It asserts that the Prophet possesses unique qualities, such as being created from *Noor* (Light), possessing knowledge of the unseen (*Ilm-e-Ghaib*), and being *Haazir* and *Naazir* (present and witnessing). The text defends traditional practices—such as seeking intercession (*Wasila*), celebrating *Meelad-un-Nabi*, and reciting *Durood* aloud—by citing Qur'anic verses, Hadith, and the rulings of classical scholars. It explicitly refutes the ideologies of sects it identifies as corrupt, specifically naming *Wahabis*, *Deobandis*, and *Ghayr Muqallids*, characterizing their rejection of these beliefs as a departure from true faith. *** ## Key topics & takeaways ### The Nature of Allah * **Allah’s truthfulness** — the work holds that it is impossible for Allah to lie, as lying is a defect and Allah is free from all defects ([page 9](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=9)). * **Allah’s knowledge** — the work teaches that Allah’s knowledge is *Ilm-e-Zaati* (Self-Knowledge) and is not attained from any other source ([page 13](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=13)). ### The Nature of the Prophet * **The Prophet as Noor** — the work holds that the Prophet was created from the Light of Allah before all other creations ([page 17](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=17)). * **The Prophet’s uniqueness** — the work teaches that the Prophet is the most superior human and is not similar to ordinary humans in appearance or quality ([page 27](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=27)). * **The Prophet’s hearing** — the work holds that the Prophet can hear the *Durood* and *Salaam* of his followers from any distance ([page 53](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=53)). * **The Prophet as Benefactor** — the work teaches that the Prophet has been granted the power to grant benefits to his followers with the permission of Allah ([page 65](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=65)). * **The Prophet as Teacher** — the work holds that the Prophet is the teacher of the entire creation and was taught all languages by Allah ([page 83](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=83)). * **The Prophet’s life** — the work asserts that the Prophet is alive in his grave and is not dead in the worldly sense ([page 147](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=147)). * **Haazir and Naazir** — the work holds that the Prophet is present and witnessing the deeds of his Ummah ([page 155](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=155)). ### Practices and Intercession * **Intercession (*Shafa'at*)** — the work teaches that the Prophet will intercede for his Ummah on the Day of Judgment with Allah’s permission ([page 41](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=41)). * **Mediation (*Wasila*)** — the work holds that seeking mediation through the Prophet and the *Awliyah* is permissible and supported by the Qur'an ([page 71](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=71)). * **Naming conventions** — the work holds that keeping names like *Ghulam Mustafa* or *Abdun Nabi* is permissible and a means of blessing ([page 49](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=49)). * **Seeking assistance** — the work teaches that it is permissible to seek help from the *Awliyah Allah* as they are helpers appointed by Allah ([page 59](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=59)). * **Zikr after Salaah** — the work holds that reciting *Zikr* aloud after *Salaah* is a Sunnah practice and not an innovation ([page 95](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=95)). * **Dua after Janaazah** — the work teaches that making *Dua* after *Janaazah Salaah* is permissible and beneficial ([page 101](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=101)). * **Kissing hands and feet** — the work holds that kissing the hands and feet of the pious is a Sunnah practice out of respect ([page 109](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=109)). * **Meelad-un-Nabi** — the work holds that celebrating the Prophet’s birthday is a means of attaining blessings and is not a prohibited innovation ([page 117](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=117)). * **Khatm Shareef** — the work teaches that holding *Khatm Shareef* gatherings is a blessed action ([page 129](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=129)). * **Durood before/after Azaan** — the work holds that reciting *Durood* before and after the *Azaan* is desirable and lawful ([page 137](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=137)). * **Kissing thumbs** — the work holds that kissing the thumbs upon hearing the Prophet’s name in the *Azaan* is a practice that prevents blindness ([page 141](https://noorenabi.org/knowledge-base/k-proper-sunni-beliefs-2013-final?page=141)). --- From the Noor E Nabi library.
