My heart goes out to some sisters who have no knowledge of deen apart from the basic,salah,roza and zakat and reading quran,but their husbands are hard core barelvi,and they dont know any better,only learnt what they were thought by their husbands,regarding millad and other stuffs and apart from that they none the wiser,and they think everyone else dont love the prophet or wali of Allah,so everyone else is on the wrong path,they look at us with pity,that we are misguided. i do feel sorry for them because they are brain washed by their families,and they not educated in religion or are from back home,who dont know how to read or right,but just follow their families. May Allah guide all those who are illiterate,ameen.

Barewli's have been busy in false accusations of the Ulamah Haq but this week they have been busy in false claims against the Holy prophet (s.a.w),they have made a false one foot print in chakwal, punjab Pakistan..which is 5 feet long and a few feet wide in a house and claim that Allah Forbid the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) came to visit on Eid Milad..thousands of ignorant people have been flocking there to see.

Miracles were performed by prophets through the command of Allah سبحانه وتعالى during their lifetimes. There are no examples in history that a prophet has performed a miracle after their demise.

If a miracle was to be performed, it would be of significance. How is the footprint which is 5 times bigger than the foot of Nabi (saw)

appearing in Pakistan a miracle? Why do these things ONLY happen in Pakistan and India?

I have seen so many images and videos of it and firstly it doesn't look like a foot, it looks like a huge pear dropped on that land and left a pear shaped mark. There is no light at all let alone bright light.

There's been no reports of fragrance and if your bhabhi said she could smell it, it was probably someone wearing a lot of Itr or perfume close by or someone cooking something amazing but smelling something that doesn't exist from miles away is in many ways rediculing Islam, rediculing Nabi (s) and the numerous miracles that took place during his lifetime.

The only miracle I can see in that is thousands of people who believe it. Allah سبحانه وتعالى has truly limited guidance and common sense to a handful of chosen people and honestly seeing that makes me feel very grateful that I am not easily mislead by hoaxes.

I hope this helps in any way and I meant NO disrespect to anyone in particular.

It's simple. If there's a footprint, it's probably a footprint. But why our prophets footprint? What does that even signify?

Does anyone remember the milk that the hindu's claimed their elephant god drank it all? I don't see any difference between their 'miracle' claim and this one. In fact, for naive people, the hindu miracle is probably more likely to be believed and it makes more sense as a 'miracle' - However, please look at this in a normal view, tell a non-Muslim about this miracle and they will say, "So?" - Tell a non-Muslim about the bowl of milk that 70 Sahaabah drank to their full from and they'll be intrigued or about the Camel from the mountain or about living in fire that became cool. Compare all that to a footprint.

The ONLY footprint of ANY significance is Maqaam-e-Ibraheem.

Yes i noticed that,few questions If there was such a chance of the Holy Prophet(s.a.w) walking around why hasn't anyone seen such a thing during the biggest gathering of the Hajj?, or during the 2 Islamic Eids? why in Pakistan and why during an invented custom?when all invented customs will be in Hell (Hadith),why 5 feet long? when Rasulullah (s.a.w) was of medium height,why only one foot? when we know the devil uses one shoe.The Muslim belief is that Rasulullah (s.a.w) is buried in Madina and that angels take the Darood and salutations there sent from far.

Barelwis
by Moulana Bilaal Cassim, Student: Darul Ifta

You were unfortunate to come into contact with members of the Barelwi sect. This corruption is rife in the Indo-pak subcontinent where it originated from and has no adherents outside the Indian community. This group holds many un-Islamic beliefs and have incorporated many Hindu and Shirk customs and practices into their doctrine. Many Ulama have written detailed refutations of these evils in the Urdu language, among them, Moulana Muhammad Yusuf Ludyanwi Shaheed (RA) whose outstanding book, 'Differences in the Ummah and the Straight Path' has been translated into English and is available from the Madrasah Arabia Islamia, Azaadville, South Africa.

To help clear your confusion, we will briefly address the issues raised in your correspondence.

Allah Ta'ala commands in the Qur'aan, 'O you who believe! Fear Allah and be with the Saadiqeen (truthful ones).' (Tawbah). Here, it is inferred that company of the pious is instrumental in assisting one towards the goal of Taqwa (fear of Allah). It is therefore, imperative that such a pious one be 'Muttabi us Sunnah' (a strict adherent of the Sunnha) so as to advise and assist others in attaining this goal. Such a person is indeed worthy of respect within the limits prescribed by the Shari'ah. It also follows that one who is himself involved and encourages practices and customs contrary to the Sunnah can never assist others except in Dhalaal (misguidance).

Many great and worthy personages and staunch upholders of the Sunnah have contributed tremendously to the service of Deen and have since left this world. They were indeed great 'Awliyaa' (friends) of Allah. Sadly, after their demise, some ignorant members of society fell into a great mischief. With hollow claims of Ta'zeem (according honour) and Muhabbat (love), they have began perpetrating such heinous evils that shake the very foundations of Deen. Were the Awliyaa, in whose names these are carried out, alive, they would have been the first to outlaw them. Among these evil practices, hereunder are some of them:

Kissing or Bowing before Graves

Among all the evils perpetrated by these persons, these are surely the most heinous. Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) had expressly forbade that any person prostrate before him. He said, 'Were I to command anyone to prostrate before another, I would have commanded the wife to do so before her husband.' (Targheeb).

The learned scholars of Islam have clearly stated that such innovations are absolutely Haraam and in some situations, even Kufr. This can be understood from the following text (extracted from authoritative works):

"Whoever bows to the king with the intention of Ibaadat, becomes a Kaafir (disbeliever)'. It appears in Khulasa that, 'whoever prostrates before them with the intention of Ta'zeem (showing honour) like the Ta'zeem of Allah Ta'ala, he will become Kaafir. If his intention is just a greeting, some Ulama have accepted the view that he will not become a Kaafir (but such an act is Haraam). This is the most apparent view. Some Ulama, however, hold the view that he will become Kaafir in all cases. Concerning kissing of the ground, this is very close to bowing, except that placing the forehead or the cheek on the ground is worse than the cheek.'" (Fataawa Mahmoodiya vol.10 pg.60 quoting Fiqh Sharhul Akbar).
"Bowing to any besides Allah is Haraam." (Ibid)

"The best method when visiting the graveyard is to place one's back towards the Qibla while facing the Mayyit (deceased) and make Salaam. The hands should not be passed over the grave, nor should it be kissed or touched, for such is the custom of the Christians." (Ibid from Tahtaawi)

"One should not cling to a grave nor touch it ... one who is learned should inform and warn others against those innovations perpetrated by the ignorant, that Tawaaf (circumambulation) of the holy grave of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) takes place as around the Ka'bah and that the hands be passed over it or that it be kissed." (Ibid from Mudkhal)

The above quotations should be sufficient to portray the magnitude of perpetrating these acts of Shirk.

Strewing of Flowers Upon Graves

Mufti Mahmoodul-Hasan Gangohi (RA) has aptly replied to this question. He writes, "Strewing flowers or Chadars (shawls) upon graves is incorrect. Although it has been narrated that Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) had planted branches upon two graves, this was only because the occupants of those graves were suffering punishments. Then too the blessed hands of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) were used (which is not insignificant). When using this as substantiation for the practise of strewing flowers upon the resting places of the pious servants of Allah Ta'ala, is it then done out of the belief that these great personages, Allah forbid, are suffering divine punishments? Also, aside from those two graves, it is not established that Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) planted branches on any other occasions." (Fataawa Mahmoodiyya vol.1 pg.195; Mazhari)

We wish to add that should one sincerely wish to practise upon the Hadith, which cannot in any case be a basis for establishing Sunniyyaat (a practise being Sunnah), why adhere to flowers, an item according great importance by the Hindu religion?

Return of the Souls of Dead Persons to the World

While it is possible for a Jinn to enter the body, it is highly unlikely that souls of pious persons return to the world to indulge in such activities. To believe such is in fact contrary to many reliable Ahaadith. The following excerpt of the Hadith of Tirmidhi Sharif, one of the Sihah Sitta is quite conclusive in this regard:

"... his grave is then widened to the extent of 70 Ziras (cubit lengths) by 70 Ziras. Thereafter, an illumination is placed therein. It is then said to the deceased, 'sleep'. He asks, 'Can I return to my family to inform them?' The angels say, 'Sleep the sleep of a newly wed who is awakened only by his most beloved.' (He will remain in this state) until he is resurrected from that resting place by Allah Ta'ala." (Ibid vol.10 pg.79; from Mishkat)
Furthermore, the practise of Qawaali wherein musical instruments are played is Haraam and contrary to the very prophethood of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam), part of whose objectives were the destruction of musical instruments. Wearing of rose flower necklaces is a practise without any basis in Shari'ah.

Recital of Durood before Adhaan

Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Abi Laylha (Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates that Ka'ba ibn Ujra (Radhiallaahu Anhu) met me in the Musjid. He said to me, 'Should I not gift to you something that I had heard from Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam)?' I replied, 'Most certainly please do so.' He said, 'We asked Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam), 'O Rasul of Allah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam), How should we sent salaat (blessings) upon you (and) the Ahlul-Bayt (members of your household). For Allah Ta'ala has shown us only how to send salaams (salutations) upon you (but not Salaat)?' Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) replied, 'Say, O Allah send Salaat (blessings) upon Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) like how you sent them upon Ibraahim (Alayhis salaam). Verily thou art most worthy of praise, most honourable (the formula of Durood-e-Ibraahim).' (Bukhari and Muslim)

In this Hadith (tradition), Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) taught his Sahaaba (Radhiallaahu Anhu) the way of sending Salaat and Salaam (blessings and salutations) upon him. Also we see no similarity between the way taught by Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) and the baseless custom prevailing nowadays. Undoubtedly, Salaat is a powerful blessing and a means of great rewards, provided it is carried out in the way shown by our beloved Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). Neither has Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) nor the Sahaaba (Radhiallaahu Anhu), Taabi'een (RA) and pious predecessors specified any time or mode for reciting of Durood and Salaam as is the practise nowadays. Neither did any of the Sahaab nor Taabi'een carry out the practise that is now prevalent, rather they strongly opposed such innovations. To specify certain times, e.g. after Fardh (obligatory) prayers or after Jummu'ah, likewise, after Adhaan and to recite in a loud voice or in group form, etc. and regard these practises as necessary and part of Deen is undoubtedly an innovation.

It is narrated that Ibn Mas'ood (Radhiallaahu Anhu) once heard of a group that had gathered in a Musjid reciting the Kalimah and Durood and Salaam in a loud voice. He immediately confronted them and said, 'This is a practice we have not seen in the time of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). I see you all to be only Bidaaits (innovators).' He continued to say this until he had chased them all out of the Musjid. (Bazzaariyyah and Shaami). Most definitely, we should make it a practise torecite Durood and Salaam on Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) as much as possible, but we should be careful to do this only in the way shown by Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) himself. (Ahsanul Fataawa vol.1 pg.363; HM Saeed)

Although 'Assalaatu was Salaamu Alayka yaa Rasulullah' is a valid Durood, it is better to adopt these forms of Durood relayed by the Ahaadith. One collection of such Durood and Salaam of Shaykhul Hadith Moulana Zakariyya (RA)

Photographs / Video Cameras

The images appearing on live or recorded programs are not the pictures in the strict sense envisaged in the Ahaadith of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam), unless they are printed in a durable form on paper or any other object. However, they are not free of resemblance to such. It is apparent that these fall into the category of Mushtabihaat (matters of clarity and confusion). Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'Halaal is clear and Haraam is clear. Between them lie Mutashaabihaat, not known to many of the people. Whoever, abstains from these protects his Deen and honour. Whoever falls therein, falls into Haraam." (Arba'een Nawawi)

Lastly, one should not feel perturbed at being labelled a Wahhabi as true adherents of the Sunnah are generally called such names by the perpetrators of Bid'at (innovations)

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

The answer is correct,

A Query Regarding the Barelwis

By Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani
Translated by Ismaeel Nakhuda

An original Deoband.org article
Question:

All praise is to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and Salat wa Salam on the Messenger of Allah, and his family and Companions, all of them.

My noble shaykh 'Allamah Muhammad Taqi Usmani (may Allah protect him).

Assalamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh,

May you be well throughout the year (kullu 'aam wa antum bi khayr), may Allah accept your worship and may he return this 'Id on you, us and all Muslims with prosperity and blessings. I hope you, your family and all of your loved ones are well and in good health. Likewise, I hope you will excuse [me] for delaying writing for I was preoccupied with studies and the affairs of my family. And it is Allah from whom aid is sought.

I sent you a letter and a card on the occasion of 'Id al-Fitr, did they reach you?

I understood your indication and I hope for accordance (tawfiq); it is an honour to translate your book. However, I have been busy preparing for a PhD in copyright and among my most important references is your book Qadaya Fiqhiyyah Mu'asirah. I shall soon, Allah willing, translate some of your writings and will send you what I have translated then.

What does the shaykh, may Allah protect him, say regarding the Barelwi group, as this group is not found in our lands and I have not found a book in Arabic on them except a book by one of the 'ulama of Najd. I found him unjust with those who are not Barelwi and so I have not relied on his judgment and what he has quoted. Hence, it is hoped their situation is explained, for people are among those who are in extreme love or extreme hatred. Allah is the one who guides to what is correct.

Wassalamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah

Muhammad 'Ali Muhammad Ahdash

Answer:

To the noble brother 'Allamah Muhammad 'Ali Muhammad Ahdash, may Allah Most High protect him and watch over him.

Assalamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh,

I did indeed receive your noble letter with much happiness and prayed for accordance and success for you, and that Allah Most High grants you the ability to complete your work as he likes and pleases him. You have asked regarding two issues:[1]

The first is with regards to the Barelwi group, which is distinct from the majority of Muslims in some points of belief ('aqaid) and innovated practices (al-a'mal al-mubtada'ah). Among their beliefs is that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) knew the unseen and was cognizant of everything that was and shall be (ma kana wa ma yakun), and that his noble soul has the right of disposal in terms of benefiting and harming people. Their imam, Shaykh Ahmad Rada Khan al-Barelwi circulated a fatwa of kufr against the 'ulama of Deoband and even said that he who does not consider them a kafir is also a kafir. This was because they (the 'ulama of Deoband) had criticized their beliefs and said: the knowledge of the unseen is a quality (sifah) of Allah Most High, no one is a partner with him in this. However, He Most High informed His messengers of that which he wished from the unseen. Among their bid'ah practices is that they celebrate certain festivals that are not established in the Qur'an and Sunnah and consider them to be preferable (mustahab), rather they treat them like those actions that are wajib by expressing extreme loath for those who do not join them. Likewise, they have contrived certain practices when someone dies such as the family of the dead person inviting people on the third, tenth and fortieth day after the passing of the deceased. Food is prepared for them and he who does not do this is severely reprimanded. And there are many other such innovations.

Discourse regarding this group is plenty. However, that which I have mentioned is a summary of their beliefs and practices. Among them are those who exceed the limit in this, talk nonsense and are bigoted, and those who in comparison to the others are balanced.

And Allah Most High is the most knowledgeable.

[Mufti] Muhammad Taqi Usmani (may Allah forgive him)

Asslamo Allaikum,

My origins (Aqeedah, family and genetically) are Barlwee and our family knows Maulana Ahmed Raza Khan Barelwee Sahib (RA).

I just have one thing to say about this issue.

The entire Barelwee sect is based on "Opposing Wahabees" and if they stop it they would cease to exist.

There cannot define themselves as anything else, their opposition defines their Manhaj.

They cannot say that there are true Hanafees because their actions are against the sound position of the Hanafi Madhab i.e. kissing thumbs etc are soundly refuted in the Madhab.

They say that Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) is Hadhir Nadhir and the Madhab says that whoever takes a wife and says that he makes Allah (SWT) and Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) a witness is a Kaafir.

They consider it permissable to ask the people in the grave and the Madhab says that whoever believes that the souls of Auliya have Tassaruff is a Kaafir.

etc. etc. etc.

Its sad because they cannot have an intellectual argument based on sound positions of the Madhab although they claim to be Hanafees.
