Pakistan a consumer & not a producer of Islam - Abdal Hakim Murad

There is a long list of books by subcon ulama that are taught in subcon madaris, or used as main references and are well know and widely used in the islamic world too.

the following are only the old and classic works taught as an academic syllabus. i did not list any of the works from the previous or this century otherwise ashiyat al lam'aat of shaykh abdul haq alaihi rahmah, and fatawa razawiyyah and bahaar e shariat should be at the top of the list, and there are so many fatawa, hadith, tafsir, usul, and shuruhat works which are enough to fill many shelves of libraries.

i do not think that abdul hakim and his likes would be able to fill even a single section of a shelf.

a few examples of classical works are;

A relevant post i came across on facebook:

 

pretty rich coming from a white englishman, a convert who has turned all his pre-Islamic jahiliyya ethos and paradigms on their head in order to align with Islam post conversion, emulating the sahaba.

wait, what? he didn't, rather he's trying to squeeze Islam to fit into his western value system?!

then he's neither an original Hanafi, nor a consumer, but a cunning usurper of subcontinental Hanafiyat, just like his english forefathers were with material wealth of the subcontinent!

not arguing or contesting, but i've often thought if Osmanli Turkish survived, we probably would be having access to an extensive treasure of religious literature. the shaytan ataturk changed the script for this very reason, he wanted the people to be instantly divorced from their Islamic heritage!

 

Tim is also a consumer even though he goes on about British produce

when everything is seen in commercial terms. winters will probably seek royalty for fatawa from ulama in central asia. all hanafis should pay a yearly tribute of x amount to the coffers of central asian republics - turkmenistan perhaps? - if they use any fatwa of imam qadi khan.

this is a stupid comment - only to belittle pakistan. has no substance and only the cambridge trinitarian knows the secrets of this nugget of wisdom.

---
after arabic, there is no other language in the world which has as much islamic literature as urdu. i don't think even turkish has.

---
poor parochial tim. as the great pakistani poet dr. iqbal would have said:

chin o arab hamara, wast-asia hamara
south-asia mein lekin, hai aashiyan hamara

 

Twitter [X] thread on Pakistan as a consumer rather than producer of Islam

Professor Abdal Hakim Murad notes “The spiritual heart and scholarly origin of (elite Hanafi) Indian Islam is not in the Subcontinent, but in Central Asia… it was not endogenously evolved, but brought in from Central Asia”
