thread 1/n
many ulama have composed tazmeen تضمين of alahazrat's salam. one of the best known tazmeen is that of allamah sayyid marghoob akhtar al-hamidi.
rendered here in full:
2/n
for those who do not know what tazmeen is: it is the practise of adding one's own lines to someone else's poem. usually, it is to a famous poem or a line. if the original poem is a couplet, they usually add 3-lines and make it a 5-line stanza called "takhmees" التخميس
3/n
this practise comes from arabic poetry and one of my favourite tazmeen is that of sayyidi ibn ata'illah al-sakandari, who appended to a short poem by shaykh al-akbar muhiyuddin ibn arabi. and then wrote a commentary to the poem.
4/n this poem is 'aadab al-tariq' by ibn arabi on the manners of the path of tasawwuf; takhmees by sayyidi ibn ata'illah and the name of the commentary is "unwan al-tawfiq fi aadab al-tariq"
5/n ===
alahazrat's famous salam: mustafa jaan e rahmat pe lakhon salam has received many *tazmeen*s and these have also been published. i happened to collect some of them and i thought of sharing them as the urs of alahazrat is near.
=====
6/n --- 1. sayyid marghoob akhtar al-hamidi.
7/n --------------------- 2. qari muhammad amanat rasul.
this has recommendations by ulama such as sayyid aal e rasul nazmi miyan, who wrote a versified attestation.
8/n --------------------- 3. muhammad abdu'l qayyum "tariq" sultanpuri has written THREE tazmeens!
the first is titled "baran e rahmat"
9/n --------------------- 4. his second tazmeen: "burhan e rahmat"
(abdu'l qayyum tariq sultanpuri)
10/n --------------------- 5. his third tazmeen: "bustan e rahmat"
(poet: abdu'l qayyum tariq sultanpuri)
however, unlike the earlier two which are full tazmeens, this one omits some lines out of 171 lines of the original salam.
11/n --------------------- 6. bashir husayn nazim qadri titled: "khwan e rahmat"
prof. sayyid masud ahmad wrote a foreword to this.
12/n --------------------
in the foreword of the above work (khwan e rahmat) prof. masud mentions another tazmeen: "there are two tazmeens in front of me..." and compares them. the first is that of bashir qadri and other he mentions is:
tazmeen# 7. sabiru'l qadiri
13/n --------------------
prof. hafeez ta'ib in the second foreword of the same book, khwan e rahmat, mentions as many as 5 other poets and samples of their tazmeen to the salam. i do not know whether these tazmeens were partial or full.
14/n -------------------------
regardless, we will count them as tazmeens that existed. (will have to hunt for them)
#8. shams barelwi
#9. aslam bastawi
#10. raja rashid mahmoud
#11. abdu's salam shafiq
#12. habib muhammad muhsin maz'hari
15/n --------------------
(cont' from previous tweet) so the #12 tazmeen is by habib muhsin maz'hari, sample in this tweet
16/n ----------
#13. dr. sayyid hilal ja'afari's tazmeen titled: "jaan e rahmat"
sayyid ahmad kazmi shah sahib wrote a recommendation to this tazmeen in 1966.
17/n --------------------
here is the taqriz or the recommendation of kazmi shah sahib rahmatullahi alayh:
18/n --------------------
it is pertinent to note that sayyid hilal ja'afari sahib also wrote a tazmeen on alahazrat's qasidah miyrajiyyah.
19/n --------------------
another recommendation to hilal ja'afari sahib's tazmeen is that of aziz hasilpuri, a poet and who has written a partial tazmeen himself:
#14. aziz hasilpuri "tazmeen e mubeen" (partial)
20/n --------------------
#15 is tazmeen of hafiz abdu'l ghaffar
21/n --------------------
#16. tazmeen of sayyid habib ahmad shah which is a partial tazmeen
22/n --------------------
#17 is partial tazmeen by hasanayn miyan in his collection of tazmeens.
23/n --------------------
#18. "tazmeen e gauhar" by mahbub gauhar islampuri; also a partial tazmeen
24/n --------------------
#19. tazmeen by muhammad usman awj a'azami.
has a foreword by mufti muhammad ahmad misbahi.
25/n --------------------
#20. tazmeen by pir naseeruddin naseer golrawi (grandson of the great sunni imam and mujaddid sayyid mihr ali shah golrawi, who emphatically believed in the superiority of abu bakr al-siddiq radiAllahu anhu)
pir nasir's poetry is rich no doubt.
26/n -----
in a compilation of tazameen, shahzad ahmad has collected samples from 10 tazmeen. all others were mentioned above. one name is new in this collection.
#21 sufi masuud ahmad rahbar mahbubi chishti kashmiri
27/27
----
disclaimer: other than the tazmeen of sayyid akhtar al hamidi i haven't read all others with a critical eye. so if there are any issues with some lines, do not take my mention as an endorsement. i have seen a critique of tazmeens and a counter-critique. be warned.

77 Branches of Faith
---
Imam Bayhaqi compiled 10,756 hadith which mention something as a "branch of faith" in his "Shu'ab al-Iyman" published in 14 volumes.
Imam Qazwini abridged it in his mukhtasar.
This thread is based on Qazwini's "Branches of Faith"
RasūlAllāh ﷺ said: “Faith is sixty plus branches. Modesty (ĥayā’a) is also a branch of faith.” [Bukhārī, #9; Muslim, #57]
RasūlAllāh ﷺsaid: “Faith is seventy plus branches – or sixty plus branches – the most superior is the saying [i.e. with faith]: “There is no God but Allāh” and the lowest is to remove harm from the road; bashfulness (ĥayā’a) is also a branch of faith.” [Muslim, #58]
the accusation of imam ahmad rida khan (iARK) being a shia/ or closet shia was thrown about by faithless and unscrupulous wahabis - devbandis. ihsan ilahi zaheer (may Allah give him just recompense) was foremost in spewing this lie. other deobandis are not far behind.
alahazrat (iARK) wrote nearly a 1000 books of which 679 are identified. nearly 250 of these books are published and available. and his fatawa is published in 30 volumes (including rasayil). all of these published works are available here: ridawi.org/alahazrat-book…
no one can show a single fatwa or a statement that supports shiah or rawafid. of course, faithless scum insinuate by saying "oh that word is a hint, this line is hidden sign.."
sub'HanAllah! do they not fear judgement day?
one of the major reasons muslims have become worthless in our time, in spite of being in large numbers, is because of the successful attack on our religion by the wahabi cult and its offshoots in devbandi, maududi, etc formats
1/n
2/n ...these cults heavily discounted the role of the Messenger of Allah sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam. where the sahaba emphasised on mentioning and following the prophet sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam at every opportunity, these heretical cults said: "he is a man like you"
3/n
and they quoted: "tell them, indeed i am but a human like you" for their nefarious purpose. the ignoramuses didn't realise that the verse was addressed to the mushrikin. if you tell any of these maulvis and tell them: your papa is like abu jahl; your sheikh is like abu lahab
many so-called libs and closet-s@ngh1s (indian n@zis) have been saying that hijab is 'regressive'. how exactly is hijab regressive?
why is the sari, which h1nd00 women wear not regressive? can any of these indian jahiliyyah give a blow-by-blow account of hijab vs. miniskirt and hijab vs. sari and objectively show HOW hijab is regressive? especially when a woman chooses to don it herself?
humans worshipping stones and pouring milk in rivers and drinking an animal's urine is regressive.
it is amusing to see h1nd00 fascists braying about how muslim women are oppressed, yet the highest female foeticide in the world is witnessed in india. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20879612/
Two important questions: 1. Which is the most superior day in the entire year?
2. Should you fast on the Day of Árafah or on the 9th of Dhi’l Ĥijjah (which can vary according to local sighting)?
Some people say, that since we commence Takbīr of Tashrīq from the 9th Dhu’l Ĥijjah, we must also fast on the 9th of Dhu’l Ĥijjah, according to local sighting and not on the Day of Árafah, (9th in the Ĥijāz; 8th in Indo-Pak).
This year, in 2018 (1439AH) the dates are as follows:
In Makkah, Árafah and rest of Arab countries: 9th Dhu’l Ĥijjah is Monday, the 20th of August. (Day of Árafah).
In India and Pakistan, 9th Dhu’l Ĥijjah is Tuesday, the 21st of August.
22nd Shábān, 773 AH.
27th of February 1372 CE.
647 years ago, a boy was born who would be later known as:
Shaykh Al-Islām, Qāđī al-Quđāt, Amīr al-Mu’minīn fi’l Ĥadīth, Khātimatu’l Huffāż, Shihābuddīn Abu’l Fađl Aĥmad ibn Álī ibn Muĥammad ibn Ĥajar al-Ásqalānī, al-Shāfiýī.
Imām Sakhāwī (d.902 AH) in the biography of his shaykh.
Al-Jawāhir wa’l Durar fi Tarjamati Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Ĥajar
His father Shaykh Nūruddīn Álī was also a scholar, and attended the classes of Abu’l Fat’ĥ Ibn Sayyid al-Nās and others. He was known to be very intelligent and religious, for his praiseworthy character and he loved the company of pious people.
