    Mujaddid Pak قدس الله سره follows the Sunni aqida on afdhaliyya mutlaqa as does all Naqshbandi shuyukh قدس الله سرهم:

    اور افضلیت کے ترتیب خلفا ےراشدین کے درمیان خلافت کے ترتیب کے موافق ہے لیکن شاخیں کی افضلیت صحابہ اور . تابعین کے اجماع سے ثابت ہوئی ہے

    چناچے بارے ائمہ کی ایک جماعت نے جن مے ایک امام شافع رحمت الله علیہ ہے اس بات کو نقل کیا ہے

    قال الإمام أبو الحسن العشري انالتفضيل أبي بكر ثم عمر على بقية الأمة قطع

    The order of afdhaliyyah is in the order of khilafat. However, the tafdhil of Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq radhiallahu `anhu and Sayyidina Umar radhiallahu anhu is proven from the ijma` of the Sahaba and the Tabi`in (radhiyallahu anhum ajmain). Thus, large Ai`mmah such as Imam al-Shafi`i rahimahullah mention that Imam Abu al-Hasan al-Ash`ari said that the tafdhil of Sayyidina Abu Bakr radhiallahu anhu and Sayyidina Umar radhiallahu anhu over the rest of the ummah is decisive

    Note when it says “qati hone ke qeel o qaal hai”, it is referring to a semantic difference and on the very next page, Hadrat Mujaddid Sahib quotes Imam Nasafi stating afdhaliyya is kathrat al sawab which is the same exact statement of A`lahazrat

    Also Hazrat Mujaddid Sahib here states the one who doubts this ijma`a is out of Ahlus Sunna:

    [​IMG]
    As for this statement – it is referring to nahj al nabuwwat and nahj al wilayat. Note that there is one point that states Sayyidina Siddiq al Akbar radhiallahu anhu is musharraf bil wilayat. The if–then statement then proves as well as the other points that there is ijma’ on afdhaliyyya[​IMG]

    On nahj al Nabuwwat and nahj al wilayat

    It is to be noted Hazrat Mujaddid Pak alayhirrahma considers the person who denies the afdhaliyya of Sayyidina Siddiq al Akbar رضى الله عنه as ignorant

    AlaHazrat رضى الله عنه writes sayyidina Siddiq al Akbar رضى الله عنه is afdhal al awliya.


    AlaHazrat in his Fatawa Ridawiyya Sharif Qadim writes

    مسلہ : مرسلہ مولوی احمد شاہ سکیں موضع سادات
    اولیا مے سب سے زیادہ کس کا رتبہ ہے

    الجواب : صدیق اکبر راضي الله تعالى أنه کا والله علم

    Question: Who has the highest stature amongst the Awliya?
    Answer: Sayyidina Siddiq e Akbar radhiallahu `anhu. And Allah knows best

    (Source: Fatawa Ridawiyya, vol 11, pg. 31- Raza Academy, Mumbai)

    Sayyidi A`lahazrat also writes:

    فتح القدیر شرح ہدایہ مطبع مصر جلد اول ص ۲۴۸ اور حاشیہ تبیین العلامہ احمد شلبی مطبوعہ مصر جلد اول ص۱۳۵میں ہے:فی الرافض من فضل علیاعلی الثلا ثۃ فمبتدع وان انکرخلافۃ الصدیق اوعمررضی اﷲعنھما فھوکافر۔۱؎رافضیوں میں جو شخص مولٰی علی کو خلفاء ثلاثہ رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہم سے افضل کہے گمراہ ہے اور اگر صدیق یافاروق رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما کی خلافت کا انکار کرے تو کافرہے۔

    (۱؎ حاشیۃ الشلبی علی تبیین الحقائق کتاب الصلوۃ باب الامامۃ والحدث فی الصلوۃ المطبعۃ الکبری الا میر یہ مصر ۱/ ۱۳۵)

    (Fatawa Ridawiyya Sharif vol 14, p. 249-253)


    Furthermore if you read Maktubat Imam Rabbani these aqwal you gave are about faizan e wilayat whereas Sayyidina Siddiq al Akbar رضى الله عنه and Sayyidina Faruq al Azam رضى الله عنه 's muwafaqat is from Faizan e Nabuwwat

    Pir sahib, Hafiz Ghulam Muhammad Soho, considers Sayyiduna Siddiq e Akbar raDiyaAllahu a'nh to be the first in rank after prophets alaihim afDalus salaat wat tasleem. No sunni disagrees with what he says in the clip, but it does not mean that pir sahab considers Sayyiduna Mawla Ali raDiyAllahu anh to be superior to Sayyiduna Siddiq e Akabar raDiyAllah anh.

    The slogan 'Ali ka pahla number' was engineered by rafidis to deny the caliphate of the first three rightful caliphs.

    So even if Mawla Ali رضي الله عنه possesses qualities unique to him - and he certainly does and only his enemy can deny that - Ahl al-Sunnah don't raise slogans of Ali ka pahla number.

    If we do, then we're only serving the rafidi cause because the slogan was devised to indicate him being superior and the first caliph, the latter issue being kufr according to jurists.

    There are many sahabah who have firsts and unique merits attached to them but based on those, we don't raise slogans of 'X sahabi ka pahla number.'

    Mawla Umar رضي الله عنه was the first to publicly go to the Ka'abah and announce his Islam. Sayyidah Khadijah رضي الله عنها was first to accept Islam. Abu Salama رضي الله عنه was the first to migrate to Madinah. Sumayyah رضي الله عنها was the first to be martyred for Islam.

    There are numerous other firsts.

    If being first in something is enough to raise the slogan, why is it only done for Mawla Ali, who incidentally is the only one for whom the rafidis raise the same slogan?

    That shows the ill intent here. Why is it reserved only for Mawla Ali?

    And let us not forget, the people who raise this slogan have close ties with those who accept tafdilis as Sunni and revile Amīr Mu'āwiyah رضي الله عنه. Another coincidence? No.

    These aren't coincidences.

    Let those people who claim to be Sunni put their money where their mouth is and raise slogan of Siddiq ka pahla number and clearly say,

    'In superiority, Siddiq ka pahla number' and also announce,

    'Anyone who considers Mawla Ali superior to Hadrat Abu Bakr is not a Sunni.'

    Slogans of pahla number are only for absolute superiority (afdaliyyah mutlaqah) and that is reserved, by Allah ta'ala Himself, for only and only Abu Bakr Siddiq رضي الله عنه.

    If you raise it for every first, you'll have to do it for scores of sahabah and then you have to explain and clarify and so on.

    Avoid confusion.

    Siddiq ka pahla number. End of.

    *** Tafzili Alert Beware ***

    There we go, another new user joining the forum just to trigger a debate around his twisted ideologies, which are "Yes I agree maqaam of Shaykhayn to be greater but in spirituality Ali is greater"! Isn't this the same thing the rafizi tola of whom Iran Shah is a prime member is going on about?

    To answer your silly question, yes Shaykhayn are spiritually afzal to Mawla Ali (ra). And Imam Hasan and Imam Hussain (ra) are spiritually afzal to Hazrat Ameer Muawiyah (ra). This is the belief of the Ahle Sunnat.

    Brother Shahnawazgm,
    When Hazrat Syedina Amir Muawiyah (RA) became the Khalifa was he the highest in spirituality? Is it possible that he ruled over others who had greater spirituality than him? If there were others in his rule that were spiritually higher than him, he was still their Khalifa and had authority over all of them. Including Hazrat Imam Hassan (RA), Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) and all the Ahl-e-Bait. Similarly, my understanding is that the "head of Aulia Allah" is a position or a duty that Hazrat Ali (RA) was given.

    Brother abu Hasan.

    You mentioned, 'for their shiyi influence beliefs…' and ‘learn to read books properly and to gain knowledge; not just for hunting quotes that may suit your whims.’

    Did you use miraculous powers of kashf to determine whether I read the book properly or not or if i was just hunting for quotes?

    I'm not saying Hazrat Ali (RA) is greater than Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA). As I mentioned in post #9 that "Definitely in maqaam Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) is 1st, Hazrat Omar (RA) is 2nd, Hazrat Uthman (RA) is 3rd and Hazrat Ali (RA) is 4th." I'll also point out that I don't believe as the rafidhis do that Hazrat Ali (RA) should have been the first Khalifa.

    Of course Daata Ali Hujwiri (RA), mentioned the maqaam of Syedina Abu Bakr (RA) to be the greatest of all after the Prophets (AS), and he mentions his other great and wonderful merits too. All I was pointing out is that Daata Sahib wrote that Hazrat Ali (RA) is the “head of all the Friends of God (Auliya-Allah)"

    I’ll ask you, does his mentioning this exclude the first three Khalifas(RA) or any other Auliya-Allah? If so please explain.

    The way I’m understanding it is that Hazrat Ali (RA) has been given a position or duty as the head of all the friends of Allah (SWT). Ala Hazrat’s (RA) fatwa seems to support this as he mentions that Hazrat Ali (RA) is the one who gives permission to others to become Wali Allah, whether they are from this Ummah or were from any of the previous ones. Does this exclude the first three Khalifas (RA) or any other walis? If so please explain.


    Brother, do you agree with Ala Hazrat’s (RA) fatwa mentioned by Hafiz Ghulam Muhammad in the video in post #12, that Hazrat Ali (RA) is the one who authorizes/grants wilayat to every Wali Allah?

    If Hazrat Ali (RA) is the one that authorizes Wilayat to every Wali, does that not mean he must have been a Wali before he approved anyone else’s wilayat (excluding the Prophets (AS))? Wouldn’t that make him the first Wali Allah? Would this make him head of all the friends of Allah?

    What is your agenda behind your insistence of "Ali da pehla number"? Are you trying to claim that in spirituality Hazrat Ali (ra) is more afzal to the Shaykhayn (ra)? I say its in fact the opposite. And this is the belief of Ala Hazrat (ra) as well.

    So please don't try and deceive ppl by giving yourself a name of "Raza Khan" on this forum!

    Brother Shahnawazgm,

    Daata Sahib (RA) is talking only of Awliya Allah that aren’t Prophets. All Prophets (AS) are Friends of Allah not just Syedina Ibrahim (AS).

    wahabis and rafidis (and neem-rawafid) try to bring proofs from those very books in which they are soundly refuted.

    ----
    in kashf al-mahjub is the statement about mawla ali raDiyAllahu anhu:

    kashfmahjub, p120.png


    but only a few pages earlier, the first entry is about sayyiduna abu bakr al-siddiq raDiyAllahu anhu by the SAME daata sahib raHimahullah. anyone with some shame and if they had basic knowledge would never dare to quote sayyiduna data ali hujweri raHimahullah for their shiyi influenced beliefs because kashfu'l maHjub contains refutation of their false aqidah.

    those modern day sayyids who boast: "main ali ka beta hun" should ponder if they are the only ones? and do they really matter in front of "ali ka beta" such as data ganj bakhsh sayyidi ali hujweri?

    So does that also make him the head of Khaleelullah Hazrat Ibrahim Alayhis Salaam? After all according to what you have quoted he is head of all friends of Allah!

    In Kashful Mahjub, Syed Ali bin Uthman Al Hujwiri (Daata Ganj Baskh), writes

    "Hadhrat Ali bin Abi Talib, may Allah be well pleased with him, the cousin of the Holy Prophet, (SAW), is the head of all the Friends of God (Auliya-Allah). He enjoys one of the highest and most exalted positions in the domain of spirituality."

    Also please see the following video in which a fatwa Imam Ahmad Raza Khan (RA) is mentioned on this matter. Wilayat is granted to every wali only through the permission of Hazrat Ali (RA).



    The position that Hazrat Ali (RA) is granted as mentioned in the fatwa of Imam Ahmad Raza Khan (RA), does this not make him the first Wali? Ali ka pahla number?

    this is not mutlaq, nor is it mentioned as istighraq.

    because "mawla" does not always mean master. "mawla" is also used as 'helper', 'aide'.
    s66v4.png


    besides RasulAllah sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam is "mawla" as in "master" of anbiya and mala'ikah as well.
    this cannot apply to our mawla ali karramAllahu wajhah.

    Umar ka pahla number (adl)
    Uthman ka pahla number (haya)
    Fatimah ka pahla number (nasab)
    Khalid ka pahla number (military)
    Muawiyah ka pahla number (naval)
    Sumayyah ka pahla number (martyrdom)

    Where will we stop? When we say pahla number, it is absolute. So it should not be said anyone other than Abu Bakr Siddiq has pahla number.

    If it's for partial excellence, why don't they say it for anyone else...? Also, it is best avoided because there are too many tafdilis amongst us now.

    Let's stop the ambiguity and slogans that create more problems.

    'Abu Bakr ka pahla' number and 'Ali ka pahla number' are both correct
    We know the hadith: "The sun has not risen or set upon anyone better than Abu Bakr except the Prophets and the Messengers." In other words, 'Abu Bakr ka pahla' number.

    We also know the hadith that our Nabi (SAW) said, "Man kunto Mawla Fa Ali-yun Mawla", "One who has me as his master has Ali as his master." This declaration makes Hazrat Ali (RA) the Mawla of Syedina Abu Bakr As-Siddique (RA) and of every Muslim. This was a position assigned to Syedina Ali (RA) although he is fourth in status. So from the point of view of him being Mawla, we get 'Ali ka pahla number'.

    Definitely in maqaam Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) is 1st, Hazrat Omar (RA) is 2nd, Hazrat Uthman (RA) is 3rd and Hazrat Ali (RA) is 4th.

    Please correct me if I'm wrong.
