that they will kill you."
"By Him in whose hands is my soul, I shall not leave Makkah until I go to
the Sacred Mosque and proclaim the call of Truth in the midst of the Quraysh,"
vowed Abu Dharr.
The Prophet remained silent. I went to the Mosque. The Quraysh were sitting
and talking. I went in their midst and called out at the top of my voice,
"O people of Quraysh, I testify that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad
is the messenger of Allah."
My words had an immediate effect on them. They jumped up and said, "Get this
one who has left his religion." They pounced on me and began to beat me mercilessly.
They clearly meant to kill me. But Abbas ibn Abdulmuttalib, the uncle of
the Prophet, recognised me. He bent over and protected me from them. He told
them:
"Woe to you! Would you kill a man from the Ghifar tribe and your caravans
must pass through their territory?"
They then released me. I went back to the Prophet, upon whom be peace, and
when he saw my condition, he said, "Didn't I tell you not to announce your
acceptance of Islam?"
"O Messenger of God," I said, "It was a need I felt in my soul and I fulfilled
it."
"Go to your people," he commanded, "and tell them what you have seen and
heard. Invite them to God. Maybe God will bring them good through you and
reward you through them. And when you hear that I have come out in the open,
then come to me."
I left and went back to my people. My brother came up to me and asked, "What
have you done?" I told him that I had become a Muslim and that I believed
in the truth of Muhammad's teachings.
"I am not averse to your religion. In fact, I am also now a Muslim and a
believer," he said.
We both went to our mother then and invited her to Islam.
"I do not have any dislike for your religion. I accept Islam also," she said.
From that day this family of believers went out tirelessly inviting the Ghifar
to God and did not flinch from their purpose. Eventually a large number became
Muslims and the congregational Prayer was instituted among them.
Abu Dharr remained in his desert abode until after the Prophet had gone to
Madinah and the battles of Badr, Uhud and Khandaq had been fought. At Madinah
at last, he asked the Prophet to be in his personal service. The Prophet
agreed and was pleased with his companionship and service. He sometimes showed
preference to Abu Dharr above others and whenever he met him he would pat
him and smile and show his happiness.
After the death of the Prophet, Abu Dharr could not bear to stay in Madinah
because of grief and the knowledge that there was to be no more of his guiding
company. So he left for the Syrian desert and stayed there during the caliphate
of Abu Bakr and Umar.
During the caliphate of Uthman, he stayed in Damascus and saw the Muslims'
concern for the world and their consuming desire for luxury. He was saddened
and repelled by this. So Uthman asked him to come to Madinah. At Madinah
he was also critical of the people's pursuit of worldly goods and pleasures
and they were critical in turn of his reviling them. Uthman therefore ordered
that he should go to Rubdhah, a small village near Madinah. There he stayed
far away from people, renouncing their preoccupation with worldly goods and
holding on to the legacy of the Prophet and his companions in seeking the
everlasting abode of the Hereafter in preference to this transitory world.
Once a man visited him and began looking at the contents of his house but
found it quite bare. He asked Abu Dharr:
"Where are your possessions?"
"We have a house yonder (meaning the Hereafter)," said Abu Dharr, "to which
we send the best of our possessions."
The man understood what he meant and said:
"But you must have some possessions so long as you are in this abode."
"The owner of this abode will not leave us in it," replied Abu Dharr.
Abu Dharr persisted in his simple and frugal life to the end. Once the amir
of Syria sent three hundred dinars to Abu Dharr to meet his needs. He returned
the money saying, "Does not the amir of Syria find a servant more deserving
of it than I?"
In the year 32 AH, the self-denying Abu Dharr passed away. The Prophet, peace
be upon him, had said of him:
"The earth does not carry nor the heavens cover a man more true and faithful
than Abu Dharr."
MASJID -E- ABI
BIN KAAB (RA)
1 . It is near to "Jannat-ul-Baqqi".
Here there was a house of Syedna Abi Bin Kaab (RA), where Prophet (S. A.
W.) oftently offered Prayers (Salat). Since Syedna Abi Bin Kaaba (RA) used
to love Prophet (S. A. W.) very much and he was great scholar. So Prophet
Muhammad (S. A. W.) oftenly used to go his house for discussions.
MASJID-E-ALI (R.A)
1. If you walk towards qibla
direction leaving masjid-e- nabvi behind you will find this mosque.The outer
area of Masjid-e-nabvi is surrounded by white marble floor where in rush
period pilgrims offer prayers.But the outside white marble floor in the qibla
direction always remains empty during compulsory 5 time prayers.Here obviously
you can not offer your prayer as it is the front part of IMAM and you can
not go ahead of IMAM. So you will have to walk on that particular floor to
come towards masjid-e-Ali.One thing must be noted that including this
three more historical mosques are also situated here. These are masjid-e-ghamama,
masjid-e-abubakar and masjid-e-umer. All these mosques are situated where
near to masjid-e nabvi (only 290 meters) and a pilgrim may see them without
any botheration ,just to walk.
2. Basically this mosque was
a house where syedna Ali R.A. took shelter when the enemies of islam
were spreading terrorism and committing atrocities through out madina munawarrah
after killing (shaheed) syedna UsmanR.A.

New and latest look of Masjid
Abu Bakar
1. Masjid-e-abu bakar siddiqi is
just few steps away from masjid-e-ghamama and masjid-e-ali. At this point
the first caliph of islam syedna abu bakar siddiq offered some of his eid
and general prayers . Because of this memorial reason a mosque is built
here.
Main Door of Masjid-e-jAbu baker siddiq.
2. This mosque is also situated
at walking distance from masjid-e-nabvi.If you come to the south of masjid-e-nabvi
(qibla direction) leaving it behind, you will find it at 335 meters from
masjid-e-nabvi and 40 meters to masjid-e-ghamama .

MASJID-E-UMER(R.A)
MASJID-SHIJRA
1. This mosque is 8 k.m away from holy madina towards
holly makkah.
2. once prophet Muhammad sallallaho allihi wasalam
took rest here under a tree. In arabic shijar means TREE.
3. Some muslim fellows (belongs to faqh-e-jafferia)
wear ahram from this place WHEN THEY GO HOLLY MAKKAH
FOR HAJ OR UMRA FROM HOLY MADINA,. BUT MUSLIMS SHOULD WEAR AHRAM
EITHER
FROM HOLY MADINA CITY
OR FROM MASJID -ZOOHALIFA- (ABYARE-ALI) 12 K.M FROM
MADINA MUNNAWARAH WHICH
IS EXACT MEEQAT (DEAD POINT OF WEARING AHRAM
FOR MADINANS)
4. No doubt shijrah mosque is a spiritual place to
watch.
