AQ, can you please send me the question to submit to Dawat e Islami and Iyas Qadiri Sahib so that we can obtain a fatwa from them on Obaidullah Azmi by name? You can post the question here. A brother here is prepared to send it to them using his full name for the fatwa.
which also means that instead of iqamate hujjat for Islam and muslims, he gave the hindus themselves a hujjat - they can now say, "look even muslims agree that ram existed and he is the IMAM of India" wonderful application of the principle from Imam Qurtubi's jami al aHkam a round of applause for KHATEEB-UL-HIND....
right then, here are some quick facts: this is the official list of all kathas with their dates and venue. The last entry for 2013 is No. 734, venue: Adipur, Gujrat date: 28.12.2013 - 05.01.2014 Adipur is in gandhidham (use google maps). The dainikbhaskar article was published on 30.12.2013 The news piece heading is: Ram is the Imam of Hidustan, Mawlana Azmi A question: why would the paper publish a decade old article right in the midst of an on-going ram-katha and that too in precisely the same location? too many similarities to be coincidences?
'nice' pose: http://i10.dainikbhaskar.com/thumbnail/320x278/web2images/www.divyabhaskar.co.in/2013/12/30/7792_untitled-33.jpg Editing Notes: 1. This post was edited on 13/09/2015 because I noticed that the image had been quietly taken down from the original link (I noticed this when I wished to show the image to a scholar). 2. The only deeni platform where this image was posted was sunniport or atleast this was the first one (to the best of my knowledge). This would mean that a forum visitor noticed this and alerted the people (ir)responsible for having it removed. I have a strong hunch that it was sunnistudent or one of his 'friends' who run the infamous blog floated with the sole purpose of bad mouthing ulema-e-deen, even if it means supporting the praise of demi-gods. 3. Finally this means that the closet of obaidullah camp is bursting with skeletons and the proverbial 'tinka' is glaringly visible in the pretentious beard of the 'chor'. 4. Note how stealthily they work for their cause and on the other hand fool the masses by raising an unholy ruckus over a minor alteration (intentional or otherwise or perceived) in the wording of the correct fatwa. 5. Here is a list of places where the image is now available: http://imagebin.ca/v/2FVBWBHCwZ9J http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=t8vxg5&s=8#.VfViRRFViko http://s30.postimg.org/azfutw7vh/obaid_azmi_ramkatha.jpg?noCache=1442144872
well, this is certainly an interesting find. just to be sure, how do you know that the speech was given in 2013 and not that the article was published in 2013? I am asking because I don't understand gujrati much and the article just states a few things about uka praising ram and meeting morari (based on the little I could make of the gujrati words). if found to be true I can only imagine the repercussions this would have. I think it must not be too difficult to ascertain if we can get in touch with someone living in gandhidham....
http://m.divyabhaskar.co.in/news/Bh...speak-in-gandhidham-ramkatha-4478962-NOR.html the speech took place in 2013
in his article 'behr e faqhat kay durr e shahwar' published in jahan e mufti e azam on page 442 (pdf version 444)
mufti nizam sahab himself admits that they do this due diligence, but unfortunately not in uka's case;
what did Alahazrat say about fighting alongside hindus for the independence of India? Apparently he said in the risala al-nabigh an-noor that it is not the fight for islam. See the following index of masa'il which is from page 10171 of DI's edition of FR. As per the index, this mas'ala appears in the text of the risala after the refutation of abdul-majid-daryabadi and slightly before the reply to question no. 4. I read those pages a few times but could not locate the exact statement. I even used the search function of DI's software version of FR but without success. Help would be appreciated. -------------- Kindly note that this is not an exercise in futility since in the Urs speech UKA had categorically said that gandhi, bose et al. had done jihad. The muftis did not stop him form saying this. After reading a few passages from al-nabigh and muhajjatul-mu'tminah I feel that had alahazrat been around today he would have censured these people very very severely. Brothers who have been following the thread will notice that it was this urs-speech that made me lose my tether. I feel as if I have been cheated personally for all the trust and faith I had put in these muftis. I hope they come out with a detailed fatwa that addresses all three of uka's speeches and also let us know exactly why was uka given 74 mins of the urs-celebration to address personal issues and say such things 'ram was bahadur, bahaadur aadmi ko bahaadur nahi bolenge?' Allah ta'ala knows best.
@SS - brother, you are contradicting yourself. First you say 'we don't have to mean anything'. and then you confirm exactly what I meant, by saying "he did not present full speech"... also check out my post 239 and that of brother Unbeknown at 232
I find it hilarious that [edited by noori: no personal attack please] SS is saying the fatwa is forged without any proof whatsoever.
@SS Please send the link of the original (2002) FULL SPEECH to the forum. Brothers will try to get the fatwa based on the full speech - if indeed the "missing part" has any relevance to the subject. the "balance" (missing part) of the speech - which Obaidullah chose not to write in his istifta, could contain ONLY the following:- 1. words unrelated to the kufriyyat he uttered (political rambling, economy, history etc) 2. words which could pin him further If the "missing part" did have some "solid reason" for absolving Obaidullah from the charges, HE WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY INCLUDED that in the istifta. which leads to the same conclusion, that the 'larger text' Obaidullah presented in the istifta, is actually what the muftis needed to consider.
I think few brothers here are nitpicking about who (which brother) said what and what that means. Such waste of time - reminds me of the proverb "baal ka khaal ukhdana" (means 'to painstakingly separate the skin fragment from every hair strand'). Hacked this, tampered that - spare me the conspiracy theories. Just cut to the chase. All I care about is - if Mufti Nizamuddin were to be presented the full speech, will he pass the fatwa of kufr on Obaidullah. As SS says, Mufti sahab hasn't heard the full speech. Now present him the full speech and all previous such speeches of Obaidullah and get a fresh fatwa. That's all I care for. Will Obaidullah be absolved or indicted? Problem (to me, may be not for all over here) is that Obaidullah is getting away with murder and he is now posing with 'this' fatwa to claim his innocence. I am not interested in finding fault with Mufti Nizamuddin. I am only interested in finding whether Obaidullah has committed kufr in sum (and some) of his speeches and utterances. Will SS bother to get fresh Ashrafiya fatwa? Just say - yes or no.
i never bothered to check if the fatwa was on the website for no one disputed it's authenticity. I have not claimed that it was put up later. So this point is neither here nor there. Aqib qadri said 'larger part' and I said the same thing in my "conclusions" below. re-visit them. please re-read my post. The PROOF is ubaidulla's own words which he uttered on march22. You just quoted my post and still decided to ignore it. This is beginning to get suspicious...
Zaroori hisse ko chod diya>>. zaroori hissa is not Poori taqreer. Or else we need to accept that he delivered a 9 minutes speech in Gujarat.! People do have access to complete speech. I will wait for anyone to prove that Muftis heard complete speech. Reminder, full speech is not 9 minutes. Again, this time we won't get any proof. Wait and Watch. There will be 100 turns and replies, but no proof. The fatwa was available on that day as well, when the membership was shown. But the fatwa was not shown.Fortunately, fatwas are not fabricated in Ashrafia, neither do people who upload it live in UK.

The "complete speech" is 9 minute speech because this was used by the Nagpur people and uploaded on internet. People do have access to complete speech.
