fatawa against tahir jhangvi

Ulama like Sayyid Turabul Haqq Shah Sahib have been active and have already made public declarations against Padri. So there is a difference.

0:00-4:20, specifically, 4:00-4:20, where he talks about tickets for the Prophet sallahu alayhi was salam (nauzzubillah), This is where Dr Padri Sahib deviated from ahle sunnat and reason for his Emience Hazoor Ghazaali Dowraan Shaykh ul Hadeeth Sayyed Sahib Qibla alayhi rehma stating in Lahore that Dr Sahib was Ghumrah.

Point that i was getting at is that there are a number of opinions regarding dr padri ranging from him being batreen ghumrah to those that side on takfir, so why do certain individuals display or have a predisposition towards bashing, labellings, maligning and insulting others who choose or follow a position that differs from theirs when there is an absence of ijma3 present on an issue?

I find brother Abdul Qadir's comments "in OUR TIMES, FOR TAHIR'S CASE - we are woefully short of a concerted effort to properly declare him a murtad - leaving the awam in limbo, and vulnerable to his dajjaliyat - this is the point" interesting, since according to his taHqeeq the awaam is in "limbo", why anyone feels they have a right to bash DI for saying he is "Ghumrah", which is the position of the Mufti Azam pakistan (last time i checked), I find strange.
 
More Ulama of Pakistan, India and UK need to give either attestation to earlier fatawa (like the one of Taj ush-Shariah)
or write their own fatwa regarding him. Otherwise it won't have an effect on the wider public.
 
It is simple. Taj ush-Shariah is undoubtly one of the leading Sunni Ulama in India.
But there is still a huge public that doesn't specifically follow Taj ush-Shariah.
But they follow for example Ulama of their area, or that are attached to their Pir group,
or then ones that appear more on tv etc. So if there are more Ulama that give the same
ruling, it will be accepted by more people.
This is not to say thatTaj ush-Shariah doesn't have any influence.
But if other Ulama follow Taj ush-Shariah in this, it will obviously have more effect.
 
no, but for THAT TIME, enough contemporaries signed it.

we also don't have all the contemporaries signing and endorsing Fatawa Alamgiri
I think something was missed - for I was being sarcastic: every "Sunni" follows Hussam ul Haramayn and he does not ask it to be re-verified by contemporaries.

in OUR TIMES, FOR TAHIR'S CASE - we are woefully short of a concerted effort to properly declare him a murtad - leaving the awam in limbo, and vulnerable to his dajjaliyat - this is the point.

it's not about establishing this or that person or institute's Sunniyat as much as it is about safeguarding the awam.

Agreed. Someone needs to take up this NOBLE task.

so then you're happy with all that has been done in regards to spreading information in the awam about tahir's kufriyat?
of course NOT!!!!!

and then why do you have issues with DI's fatwa because we don't need a fatwa from everyone for everything? DI is no different to the other Sunnis of pakistan, in whose documented rebuttals, you won't see them going beyond 'gumrah'
you missed the point brother: they must answer in full, with complete honesty considering the BLATANT Kufr of Tahir; why give an incomplete answer, that befuddles the awaam? the answer from DI makes you think that Tahir is just "non-Sunni" (so he is still a Muslim in layman's terms), but NOT a Murtad (which he actually is).

So, the awaam will think it is perfectly OK, to call upon others to do shirk, call Christians as Momins - and the only result is that you become a non-sunni (but you still remain a Muslim) - astaghferullah.

For how long will this confusion persist and who is responsible for it??



i'm staggered by your stance brother. on the one hand you talk about DI dodging the issue about principles of deen, on the other hand, you say this.

I have addressed it in the previous paragraphs.

Is it not ridiculous that in matters of Open Kufr - such as that committed by Tahir Jhangvi - that someone should say "I will follow only when so-and-so gives a fatwa" ? - we have already seen detailed fatwas of riddah on this dajjal, and yet we are asking for verification?

but on another note, and as brother abu Hasan rightly pointed out - that when asked, it is OBLIGATORY for the scholar to answer honestly and without fear.

AbdalQadir: All major sunni ulema should openly come out against tahir and state unequivocally that he has turned apostate due to his actions not just in speeches but also in writing either by issuing fatawa of their own or by endorsing already existing fatawa in the name of the institutions/jama'ats/organizations that they are part of or are seen to represent. This collective effort is required to corner tahir considering the false image of his sunniyat and piety imprinted on the public mind besides the fact the awaam have a tendency to exonerate all evils of their self-professed hero on the flimsiest of pretexts and an excuse of 'oh! that sunni shaykh still hasn't condemned him' is a very potent one to give tahir-sympathizers a means of escape and a launching pad to vilify as jealous bigots those scholars who have done takfir.

Aqib Qadri: Yes, such a thing would indeed be ideal and is necessary. Nonetheless, even if they don't, that's no reason for a mukallaf mu'min who is fully aware of tahir's kufr to preponderate on the matter just because the particular shaykh he follows is yet to issue a public condemnation of tahir - because that is equivalent to saying - "Not until my shaykh or that particular shaykh issues a public fatwa of kufr will I consider any denier of daruriyat-e-deen as kafir, even if I am fully aware that he has indeed violated a daruri precept" - which is completely illogical as far as the principles of deen are concerned. So tomorrow even if DI issues a fatwa of kufr against tahir and all attaris begin to consider him a murtadd, the ashrafis will say, "yes, we know that ridawis and attaris consider him a murtadd but we will not do so until madni miya declares him a murtadd in writing or speech"! Which begs the question: "Do you consider the infamous four deobandis muratdd or not? Will you deem them to be muslim unless and until the shaykh of your choice conveys to you in writing that they are not muslims? If someone insults the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) right in front of you - will you deem him a blasphemer right away? or will you write to your shaykh and wait till he issues a fatwa against the person?" If you say the former then tahir's case, after it has been made clear, is no different.
 
Agreed. Someone needs to take up this NOBLE task.

yes it is a very noble and reward-worthy task to humiliate and lambast tahir. a big hug for you for putting it like that brother!

Is it not ridiculous that in matters of Open Kufr - such as that committed by Tahir Jhangvi - that someone should say "I will follow only when so-and-so gives a fatwa" ? - we have already seen detailed fatwas of riddah on this dajjal, and yet we are asking for verification?

i've said it before on this forum. we are not living in the times of Imam Abdul Qadir Jilani or Imam Malik (radi Allahu 3anhum). if it was those times of such nobility, even their street sweepers and convicted criminals would know for a fact that tahir is a murtad dajjal. a fatwa wouldn't even be required. by now, tahir would have been hung out to dry!

i believe it was during the times of Sayyidina Hasan Al-Basri radi Allahu 3anhu wherein some rumor was spread that the dajjal appeared, and he just laughed it off, saying if dajjal has appeared in that time, the little kids of the area would poke fun at him and drive him away!

these are not those times. yes indeed, we don't need a fatwa from "my shaykh" or "my pir" on a matter of daruriyat-e-deen, but the fact of the matter is that

1. our awam has lost its marbles for the most part.

2. just 4 or 5 fatwas out of the entire subcontinent is too easy for this awam to brush it all under the "difference of opinion" rug! - regardless of "my shaykh" or "his shaykh" or so on - we have seen it right here on this forum.

it is for this reason, we need a coordinated and collective effort against tahir to issue a joint statement or ----- sigh ------

an open letter from the subcontinental ahle haqq ulema completely blasting him to smithereens ------


so people know that the all of the ulama-e-haqq know this murtad dajjal exactly for what he is and the bulk majority have endorsed this in writing!

it's not about verification per se. rather it's about getting an ijma3 (well, a desi one at least) so that we can spoon-feed it to the jahil awam falling for the dajjal.

btw, if we get a desi ijma3 from the Sunnis, the following benefits will follow (probably):

1a. the deobandis will shut their yaps from calling tahir a "Barelwi"; or
1b. if they grant him some sort of a refugee status welcome in their circles, they will establish their own status as mala3een a3daa ad-deen
2. in theory at least, any Arab/foreign Sunnis worth their salt will have no choice but to distance themselves from this dajjal based on what his own countrymen say

of course the common word shayateen won't care, and tahir is already in their league. he probably eagerly waits for the day he will get called to the ris conference.

So, the awaam will think it is perfectly OK, to call upon others to do shirk, call Christians as Momins - and the only result is that you become a non-sunni (but you still remain a Muslim) - astaghferullah.

For how long will this confusion persist and who is responsible for it??

in the pre-wembley fatwa (2005), the specific act of calling upon christians to do shirk in a mosque was NOT mentioned. the posed question was just if he's a Sunni or not and that's what the answer was tailored around.

post-wembley, they only gave you this one-liner as you posted here - http://sunniport.com/index.php?thre...position-on-alahazrat.11461/page-3#post-45028 - they probably didn't record your question specifically mentioning wembley kufriyat

this is no different to my anecdote with Darul Uloom Amjadia - i specifically spelled out his kufriyat and gave them specific questions - they just said along the lines of 'you already have a written fatwa from Tajush Shari3ah calling him a kafir. we agree with it. woh hamare badey hain. unka fatwa hamara fatwa hai' verbally of course.

i see your point. my point is that thus far, no one in pakistan has given a documented & sealed endorsement of establishing tahir's riddah.

they are all trying their level best not to issue a documented hujjah. DI is the same as all other pakistanis in this respect, at least same as Amjadia - just passing the buck, saying we rely on this or that shaykh's fatwa - Allahu a3lam if they have a valid 3udhr considering pakistan's political situation and anarchy. maybe you can take DI to task for 'their principle' but on this tahir issue, others are going by pretty much the same principle.

Darul Uloom Amjadia's logic is precisely what brother Unbeknown has said - every 3aqil baligh mukallaf momin with half a brain knows full well about tahir's blasphemy, so what's the need for a fatwa - they told me this in their defense of not issuing a written statement due to pakistani anarchic situation and politics

yes Shah Turabul Haq sahib blasts tahir in his majalis, as does Kaukab Noorani sahib (two people i know for sure who do this in their gatherings). i can show you whatsapp messages from his subordinate muftis at Amjadia, stating left, right and center that tahir is a khabeeth, a shaytan, a dajjal, etc.

i'm pretty sure DI muballighs might be doing the same in their mehfils, as will be Liaqath Hussein sahib, as will be Muzaffar Shah sahib and others.

but all this is not enough.

a written endorsement is something that stays as a historical record and hujjah.

it can be virally propagated to all those who are not fortunate enough to be closely associated to them or attend their gatherings. the written tehreer will reach even the ghafil awam.

also don't forget the so many desis living overseas, and his fitnah there is larger than it is back home.

just imagine if Ala Hazrat only trashed the deobandis in his bayans, but didn't write anything about them!

what would you or i have today as rebuttal on the deobandis?

i'm not defending DI here. rather forgive my hubris, but i'm saying all the pakistani ulema are mistaken in not issuing a clear cut written hujjah against tahir - despite mentioning his riddah in their bayans. again - Allahu a3lam if they have a valid 3udhr considering pakistan's political situation and anarchy

we are Sunnis who are not afraid of anything because the truth is on our side. we are not 12'er shias whose hatred of sahaba mostly comes to surface in spoken bayans as opposed to documentation.

btw, when i say bayans, i'm referring to private ones. on live tv, or recordings, more likely than not, you are bound to find the kind of toned down language akmal sahab uses in that linked video.
 
these were my stages of istifta with Darul Uloom Amjadia

1. i asked the mufti i know to please get a fatwa from Shah Sahib or any other mufti of Amjadia (including himself) on tahir, mentioning him by name along with the specific wembley event and its specific acts - was not successful, and i was told about the volatile situation in pakistan (politics, anarchy, foreign forces, local opposition, mafia thugs, etc.) i'm not saying this sarcastically*.

2. i asked him to then try to get a general fatwa without mentioning tahir by name, similar to what Aqdas said:

Background: Zayd claims to be an Islamic scholar. He organises an event advertised as an interfaith gathering contains “Muhammad – the Merciful” boldly in the title.

i was told, it makes no real difference as i am literally giving tahir's identity away, and such a fatwa would be no different than one mentioning him by name, and the whole volatile situation etc in pakistan. to be honest, this really hurt me as a Muslim.

3. ok try to get a fatwa from another smaller Sunni madrasah or Darul Uloom of your choice where big names wouldn't come to surface and it might stay low profile as far as the volatile situation is concerned. the dear mufti tried and gave up. he was confronted by something like (in my own words) 'what's a high profile Amjadia mufti doing asking us little guys for a fatwa?'. you know, rightly or wrongly, desis' minds work in overdrive to connect all the real or perceived dots.

4. during a lot of discussing and strategizing, i suggested to just add a signature or a stamp at the end of a copy or print out of Tajush Shari3ah's fatwa expressing their solidarity and agreement with him. i was told that can't be done for various different reasons

5. when they told me "woh hamarey bade hain. unka fatwa hamara fatwa hai" my final push was to ask them to just please give me this very one line on an Amjadia letterhead with their stamp 'We agree with Tajush Shari3ah's fatwa on tahir. His fatwa is our fatwa' thus endorsing the fatawa from india and expressing solidarity with indian Sunnis, and i was told that that's already understood and popularly known.

that's when i stopped persisting with them. all this transpired over a course of a month to two months.

---------

* my contact is a very down to earth, honest, and straight forward mufti who doesn't speak with the twisted tongue of diplomacy. and i have a lot of respect for hazrat qiblah Shah Sahib. if it was anyone else or any other institute, i would have probably not spared them my ruthless cynicism, but given their past works and efforts, and the fact that just about everyone in pakistan is reluctant to PUBLISH a hujjah against tahir's riddah, i am forced to ponder over the fact:

that Allahu a3lam perhaps they do have some 3udhr. maybe they are fulfilling their duty in spoken bayans and taqaareer but withholding from publishing it due to the situation in pakistan. they probably might feel that 'we are taking care of our congregations in our spoken bayans, as for those far away, it is the job of their own scholars to take care of them. we are not in a position to publish documentary statement on tahir's riddah'

but i do digress. i think sparing this dajjal from a written hujjah, will make matters worse for pakistani Islam and Muslims. it might even lead to a campaign to reverse the fatawa and laws against the shayateen known as qadianis. yes the times are bad and the situation in pakistan is volatile, but we need to remember the hadith that the reason we will be in such bad state towards the end of times is because of wahn - love of dunia, fear of death, and reluctance to fight

----------

so unless someone can point me to a pakistani mufti / darul ifta issuing a documented statement on tahir as an apostate dajjal, i don't take too well to anyone's singling out of DI for not issuing a documented statement on tahir. if you want to talk generally about the state of pakistani ulema, then that's fine, and i will even support you, see my lines above.

Salaam alaykom, I found your post really interesting and a fair and personal summation of where your at, and regarding your comments about DI i think you hit the nail on the head, that what i was trying to allude to. At the moment there is a number of differing opinions regarding Dr Padri, so why anyone feels they have a right to bash another brother/sister, malign them or insult them because they follow a differing opinion is fathomless, especially when there is no clear ijma3 on the matter.

In the case of the Deobandiyya akaabireen, there is fatawa's endoursed by the ulema of arab and ajam (55 mufti's from arabi & a fatawa endorsed by 300 ulema from india and another fatawa endorsed by 200+ ulema, so in total 555 ulema plus all those that have confirmed and endorsed it afterwards).

You will find something similar regarding the ahmadiyyah/qadianiyya etc, where there is clear consensus, but i do take your point brither Abdul Qadir that when it comes to Dr Padris sahib there isn't that firmness or clarity from the people who are suppose to be guiding us.

Allahu 3alim, may Allah azza wa jal forgive us for our short comings and grant us to be on a better way inshallah
 
what about the fatwa by Mufti Fazl Siyalvi of Sargodha, isn't it a fatwa of kufr?*

@snaqshi what you have been saying is not at all 'alluding' to what brother AQ has said. Go through your previous posts. If you have changed your stance please state it clearly.






*just for info. not trying to say that everyone else is spineless.

and brother chisti-raza's point is pertinent: Turab-ul-Haq sahib is ATLEAST refuting tahir in public which is better than complete silence.

Other Pakistani ulema who have publicly refuted tahir by name: sayyid Muzaffar Hussain, Asif Jalali sahib, sayyid Irfan shah, Mufti Ashraful qadiri.

But I don't know if any of them have done takfir in public. I remember that Irfan shah sahib did hint at this in the aftermath of the wembley circus.
 
snaqshi, i didn't say there are differences of opinion on tahir in pakistani Sunni circles.

i said that for the most part, the Sunni pakistani ulema are not putting their rulings on paper that tahir is a murtad, rather they're just verbally saying it in private gatherings or hinting to it.

For the record brother "unbeknown" i have not changed my position and neither neither do i call anyone "spineless" for adopting a differing opinion in the abscence of ijma3 on a matter. What I have said and consistently said is that there is differing of opinions regarding Dr padri sahib ranging from "batreen Ghumrah (mufti azam Allama Ashraful Qadiri's current position [last time i heard]" to fatawas of kufr.

My initial comments were at brother attari786, which i stated that it was better for him to follow the position of his shaykh/the tanzeem he follows on the matter, which happens to be DI, who have stated that Dr padri is ghumrah whether this fatawa needs revising due to newer events involving Dr Padri sahib then that is for them to address).

So brother, "unbeknown" if you own personal thought is that anyone who does not make takfir on Dr Padri is spineless (in your opinion), what you going to say about Mufti Azam Pakistan Mufti Ashraful Qadiri sahib, that he is spineless? Astagfirollah azeemi wa atoubu ilayh!!!

And for the record my postion on the matter regarding that of Dr padri is that of Mufti Azam Pakistan Mufti Ashraful Qadiri (may allah bless him) and Ghazali Dowran alayhi rehma wardah namely he is batreen ghumrah....
 
My position is that what tahir did at Wembley was kufr and if he continues to support his action and considers it permissible, then he has become a kafir.

Ulama should at least address the Wembley issue, whether it is kufr or not. So don't call him a kafir if you're unsure of his current position but the past can't be changed. The Wembley event is on YouTube so at least tell people the ruling upon such actions.

snaqshi, please care to understand what an asterisk succeeding and preceding a satement indicates.

Secondly note the difference between:

1. Difference of opinion.
2. Difference in publicizing an opinion.

Thirdly, if you have not changed your stance then the reply by AQ should tell you that you are on a completely different plain to his- so your 'alluding' pharse is inapplicable.

the Wembley issue

btw, the wembley issue might slip urdu-only ulema due to lack of knowledge in english

i know this from my communication with the Amjadia mufti sab. the very first thing he told me was that he doesn't know english so sending him tahir's video of the wembley episode was not much useful.

alhamdulillah i transcribed the english of tahir's comments, and sent it to the mufti sab along with its urdu translations

also when other common people like us offer to translate it for the benefit of the scholars who don't know english, we tend to be careful we don't come across as 'acting smart' in front of them, if you know what i mean.

my point is that for those ulema who don't know english, and consequently might not come to grip with the seriousness of tahir's blasphemies, they need to be adequately and seriously informed. don't assume anything.

also some youtube videos of the event with subtitles in urdu and Arabic etc. need to be made. tahir's shaytaniyat and dajjaliyat needs to be translated for the ulema who don't know english. sad but that's what needs to be done.
