جناب مولانا انظر شاہ کشمیریؒ
افسوس کہ مولانا انظر شاہ کشمیری قریب بیاسی سال کی عمر میں ۲۶؍ اپریل ۲۰۰۸ء کو اس دنیائے فانی سے رخصت ہوگئے، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون، دارالمصنفین میں یہ خبر افسوس کے ساتھ سنی گئی اور یہ احساس عام رہا کہ ملت علوم اسلامیہ کے ایک نامور ترجمان اور دارالعلوم دیوبند کی عظمت کے نشان اور سلف صالحین کی روایتوں کے پاسبان سے محروم ہوگئی۔
وہ دین و دانش کی دنیا کے مہر انور، مولانا سید انور شاہ کشمیریؒ کے فرزند اصغر تھے، مولانا سید سلیمان ندوی نے شاہ کشمیریؒ کی وفات پر لکھا تھا کہ ’’چین سے لے کر روم تک ان کے فیضان کا سیلاب موجیں لیتا رہا‘‘ شاہ کشمیریؒ کے اوصاف میں کہا گیا کہ وہ معلومات کے دریا، حافظہ کے بادشاہ اور وسعت علمی کی نادر مثال تھے، الولد سرلابیہ اگر حق ہے تو مولانا انظر شاہ کشمیری کے بارے میں بھی ان ہی خوبیوں کا اعادہ کیا جاسکتا ہے، انہوں نے مولانا شبیر احمد عثمانی، مولانا حسین احمد مدنی، مولانا اعزاز علی اور مولانا ابراہیم بلیاوی جیسے ارباب علم و فضل سے اکتساب فیض کیا، خانہ انور اور دارالعلوم دیوبند کے خمیر سے جس شخصیت کی تشکیل کی توقع کی جاسکتی ہے وہ ان کی شکل میں پوری ہوئی، قریب نصف صدی تک حدیث شریف کے درس و تدریس کی مبارک خدمت ان کے نصیب میں آئی اور بڑی بات یہ ہے کہ قلم سے بھی ان کا رشتہ استوار رہا، ان کی کتابوں میں ’’فیض البخاری‘‘ اور ’’تراجم الابواب‘‘ کے نام ملتے ہیں، اس کے علاوہ ان کی قلمی میراث میں ’’تفسیر ابن کثیر، مدارک، جلالین‘‘ وغیرہ کے ترجمے بھی ہیں، ان کے ذہن و فکر اور مطالعہ کی وسعت اور تنوع کا اندازہ اسی سے کیا جاسکتا ہے کہ درس و تدریس، تصنیف و...
In every age, the state has been a better form of the congregation and an integral part of societies. There has never been a state in human history that has introduced so many social reforms in a short period of time as Madina State did in a short period of time. That is why the state of Madina will remain a role model for all states established until the Day of Judgment. History testifies that as long as Islamic states followed this role model, their contemporary states continued to envy on their social, economic and military position. But unfortunately, the decline of the Muslim Ummah reached the peak by the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the representative state of the Muslims, in the early twentieth century. But before the half-century was over, the Islamic world began to gain independence from colonial powers. By the end of the twentieth century, more than fifty Muslim countries appeared on the geography of the modern world, but their flags were the spokesmen for colors, ethnicity, language, and region except for Pakistan. Political freedom from ideological and intellectual freedom could not be transformed by the Islamic nation’s imperialist powers Rather, the political leadership continued to work on the agenda of the West, causing many social and economic problems for the present Islamic States. The prevailing conditions of the present Islamic countries require that their rulers should re-establish their policies by making Madina state as their role model. The following article presents a golden outline of the welfare state, which will help to make the current Islamic state a welfare state.
Ijtihad has played a vital role to bring compatibility between society and Islamic law, its expansion, development, and changing needs of society.This Principle has provided solution to various political, social, economical and other problems during the times of The Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and his Pious Caliphs. Significance of ljtihad cannot be denied. Change and evolution are the basic to human life and problems and solutions all come with it. The existence of nations lies in their response to the emerging problems while stagnancy brings an end to them. Islam doesn't keep narrow view regarding human life, rather removes obstacles in its way to development. The Quran says, this day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you and have chosen for you Islama as your religion.(5:3) ljtihad is the alternate method in case if no clear instructions and guidance are mentioned in basic sources of Shariah, Quran, and Sunnah, to find solutions to the problems. It keeps the stream of life flowing, repels stagnancy and provides other ways to maintain evolution i.e. Qiyaas, Istedlal and lstihsan etc. All these are the indirect offshoots of ljtihad. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) himself, many times practiced ljtihad regarding matters rising in newly establiShed Islamic State & the Ummah. Many of his decisions were ratified and corrected by revelation to him as well. This research - work has been focused on the decisions and Judgments delivered by the Holy Prophet (SAW) and his Pious Caliphs on the basis of ljtihad. Moreover, I have tried to deduce and infer the principles for an Up-dated ljthad which is need of the hour for the Muslim Ummah in Particular. The practice of ljtihad continued since time of Mohammad (SAW) till date. In contemporary times the shape is different but the spirit is same either by an individual or by institutions in 20th century. It proves the flexibility and compatibility of Islamic laws with ever-changing world. It is the sphere which proves Islam as a religion for every caste, creed, and nation and for all the times.
