जालना: दारुल उलूम रजविया लतीफिया मिसबाहुल उलूम में शनिवार को उर्स आला हजरत बड़ी धूमधाम और एहतेमाम के साथ मनाया गया. यह आयोजन सुबह 11 बजे से दोपहर 1 बजे तक चला, जिसमें मदरसे के बच्चों ने बढ़-चढ़कर हिस्सा लिया. बच्चों ने न सिर्फ नात और मनकबत पढ़े, बल्कि अपने तालीमी मुज़ाहिरे से सभी को प्रभावित किया. उनकी प्रस्तुतियों में आला हज़रत की शिक्षाओं और उनके जीवन के विभिन्न पहलुओं को बखूबी दर्शाया गया.

शराफत राजा ने अपने मनक़बत के माध्यम से आला हजरत की शान में कसीदे पढ़े और उनके जीवन के महत्वपूर्ण पहलुओं को उजागर किया. दारुल उलूम के मोहतमिम और नाजिम मौलाना गुलाम जिलानी मिस्बाही ने अपने खिताब में आला हजरत इमाम अहमद रज़ा खान की शख्सियत और उनके योगदान पर विस्तार से प्रकाश डाला. उन्होंने बताया कि आला हजरत न सिर्फ एक महान इस्लामी विद्वान थे, बल्कि एक न्यायविद, धर्मशास्त्र, सूफी, कवि और समाज सुधारक भी थे. उनके द्वारा रचित “फ़तावा रज़विया” जैसी किताबें आज भी इस्लामी जगत में एक महत्वपूर्ण संदर्भ ग्रंथ मानी जाती हैं. उन्होंने हनफ़ी फ़िक्ह के सिद्धांतों को सरल और सुबोध बनाने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई, साथ ही सूफीवाद के प्रचार-प्रसार में भी उनका योगदान अतुलनीय है.

मौलाना ने आला हजरत की तालीमात पर चलने और उनके बताए मार्ग पर अडिग रहने का आह्वान किया. उन्होंने कहा कि आला हजरत ने हमेशा समाज में व्याप्त कुरीतियों और अंधविश्वास के खिलाफ आवाज उठाई और इस्लाम की वास्तविक शिक्षाओं के प्रचार-प्रसार के लिए अथक प्रयास किए.उन्होंने शिक्षा के महत्व पर बल दिया और कई मदरसों और शैक्षणिक संस्थानों की स्थापना में योगदान दिया.

इस समय मुफ्ती गुलाम नबी ने आला हजरत की तालिमात पर बेहतरीन बयान करते हुए मसलक ए आला हजरत पर सख्ती के साथ कायम रहने की हिदायत की.

Urs-e-Ala Hazrat celebrated with great enthusiasm, children present impressive performances

Jalna: Urs-e-Ala Hazrat was celebrated with great enthusiasm and arrangements at Darul Uloom Razvia Latifiya Misbahul Uloom on Saturday. The event, which ran from 11 am to 1 pm, saw active participation from the madrasa’s children. The children not only recited naats and manqabats but also impressed everyone with their educational demonstrations. Their presentations beautifully depicted the teachings of Ala Hazrat and various aspects of his life.

Sharafat Raja, through his manqabat, recited praises in honor of Ala Hazrat and highlighted important aspects of his life.

Maulana Ghulam Jilani Misbahi, the Mohtamim and Nazim of Darul Uloom, in his address, shed light on the personality and contributions of Ala Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan. He explained that Ala Hazrat was not only a great Islamic scholar but also a jurist, theologian, Sufi, poet, and social reformer. Books authored by him, such as “Fatawa Razvia,” are still considered important reference texts in the Islamic world. He played a crucial role in simplifying the principles of Hanafi jurisprudence and made invaluable contributions to the propagation of Sufism.

Maulana urged everyone to follow the teachings of Ala Hazrat and remain steadfast on the path shown by him. He said that Ala Hazrat always raised his voice against the evils and superstitions prevalent in society and made tireless efforts to spread the true teachings of Islam. He emphasized the importance of education and contributed to the establishment of many madrasas and educational institutions.

At this time, Mufti Ghulam Nabi, while giving an excellent statement on the teachings of Ala Hazrat, was strictly instructed to remain firm on the Maslak-e-Ala Hazrat.

The program concluded with Fatiha recitation, dua, and distribution of tabarruk. All the teachers of Darul Uloom, Hafiz Mohammad Rizwan, Hafiz Fayyaz Alam, Maulana Ziaur Rahman, Syed Nadeem, Chand Bhai, and Hafiz Tasavvur Hussain, along with many dignitaries, were present on this auspicious occasion. This event refreshed the memories of Ala Hazrat and inspired everyone to follow the path shown by him.

    There are scholars who interpret the world, scholars who flatter it, and scholars who quietly make it less cruel. John L. Esposito belonged emphatically to the third category. His passing deprives us not merely of a distinguished academic, but of something now far rarer: a genuine public intellectual — one who understood that scholarship is not an ornamental profession but a moral vocation. Esposito may well have been the last great public intellectual in the field now called Islamophobia studies, although he used the term less frequently than many who later made an industry of it.
