Professor Ahmad Rafique Akhtar is a distinguished Muslim scholar of Modern Era. The enlightenment of his thoughts has heralded the dawn of a new age in the present world. Due to his acquaintance with books, intricate queries in his wits; he studied literature, philosophy, Mythologies and all contemporary subjects during his student life. His tendency of intensive study led him to think profoundly about God. This inquisitiveness of mind continued its progress towards the logical end. He was gifted with a philosophical approach which is not satisfied without scrutinizing the process of intellectual capacity, objectively according to scientific principles. At the stage of his career choice, his exuberance and intelligence reached its pinnacle when he was faced with the most problematical query of its nature," Does God exist or Does he not ", "Am I free or to be accountable in front of an unseen divine force."

He started the journey of his mental investigation from doubt and denial. The center of attention and the direction of his study and meditation took eight years of his life; he dedicated all his investigation and struggle to find a reason to deny the existence of God. His thesis was very simple, if a man commits thousands of mistakes he still remains a human being, but if we find even one mistake of God, He can not be a God. Thus he declared the criterion to find God; he had to uncover only one error in God's words," The Quran". All his explorations, scientific investigations and academic researches and findings were rendered futile when he found that his efforts lead him to the confirmation of the Quran and existence of God. Consequently he made God his first and foremost priority. He was already a teacher but the focus of his teaching had now diverted to his findings about God. He believes that God has to be the top priority of every single intellectual curiosity.

Personal Agenda of Professor Ahmad Rafique Akhtar

#Professor #Ahmad #Rafique #Akhtar has no personal agenda, like most scholars do. You cannot blame him for teaching ‘his way’. He has no way other than Islam. He borrowed knowledge from Quran and Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The rules, he is practicing are visible inside the Quran and the Hadith. These rules are simple and straightforward; His first rule;

God is the top priority of intellectual curiosity.

To explain it, I don’t need books to explore or philosophers to consult. Simply it is the translation of

“La elaha Illa Allah” (There is no god but God)

The only way to approach God is the ‘middle way’.

The middle way is known as ‘aitdaal’. It is a Prophetic way of living a life according to God’s demand. When a person lives under ‘atidaal’, or ‘normalcy’, he is living the best life. This is the way of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Prophet told us to choose the ‘middle way’. He said; if you can’t then try to remain closer to the middle way. Again Professor has nothing to do with this rule, as this rule is borrowed from Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

To assure that you are following the ‘middle way’, also to assure that you are not distracted, you need to TASBIH (remembrance of God) daily.

Tasbih, or to remember God as the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) told taught us. He taught us supplications in a book collected “Hisn-e-Hasin”. Quran is full of supplications of the Prophets. It is the way of God to remind a human being, that whenever you remember me I will remember you. The remembrance of God according to Prophetic teachings is mandatory. Without ‘Tasbih’, hearts remain barren. There are a lot of Hadiths and Quranic verse in favour of ‘Tasbih’. Professor again borrowed the rule of remembering God from the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

He is totally KHAYR AND BARAKAT. His aim to motivate people in the way of God towards God is as pure as Fresh River. I have heard people blaming ‘good people’. He is a good person and he needs no praise from people because praise came from God. When God loves someone, he orders angels to praise a man, God loves. That’s how people on earth start praising the person, whom God loves.

The professor is so clean to contradict that once a governing body of ISI came to see him, while he was sitting among students. During their meeting, a student asked; Prof, the last blast killed more than 80 people. I have heard, ISI is behind it. Professor’s intentions were so clear that he replied; yes we make mistakes sometimes. He didn’t care some guy is sitting there, he may feel awkward, but he tells the truth to his disciple. That kind of character is rare. People, who don’t know him, don’t understand him. He deserves attention. If someone pays no attention to what Professor is teaching and doing, and start blaming him, is a liar. Every teacher needs your attention. It is your duty to investigate him either he is a good guy or a shepherd in the skull of a sheep. To do so, you have to sit with him, talk to him.

I was reading a book on Molana Modudi. After reading a few pages, I told my friend that I don’t like Modudi; he was this or that type of person. My friend asked; have you studied Modudi in detail? I replied; No.

Then you should, because without reading him, without knowing him, you can’t blame him.

This is our fault. We blame people without knowing a single word about him. We know people from people. We don’t directly judge people. We claim, there is no time to waste, while we are wasting time. To know a good person and to waste time knowing a good person isn’t a waste of time.

Waste your time with Professor Ahmad Rafique Akhtar, and Allah will never let you waste your life.

A Mystic Teacher of Islam-in Pakistan

Professor Ahmad Rafique Akhtar is a simple, surprisingly outstanding scholar, mystic and thinker of our time. You may counter my statement by saying that, ‘we haven’t heard his name’. Well, hearing a name and living with a person are two different things, the following is another. He is a scholar of Islam, Mysticism, and Psychology. Still not satisfied with my statement? Let me elaborate it a little more…

Noam Chomsky is a known political philosopher. Why he is so known to the world because he is writing articles over the current issues daily or weekly. He is giving lectures to the public and private places. His theories may or may not be correct, that’s our case of judgment, but we know him because he is teaching.

Professor Ahmad Rafique Akhtar is a teacher mystic. A teacher mystic and a mystic are two different personalities. There are mystics in our society, around the corner we can find some mystic there, but there are no ‘mystic teachers’ in our society, or if there is, then he must be one. That’s the law. Mystic teachers are not many at a time, rather they are few or limited to 1. He is that 1 in the whole society of Islam. Let me explain my case, before you through judgment over it.

If you are reading this, then you have met a lot of teachers in university, public places. Teachers teach and they don’t want you to follow their footsteps. If they teach psychology, then they must teach you to follow some patterns of psychology that they are following or they have studied. You can follow a teacher, but not his character. Prof. is a different thing. He is a mystery, you can follow his character, but it is clean and pure as water. He teaches you but doesn’t force to accept his ideas, rather he left you with choices. He won’t say, be humble, be superior, be good, doesn’t be angry, rather he says; follow the footsteps of your Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and everybody who is following has different results. If one person took three years to get rid of anger, maybe another person can take a year. The capacity is within you. You cannot share your capacity.

When you ask him; Should I follow a religion? He answers in a polite way; No, If you don’t have the capacity and courage to find God. God is the essence of life and death. If you don’t feel attraction towards God, then religion is nothing. Without God, religion is nothing.

If you ask; If I follow God, should I need to follow him blindly? He will reply; Don’t follow God or his words blindly. If you are a donkey, then follow him blindly. If you are a man, then use your intellect and reason.

Intellect in the way of God? Don’t be shocked, as Professor says; I find God with intellect. Without intellect/reason there is no God and God don’t need followers, he needs men of wisdom, who seek God with laborious knowledge and learning.

What is the main reason of sleep paralysis ?

جواب : دیکھو۔۔ نیند میں ہماری روح وقتی طور پر جسم سے جدا ہوتی ہے قرآن میں اللّٰه کہتا ہے جس کو دوبارہ زندہ رکھنا ہوتا ہے ہم اس کو دوبارہ موڑ دیتے ہیں ۔۔۔۔

اس کے دو پہلو ہیں ایک (local) لوکل جدائی ہوتی ہے اور ایک permanent جدائی ہوتی ہے۔۔۔مرتا کوئی بھی نہیں ہے۔۔۔۔ اس وقت اگر آپ کی عمر تیتس سال ہے تو اصل میں آپ کی عمر 4.50 ارب اور چھتیس ہزار سال ہے۔۔۔ زمین کے پیدا ہونے سے پہلے آپ کو تخلیق کیا گیا ہے۔۔ وہ جمع ہی نہیں کرتے آپ۔۔۔۔اس لیے آپ ہر وقت اپنے آپ کو بچہ سمجھتے رہتے ہیں۔

ایک بڑے ہال میں ایک بچہ رو رہا تھا ۔۔۔ماں کبھی ادھر بہلاتی کبھی ادھر۔۔۔۔۔ میں نے کہا تو فکر ہی نہ کر۔۔۔یہ تجھ سے زیادہ بڑی عمر کا ہے ۔۔۔۔۔اس عمر کو کبھی کوئی بندہ نہیں مانتا یہ ٹرانسفرنس ہوتی ہے۔۔۔۔

پانچ ارب سال والا بندہ کیسے مر سکتا ہے 70 سال میں ادھر۔۔۔ یہ transference ہوتی ہے پہلے اُدھر تھے اب اِدھر آ گئے۔۔۔۔ تو یہ کافر بھی نہیں مرتا ورنہ دائمی عذاب کسے ہو گا۔۔۔ قبر کا عذاب کسے ہوگا۔۔۔۔ نہ کافر مرتاہے، نہ مسلمان مرتا ہے صرف کچھ لوگوں کے بدن محفوظ کر دئیے جاتے ہیں...

وہ کس لئے...؟ کہ ان کے بدن ان کی روح کے مطابق عمل کر رہے ہوتے ہیں ۔۔۔وہ خدا کو مان رہے ہوتے ہیں ، غلطیاں کم کر رہے ہوتے ہیں ،صدقات کر رہے ہوتے ہیں۔۔۔احسان کر رہے ہوتے ہیں۔ ان کے بدن بھی ان کی حفاظت کر رہے ہوتے ہیں ۔

Any body which acts according to his spiritual self.

اب آپ کیوں بچ گئے ہو پاکستان میں کرونا سے ۔۔۔؟ پتہ ہے۔۔؟

دو immunities ہوتی ہیں ۔۔۔ایک physical ہوتی ہے۔۔۔وہ ہم ساری دنیا کے ساتھ share کر رہے تھے۔۔۔ہم میں زیادہ نہیں تھی۔

ہمارے پاس دوسری immunity زیادہ تھی ۔۔۔

psychic immunity.....

ہم panic نہیں ہوئے... ہمارے لوگ تو ابھی بھی نہیں مانتے کہ کرونا تھا بھی سہی۔۔۔ مگر یورپ والے مانتے تھے وہاں سے ابھی بھی نہیں گیا ...پاکستان ڈھیٹ ملک ہے کیونکہ ہماری سائیکی نہیں مانتی کہ خدا کے ہوتے ہوئے ہمیں کوئی بلا آ سکتی ہے۔۔۔۔ تو ہم نے کیا کیا جو دوسروں نے نہیں کیا ...psychic کے ساتھ اس کا defence کیا ....

ہم بچ گئے.... انڈیا نہیں بچا ... Sub-continent کا مرض نہیں تھا ،مگر وہاں آج بھی 1200 ، 1400 روز مر رہے ہیں۔۔۔ امریکہ نہیں بچا.۔۔۔انگلینڈ نہیں بچا... کوئی ملک نہیں بچا ...صرف پاکستان بچا.... اس لیے کہ واپس آگئے توبہ تاِللّٰه کر ، صدقہ خیرات کر ۔۔۔

اگر خدا نہ ہوتا تو یہ نہ بچتے۔۔۔۔!
