Class 10 Islamiat Chapter 6 Complete Guide Book — Hidayat ke Sarchashme aur Mashahir Islam | PunjabTest.com

Hazrat Imam Zain-ul-Abideen (RA) — Ali ibn Husain — was the son of Hazrat Imam Husain (RA) and grandson of Hazrat Ali (RA). He is called Zain-ul-Abideen (adornment of the worshippers) and Sajjad (one who prostrates much) because of his extraordinary worship, patience and humility. After Karbala, he lived a life of quiet devotion, teaching through character: he freed slaves, fed the poor secretly at night, and forgave those who wronged him. His life teaches that real strength is patience and worship after tragedy, not revenge.

Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz (RA) was the Umayyad Khalifa remembered as the “Fifth Rightly Guided Khalifa” because of his justice. Though he inherited a luxurious court, he gave up its luxuries, returned wrongfully taken property, and lived simply. He fixed salaries, protected non-Muslims' rights, and is famous for ordering the official collection of Hadith (see Bab 1). His short rule (99–101 Hijri) is remembered as a golden example that a ruler's piety can reform a whole state.

Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah (RA) was a young Companion from Madinah who narrated a large number of Ahadith and took part in many Ghazwat, including the pledge of Bay'at-e-Rizwan. His father Abdullah (RA) was martyred at Uhud, leaving debts — and the Prophet ﷺ himself helped Jabir (RA) with his father's debts and prayed for blessing in his affairs. Jabir (RA) lived long and taught Hadith to the next generation (Tabi'een), becoming a bridge between the Prophet's ﷺ time and later scholars.

Hazrat Anas bin Malik (RA) served the Prophet ﷺ for ten years from childhood — the answer to Bab 3's MCQ (i). He narrated a very large number of Ahadith because he lived in the Prophet's ﷺ household and observed his daily life closely. The Prophet ﷺ prayed for him: for wealth, children and blessing — and Anas (RA) lived a long life, saw many descendants, and taught Hadith in Basra. His life shows the value of serving elders with love and learning by living with them.

The book's Sahabiyat section begins with Hazrat Umm Ayman (RA), whose real name was Barakah. She was the Prophet's ﷺ nurse and attendant from his childhood — he called her “my mother after my mother.” She migrated to Madinah, served in the battle of Uhud by giving water and nursing the wounded, and remained close to the Prophet's ﷺ family all her life. Her story shows the honoured place of women who served Islam with loyalty, courage and love — not only men carried the message; women like Umm Ayman (RA) carried it too.

Hazrat Syed Abdul Latif Kazmi (RA), known as Imam Bari Sarkar, was born in 1617 CE (1026 Hijri) and preached Islam in the Potohar region. He lived simply, taught the Quran and Sunnah, and guided people to purify their hearts (Tazkiya-e-Nafs) — the heart of Tasawwuf: love of Allah, humility, and service to people. He passed away in 1706 CE (1117 Hijri); his shrine at Nurpur Shahan, Islamabad, remains a place where people remember his message of love and simplicity. Sufiya like him spread Islam in the subcontinent more by character than by argument.

Ibn Arabi — full title Muhyuddin ibn Arabi — was a great Sufi scholar; his famous work is Futuhat-e-Makkiya, on Tasawwuf and wisdom. Shah Abdul Aziz (RA), son of Shah Waliullah, was Delhi's great Hadith scholar; his family lineage reaches Hazrat Umar Farooq (RA), and he excelled in Ilm-e-Hadith, teaching and writing for the spread of knowledge. Ibn Rushd (Averroes of Andalus) was a philosopher and Qadi deeply influenced by Arastu (Aristotle); he wrote commentaries on Aristotle and the famous Bidayat-ul-Mujtahid on Fiqh. Together they show Islam's tradition of knowledge in every field — Tasawwuf, Hadith and philosophy.
