Asslamo Allaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,
I have been contacted about the latest article on Deoband.org so many times on email, phone, text and WhatsApp it’s not even funny! Yes I have read it and also read the precursor to “Halafi Dawah” which was a critique of Sheikh Abu Abd Allah Damiel (HA) of Blackburn.
The Ulama who are involved in the writing of these critiques have the right (in fact duty) to inform the masses of what they deem to be operations contrary to the Qur’aan and Sunnah. I understand that.
In my opinion, these critiques don’t achieve much.
- The fundamental question which is not being addressed is HOW COME a “Halafi” is able to setup a professional institute in Blackburn dead smack in the heart of Deobandees and achieve success?
- Deobandi Ulama have had almost complete command of this geography for decades, how did someone come out of nowhere and surpass them in delivering professional Islamic Education?
- I asked the same question to some Mureeds of Shaykh (Maulana) Saleem Dhorat as to HOW “Halafees” are able to deliver houseful courses in Leicester?
- I also posed similar question to a Senior British Mufti 3 weeks ago on the phone about some other (Deobandi) Islamic institute.
- We also have the case of Sunniforum? WHO is responsible for decimating and destroying a platform of nearly 10,000 Deobandees?
If people don’t want to subject key stakeholders and decision makers to scrutiny (for whatever reasons) lets draw a line and move forward.
If Halafees are taking over the world, what are your institutes doing to produce individuals capable enough to counter their Dawah?
Until there is serious soul searching article about Halafi (or Halafees since there also appears to be a plural) won’t achieve much.
Doebandees have 750+ Mosques and 10+ Darul-ulooms in Britain, unprecedented amounts of money, expertise and resources on their fingertips. Deobandi Masajid & Darul-ulooms can do fundraising in the hundreds of thousands at the drop of a hat for extending Minarets and installing chanadlliers
How come they are being challenged by Halafees who don’t have even 1/10th of the resources and infrastructure of the Deobandees in Britain?
WHO MAKES THESE DECISIONS WHICH HAVE COST DEOBANDEES SO MUCH? DECISIONS WHICH HAVE RESULTED IN THEIR SUPERMECY BEING CHALLENGED IN THEIR OWN BACKYARD?
