every fraud/fraudster and deviency needs a USP and a rallying cry i guess. take my advice and stay away from anyone with a cult following and has a celeb status. not saying all are bad but at least this way you wont end up disappointes. theres plenty of real gems and awliya out there who can do your tazkiya but no one wants to knw them cos they not famous. strange times.

When Peer Zulfiqar and Khulafa were originally confronted many years about these matters they routinely dismissed regular Ulama as those who have no experience in the professional world. They still do this and say that Fatwaas of “Maulvees” who are graduates of Darul-uloom are not reliable/applicable as they don’t understand the reality of modern life.


Honestly speaking Pir Zulfiqar Sahab mostly indulges in things like Wazoo Ke Masa-il.
We already had Maulwis for that kind of knowledge.

If I was listening to the routine theological stuff from him then it was due to him having a degree in electrical engineering.

Indeed I loved it when he gathered the courage to go to Burma when it was needed most. That he was immediately packed back will not be taken against him.

But certain things can be taken against him. I do feel that he was drawing excessive monetary benefits from his spiritual empire.

Secondly I shall not allow the ladies in my family to draw any Deen from him after the lax code that he has been found to be implementing in interactions with the females.

This brings us to the problem of the Fatwah not being about him.

I can understand the Dar-ul-Uloom not naming the names. This is their precaution.

That the information has leaked about the Fatwah being about Pir Sahab, whom his fans have are now calling Shaikh though earlier books that I have explicitly mention Pir, is also just as well.

The cat is out of the bag and it is unlikely to return back to captivity.

We the common people need desperately a guidance about the celebrity Shaikhs and Pir Sahab seems to be of no help in that regard.

We also need guidance regarding sticking to Islam in modern times when the environment is completely against Islam. Pir Sahab was not illuminating us on that front in spite of his electrical engineering degree.

In conclusion even if the Fatwah is not about Pir Sahab I have lost much of the interest and a most of the trust.

I am sorry I need help about Islam and I am not going to take it from Pir Sahab henceforth.

If some of the Khalifas are still with him and there are still people in Africa and the west financing his visits then it is good for him.

I have a different problem to adjust with. Lately there has been a avalanche like phenomenon in India where one after another Hindu godman have been exposed on the sexual misconduct front. I was thanking Allah SWT that he has bestowed us with better pious people. I shall admit that case of Pir Sahab is not that stark. But suspicion has certainly entered in our hearts. We shall simply be extra alert henceforth.

So the fan boys may kindly not test our patience and focus upon the real problem - their Shaikh not being careful enough when it came to gender segregation.

Asalam o Alaikum, I don’t know that how my words will be interpreted or understood. However, I have unfortunately observed in at least two of the institutions (shobajaat) of deen that mostly nowadays ritual practice (rasam) is being initiated instead of actual, goal oriented effort. (ba maqsad – nateeja khaiz).

I think that this indicates that the time of arrival of the last mujaddid is nearing. This is one of the indications of the arrival of a mujaddid that true and visionary scholars are rare and difficult to find. What I mean is that as the time will pass great scholars will eventually die one by one and very few great scholars will be left. It can also be said in another way that the level of scholarship and the institutions which train and create scholars will keep on declining in quality and so real scholars will be rare.

I have some ideas to share but for now I have to say this.

1. Essential ilm of deen which every Muslim must possess instead of going into nitty gritty fiqhi details with which one is not concerned with.
2. Dhikr of Allah and spending time in masjid. Focus on developing and protecting one self and the family unit from fitan.
3. Silence. A lot of fitnas originate from talking.
4. Instead of focusing and associating oneself with personalities one should focus on great ideas.
5. Constant check on one’s iman. If any methodology or system doesn’t increase one’s iman and doesn’t benefit one spiritually and intellectually then adopt another method. Not every system is for everyone. An effort of deen may benefit a large number of people but it is not necessary that it will suit or fulfill everyone’s needs.

Here a statement of Maulana Tariq Jamil Sahab is coming to my mind which he made in bayan after the death of Junaid Jamshed RH. He said that “We are indulged in rules and routines to an extent that we have forgotten the real essence of dawah… You can’t limit everyone within the same limited methodology as everyone has different intellectual and emotional capabilities.” (paraphrase)

Please forgive me if I have un intentionally offended anyone.

Even though they have left, it is important for those who have benefited from the Shaykh to still have adab and be respectful as the Shaykh was the means of their nisbat otherwise it will be disastrous for them.

the brother defending peer sab is talking about the other side of things, if there is another side and you think it will help clear his name why are you not posting about what the other side is?

there were death threats because of one post? it should not have been removed, but the alim should have stood up for haq

if karachi du knows this is definitely proven to be peer sab then they should do more than this unnamed fatwa? i saw they or mufti taqi written a fatwa on akram awan

all this brings us to a more important question, we cannot do without tasawuf because of such incidents as we cant do without tabligh because of the so called current amir or madaris because of like incidents, so who are the real shaikhs of today, that people have spent time with, dealt personally with, who shows caution with women and money of muredeen, i think it should be a seperate thread, so people know where to go instead of opting for a DIY style

Asalaamualaikum,

With Regards to commenting on any Sheikhs of Tasawwuf, it is extremely important to be cautious (specially, When many people have benefitted from them in the past). If you find anything against the Shariat in them, you need to see the severity of the act and then dis-associate from him in the best possible way, make Dua for his reform. In all this process , we should also keep an eye on our Nafs and always remember that Nafs and Shaitan may also lead us in wrong direction. (Be more doubtful on your Nafs).

Before taking Bayt with anyone, you need to spend some time and try to first discuss your Islahi issues and check whether his advices are working for you . In short whether he is compatible for you or not. Coming to conclusions very quickly in deciding a Shaykh is not helpful.

Also before starting in Tasawwuf, we should have clear understanding of Shariat in terms of Halaal/Haraam/Farz/Wajib/Kabair. This will help in identifying incorrect practises followed by some in Tasawwuf and will give you a boundary line.

I have given bait to a Chishti Tablighi Shaykh. He lives in another province. I only met him once but unfortunately or fortunately lost my mobile with his contact number in it. I was unable to contact him after my first meeting with him. However, I am Alhamdulillah consistent in the adhkaar he gave. I am feeling inner peace.

If tassawuf is about activating lataif then I can assure you that it is doable without suhbah of the peer provided that one guards oneself from sins and one keeps on doing one's daily adhkar, salah, tilawah etc.

If tassawuf is about leaving bad habits then one can leave anger and gain sabr and leave other spiritual illnesses and gain good qualities etc by combining the tassawuf amal with the khurooj of tabligh for at least 4 months and be patient on bad manners of saathis. Provided that he observes the rules of tabligh like avoiding layani, use of mobile, wastage of time and going out of masjid often and instead exhausts all his energy in talim, dhikr, gasht. What I mean is that Islah demands sacrifice and correct intention.

I am not saying that khanqahi system is faulty but it would be difficult for me to trust a regular proper face to face connecting with shaykh sufi system from now on. Also my observations can be wrong and specific to me or individuals like me. I am not saying that it is a general rule.

People may laugh at me but I seriously believe that women should do bayah to their husbands, brothers and fathers and leader of the house should be pious enough to guide and lead his family to a basic and necessary level at least.

Also we must take inspiration of being vigilant in searching for the haq from the life of Suleman Farsi Radi Allah Anhu. I like his courage and spirit of searching for the truth and striving hard for it. As far as Knowledge of deen is concerned yes we need madaris and ulema to teach us the basics of deen and a common Muslim only needs the basics.

DIY approach is indeed dangerous and useless but ultimately it is one's inner light and a very strong connection with Allah, lots of astafghar and continuous asking of mercy and guidance from Allah that will eventually save us from fitan. Along with gaining academic knowledge of deen we must also try to gain baseerah and insight. We must make a habit of contemplating and pondering on our situation on individual and collective level as well.

Actually a delicate balance has to be created between aqal and passion. It is my observation that the problem lies in excess of everything and Islam is a deen of balance. We must attain hikmah of balancing various aspects of the methodology we are applying or adopting to improve our character. There are currently certain things that are out of proportion. For instance totally relying on one's peer judgement and worshiping him or on the other hand totally forsaking tassawuf and painting every one with the same brush. Another example is just because I love a particular scholar then I will believe and defend every decision he makes or every statement he makes. Either I will worship him or I will declare him a kafir. I mean why it is difficult for me to appreciate and respect a scholar even if I disagree to some of his ijtihadi judgements. Why can't I follow another scholar of the same school of thought with a different ijtihadi judgement on a particular matter while maintaining respect for those scholars from whom I have benefited in other matters of deen? What I mean is that (maybe I am wrong) that I think taqlid of a single school of thought is necessary but taqlid of only one scholar in that school of thought doesn't click with me. What I mean is that we must focus on concepts instead of personalities and favoritism.

This post was not to target any individual. These are just my observations and can be wrong.

The benefit you get from a good Shaykh is generally far more superior than our own Islahi efforts . Reason for this is the experience he has in the Islah , different prescriptions for moral problems of Nafs and understanding of the tricks of Shaitan.

But if it is difficult to find a good Shaykh , below are some alternatives you can try till you find a good Shaykh

1) Reading books on Islahi topics daily written by Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi(R.A). This will help us in constantly finding our shortcomings. Hazrat has written very good basic books for Islah.
2) Reading books on the bio-graphies of pious people like Maulana Ismail Shaheed(R.A), Maualana Ilyas(R.A) etc. This will help you in inspiring courage/resolve to follow the deen in difficult situations.
3) Spending quality time in zikr daily.
4) Remebering our death for some time daily before going to sleep and checking our faults. This will help in doing Taubah.

Jazakallahu Khayran for everyone who has contacted me in the past few weeks on this topic. I have heard from brothers and I have heard from Sisters through their Mehrams. NO Sister has directly contacted me about this issue, at all!

May Allah (SWT) ease your pain and make it easy for you to follow the Sunnah (Ameen).

What you say is your side of the story and Islamic Shariah DOES NOT permit me to either reveal it or propagate it without hearing both sides.

All we done here is publish a translated Fatwa from Darul-uloom Karachi which I understand they didn’t want translated.

  1. We didn’t leak it.
  2. We didn’t translate it.
  3. We didn’t make it public, it was already public.

  3. We didn’t make it public, it was already public.

Reminder:

Peer Zulfiqar Saheb (HA) is an older Muslim and follower of Sunnah so respect should be given. All we have done is given you information that IF HE IS YOUR SHAYKH, you need to reconsider!

Nothing gives us the right to spread gossip, the facts about him are well known.

Go to this Shaykh A or Shaykh B:

To those asking people to go see Hazrat A or Hazrat B, let me repeat this for the 100th time!

EVERY SINGLE SENIOR KHALEEFA in the world knows about it and has been briefed.

For years Ulama and Mashaykh have tried to resolve this behind the scene, silently and quietly and have failed.

So your suggestion to take it to Hazrat X or Hazrat Y is ridiculous because they already know. Mashaykh in India/Pakistan have NO DOUBT about this matter but they don’t know how to handle it back in India/Pakistan.

In the West, we are dealing with different kind of Muslims who are mature enough to take a step back and look at this objectively.

Peer Zulfiqar Saheb’s Silsila in Pakistan is extremely powerful (politically and financially) and YOU WILL NOT SURVIVE openly opposing him. Again, I am not saying that he will orchestrate vendetta against you but in Pakistan it is extremely difficult for people to stand up to someone with massive connections.

DUK should be applauded for taking the extra ordinary step of even speaking about it.

25FEB2018 UPDATE:

DISCLAIMER: THESE ARE NOT THE DIRECT STATEMENTS OF ANY OF THESE MASHAYKH BUT THIS IS MY RESEARCH.

MODUS OPERANDI: Peer Zulfiqar Saheb and his Silsila dealt in granting Khilafah to certain kind of individuals and Ulama who are up and coming, influential, educated, professionals etc. You will see this again and again in the people who ascribe to this SIlsila. Nothing wrong with the strategy by the way but here is ground reality in various countries.

This is the update...

Zambia:

Peer Zulfiqar and his (visiting) Khulafa will NEVER be allowed to speak in important Mosque or Institute in the country.

South Africa:

Peer Zulfiqar and his (visiting) Khulafa will NEVER be allowed to speak in important Mosque or Institute in the country.

United Kingdom:

  1. Shaykhul-Hadeeth (Maulana) Ayub Saheb: Very Senior Scholar of Hadeeth and Shaykh of Tassawuff, never advertised Khilafah and never conducted Majalis of Peer Zulfiqar. They must have met in Zambia because they both visited there a lot. It is an honour of Peer Zulfiqar to have someone like this in his Tareeqa and not the way around
  2. Mufti Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera: Never advertised Khilafah and never conducted Majalis of Peer Zulfiqar.

There is nobody else senior enough in UK to mention and these two have no case to answer!

America:

  1. Kamaluddin Ahmed (New York): Well known and disowned by Peer Zulfiqar for being a rebel, Silsila even refuses to call him a "Mufti"
  2. Syed Omar Hussaini (Florida): Well known and disowned by Peer Zulfiqar for being a rebel, Silsila even refuses to call him a "Maulana"
  3. Shaykh Husain Abdul Sattar: He has decided to take a back seat in this issue and has not been in touch with Peer Zulfiqar for some time. He has been busy with local projects so he has quietly stepped back because he wants to concentrate on other issues. (Maulana) refuses to talk on this topic!

There is nobody else senior enough or close enough in USA and the position of these 3 is enough to satisfy American Muslims.

Canada:

I have not done my homework...

Pakistan:

  1. Maulana Abdus Sattar (HA): Left Peer Zulfiqar close to a decade ago and does not make any comments
  2. Shaykh Humayun Akhtar (Karachi): Senior Shaykh of Tassawuff and well known, disowned by Peer Zulfiqar for being a rebel.
  3. Dr Rehmat Ali (Karachi): Well known and disowned by Peer Zulfiqar for being a rebel

There are MANY MANY MANY Ulama and Mashaykh who have broken Bay't or Khilafah and moved on and just decided not to get into tabloid trash!

India:

I have not done my homework...
