http://www.hizmetbooks.org/Belief_and_Islam/bbooks.htmAll the books sent down by Allahu ta'ala are just and right. There is no lie or fault in them. Though He said He would punish and torture, it was said that it was possible (jaiz) that He would forgive; this depends on His Will or on conditions which man could not know, or it is meant that He would forgive the punishment which Muslims deserve. Since the words 'punishment' and 'torture' do not narrate an event, it would not be a lie if He forgives. Or, though it is not jaiz that He would not give the rewards which He promised, it is jaiz that He would forgive the punishments. Reason, laws of human beings and ayats prove us right.
this was a feature we wanted in the first release itself - and we even listed many of them in the initial versions, but soon we realised that it was time consuming and with the debate on 'imkan' raging on forums, what with kadh'dhabiyyah gloating and lying brazenly with perfect shamelessness, we wanted to get this out* at the earliest, and after internal discussions, we decided to leave out cosmetic features for the next release and with the rationale that those who wish to examine the arabic text will probably find it with just the name of the book.If a future release is to come, please try to include the editions you used so that it would be easier to match the page numbers of the quotes in the footnotes with the actual arabic text. Just a friendly suggestion.

That's the point. No one is trying to defend the indefensible that would be futile. The accusations by the Bralwi side do not correlate to what is currently being taught by deoband about these issues. The only place I hear about these "deobandi" beliefs are from the Bralwi folk. I do not hear them being propogated in various circles of deobandi present scholars . So either they have dropped these beliefs over time or they were just accusations to begin with and never existed the way the Bralwi side presented them. This seems to be the case judged on the one way venom which is being thrown . Or are these deviant deobandi positions being taught in secret ? If that's the case it's certainly passed by me for over 2 decades. It's certainly NOT my personal position that Allah has lied or can lie but my position is as the subtle explanation that was given in the previous post about Allah having the power to be able to do opposite of what he revealed eg. Placing firawn in paradise (but Allah would not do this ). The Bralwi side seem to have constructed straw accusations and presented the positions and other topics in ways which are obviously indefensible. Sh. Manzoor Numani wrote about this in detail at the time.
If the original works of deoband on these issues are as you say then why are these erroneous beliefs NOT being propogated by deoband ? Which majlis are these deobandi beliefs being secretly propogated ?Why are they being so profusely propagated by the Bralwi side ?Give me any of your accusations that you claim deobandis believe and I will unravel them for you in simple laymen terms. Dont tell me such and such wrote this therfore "deobandis believe this ".
