According to the manuscript of Kaygawhar-nāmah, by Dūnīchand, held in St. Pancras, British Library, originally written in 1137 AH / 1724 CE, the earliest among my ancestors with the name Khan was Baj Khan or Bajlī Khan, who ascended to the rule of Potohar in 419 AH / 1028 CE
upon the passing of his father, Gakhar Shāh, who had gained control of the Potohar region and ruled over it for twenty eight years.

Regarding Baj/Bijlī Khan, it is mentioned:

After his passing away, Baj Khan became the ruler of the state in place of his respected father. ImageImage
Sultan Mahmūd Shāh [Ghaznī] favoured Baj Khan with a robe of honour. On every occasion that Sultan Mahmūd returned from Hindustan, the Hindu kings would usually rebel, however the Gakhars did not permit anyone to enter their land, with strength and bravery.

Imām Aĥmad and the man with the dream

It is recorded in Ţabaqāt al-Ĥanābilah:

“There was a man in the neighbourhood of Aĥmad ibn Ĥanbal, and he was from those who would engage in sin and filth. One day he came to the gathering of Aĥmad ibn Ĥanbal and greeted him. ImageImageImage
It was as if Aĥmad did not return to him a complete greeting and he shrunk away from him. He said to him:

‘O Abū Ábdullāh, do not shrink away from me, for indeed, I came regarding that which I vowed regarding a dream I saw.’

He asked:

‘And what did you see?’
He replied:

‘I saw Nabī ﷺ during my sleep, as if he was at a height above the earth, and many people were sitting beneath him. Then, a man stood up and went to him, he began to say, Pray for me, thus he prayed for him, until there was none left other than me.

Imām Nawawī on seeking intercession of RasūlAllāh ﷺ at his blessed grave

The famous scholar Imam Yaĥyā Ibn Sharaf al-Nawawī al-Shāfiýī [631-676 AH / 1233-1277 CE] encouraged visitors to seek intercession of RasūlAllāh ﷺ, something considered Shirk and Bidáh by Najdī Wahābīs.
He writes in Kitāb al-Majmūú:

Then he should return to his first standing place, facing the direction of RasūlAllāh ﷺ and make tawassul by him with regard to himself, and seek intercession by him to His Lord subhānahū wa táālā, and from the best of what he can say is what was
reported by Māwardī, Qādī Abū Tayyib, and all of our companions from Útbī, considering it good, he said:

“I was sitting near the grave of RasūlAllāh ﷺ, then came a bedouin, he said, ‘Peace be upon you Yā RasūlAllāh, I heard Allāh saying, “And if they, when they have wronged

Virginity of our Lady Maryam

“After the birth of our Master Jesus, the Word of Allāh [kalimatullāh], upon our Noble Prophet and upon him blessings and peace, too the Virgin [batūl], the Pure [tayyibah, tāhirah], our Lady Maryam was a virgin, a virgin she remained,
a virgin she shall be raised, and a virgin she shall enter Paradise until she shall be honoured with sacred marriage to the Illuminated Master of the Prophets, may the blessing and peace of Allāh be upon him and upon them all.
Her noble rank:

‘No man has touched me, nor I am an unchaste.’

It is apparent that it holds true even after childbirth, and this is the meaning of virginity.

There remains the matter of virginity with the meaning of the perishing of the membrane [i.e. hymen].

An Indian Fatwā on Freemasonry

A question was posed to Alahazrat Imām Aĥmad Riđā Khān al-Ĥanafī [1272–1340 AH / 1856–1921 CE] dated 26 Rabīý al-Ākhir Sharīf 1338 AH, which corresponds to 18 January 1920 CE.
The question was sent from Gondal, Kathiawar by one Qāđī Qāsim Miyāñ Sāhib and read as follows:

“What do the scholars of the dīn regarding this issue, that what is Freemasonry, and what is the ruling regarding those who enter it? Make clear and be rewarded.”
The reply to this by the Imām was:

“Freemasonry is magic [sihr], and to the extent I was able to find out, it has been formed in order to take away belief in the Prophets, upon them be blessings and peace, for this reason they only accept a Muslim or a person of the Book,

Ábd al-Qādir Kan and slavery

It is held by some that Ábd al-Qādir Kan al-Mālikī [1727-1806 CE], the first Almāmī of Futa Toro was an abolitionist who ended slavery wholly.

However, the reality is that he brought the practice of slavery in line with the laws of Sharīáh.
Here we see that:

1. Muslims could not be enslaved

2. Non-Muslim POWs and slaves may be sold

3. Futanke were now Muslim and so could not be enslaved

4. Futanke population still owned slaves
David Robinson, "The Islamic Revolution of Futa Toro", The International Journal of African Historical Studies, Vol. 8, No 2 (1975), p. 201

Thus, it was not slavery in of itself with the Almāmī was opposed to and banned, but rather the enslavement of Muslims,
