Calling the above Scholarly Giants and Representatives of Sunni Muslims of the Sub-Continent as ‘Takfiri Mullahs’ and their verdicts as ‘Fatwa Baziyan’ by Dr Tahir ul Qadri and his followers, is an insult to Islamic Learning and ‘Ahl us Sunnah wal Jamah’!
Dear Sunni Brothers and Sisters!
The combined population under the Six Giant Silsilas (Quadriya, Naqshbandiya, Quadriya Barkatiya, Qyadriya Chsihtiya Ashrafiya, Quadriya Razviya & Quadriya Attariya) of the Indian Sub-continent and represented by the above scholars is 75 % of the total Sunni population, and rejecting this massive ‘Jamah’ is an indication of Astray-ness, because the ‘Jamah’ or overwhelming majority can not be ‘Astray’!
What is Dr Tahir ul Qadri’s Blunder?
- Opposing the Sunni & Hanafi ‘Ijma’ {Consensus} on the matter of Women’s ‘Diyyat’ (Blood-Money).
- Promoting and Advocating Unity with the ‘Rawafiz’ and ‘Tafziliya’ upon whose deviancy and astray-ness, the entire Ummah is Unified! That is, according to Dr Tahir, ‘Truth’ {‘Haqq’} should join hands with ‘Falsehood’ {‘Batil’}!
- Opposing the Sunni Consensus of the Sub-continent on the ‘Kufr’ of 4 leading Deobandi scholars and holding the view that the ‘Deobandiya’ are part of the ‘Ahl us Sunnah’! In short, he defies the combined majority of the Sunni Scholars on the matter. In-short, he opposes ‘Hussam ul Haramayn’ and ‘As Sawarim ul Hindiya’.
- Holding the view that Sayyiduna Ali is spiritually more superior to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, a classic example of his deviancy and upholding the ‘Aqidah’ of ‘Rawafiz’ and ‘Tafziliya’.
- Practicing and promoting ‘Rafzi/Shiyi’ practices of ‘Taziya’, ‘Alam, ‘Matam’ and ‘Marsiya Khani’ just as the mainstream ‘Rawafiz’.
- Holding the view that the Jews & Christians are among the ‘Believers’ as they too believe in One God, A Prophet and a Book sent by God. In his view, there are Believers (Jews, Christians & Muslims) and Non- Believers (Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Sikhs, Parsis, Atheists, etc).
- Practically implementing and promoting the practice that the Christians be allowed to pray in Masjids, and he allowed them to pray in Masjids operated by his organization.
- Propagating and practically implementing the view that Muslims should celebrate the Holy day of Christians, i.e. Christmas – the Birth of Christ, as they celebrate the Birth of Prophet Muhammad.
Based upon the above blunders, deviant views, astray ideology, boastful self-praise, proposing unity with Heretics and unity with the Blasphemers of the Allah, the Prophet Muhammad ~sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam~, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, other Sahaba and Awliya; the scholars of ‘Ahl us Sunnah wal Jamah’ declared Dr Tahir ul Qadri out of the pale of ‘Ahl us Sunnah’ and branded him ‘Astray’ and declared him the cardinal pole of Deviancy in present times.
He falsely claims to represent the School of Imam Ahmad Raza Khan, boasting that he took ‘Ilm’ from his direct students but in-fact opposes him (Imam Ahmad Raza) and his students on matters upon which they stood all their lives! And deceives Millions of Sunnis claiming to represent the ‘Ahl us Sunnah wal Jamah’ and Imam Ahmad Raza Khan! Recently in Hyderabad, he claimed that he took ‘Ilm’ directly from Imam Ahmad Raza in dream for many years!!!! Imagine the great Imam, the Sword of Allah on the Blasphemers of RasulAllah ~sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam~, the one who refuted all his life the Wahhabiya and Deobandiya - Sayyidi Imam Ahmad Raza teaching Dr Tahir who advocates the Deobandi and their Big Brothers – the Wahhabiya are from the Ahl us Sunnah! What a Lie!
For those obsessed with Dr Tahir ul Qadri’s so called learning and speeches may re-call or imagine the past scholars like ‘Dawud Zahiri’, ‘Zamakhshari’, ‘Ibn Hazm’, ‘Ibn Taymiya’, and ‘Ibn Qayyim’ and their knowledge and intellect. Despite of their vast knowledge and numerous books on core topics, they were branded as Heretics and Astray by Sunni Scholars! Why?
It was because they denied the ‘Ijma’ in some matters and on the other hand advocated new Ideologies alien to Islam and Ahl us Sunnah wal Jamah. The same is the case with Dr Tahir ul Qadri.
These astray scholars showed their haughtiness, self-praise, over-confidence, boastfulness and self admiration, neglecting the advice of contemporary scholars, jeering at them and not retracting from their wrong positions/views/ ideologies. So does Dr Tahir in present times.
All of the above scholars were known for their exceptional intellect, reasoning, knowledge, and expertise in Islamic learning, but unfortunately they became Astray and were Branded as Heretics! The same is the case of Dr Tahir ul Qadri in present times, his oration and explanation of intricate matters is sometimes excellent, but the same intellect led him to astray-ness and neither he or his followers pay heed to the advice of the contemporary ‘Ahl us Sunnah’ scholars and retract their positions.
Thus, it would be fair if we say that:
Dr Tahir ul Qadri is the ‘Dawud Zahiri’, ‘Zamakhshari’, ‘Ibn Hazm’, ‘Ibn Taymiya’, and ‘Ibn Qayyim’ of Present Times!
Just Think!
Isn’t it risky to stick and follow one scholar and oppose scores of other scholars on the same matter? Isn’t it dangerous to hold a view or a stance that only one scholar invents, upholds and propagates defying thousands of other religious authorities?
If we glance on the public and scholarly following enjoyed by Sunni scholars in the sub-continent in terms of population, we shall find the following heading the list.
- Shaykh ul Islam Sayyid Muhammad Madani Miyan Ashrafi Jilani Kichochavi.
- Taj ul Islam Mufti Akhtar Raza Khan Qadri Bareilvi.
- Shaykh al A’zam Sayyid Izhar Ashraf Ashrafi Jilani Kichochavi.
- Ameen al Millat Allama Sayyid Ameen Miyan Barkati Marehravi.
- Ghazi al Millat Allama Sayyid Hashmi Miyan Ashrafi Jilani Kichochavi.
- Muhaddith al Kabir Allama Mufti Ziya ul Mustafa Qadri Razvi Amjadi A’zami.
- Ameer al Ahl us Sunnah Allama Ilyas Attar Qadri Razvi, of ‘Dawat al Islami’.
Each of the above has a following of lakhs and crores and represents the different dominant ‘Tariqahs’ of the ‘Ahl us Sunnah wal Jamah’ in the sub-continent and all of the above are Unified upon the fact that Dr Tahir ul Qadri opposes the ‘Sunni’ stance on numerous matters and is Astray.
Dear Sunni Brother and Sisters, leaving these personalities of repute and following a lone scholar is not advisable and worth.
