Molvi Zishan 'Misbahi'

Two people sent me this article on whatsapp and i wanted to know what abu hasan or noori thinks of this disaster of an article
 
a brother sent me an english summary of this so called opinion piece.

having been an avid student of kalam and especially takfir issues for decades now, i reiterate that alahazrat's positions and opinions are among the most cautious and unimpeachable. i don't know what dr.zishan was smoking while writing the article, but anyone who accuses alahazrat of takfirism is ignorant, blind or harbors pure hatred. in an era of social media madness where abject ignorance is praised to the sky as 'knowledge', such hit pieces are meant to gather likes and enjoy their five minutes of fame.

every maulvi who has attacked alahazrat was disgraced, humiliated or forgotten - and it is my belief (wAllahu a'alam) that it is a validation of the sahih hadith and because of alahazrat being a true waliy for many reasons, but most importantly for his unfathomable love of mustafa alayhis salatu wa's salam.

going by the english summary i had received earlier, it appears that this is a hit piece by a closet devbandi or a devbandi admirer who pretty much resorts to bald faced lies merely to incriminate alahazrat.

a million such zeeshan's shaan will disappear in the windswept dust of history. but beynishanon kaa nishaan miT'taa nahin.

nas'alu Allah al aafiyah.

A Deobandi telegram channel wrote the below message:

I have found that one of the most impressive contemporary Barelwi Ulama from the subcontinent on the subject of Takfir is Moulana Zishan Ahmad Misbahi. He has a book on the subject which I have a physical copy of but could not find a pdf of it. However, the following article of his will give one an idea of the academically robust manner in which he challenges the phenomenon of Takfir found within the community:

https://alehsanmedia.com/article/ala-hazrat-ki-takfeerat-fiqhi-hain-ya-kalami#_edn6

Here he, honestly, engages with the contradiction found in the Fatawa of A'la Hazrat, in relation to the subject of Takfir. One one hand, you find fatawa from him where he abstains from doing takfir of Ibn Taymiyyah, Muhammad bin Abd al-Wahhab and Shah Ismail Dehlawi. On the other hand, you find blanket takfir from him of not only the Shi'a but also the Wahhabis, Ghayr Muqallidin and even Deobandis.

Among the ways of reconciling these contradictory Fatawa, some have argued for a distinction between Fiqhi and Kalami Takfir. However, Moulana Zishan expresses his disatisfaction with such a distinction.

As a result, when followers are challenged about blanket takfir, then they defend A'la Hazrat by saying that he only did Takfir of a handful of Ulama from another Maslak. Whilst on the other hand, when efforts of uniting the ranks of Muslims are made, then a narrow notion of Sunnism is adopted.

Thus, you find, on one hand, Fatawa of prominent Barelwi Ulama rejecting blanket takfir of Wahhabis and Deobandis, yet you find others who are quick to do Takfir, leading to confusion among the masses in the community.

So, if an Alim ends up praying their Salah behind a Deobandi or a Janazah over them, then Moulana Zishan says, then the 'Janazah' of the Aqidah and Imam of such an Alim is performed. The examples of Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman, Pir Karam Shah, Allamah Ghulam Rasul Saeedi can be cited in this regard.

Therefore, Moulana Zishan argues for either the Fatawa of A'la Hazrat to be put down to Sadd-ul-Dhariah; where he has done Takfir based on Luzum-e-Kufr, following the way found among the Muta'kkhirin or we accept A'la Hazrat following the way of the Muhaqqiqin of extreme caution in Takfir and question the attribution to A'la Hazrat of Fatawa to the contrary. In the footnotes, he quotes the concern of some compilers, editors and publishers of Fatawa Rizwiyyah about damage done to the manuscripts by bookworms and the like, to put into question the text of such Fatawa attributed to A'la Hazrat.

We pray that the growing number of Ulama, like Moulana Zishan, put to bed the century old Fitnah of Takfir, which continues to poison and divide the ranks of mainstream Sunnis.

one thing is clear - that alahazrat remains the kasauti/touchstone of sunniyat in our times. only those who are true and staunch sunnis will be pleased with him. and every deviant will get mad and pour scorn upon him.

kilk e raza hai khanjar e khunkhar barq baar
a'ada say kahdo khayr mana'en na sharr karen
 
surprisingly, deobandis have only hailed him as a scholar and "moulana" whereas opposition of alahazrat elevates the person to leading academic, or even mujtahid according to deobandis (the only qualification for respect is opposition to alahazrat).

looking at the guy - who doesn't seem to have even completed his studies. this is the desperation of deobandis!
