    (4) ما هو الدليل على الأعمال التي تقوم بها جماعة التبيليغ أثناء الخروج ؟ ان الأعمال التي تقوم بها جماعة التبليغ أثناء الخروج هي: (الدعوة الى الله...التعليم والتعلم...العبادات...الخدمة), والله جل جلاله بعث النبي (صلى الله عليه وسلم) بهذه الاعمال لهداية الناس, وجعل الهداية مقرونة بهذه الاعمال, فالذي يقوم بهذه الاعمال يتحصل على الهداية والنصرة من الله سواء كان فرداً, او جماعة في أي زمان ومكان, والدليل عليها: قوله تعالى: (( هُوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَ فِي الأُمِّيِّينَ رَسُولاً مِنْهُمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آَيَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَإِنْ كَانُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ لَفِي ضَلالٍ مُبِينٍ وَآَخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ ذَلِكَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَاللَّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ )) . قوله تعالى: (( يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آَيَاتِهِ)) أي يتلو عليهم القران, والتلاوة هنا ليست القراءة فقط, بل تشمل (الدعوة الى الله) بدليل قوله تعالى: (( وسيق الذين كفروا إلى جهنم زمراً حتى إذا جاؤوها فتحت أبوابها وقال لهم خزنتها ألم يأتكم رسل منكم يتلون عليكم آيات ربكم وينذرونكم لقاء يومكم هذا قالوا بلى ولكن حقت كلمة العذاب على الكافرين )) فالحجة تقوم بالدعوة الى الله . قوله تعالى: (( وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ )) أي بأن يفصل لهم الأخلاق الفاضلة, ويحثهم عليها, ويزجرهم عن الأخلاق الرذيلة... (تفسير السعدي), وقوله تعالى: ((قد أفلح من تزكى)) أي طهر نفسه من الأخلاق الرذيلة وتابع ما أنزل الله على الرسول... (تفسير ابن كثير), والانسان لا يتحصل على الاخلاق الحميدة الا من خلال العبادات, لأن من مقاصد العبادات كالصلاة والصوم والحج وغيرها أن يتحصل الانسان على الاخلاق... فهذا هو العمل الثاني وهو (العبادات). قوله تعالى: (( وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ )) الكتاب: هو القرآن, والحكمة: هي السنة, فهذا هو العمل الثالث (التعليم والتعلم) . وورد في تفسير (( الحكمة )): كما قال مجاهد معناها القول السديد, قال تعالى: (( أدع الى سبيل ربك بالحكمة والموعظة الحسنة)) وهذه الحكمة هي عطاء من الله للانسان كما في قوله تعالى: (( ومن يؤتى الحكمة فقد أوتيَ خيراً كثيراً )).

  • Mausoleum of Empress Nur Jehan, kareley wrote 17 years ago:
    Empress Noor Jahan lies buried in a tomb not far from that of her husband, Emperor Jahangir.Nur Jehan died in 1645 at age 68, and is buried at Shahdara Bagh in Lahore Pakistan, in a tomb, she had built herself, near the tomb of Jahangir. Her brother Asaf Khan's tomb is also located nearby. The tomb attracts many visitors (both Pakistani and foreign) who come to enjoy pleasant walks in its beautiful gardens, all personally laid out and designed by Nur Jehan herself. Mehr-un-Nisa (1577-1645), Jahangir re-named her Noor Mahal (Light of the Palace)after their marriage ,titled Noor Jahan Begam (Light of the World)when Jahangir became Mughal emperor, was the daughter of Khwaja Ghiyas-ud-din Muhammad Ghiyas Beg Taharani, a migrant from Persia, who along with his family had fled to Hindustan, and rose to exalted positions in the cosmopolitan court of Akbar. She married Jahangir in the sixth year of his reign, and, because of her abilities, soon became the fountainhead of authority at the Mughal court. She is the only Mughal empress under whose name imperial receipts were issued and silver coins "struck in the name of the Queen Begam, Noor Jahan" were minted. She first became influential as a staunch ally of Prince Khurram (later Emperor Shah Jahan), the husband of her niece Arjumand Bano Begam or Mumtaz Mahal as she is better known.A great patron of architecture, Noor Jahan had an abiding impact on the culture of the Mughal court. A poet and aesthete, she erected impressive edifices and gardens utilizing the enormous wealth at her disposal from the revenues of her jagirs (fiefs). Although she remained supremely powerful until the death of Jahangir. Noor Jahan devoted some of her life to the making of perfume, an art form her mother had passed down.
  • Tomb of Jahangir, kareley wrote 17 years ago:
    Emperor Jahangir was buried according to his last wish: in Lahore, in his Queen Noor Jahan's old pleasure garden known as Dilkusha Garden. The mausoleum is located at Shahdara on the banks of the Ravi, three miles northwest of the city. The east gateway in the Akbar/Jahangir serai quadrangle, with its tall Timurid wan, leads into an enormous garden 1540'x1540', in the centre of which stands the magnificent sepulcher of Jahangir, considered by some to be the "finest ornament of Lahore," and the "most magnificent edifice in the subcontinent after the Taj and the Qutub." Although contemporary court accounts credit Shah Jahan with the building of his father's tomb, it is more likely to have been the result of Noor Jahan's vision. The empress was a great patron of architecture, having built several buildings and gardens. She designed her husband's tomb in 1627, taking as model her parents' burial place, the tomb of Itimad-ud-Daula in Agra. She also became a permanent resident of Lahore after her husband's death, and was thus in a position to influence the design and construction of the monument. Dilkusha Garden, which according to his own wish became the resting place of Jahangir, was owned by none other than the empress herself. In all fairness to Shah Jahan, though, no expense was spared. The monument, which was ten years in building, cost Rupees 10 lakhs. The setting of the chahar bagh rauza (paradise garden mausoleum) is skillfully accomplished. Its four parterres are subdivided into sixteen divisions by means of a brick geometric pavement flanking narrow water channels and every intersection is marked by an alternate octagonal and square talab (tank). A takhtgah mausoleum—it is placed on an enormous takht or podium—is a square single storey structure, its arcading of the ambulatory verandah of the inner sanctuary being a dominant feature. A 100' high tower capped by a marble cupola stands guard at each corner, while the centre of each of its 267' sides is accented by a slightly projecting peshtaq alcove. The minarets are inlaid with zigzag bands of variegate marble and magnificent blocks of yellow stone. The combination of red Sikri stone and white marble, an arrangement echoing Humayun's tomb in Delhi, and a rare treat for Lahore not least for its intricate inlay, is impressive in its finesse and sophistication. Where the external expression is restrained in its dignified simplicity, internally decorative surfaces present you the best of tile mosaic and fresco that made Lahore famous in the whole of the Mughal Empire. As you enter the passage from the west which leads to the marqad (grave/tombstone), a riot of scintillating tile mosaic and decorative fresco, among the best specimens that Lahore has to offer, overwhelms the visitor—not an inch is left unembellished, whether floor, walls or the ceiling. The inner sanctuary is screened by a panel of fine marble beehive fretwork. The sarcophagus itself presents a pristine picture of the finest Mughal pietra dura—an interlaced pattern and calligraphic tour de force in marble, inlaid with semi-precious stones. Here lies the emperor, who was considered "one of the mightiest Princes in Asia" by Thomas Roe, the first English ambassador to the Mughal court. Among the most powerful in the world, rather than the din of war, Jahangir enjoyed the pleasurable pursuits of feasts and entertainments, reveling in the company of poets and singers. The enjoyment of Jahangir the aesthete in gardens, lakes and rivers, flora and fauna, is evident from the innumerable studies that he commissioned of his favourite animals and a multitude of rare flowers from artists of such eminence as Listad Mansur (or Mansur Naqqash, as he is also known). An enlightened connoisseur, his emissaries roamed the world for rare manuscripts and paintings for the royal library. His own memoirs, Tuzuk-i-fahangiri or the Jahangirnama along with memoirs of his great-grandfather Babur, ranks among the best of its genre. In contrast to the formal accounts by court historians regarding other emperors, the tuzuk is expressive of Jahangir's innermost thoughts, which includes ovation for his wife Noor Jahan in no uncertain terms. The design of the sanctuary respected the wish of the emperor, echoing the desire of his great grandfather Babur, that his grave should be erected in a manner that "rain and dew of heaven might fall on it." Although there is little truth in the 19th century theory that the Sikhs removed a pavilion which formed the second storey over the sanctuary, the sepulcher did suffer from the vandalism of Lahna Singh and Ranjit Singh. Further damage was caused to the structure, when it was utilized as residence by Ranjit Singh's French officer Mr. Amise, as well as by Sultan Muhammad Khan, brother of Dost Muhammad Khan of Afghanistan.

  • Alamgiri Gate, kareley wrote 17 years ago:
    The Alamgiri Gate (عالمگيرى دروازا), built in 1673 A.D., is the main entrance to the Lahore Fort in present day Lahore, Pakistan. It was constructed to face west towards the Badshahi Mosque in the days of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. The monumental gateway is an imposing vestibule flanked by two semi-circular bastions that have boldly fluted shafts and lotus petalled bases and are crowned with domed pavilions. The huge arched entrance in the centre was designed to allow the emperor's elephant mounted caravan to pass through. It leads to the central square hall having deep arched recesses on the east and north and a staircase leading to the upper storey buildings. The archway on the south leads to interior of the fort.

  • Kashmiri Gate, Lahore, kareley wrote 17 years ago:
    The kashmiri gate was named, because it faces the direction of Kashmir. A big retail market of children shoes is located in this gate. There is a big beautiful girl's college is also located here. This college is built in an old haveli of a shah. Which is a beautiful example of Mughal architecture.
