Complete Taraveeh ki Soghat PDF (Urdu)

The holy month of Ramadan is only two weeks away and millions of Muslims throughout the globe are preparing to benefit from Allah’s blessings in this month by bracing themselves to fast, recite the Holy Quran, give charity, pay the obligatory zakaat on wealth, establish Qiyam-ul-Lail (Taraveeh) at night hours and do good deeds.

For the followers of Sunni madhab in all four schools, Taraveeh prayers are offered in congregation after Isha prayers from the eve of Ramadan until the end of the blessed month. Number of rakaats varies from 8 to 12 to 20. These are, however, not obligatory. In countries where Arabic is not spoken, most Muslims who attend Taraveeh prayers in mosques are unfortunately not able to understand the meaning of the Quranic surahs recited in the Qiyam.

Mr Syed Basheeruddin Zamani, may Allah grant him Jannat al Firdous, thought about this issue and wrote thirty short essays which attempt to capture what is recited in each Taraveeh prayer progressively in the month of Ramadan. Those who have read his essays have found these very helpful in understanding the themes Quran discusses in the 114 chapters. In fact, the reading of these essays has encouraged many people to read the Quran with translation. Some have also started reading a Tafseer of their choice to understand Allah’s message with authentic Ahadith and commentaries of scholars of Ilmul Kalam.

Taraveeh ki Soghat was first published in Urdu in Karachi in January 2005. Full Urdu text of the book in PDF format is provided here for the Urdu readers. Taraveeh ki Soghat[Urdu pdf]

اللہ تعالی ھمی اپنی آخرت کی فکر کرنے کی توفیق عطا فرمائے اور اس کی کمائ کے لیے ھمیں ھر دم مستعد رکھے۔  کتاب پڑھنے کے لیے اوپر بٹن کو ٹک کریں۔

Reflections on Death and Journey to the Hereafter

The reality of death and questions relating to what happens after death have fascinated man in every era and generation from the Pharaohs who built impressive pyramids for themselves to live in the company of the gods to modern times when occurrence of death has multiplied manifold and the graveyards and cemeteries in our cities have become fully overcrowded. Death is an inevitable passage everyone will walk through to get to the other aside but no one has ever been able to bypass it without a single exception.

In this book Ayatul Kitab (Safar-e-Akhirat) the author Mr Syed Basheeruddin Zamani, may Allah grant him Jannat al Firdous, discusses the theme of death and life-after-death from the Islamic perspective in the light of the information given to Muslims in the Holy Quran and elaborated by Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. The book was first published in Urdu in Karachi in January 2005.

Full Urdu text of the book in PDF format is provided here for Urdu readers.

Safar_e_Akhirat_Complete_PDF (Urdu)

سب جانتے ھیں کہ موت برحق ھے اور یہ بھی گردانتے ھیں کہ موت ایک ایسا راستہ ھے جو انسان کو اس فانی زندگی سے حیات جاودانی کی طرف لے جاتا ھے۔ لیکن اس کے باوجود موت ایک ایسا موضوع ھے جو ھماری گفتگو میں سب سے کم حصہ پاتا ھے اور جہاں تک قبر کے احوال یا ما بعد الموت کے مراحل کا تعلق ھے اس کے بارے میں ویسے بھی ھمیں بہت کم علم دیا گیا ھے اور جو دیا گیا ھے وہ بھی ھم جاننے کی کوشش نہیں کرتے ھیں۔ سید بشیر الدین صاحب نے اس کتاب میں اردو قارئین کے لیے بہت سادہ الفاظ میں اس موضوع پر قرآن اور سنت کی روشنی میں دل لبھادینے والی اور نصیحت سے بھر پور بحث کی ھے تاکہ ھر فرد جو اس دنیا سے ایک دن کوچ کرنے والا ھے وہ موت کی حقیقت سے روشناس ھو جائے اور  آخرت کی کمائ کرکے اپنی آنے والی ابدی زندگی سنوار لے۔ دیکھئے کتنی عجیب بات ھے کہ اس کتاب کے مصنف جنہوں نے یہ کتاب ۲۰۰۵ میں رقم کی تھی وہ ۲۰۱۹ میں پوری تیاری و رضا کے ساتھ اپنے رب سے جا ملے۔ اللہ تعالی ھمیں بھی اپنی آخرت کی فکر کرنے کی توفیق عطا فرمائے اور اس کی کمائ کے لیے ھمیں ھر دم مستعد رکھے۔

اللهم إنا نسألك
توبة قبل الموت
و شهادة عند الموت
و المغفرة بعد الموت
و صلى الله عليه وسلم وبارك على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين
امين يارب العالمين
