AIMS &OBJECTIVES OF JAMIA SUFIYA

[1] Past and Present Status


QOUTE, “For generations, sciences such as Tafseer (commentary), Hadith (tradition), Fiqh and Wasool-e-Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence and its four foundations), scholastic philosophy & rhetoric, logic and philosophy etc have been part of the Islamic Studies curriculum. For centuries, Tasawwuf (mysticism) was also a part of it. Therefore, as well as Jalalain and Baizawi, Roohul-Bayan was incorporated in to the course along with Bukhari & Muslim, Riyazus-Saleheen and other books relating to Hadith that were taught in the Madrasahs (religious learning institutions) and are still found in the library. To further my point , I would like to quote a couplet of Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (May Allah shower His mercy upon him).

Khusha masjid wa madrasah khanqah hai 
Ke darway buwad qeel wa qal Muhammad (PBUH)

Three holy establishments have taught the sayings & actions of the Guide of the world, Prophet Muhammad (Peace & Blessing of Allah be upon him). These are the Mosque, Madrasah (religious institution) and Khanqah (spiritual retreat for Sufis). It is a matter of deep regret that for last 100 years, teaching and training in mysticism and Sufism was taken out from the syllabi and as a result, spiritualism as well as moral and ethical values have started to plummet. In the modern age, Sufism has been referred to by indecent utterances such as the "Pill of Opium" and Sufis have been labelled as a "group of deserters". How much have we gained and lost by forsaking the teachings of Tasawwuf and Sufism? I leave this question open for discussion for those with knowledgeable insight.

It is true that turning away and neglecting the Sufism that is a part of the heritage of the Prophetic Khanqah has caused irreparable damage to Mosques, Madrasahs (religious learning institutions) and Khanqahs of the present day.

Let bygones be bygones. There is no need to say more in this regard. By the virtue of Allah the Exalted and with firm determination I came to think that ‘instead of cursing the darkness, it is better to light a lamp’. And the name of this lamp is Jamia Sufiya. This is the first of the reasons for the establishment of Jamia Sufiya.”
[2] BLENDING OF IDEAS AND ACTIONS

“There is no doubt that for a long time there has been much deliberation and contemplation over the establishment of Jamia Sufiya. Ideas and activities regarding its formation have appeared then seemingly vanished. Many challenges have been faced regarding its establishment but in spite of this, we have continued to make a determined effort until the materialisation of Jamia Sufiya finally took place on 1st Jan 2002/27th Shawwal-al-Mukarram 1423 AH.
The objectives of Jamia Sufiya can be compared to a group of people whose aim it is to obtain water from barren, hard and unfertile land. The group have a firm belief that if water cannot be obtained today, the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth will allow them to reach their goal at some point in the future.
Faqeer Ashrafi says with sincere spirit and emotion that had it not been for the enabling grace of Allah the Almighty, the establishment of Jamia would not have come to fruition. Allah has promised - "Those who strive in Our path surely will be shown the righteous path" (Al- Qur'an). Through the materialisation of Jamia, His illuminating shower of mercy can be seen and felt. Despite unfavourable circumstances, by the grace of Allah the Almighty, Jamia Sufiya is headings towards its targets as each day passes. Jamia Sufiya, managed by Spiritual Foundation, is proof of His beneficent promise. This is the second reason for its establishment.
[3]We Acknowledge
“We acknowledge that the sciences of Tasawwuf, purification, Ihsan (kindness) and strength in character allow us to pass through thorny paths. For this however it is necessary to acquire knowledge first because without knowledge, practice remains incomplete. And without practice, knowledge remains inadequate. I endeavour to make Jamia Sufiya a luminous lamp, a lamp which has to be kept illuminated with knowledge and practice so that other lamps could be illuminated by this one. This is the third reason for its establishment.”
[4] The Madrasah and Khanqah
“Before I proceed I would like to clarify that it is neither an objective of Jamia nor in its curriculum to have the intention of developing its students to reach the spiritual heights of an Abdaal, Wali, Qutub or Ghaus. This would be an idea of an insane mind, since such high ranks are bestowed upon man by the bounties and blessings of Allah rather than the efforts of other men - "Such is the grace of Allah which He bestows on whom he wills." (Al-Qur'an).
We are making a concerted effort to explore the possibilities in compiling a course structure for Jamia Sufiya. It has been a hundred years since it has lost its treasure of teaching & training. Starting afresh, we are facing many difficulties and problems but we hope to overcome them. It should be noted that Sufism has not ceased to exist in the past hundred years so it should not be assumed that we are the first institution to proceed with its work in this period.
For centuries, copious amounts of work have been done on Tasawwuf, Salook, Shariat, Tariqat and Ihsan and Irfan in the Muslim world. This work continues today, whether it is individually or collectively. I would like to inform you that the guidance is connected with the Guide of the world. Therefore, till the Day of Judgment, works pertaining to the guidance of the people will continue.
In the light of above mentioned facts, we acknowledge that the Madrasah & Khanqah have been overlooking their duties, intentionally or unintentionally, in spreading and promoting the Sufism. The result has been a negative one as the new generation of the Madrasah and Khanqah are free from influence of its practice (illah ma sha'a Allah). Our Madrasahs and Khanqahs are themselves responsible for this miserable condition due to a lack of real spirit (illah ma sha'a Allah). This is the reason why the Poet of the East wept while saying:
UthaMainMadrasahWaKhanqahSeghamnak
Na zindagi na muhabbat na ma'rifat na nigah
OurMadrasaandKhanqahcutasorryfigure.
There is no life, no love, no enlightening knowledge. (Allama Iqbal)
To reform the above mentioned sad situation, intentionally or unintentionally created by the Madrasah and Khanqah, is the fourth reason for its establishment.

[5] Nothing but Effort

History witnesses that in every age Sufis, Ulema, Auliya (pious men) and Fuqaha have faithfully transmitted the message of the Prophet (Peace & blessing of Allah be upon him) successfully by means of the Madrasah and Khanqah to the world community, irrespective of colour and race. Passing on this valuable asset and the rich heritage of mystic knowledge to the world community is an objective of Spiritual Foundation and the Foundation is gaining its foothold in these activities. To achieve these aims, we need to create an atmosphere where the Madrasah and Khanqah function in an organised manner in order to spread the knowledge of Sufism, so as to reform the soul and to build the character of man. Jamia Sufiya is a distinguishing institution in the sense that it provides a unique environment where knowledge of Sufism combined with modern education can be acquired. In other words, its students would have both spiritual and material knowledge.
Keeping this objective in mind, we have progressed further in terms the practical work involved. The work we are doing is merely an endeavor. To make an effort is my duty but the completion is in the hands of Allah the Exalted. This is the fifth reason for its establishment.

[6]Reality of This World

The model of the proposed plan of the Spiritual Village is fast-approaching. Jamia Sufiya and Meditation Centre is fast becoming a reality. We cannot deny the fact that without modern and technical education, we cannot keep pace with the modern world since the social & cultural onslaught is devouring the vitals of our societies.
It was certainly a golden period when the ruling elite and the wealthy provided the financial support to the Madrasah and Khanqah. Ulema and Sufis in the Madrasah and Khanqah were free from economic problems and engaged in the training, teaching and service of mankind with sincere intention. However, the reality of the world is that today our society, manners, culture and style of living is in complete disarray. As a matter of fact our material needs have abandoned the concept of trust in God and contentment.
Principles and conduct are making dramatic changes in every walk of life. Ethical values are swiftly being eroded and human greatness and magnificence is on a rapid decline. The purpose of the acquisition of knowledge once was to reform the self and to serve fellow man. Now it is acquired for material gain, earning a name, fame and wealth. Therefore, there is a need to protect the coming generation from these incurable maladies. Thus such an atmosphere has to be created in the Madrasah where a relationship has to be established between the glorious values of the past and modern-day education. The course and curriculum must therefore be arranged in such a manner that the student is provided with a contemporary and technical education, so that he could face the challenges of the world with strong courage and determination. This would also provide him a means of fulfilling his material needs and allow him to provide for his family.
To achieve these profound aims and objectives, we have embarked on a journey with little pressure regarding the outcome of the result, be it a positive or negative one. We are going ahead with a set goal in mind, constantly seeking Allah's blessings and guidance to show us the right path and leaving the end results to Him, since He is the only Guardian of all His creations - "And I submit all my affairs to Allah. Verily He is all Guardian of His creations". (Al-Qur'an). This is the sixth reason for its establishment.

Hazrat Allama Maulana Arshadul Qadri Rehmatullahi A'laih

Hazrat Allama Maulana Arshadul Qadri Rehmatullahi A'laih

---------------1-------------------------------------------------
Hazrat Allama Maulana Arshadul Qadri Rehmatullahi A'laih
We are all saddened by the fact that on the 29th of April 2002, the light of our hearts, the true lover of the Holy Prophet Sallahu Ta'ala Alaihi wa sallam, the great Scholar, RA'EES-UL-QALAM HAZRAT ALLAMA MOULANA ARSHADUL QADRI REHMATULLAHI ALIA departed from this mundane world, to meet his Lord ALMIGHTY.......Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilayhi Raje'oon.
This apparent demise of this great Scholar and Pious person of Islam, has left everyone in great shock, and has created a big 'gap' in the Ahle sunnah Wal Jama'at structure, which is quite difficult to estimate, as HAZRAT ALLAMA MOULANA ARSHADUL QADRI REHMATULLAHI ALAY was THE main person involved in differentiating the good from the bad, the truth from the false.
It is only after a person passes away, do we realize how exalted and Knowledgeable that person was. We always think that we should have prepared a document of some sort on his Life and Works dedicated towards Islam, but we never seem to do this in their lifetime. We always wish that we could have kept a record of all of his Works and Services rendered to Islam and its nation. Even Mujaddid-e-Azam, Imam-e-Ahle Sunnah Shah Ahmed Raza Khan Fadhile-e-Bareilly Radiallahu ta'ala anho noted this when he (Radiallahu ta'ala anho ), was categorizing his journey for Hajj. This has always been our weakest sector in our past, and has been the sole reason for why we have not been giving full publicity to our Great Scholars and the Pious. Consequently, our children have not yet been brought up to realize and accept the efforts and the hardships contributed into the propagation of Islam, because we have not yet provided them the facilities, such as literature on these Great Scholars.
As we all know, it is quite difficult to write a biography of any personality after their demise, since searching for records, dates and their genealogical charts is an almost impossible task. However, alhamdolillah, Allama ¡¥Ala'ul Mustafa Qadri saheb had already wrote a small but concise biography on this learned scholar, which we are quite grateful of, named "Hayat-o-Khidmat¡¨, "Life and works" of Huzoor Sadrush Shariah Rehmatullahi Alay (Pages 462-464)
There is not much that a humble servant like myself can say concerning HAZRAT ALLAMA MOULANA ARSHADUL QADRI REHMATULLAHI ALAY, however, there are a few highlighted points that we need to consider which are worth of being noted and remembered:
He was always prepared to defend the Pristine teachings of Islam, by writing books differentiating between the Haq and the Batil, the truth from the
false, such as "Tableeghi Jama'at", "Zer-o-Zabar", "Lala Zar", "Zalzala", and so forth. By reading these concise books, one immediately faces the truth from the falsehood conveyed by the mendacious and unreliable groups of this modern Age.
His knowledge was so vast that even Huzoor Hafiz-e-Millat, Allama Shah Muhaddith-e-Muradabadi, thumma Mubarakpuri, Allama Abdul Aziz Sahib Rehmatullahi Alay, stated about this when HAZRAT ALLAMA MOULANA ARSHADUL QADRI REHMATULLAHI ALAY was studying under his supervision at a very tender age, at the famous University of the ' Mother of Knowledge ', AL-JAMIATUL ASHRAFIA, in Mubarakpur, U.P. (See www.aljamiatulashrafia.org).
His in-depth knowledge is such, that if someone searches deeply and researches, the qualities of a great learned Scholar would immediately emerge.
BIRTH AND GENEALOGY
HAZRAT ALLAMA MOULANA ARSHADUL QADRI REHMATULLAHI ALAY was born in 1924, in a town "Sayyidpura", in the district of Balya (U.P.).
His father, Moulana Abdul Latif, was a humble, modest and a very pious Scholar of Islam.
EDUCATION AND TRAINING
HAZRAT ALLAMA MOULANA ARSHADUL QADRI REHMATULLAHI ALAY attained his basic and intermediate education under the supervision of his learned father, Allama Moulana Abdul Latif. Then, continuing these Islamic Studies, HAZRAT ALLAMA MOULANA ARSHADUL QADRI REHMATULLAHI ALAY came to AL-JAMIATUL ASHRAFIA(*), where he studied under the careful guidance and supervision of Huzoor Hafiz-e-Millat, Allama Shah Abdul Aziz Sahib Rehmatullahi Alay.
(*) = Huzoor Hafiz-e-Millat's endeavors and striving for the establishment of an Islamic University was so successful that in 1352 Hijri, a huge group of students enrolled, amongst them were Hazrat Sharih Bukhari, Allama Moulana Mufti Sharif-ul-Haq Rehmatullahi Alay (see "The Annotator of the Bukhari"), and also HAZRAT ALLAMA MOULANA ARSHADUL QADRI himself.
It was during the earlier stages of his childhood, when he was attaining Islamic Knowledge, that signs emerged of his intellectuality and his discernment: Huzoor Hafiz-e-Millat, Allama Shah Abdul Aziz Sahib Rehmatullahi Alay used to always remember Allama Arshad's educational childhood, with the following words: "Throughout the whole of my life, I have not yet met anyone so intellectual in understanding the SAHIH BUKHARI SHARIF, as Allama Arshadul Qadri."
In 1365 Hijri he graduated with the Honors, from this highly recognized University, AL-JAMIATUL ASHRAFIA.
After this he moved to Madrasa Islamia Shamsul Uloom, in Nagpur, where he taught the future Great Scholars of Islam, such as Allama Moulana Mufti Jalaluddin Ahmed Amjadi Rehmatullahi Alay.
In 1950, he came to Jamshaidpur to propagate Islam and for a continuous 5 years under the open sky, on the side of a bridge, he taught his students, and despite all these problems, he did not utter a word of complaint, but kept steadfast on teaching and propagating Islam. Until, after years of hard work, he established "Darul Uloom Faiz-ul-Uloom", on a land brought from the 'ta ta company' at that time. He did not stop at this, but, by his full commitment and his efforts, a technical institute department had also been set up, where students from Bengal, Bihar, and all other parts of India, arrived to gain Knowledge.
In 1972 he performed his 2nd Hajj, in which he established the "World Islamic Mission" or the 'Al-Da'wat-ul-Islamiyyat-ul-A'lamiyyah', and he was chosen to be the General Secretary of organization. The main markaz, or the Head office was situated in Bradford, England.
In 1954, he gained great victory over the famous deobandi debater, Molvi Abdul Latif Nu'mani, the Shiekh-ul-Hadith of "Miftahul Uloom" in Mau (U.P.). Hence, he was given the title "Fateh Jamshaidpur" or the 'Conqueror of Jamshaidpur".
Overall, HAZRAT ALLAMA MOULANA ARSHADUL QADRI was the Beacon of Light, which enlightened the numb and dull hearts of many and guided many to the straight path....May ALMIGHTY ALLAH JALLA JALALUHU reward him bountifully for his every effort.....Ameen
Although he (Rehmatullahi Alay) is not physically with us today, as we do not possess the strength in our eyes to see him, the lamp that he had lit still shines, and the fruits of the seeds that he had sown out of his sheer efforts, have finally emerged.
We finally humbly ask ALMIGHTY ALLAH JALLA JALALUHU that he sanctifies his soul, and place him in the highest of heavens, and may we gain the benefit of the vast ocean of knowledge that he left behind.
May ALMIGHTY ALLAH JALLA JALALUHU reward him bountifully for his every effort and may all his works be accepted all over the world...Ameen
NOW IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE CONTINUE ALLAMA SAHEB'S MISSION OF MASLAK-E-ALAHAZRAT REHMATULLAHI ALAY
ONE MAJOR PART OF THIS IS THE CONCENTRATION IN PUBLISHING OF LITERATURE BY SHAH AHMED RAZA REHMATULLAHI ALAY, I WAS AMAZED TO HEAR THAT PEOPLE HAVE OBTAINED COPIES OF ALAHAZRAT'S QALMI (WRITTEN MASTER COPIES) AND HAVE LOST THEM
THIS HAS BEEN OUR FAUUT THAT WE HAVE NOT ACTED IMMEDIATELY AS OVER 150 YEARS HAVE PASSED AND WE HAVE YET NOT BEEN ABLE TO PRINT HALF OF THE 1000 BOOKS WRITTEN BY ALAHAZRAT REHMATULLAHI ALAY...SHAME TO US ALL! ON THE OTHER HAND THE DEOBANDIES THE NAJDEES AND THE FIRQA-E-BATIL HAVE PUBLISHED MILLIONS OF BOOKS AND HAVE GOT THEIR BOOKS STORES ALL OVER ENGLAND WHERE THEY ORDER BOOKS FOR FREE FROM ARABIC AND OTHER COUNTRIES
MAY ALMIGHTY ALLAH GIVE US THE TAWFEEQ TO ACT UPON THIS AMEEN.
Please remember me in your duas Was salaam
Sharik-e-Gham, Mohammed (UK)

Waliyullahi 'Saiful Ilah' Zainudheen al Qadiri al Malibari-QS_By:Abu Hamid Al Malibari


Perumugham Usthad[qs] was born at Kizhiyeri House in Thenhipalam, Kozhikode(Malabar), Kerala, India in the month of Rajab, 1352.AH(1933 A.D(.Exact date not known).This great servant of Allah was born to Imbichali Mollah, son of Ahmed Kutty Mollah, son of Mangatt Ali Kutty Haji (Nawwarallahu Markada) and to the pious lady Beefathima as their 3rd out of 6 children.His was a pios Sunni Muslim family.His Grand father Ahmed Kutty Mollah was a Sheikh of Rifai'iyyah Sufi Order and was known for his miracles and whose wife Ayammah Umma too was a Qur'an Teacher and She died off while finishing the teaching of the last Juz'u of Qur'an by writing the verses on a flat board with chalk.(May Allah have His Mercy on them all).His great Grandfather Ali Kutty Haji was known for performing Hajj on foot in those difficult days. His mother Beefathima too was an Islamic teacher who used to teach the essentials to children.Al Usthad Zainudheen Musliyar was named as ‘Enikutty’ by his father and was subsequently known as ‘Zainudheen’. His initial studies were with his own Father Imbichi Molla and his elder brother Ahmed Kutty Molla. Thereafter he studied in different Dars establishments (learning centers attached to major mosques).Thus he was taught by M.Abdullah Kutty Musliyar,the grandson of Shujayi Moidu Musliyar) at Thenhipalam and Puthukkudi Alavi Musliyar at Thenhipalam andPukayoor. Then he became a student of the great Malibari scholar Paravanna Moideen Kutty Musliyar(Rah) at Islahul Ulum Arabic College,Tanur.Paranna usthad was successful in guiding him to oratory field in which he excelled his contemporaries later on. Zainudheen usthad’s thirst for more and more pure Sunni Islamic knowledge led him to seek other famous teachers and they included the another current great scholar P A Ahmed Kutty Musliyar(Rah) and later prominents such as Shamsul Ulama E.K.Abu Bakr Musliyar(Rah) and Thajul Ulama Assayed Abdu Rhiman al Bukhari(May Allah Preserve him), the latter two at Quwwathul Islam Dars (now Arabic College) at Taliparamba, Kannur. Even after this he did not rest but continued to study from Koyappa Kunhayin Musliyar near his home at Velimukk and then went to Ullal (Dakhin Karnataka) to complete his study from Syed Kunhi Seethi Koya Thangal.

His Shareekks(co-students:): The Great Islamic Scholars of Malabar as Qutubul Alam al arif bi’llah c.m.Muhammad Abu Bakr Musliyar Madvoor(QS) and the great orator and debater Shaykhu Shariah E.K.Hasan Musliyar(n.m) were his class mates. His full class mates include Sayed Jamalillai Thangal of Chelari, Sayed Cherukunhi Thangal of Kadalundi,Moulana Ali Kunhi Musliyar of Shiriya, Muhammad Musliyar of Perumugham and K.K.Muhammad Musliyar.
