Is the Call to the name of Abraham Correct?

Image
  Under the Abrahamic Accords, there have been a large number of new concepts thrown in the faces of Muslims around the world. One of these is for the Muslims, Jews, and Christians to unite under the banner of a single forefather, i.e., Sayyiduna Ibrahim 'alayhi as-salaam. However, let us stop for a few moments and think over this claim.  The bond of the sons of Sayyiduna Ibrahim 'alayhi as-salaam has been negated by time. It does not exist today because the descendants of Sayyiduna Ibrahim 'alayhi as-salaam and his offspring have mixed with other peoples through marriage, social intercourse, migration, and wars. Today, it is impossible to separate them from other peoples. Since the followers of the three religions can be found among all peoples and tribes of the world, they have mixed on the basis of religion and not on the basis of ethnicity.  Therefore, applying the claim regarding the sons of Sayyiduna Ibrahim 'alayhi as-salaam on the Muslims, Jews, and Christians a...

What if the Interfaith Question was Posed to the Pious Predecessors?

Image
  Sufyan Thawri rahimahullah was one of the great Muhaddithin of this Ummah. He lived from 97 to 161 AH.  Imam Dhahabi rahimahullah wrote about him, an entire book, called Manaqib Sufyan Ath-Thawri, from which the following 2 narrations are mentioned: 1. Damrah reports, I asked Sufyan Thawri, "Shall I shake hands with the Jews and Christians?" He said, "With your foot, yes." 2. I said to him, "What shall I say when I hear the sound of the Naqus (gong or bell)?" He said, "What do you say when a donkey passes wind?" Can we imagine for a moment what Sufyan Thawri rahimahullah would have said if the interfaith question was posed to him? What would he have said had he seen interfaith activities and prayers in which Muslims participate? Muslims today are under the impression that interfaith is synonymous with Da'wah. This image or impression has nothing to do with reality. Interfaith, and interfaith related activities like Mosque Open Days are noth...

Participating in a Meelaad Gathering - Fatawa Mahmudiyyah

Image
  Question: Zayd established a Madrasah in such a place where there are innovators, but he does not participate in any innovations. However, looking at the expediency of him not participating in the innovation, then these people will not send their children to the Madrasah. What is the ruling if he participates in their innovations? Assuming he participates in their Meelaad with the intention of Tabligh, what will be the status of this action of Zayd's? In such a situation, what should Zayd do? Some people say about Haji sahib that he had given permission to stand, looking at the expediency. Answer: Haamidan wa Musalliyyan It is not permissible for Zayd to participate in these gatherings of innovation for the expediency of the Madrasah. This has become like playing a fiddle and gathering people, then calling them for Salaah. There is no permission for this. It is not in our knowledge that Haji sahib had given permission to stand for the sake of running a Madrasah. And Allah Ta'...

Whitewashing Polytheism: The Mosque Open Day (Scam)

Image
  1. The Masjid is a sacred space . It is dedicated for the remembrance and glorification of Allah Ta'ala , Salaah , recitation of the Noble Qur'an , the learning and teaching of pristine and pure Islam .  2. There is no scope in Islam for the misuse or abuse of the Masjid .  3. In this day and age of trials and lies, one of the severest amongst them is the promotion of the blessed Masajid to be used as centers of interfaith harmony. We seek the protection of Allah Ta'ala from this blasphemy and polytheism. 4. The Masjid stands to elevate the name of Allah Ta'ala, and promote the true word of Islam as overpowering over every other system and religion.  5. Interfaith harmony stands in direct contrast with the message of Tauhid and Khatm-un-Nubuwwah.  6. The Mosque Open Day as advertised and promoted by Interfaith Advocates invites polytheists into the most sacred and pure space in order to 'encourage unity and inclusivity'. 7. A brief look at the history of the...

Who are the Ghanadiqah?

Image
  Who are the Ghanadiqah? Zanadiqah  (heretics) who do not like how Sayyiduna Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam is described in history and the Seerah with the qualities of 'izzah (honour), ghayrah (protectiveness), quwwah (strength), and muru'ah (chivalry). So, they recreate his image in the image of Gandhi; a process known as the 'Gandhification of the Messenger'. They only accept those facets and characteristics of Islamic resistance to oppression that match the methodology of Gandhi; while everything else that contradicts Gandhi, they reinterpret (make ta'weel), outright deny (ta'teel), or say that they no longer apply today (mansukh). They are infamous for their inferiority complex, and feeling that the Islamic shari'ah and conquest history is backwards. The ideology of the Ghanadiqah is widespread amongst the masses of the Ummah and is one of the biggest obstacles towards Islamic revival.  

Message to the Ahl-us-Sunnah wal Jama'ah - Mawlana Haq Nawaz Janghwi rahimahullah

Image
 " Note the date today! If Sunniyyat will not wake up, then the day will come when you will be in the minority, and the Shia will be in the majority.  Study history, Iran was conquered by Sayyiduna 'Umar Al-Faruq radiyallahu 'anhu , but today the Shia are in the majority there. Haai, Sunniyyat has been wiped out. Shiasm has taken over. You tell me, for the sake of Allah, Deobandiyyat , tell me, Barelwiyyat , tell me, Ghayr Muqallidiyyat , tell me, and the generation that grew up in the name of Sunniyyat, you tell me!  Taking an oath in the name of Allah, you tell me, how much of ghayrat (self-honour) do you have? In your lifetime, it is being written that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr radiyallahu 'anhu and Sayyiduna 'Umar radiyallahu 'anhu are greater dwellers of hell than the devil, and you are still living! Why should that nation not be sunk into the ground, and why should the sky not break? In this land, why should that nation not be drowned, in whose lifetime all...

The Guardians of the Divine Religion - Shaykh-ul-Hadith Mawlana Muhammad Zakariyya Kandehlawi rahimahullah

Image
  الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلوة والسلام على سيد الأنبياء والمرسلين وعلى آله وأصحابه أجمعين الذين شادوا الدين ونقلوا السنن والكتاب المبين إلى كافة المسلمين ، أما بعد ، Allāh Ta'ala  deputed Sayyidunā Muḥammad Rasūlullāh sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam  to the entire universe – man and jinn. He  sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam  fulfilled his duty and obligation of ta’līm [1] and tazkiyah [2] fully. He taught the words of the book of Allāh Ta'ala , i.e., the Noble Qur’ān. He explained its meanings and laws, and he practically demonstrated the same. He also explained those laws that were not clearly detailed in the Noble Qur’ān. In order for him to carry out his work of da’wah, ta’līm, and tablīgh, Allāh Ta'ala  selected his companions, i.e., the Ṣaḥābah radiyallahu 'anhum . These magnificent people went through great difficulty, put their lives on the line, and they spread and conveyed the beliefs, principle and subsidiary rulings of Islām. They protected the Dī...

The Final Word on the Mushajarat-e-Sahabah - Mawlana Zafar Ahmad 'Uthmani rahimahullah

Image
  'When you have seen in the ayaat of the Noble Qur'an and the authentic blessed Ahadith of Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam that all the Sahabah radiyallahu 'anhum are just and their sins have been forgiven - even though some slip might have occurred from them - and the consensus, i.e., ijma', of the Ummah to speak only good about them - then do not be deceived by the reports in the history books, like those from Tabari , Ibn Athir , and the like. This is because these reports are not free from the distortions and fabrications that have been inserted by the Rawafid and the Khawarij .  Whoever has insight into the field of narrations will certainly know that the Islamic history books , although they can be relied upon in general incidents, they are not merited to base any article of faith or any action worthy of practice upon it. It is necessary to have a chain of narration for this, from the Noble Qur'an or Sunnah for this, i.e., an article of faith...

The Punishment of the One who invaded the Privacy of Umm-ul-Mu'minin Sayyidah A'isha radiyallahu 'anha

Image
  Ibn Kathir rahimahullah said in Al-Bidayah wan Nihayah vol.10 p.242, in the events of 36 AH, the Battle of Jamal: It is said that A'yan bin Dubay'ah Al-Mujashi'i looked into the palanquin, the palanquin of Umm-ul-Mu'minin Sayyidah A'isha radiyallahu 'anha. She said, "Be away, may Allah curse you."  He said, "By Allah, I do not see anyone but Humayra, i.e., Sayyidah A'isha radiyallahu 'anha." She said to him, "May Allah expose your secret, cut off your hand, and expose your nakedness." He was subsequently killed in Basra, and hanged, his hand was cut off, and was flung naked into one of the ruins of Azd.  Note: This was the horrible end result of the filthy man who tried to cause harm to Sayyidah Umm-ul-Mu'minin A'isha radiyallahu 'anha and invaded her privacy. It comes as no surprise that Khomeini was also stripped naked at his funeral, in all probability because of his extreme hatred for Umm-ul-Mu'minin Sa...

Who are the Sectarians?

Image
  Who are the Sectarians? What does Sectarianism mean? Who is responsible for Sectarianism, especially in the history of Islam? Hypocrites in the time of Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam During the lifetime of the final Nabi and Rasul of Allah Ta'ala deputed to humanity, Sayyiduna Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, there were a number of groups that the Muslims had to deal with. One was the polytheists, the other was the Christians, another was the Jews, then the Zoroastrians, and it goes without saying, the hypocrites.  The hypocrites caused immense harm to Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam; fleeing from battle, spreading false rumors about the messenger of Allah, siding with the polytheists time and again, siding with the Jews on multiple occasions, and despite being known for their vile deeds, they continued along as if nothing was wrong. Yet, they stood as a sect on their own, they were named in the Noble Qur'an as such, with their qu...
