The Ummat was asked to obey and the Prophet Mohammad(SAW) was told to give the order and continue to do Mashwara with the Ummat. In this order great secrets are hidden and every kind of blessing is permeated from this virtuous deed. The Ummat was not ordered in the Quran to do Mashwara with the Prophet but the Prophet Mohammad (SAW) was ordered to do the Mashwara with the Ummat. This process of Mashwara teaches lessons for Ummat of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) until the last day of the world on how to handle issues. Since there will be no more Prophets, no more revelations, no more sending of Angel Gibrael with messages from Allah, Prophet Mohammad (SAW) did Mashwara with his companions on many occasions to make decisions. However, Allah has made this a source of blessing for whole Ummat and if anyone of the Ummat who consults others, he remains on the right path, and anyone who gives up consultation( Mushwàra) he remains in distress. Hazrat Ibne-Abbas ( RA) narrates that when this verse was revealed: (And consult them in affairs), then Prophet Mohammad (SAW):I said: Behold! Allah and His Messenger are above consultation. Hazrat Ali( RA) narrates that he asked: 0' Rasulullah( SAW)! If we have a matter in which we do not have a specific order, to do or not to do, what do you order in this regard to us? He said: Consult those who have a good understanding of Deen and are devout worshippers, and do not decide on an individual opinion. Hazrat Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that i did not see anyone consulting soįrequently with his companions, as Prophet Mohammad ( SAW) did. In Dawah, everything is done according to Mashwara. It is virtuous deed that Maulana Ilyas has revived and drew the attention of all the followers towards this consistent Sunnah and he made an Integral part of effort of Dawah and Tabligh. In Dawah it is done with proper intention and understanding as an important Sunnah and it is treated as the foundation of Dawah work. The Mushwàra was constantly done by Prophet Mohammad ( SAW) throughout his period along with the companions. Mushwàra (Consultation or suggestion) is the basic "motto" of the Dawah work as it is treated as a source Allah's favour and blessings.
