    he has studied in both - nadwa, as well as ashrafiyah mubarakpur.

    Shaykh Muhammad Mustafa Al-A'zami passed away earlier today.

    إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعون

    Shaykh Qamar is not part of the same family?

    I don’t know whether he also studied in madwatul ulema, but I am certain that he studied in ashrafiyyah (something I have heard him say). The Wikipedia page makes no mention of that.

    having earned a good name, by making graves a [lucrative] business;
    will you hesitate to sell idols made of stone?


    that was iqbal who probably didn't expect muslims to trade in idols.

    And I suppose the ol' saying in chemistry applies in other areas too - like attracts like:

    "Great to join Muslim community members & children to donate food to #foodbank to help everyone celebrate #Christmas" - Waqar Azmi

    ...and Christmas plays with junior:

    Salma apparently has a penchant for caroling:

    "Thursday 18th December
    Not so silent night – out carol singing!

    I went out carol singing to some of our local old people’s homes in the ward on Thursday evening! Some people may think it is odd as I am a Muslim so let me explain…Firstly, Muslims do believe in the Virgin Birth, and indeed view Jesus as a Messiah, so many of the carols are relevant, and I can genuinely share in some of the spiritual significance of Christmas. Theology aside, however, it was just a wonderful experience to see the genuine happiness that such a small act brought to some of our elderly residents.

    There was a group of us – some from Balsall Heath Forum, some from local churches, as well as some other Muslims. I took my eldest son Hamza with me, and really enjoyed seeing how he was touched by the responses of many of the residents who shook his hand and had tears in their eyes (although he did point out that could have been because of my bad singing!)

    I do have to point out though that as Muslims are strictly ‘monotheistic’ – believing in the Unity of God – I had the delicate job of ensuring Hamza and I avoided singing anything which contradicted this, resulting in some uneven singing! Upon such details are interfaith experiences built…
    Overall though it was a lovely, genuinely uplifting evening, and I would highly recommend it!"

    ...and later

    "You can view pictures from the Carol singing and Hamper delivery on the 'Elect Salma...' facebook group. Thank you for your support.

    Warmest wishes for the holidays,

    Salma"

    Waqar Azmi on PREVENT:

    "This conference, and the review of the Prevent strategy is timely, and I am largely supportive of that strategy. I am here representing the British Muslim Forum – the majority of British Muslims are traditional Sunnis. I have been working as chief advisor in the cabinet office on diversity as well as on Prevent projects. The Prevent approach has been a shambles. No other community has been treated in the way the Muslims were by Prevent. The main reason has been the universality of approach and locating the problem within ‘muslimness’. The distortion of Islam to promote radicalisation should never be seen as Islamic. I have never supported the universality of approach. Funding allocation was given to those areas that had a significant proportion of Muslims in their area. Funding based on the proportion of Muslims gives the impression that it is a Muslim problem, which is alienating. The preoccupation with theological issues means that government is interested in a social engineering of its own impression of Islam – the impression is that government wants to create their own version of Islam, and this is corrosive to community confidence.

    Communities do need to develop, so having communities to look at how they themselves operate is no bad thing. Attitudes do need to move on. Our argument is how is this relevant to extremist terrorism and community safety and crime? As an example, though this hasn’t happened in the UK, is the politicisation of wearing a veil. When clothing becomes a political issue then this is presenting Muslims as a problem, and dilutes the real issue, crime terrorism.

    Dealing with organisations and people and shutting down others and people who don’t share your viewpoint is very divisive, and this is something the previous government did quite well.

    Forcing people to marry into your own views can shut down and isolate opposing views, which doesn’t create a healthy community. To ignore those who don’t agree with your own viewpoint is very unhealthy.

    The combative attitude to community work that’s been introduced as a by product of Prevent has been interesting – local authorities who’d been dealing with cohesion for decades had to change their way of operating, and they felt it left them in the uncomfortable situation of having to deal with Muslims in a different sense. This played into the hands of extremists by..." - pg. 19

    Mawlana Shahid Raza also talks about it:

    "We may not agree with the term ‘prevent’, however in my opinion the strategy resulted in enhanced engagement of youths and women in public life and helped an improved level of cohesion within various communities. As a result of this strategy inter-faith relations were also enhanced. However, this strategy also caused disquiet among other ethic or faith communities who believed that the funding could have been distributed more evenly and fairly." - pg. 26

    He has ideas about equality of women in Islam, and seems his son has ideas about equality of Kafirs in Islam and the equality of Kufr with Islam.

    oh please. haven't you heard of the divine right of kings?

    effendi, you appear to come from some quaint turkish village and speak of a very bygone islam, in which people are expected to be good until their last breath and previous laurels do not bestow you with carte blanche in the present - and some very old belief that a man may do the worlds' good, but he will be judged according to what he is doing today.

    will a person's good deeds of the past bestow him with an authority to do what he likes in the present? isn't one bound to be faithful to ahl al sunnah until the last?

    if not, why doesn't NMJM begin teaching and selling asharfayili thanawi's books? was he not a prolific author?

    I have been told that at yesterday's Mevlid-î Şerif at NMJM the resident Imam spoke against Mevlana Ilyas Qadri and the Dawat -î Islami organisation for not taking an active part in the recent struggle of Ulama Ehl-i Sünnet against the qadianis.

    Should the Imam not speak against his son for hosting a missionary of the dajallic qadiani movement?

    I remember qamaruzzama sahab himslef quoting what mufti e aazam said to him when they met after a long interval.

    If I remember well this was when hazrat was unwell and was preparing for his journey into the great beyond.

    Hazrat said:

    qamaruzzman bohot door chale gae ho

    qamaruzzman you have drifted very far


    -----

    what a chilling statement - it sounds almost like a prophecy. When I heard it I was struck by the heaviness in those words.

    Of-course, the person to whom it was addressed interpreted them to mean that he had gone away to the UK which is very far from India.

    After all these events it seems that the words really meant something much more significant.

    Allah ta'ala knows best.

    the ghazi of guftaar, sir muhammad iqbal, despite flaws in other departments, was a poet par excellence, who touched our hearts, and wove the sorrow in our heart and our pent-up feelings, in magical words:

    ----
    nigāh e faqr meiñ shān e sikandarī kyā hai
    kharāj ki jo gada ho woh qaysarī kya hai

    butoñ se tujh ko umīdeñ khudā se naumīdī
    mujhe batā to sahī aur kāfiri kyā hai?

    falak ne un ko áţā kī hai khwajgī ke jinheñ
    khabar nahīñ rawish e bandah parwarī kyā hai

    isi khaţā se ítāb e mulūk hai mujh par
    ke jāntā huñ ma'āal e sikandarī kyā hai

    kisey nahiñ hai tamannah e sarwarī leykin
    khudi ki mawt ho jis meiñ woh sarwarī kyā hai


    of what value is the glory of alexander, in the eyes of a faqir*
    of what worth is the dominion of caesar that is sustained by tributes

    you hope fervently from idols, and despair of the Almighty;
    tell me: what else would you term disbelief?

    the heavens have been kind and granted leadership to those
    who are unaware of what it means to be a patron to one’s followers

    i have drawn ire of the kings for the very mistake
    that i know the eventual destination of kings

    who doesn’t wish for lordship, but –
    where is the greatness in such lordship that kills one’s self respect,


    * in sufi parlance: a person devoted to Allah and his messenger sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam such that he is in need of no one; and only the faqir of Allah - he hopes only from Allah, and fears only Him. the rest he is ghaniy, independent from; he does not care about anyone else or worry about what they might think. this faqir would be such that gold and dust would be the same to him.

    bootnote:iqbal still received knighthood and many of his friends criticised him. the rationale was that the knighthood was for literary services and not politics.
