Massacre in Egypt & Deobandees (Part 3)

Asslamo Allaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

First and foremost, everyone reading this should make dua for our Brothers & Sisters in Egypt for Allah (SWT) to protect the believers, their life, their honour, their trust and their wealth and to give the highest status in paradise to those who have passed away (Ameen).

Secondly, this is my opinion of the state of the Deobandees in the West based on my limited experience and understanding and I am liable to error. It is your right to disagree, Insha’Allah.

Please recap Part 1

Please recap Part 2

Since I am neither a Scholar nor knowledgeable I have no choice but to consult Scholars and to draw upon life experiences to make sense of prevailing circumstances/situations. Two of the strangest anecdotes of my life are as follows.

At a wedding, a Shaykh once told us that the Arabs regard Sayyidina Muawiyya (RA) as one of the most accomplished and seasoned politicians. Sayyidina Muawiyya (RA) handling of political crises and his tactics are a lesson for us even today. Shaykh explained that Sayyidina Muawiyya (RA) once said that the connection between a leader and his people is nothing but a think feeble thread and when the people slacken the leader must pull (slightly) and when the people pull the leader must slacken (slightly) and it’s a very delicate balance otherwise the thread will break! Shaykh went on to elaborate that this is exactly how a Muslim husband should treat his wife to us youngsters.

My father died of brain cancer and by the time I arrived at the hospital after his surgery he was already in Coma (and didn’t recover until he passed away a few months later). During his coma he of course was not reacting towards any stimuli except for when in the hospital I mentioned “Muhammad (Sallallaho Alaihe Wassalllam)” by itself without the salutations and he came out of the coma said the following and then went back into coma:

?درور پڑھ یہ تیرے باپ کا نام ہے کیا

Send salutations; is this the name of your father?

My father wasn’t a particularly religious man but like the overwhelming majority of people from South Asia he had immense reverence and utmost love for not only Sayyidina Rasul-ullah (Sallallaho Alaihe Wassallam) but anything and everything associated with him. If this is the state of the laymen then you can imagine the state of the Ulamah and deobandi Ulamah and Mashaykh have demonstrated absolute love and devotion towards anything and everything associated with Sayyidina Rasul-ullah (Sallallaho Alaihe Wassallam) including the Haramain in Saudi Arabia.

The (robbers) of Saudi Arabia have always exploited this emotional link (and devotion) since the beginning. When the ottoman Empire was destroyed a stunned silence of disbelief shadowed the Muslim Ummah, such an event had never occurred in the history of Ummah; Muslims were rudderless! It took nearly four (4) years for the Muslim ummah to wake up and the first Caliphate conference was setup in Cairo in May 1926. Abd al-Aziz ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia decided to schedule a rival conference in Makkah a month later (knowing well that the delegations won’t be able to attend both due to travel constraints of the time). Ulamah of Deoband due to affinity to Haramain decided to attend the Makkah conference; the issue of Khailafah is unresolved even today. Events are very cleverly manipulated to gain public sympathy and to mould public opinion using wide spread public love and devotion to the Haramain.

When President (General) Pervez Musharraf ordered the 2007 Jamia Hafsa massacre, at the height of it when public opinion was turning against the dictator a special visitor arrived in Pakistan. This guest was none other than Shaykh Abdul Rahman Ibn Abdul Aziz as-Sudais (HA) who made public dua for President (General) Pervez Musharraf, walked with him hand in hand and led Salah at various places; public pressure against President (General) Pervez Musharraf successfully brought down a few notches.

Birds of a feather flock together!

The same Shaykh Abdul Rahman Ibn Abdul Aziz as-Sudais (HA) in 2013 triumphantly sang eulogies of his “King” and denounced Ikhwwanul-Muslimeen in Egypt as terrorists in his Friday Sermon. King Abdullah of Saudia is no different than his predecessors and Shaykh as-Sudais (HA) is no different then his!

Deobandees will not utter a word regarding either because they consider any objection to the diabolical political shenanigans of either a matter of Aqeedah which cannot be disagreed with. The outbursts of Shaykh as-Sudais (HA) was so bad that it prompted even a devout Salafi like Shaykh Abu Eesa (HA) couldn’t keep silent about it!

Deobandees have cooperated with Saudi Arabia since the Makkah conference of 1926 until now and their reward has been these Fatwaas on the premier Saudi website (islam-qa):

The moment the news of a visit of an “Imam of Haram” breaks, frenzy takes over in the Deobandi circles and they travel from an end of the country to catch Maghrib Salah behind the Imam. Links for watching (live and recorded) Khutbahs are exchanged through social media sites and forums threads are made sticky.

Moreover, in UK Deobandees have taken it to the next level by following Saudi moonsighting, a good friend of mine told me that years ago he called his local Mosque to enquire about the start of Ramadhan and the person on the phone responded, “Our Qiblah is in Saudi Arabia so we follow Saudi Arabia in moonsighting!”; my friend hadn’t even asked for whom they follow he merely wanted to know the start of Ramadhan. It is not uncommon in UK to equate following Saudi Arabia in moon sighting to be an integral part of Muslim Aqeedah and a manifestation of love for Haramain and this can be seen in the monthly newsletters posted on most (Saudi following Mosques). Fiqh of Imam Abu Haneefa (RA) has a position on global moon sighting (anywhere on the globe) and nothing specific on moon sighting of Haramain let alone Saudi Arabia!

This conveniently takes me to the second part of this blog...

Most deobandees consider Salafees as a monolithic group and are unaware of any divisions. Many of our older Gujrati brothers even call them Salaf”s” instead of Salaf”ees”. Salafees come in all shapes and variations but the worst ones are Madkhalees (of the followers of Rabee' Ibn Haadee 'Umayr al-Madkhalee (HA)) in our times. Most of the angry young men and women of our times who are associated with Salafees are by and large Madkhalees or graduates of the infamous Madina university he was the former head of one of the departments.

Most Deobandees only know of the rejection of Madhabs and the rudeness of Madkhalees. However, what they don’t know is in context of our discussions:

It was the Madkhalee inspired Al-Nour party which broke apart from the Islamic party in Egypt and supported General el-Sisi triggering wide spread massacre of Muslims
Madkhalee Scholars in Saudia & beyond continue to attack the innocent Muslims being slaughtered in Egypt!
Madkhalees are foremost in cooperating in the war on Terror
Madkhalee support the King (rulers) in Saudia who in turn support them and cycle continues

It is difficult to go into details of different kinds of Salafees but a Salafi well known amongst Deobandees is Shaykh Abdullah Azzam (RA), to the UK Deobandees Shaykh (Dr) Haitham al-Haddad is also well known so It is time to ditch this one size fits all “Salafi contextualisation” and recognise that not all Salafees are the same... Egyptian crisis has opened the eyes of even the most ardent Salafi supporters and the mask has been ripped from the faces of Madkhalees.

Lastly, I would like to state that there is a thin and feeble thread cbetween the laymen and the Ulamah. News and analysis spreads far and wide and people are no longer willing to merely swallow their information. Our youngsters are browsing the web and asking awkward questions, a young man called me a few weeks ago and asked why are there so many “Anti-Deobandi” Fatwaas from Saudi sources? Why do our Ulamah and Mashaykh host these Saudi guests, don’t they know about these Fatwaas?

I directed him to our Shaykh (Mufti) A.S. Desai (HA) as he appears to be the only one recognising the political games of the Saudi regime, almost all of the rest of the Deobandees seem to condemn the Salafees (collectively) on one hand and then condone Saudi Arabia, its Government, praise and authenticate its Scholars (on good and bad) on the other.

It’s time for the Deobandees to evaluate their allegiances lest the laymen turn away in droves like what is happening to Madkhali’ism (worldwide). I don’t exactly know what the Madkhali reasons for supporting everything Saudi is but the Deobandees have nothing but love, devotion and respect for the Haramain which drives their love for the Saudees.

Assalamu Alaikum

Respected Colonel Hardstone

Please find the latest article my Hahdrat Maulana A S Desai on the Egyptian fiasco:

THE EGYPTIAN CONFLAGRATION
A CONFLICT BETWEEN ISLAM AND KUFR
The illegitimate ousting of President Morsi, the glut of massacres of members of Ikhwaanul Muslimeen, the banning of the Muslim Brotherhood and the general mayhem, turmoil and destruction perpetrated by America's surrogate Egyptian army and the kuffaar segment of Egypt's populace are all ingredients in an epic conflict and struggle between Islam and kufr. The conflict currently tearing apart Egypt is not an ordinary political fight for power. It is in reality a satanic conspiracy to extinguish Islam in Egypt. It is a plot in which the U.S., Israel, Saudi Arabia and the spineless, treacherous surrogate army of Egypt will miserably fail. Whilst these enemies of Islam are bent on eliminating Islam, the dastardly plot will be scuttled for the Qur'aan Majeed declares:
"They (the kuffaar � U.S., Israel and Saudi Arabia in the current context)
plot to extinguish the Noor of Allah whilst Allah intends to complete
(and perfect) His Noor although the kuffaar abhor it."

Since this dunya has been ordained by Allah Ta'ala to be the arena for the conflict between Islam and kufr � Haqq and baatil � there is nothing surprising in the unfolding of the events we are observing today in Egypt and elsewhere. The entire plot of anarchy in Egypt is an orchestration by the kufr Egyptian army acting at the behest of Israel, Saudi Arabia and the U.S.A. which obviously is the backbone of the tinpot surrogate statelings of Saudi Arabia and Israel. Minus America, these cardboard states have no independent existence. Today the Saudi regime has been driven by an insane fear into a haraam 'wahdatul wujood' embrace with the U.S. and Israel.
The despicable role of Saudi Arabia in the unholy and pernicious plot to wipe out Islam in Egypt is a clear sign of the Saudi regime's desperation. It is sheer desperation which has constrained the Saudi regime to clamour for the destruction of the Egyptian Ummah. The Egyptian Ummah of Islam excludes that segment of the population which has so treacherously and murderously campaigned and resorted to thuggery and murder motivate by their abhorrence for Islam. The only bone of contention and the rationale for having ousted Morsi was the name 'Islam'. The appearance of 'Islam' in an extremely diluted form in Morsi's constitution was intolerable for the kuffaar masquerading as 'Muslims'.
It should be noted that brand of Islam promoted by the Ikhwaanul Muslimeen is not the same as the orthodox Sunnah brand of Islam for which the Taliban are fighting in Afghanistan. Morsi's version of Islam is extremely 'mild' � in fact, baatil according to our understanding of the Deen. Nevertheless, even this extremely dilute form of Islam is unacceptable to the enemies of Islam, including Saudi Arabia. For serving its own treacherous agenda, the Saudi regime is prepared to stuffle and annihilate Islam. The desperation displayed by the Saudi regime is the realization that Writing for its demise is already on the wall. Now the reaction is irrational, hence the desperation. In its opinion, the Saudi rulers believe that their only saviour is the U.S.A. In the region, the Saudi regime sees that its only enemy is Islam which the 'Islamists' are representing. It is Islam which is the danger for Israel and America. Thus the U.S.-Israel-Saudi Arabia are joined in a satanic coalition against Islam which is the common 'enemy' of these three Satanist members of the Shaitaani league.
This League of Shaitaan has resolved to eliminate Islam, hence the current Egyptian conflagration. The very same conspiracies are being engineered in Tunisia and Libya where the clamour for the elimination of Islam has already been sounded. The current Thug regime in Egypt backed to the hilt by the Saudi regime, is the selfsame Hosni Mubarak clique of murderers and torturers.
Whilst the Ummah at large, due to its impotency, has become an idle observer witnessing the murder of the Brethren in Egypt, Muslims are not expected to acquit themselves like morons lapping up the Saudi disgorgement which profiles the Ikhwaanul Muslimeen as 'terrorists'. In fact, today in the U.S. and Saudi concept 'terrorism' is Islam � the Sunnah of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). The Sunnah to which the Sahaabah had adhered is today 'terrorism' for Saudi Arabia. Muslims endeavouring to emulate the Sahaabah in their small weak way are branded 'terrorists' by the Saudis and the U.S. with its lackeys. If the Sunnah which some Muslims are endeavouring to adopt is terrorism, then we are all proud Terrorists. If the Ikhwaanul Muslim are 'terrorists' on account of their proclamation of islam, albeit in a diluted form, then we all are 'terrorists' together with the Ikhwaan. The entire Ummah, both modernists and orthodox, who support Morsi and his Ikhwaan, is 'Terrorist'.
In order to deflect the focus of the universal Ummah at large from the U.S.-Saudi-Israeli plot to wipe out Islam from Egypt, the Ikhwaanul Muslimeen are being portrayed as terrorists whilst the Saudi regime is the real Terrorist supported by the American and Israeli Terrorists.
Despite the Ummah's political and physical impotency, Muslims the world over are incumbently required to offer moral support to the Muslims of Egypt represented today by Morsi and his Ikhwaanul Muslimeen outfit. It is the duty of the Ummah to engage in constant supplication (Dua) for the Brethren in Egypt. May Allah Ta'ala destroy the enemies of Islam.
The Muslim community in South Africa should be diligent in understanding that some South African 'muslims', agents of Saudi Arabia are prowling in our midst, subtly endeavouring to sell Saudi policies with the objective of imposing Saudi hegemony over us. Among these agents are Reverend Abraham Bham of the NNB Jamiat clique and their najis mouthpiece, Radio Shaitaan which monotonously disgorges fisq and fujoor, and 'guardedly' peddling Saudi propaganda. The Saudi regime no longer has a legitimate claim to Custodianship of the Haramain Shareefain. Since it has flagrantly abrogated the Shariah and increasingly aping the West in all spheres of life, it is now an effective kufr government whose destruction will be implemented by Allah Ta'ala Himself. If the Saudi regime does not change direction to travel on Siraatul Mustaqeem � if it does not repent - and if it does not cease from all the zulm it is perpetrating, then let it know:
"A power can still remain with kufr. It cannot be
perpetuated with zulm.
The Muslim Ummah of the world should make it loudly clear to the zaalim Saudi regime that its support and dua are with Morsi and the Ikhwaanul Muslimeen. May Allah Ta'ala dispatch His Nusrat
