BRITISH AGENT Another charge against the great Mujaddid of Islam is that he was an agent of the British. Such a charge is framed by only those who charge for framing charges against Imam Ahmed Raza (alaihir rahmah). They discharge their duty. They have nothing to do with the background or base. Nobody can say that A’la Hadrat Imam Ahmed Raza (alaihir rahmah) has ever written a single word in support of the Britishers. Nobody can say that he has ever spoken even a single word in favour of the British. Nobody can say that he has ever attended any meeting of the Britishers. Nobody can say that he ever invited any Britisher in any of his functions or ever otherwise. It was Imam Ahmed Raza who never allowed any interview to the British. He hated the British so much that he used to affix postage stamps on the envelope in such a way that the head of Queen Victoria, Edward VIII and George V were downwards. He carried out this practice not only in case of envelopes but he also wrote address on that postcard by keeping the picture-head of the Queen and King downwards. Such envelopes and postcards of A’la Hadrat Imam Ahmed Raza (alaihir rahmah) can be seen in the libraries of Prof. Dr. Mukhtar al-din Arzu at Aligarh. Some photocopies from the collection of Dr. Mukhtar al-din Arzu being presented here for the readers. A’la Hadrat (alaihir rahmah) usually spoke and wrote against the British. His four point economic programme released in 1912 was a big challenge to the British Govt. and their interest in India. Prof. Mas‘ud Dehlawi has written a separate book “Gunahe be Gunahi” in this respect. Through his book “Ulèma-i-Deoband Ki Angrez Dosti” published from Allahabad (UP). Allama Mushtaq Ahmad Nizami has proved that, in fact, bonds of friendship existed amid Ulèma of Deoband and the British Government. Both were hand and glove with each other. Of late, Hadrat Abd al-Naim Azizi, Ex-editor of Sunni Dunya, Bareilly has compiled and published a thrilling book, “Humphery Kay e‘trafat”. (Memoirs of Mr. Humphery, the English spy in Islamic countries) which unmasks that the real British agent was Mr. Muhammad bin Abd al-Wahab. The book is a severe blow to the Wahabi world. Allama Arshadul Qàdri has given a unique challenge to the opponents of the great Imam in this regard. He said to the opponents, “What to say of proving this charge from the books of A’la Hadrat Imam Ahmed Raza or his followers, you cannot prove this even from your own authentic books.” It is a challenge as well as an advice. Let such people find out such a charge in the books of Maulvi Ashraf Ali Thanvi, Maulvi Khalil Ahmad Ambethvi etc. who were contemporaries of the great Imam. If they fail to prove from their own books, then they should at least be kind enough to feel sorry and withdraw this charge. http://www.raza.co.za/the_mujaddid_imam_ahmed_raza_charges_leveled.html
Some Shayatin (mainly Deobandis) try saying Imam Ahmad Rida Khan rahimahuAllah was a British stooge in colonial India!! I want to start this thread to analyse the works of Imam Ahmad Rida rahimahuAllah and refute this point amply. I want to also highlight the claims of these Shayatin and refute them, so anyone wanting to read on this subject can refer back to this thread as reference point. I think the aspect of takfir has been thoroughly discussed in this lecture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDqfTQxybJQ But now the Najdiya are mentioning this point on many forums. I want this thread to silence them inshaAllah. I would appreciate it if our learned brothers can add their knowledge regarding this important topic, especially Shaykh Abu Hasan hafidhahu mawlahu!! Also if the mods can keep the posts of troublemakers under check, jazakumAllah.
