Is blog pe apne aik teacher Sir Aleem ka aksar zikar kiya hai.
(Ab is duniya main nahi rahe - Allah jannat naseeb kare).
Aik din woh hume Surah Ahad parah rahe the - us waqt rawani main unhoN ne '2 lines' kahi thiN magar mujeh yaad reh gaiN - aur zindagi bhar bohat kaam aayi
Pehli baat to unhoN ne ye kahi - ke Khuda aik nahi hai - kiunke aik to adad (number) hai - limited hai - Khuda 'yagana' (unique) hai - khuda 'yakta' (matchless) hai - us ke jesa koi nahi - woh benazeer hai. Woh aksar Ghalib ka ye shyr phaRte
use kaun dekh saktā ke yagāna hai woh yaktā
jo duī kī bū bhī hotī, to kahīñ do chaar hotā
Dusri baat unhoN ne kahi ke - log kehte hain ke Dine-Ibrahimi wale sab monotheist hain. Woh kehte the: Ye galat statement hai.
Hum 'Monorealist' hain.
Mujeh nahi pata: 'Monorealism' ka asli urdu lafz kiya hoga magar woh aese hai ke - wahi aik haqiqat hai
- Sab kuch usi aik zaat ka la-mehdood pehlawa hai

Forgive me but I will be criticising your teacher. What he is saying is Soofi expression and it is right but he is mixing the meaning of Ahad and Wahid. Wahid is Adad but Ahad is not. It is very similar to
Laisa kamithlihee shay-in (Nothing is like him or nothing can be matched unto him) which is the meaning of the last aya of Sura Ikhlas also
Wa lam yakun lahoo kufuwan ahad
Actually Ahad in Arabic is more like "Yakta" (Remember what Bilal RA was saying when beaten by his master "Ahad, AHad, Ahad - he was not saying wahid)
Lastly when Allah Himself says He is Ahad I would be very reluctant to say He is not ahad. I have no problem saying "He is not Wahid" (in that soofi sense)
Monorealism is beyond my comprehension but it reminds me of
Kabhi ay haqiqat-e-muntazar nazar aa libas=e-majaz men
keh hazaron sajday tarap rahay hen meri jabin-e-Niaz men
Uncle :: I agree with you.
Personally, I think monorealism is just a stretched concept to fulfill the need of some some sufi theologies.
I would agree with your teacher, with or without the alleged Sufi baggage. His point hints towards the classical realist/ nominalist divide. May Allah grant him Jannah.
I agree with bsc ....
uff mystic bhai ab Ap k utadh sahib ko mein kia kahon wo janay aur Allah janay - Dua hai kah Allah hum sab k sath acha mamla karay unkay samait...
But seriously ..ye so called Sufism in fact aik deviant cult sa lagta ab... jiski shroAat tou shaid sahih rahi ho gee magar ab aik fashion bun chukka hai ... issay mujahy Ab kuch chir see honay lagi hai, too many concepts are too vague ..jinka kuch bhi matlab nikal lo apni Aqal aur soch k lehaz say..aur her dosra banda samjhta hai wo sufi hai Allah ki kitab ko ghore say parhay bina... baqi ALLAH O ALAM !
Mein ki tay meri majal ki ...Allah meray samait hum sabko hidayat dey .. we all need it !
Asim :: welcome
Books n S: :) and Aameen
Bsc Uncle I am really from you .....
The difference between Wahid and Ahad:
1. Ahad is used exclusively in the Negative sense only. Wahid is used in the Positive sense only.
i.e. Laysa ahad mawjoodan fee al masjid – there is not One person in the Mosque [it is empty].
Laysa wahid mawjoodan fee al masjid – there is not One in the Mosque [but there are a lot (more than one) people in the Mosque].
وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَدًا ……wa la yushriku bi ‘ibadatihee Ahada –
“and no-One should associate partners with Him in worship.” [al Kahf 18:110]
However, we notice that Allah uses the word Ahad in ayah 1 of Surah al Ikhlas, to describe Himself.
This is strange, because Ahad is usually only used in the negative. This Ahad is used to show that there is a uniqueness of the usage of this word when describing Allah – now in the positive sense instead of the negative.
By Allah using Ahad, He is implying affirmation to His Oneness, and there being none similar to Him in that Oneness.
Amazing: There is no Arabic literature which ever uses the word Ahad by itself in a positive way – except for Surah al Ikhlas.
2 – The other form of ‘Ahad’ is used in Iddaafa form i.e. ‘One of…’ Ahad al Muslimeen (one of the Muslims) etc.
So this Ahad can only be used in a positive way if another set of words are attached to it.
Ahad comes from – Wahd/Wahada –
Wahd وحد (waw, ha, daal) – one who is individual by himself, his tribe/lineage/origin is not known.
Allah did not use that word for Himself because He does not want to make Himself similar to humans in attributes.
Raghib al Isfahani in Mufradaat al Qur’an says,
“Ahad is a separate word which implies; That One cannot have any comparison, a sole unique entity who does not have an equal or competitor in any way. He does not have a 2nd or affiliate.”
So Ahad is different to Wahid.
The people of other religions believe in God as One (this is Wahid), but they always make the mistake of giving Him attributes of the creation. It is only when you disassociate Allah’s attributes from similarity to the creation that you can believe Allah is Ahad (Unique in His Oneness).
A strong Theme in this Surah is that Everything about Allah is Unique in His Oneness.
This is why all the attributes of Allah in this surah are Unique for Allah Himself.
(i.e. Allah, ahad, as-Samad, lam yaLid, lam yuWlad).
