A Critical Review of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan's Narrative on Ahadees-i-Shaq Sadr

Abstract

The current era is one of the advancements of rational sciences, where everything is measured and weighed on the scales of Rationality, and it is considered the definitive standard for determining right and wrong. However, revelation (Wahi) holds a status above Rationality. It is not necessary for all information provided by revelation to align with rationality. In the past, influenced by the prominence of rational sciences, some individuals actively attempted to align revelation with the framework of rationality. Among these individuals, one prominent figure in the recent past was Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, who worked on this subject. One of the topics he addressed was the miracle of Shaqq-e-Sadr (purifying Prophet Muhammad's heart). To bring this miracle into the domain of rationality, Sir Syed adopted two approaches in his discourse: 1. He denied the actual occurrence of the event and attempted to prove it as a dream. 2. He questioned the authenticity of the Ahadees(About Sahqq e Sadar) that support the event as a real occurrence in a state of wakefulness. In the present age of rationalism, it is essential to preserve the Real status of revelation, so This article critically examines both claims made by Sir Syed Ahmed Khan
