Sayyidah Umm-e-Rala رضى الله عنها

 

Fasahat-o-Balaghat aur danishmandi:

 

Sayyidah Umm-e-Rala Sarzameen-e-Arab ki aik mahir shaira thein. Unhein faseeh bayani par poora uboor hasil tha. Fasahat-o-Balaghat mein woh mumtaz maqam par faaiz thein. Woh badi Zaheen-o-Fateen thein. Un kay Andaz-e-Bayan say sun’nay walon par sehar tari ho jata, Jab woh guftagoo kartein to un ki baatein kanon say takranay say pehlay sun’nay walon kay dilon mein utar jatein. Un kay ash’aar jazbaat mein halchal macha detay aur khayalaat ko qaid kar letay. Sun’nay wala yeh samajhta keh koi bulbul naghma sara hai aur woh suntay hi wariftagi kay andaz mein pukar uthta: Azrah-e-Karam kuch aur!!? Mera khayal hai keh yeh ahsasaat ki nazakat ka shakhsana hai, Jis mein log aik doosray say badh chadh kar hotay hain. Yeh bandon par Allah T’aala ka Fazal-o-Karam hota hai. Allah T’aala Apnay bandon mein say jis ko chahta hai in khoobiyon say nawaz deta hai. Allah سبحانه و تعالى nay Apni Kitab-e-Mubeen, Jo Rahmat-ul-Lil Aalameen par nazil hui, Us mein yeh irshad farmaya:

 

“يُؤۡتِى الۡحِكۡمَةَ مَنۡ يَّشَآءُ‌‌ ۚ وَمَنۡ يُّؤۡتَ الۡحِكۡمَةَ فَقَدۡ اُوۡتِىَ خَيۡرًا كَثِيۡرًا‌ ؕ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ اِلَّاۤ اُولُوا الۡاَلۡبَابِ ۞”

 

“Jis ko chahta hai hikmat ata karta hai aur jis ko hikmat mili us ko haqiqat mein badi dolat mil gai, In baaton say siraf wahi log sabaq letay hain jo aqalmand hain.”

 

(Al-Baqarah: 2/269)

 

Irshad-e-Bari T’aala hai:

 

“كُلًّا نُّمِدُّ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ وَهٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ مِنۡ عَطَآءِ رَبِّكَ‌ ؕ وَمَا كَانَ عَطَآءُ رَبِّكَ مَحۡظُوۡرًا ۞”

 

“Ham har aik ko aap kay Rab ki ata say nawaztay hain in ko bhi aur unko bhi aur teray Rab ki ata (kisi say) roki hui nahin.”

 

(Bani Israil: 17/20)

 

Aik dafa Sayyidah Umm-e-Rala رضى الله عنها apni qoam kay wafad kay sath Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم ki khidmat mein hazir huien. Unhon nay Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم ko aagay badh kar السلام و عليکم و رحمة الله و برکاته kaha. Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم nay un kay salam ka jawab diya. Phir unhon nay araz kiya: Aye Allah kay Rasool صلى الله عليه وسلم! Ham pardah dar khawateen apnay khawandon ki diljoi karti hain aulad ko janam deti hain lekin lashkar mein hamara koi hissa nahin, Hamein koi aisa amal sikhla dein jo hamein Allah kay qareeb kar day aur Allah hamein Ajar-o-Sawab say nawazay. Jab Nabi Kareem صلى الله عليه وسلم nay Sayyidah Umm-e-Rala ki umda guftagoo suni to Aap صلى الله عليه وسلم un ki Fasahat-o-Balaghat aur mahirana Andaz-e-Guftagoo say mutassir huaye. Aap صلى الله عليه وسلم nay jawab mein irshad farmaya:

 

“عليکن بذکر الله آناء الليل و اطراف النهار و غض البصر وخفض الصوت”

 

“Tum rat kay uqaat aur din kay atraaf mein Zikar-e-Ilahi ko lazim pakdo, Nigah nichi rakho aur aawaz ko pasat rakho.”

 

(Al-Isabah (4/88) Usd-ul-Ghabah (3/438))

 

Yeh Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم kay Mawaiz-e-Hassana mein say aik bhot hi umda aur dilkash naseehat hai. Zikar-e-Ilahi a’ala darjay ki naiki hai. Yeh naiki Awwal-o-Aakhir behtar hi behtar hai. Tamam noiyat ki Khair-o-Barkat ka Markaz-o-Mahwar hai. Jo Zikar-e-Ilahi kay ilawa kahin khair ka mutalashi ho to usay wahan say khair nahin milay gi. Jahan tak nigah ko nichi rakhnay ka talluq hai yeh Khawahishat-e-Nafas ko qaboo mein rakhnay ka teer ba’hadaf nuskha hai. Is say gunah dhultay hain, Halakton say insan bacha rehta hai aur haram kay irtakab say insan kinara-kash ho jata hai. Irshad-e-Bari T’aala hai:

 

“قُلْ لِّـلۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ يَغُـضُّوۡا مِنۡ اَبۡصَارِهِمۡ وَيَحۡفَظُوۡا فُرُوۡجَهُمۡ‌ ؕ ذٰ لِكَ اَزۡكٰى لَهُمۡ‌ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ خَبِيۡرٌۢ بِمَا يَصۡنَـعُوۡنَ ۞”

 

“Aye Nabi! Mardon say kaho keh apni nazrein nichi rakhein aur apni sharamgahon ki hifazat karein, Yeh un kay liye zayada pakeeza tateeqa hai aur jo kuch woh kartay hain Allah us say ba-khabar rehta hai.”

 

(Al-Noor: 24/30)

 

Jahan tak aawaz pasat rakhnay ka talluq hai, Allah سبحانه وتعالى ko buland aawaz say pukara jaaye yeh Usay pasand nahin hai. Is liye keh Allah T’aala zameen ki teh mein chionti ki pasat tareen aahat ko bhi suntan hai aur pahadon ki chotiyon par reenganay walay keedon ki sarsarahat ko bhi sunta hai. Rasoolullah وسلم صلى الله عليه aawaz ki pasti ko taqwa ki alamat khayal kartay thay aur aap is khoobi ko bakhshish aur Ajar-o-Sawab ka baa’is khayal kiya kartay thay. Irshad-e-Bari T’aala hai:

 

“يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَا تَرۡفَعُوۡۤا اَصۡوَاتَكُمۡ فَوۡقَ صَوۡتِ النَّبِىِّ وَلَا تَجۡهَرُوۡا لَهٗ بِالۡقَوۡلِ كَجَهۡرِ بَعۡضِكُمۡ لِبَعۡضٍ اَنۡ تَحۡبَطَ اَعۡمَالُكُمۡ وَاَنۡـتُمۡ لَا تَشۡعُرُوۡنَ ۞ اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ يَغُضُّوۡنَ اَصۡوَاتَهُمۡ عِنۡدَ رَسُوۡلِ اللّٰهِ اُولٰٓئِكَ الَّذِيۡنَ امۡتَحَنَ اللّٰهُ قُلُوۡبَهُمۡ لِلتَّقۡوٰى‌ؕ لَهُمۡ مَّغۡفِرَةٌ وَّاَجۡرٌ عَظِيۡمٌ ۞”

 

“Aye Iman walo! Apni aawazon ko Nabi ki aawaz say buland na karo aur na Nabi kay sath oonchi aawaz mein baat karo, Jis tarah tum aapas mein aik doosaray say kartay ho, Kahein aisa na ho keh tumhara kiya karaya sab gharat ho jaaye aur tumhein khabar bhi na ho. Jo log Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم kay huzoor baat kartay huaye apni aawaz pasat rakhtay hain woh dar-haqiqat wahi log hain jin kay dilon ko Allah nay taqwa kay liye janch liya hai, Un kay liye maghfirat aur Ajar-e-Azeem hai.”

 

(Al-Hujuraat: 49/ 2-3)

 

Kon yeh chahta hai keh usay bakhsha na jaaye, Har aik ki yahi khawahish hai keh us ki bakhshish ho aur woh Jannat mein jaaye aur us ka shumar Muttiqeen kay zumray mein ho.

 

Sayyidah Umm-e-Rala ka taqwa:

 

Jab Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم nay wafat paai to Sayyidah Umm-e-Rala رضى الله عنها bhot roien. Madina Munawarrah mein Ansar-o-Muhajireen ka koi ghar aisa na tha jahan Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم ki wafat say Gham-o-Alam na ho, Kiunkeh Ahal-e-Madinah ki mahboob tareen hasti Duniya-e-Fani say aakhirat ki taraf kooch kar gai thi. Allah سبحانه وتعالى wafadar Sayyidah Momina Umm-e-Rala رضى الله عنها par Apni rahmat ka saya daraz karay aur unhein Jannat-ul-Firdous mein thikana ata karay aur unhein Apni raza say nawazay. Aameen Ya Rabb-ul-Aalameen!
