RABB (Paalne wala – Fosterer) 1:1 رَ ب
Lafz-e-Rabb ka madda ya root (ر ب ب) hai, iss ke mane Paalne wale ke aatey hain, lekin Lafz-e-Rabb ke maney kisi aur zaban mein ek lafz mein nahin kiye ja saktey hain, kyun ke, arabic dictionary ke lehaz se Rabb woh shakhsiyat ko kahtey hain jo ek haalat se doosri haalat mein tabdeel karte huway kisi cheez ko paalna yahan tak ke woh apne kamal (yani perfection) tak pahunch jaye. Insaan ki fitrat me dynamism hai, ek hi static halat par sabr nahi kar sakta. To hamara paalne wala malik humein ek hi halat me nahi rakhta. Rabb jo hai,
- Wo Malik hai, Owner bhi hai,
- Wo Aqa hai, Master bhi hai,
- Wo alaa taqat aur ekhtiyaar wala hai, Lord possessing Supreme Power,
- Wo Paalta hai, One who cherishes,
- Wo Barqarar rakhta hai, One who sustains,
- Wo Parwarish karta hai, One who nourishes,
- Wo Pokhtagi lata hai, One who brings to maturity,
- Wo Maintain karta hai,
- Wo Intezaam karta hai, One who Manages,
- Wo taraqqi deta hai, One who Develops,
- Wo ek darje se doosre darje me tabdeel karta hai, One who evolves.
- Ye tamam maane, Rabb me hain, Rabb ye sab kuch karta hai, Mukhtasar taur par, wo Paalne wala Malik hai.
Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى), Rabb ki haisiyat se,
- Aasmano, zameen aur saari kayenaat ke paalne wale Malik hain,[29]
- Arsh-e-Azeem ka, jo ke iss kayenaat ka takht hai, central control hai, capital hai, Dar-ul-Hukoomat hai, uss ka paalne wala Malik hai,[30] aur iss wajah se wo supreme power aur authority wala hai, azeem taqat aur ekhtiyaar ka malik hai,
- Wo jo chaahta hai karta hai,[31]
- Humne to iss duniya me aane se pehle hi, Aalam-e-Arwaah me, Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) ko apna Rabb, apna paalne wala Malik tasleem kar liya hai, Surah al-Araaf ki 172wi ayat me iss ka zikr aya hai,[32]
- Ek hadith me ata hai ke, Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) ne Adam (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ki kamar se, unn ki peetth se, unn ki aulad ko nikala, aur kaha ke inn logon ko maine Jannat ke liye paida kiya hai, aur ye log jannatiyon ke amaal karenge,
- dobara Allah ne Adam (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ki peeth se unn ki aulad ko nikala aur kaha ke, inn logon ko maine dozaq ke liye paida kiya hai, ye log dozaqiyon ke amaal karenge.
- To iss par kisi ne sawal kiya ke, kya hum koshish karna, amal karna chhorrh dein, to aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya, tum par wohi amal asaan kiya gaya hai, jiss ke liye tum banaye gaye ho.
- Jannatiyon par jannat wale logon ke amaal asan kiye gaye hain aur dozaqiyon par dozaq wale logon ke amaal asan kiye gaye hain.[33]
- Ye jo alam-e-arwa ka waqiya, hume yaad nahi ke, humne Allah ko apna Rabb hone ki gawahi di, jaisa ke Quran aur Ahadith me aya hai,
- lekin yaad-dasht kisi waqiye ki sachchai ki buniyad nahi,
- iss ki misal, kuch iss tarah hai ke, hum paida huwe, lekin ye waqiya bhi hum ko yaad nahi, jo hamari zindagi ka sab se important waqiya hai, jiss din har saal hangame karte, Birthday bol ker, wo din hume yaad hi nahi,
- Jab Allah aur uss ke Rasool (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne bata diya ke, alam-e-arwah me ye gawahi humne di hai, Allah ko apna Rabb mana hai, to yehi sach hai.
- Phir Quran me, Surah al-Baqarah me aur doosre jagah aya hai ke, Allah ne hume paida kiya, aur farishton se kaha ke Adam (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ko sajda karo,[34]
- Ye sab kaam, Allah – Rabb ki haisiyat se kar rahe hain,
- Malaika ko, Farishton ko Adam (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ke saamne sajday me jhukane ka maqsad, ye samajh me ata hai ke,
- Tamam energies, jiss ki insaan ko zaroorat hai, iss duniya me zindagi guzaarne ke liye, unn energies ko insaan ke qaboo me de diya,
- Issi liye, aaj hum button dabate hain, to Electrical Energy par control ki wajah se, light, AC, heater, fridge, microwave, sab chal rahe hain, mobile phone charge ho sakta hai,
- Thermal Energy par control hai, iss liye garam ko thanda aur thande ko garam kar sakte hain,
- Chemical Energy par control hai, iss liye hamari gadiyan chal rahi hain, generators chal rahe hain,
- Nuclear Energy par control hai, iss liye aaj chand tak insaan pahunch gaya, Mars tak apne robots bhej diya, balke uss ke bhi aagay badh kar, jo space probe bheja, Voyager 1 & 2, wo solar system ke bhi bahar chale gayee hain, aur suraj se 23.4 Billion KM door hain.
- To jo insaan ki taraqqi hai, science aur technology ki field me, wo insaan ka achievement nahi, balke Allah ka farishton ko insaan ke saamne jhukane ki wajah se, jo insaan ka energies per control hai, wo Allah ka tohfa hai, insaan ke liye.
- Ek hadith me ata hai ke, insaano ka ye energies per control, Qiyamat se pehle khatam ho jayega, kyun ke, talwar, ghode, teer, kaman aur dhaal ke istemaal ki baat ho rahi hai,[35]
- To jo Allah insaan ko, energies par control de sakta hai, wo wapas le bhi sakta hai.
- Allah, Insan ko jo chahta hai, jitna chahta hai deta hai, kisi ko zyada diya aur kisi ko kum,[36]
- Wo apne paighamat, ya messages ke zariye, insaan ko hidayat deta hai, rehnumai karta hai,
- unn logon ke zariye jo Allah ke chune huwe hote hain, jin ko hum Nabi ya Rasool kehte hain,
- Nabi ya Rasool insaano ko jannat me jaane ke raasta batate hain aur dozaq se bachne ka tareeqa batate hain.[37]
- Hume chahiye ke, apne Rabb hi ki madad maange,[38] jaisa Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) Surah Ghafir me farmate hain ke, mujh se maango main tumhe doonga,[39]
- Kyun ke, wo hamara Rabb hai, Paalne wala Malik hai.[40]
- Quran me, hume kayee duaén milti hain, jo Rabbana se shuru hoti hain, to Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) ne na sirf, Hukum diya balke Unn se dua kya maange, wo bhi sikhaya,
- Rabbana Taqabbal minna innaka antas Sameeaul Aleem,[41]
- Rabbanaaa Aatinaa Fiddunyaa H’asanata Wa Fil Aakhirati H’asanata Wa Qinaa A’d’aaban Naar, [42]
- Ye sab to hum ko yaad hain, 40 ke qareeb dua’en Quran me aye hain, jo Rabbana se shuru hoti hain, [43]
- Ussi ki Tareef aur Shukr ada kare aur Tasbeeh kare,[44]
- Ussi ki Takbeer kare,[45]
- Uss ki ayaat par imaan laye, ussi se darein, aur uss ke saath kisi ko shareek na kare,[46]
- Ussi par bharosa kare, tawakkal kare,[47]
- Ussi ki ibadat kare,[48]
- Ussi ki panah me aaye, shaitan ke wasswasso ke asar me aane se,[49] kyun ke, agar humne Shaitan ki itteba ki, to dozaq me pahunch jayenge,[50]
- Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) Rabb hain, aur iss haisiyat se 30 aur sifaat ka muzahera karte hain.
- Kuch mazhabon ke log, apne padriyon aur rahibon ko, apne priests aur monks ko, apna Rabb maante hain, Quran me Surah at-Tauba me iss ka zikr hai,[51]
- Jab ke haqeeqat to ye hai ke,
الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِين
Bila-shubha, tamam tareef Allah hi ke liye hai, jo Alameen ka paalne wala malik hai,
Rabb par jo ahadith ayee hain, uss me se humne kuch ahadith abhi suni, aur kyun ke,
- Quran me hukum aa gaya ke Apne Rabb ko, apne Paalne Wale Malik ko pukaro, wo dua’on ko sunta hai, aur unn dua’on ka jawab deta hai. To aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) hume dua maangna sikhaya,
- Jab Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) pareshan hote, to ye dua parrhte,[52]
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الْأَرْضِ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيم
- Jo shaks, subah-o-shaam, ye saat martaba parrhega, Allah ussay duniya aur aakhirat se jo chahe ata kar dega, [53]
حَسْبِـيَ اللّهُ لا إلهَ إلاّ هُوَ عَلَـيهِ تَوَكَّـلتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ العَرْشِ العَظـيم
- Quran me kaha gaya ke, apne Rabb ki tasbeeh, tamheed aur takbeer karo, to aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ye sab kuch sikhaya, Namaz me,
- Ruku me, Subhana Rabbiyal Azeem, parrhna sikhaya,[54] Aur bhi bohot saari dua’en hain – Hisnul Muslim me dekh kar yaad kiye ja sakte hain.
- Ruku se utth kar khade hone par, jab Imam Sami Allahu liman hamida kehta hai, to hume “Rabbana lakal Hamd” parrhna sikhaya,[55]
- Sajde me, Subhana Rabbiyal Aala, parrhna sikhaya,[56] aur Subbuhun, Quddusun, Rabbul Malaikati war Ruh parrhna sikhaya,[57]
- Do sajdon ke beech me jab baitth’te hain, tab Rabbigh Fir li, Rabbigh Fir li, parrhna sikhaya,[58] ye to sab se asaan hai, yaad karna mushkil nahi,
- Behisaab ahadith hain, inn ko bayan karna mumkin nahi.

`And (remember) when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their loins` [al-A`raf 7:172], `Umar (رضي الله عنه) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) being asked about it and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: `Allah created Adam, then He passed His right hand over his loins and brought forth from him his offspring and said: I have created these for Paradise and they will do the deeds of the people of Paradise. Then He passed (His hand) over his loins and brought forth from him his offspring and said: I have created these for Hell and they will do the deeds of the people of Hell.” A man said: O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), why then should we strive? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: `When Allah creates a person for Paradise, He causes him to do the deeds of the people of Paradise until he dies doing one of the deeds of the people of Paradise and is admitted to Paradise thereby. And when He creates a person for Hell, He causes him to do the deeds of the people of Hell until he dies doing one of the deeds of the people of Hell and is admitted to Hell thereby.”

Reference : Hisn al-Muslim 33
[55] Hudhaifah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I performed Salat with the Prophet (ﷺ) one night, and he started reciting Surat Al- Baqarah. I thought that he would go in Ruku’ (bowing posture in Salat) at the end of one hundred Ayat, but he continued (reciting); and I thought that he would perhaps recite (this Surah) in the whole Rak’ah (prayer), but he continued the recitation; I thought he would perhaps bow on completing (this Surah). He (ﷺ) then started reciting Surat An-Nisa’ which he followed with Surat Al-Imran. He recited leisurely. When he recited an Ayah which mentioned the tasbeeh, he would say Subhan Allah and when he recited the Ayah which tells how the Rubb is to be asked, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would then ask from Him; and when he (ﷺ) recited an Ayah asking one to seek Protection Allah, he would seek Protection of Allah. Then he bowed and said, “Subhana Rabbiyal-Azim (My Rubb the Great is free from imperfection)”; his bowing lasted about the same length of time as his standing, (and then on returning to the standing posture after Ruku’) he would say, “Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana lakal-hamd (Allah listens to him who praises Him. Praise be to You, Our Rubb!),” and he would then stand about the same length of time as he had spent in bowing. He would then prostrate himself and say, “Subhana Rabbiyal-A’la (My Rubb the Supreme is free from imperfection),” and his prostration lasted nearly the same length of time as his standing (Qiyam). [Muslim].
وعن حذيفة رضي الله عنه، قال: صليت مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ، ذات ليلة فافتتح البقرة، فقلت: يركع عند المائة، ثم مضى، فقلت: يصلي بها في ركعة، فمضي، فقلت: يركع بها، ثم افتتح النساء فقرأها، ثم افتتح آل عمران، فقرأها، يقرأ مترسلا. إذا مر بآية فيها تسبيح سبح، وإذا بسؤال سأل، وإذا مر بتعوذ تعوذ، ثم ركع، فجعل يقول: سبحان ربي العظيم، فكان ركوعه نحوًا من قيامه، ثم قال: سمع الله لمن حمده، ربنا لك الحمد، ثم قام طويلا قريبًا مما ركع، ثم سجد فقال: سبحان ربي الأعلى، فكان سجوده قريبًا من قيامه.
