Rasuah lebih RM13 juta: SPRM reman Sobri Osman CEO MBI Kedah, Datuk Liana Khalid Pengarah Jangka Bakat Minerals

Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) menahan reman Haji Muhammad Sobri Osman ketua pegawai eksekutif (CEO) Perbadanan Menteri Besar (MBI) dan Pengarah Syarikat Jangka Bakat Minerals Sdn Bhd Datuk Liana Binti Mamat @ Khalid bagi siasatan berhubung rasuah dan salah guna kuasa dalam sektor perlombongan melibatkan jumlah rasuah melebihi RM13 juta.

Perintah reman selama tiga hari bermula 19 Julai sehingga 21 Julai 2023 terhadap kedua-dua suspek masing-masing dikeluarkan oleh Majistret Wan Shahida Abd Rahim di Mahkamah Majistret Alor Setar dan Majistret Norsyakirah Che Hashim di Mahkamah Majistret Shah Alam selepas permohonan reman dibuat SPRM.

Kedua-dua suspek yang masing-masing berusia 63 dan 40 tahun itu ditahan sekitar lewat petang Selasa di Alor Setar dan Kuala Lumpur.

Tambah sumber, aktiviti perlombongan dijalankan secara haram oleh sebuah syarikat yang mendapat perlindungan pihak berkuasa tertentu sejak tahun 2020.

Hasil siasatan SPRM yang dijalankan mendapati beberapa pembayaran disyaki sogokan berjumlah lebih RM13 juta diberikan syarikat terlibat bagi melindungi kegiatan perlombongan haram ini dalam tahun 2020 hingga 2023

Syarikat Jangka Bakat Mineral Sdn Bhd milik Datuk Liana Khalid yang ditahan reman itu dipercayai mendapat kelulusan untuk menjalankan projek pembangunan ladang hutan pokok getah klon balak (TLC) di dua kompartmen di Kedah dalam tahun 2016.

Projek tersebut bertujuan untuk menanam semula pokok-pokok getah klon balak di kawasan pembalakan yang terlibat.

Pada tahun 2020, syarikat yang sama telah mengemukakan permohonan kepada Kerajaan Negeri Kedah bagi menjalankan aktiviti perlombongan unsur nadir bumi (REE) dalam kompartmen yang sama.

Namun, setakat ini tiada kelulusan diberikan oleh Kerajaan Negeri berhubung permohonan syarikat tersebut bagi menjalankan aktiviti perlombongan itu.

Four arrested for Greater Kailash I businessman killing - Journal Global Web https://www.merchant-business.com/four-arrested-for-greater-kailash-i-businessman-killing/?feed_id=199754&_unique_id=66e62394ecadd NEW DELHI: Shooters from Uttar Prad... BLOGGER - #GLOBAL NEW DELHI: Shooters from Uttar Pradesh’s Azamgarh and the Trans-Yamuna region allegedly bumped off Dubai-based entrepreneurNadir Shah in south Delhi’sGreater Kailash I on Thursday night, a probe has revealed. Delhi Police‘s Special Cell has managed to detain around seven suspects – four of whom have been placed under arrest – for the brazen killing that TOI reported on Friday.Two of the main shooters, captured on CCTV, have been identified as Madhur and Raju but are on the run.As of now,gangsters LawrenceBishnoi, Rohit Godara and Hashim Baba are being considered the masterminds of the shootout. While several motives are being floated, investigators believe it was a ‘symbolic killing’ aimed at sending a strong signal to big businessmen in both Dubai and India.There were several reasons why Shah was a target. He was a friend of south Delhi gangster Rohit Chaudhary and another entity codenamed K. “This irked Bishnoi, who was apparently informed that Shah had a multi-crore rupee transaction with K,” said a source. “The Bishnoi group was also being tipped on how Shah used his contacts to target Baba’s men. So, they decided to send a message.”A land shark, codenamed AJ, from south Delhi but now settled in Dubai and another criminal from northeast Delhi named Sabir are also under the scanner for involvement in the conspiracy.The Azamgarh module – comprising Akash, Prince and Vishal – arrived in the city on Thursday and stayed in Jamia Nagar. Baba’s men allegedly provided them logistical support and weapons. Some other men like Naveen from Sonipat also joined them. They reached the gym in GKI in an autorickshaw and a two-wheeler. They zeroed in on the target who was standing outside the gym, and Madhur pulled the trigger around 10.45pm, said a police officer. The assailants fired 15 rounds, nine of which hit Shah. They then fled, some going to Seelampur and the others elsewhere. Akash, Prince, Vishal and Naveen were arrested with a copy of a US-made Ruger pistol and dozens of bullets early on Friday.Around midnight, a Facebook account in the name of Rohit Godara claimed responsibility for the murder. “Our brother Samir Baba, lodged in Tihar Jail, had sent a message that Nadir was creating obstacles in our business and was friends with our enemies, so we got him killed. Whoever helps our enemies will meet the same fate,” the post from a day-old account stated. Godara is the man Friday of Bishnoi and Goldy Brar and has been behind many killings across the country, including that of Karni Sena chief Sukhdev Gogamedi. The post is cryptic, an investigator said, because it doesn’t mention Bishnoi, which is usually the case after such killings but mentions instead the names of associates like Gogi Maan and Kala Rana. Godara likely funded the shooters, the cops say.Sources said that the killing has a strong connection with the Trans-Yamuna region and the Baba, the area’s most dreaded gangster, has emerged as a key character in the plot. His rivalry with incarcerated south Delhi gangster Rohit Chaudhary is being probed. “Baba was irked as Shah and Chaudhary were not letting his men operate in south Delhi areas like Aya Nagar, etc., using their contacts. Nadir was also an informer for some cops and used the connection to tip off police about the Baba gang’s activities,” said a source. Samir, mentioned in the Facebook post, is also a gangster who operates in northeast Delhi on Baba’s instructions but is currently in jail after the Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital shooting in July.Baba’s alliance with Bishnoi has been in police knowledge for over three years. “Bishnoi had initially tasked Baba to assassinate Siddhu Moose Wala. Baba’s aide, Shahrukh, had conducted a reconnaissance of the slain singer’s movements.

Shahrukh even reached Mansa in Punjab with weapons, but was unable to carry out the killing,” informed a source. Baba, who is in Mandoli jail and faces charges under MCOCA, has over two dozen cases registered against him, including for murder, extortion, attempted murder and violation of the Arms Act.“India News: NEW DELHI: Shooters from Uttar Pradesh’s Azamgarh and the Trans-Yamuna region allegedly bumped off Dubai-based entrepreneur Nadir Shah in south Delhi’.”Source Link: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/four-arrested-for-greater-kailash-i-businessman-killing/articleshow/113335612.cms http://109.70.148.72/~merchant29/6network/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/gc98fae1761b384a76718601bf04318386b87be9d74756e1113b294e4bdec5f82a07e8756d7df978d782e467ff9bf4a0eb45.jpeg #GLOBAL - BLOGGER NEW DELHI: Shooters from Uttar Pradesh’s Azamgarh and the Trans-Yamuna region allegedly bumped off Dubai-based entrepreneur Nadir Shah in south Delhi’s Greater Kailash I on Thursday night, a probe has revealed.

Tipu projek perumahan: SPNB Aspirasi saman Azizi bekas CEO, pemaju dikaitkan anak Tun Daim dan Dato’ Sri Sunny Ung

SPNB memfailkan satu lagi saman yang mendakwa penipuan terhadap bekas CEO, termasuk pemaju yang dikaitkan dengan anak Daim

SPNB Aspirasi Sdn Bhd, anak Syarikat Perumahan Negara Berhad (SPNB) memfailkan satu lagi saman mendakwa penipuan terhadap bekas CEO dan pengarah eksekutif SPNB Datuk Ahmad Azizi Ali melibatkan projek perumahan Pangsapuri di Hulu Langat, Selangor.

Turut dinamakan sebagai defendan dalam saman itu ialah lima yang lain termasuk Wiradani Development Sdn Bhd pemaju hartanah yang dikaitkan dengan anak bekas menteri kewangan Tun Daim Zainuddin.

SPNB Aspirasi mendakwa bekas CEO Azizi bersama Wiradani Development dan tiga pengarahnya, serta Akitek Akiprima Sdn Bhd telah berkomplot antara 2014 dan 2019 untuk menipu syarikat itu berhubung projek Hulu Langat yang menyebabkan SPNB Aspirasi memeterai perjanjian tambahan berat sebelah yang memihak kepada pemaju.

Tiga pengarah Wiradani yang dinamakan dalam saman itu difailkan oleh firma guaman Rajesh, Chew & Ho di Mahkamah Tinggi Shah Alam ialah Dato’ Sri Ung Eng Huat (Sunny), Datuk Cheah Kah Lip, Datuk Leong Yeng Kit. Cheah juga merupakan pengarah di Akitek Akiprima yang dilantik oleh Wiradani untuk menjadi arkitek projek itu.

Datuk Leong Yeng Kit pula merupakan Managing Director of WiraDani Development Sdn. Bhd selain seorang peguam di firma Leong Yeng Kit & Co. Beliau juga merupakan bekas Pengarah Bebas bukan eksekutif Meridien Berhad.

Turut dinamakan sebagai defendan dalam saman itu ialah lima yang lain termasuk Wiradani Development Sdn Bhd pemaju hartanah yang dikaitkan dengan anak bekas menteri kewangan Tun Daim Zainuddin. 

SPNB Aspirasi mendakwa bekas CEO Azizi bersama Wiradani Development dan tiga pengarahnya, serta Akitek Akiprima Sdn Bhd telah berkomplot antara 2014 dan 2019 untuk menipu syarikat itu berhubung projek Hulu Langat yang menyebabkan SPNB Aspirasi memeterai perjanjian tambahan berat sebelah yang memihak kepada pemaju.

Tiga pengarah Wiradani yang dinamakan dalam saman itu difailkan oleh firma guaman Rajesh, Chew & Ho di Mahkamah Tinggi Shah Alam ialah Dato’ Sri Ung Eng Huat (Sunny), Datuk Cheah Kah Lip, Datuk Leong Yeng Kit. Cheah juga merupakan pengarah di Akitek Akiprima yang dilantik oleh Wiradani untuk menjadi arkitek projek itu.

Datuk Leong Yeng Kit pula merupakan Managing Director of WiraDani Development Sdn. Bhd selain seorang peguam di firma Leong Yeng Kit & Co. Beliau juga merupakan bekas Pengarah Bebas bukan eksekutif Meridien Berhad.

Semakan dengan Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia menunjukkan bahawa Wiradani adalah 66% dimiliki oleh Ferntreegully Sdn Bhd, manakala Dato Sri Ung Eng Huat @ Dato’ Sunny  memiliki 29%; baki 5% dipegang oleh anak Daim, Datuk Md Wira Dani Abdul Daim.

Dilaporkan awal minggu ini bahawa SPNB Aspirasi telah memfailkan saman RM141 juta menuduh Azizi, pemaju hartanah Tunas Tunas Manja Development & Construction Sdn Bhd dan 10 yang lain bersubahat untuk menipu SPNB berhubung projek rumah mampu milik di Kuantan, Pahang menggunakan modus operandi yang serupa.

Dalam saman kedua yang difailkan pada 21 September SPNB Aspirasi mendakwa Azizi, bersama Allahyarham pengerusi SPNB Datuk Ahri Hashim telah bertindak bersama pengarah Wiradani untuk menipu SPNB itu membayar RM28 juta kepada Wiradani untuk tanah seluas 1.26 ekar di mana Service Apartment itu akan dibangunkan.

SPNB Aspirasi menuntut ganti rugi tidak kurang daripada RM134 juta daripada saman ini. RM106 juta untuk kehilangan peluang komersial dan RM28 juta sebagai pampasan untuk kos tanah yang dibayar kepada Wiradani antara relif lain.

Menurut SPNB Aspirasi ia telah menandatangani perjanjian pembangunan dengan Wiradani pada Oktober 2014 untuk membangunkan projek Service Apartment terdiri daripada 256 unit pangsapuri dan 20 unit runcit di atas sebidang tanah seluas 1.26 ekar milik pemaju hartanah itu.

SPNB Aspirasi mendakwa Wiradani kemudiannya melantik pelbagai kontraktor tanpa kelulusan yang diperlukan, termasuk Akitek Akiprima. Azizi dan bekas pengerusi Allahyarham Datuk Ahri mengetahui pelantikan tanpa kebenaran itu tetapi gagal melaksanakan tugas mereka sebagai pengarah syarikat dan gagal mempertahankan kepentingan SPNB Aspirasi tambahnya.

Perjanjian berat sebelah

Kemudian pada Disember 2017, perjanjian pembangunan tambahan yang berat sebelah telah ditandatangani antara SPNB Aspirasi (diwakili oleh Ahri dan Azizi) dan Wiradani (diwakili oleh Ung Eng Huat dan Cheah) yang memihak kepada Wiradani dan menjejaskan kepentingan SPNB Aspirasi. Ahri dan Azizi dilaporkan tidak mendapat kelulusan kelulusan lembaga pengarah syarikat sebelum membuat perjanjian.

Khususnya, klausa dalam perjanjian tambahan membolehkan Wiradani berhak untuk menamatkan perjanjian pembangunan 2014 sekiranya berlaku keingkaran oleh SPNB Aspirasi, dan menuntut ganti rugi bersamaan dengan keseluruhan kehilangan keuntungan daripada projek itu katanya.

Wiradani kemudiannya mengeluarkan tuntutan palsu yang diperakui oleh Akitek Akiprima pada Julai 2019 sebanyak RM2.57 juta dakwa SPNB Aspirasi yang membawa kepada kejadian ingkar tercetus.

Timbangtara seterusnya dimulakan untuk menyelesaikan pertikaian itu menyebabkan SPNB diarah membayar Wiradani RM31.51 juta termasuk RM28.22 juta untuk kehilangan keuntungan.

SPNB Aspirasi menegaskan bahawa perjanjian itu adalah “batal dan tidak sah ab initio (dari awal) dan harus diketepikan kerana ia adalah instrumen penipuan yang digunakan oleh defendan untuk menipu SPNB Aspirasi”.

Ia juga mendakwa tindakan Ahri dan Azizi yang didakwa menunjukkan dua pengarah itu telah melanggar fidusiari dan kewajipan berkanun mereka kepada syarikat, dan bahawa kedua-dua mereka, melalui perjanjian tambahan secara tidak jujur ​​membantu Wiradani dalam mengekalkan kos tanah RM28 juta dan mengemukakan tuntutan berlebihan menyebabkan kerugian apabila perjanjian ditamatkan.

Seperti saman SPNB sebelum ini SPNB Aspirasi berkata konspirasi dan penipuan itu terbongkar berikutan siasatan forensik dalaman yang dijalankan syarikat itu atas arahan pengerusi SPNB Datuk Husam Musa yang dilantik ke jawatan itu pada Mac tahun ini.

SPNB ialah sebuah syarikat pembangunan perumahan nasional yang ditubuhkan pada 1997 dan ditugaskan untuk membangunkan rumah mampu milik yang berkualiti untuk rakyat Malaysia.

Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia digesa menyiasat kes ini kerana terbukti wujud salahgunakuasa dan rasuah di SPNB ketika Datuk Ahmad Azizi Ali sebagai CEOnya.

Tindakan SPNB Aspirasi menyaman 5 individu yang bersekongkol merompak wang rakyat di SPNB adalah tepat sekali. Ini kerana mereka tetap hidup kaya raya di luar sana.

Siapa Dato’ Sri Ung Eng Huat @ Dato’ Sunny yang disaman?

Dato’ Sri Ung Eng Huat atau dipanggil Dato’ Sunny memang seorang yang kaya-raya. Pernah dikaitkan sebagai ‘proksi’ Nazri Aziz.

Tahun 2011 beliau merupakan Pengarah Eksekutif kepada Envair Holdings Bhd (Kini Straits Energy Resources Berhad) mempunyai 6.7 juta saham atau 5.65% kepentingan sebelum menjualnya.

Dato’ Sri Ung Eng Huat juga Pengerusi Eksekutif Petrol One (Tg Agas) Sdn Bhd menguasai 70% dan 30% lagi Mohamed Nedim Mohamed Nazri, anak Menteri di jabatan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz ketika itu. Seorang lagi pengarah ialah Annuar Musa. Petrol One (Tg Agas) telah didaftarkan pada Mei 2011, dan mempunyai tunjang utama dalam aktiviti perkapalan O&G, termasuk pembrokeran kapal, penyewaan dan bunkering.

Tahun 2012 Datuk Md Wira Dani Abdul Daim, anak kepada bekas menteri kewangan Tun Daim Zainuddin telah menjual 3.2 juta sahamnya atau 6.3% kepentingan dalam Petrol One Resources Bhd. Blok 3.2 juta saham ini diambil alih oleh Charisma Positief Sdn Bhd milik Dato’ Sri Ung Eng Huat. Hubungan Dani anak Daim dengan Dato’ Sri Ung Eng Huat bukan baru mereka memang kawan lama dalam dunia ‘scammer’ korporat Malaysia.

Tahun 2016 kecoh mengenai Dato’ Sri memiliki kenderaan mewah Lamborghini dan Rolls Royce bernilai RM3.4 juta kerana lari daripa da cukai kastam. Dato’ itu tidak bukan ialah Dato’ Sri Ung Eng Huat berasal dari Kelantan.

Kekayaan dan gaya glamour Md Wira Dani Abdul Daim  

Sementara itu siapa tidak kenal Tun Daim Zainuddin?. Namun anaknya Wira Dani Abdul Daim tidaklah sepopular bapanya itu. Namun kemunculannya seawal tahun 2011 sebagai pemegang saham Sanichi Berhad, kemudiannya tahun 2012 Petrol One Resources Bhd.

Gaya hidup mewah dan glamour bersama isterinya Datin Wira Sabrena juga menjadi sering mendapat perhatian media.

Namun tahun 2016 nama beliau lebih ke depan selepas menjadi pemegang saham terbesar dalam Reliance Pacific Bhd menguasai 30.96% kepentingan dengan 265.8 juta saham selepas ketua pegawai eksekutif Reliance Pacific Datin Irene Tan menjual saham kepadanya.

Paling kontroversi tahun yang sama Md Wira Dani Abdul Daim imej korporatnya tercemar selepas diisytiharkan muflis berhubung hutangnya sekitar $1.65 juta (RM4.9 juta) dengan Maybank Kim Eng Securities. Bekas pengarah bebas dan bukan eksekutif LionGold Corp dan Pengerusi Eksekutif ISR Capital bergelut dengan perintah muflis oleh Mahkamah Tinggi berhubung tuntutan hutang sebanyak $2.459 juta (RM7.3 juta) ketika membeli saham LionGold.

Saham LionGold serta Blumont Group dan Asiasons Capital menjunam pada Oktober 2013 hingga mengurangkan sekitar $6.9 juta (RM20.55 juta) daripada nilai pasaran menyebabkan kerugian kepada anak bekas Menteri Kewangan itu.

Menurut Maybank pihaknya menerima hanya kira-kira $835,950 (RM2.4 juta) iaitu kekurangan sebanyak $1,650,642 (RM4.9 juta) hingga mencetuskan tindakan muflis.

Untuk rekod Asiasons Capital Ltd, Blumont Group Ltd dan LionGold Corp Ltd adalah tujuh syarikat yang disiasat pihak berkuasa Singapura kerana skandal Penny Stock Singapura. Ia mengaitkan tentang penglibatan beberapa individu Malaysia dalam rangkaian pegangan saham dan jawatan pengarah memanipulasi saham menyebabkan kenaikan dan penurunan mendadak Bursa Saham Singapura.

A Historic Musical Evening in Kabul Nearly Five Decades Ago as Told by the Kabul Times

A Historic Musical Evening in Kabul Nearly Five Decades Ago as Told by the Kabul Times

By Farhad Azad 

Let's travel to a night in Kabul in early July 1973. The air is mixed with the scent of نسترن wild roses and هل cardamom. This was no ordinary night in Kabul. This is the night when Mahwash, the celebrated "Female Vocalist of the Year" of Radio Kabul, steps onto a different stage, one steeped in the age-old traditions of classical music.

Golalaye Farida, the woman behind the stage named Mahwash, had already charmed her audiences with her voice, a gift first honed five years ago under Hafizullah Kheyal, a seasoned composer and vocalist of Radio Kabul. 

But tonight, she and a few other aspiring musical students seek a more profound path of learning, the kind found in the famed musician's quarter of Kharabat, where Ustad Mohammad Hashim, a legend with over 50 compositions to his name by this time, holds court with other ustads. 

A symphony of anticipation fills the air in Ustad Mashwash's friend's home. Ustad Hashim's two younger brothers, the dilruba virtuoso Nabi among them, bring life to the room. Among the gathered are vocalists Shah Wali Wali and the "stout" Ahmad Wali, alongside the "ruggedly handsome" composer Nainawaz. Mahwash's husband, a steadfast pillar of support, observes, and their four-year-old daughter absorbs in her play, adding to the unfolding scene.

Dinner, a fragrant feast, was a mere prelude. As Waleh, the Kabul Times' roving eye, later recounts, the air grows thick with a palpable sense of ritual, of history being made. The ceremony begins…

How are Musicians Initiated?

By Abdul Haq Waleh

Expert from the July 11, 1973 issue of Kabul Times  (written in English) 

Mahwash brought to Ustad Hashim a tray containing suit material [cloth for a suit], some cash and candies. She was asked to present it to another Ustad Mohmmad Nabi who accompanies Ustad Hashim on the dilruba. 

Ustad Nabi asked Ustad Mashwah, as the custom goes, what was there on the tray. She replied with humility that there were a few unworthy gifts she wanted to present to Ustad Hashim. 

He asked again why present these to Ustad Hashim and not to others because there were quite a few ustads in town. She believed Ustad Hashim tops them all as far as his teaching techniques and compositions were concerned. She wanted to be his pupil and learn classical music from him. 

Then came another question from Ustad Nabi from which Mashwash was apparently not prepared. Perhaps they do not rehearse the whole ceremony because they like it spontaneous. Ustad Nabi inquired as to how she would behave after initiation. 

Mahwash looked blank and after a few moments of hesitation, the word was passed to her husband and he whispered it into her ear. She said she would behave as his daughter should. 

Then Ustad Nabi emphasized with enough seriousness the amount of request required by an ustad and the quantity of hard work to be put in by the pupil. Afterwards, he took Mahwash's hand and placed it on the harmonium. Ustad Hashim took a string from the tray and tied it around her wrist. This symbolized that she was his pupil for life, tied up to him through that string.  

Almost all the amateur singers extended their hands to be tied up in a similar manner and the smiling Ustad complied with generosity. But he did not utter a word before or after the ceremonies. Perhaps the traditions require that the Ustad should not say anything. That was why the ceremony was conducted by another ustad. And Mahwash passed the tray, serving each with a few candies which symbolizes a sweet future. 

But the question is that thousands of her admirers want her to sing popular songs which they are in a position to appreciate classical music. But Mahwash is bent on learning classical music so that one day she may be able to answer questions which may reveal whys and wherefores for her.  She believes she has the right to pursue her own interests while her admirers are entitled to their own likes and dislikes. She will sing for them songs that may be hits after mastering the art of singing under an ustad. This sounds quite convincing to me and perhaps her countless admirers will be looking forward to the opportunity.

By Farhad Azad 

Captured with Candor

Abdul Haq Waleh's prose is a time machine, transporting us to a space in time where tradition and ambition collide. He paints a vivid tableau: the hushed whispers, the scent of instruments, the palpable scene as Kabul's musical elite gather for a pivotal moment. He writes, “Nainawaz was so much carried away by music that the pretty hotels announced a few times that dinner was ready but he did not allow anyone to move.” And this line as well, “Ustad Hashim was playing the ever ready harmonium and the little lady in her black crepe dress was singing one of his compositions.” 

Mixed Classes Learning Music

In this rarified space, social boundaries blurred. Mahwash, the middle-class songbird, sought the wisdom of Ustad Hashim, the maestro of Kharabat's musician class. Alongside her, the aristocratic composer Nainawaz defied societal norms. Both songbird and composer shared passion for music transcended class divisions, a testament to art's unifying power. Yet, this mingling was not without risk. Both had faced familial backlash for pursuing their artistic dreams. As the poet Samy Hamed observed years later, this society loved the music but shunned the musicians, a paradox whose shadow did not hover over this historic night. 

Women's Place in Music

Mahwash, a woman singing openly, not just on the radio but in public concerts, was a radical shift. Just two decades earlier, female vocalists entered Radio Kabul shrouded in burqas, their voices celebrated, their identities concealed. Mahwash and other female arts defiances signaled a shift in the tectonic plates of a conservative society fully supported by Zahir Shah, the gentlemen monarch. Three years after this historic evening, the Ministry of Culture would bestow the title of "Ustad" upon Mahwash.

Ustad Mohammad Hashim's Influence on Popular Music 

Ustad Mohammad Hashim Chishtis (1934-94), the unsung hero of popular music on Radio Kabul, shaped a generation of composers who defined Kabuli pop. He mentored Shah Wali Wali Taranasaz (1927-2007) and Nainawaz (1934-79), whose compositions were the bedrock for vocalists like Ahmad Zahir, Mahwash, Ahmad Wail and many more. A tabla virtuoso from childhood, the elder son of master tabla player Chacha Mahmoud Chishtis, Ustad Hashim’s musical innovations extended beyond tradition, reaching into diverse genres. He famously reimagined a Western guitar, playing it with a river stone, and his legacy extends to the melodies that defined Kabul’s modern sound.

"The Culture of the Coups"

The timing of this musical gathering was eerily prescient. A mere three weeks later, Kabul's fragile peace would shatter, ushering in an era of political upheaval. Daoud Khan’s coup, the first of many to follow, as writer Rahnaward Zaryab noted, would forever alter the course of Kabul’s history. But on that early July night, amidst the scent of wild roses and the promise of music, the future remained unwritten, a melody hanging in the balance.

🍃🕊🍃 The First Imam,

Ali Ibn Abu Talib (as)

It was Friday 13th of Rajab 30 Amulfeel Hazrat Fatima binte Asad, the wife of Hazrat Abu Talib entered the precincts of the Kaaba and prayed to Allah saying O’my protector ease my pain.’All of a sudden the wall of the Kaaba opened up and she, as if by some unseen force went inside the Kaaba and the wall closed.

‘Ali (as) the youngest son of Abu Talib was born inside the Holy Kaaba. She stayed inside for three days. On the 3rd day she came out through the door and Muhammad was waiting outside. She told Muhammad (S) that the boy had not taken any milk. Muhammad gave him the first feed from his mouth and afterwards asked his uncle Abu Talib that he wished to adopt the baby.

‘Ali entered the house of Muhammad from the very first day of his birth. ‘Ali’s mother Fatima binte Assad Also lived there who looked after his own son as well as Muhammad (S) so much so that later the Holy Prophet used to say that she was like his own mother.

Shah Waliullah, Mohadith-e-Dehlvi writes in the book “Izalatul Kholafa” giving reference from Imam Hakim in his Mustadrak Part 3, Page 483. Qud Tawatarul Akhbar Inna Fatimah Binte Asad woledat Aliyan Fi Jaufil Kaaba”. Another writer of the old school Sibtel Jauzi in his book Tazkeratul Khawas ul Umma, page 7 mentions the same fact that ‘Ali was born inside the Kaaba.

Khawja Moinuddin Chishti Ajmeri mentions this fact in his famous Quartet saying that when ‘Ali was born inside the kaaba the Sky and the earth was filled with a light and Angel Gabriel announced that a child was born in the house of God.

Maulana Rumi in his Mathnawi writes, “ O’one who travels to Najef to visit the tomb of ‘Ali must know the fact that the pearl of the Kaaba lies there to give us security because of our intense love for him.”

Masoodi the famous historian writes in his book of history Muruj el Zahab, that ‘Ali was born inside the Kaaba on the orders of Muhammad the Messenger of God.

It was after the adoption of ‘Ali (as) that he lived with the Holy Prophet in his house.

Wherever Muhammad (S) went ‘Ali (as) was with him all the time. Even in the Mountain of Hira when Muhammad (S)went for meditation ‘Ali (as) went with him most of the time. Sometimes they stayed on the mountain for 3 or 4 days. Sometimes ‘Ali (as) took his food there. In Nahjul Balagha ‘Ali (as) said that “ I used to go with the Holy Prophet like the baby camel goes with his mother.”

Some historians try to show that when Muhammad (S) declared his prophet hood ‘Ali (as) was the first among male children who accepted Islam. The implication here is that both Muhammad (S) and ‘Ali (as) were non -believers before this declaration.

This is against the Qur’anic verdict which says that Ibrahim was a Muslim and he taught his children to be Muslims so that when the Prophet was born among the descendants of Ibrahim through the line of Ismael he was born a Muslim and so was ‘Ali. The correct thing to say would be that when Muhammad (S)declared his prophet hood openly ‘Ali (as) immediately adhered to the declaration without hesitation.

The three persons seen in prayers in the Kaaba were Muhammad, Khadija and ‘Ali before anyone else accepted Islam. For 3 years young and poor persons of Makka were accepting Islam secretly. The first open declaration came when the Qora’nic verse tells the Prophet to "come out openly and warn the people of your own clan."

Invitations were sent to leaders of the Banu Hashim to come to the house of Muhammad (S)for Dinner. Forty of them came, ate food and then heard Muhammad (S)about his mission of ‘ No god but Allah and Muhammad (S) as the messenger of Allah and whoever offers his help to propagate this religion will be his deputy and successor.

No one stood up except ‘Ali (as) . After announcing this 3 times Muhammad (S) declared that ‘Ali (as) will be his deputy to his mission and will be his successor after him. People thought it as a joke that a 13 year old boy was to be a deputy of this prophetic mission.

Even Abu Lahab jokingly told Abu Talib, go and obey your son to which AbuTalib smilingly accepted. ‘Ali (as) promised to help Muhammad (S) in his mission and kept this promise all his life.

The next thing which we see in the life of ‘Ali (as) is the reflection of this promise he gave at this place in front of the leaders of the Quraish.

We see ‘Ali (as) protecting Muhammad (S) from the abuses of the enemies of Islam. When Muhammad (S)went to Taif a nearby town to preach Islam children of Taif hurled stones and it was ‘Ali (as) who protected the Prophet and drove the stone throwing children away from the Prophet.

As a youth ‘Ali (as) was strongly built, strong arms, wide chest and a very strong brave and shining face. Children of his age and even older to him were frightened of him and whenever they tried to mock the Prophet, they always ran away when they saw ‘Ali (as) standing by for protection.

Time passed and hostility of the Quraish increased so much so that Muhammad (S) was ordered by Allah to leave Makka. ‘Ali (as) slept on Muhammad’s bed without hesitation and when the non-believers entered the house of Muhammad (S) to kill, they found ‘Ali (as) who was not afraid at all at the site of 40 swordsmen entering the house.

When they questioned ‘Ali: ”where is Muhammad” he bravely replied, did you leave him in my custody? When after 3 days of Muhammad’s departure ‘Ali returned all the goods entrusted to Muhammad to their owners, he set out to leave Makka for Madina with the rest of the family.

‘Ali (as) had with him his mother Fatima binte Asad, His aunt, the wife of Hamza, and Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad (S) and many other ladies. Non-believers of Makka tried to stop ‘Ali (as) from his departure but ‘Ali (as) fought back, drove the infidels away and safely reached Madina. Muhammad (S) was waiting for the family outside the precincts of the town. He entered the city with ‘Ali (as) and the rest of the family.

The Holy Prophet created a bond of brotherhood between the Muslims, making ‘Ali (as) as his Muslim brother saying O’’Ali, you are my brother in this world as well as in the next.

Once the family settled in the newly adopted city of Madina their first task was to complete the mosque around which their houses were also built. ‘Ali initially stayed with his mother but when he married Fatima the daughter of the Prophet he was given a house next to the Prophet by the side of the mosque. He had been betrothed to her several days before the battle of Badr.

But the marriage was celebrated three months later. ‘Ali was about 23 years old and Fatima was 18. This was most happy and celebrated marriage. The distinctiveness of their respective characters blended so well with each other that they never quarreled and complained of one another and led a happy and most contended life.

Materially the couple did not possess much, spiritually they were at the highest level of assent. They had no worries if they go hungry or their clothes had patches. They would be more concerned if an orphan goes away from their door without receiving any food.

History records ‘Ali’s life in Madina with the Holy Prophet for the next ten years as the busiest in defending Islam against the attackers from Makka. ‘Ali (as) was always the standard bearer of the Flag of Islam in all such battles and his bravery became legendary.

Ibne Abil Hadid, the Motazelli commentator of Nahjul Balagha says that: ‘Ali (as) had a personality in which opposite characteristics had so gathered that it was difficult to believe a human mind could manifest such a combination. He was the bravest man that history could cite and such brave men are always hard hearted, cruel and eager to shed blood.

On the contrary ‘Ali was kind, sympathetic, responsive and warmhearted person, qualities quite contrary to the other phase of his character and more suited to pious and God fearing persons.’Ali’s bravery and piety both became legendry. Life in Madina while the Holy Prophet was alive was the busiest for ‘Ali. But he remembers these times as the best times of his life. He says in Nahjul Balagha ‘Life with my brother was a life of ease and happiness.’

The battles of Badr, Ohud, Khandaq and Khyber were fought in the defense if Islam and won on the hands of ‘Ali (as) . He was not only the standard bearer of the Flag of Islam in these battles, but always led the forces of Islam against Kufr and came out victorious. Khyber was the climax of these battles when ‘Ali’s victory brought prosperity in the Muslim ranks.

Ayesha the wife of the Prophet said once that until the victory of Khyber we in the house of the Prophet spent days without food. It was only after Khyber that life at home became a little easier. Thus ‘Ali (as) brought an end to the hostilities of Quraish in three encounters of Badr, Ohud and Khandaq.

Their best warriors were killed, their unity against Islam was crushed, their pride was humiliated and their prestige before Arab clans was lowered by him and by him alone. Khyber saw an end to the hegemony of Jews in Arabia at the hands of ‘Ali (as) .

The peace agreement of Hodaibiya was written by ‘Ali (as) and at the time of the peaceful victory at Makka, the idols of the Kaaba were demolished by the Holy Prophet with the help of ‘Ali (as) .Details of these battles were shown in the life of the Prophet.

Battle of Honain

The Victory of Makka brought many non believers into the fold of Islam. Broadly speaking there were three types who embraced Islam. Fear, greed and the true understanding of Islam and its principles. Some of the Makkans became Muslims for fear of their lives, they were afraid that the Prophet would kill them, others were simply frightened that the Holy Prophet with the help of Angel Gabriel would bring the wrath of God on them.

Then there was greed that Islam was now victorious, so if they joined in the good life would be theirs for free. Very few of them truly understood Islam and accepted it as a true faith. The Test of their true faith came immediately after the fall of Makka while Muslims were still in the sweet pleasure of this bloodless victory, that various tribes outside Makka gathered an army of 20,000 in Taif to fight the Muslims.

The hostile tribes decided to attack at a vantage point at Hunain and selected two prominent places where they concealed their archers. The Muslims were proud of their success in Makka, but their behavior during the encounter was timorous and cowardly. The Qur’an tells us this in (9:9):

“God came to your help on so many occasions, on the day of Honain, your vanity in the number of your soldiers and your arrogance did not prove any avail to you, you were badly defeated and could not find any place of shelter, you started running away without shame.”

This encounter took place in the month of Shawwal 8th Hijri (Jan 630 AD). When the Muslim army marched towards the place where archers were concealed the enemy opened the campaign with such a severe onslaught that the Muslim army could not stand it.

Their assault was fierce and confusion in the Muslim ranks made the archers bolder and they came nearer and attacked from both flanks and from the front. The Muslims could not stand the attack and started running without putting any resistance and where not concerned to leave the Prophet alone, (see Saheeh Bukhari).

The first battalion to run was the one in the command of Khalid ibne Waleed(Rauzathus Safa vol II page 137) This was followed by such a disorderly and tumultuous flight that only 10 people were left out of an army of 15,000 with the Holy Prophet. Eight of them were of Bani Hashim,(.Abbas, two of his sons, ‘Ali and three other cousins of the Holy Prophet)

Abbas was shouting to the Muslims to come back, reminding them of the oath of allegiance taken and promises made, but it was to no avail. Those who accepted Islam for greed , wealth and power were not willing to risk their lives.

Many of them who had carefully hidden their enmity from the rising power were happy at the defeat. They gathered round Abu Sofian, started congratulating him and saying, "The magical circle of the lying Prophet is broken,” They were praying for the return of Polytheism. 1.

Once again it fell to the lot of ‘Ali (as) to save the Holy Prophet and the Islam. Armies of Bani Hawaazen and Banu Saqeef under cover of their archers were rushing the hillock and were getting ready for a fierce onslaught.

‘Ali (as) divided the small band of faithful true Muslims in three divisions; to Abdullah Ibne Masood, Abbas ibne Abdul Muttalib and Abu bin Harris has assigned the duty of protecting the Holy Prophet, to three he ordered to guard the rear and he himself faced the onslaught with only three warriors with him.

He fought, wounded at many places, but continued fighting when he faced the commander of the hostile army, Abu Jerdal in hand to hand fight and killed him with one stroke of his sword. He alone killed over 30 of the enemy and with this bravery his aids also fought bravely and enemy was defeated.

The day was saved, the commander of the enemy’s army was killed, their ranks were broken they had no courage to face ‘Ali (as) and they started retreating. The sight of the powerful army in retreat, made the fleeing Muslims bold and they came back as victory was won for them 2.

The defensive battles were over and the peaceful spread of Islam began. ‘Ali (as) was again in the forefront. He brought the whole tribe of Bani Hamdan to Islam by preaching . Similarly when he was sent to Yemen he brought the whole country in to the fold of Islam by his sermons.

This news so pleased the Holy Prophet that he bowed down in Sajdah to thank God three times and said loudly, peace be to Bani Hamdan and to ‘Ali. Again in the year 10th of Hijra ‘Ali’s sermon and preaching proved so effective that the whole province embraced Islam as one man.

In the 9th year of Hijra the famous event of Mobahela took place. Najran was a city in the province of Yemen. It was the center of Christian Missionary activities in southern Arabia. The Holy Prophet had written to the Chief Priest of the City to realize the blessings of Islam.

In reply he wrote that he personally would like to discuss the teachings of this new religion. His name was Haris. He was invited and came with a group of 14 priests.

These priests as guest of the Holy Prophet. Long discussions took place during the course of 4 days of their stay in Madina. When Sunday came the Chief priest wanted to go out of the city to have their Sunday Service. Prophet Islam said that they all have permission to conduct their religious service inside the mosque of the Prophet which they happily did.

Long discussions continued about monotheism verses trinity and it was realized that these priests were not open minded, on the contrary they were prejudiced against monotheism. The Almighty Lord ordered the Holy Prophet to explain to that:

“Verily Jesus is as Adam in the sight of God. He created Adam from dust. He said unto him, Be, and he was. This is truth from thy Lord. be not therefore one of those who doubt, and whoever shall dispute thee, say unto them, “come let us call together our sons and your sons, our women and your women, our Selves and your Selves, then let us make imprecations and lay the curse of God upon those who lie.” (3:61)

According to Bibi Ayesha when the above verse was revealed to the Apostle of God, he called ‘Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Husayn and said, “Lord, this is my family (Ahlul Bayt). The Holy Prophet took this small family with them to the open land outside the city where they all assembled to bring the curse of God on those who lie.

When the Chief priest saw these faces, he told his companions that he was looking at the faces that if they call the mountain, the mountain will go them. Do not have Mobahela with them or you will be destroyed. On hearing this they all agreed to pay homage to the Holy Prophet and an annual tax for living in the Islamic State and withdrew from the scene.

Designation of ‘Ali as successor to the Prophet

In history there were numerous occasions when the Holy Prophet designated ‘Ali as his Deputy and successor after him. From the moment of Zulasheera to the time of the conquest of Khyber and the occasion of the battle of Tabuke the Holy Prophet made it abundantly clear that no one deserved more than ‘Ali to be his Deputy and successor. But at the time of Ghadeer this was clearly ordered by Allah through a clear verse revealed on the Prophet. The Verse said,

"O’ apostle; proclaim the whole of that which hath been sent down to thee from thy Lord, for if thou dost it not, it will be as if thou hast not at all performed the duty of His Prophethood. And God will protect thee from evil men, verily God guideth not the unbelievers.” (5:67.)

The occasion was after the last pilgrimage in 10th Hijri. The Prophet delivered his Sermons on Mount Arafat, had the final rounds of the Kaaba and left for Madina. More than 120,000 pilgrims were coming out with him from Makka going to the North.

Half way through their journey where the routes were separated for various pilgrims, the Holy Prophet ordered the whole caravan to halt. All those who went ahead were called back and for those who were behind they waited for them to arrive.

The place was Ghadeer, near the pool of water. That is why it was named Ghadeer-e-Khom. When all assembled at this place the Holy Prophet stood up on top of the pulpit and said, "People, shortly I shall be called towards my creator where I shall have to give an account as to how I have conveyed His message to you and you in your turn will be asked as to how you have accepted and carried out the teachings. Now tell me what you will say”.

Thereupon all the pilgrims declared as one man, "Apostle of God, we testify and declare that you have conveyed the message of God fully, you have strived your utmost to guide us to the Right Path and taught us to follow it. You were most kind to us and you never wished for us but our good, may God repay you for all that."

After that the Prophet said, "Do you not testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is His creature, His servant, and His apostle, that there is the Heaven and the Hell, that death will overtake every one of you, that you will be brought back from your graves that the Day of Judgement will surely dawn and human beings will be resurrected from their graves to account for their deeds.

The whole crowd declared in unison, "We believe and testify all this." Hearing this the Apostle declared, "I am leaving amongst you two most important things worthy of obedience, the Qur’an and my progeny (Ahlul Bayt). Take care how you treat them, they will not separate from each other till they reach me at the fountain of Kauser.”

Then he said, “The Almighty God is my Lord (Maula) and I am the Lord of all Muslims and have more right and power on their lives than they themselves. Do you believe in this assertion of mine?" They all in one voice replied “Yes O’Apostle of God. Three times he asked the same question and three times he received the same affirmative reply.

At this solemn affirmation he said, “Hear and remember that to whomever I am Lord or Maula, ‘Ali is the Lord and Maula to him. He is to me what Aaron was to Musa. The Almighty God is a friend to his friends and a foe to his foe, help those who help him and frustrate those who betray him.

While saying this he raised ‘Ali High over his shoulders in order to be seen by all the Muslims assembled there. Thereupon the Holy Prophet received the final revelation:

"This day I have perfected your religion for you and have filled up the measure of my bounties upon you and I am pleased with Islam to be your Deen," (5:3).

After performing this ceremony and receiving the above revelation the Holy Prophet came down from the pulpit and ordered a tent to be erected. In this ‘Ali (as) was made to take his seat and all Muslims were ordered to pay homage to him and address him as Amirul Momeneen (Lord of the faithful) The first person to congratulate and address him as such was Omar Ibne Khattab saying, “I congratulate you, O’’Ali, today you have become my Maula and Lord and Lord of every Muslim man and woman. 1.

The event of Ghadeer was on 18th of Zilhijja 10th Hijri, immediately after the last pilgrimage by the Holy Prophet. He then arrived back in Madina and lived only for 70 days after the event.(130 Prominent Companions of the Holy Prophet narrated this Hadith including the first three Kholafa-e-Rashidoon)

The year 11th AH was the saddest year for ‘Ali. (as) He lost two of his best friends. One of whom he loved and venerated like a father, like a master and like a dearest friend, the Holy Prophet(S) who died on 28th Safar 11th Hijri, exactly 70 days after the event of Ghadeer. His death followed by the death of his dearest companion his wife Fatima, the Lady of Light.

Immediately after the death of the Holy Prophet who was buried by ‘Ali (as) with the help of his uncle Abbas and all the family of Bani Hashim, the news was given to ‘Ali (as) about the events at the Saqeefa that Abubakr was made Caliph. Abu Sofian heard the news came to ‘Ali (as) and told him that his Right was taken away from him.

If he wishes, Abu Sofian would fill the city of Madina with horsemen to defend ‘Ali’s Right of Khilafat. ‘Ali’s reply was typical, he said,” since when you have become friends of Islam”, you want to create serious dissension amongst the Muslims. You have always tried to harm Islam I do not need your sympathies or help.”

‘Ali realized that any serious dissension at this stage would harm the cause of Islam. He had before him the example of Hodaibiya and he had been foretold by the Holy Prophet of all that would happen. Allama ‘Ali Ibne Mohammed (630 AH) in his book Usdul Ghaba Vol iv page 31 says, The Holy Prophet had told ‘Ali, your status is like that of Kaaba.

People go to Kaaba but that August house never approaches anybody. Therefore after my death, if people come to you and swear the oath of allegiance you accept it and if they do not come to you then you do not go to them.”

‘Ali’s love for Islam was so intense, he could not, for the sake of worldly rule, endanger Islam. He knew fully well that a civil war at this stage would give chances to the Jewish tribes of Banu Nuzair and Banu Qoraiza on the one side, and the Byzantine armies in the north with the Munafiqoon (hypocrites) the new converts on the third side to simply take advantage of the situation.

When they would find the Muslims busy killing each other they would literally cut them to pieces and Islam would totally disappear as a message of peace. ‘Ali’s utmost desire was to see Islam and the Arabs in one piece and wanted the enemies of Islam to realize that Islam was strong enough to defend itself as “Deen”. even after the demise of the Apostle of God.

He had another important job to complete that is the completion of the collection of Qur’an with its Tafseer (explanations) according to the instructions of the Holy Prophet. Qur’an as a book was already completed by the Holy Prophet, many copies were made and circulated among the Muslim communities all over the Islamic world.

What ‘Ali did in the next six months after the demise of the Holy Prophet was to collect all the explanations of the various verses, reasons behind their revelation and their full context. This monumental job he completed in six months and brought before the Muslims in the city of the Prophet.

Unfortunately this was ignored by the ruling party and ‘Ali (as) took it back with him. Their comment was "this is too bulky and people will not understand it.”

The original remained with ‘Ali (as) all his life and then passed on to his son Hasan (as) and then to Husayn (as) which then continued with the Ahlul Bayt of the Prophet. It is now with the 12th Imam (as) .

During the time of the three Kholafa, although ‘Ali (as) did not take part in any of the battles, he was always available when they sought his advice on religious matters. His position as the jurist was on the top of the list among the companions of the Holy Prophet.

Omar Ibne Khattab the 2nd Caliph had given clear instructions that when ‘Ali was present in the mosque of the Prophet no one should take precedence over him in answering questions on religious matters.

In one such encounter during the time of the 2nd Caliph, a group of Jewish scholars approached the caliph and said, “ We have a few questions. If we get the answers to these questions correctly, we will accept the Islamic faith. “Ask whatever you want to ask," said the caliph. They asked the following questions.

1. What are the locks and keys of heaven?

2. Who was the messenger who was neither of the human nor of the jinn and who warned his people?

3. Which are the 5 beings that were created without the aid of ovaries?

4 What are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven and twelve?

The caliph thought over these questions for a time, then said, I do not know the answers to these questions. I will take you to a man who is most knowledgeable in the commandments of God and the Prophet and the greatest among us. The caliph then brought the Jewish scholars to ‘Ali (as) . They asked the same questions to him. ‘Ali (as) answered thus:

1. The locks of the heavens are beliefs in more than one God, and its keys are the letters of “La Ilaha Illallah, Muhammad-Ur-Rasulallah.”

2. The messenger who warned his people is the ant who, when Solomon’s army was passing by, said to his people, “ Enter your houses so that the army may not stamp you out (without intention)”. So God states in the Holy Qur’an,

“Until they came to the valley of the Ants, said an ant (addressing the other ants of the valley) O” you ants’ enter into your dwellings, so that Solomon and his hosts may not crush you while they know it not”. (27:18)

3. The five beings that were not born of ovaries are: Adam, Eve, the staff of Moses which used to change into a python, the camel of Saleh, and the sheep of Ibrahim (which was sent by God to become a ransom of the life of Ibrahim’s son Ismael).

4. One is God who has no partners, two are Adam and Eve, three are the substances ( i.e. non-living matter, plants and animals), four are the Heavenly books: Torah of Moses, Bible of Jesus, Zubur of Dawood and the Qur’an of Muhammad (S).

Five are the daily prayers. Six are the days of creation of the heavens and earth, as per the verse of the Qur’an:

“And indeed We created the heavens and the earth and what is between them two, in six periods and touched us not any fatigue.” (Surah 50:38). Seven are the seven heavens, in the light of the Qur’anic Verse: “And we have erected above you the seven strong ones.” (78:12)

Eight are those angels who bear the heavens, as per the Qur’anic Verse:

“And the angels shall be on the side of it; and above them shall bear that day ‘Arsh’(the throne of authority). of your Lord, eight of them (69:17)

Nine are the nine signs given to Moses as stated by God:

“And indeed we gave Moses nine clear signs (miracles); so ask the children of Israel when he came to them, Pharaoh said to him; “Verily I deem you O’Moses one bewitched.”

(17:101).

Ten are the ten days, i.e. God had promised Moses that he would stay on the mountain of Toor for thirty days, and later added ten more days to this duration, as it is stated in the Qur’an.

“And we made an appointment with Moses for thirty nights and completed it with ten more;” Thus was completed the term of his Lord, forty nights, and (before he went up) Moses said to his brother Aaron: You take my place among my people, act rightly and follow not the path of the mischief-makers.” (7:142).

Eleven are the brothers of Joseph, son of Jacob, as the Qur’an states,

“When said Joseph to his father, O’my father; Verily I did see (dream) eleven stars and the sun and the moon,, I saw them all prostrating to me.” (12:4).

Twelve are the Twelve water-springs manifested by the staff of Moses, as God states,

“And (remember) when Moses sought water for his people; said We, ‘Strike the rock with your staff’ Then gushed out therefrom twelve springs; each people knew their drinking place; “Eat and drink God’s provision, and commit not evil in the earth acting mischievously.” (2:60)

When the Jewish scholars heard the replies of ‘Ali (as) they said, “We bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad (S) is His Messenger and ‘Ali (as) is the “Wasi” and successor of the Messenger of God as Aaron was the Wasi of Moses. They all embraced Islam, went back to their tribe and converted all of them to Islam.(Kaukabe Durri).

After the death of Osman the 3rd Caliph ‘Ali (as) was elected by the overwhelming majority of Muslims as the 4th Caliph. He was reluctant to accept the office of the caliph but when pushed by the majority , accepted it by saying that he was taking the reins of worldly authority only to bring back the Ummah of the Prophet on the Right Path, though the value of this worldly khilafat is less than the sneeze of a goat.

His position as an Imam and guide was already established during the period of three earlier khulafa, with worldly power he began the daunting task of establishing the type of rule the Messenger of God had established during his time.

Imam Bukhari mentioned in his Saheeh that the very first prayers which ‘Ali (as) led in the mosque of the Prophet as the Caliph, many companions of the prophet said that “today we have prayed as the Messenger of God used to pray”.

But during the past 25 years many companions of the Prophet had, due to excessive wealth coming in from the conquest of the foreign lands, changed into the habit of living like feudal lords of the period of Jahiliya of pre-Islamic days. ‘Ali (as) as caliph warned them of the dangers of excessive wealth by these words. " Beware of the intoxication of wealth”.(Masudi,Muruj el Zahab).

The path of ‘Ali (as) was full of thorns and as soon as he tried to establish the austere path of the Messenger of God, he created many enemies. The first and foremost was the Governor of Syria Moawiya ibne Abi Sofian.

He persuaded Talha and Zubair,when they were denied the Governorship of various provinces by ‘Ali (as) , to start a revolt against ‘Ali. (as) Both of them left Madina, arrived in Makka and somehow persuaded bibi Ayesha the widow of the Prophet to start a fight against ‘Ali. (as) They left Makka for Basra and assembled an army against ‘Ali. (as) .

He warned them of the dangers of war against the caliph upon whose hand they had taken the oath of allegiance, but persuasion from Moawiya and promises of Governorship of various provinces was so strong that they would not hear any advice. ‘Ali (as) left Madina in pursuit of these deviants and two Muslim armies faced each other near Basra.

When many companions of the Prophet saw this they questioned the validity of this war and cast doubt as to which party was on the right path. ‘Ali (as) replied in the most subtle way to these doubters. “ Truth cannot be identified from men, find the truth and you will find the deserving person”.

The battle of Jamal was fought, ‘Ali ‘s army was victorious, both Talha and Zubair were killed by their own men and bibi Ayesha was sent back to Madina under the escort of her brother Muhammad ibne Abibakr. She always repented this venture and asked forgiveness from God.

When with the connivance of Moawiya her brother Muhammad ibne abi bakr was killed and his body was put into the body of a dead camel and burnt, she cursed Moawiya five times a day after every prayer, throughout her life..

The Battle of Siffin was also fought due to the deviant action of Moawiya against the Islamic State. Some companions of ‘Ali’s army deserted him by accepting bribes from Moawiya and due to this deceitful action the battle of Siffin remained indecisive, no one won and no one lost.

In the meantime this deviant group which was later named as “Khawarij” meaning deviant, began to spread trouble within the Islamic State by looting and burning villages and killing women and children that ‘Ali (as) fought against them and the battle of Nahrwan took place.

On the way to Nahrwan ‘Ali (as) passed a monastery. An old Christian monk who also claimed to be an astrologer of some repute called out, “ O’ army of Islam, ask your leader to come to me. Upon hearing this ‘Ali (as) turned his horse towards the monastery and approached the monk. Where do you go ask the monk. To fight the enemies of Islam, replied ‘Ali (as) .

Do not fight now, because at this moment the stars do not favor the Muslims. Wait for a few days when the stars will become favorable for you. ‘Ali (as) replied, do you defy Allah for this action we are taking on the orders of Allah and for His Deen.

‘Ali (as) said, “ since you profess knowledge of the stars, tell me about the movement of such and such star.” The old man said, By God, I have never heard the name of this star. ‘Ali (as) asked him another question about the skies and when the old man failed to reply said “It is now known that you do not know about the skies.

Shall I ask you about the earth? Tell me what is buried beneath your feet at the spot where you stand. I do not know said the old monk, “There is a vessel filled with so many silver coins and the coins bear such and such emblem. How do you know enquired the monk”.

“By God’s grace.” said ‘Ali (as) . Then ‘Ali proceeded to say that in the ensuing fight, less than ten persons of Islamic army would be killed whereas less than ten persons from the opposing army would escape. The old monk listened astonished. As per ‘Ali’s command, when the earth beneath the feet of the monk was dug, a vessel filled with silver coins was found exactly as described by ‘Ali (as)

‘Ali (as) proceeded to Nahrwan and in the ensuing fight, the Khawarij were thoroughly defeated. Out of the four thousand men of the Khawarij only nine escaped and only nine men of the Islamic army were killed in this battle. (Rawdhatul Shuhada, Kaukab el Durri )

Returning from the battle ‘Ali (as) passed the monastery and when the monk heard the full story he embraced Islam immediately.

‘Ali (as) also admonished him about his belief in astrology. He said “ do you think you can tell the hour when a man goes out and no evil befall him. Whoever testifies this falsifies the Qur’an and becomes unmindful of Allah in achieving his desired objective and in warding off the undesirable.”

Then ‘Ali (as) addressed to his own soldiers and said “Beware of learning the science of stars except that with which guidance is sought on land or sea, because it leads to divining and an astrologer is a diviner, while a diviner is like the sorcerer, the sorcerer is like the unbeliever and the unbeliever’s place is in hell.”(Nahjul Balagha)

The four years and ten months of the Khilafat of ‘Ali (as) has been regarded by many historians as the best example of Islamic State after the Prophet of Islam’s death, in spite of the fact that the family of Abu Sofian tried their best to destroy it.

Imam Abu Yousuf the famous disciple of Imam Abu Hanifa in his book about the history of Kholafae Rashedun declares above the title of his book that ‘Ali’s (as) time of Khilafat was the best in the management of the Islamic State and most just.

Many European historians mentioned ‘Ali’s name with love and affection. Carlyle writes in his Heros and Heroworship that” ‘Ali had such a personality that he was liked, loved and venerated by everybody. He was the man of excellent character loving and lovable, so intensely brave that if anything stood against his bravery it was consumed as if by fire, yet he was so gentle and kind that he represented the model of a Christian Knight.”

The famous Egyptian scholar Mohammad Abdoh relates a story about the time of the conquest of Alexandria during the reign of the 2nd caliph. They found a great library there and did not know what to do with it.

Orders were issued from Madina that ‘if these books are according to the Holy Qur’an, then we do not need them and if they say anything contrary to the Holy Qur’an then we do not want them. Therefore, in any case they ought to be burnt. (Akhbarul Ulama wa Aakhbarul Hukama of Ibne Quftee, pages 232 and 233,Printed Cairo).

When ‘Ali (as) heard the news of this, he tried to pursuade them to refrain from issuing such order. He told them, “These books are treasures of knowledge and they cannot say anything against the Holy Qur’an.

On the contrary the knowledge contained therein would act as commentaries of the Holy Book and would assist and help in further explanations of the knowledge as presented by the Holy Prophet. Knowledge is an asset for human beings and a birth right of man. It should not be destroyed.”

It was 19th of Ramadan 41 Hijri while ‘Ali (as) was leading the morning prayers and was in the second Sajdah of the 2nd Rakaat that Ibne Muljim’s sword fell and the life of the greatest warrior saint was taken away to his merciful Lord.

The famous christian writer of Lebanon George Jurdaq writes in his books on ‘Ali (as) that with this one blow of the sword of Ibne Muljim the world was deprived of the person who, if had lived a few more years would have given the world a system of administration that future generations would have benefited for a long time to come.”

In fact the letter to his Governor of Egypt Malike Ashter advising him of the “Do’s and Don’ts for a successful administration of the State is the hall mark in the annals of history”. We can only say that ‘Ali’s supreme wisdom provides the guidance of a stature that mankind can aspire to.

‘Ali (as) injured with the wound from the poisonous sword lived for two days. In these two days he dictated his Will and last testament to his son Hasan (as) which is again a brilliant part of literary history.

He advised his eldest son to love God and obey Him and to live for the service of the people in the way of God. “And then do not forget to set apart the best of your time for communion with God, although every moment of yours is for Him, provided it is spent sincerely in the service of your people.”

‘Ali’s (as) sermons, collected by Sayyid Razi in the 4th century (AH) are the examples of the most brilliant piece of Arabic literature that after the Holy Qur’an and the authentic Hadith of the Prophet of Islam, ever produced.

What Sayyid Razi could compile in Nahjul Balagha does not contain all the Sermons, letters and sayings of ‘Ali (as) . Masoodi (d.346) in his famous book of history Muruj-al-Zahab says that the only Sermons of ‘Ali, (as) which have been preserved by various people, number more than 480.

These were extempore orations, people have copied them from one another and compiled them in the book forms’ they have cited them and quoted passages from them in their books. The famous companion and pupil of ‘Ali (as) Hasan al Basri had made such arrangements that one of his own friends would memorize the sermons delivered in the mosque of Kufa and relate the same in the next Friday prayer in Basra. This shows the deep interest people of his own time had in these sermons and sayings.

Apparently out of these 480 sermons some were lost and Sayyid Razi could lay hands on only 245 sermons. Besides them he has collected about 75 letters and 489 sayings. Almost every one of the sermons, sayings and letters collected in Nahjul Balagha is to be found books of authors who died long before Sayyid Raza was even born.

Here we quote a few selected sayings of ‘Ali (as) from Nahjul Balagha, The numbers given as they appear in the English translation by Sayyid ‘Ali Raza from Pakistan.

1. During civil disturbance be like an adolescent camel that has neither a back strong enough for riding nor udders for milking.”( 1, page 568)

2. He who adopts greed as a habit devalues himself, he who discloses his hardship agrees to humiliation, and he who allows his tongue to overpower his Nafs debases the Nafs.(2 page 569)

5. Knowledge is a venerable estate, good manners are new dresses and thinking is a clear mirror. ( 5, page 569)

7. Charity is an effective cure, and actions of people in their present life will be before their eyes in the next life.( 7, page 570)

10.Meet people in such a manner that if you die they should weep for you and if you live they should long for you.( 10, page 571)

27." Keep walking in your sickness as long as you can."(27, page 576)-A simple cure through exercise and ignoring the sickness as much as possible)

31. Faith stands on four supports: on endurance, conviction, justice and Jihad.(31 page 576)

40. The tongue of the wiseman is behind his heart and the heart of the fool is behind his tongue.(40 page 579)

45. Even if I strike the nose of a believer with this sword for hating me, he will not hate me, and even if I pile all the wealth of the world before a hypocrite for loving me he will not love. This is because it is pronounced by the tongue of the beloved Prophet. O’’Ali, a believer will never hate you and a hypocrite (Muslim) will never love you.( 45 page 580)

54. There is no wealth like wisdom, no destitution like ignorance, no inheritance like refinement and no support like consultation.(54 page 584)

64. The people of the world are like travelers who are being carried while asleep. 64, page 584)

67. Do not feel ashamed for giving little, because refusal is smaller than that.( 67, page 584)

90. The perfect jurist of Islam is he who does not let people lose hope from the mercy of Allah, does not make him despondent of Allah’s kindness and does not make him feel safe from Allah’s punishment.( 90 page 589)

117. Two categories of persons will face ruin on account of me; he who loves me with exaggeration and he who hates me intensely. (117 page 594)

146. Protect your belief by charity, guard your wealth by paying Allah’s share, and ward off the waves of calamity by praying.(146 page 600)

334. Beware of disobeying Allah in solitude, for the witness is also the judge.(334. page 648)

The famous French historian and Orientalist Gabriel Enkiri writes in his famous book ‘Le chevalier de Islam’, In the extremely superfine, grand and noble character of ‘Ali, there were two traits which, it is difficult to believe that can be united in one man.

Besides ‘Ali, history cannot show any other man who has displayed these two qualities at one and the same time, and each one, in such a marked way that none can surpass him.

1. He was the greatest marshal of his time (even of all time) and , 2. He was the wisest man who could explain and expound religion, philosophy, science, sociology and ethics, in a style which was not and which cannot be improved; what is more, he was such a great speaker that his speeches enchant you even fourteen centuries after his death”.

Read the book called Nahjul Balagha and find out yourself.

DEATH OF #AISHA

اَللّٰھُمَّ الْعَنْ صَنَمَیْ قُرَیْشٍ وَ جِبْتَیْھَا وَ طَاغُوْتَیْھَا وَ اِفْكَیْھَا وَ اِبْنَتَیْھَا...

"O Allah! Curse the two Idols of Quraish and their two Jibt & Taghoot, their two accusers and *their two Daughters.....

(Dua-e-Sanam e Quraish)

**********************************

Aisha died at her home in Medina on 17 Ramazan 58 AH (16 July 678). She was 67 years old. Some such as Sibt ibn al-Jawzi, Hakim Sanai, and Khwaja Mehboob Qasim Chishti Muhsarafee Qadiri say that she was murdered by #Muawiyah.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki

(Aisha - Wikipedia)

Incident:

"#Moaviya invited Ayesha for Dinner, and he got a ditch dug in the ground, filling it up with sharp knives and swords, with their blades facing upwards. According to Allama Ibn Khaldoon, Moaviya masked that ditch with lanky pieces of wood, and spread a carpet on top of it all to camouflage it. He placed a wooden chair over it for Ayesha to sit. No sooner Ayesha sat on the chair, the whole set up retrieved and she fell in the pit, injuring herself from head to toe, and breaking a lot of bones. To hide his felony, Moaviya got the ditched filled up with lime. That is how he murdered Ayesha; she was sixty four years old when Moaviya murdered her towards the end of 57 Hijri. This proves, without a doubt, that Moaviya was an enemy of Prophet Mohammed (pbuh), and he proved his enmity towards the Prophet (pbuh) by murdering his (pbuh) wife. The only reason that Moaviya performed this heinous act was that Ayesha stopped him from making fun of Islam from the pulpit of Masjid-e-Nabvi. This is why no one knows the exact location of Ayesha’s grave in Medina."

He killed the Mother of the Believers Ayesha in cold blood after ordering the killing of her brother Muhammad bin Abu Bakar. He was also responsible for the killings of many other companions of the Prophet (pbuh) including Hajar bin Adi and Ammar Yasir.

Following the death of Muhammad bin Abu Bakr the people of Egypt gave Bai'at to Muaweyah. It was following this (event) that Ummul Mu'mineen Ayesha would curse Moaviya and Amr bin Aas after every Namaz.

Sipah e Sahaba and other Wahabi scum have introduced Muaweyah as a companion of the Prophet (pbuh) using narrations fabricated by Moaviya and his filthy descendants.

One very clever move by the Wahabis was to declare Moaviya a scribe (Kaatib e Wahy) who wrote down the revelations of Allah's Messenger.

All praise be to Allah Ta'ala the leading Sunni scholars realising this conspiracy of the Wahabis, have declared all hadith praising Moaviya as fabricated.

Not a single hadith in praise of Moaviya is Sahih (authentic)

Many classical Sunni scholars whilst listing those individuals honored as writer of the revelation did not count Moaviya. For evidence see the following texts:

Dalam pembacaan, rasanya aku sudah mencapai tahap di mana buku yang berbentuk aneka rencana seperti ini tidak lagi mampu memberikan aku kepuasan intelektual. Ia sekarang menjadi tidak lebih sekadar bacaan santai untuk aku mengisi masa lapang saja.

Minat aku sekarang bertumpu kepada buku-buku yang mempunyai isi perbahasan yang berfokus. Buku yang membahaskan suatu tema atau permasalahan tertentu lalu memecahkannya kepada beberapa bab atau bahagian dengan huraian yang komprehensif. Tidak semestinya buku saja, kertas kerja atau jurnal juga termasuk.

Kalau boleh aku berikan contoh, antaranya buku seperti Atas Nama Kebenaran tulisan Dr. Khalif Muammar. Ia merupakan kumpulan kertas kerja yang topik perbahasannya menyentuh mengenai masalah liberalisme yang membadai pemikiran umat Islam. Antara yang lain adalah seperti Liberty, Equality and Justice in Islam tulisan Prof. Hashim Kamali. Buku yang membahaskan pemikiran Islam melibatkan tiga topik besar yang terangkum dalam judul.

Buku-buku seperti ini memberikan kita penumpuan dalam pembacaan. Membawa kita masuk ke dalam flow kerana dari awal sampai akhir ia membicarakan masalah yang sama. Semakin jauh semakin kita menerjah ke dasarnya. Berbanding buku yang berisi pelbagai tajuk rencana yang sekadar memberi kita maklumat secara permukaan, lalu akhirnya meninggalkan kita dengan lebihan rasa ingin tahu.

Tetapi membaca buku ilmiah memerlukan tumpuan yang serius. Sedangkan aku yang sekarang bekerja dari pukul 9.00 pagi sampai 10.00 malam, manakan mampu mencari masa. Masa lapang yang ada hanya diisi dengan rehat. Maka buku-buku santai seperti ini sajalah yang layak menjadi peneman.

Những bức tranh thu nhỏ là một trong nhiều điều khiến người Ấn Độ tự hào về di sản văn hóa phong phú của đất nước mình. Những bức tranh thu nhỏ có nguồn gốc từ lâu trong lịch sử Ấn Độ. Tranh Ấn Độ có thể được phân loại rộng rãi như tranh tường và tiểu cảnh. Tranh tường là những công trình khổng lồ được thực hiện trên các bức tường của các cấu trúc vững chắc, như trong hang động Ajanta và đền Kailashnath.

Những bức tranh thu nhỏ được thực hiện ở quy mô rất nhỏ trên vật liệu dễ hỏng như giấy và vải. Palas of Bengal là những người tiên phong của bức tranh thu nhỏ ở Ấn Độ. Nghệ thuật thi công sân thể thao giá rẻ  thu nhỏ đạt đến vinh quang trong thời kỳ Mughal. Truyền thống của các bức tranh thu nhỏ được các họa sĩ của các trường phái Rajasthani khác nhau như Bundi, Kishangarh, Jaipur, Marwar và Mewar tiếp tục phát triển. Các bức tranh Ragamala cũng thuộc về trường này.

Những bức tranh thu nhỏ của Ấn Độ nổi tiếng trên toàn thế giới vì vẻ đẹp, sự tinh tế và chi tiết hoàn hảo. Lịch sử của các bức tranh thu nhỏ của Ấn Độ có thể được bắt nguồn từ thế kỷ 6-7 sau Công nguyên, thời điểm đó, khi Kashmiri thu nhỏ lần đầu tiên đánh dấu sự xuất hiện của chúng. Những bức tranh thu nhỏ đã phát triển qua nhiều thế kỷ mang theo ảnh hưởng của các nền văn hóa khác. Các nghệ sĩ thu nhỏ đã tự thể hiện trên giấy, tấm ngà, máy tính bảng bằng gỗ, da, đá cẩm thạch, vải và tường.

Một số bức tranh thu nhỏ đặc biệt bao gồm các bản thảo minh họa của người Jain và Phật tử, sự ra hoa của các tiểu cảnh Mughal, Rajput và Deccan.

Chủ đề của bức tranh nghệ thuật thu nhỏ.

Sau triều đại Mughal, kéo dài 200 năm, đến phần thứ hai của thế kỷ 18, Rajput Maharajahs trở nên độc lập. Họ đã thuê những nghệ sĩ có tay nghề cao này để thay thế các nghệ nhân của chính họ, dẫn đến một kiểu phục hưng hội họa ở miền bắc Ấn Độ. Toàn bộ Rajasthan chia thành nhiều quốc gia hoàng tử, bức tranh nghệ thuật thu nhỏ được bảo trợ. Những tiểu bang này đã phát triển một phong cách đặc trưng của riêng họ. Những bức tranh thời kỳ này có phong cách độc đáo của riêng họ, bị ảnh hưởng bởi môi trường xung quanh - các sa mạc, hồ, đồi và thung lũng, như trường hợp có thể. những bức tranh mô tả cảnh săn bắn và tòa án, lễ hội, đám rước, đời sống động vật và chim, và những cảnh trong Raagmala và Raaslila - câu chuyện cuộc đời Lord Lordna.

Bức tranh Mughal

Tranh Mughal là một phong cách đặc biệt của thi cong san the thao gia re hội họa Ấn Độ, thường được giới hạn trong các hình minh họa trên cuốn sách và được thực hiện trong các tiểu cảnh, và đã xuất hiện, phát triển và hình thành trong thời kỳ của Đế chế Mughal thế kỷ 16-19). Các bức tranh Mughal là sự pha trộn độc đáo của phong cách Ấn Độ, Ba Tư và Hồi giáo. Bởi vì các vị vua Mughal muốn ghi lại hình ảnh về hành động của họ như thợ săn và người chinh phục, nên các nghệ sĩ của họ đi cùng họ trong các cuộc thám hiểm quân sự hoặc các nhiệm vụ của nhà nước, hoặc ghi lại năng lực của họ như những kẻ giết động vật, hoặc miêu tả chúng trong các nghi lễ lớn của các cuộc hôn nhân ... tập trung chủ yếu vào các cảnh tòa án, chân dung hoàng gia, cảnh thiên nhiên và phong cảnh.

Akbar (1556-1605) là người bắt đầu khuyến khích nghệ sĩ Mughal. Sau khi ông củng cố quyền lực chính trị của mình, ông đã xây dựng một thủ đô mới tại Fatehpur Sikri, nơi ông đã thu thập các nghệ sĩ từ Ấn Độ và Ba Tư. Hơn một trăm họa sĩ đã được tuyển dụng, hầu hết trong số họ là người Ấn giáo đến từ Gujarat, Gwalior và Kashmir. Họ làm việc dưới hai nghệ sĩ bậc thầy Ba Tư Abdus Samad và Mir Sayyid Ali, nhưng họ được khuyến khích và truyền cảm hứng bởi Akbar.

Sau anh, Jehangir khuyến khích các nghệ sĩ vẽ chân dung và cảnh Durbar. Họa sĩ vẽ chân dung tài năng nhất của ông là Abul Hasan và Bishan Das. Shah Jahan (1627-1658) tiếp tục sự bảo trợ của hội họa. Một số nghệ sĩ nổi tiếng của thời kỳ này là Mohammad Faqirullah Khan, Mir Hashim, Muhammad Nadir, Bichitr, Chitarman, Anupchhatar, Manohar và Honhar. Aurangzeb không có khiếu thẩm mỹ. Do thiếu các nghệ sĩ bảo trợ di cư đến thành phố Hyderabad ở Deccan và đến các bang Rajasthan của Ấn Độ giáo để tìm kiếm những người bảo trợ mới.
