subject: anecdotal description of deobandis' sense of shame & integrity, and their crocodile tears
salam alaikum
in the somewhat recent past, on our company's whatsapp group some deobandi uploaded this tan tan tana tan "na3t"
https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=4SGfL7JLLdc
he did it specifically to tick me off, and kept posting it again and again hoping to poke fun and/or get an abrupt reaction from me
after about six or seven times of his posting various conmedic enactments of that tan tana tan na3t, some superimposed on bollywood movie scenes, i had enough of this guy
being the incredibly mellow person i am, i posted
this little nugget of wisdom from mr. ashraf ali thanvi - with a full english translation, and a footnote on the esteemed status of ashraf ali in deoband, just so the neutral mallus too grasped the full extent of it and all appreciated it equally well
the person's posting obviously stopped and for the next one week he didn't even look me in the eye in the office or respond to my whatsapp messages on the group
about a fortnight later, the admin of the group, a true deobandi who always dons a namaz cap and never lies or engages in any underhanded dealings, ever - and the closest friend of the guy who posted the "na3t" - who simply couldn't swallow such an exposition of his hakeemul ummat - calls me out on this issue when we're having an argument about another issue - and he says
"last week aap ne hazrat thanvi ki kitab se woh topic post kiya tha! aap ne woh mazak udane ke liye aur fitnah paida karne ke liye post kiya tha na? idhar woh post karne ki kya zaroorat thi? don't you know some of us follow deobandi maslak?" to which, in the heat of the moment, i replied,
"ji bilkul mazak udane ke liye hi post kiya tha. us se pehle [other deobandi] ne woh tan tana tan wali na3t bhi isi liye post ki thi. doesn't he know some of us follow the Barelvi maslak?" (i admit, i should have said, "maine to aapke hakeemul ummat ki kitab se pura topic jun ka tun post kiya tha. ab agar aap apney hakeemul ummat ki tasanif padh kar sharmsar hotey hain to mera kya kusur?!") the other deobandi had to interject after my comment and said,
"[AbdalQadir] bhai, woh real incident hai, maine mazak nahin udaya aur aapke apney barelvi maulanaon ne us na3tkhwan se tawba bhi karwai hai." i replied to that by,
"to maine bhi to aapke hazrat thanvi ki real kitab se real topic copy kiya tha. it is not fiction!... and the translation is also correct. if it is not real or if my translation is wrong, please prove it and i will apologize in front of everyone"
from that day onwards we have a rule - that the informal, unsanctioned, deobandi-run 'company' whatsapp group is for work-related matters only, no religious topics, jokes, bollywood, picnic invites etc. obviously, i quit it myself with my head high.

i concur with abu Hasan - Shaykh Asrar should release a similar video on youtube/social media (as this monkey did) and
1) ask him to first of all list out all the alleged blasphemies that Ala Hazrat supposedly uttered - with references
2) when, where and how did the "magnificent akabir" of deoband respond to those blasphemies
without that there's no point giving this dog of hellfire the attention he is craving.
he is just trying to divert the limelight from Mawlid celebrations to the devils of deoband.
