آہ مفتی اعظم ہند!
[ مفتی محمد کفایت اﷲ دہلوی]
واحسرتا!۳۱/دسمبر۱۹۵۲ء کو شب کے ساڑھے دس بجے یعنی ٹھیک اس وقت جبکہ ایک سال شمسی اپنی حیات ِدوازدہ ماہ کی مقررہ مدت پوری کرکے ہمیشہ کے لیے گوشۂ عدم میں آسودۂ سکون ہوجانے کی تیاری کررہاتھا علم وعمل کے آسمان کاایک آفتاب عالم تاب غروب ہوگیا۔یعنی حضرتنا الاستاذ مولانا الحاج المفتی محمد کفایت اﷲ دہلوی نے اسّی (۸۰) سال کی لگ بھگ عمر میں داعی اجل کو لبیک کہہ کرجان جان آفریں کے سپرد کی!انا ﷲ واناالیہ راجعون۔
حضرت مفتی صاحب کا وجود گرامی اپنی چند درچند علمی وعملی خوبیوں اور گوناگوں دماغی واخلاقی کمالات کے باعث صرف ہندوستان اورپاکستان کانہیں بلکہ پورے عالم اسلام کاایک متاع گرانمایہ اورسرمایہ بلند پایہ تھا کہ آج اس کے اُٹھ جانے پرجتنا بھی ماتم اوراُس پر جتنا بھی افسوس کیاجائے کم ہے۔حضرت مولانا خودجلیل القدر بزرگ اوربزرگوں کی یادگار تھے، انہیں دیکھ کر اوراُن کی صحبت میں دوچار لمحے گزار کرسلف صالحین کی یادتازہ ہوتی تھی۔قدرت نے اُن میں دل اور دماغ دونوں کی خوبیاں اوران کے فضائل وکمالات کچھ اس طرح بیک وقت جمع کردیے تھے کہ اُن کی ہستی’’اے تومجموعۂ خوبی بچہ نامت خوانم‘‘کا مصداق بن گئی تھی۔ وہ ایک طرف بہت بڑے عالم،مفسر،محدث اورفقہیہ تھے تو دوسری جانب علوم عربیہ کے جامع تھے اور ان میں بہت ٹھوس استعداد رکھتے تھے۔ پھر معاملات میں سوجھ بوجھ اورسیاسی ودنیوی امور ومسائل میں ان کی فرزانگی ودانشمندی کایہ عالم تھا کہ جس طرح علما کی بزم کے وہ صدرنشیں تھے اسی طرح ارباب سیاست وتدبیر کی محفل میں بھی اپنامقام خاص رکھتے تھے ’’جوبات کہتے تھے‘‘اورجو لفظ اُن کے قلم سے نکلتا تھاوہ اس قدرجچا تلااور نپانپایا ہوتا تھا کہ کسی بڑے سے بڑے نکتہ چیں کے لیے بھی اُس پر حرف گیری آسان نہ تھی۔ یوں تو اﷲ...
