It's important to note that the woman in question wasn't wearing a dress with Qur'anic verses. It was just the word "Halwa" written in Arabic calligraphy. As per these TLP maulwis, this has "wounded the sentiments of the entire Muslim Ummah.. crores of Muslims" because anything written in Arabic calligraphy has resemblance with Qur'anic ayaat. He isn't alone. There are more such Allama.
It's a witch hunt by Hassan Raza Naqshbandi and to be frank makes Barelvis look bad. I don't think the word 'Allama' even suits him.
Is printing verses on a shirt gustakhi? You sometimes see those charity collectors in town centres wearing shirts that may have an ayah or a hadith on there, for example. Or is it to do with the nature of the clothing in question?
A charged mob gathered outside a shop in Lahore's Ichra Bazaar after someone alleged that a woman's shirt had Quranic verses printed on it. "Gustakh e Rasool ki ek hi saza, STSJ STSJ" slogans were raised. A local TLP scholar intervened and made the woman, who is apparently a Sunni, apologize for wearing such clothes. Tariq Masood made a video on the incident where he praised the police woman who saved the life of that woman and he criticized both the secular liberals and religious extremists. His channel admin clarified that he wasn't specifically targeting TLP but people who misused the Labbaik slogan. As a response to the above, many Barlewi scholars are now releasing videos against him. Here is an example: There are many such clips from other Barelwi/TLP scholars. This raises many questions: Is the above response by barelwi / TLP scholars valid? If not, does it not give credence to Wahabi-Deobandi-SK propaganda that Barelwis are reckless in accusing others of blasphemy? Should TLP be subjected to a healthy criticism, devoid of both blind following and ta'assub?
