Maktabah Al-Imām Al-Ghazālī

  All praise is for Allah Ta’ālā, the sole deity worthy of worship. May peace, salutations, and benedictions be upon the final Rasūl of Allāh, Sayyidunā Muḥammad Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. The book under review has gained traction in many circles, and is now gaining popularity in South Africa. Looking at the hype around the book, we also acquired a copy and began reading it with the hope of gaining inspiration from the lives of the illustrious pious predecessors in our chain of knowledge. However, as we went along, we were surprised (but not utterly astonished) to note the brief and problematic sentences that seems to promote a different kind of picture from the original that we had about the illustrious saintly personality of Mawlānā Ḥusain Aḥmad Madanī raḥimahullāh . Hereunder, we shall list the problematic issues, which we feel, must be corrected by the Editor, and the Publisher. 1.       The disrespect for the pious personalities tha...

  “Every calamity that has befallen this Ummah, every decline this Ummah has faced, and every disaster this Ummah has passed through, including Karbala, the first person responsible for it is ‘Umar.”  – Husayn Badr-ud-D in Houthi 1.     The Houthis of Yemen are the stooges of Iran.

Sistani has a long history of swearing Umm-ul-Mu’minīn Sayyidah ‘Ā’isha raḍiyallāhu ‘anhā. Other ‘Ulamā’ have explained that the Houthis subscribe to Khamanei as their lea...

  Mujajjid Alf e Thani rahimahullah said, "The honor of Islam is dependent upon abasing kufr and the people of kufr. Those who honor the people of kufr are humiliating Islam. Honoring the people of kufr is not confined to a display of honor or giving them a prominent position in a meeting. It also refers to accommodating them in one's gatherings, socializing with them, and enjoying discussions with them.  Allah Ta'ala says that the disbelievers are His enemies and the enemies of His beloved Rasul. Therefore, interacting with these enemies of Allah and His Rasul, and loving them is a major sin." - Maktub 163  Note: If interacting and socializing with disbelievers is a major sin, then what can be said of interfaith? We seek the protection and forgiveness of Allah Ta'ala from the blasphemy and polytheism of interfaith.
