    maulana Mufti Haneef Khan Razavi has compiled an encyclopedia of the aHadeeth that were found in various books of Ala Hazrat. The 7,000 pages book - 10 volumes - is called "Jamey al-aHadeeth".

    It is in Urdu; someone kindly send the link to Dr Asim:-

    What he has said about 'barelvis' is largely true, most regrettably.

    hmm. i didn't know this when i met him back in 2006.



    in the above clip, around 11.17, the 'friend' he mentions is yours truly. we indeed met shaykh muTiy al-Hafiz and the shaykh gave us ijazah (oh, yes. the shaykh gave us not only verbal, but a printed and signed ijazah) of not only this chain and all his other isnads. sitting there with the shaykh, i flitted through the pages and saw that the shaykh also had an isnad that ran through devbandis.

    i told the shaykh that these devbandis have problematic aqayid. if the shaykh seemed displeased, he did not show it. i said to the shaykh that devbandis believe that it is possible for Allah ta'ala to lie. the shaykh said instantly and without even thinking somewhat like: 'no. only mumkinat are included in Divine Power, not muHaalat'.

    i also spoke to him about his tahqeeq of sharH aqidah al-TaHawiyyah, and the shaykh told us the background of this edition (which is also mentioned in the preface).

    this was in november 2006.

    ======

    around 13.30 in the above clip, this asim - after 20 years of rigorous training, does not even know the difference between ibn Hajar and ibn Hajjaar; this pipsqueak will decide whether alahazrat was proficient in hadith or not!

    i will write again on this blind imitator of devbandi lies.

    nas'alu Allah al-aafiyah.

    Dr Asim states at footnote 329 – ‘To a certain extent, this is as it should be: it behoves one to follow expert opinion. A surgeon in Ghana might similarly find herself referring to American journal articles and corresponding with British experts about a particular procedure. When one is discussing issues unique to one’s situation and environment, however, uncritical adherence to answers from afar can prove problematic’


    Uncritical adherence to purported sightings in Nigeria and Ghana caused to be problematic. Please see Effendi Raja Zahid Nawaz’s critical analysis of these sightings which was posted on Sunniport earlier this month.


    ‘Hopefully it will help bring about a reassuring geographic unity for the Muslim communities. The wider public and government seek plain clear clarification on our legal guidance as a minority people under the ever increasing spotlight living in non-Muslim lands with leadership expectations upon the scholars to direct at both local and national levels’

    Not sure what Ghulam Rasul is gibbering on about – which government is he referring to?

    Mevlana Aqdas it can also be said that Dr Asim should have consulted the like of Effendi Mufti Shems ul Huda before making the following inference about Imam Ahmad Rida Khan – ‘Nonetheless, he would by no stretch of the imagination have been considered one of the major astronomers of the time’


    The attached screenshot is attributed to be a comment of Dr Asim on whats app - Allah Knows Best.

    Dr Asim has said 'possible exception' so hasn't made any certain claim. Yes, he should've consulted those who study Alahazrat before writing that footnote.

    Even hadith memorisers like Sayyid Wasiy Ahmad Surati would seek Alahazrat's help in hadith.

    If people are measuring hadith knowledge by the number of volumes of commentaries authored - this would be unfair.

    Alahazrat did those tasks which were beyond others. He would at times have 500 questions sent in a day. Where would he get time for extensive shuruh?

    He even left writing a full tafsir because it would take too long.

    That's all.

    Even then, there are dozens of works of his in hadith that show his mastery. No wonder scholars of Haramayn said: huwa Imam ul muhaddithin.

    Yes, his tafaqquh outshone any of his other disciplines but that doesn't mean he wasn't expert in them too.

    We hope Dr Asim will revise the footnote.

    In regards to the Imam, Sayyidi Imam Ahmad Rida radhiyAllahu anhu wa arDah, he was a master scholar and muhaddith as testified to by the Ulama of the Haramayn and al-Azhar - giants such as Imam Habibullah al-Shinqiti, Imam Yusuf al Nabahani, and Imam Isma`il ibn Khalil al-Makki.

    When the students of the grand Muhaddith, Shaykh Badr al-Din al Hasani endorse the books of Imam Ahmad Rida raDiyallahu `anhu, you know he raDiyallahu ` anhu must be a scholar of the highest caliber.

    'He has received twenty years of rigorous theological training at the hands of leading scholars of Islamic law and spirituality. He has been granted ijazaat (formal authorizations) to instruct students in the art and science of Islamic thought by over thirty scholars from four continents, and has taught thousands of students across the country and overseas'
