New Islaamic Year 1436 Mubaarak- Allamah Kaukab Noorani Okarvi- Muharram 2014
New Islaamic Year 1436 Mubaarak!
As Salaamu Alaiekum Wa Rahmatul Laahi Wa Barakaatuhu,
In the time of Hazrat Ameer ul Mumineen Hazrat ‘Umar (Farooq-e-A’zam) (Radiyal Laahu ‘Anhu) officially
established the Islaamic Hijri Calendar. It is a co-incidence that the
first date of Islaamic year (first Muharram) is attached with his
remembrance, the date of his martyrdom. His era after our Beloved Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) was the golden period of Islaamic history. He was the conqueror of forty four countries only within the span of ten years.

In
his period, once on the day of Hajj millions of people were performing
Hajj, and Hazrat ‘Umar was looking at them which made his eyes wet,
someone asked him, that at this time of happiness why are you crying, he
replied, I was so strong in my youth, my father had some camels and my
duty was to control them. Every evening when I used to tie one of them
the other would untie, at that time I was only ‘Umar bin Khattaab… and
I was a strong young man and could not handle a few camels… and today
the same ‘Umar bin Khattaab is controlling millions smoothly and
peacefully and this strength and unity came from becoming a true and
humble servant of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam).

On
another occasion his eyes became wet when after one holy war (of
Madain) lot of valuable stuff came to Madinah, according to today’s
value, that stuff was worth billions. People asked why there are tears
in your eyes? He replied that, these are tears of thankfulness to
Allaah Kareem, Why? Look at them, the people who brought the stuff which
is worth billions, their clothes are tattered. And they did not even
touch a single piece of anything. I am only crying to pay thanks to
Allaah Kareem that, with me there are such pious and God-fearing people…
all this is due to the attachment with the Beloved Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam).

Today, where have this unity and purity of the Muslims gone?
We all claim that we have the love of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam), then why we are not trying to unite and become pure?
May Allaah Kareem give us courage in 1436 Hijri to use all our efforts in order to regain our lost identity and values.
May Allaah Kareem in the Blessed Name of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) make this whole new year full of blessings, peace and happiness for all true believers!
Aameen!
