Every year the 10th of Shawwal Al-Mukarram is celebrated all
over the world on the occasion of the birthday of His Highness Imam Ahmad Raza
(may Allah have mercy on him). Like last year, this year too, Tehreek-e-Forough-e-Islam is
celebrating the birth anniversary of Imam Ahmad Raza (may Allah have mercy on
him) as the "Day of Guarding the Honour of the Holy
Prophet ﷺ" and paying homage to this guardian of the Honour of Holy Prophet ﷺ.
On this occasion, we are presenting to you the events from the
history of Islam which will give us an idea that as long as the followers of
Islam and especially the Sultans / rulers guard the honour of the Prophet ﷺ, we will rise in the world. Long back and
ever since we and our Sultans / rulers have abandoned this sacred duty we have
been humiliated.
This was the event of the year 557 AH, On one night Sultan
Noor-ud-Din Zangi (may Allah have mercy on him) presented Durood on the
holy Prophet ﷺ and slept. His fate awoke and he
was blessed to See His Highness Holy Prophet ﷺ in
his dream. He said to Nooruddin Zangi, "Nooruddin! These two men
are staring at me. Get up quickly and put an end to their evil." The
Sultan had such a dream for three days in a row and immediately set out for
Madinah. After a journey of 15 days, when he reached Madinah, he arranged a big
feast and strictly ordered that everyone should participate in this feast. When
the last person had eaten from the feast, the Sultan said is everyone was
there.? One of the servants said, "Only two people have not come. They
are very devout and do not go to anyone and are just engaged in worship inside
their room. When they were called, the Sultan recognized them at a
glance." These are the two people I was shown in the dream. Despite his
insistence, they did not reveal their truth. The Sultan himself went to their
room and searched it. It was found that the two apostates were digging a tunnel
from their room which was very close to the Holy Prophet's shrine. They had
reached till the feet of the Holy Prophet ﷺ! After the revelation, they both
confessed that they were Jews and were assigned to the job. "In a
furious tone, the Sultan beheaded them both with his own hands and their bodies
were burnt in a large fire. Thus, they were both sent to the arrogant hell".

In the same way, each of us must have heard the name and
achievements of the great lion of Islam, "Sultan Salah-ud-Din Ayyubi"
(may Allah have mercy on him). He himself was an eyewitness to all this and
was the successor and son-in-law of Sultan Noor-ud-Din Zangi. At the same time
he was trying to recover Jerusalem from crusaders, there was an unfortunate
crusader named Reginald. He had twice robbed the caravans on their journey to
the Holy Hijaz, and at that time the Sultan had a peace treaty with the
Crusaders, which is why the Muslims said, "Why do you break the treaty with
us?". "Now only your prophet will come and save you," he
said in a humiliating tone. This event forms the basis of one of the most
important wars in history, called the Battle of Hattin, which resulted
in the conquest of Jerusalem once again by the Muslims and remained with us for
hundreds of years. When the news of this incident reached Sultan Salahuddin, he
swore that if Allah Almighty gave me possession of the body of this accursed
person, I would kill him with my own hands. When the Battle of Hattin ended
and the Crusaders were tragically defeated, it has a story of its own that the
West has never forgotten. So this accursed Reginald was imprisoned alive and
put in the footsteps of the Sultan. Although the leader of Crusaders were
honored according to their position after the battle and this accursed man was
with him but no mercy was shown to him, he murmured and begged for mercy from
the Sultan which saw the other prisoners too, They felt pity for him. But the
Sultan said, "Your sin is double which is not forgiven, and my oath is
that which has no atonement". Then the onlookers saw Sultan Salahuddin
Ayyubi's sword waving in the air and the next moment Reginald's neck was
seen lying on the ground, and his body was aching. When the corpse cooled
down, the Sultan said, throw it away. " In this way, the Sultan guarded
the honour of the Holy Prophet ﷺ and told the world that this is the real
work, and perhaps it was in this spirit that he was blessed with the conquest
of Jerusalem.

These were just two examples. If there was no fear of the
length of the text, more things would have been presented to you.
