Maybe that’s why he is an ex-DI. I think it’s not simply about “poetry” and it’s not like this is the first time the mufti sahb has made such blunders. These types of clips only plants seeds of doubt in the awaam. This is just a prime example of what Mawlana Abu Hasan alluded to when Huzur Taj al Shariah Alaihir Rahmah passed away, “as elders pass away, i fear (many of my friends share this feeling) sunnis have become more vulnerable; many people calling themselves sunnis and were afraid to come out with their own agendas will become bolder.” So mufti saheb doesn’t think the awaam will understand the line of poetry but they won’t have an issue understanding why taking selfies in Haram Sharif is perfectly fine? The point many of the scholars who have spoken out are highlighting is the principle behind his comments which the awaam won’t understand and his hidden agenda given his past blunders.
on the khata issue of Ashraf Jalali, Muzaffar Shah sahab scoffed at Muhaddithe Kabir saying "hum pakistan mein chane nahin bech rahe hain"... just sayin!
i'm no fan of Akmal Qadri, and he may well have a superiority complex that he's the Abu Mansoor Maturidi of this time, but with the greatest respect to Sayyed sahab, i think he jumped the gun a bit (on this specific talk) - in the video linked in OP, i just understood (please correct me if i'm wrong) that he said don't say complicated poems in front of common people even though there is no problem per se ("koi aisa masala nahin hai"), and mentioned the aqidah that Allah is free of needs. at least in the linked video he didn't say "lazim aata hai", and even gave examples of other poems of sajdah, "jaise mazarat pe sajdah karne ke sheyr hotey hain". i think his point was 'please consider the state of the awam when reciting this kind of poetry' as for Muzaffar Shah sahab, partial justice is no justice - his scathing rebuke of Akmal Qadri will make sense only when he also tackles iran shah in the same way - ironically, in the linked video (post #3) he says he's fighting tafzilis and Akmal Qadri said the wrong masala mentioning "jumhoor". so what about all the damage iran shah has done? i think his grouse with Akmal is only for not subscribing to the "trendy" version of "Sunniyat" and "Fikre Raza" prevalent in the subcontinent, which understandably can ruffle many feathers for many reasons again, please correct me if i misunderstood the videos on the topic of this couplet.
Brother, can you link the video where Akmal says don't say A3lam... I can't locate easily on YouTube... Preferably make a new thread on that one
Sayyed Muzaffar shah sahab send a stern warning to Mufti Akmal to control himself on his recent blunders.
Mufti Akmal Madani was asked about the appropriateness of this sher Aapki khair banaye do jahaan Apni khatir jo banaya aap hain.
