www.zakir.me.uk/Lie_Against_The_Ulama_Of_Deoband.pdf (Better to go to Central-Mosque instead of Downloading PDF)

This pdf contains many of the accusations made by the Barelwi on the Ulama of Deoband.

It has been taken from here: www.central-mosque.com/fiqh/accus1.htm Very good Authentic site.

False Allegation

The Prophet (Sallallaahu �layhi Wasallam) is not the only Rahmatullil Aalameen. (Fataawa
Rashidiyya part 2 pg. 19)

The Truth

The view of Hadhrat Moulana Rashid Ahmad Gangohi is that: ''One should know that the
attribute of being Omnipresent is the quality of Allah Ta�la alone, like All-Knowing, Creator of
the Skies and Earths and so forth. Therefore to attribute this quality of being Omnipresent to
someone else, though it be a 'Nabi', 'Wali', or Saint, is to ascribe Partners to Allah in His
Qualities, which is termed as 'Shirk-fis-Sifaat."

Clarification

The word 'Rahmatullil Aalameen' is not a characteristic only of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu �layhi
Wasallam). In fact other Awliyaa, Ambiyaa and Ulamaa-e-Rabbaniyyeena are also a means
of mercy unto the world, although Rasululla (Sallallaahu �layhi Wasallam) is the highest of
them all. Therefore, if it is used for others with 'Taaweel' (by elucidation) it is permissible.'

False Allegation

In the month of Muharram, providing free water and feeding people with milk or Sharbat is
Haraam. (Fataawa Rashidiyya part 3 pg. 113)

Clarification

To feed the poor and needy and to distribute water free to quench their thirst as 'Isaale Sawaab' is no sin. Neither did Moulana Rashid Ahmad Gangohi nor anyone else say it is Haraam.

The Barelvis belief is this, that on the plains of Karbala the martyrs sacrificed their life in thirst. Therefore, the water that is given here as a drink, reaches them.

It is common sense, that this water does not reach them, nor are they in need of it. They are in Jannat. If the whole idea is to convey the reward (Isaale Sawaab), the whole year is available for that. No question arises then whether to make 'Isaale Sawaab' or not. The practice mentioned above similitudes the practices of the Rawaafidh; therefore it is Haraam.'
(Fataawa Rashidiyya pg. 147/148)

False Allegation

Ashraf Ali Thanvi, a founder member of Deoband says: 'The Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu �layhi
Wasallam) has an education like that of children, lunatics and animals of every category.'
(Hifzul Imaan pg. 7)

The Truth

The view of Hadhrat Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi is that: Hadhrat Moulana was asked, 'Did you
in Hifzul Imaan or any other book write anything directly or indirectly comparing the education
of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu �layhi Wasallam) to that of children, lunatics and animals? If not
then what is your ruling regarding a person who holds such a belief?' In reply to that Moulana
states, 'Let alone writing such falsehood and filth, my heart had never even perceived such
falsehood and verily if anyone holds such a belief he is out of the fold of Islam.' (Faisal-e-
Khusoomat pg. 21)

Clarification

Hadhrat Hakimul Ummah, Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (author of the famous 'Bahishti Zewar')
did not write the abovementioned statement in Hifzul Imaan. Nor is it his belief. It is a slander
on the said Moulana. In fact Hadhrat Moulana has stated clearly in 'Hifzul Imaan' that,
'Knowledge with regard to the Excellence of Prophethood has been bestowed totally upon
Rasul (Sallallaahu �layhi Wasallam) (Hifzul Imaan pg. 12)

False Allegation

To read Alhamdu Fateha before eating food is Bidat (Fataawa Rashidiyya part 2 pg. 150)

Clarification

In order to establish anything in Islam, it is necessary that it be verified in the light of the
Shari�h. Unless it is not proven by the Shari�h, it cannot be regarded as Deen. Yes, one may
call it a matter of convenience. For example, the use of an electric fan, motor vehicle, etc. The
moment a person wants to make it part and parcel of Deen, immediately it will need
verification from the Shari�h, whether it be Meelaad, Fateha, Giyaarwi, Urs, Dua-e-Thani,
Dua immediately after Janaaza prayer or any other ritual for that matter. And on failing to be
verified, it will be regarded as Bidat - innovation. The wickedness of being involved in Bidat is
that the Sunnats are automatically left out. As darkness spreads, light vanishes.

To read Al-Hamd, Fateha before eating food is not verified and proven in the Shari�h, therefore, it is a Bidat.

Regarding Bidat, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu �layhi Wasallam) has decreed:
1. "He who innovates something in this matter of ours that is not of it will have it rejected."
(Bukhari)
2. "Beware of newly-invented matters! For every invented matter is an innovation and every innovation is leading astray and every leading astray is in Hell-Fire." (Abu Dawud; Tirmidhi)

The 'Masnoon' Duas read by Rasulullah (Sallallaahu �layhi Wasallam) before meals and after meals, should surely be read. Hadhrat Moulana Rashid Ahmed Gangohi (RA) did not stop anyone from this.

False Allegation

Giyaarwi Shareef is Haraam and Kufr, even if Qur'an is read. (Fataawa Rashidiyya part 1 pg.
95)

Clarification

Anything in the name of 'Ghayrullah' (someone other than Allah), whether it be Giyarwi
Shareef' or 'Baarwi', is Haraam. This Masalah is found in Shaami, Tahtaawi, Bahrur Raaiq
and in many other Kitaabs.

On the other hand, Esaale Sawaab is permissible. No one prohibited Esaale Sawaab
provided it is done without specifications of time, place and invitation. But look at the beliefs of
these people. They have this belief that the distribution of sustenance is entrusted to Peerane
Peer (RA). If the Giyaarwi is held back, he will stop the food.

False Allegation

Almighty Allah Ta�la is not always 'all knowing'. He finds out whenever necessary.
(Taqwiyatul Eemaan pg. 26).

Clarification

This is an open Calumny and a False Accusation. This sentence is not written at all in
'Tawiyatul Eemaan' that 'Allah Ta�la is not always "all knowing". He finds out when
necessary.

False Allegation

The Prophet (Sallallaahu �layhi Wasallam) will die and become sand one day. (Taqwiyatul
Imaan pg. 69)

The Truth

The view of Hadhrat Moulana Rashid Ahmed Saheb is that: The meaning of the (phrase) 'to
lie on sand' has two meanings. The one is to become soil, the other is the body touches the
sand. The latter meaning is meant, and the Moulana (author of Taqwiyatul Imaan) also believes that the bodies of the Anbiyaa (�layhimus salaam) do not turn to dust. Because a deceased is buried in a grave and he is surrounded with soil all over, his body together with the 'Kafn' touches the sand beneath him
is called 'Mitti me milnaa' - to lie on sand. Hence, there is no point of objection. (Fataawa
Rashidiyya pg.s 83/84)

Clarification

In Taqwiyatul Imaan, a Hadith is mentioned in which a Sahaabi (Radhiallaahu �nhu) told Rasulullah (Sallallaahu �layhi Wasallam) that the people of other places bow out of respect to their Rulers; whereas Rasulullah (Sallallaahu �layhi Wasallam) is more worthy of being bowed to. At this, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu �layhi Wasallam) said, 'Look if you happen to pass by my grave, will you bow to it?' The Sahaabi (Radhiallaahu �nhu) said 'No, I will not do so.' On this, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu �layhi Wasallam) said, 'So do not bow to me ...' (A Sajdah Taazimi is also forbidden).

Commentary:

'I will also die one day and lie on sand (buried); therefore am I worthy to be prostated to?' This phrase 'Mitti me milne waalaa hoo - I will lie on sand' (meaning to be buried one day), became the bone of contention for the Barelvis.

False Allegation

To think of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu �layhi Wasallam) in Salaat is worse than thinking of cows and donkeys. (Siraate Mustaqeem pg. 150)

Clarification

The abovementioned statement is not found anywhere in 'Siraate Mustaqeem' that, 'To think of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu �layhi Wasallam) in Salaat is worse than thinking of cows and donkeys.'

That which was written in 'Sarfe Himmat'. This is terminology used by the Sufis in Tasawwuf (the spiritual field). 'Sarfe Himmat' in 'Tasawwuf' means that a person's meditation over a thing becomes so overpowering and predominant that no other thoughts penetrate into the mind and soul. Like a mirror, if a person does not want any person's reflection to come into it, he covers it with a black cloth and thus no reflection will appear. To contemplate over a figure so that no other thing is contemplated is called 'Sarfe Himmat'.

This has been forbidden in Salaat, that besides Allah, 'Sarfe Himmat' should not be done towards anyone. Salaat should purely and solely be for Allah alone. If 'Sarfe Himmat' is done towards Rasulullah (Sallallaahu �layhi Wasallam), then the entire Salaat and Ibaadat will be for him. On the other hand, if any thoughts of cows, donkeys, business, etc. come to mind, or a person gets drowned in these thoughts whilst in Salaat, it is regrettable. There is no fear of it being worshipped. In fact the person regrets that in the course of an esteem Ibaadat like Salaat, he should have such thoughts, Astaghfirullah.

The Kitaab, 'Siraate Mustaqeem' is based on 'Tasawwuf'. The objector is not versed in Tasawwuf'. Therefore, he has translated 'Sarfe Himmat' to mean a mere thought. What comes to mind is this; that the Objector presents a picture of a Grade One child, learning to read and write ABC and wishing to interpret the writings of Shakespeare.

Moreover, it is stated in the Hadith that Salaat should be performed with full attention.
Therefore, when the name of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu �layhi Wasallam) is recited in 'Tashahhud' the thought of the Rasul (Sallallaahu �layhi Wasallam) will come and should come. The Salaat will not be rendered incorrect and this is not unlawful at all. The respected Moulana did not stop anyone from this.
