You have noticed the blessing of the holyhands of the Holy Prophet ٖ ! Let me tell youeight more miracles of the blessed hands of the NobleProphet ٖ :1. During a Ghazwaĥ 1 , an arrow hit an eye of SayyidunāQatādaĥ , a beloved companion, whichresulted in the eye coming out of its socket. The Healerof all Healers, the Beloved and Blessed Prophet ٖ took the eye in his blessed hand andplaced it into its socket. He ٖ then madeDu’ā, joining the eye to its socket perfectly and makingits vision better than even the other one.1The war in which our Beloved and Blessed Prophet ٖ participated himself is called a Ghazwaĥ.5

Luminous Face2. Once a Qāfilaĥ entered the blessed court of the BelovedProphet ٖ . One of the travellers of theQāfilaĥ was ill and used to have fits. Tapping hisblessed hand on the back of the patient, the Prophetof Raḥmaĥ ٖ said (whilst addressing the‘evil’ present inside the body of the patient), ‘Get out!O the enemy of Allah.’ Then the Noble Prophet ٖ stroked the face of the patient. By theblessings of this, the patient recovered and became sohealthy and handsome that no one else in the Qāfilaĥwas better than him.3. Once the Beloved and Blessed Prophet ٖ stroked the broken shin of a companion Sayyidunā‘Abdullāĥ Bin ‘Atīk , the broken shin healedand it seemed as if nothing had ever happened to it.4.

Havingsearched in vain, the grandfather came back to MakkaĥMukarramaĥ and then prayed tearfully clinging to thecurtains of the Ka’baĥ for the Beloved and Blessed Prophet ٖ to be found.Meanwhile, Abū Jaĥl, an infamous unbeliever, who wasreturning on a she-camel from the herd of his goats sawthe Beloved Prophet ٖ . Sitting his camel, hesat the Noble Prophet ٖ behind him andtried to make it get up but it did not. When he sat the HolyProphet ٖ in front of him, the camel stoodup. It is as if the camel said to Abū Jaĥl: O foolish person!He ٖ is the Imām. How can he be behind aMuqtadī!Sayyidunā ‘Abdullāĥ Ibn ‘Abbās hasfurther said, ‘As Allah Almighty made SayyidunāMūsā Kalīmullāĥ meet his motherthrough pharaoh, He made the Beloved and BlessedProphet ٖ meet his grandfather throughAbū Jaĥl.

َۡMadanī pearls from the true storyLuminous FaceDear children! Have you seen the omnipotence (i.e. power)of Allah Almighty ! Through Abū Jaĥl, Allah Almighty made his Beloved Prophet ٖ meet hisgrandfather. Certainly, Allah does whatever He wants. It has also become evident that even animals realizereverence for the Holy Prophet ٖ but to hellwith those unwise and unable human beings who do notrealize it.A perfect Walī and a true devotee of Rasūl, A’lā ḤaḍratMaulānā Shāĥ Imām Aḥmad Razā Khān has stated on page 112 of his Na’at collection ‘Ḥadāiq-e-Bakhshish’:Apnay Maulā kī ĥay bas shān ‘aẓīm jānwar bĥī karayn jin kī ta’ẓīmSang kartay ĥayn adab say taslīm payř sajday mayn girā kartay ĥaynExplanation of Kalām-e-RazaSee the glory of the Beloved Prophet ٖ !Animals revere him; stones salute him with immenserespect and trees bow down in Sajdaĥ in front of him.‏َّدُ ‏َمَ ٰ حم‏َا ٰتَعَ َ احلۡ‏‏ُّو ۡ ا صَ‏ لبِيبص َ يلَّ‏ ا‏ّٰ‏ ُ9

The Beloved Prophet hit the ground with hisheel and spring water gushed outAbū Ṭālib who was the uncle of the Holy Prophet ٖ has said, ‘I was once present with mynephew at a place called ‘Żul-Majāz’. Suddenly I wasthirsty. I told Muhammad Mustafa ( ٖ ),‘O my nephew! I am thirsty.’ I had informed him of it inorder not to ask him for water because he had no waterbut to share my problem. Abū Ṭālib has further said, ‘Ashe ٖ listened to me, he immediately got offhis horse and said, ‘O uncle! Are you thirsty?’ I said, ‘Yes’.Listening to this, Sayyidunā Muhammad ٖ hit the ground with his blessed heel, and water gushedout. He ٖ then said to me, ‘O uncle! Drinkwater.’ So I drank the water.

I was video game addict11Luminous FaceAn Islamic brother from Shakargarh district Narowal,Punjab, (Pakistan) has stated: In my childhood, I used towaste plenty of time playing video games. I did not use tooffer Ṣalāĥ regularly. Fortune smiled on me when my fatherhad me admitted to a Madrasa-tul-Madīnaĥ. I firstfinished the Nāẓiraĥ of the Holy Quran and then becameḤāfiẓ. In addition, I learned good manners. By theblessing of the Madrasa-tul-Madīnaĥ of Dawat-e-Islami, Ihave started offering the five-daily Ṣalāĥ regularly andwearing the Madanī dress. The one who used to miss allṢalāĥ is enjoying today even Nafl Ṣalāĥ such as Taĥajjud,Ishrāq and Chāsht.After I received the blessing of Dawat-e-Islami, I triedindividually upon the father of a child so that he couldalso get admitted his son to the Madrasa-tul-Madīnaĥ. Atfirst he refused but when I gave him my own example asto how I have started offering Ṣalāĥ regularly and wearingMadanī dress by the blessings of Dawat-e-Islami, whereasI used to miss Ṣalāĥ and wander pointlessly bareheadedin past, so he was inspired and had his son admitted tothe Madrasa-tul-Madīnaĥ where his son completed theNāẓiraĥ of the Holy Quran and is now becoming Ḥāfiẓ.

Luminous Face , By the time of the writing of this account, I amalso a student of Dars-e-Niẓāmī at a Jāmi’a-tul-Madīnaĥ.Allah karam aysā karay tujĥ pay jaĥān maynAy Dawat-e-Islami tayrī dĥūm machī ĥoMay Allah bless Dawat-e-Islami with such graceThat it becomes glorious at each and every place!Video gameDear children! You must have noticed that the child whowas a video game addict started offering Ṣalāĥ and becamea righteous and pious child by the blessings of the Madanīenvironment of a Madrasa-tul-Madīnaĥ of Dawat-e-Islami.You should also associate yourself with the Madanīenvironment of Dawat-e-Islami forever. Allah forbidif you are in the habit of playing video games, try yourlevel best to give it up.Loss of religion and faith through video gamesVery few children are aware of the fact that the enemiesof Islam are producing games in order to ruin the newgeneration of Islam. These games are aimed at takingMuslim children away from Islamic teachings even causinghatred in their hearts against Islam. For instance, some of12

Luminous Facethe characters of the game are shown killing thosecharacters dressed in Islamic clothing with beards, capsor turbans. Sometimes, Islamic characters are shown asterrorists, and the video game-playing person sees allthese scenes on the screen. Will these games increase ordecrease love for Islam in the heart of the video gameplayingperson? The answer of this can better be obtainedfrom one’s own conscience.Diseases caused by video gamesThe video game-playing person can suffer from eyesightweakness,cramp in muscles and headache.Terrible disasters of video gamesDue to repeatedly watching the immodestly-dressedcharacters of the video games, the cleanness of children’smind drowns into the dirty mire of shamelessness, causingthem to become addicts of unlawful gazing. Furthermore,drug dealers also have an easy access to video game clubsand many children and boys become their victims. Someare trapped so badly that they are unable to get rid of themthroughout their life. At such places, ‘dirty things’ aredone to the children. Those who go there secretly withoutinforming their family members particularly become the13

Luminous Facevictims of dirty-minded people. As a result of playing thegames full of fighting, killing and violence, children eitherlose or lack kindheartedness, tolerance and forgiveness.Influenced by watching these character-spoiling games,sometimes immature teenagers get involved in the crimesof theft, plundering, dirty things and even murder.Video games teach bloodshedVideo games often contain scenes of brutality and cruelty.In some games, some of the characters are shown kneelingbefore ‘the hero’ and begging him for mercy in an imploringmanner but he shoots them down mercilessly. In order toreach the final round, the playing person shoots everyone.There is blood everywhere and the playing one keepsenjoying all such things. In some games, the hero drivinga car runs over people. In some games, extremely terribleand horrible scenes like slaughtering humans and cuttingtheir heads off are shown. In some games, the scenes ofhouses and bridges being blown up by bombs are shown.Are all these things not harmful to the delicate and sensitiveminds of children? Of course, it will not be pointless tosay that the rapidly growing crimes in society have a verycloser link with video games.14

Luminous FaceAcknowledgment from AmericansAccording to a research carried out in America, 80% peoplelike playing games containing scenes of actions, fightingand violence. An American psychologist has said, ‘Weconsider computer games only a pastime but unfortunatelythey are taking our society to a wrong direction. We areteaching our children all those things through computergames which can be learned much later on through anyother means. Children not only become aware and familiarwith different types of modern weapons but they also learnhow to shoot humans and animals.’Fourteen admonitory incidents of curse ofvideo games(The names of people and video games are omitted.)1.
