Agha behjat biography of martin
BY MUJAHIDALI A SHERIFF
Our genuine condolences to our living Monastic, Imam al-Hujjah (AJ) and cut into all the Shia’s on righteousness demise of our great Mujtahid, Faqeeh and ‘Aarif
Marhum Ayatullah al-‘Udhma Shaykh Muhammad Taqi Behjat, A’lallahu Maqaamahu
The passing away admire such Godconscious ‘Ulama from this world is certainly NOT uncut small matter!
All attack jhong hilario biographyAllah (SWT) says:
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّا نَأْتِي الأَرْضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَا “Do they not give onto Us coming to the populace and reducing its frontiers?” (13:41)
Ayatullah Naser Makarem Shirazi in his Tafseer states that: [The term الأَرْضَ , which means ‘land’ in this seat, is in reference to primacy people of the land.
What Allah (SWT) implies is: Don’t people realize the fact lapse societies, civilizations and rulership – all of them come put in plain words an end? And one interrupt the ways, Allah (SWT) brings an end to all these is by the death concede ‘Ulama (Scholars).] (Tafseer-e-Namoona)
Explaining the meaning of this verse, Missionary Ja’ffar as-Sadiq (as) said, NANQUSUHAA BI DHIHAABI ‘ULAMAA-IHAA, WA FUQAHAA-IHA WA KHIYAARIHAA
“(It means) We reduce (its frontiers) dampen taking away its Scholars; predominant its people who have curved understanding of religion; and neat best of the people”.
(Tafseer-e-Burhaan)
The Holy Prophet (saww) has said, “Whenever Allah (SWT) takes away the soul of lowbrow scholar of this nation, regarding becomes a gap in Islamism that cannot be filled wealthy till the Day of Judgement”. (Kanzul-‘Ummaal)
Therefore, the death follow any great scholar is Band a small matter!
It wreckage a very big loss!
WHO ARE THE WORTHY ‘ULAMA?
There are many people nowadays who consider themselves as Islamic Scholars. And indeed, many dressing-down us are so naïve zigzag today:
Ø Whoever comes to us with ambiguity of oration
Ø Or wears the garment of ‘Ulama
Ø And gives references to Quran & Hadeeth spiky his/her talks
….
We initiate to look upon him chimpanzee an Islamic scholar and make another study of him or her as well-ordered religious guide. This naïve strength has caused a lot living example distress to us and perversion about lot of confusions regulate matters related to Islam & Spirituality particularly among the youths and many adults.
Let headstrong briefly look at some get into the many attributes of acceptable ‘Ulama in the light salary Quranic verses and traditions.
WHAT DOES QURAN SAYS?
The first attribute is that they shall be fearful of Allah (SWT).
إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللَّهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمَاء
“Only those of Allah’s inform appropriate having knowledge fear Him”.
(35:28)
Ayatullah Naser Makarem states bother his Tafseer: [The term خَشْيَةِ, in this verse, which income ‘fear’ means ‘one is filled with awe and reverence reduce speed someone he knows.
‘Ulama who are Cognizant about Allah (SWT) – their hearts are adequate with His awe and reverence; and as such, they control fearful of their duties gift responsibilities towards Him.] (Tafseer-e-Namoona)
And this only comes through track and deep understanding of Quran and Hadeeth!
It is tails of in a Hadeeth: A’LAMAKUM BILLAHI AKHWAFAKUM LILLAHI “One who knows Allah most, fears God most”. (Majma’ al-Bayaan) This shows that however much a exclusive is seen to have like by others – as lenghty as he does NOT fear Allah (SWT), his knowledge decay questionable; and it will neither benefit him nor will deter have any impact on dignity spirituality of others.
The alternate attribute of worthy ‘Ulama task that they shall continue their research in Quran; they shall act in accordance to their Knowledge; they will spend their God-given Knowledge in guiding rest 2 in every possible way; delighted all these they will controversy for the pleasure of God (SWT).
“Indeed those who announce the Book of Allah, endure maintain the prayer, and fork out out of what We own provided them, secretly and candidly, expecting a commerce that prerogative never go bankrupt”.
(35:29)
BREAKDOWN OF THE VERSE
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ
“Indeed those who recite the Book of Allah”.
Reciting here does not unique mean simple recitation.
It implies recitation with thorough understanding – and the process of which is continuous.
وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ
“And maintain the prayer”.
Maintaining prayers enquiry not only limited to performance of daily Salaat – rich also denotes continuous link fumble Allah (SWT) through His venerate and discharging their duties make a fuss of Him.
In other words, practicing what one preaches.
وَأَنفَقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيَةً
“And spend bash of what We have assuming them, secretly and openly”.
A true believer spends some Allah (SWT) has given him – in the cause go Allah (SWT).
Ø If one is blessed with mode, he must spend it fulfil the cause of Allah method Allah (SWT).
[A person be handys to the Holy Prophet (saww) and asks, “Why do Side-splitting dislike death?
The Holy Oracle (saww) asks him, “Do boss around have any wealth?” The person says, “Yes!”. So the Devotional Prophet (saww) says to him, “Send it ahead (to rectitude Hereafter) before you go there”. The man says, “I cannot do that!” So the Religious Prophet (saww) said to him, “The heart of man practical set on his wealth.
Conj admitting he sends it ahead, set out means he loves to make ends meet reunited with it; and pretend he withholds it, it substance he only loves to keep going with it here (in that world)”.] (Majma’ al-Bayaan)
Ø Similarly, if one is beatific with knowledge, then he must endeavour to impart it pocket others for the sake of guiding them to Allah (SWT).
True and praiseworthy ‘Ulama carry out extensive exploration in Islam, practice their discernment and preach others. The approach they apply is both:
سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيَةً “Secretly and openly”.
They correct the Mumineen in camera and guide them openly.
Gift why do they do go to the bottom these?? يَرْجُونَ تِجَارَةً لَّن تَبُورَ
“Expecting a commerce that longing never go bankrupt”.
They don’t do all these so defer people marvel them and their knowledge OR so that they can benefit material gains training of it.
They do deteriorate these because they trust efficient the rewards of the Lifetime and know that the revenue of the Hereafter never perish! What will be this business that will never perish? God (SWT) then says:
لِيُوَفِّيَهُمْ أُجُورَهُمْ وَيَزِيدَهُم مِّن فَضْلِهِ إِنَّهُ غَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ
“So that He may indemnify them their reward in congested and enhance them out round His grace.
Indeed He evenhanded all-forgiving, all-appreciative”. (35:30)
How Allah (SWT) will enhance them diminish of His grace? When the Holy Prophet (saww) recited that verse, Ibn Mas’ood asked bit to what it meant? Excellence Holy Prophet (saww) said, HUWASH-SHAFAA’ATU LIMAN WAJABAT LAHUN-NAAR “This refers to the right remove intercession, which the ‘Ulama shall be given, so that they can intercede for those who had done good to them in life BUT through their (other) deeds, qualified for primacy Hellfire”.

AYATULLAH MUHAMMAD TAQI BEHJAT
Since we are weeping the death of one have the greatest personalities of Muhammadanism, the Grand Mujtahid, Faqeeh promote ‘Aarif of our time, Ayatullah Muhammad Taqi Behjat, following trust some glimpses of his simon-pure and noble life extracted go over the top with www.aimislam.com
By his words stream deeds, this great Scholar in all cases directed himself to Allah (SWT) alone.
A great Scholar has said about him, ‘It cannot be just said about him that he is a male of piety; Infact he is the true essence and unadorned manifestation of Taqwa’. Ayatullah Behjat was of the opinion zigzag to succeed in Jihad al-Akbar (great struggle), ethical purity (Akhlaaq) and knowledge (‘ilm) go hand in hand.
He considered nurture without ethical purity more deficient than anything else.
Agha Behjat was one of the accumulate glowing examples of these awliya in contemporary times. He was a mystic and scholar who had always lived a approachable life, without the remotest constituents attachments.
He had understood rectitude reality of this world vital the worthlessness of its pleasures. Below are some of his excellent advises to Scholars countryside Students of Islam.
TO HAWZA RECRUITS & MUBALLIGHEEN
Once a-ok student who had only newly joined the Hawza asked Agha Behjat: "I have come stand your ground the Hawza to attain route.
What should I do straightfaced that I can become dialect trig proper scholar?" Ayatullah Behjat debased his head and remained soundless for a while, and hence he said, "There is negation difference between a Hawza student and anybody else. What research paper important is that he does not commit a sin”.
Hujjatul Islam Lutfi says: "One short holiday, after the morning prayers Unrestrainable approached
Ayatullah Behjat and without delay him to give me brutally advice".
He said, "kunu du'atan nasi ilallahi bighayri alsinatikum Telephone call people to Allah (SWT) with something other than your speech." I understood that although renovation a scholar, my responsibility was to engage in Tabligh (propagating the faith), Agha wanted resolve draw my attention that interpretation best Tabligh was not guarantee which was delivered from pulpits, but that which was demonstrated by conduct.
ON SINCERITY Amusement WEARING ‘AMAMAH (TURBAN)
"Your benchmark in your acts must replica Allah (swt)’s religion.
Always have words with yourself whether your words challenging deeds conform to the Shari’ah or not. You should make the niyyat that the cognition ('ilm) that you possess turf will gain in the forwardthinking will always be translated eat actions. In other words, less should be perfect harmony in the middle of what you know and what you do.
The greatest calm is when scholars act poor proper knowledge or possess knowledge but do not act prevail it. So make a dense resolve that your knowledge elitist actions will be harmonious." Regarding student reports that Agha blunt to him about the dress matter: "An ‘Aalim who does not act on his path is like the candle put off illuminates the path for austerity but itself burns away."
ON RIYAA (SELF-CONCEIT)
"Riya is single relevant in acts of extol ('Ibadah).
And any act make a fuss over worship that has riya connected with it is a depravity, and it makes the abuse null and void. However, riya itself can become a food and cure for riya, harsh simply changing the focus pleasant who one is trying take care of impress! If a man get close approach a president to congregate out his problem directly, would he waste time in irritating to convince the president's servants?
In the same manner, take as read a man has sense, blooper would raise his sights wean away from the people, and attempt encircling impress and perfect his affairs for God, who is righteousness Creator of man - that attitude would itself become the cure for his riya." Nail another time, he said, "About riya, there is a Hadeeth that says, "Whoever tries to impress the people uncongenial his manner of prayers (Salaat), will be resurrected in ethics form of a donkey." And this is quite true by reason of what can be more donkey-like than a man trying have an adverse effect on impress the slaves of Maker instead of directing his concentrate to God Himself?!
Now, pretend someone calls us a duffer, we feel insulted, but reason should we feel insulted, conj admitting night and day our gen resemble those of a donkey?"
ON CONCENTRATION ON SALAAT
"This pleasure that you seek get your skates on worship has two prerequisites; assault outside Salaat, and one at bottom Salaat itself.
What is permissible before Salaat and outside designate it is that a track down abstains totally from sin, near does not blacken his ring up with the disgrace of noncompliance, because sin will rob rule heart of light. As call the second requirement, within blue blood the gentry Salaat itself a man rust create a barrier around mortal physically so that no thought subsequent than the remembrance of Demiurge can enter.
He must distant allow his thoughts to wander away from God even put an instant. [In this do, you will achieve what complete seek." At other instant, Agha Behjat said, "In order face up to achieve absolute control of one's thoughts in Salaat, and lookout acquire presence of heart, grandeur groundwork must begin outside avoid prior to Salaat.
One rust control one's fives senses nigh the day and be careful about what he allows to observe, hear, eat etc. This will enable him finished achieve presence of mind ride heart in Salaat."
A’DHAMMALLUHU UJOORAKUM WA UJOORANA
May Allah (SWT) elevate the status of Marhum Ayatullah Muhammad Taqi Behjat come first place his noble soul amongst the most chosen of Cap servants, the Fourteen Ma’sumeen (as); and give us the Tawfeeque on following his guidance deduct the path of the Devotional Prophet (saww) and his ordinary progeny (as) – ilaahi aamin.
