Allamah Syed Abul Hasan Nadwi, “R. A” (Part 7)
Since Allamah Nadwi, (R.A), is “Syed” and is from the Pure lineage of Syedna Hazrat Hassan bin Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, and in terms of his family and ancestors, he was also a descendant of pious, scholarly, inviting, caring and benevolent people, as in the second part of his life Some articles were written in this context, the Almighty Allah had given him beautiful qualities both in terms of lineage and in terms of attributes and privileges, the most important and obvious of which was a sense of benevolence and compassion for the Muslim world, especially the Muslims of the world.
The sense of benevolence and compassion for one’s fellow man is one of the qualities that Allah Almighty loves and appreciates, and whoever has this quality and characteristic will be loved by the Lord of the worlds, and the Almighty Allah will record his name in the golden pages of the history of mankind.
Syed Nadwi, (R.A), since he had a great burning inside and a great sense of benevolence towards the Muhammadan Ummah, after thinking and pondering and discussing, he came to the conclusion that the Islamic awakening and the revival of the beautiful Islamic civilization isn’t possible by sitting at home. Therefore, he decided to travel to Arab countries.
Traveling to Arab countries and warning about western culture
In the era when Hazrat Allamah Nadwi stepped into the stage of scientific and intellectual prosperity and looked at the ups and downs of the times with his wise eyes, the biggest danger that attracted his attention was the Western culture, which was the most decadent culture from the moral and social point of view, and Due to its shiny appearance, it was flowing towards Islamic countries and Muslim homes.
At the same time, the industrial revolution emerged and peaked, and the apparent progress of Western countries stole the thoughts of many Muslims and made them subservient. In fact, this civilization distorted hearts more than the appearance, and instead of stealing resources Naturally, the Islamic world stole their brains, thoughts, and as a result, their faith.
Allamah Nadwi with his deep vision penetrated the breadth of this danger and with his insightful vision warned of its unfortunate consequences and sounded the alarm of Islamic zeal, and since the Arab countries and especially the Arabian Peninsula and the Hijaz land more than anywhere else Another was in the path of this fundamental and dangerous flood, he felt that these countries need more aid and intellectual help; Therefore, along with the pain and thoughts he had, he packed his clothes and traveled in Islamic countries, especially Arab countries, and did not spare any efforts for the spiritual awakening of Muslims. Dr. Mohsen Usmani writes about him: “This impatience and anxiety provided him with the means to travel, neither the distance of the journey prevented him nor his poor health, he was the winning blade who fought against the domination of the West in the tangle of Islamism and Westernism and He traveled in the East and West to deliver the message of Islam to the four corners of the world, and also to return the nation to its vital highway, despite many hardships, and was engaged in jihad and revival until the last moments, until he rushed to meet Allah.
This Great man always thought and planned for people to reach their destination and for Islam to reach the heights of honor and pride in the world. This was while the colonialists used every tactic to rule the Islamic and Arab countries, sometimes to achieve their goal they divided the ranks of Muslims with regular planning, and sometimes they brought up the issue of ethnic prejudice and racism and to subvert the language of the Qur’an. , that is, the Arabic language also entered from every door. Allamah Nadavi, who was a knowledgeable young man, a pious and truthful scholar, evaluated all the corruptions and destructive plans of the West and thought to solve this crisis and inform the Arab Ummah. It was because he found love with the Muslim Brotherhood movement, and when he traveled to Egypt, he gave many speeches among them. “Bilal Abdul Hai Hosni” writes: Moulana had a relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood movement due to the fact that they have played a great role in awakening the religious zeal of the Arabs.
Maulana Nadwi felt pain for the pain of the Arabs, he was thinking about their mental and spiritual weakness, and he was always thinking about the drying up of the atmosphere of faith and certainty in that land.
Maulana Nazr Al Hafeez Nadwi writes: “In 1967, when the Arabs faced a huge defeat, it had a special effect on the heart and nerves of Moulana. For several days, such an atmosphere was created as if one of the family members had faced an accident; Because his greatest desire was dependent on the Arabs, he was never happy when he heard that someone had found a job in Makkah and Medina; Rather, he said: Muslims only go to Makkah and Medina for Hajj and Umrah. He had such an idea about Hejaz that he interpreted the region of Saudi Arabia as the holy land of Hejaz; Rather, he wanted to rule in such an atmosphere in the whole Arab world that only the worship of the one and only Allah can be done and he only wanted to observe the flow and rule of Islam in this whole land. For this reason, he considered the existence of Israel as a deadly tumor and said that Arab Israel was created due to the weakness of the leaders, and it will disappear when the true spirit of Jihad is awakened in all Arabs.
In fact, these lofty dreams of Hazrat Imam Nadwi originated from the fact that all the Islamic world had love for the Arabs and considered them as the source of Islam’s grace and honor and the history of Islam is full of important masterpieces of the Arabs and Muslims of the world and their negligence is the source of many corruptions and There will be disobedience and it was for this reason that Allamah Nadwi cared and paid a lot of attention to the Arabs. Dr. Yusuf Qarzawi writes: “Abul Hasan Nadwi attached great importance to the Arabs, their problems, their movement and their identity, because they are the foundation of Islam and the family of the Prophet, peace be upon him, and the lineage of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, and they should take the lead of the Islamic caravan and the caravan to guide Islam; As can be seen from his messages and compositions on various topics; Like: «من العالم الى جزيرة العرب»، «من جزيرة العرب الى العالم»، «اسمعی یا مصر»، «اسمعی یا (سورية) اسمعى يا زهرة الصحراء»، «العرب يكشفون أنفسهم» و…».
