The Recent Attacks from Forumers and So Called “Report Teams” –

                                     Answering the ad-homimem Attacks

The recent attacks on me has been nothing more than the same old character assassination we have seen many times before when people cannot handle the very subjects that are placed before them, they simply resort to attacking the character of those who presented the points. This is known as the logical fallacy of ad-hominem, which is to avoid the main issue at hand and resort to insults, name calling, character defaming etc.

When I was searching for truth in my Wahhabi days, I did not focus on the bad character of so and so, the cutting of a birthday cake with the Christians by such and such. In-fact, I looked at the very crux of the issues at hand. I realized it was pointless looking at such and such character as they are soon to be buried and forgotten, and this is important to keep in mind as a new generation will arise, as they did before, and have to go through the cycle of looking and researching through all these points yet again.

It will not concern them who Andrew Sanders is or was, yet the issues and the main topic at hand will be important for them. Therefore I find all this “he said, she said” style of debate childish and pathetic. Now I could be the biggest liar and still stand here and tell you the truth today. Refuting Andrew Sanders does not mean that if you can prove Andrew Sanders to be a liar, then you have successfully refuted the topic of one tawheed, the classical understanding of Bid’ah, the permissibility of madh-habs, the permissibility of madh-habs and so forth. No, some people need to realize that these issues will still be in their faces begging sincere research long after I am dead and buried. Therefore why should the subject be about me?

One cannot even use Mustalah al-Hadeeth and ilm ur-Rijaal as an issue and this is simply due to the fact that they are not scholars, they have not the qualification to look into biographies, sanads and matns and even make conclusions about such and such, you will find they do not even know Arabic. So the damage is only done to themselves. Besides the very first principle in Mustalah al-Hadeeth, as found in Imaam Ibn Hajar al-Asqalaani’s Nukhbaat al-Fikr is to verify the news of a Faasiq, NOT totally reject the news of a Faasiq as the opposition to my writings would have you believe. So even if I was a Faasiq, they cannot escape the issue by simply proving that I am a liar. The issue still faces them and there is no escaping it

They do not realize that when they talk about Andrew Sanders that they are making themselves look suspect. As I said before I could be the greatest criminal to walk this earth and exposing that would not debunk the issues that I have spoken about. If you debate me, my character, my grand-ma and grand-dad and manage to convince the people, fair enough, but the issues still exist, the Ahl us-Sunnah still stands strong. I am nothing, I do not know why these pathetic souls even waste their time on me and give me all this fame that they have been doing.

However, it is like this people, and I have noticed this, and I want you to notice this too. I have to admit right now, I am not a scholar of Islam, I am a simple student who studies and then presents sincere research to the people, I am simply a servant of Allah and a servant of the people. Now, I have seen the very same style attacks not just on me, but on the scholars. I have had the privilege to share the same internet page in being slandered alongside Shaykh Tahir al-Qadri and Sidi al-Hajj Abu Ja’far al-Hanbali, and I see these same people slandering and backbiting the very likes of Hamza Yusuf Hanson, Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi, even I have witnessed the fitnah and evil of the words they have about the 19th century Mujaddid Imaam Ridaa Khan al-Barelwi. So when I see the attacking these noble characters it makes me think, will they ever stop? Do these people have any manners, respect for their elders or the scholars? Simply put no.

Then I am not all surprised on their attacks on somebody comparatively as small as I am. I am simply the dirt of the dirt of the shoe of these great people they slander and I am actually somewhat pleasured that I mentioned in the same breath as them. I have been honored by these Wahhabis that they call me a Sufi, not that I attribute purity to myself, no, but i do indeed aspire to be like the Sufis, and be from amongst them on Yawm ul-Qiyaamah. They have also honoured me with the title Barelwi, even though I am not from the subcontinent, these Wahhabis have grouped me with a Shaykh ul-Islam and a true Mujaddid of his time, so I am tickled with pleasure by some of the insults of late.

To throw insults is in their nature, in-fact I can safely say it is their minhaj. It is the minjaj of Dhul Khuwasaira who stood in the Prophet’s blessed face and accused him of doing injustice with the very words “Fear Allah”. Therefore I am not at all surprised if these Wahhabis accuse me of having bad adab, or the fact they call me a liar etc. When the books released they are going to call me a whole lot but, Hasbi Allah wa Ni’mal Wakeel.

                            Sincerity in Research and the Shaykh Google Challenge

In order to study into the Wahhabi cult and what they truly belive I have had to go and purchase the books, read them first hand, analyze the arguments and see if they stand true. I have not just read the books in plain English, no, I have also gone through the Arabic text as terminologies are important to understand and can be to easily overlooked and at worst, misunderstood. Without boast I have acquired all of Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab’s works in Arabic, even the texts that have not been translated into English as of yet. Therefore, in order to know what I am talking about I have made great purchases of Wahhabi books here and there and have read them for myself.

Not only Wahhabi books, I have had to invest in many classical books on creed, tafseer, hadeeth etc just to find and verify what has been said here and there, I spend many hours reading, translating, cross referencing and taking notes. The most important thing about my research is that I am dedicated to eye verification and having the satisfaction of knowing I have seen such evidences for myself.

When dealing with the Wahhabi books and the mention of such and such scholars, I have always marked down these scholars, the day there were born and the day that they died and then I would seek out their biography and see what other scholars affirmed their authenticity and then I would go to their books and see what they actually said. By doing this I have filtered the information given to me by the Wahhabiyyah to simply put it under the spotlight of investigation.

Can my opposition say the same? Have they gone out and spent their hard-earned cash on books, verified information for themselves, or have they simply resorted google.coming any and everything they can find on forums throughout the internet? One such group who called themselves the “Fakehead Report Team” penned a refutation upon me, but when I analyzed every evidence they had used, I found them to have plagiarized they’re so called refutation partially from Dar us-Salaam’s edition of al-Aqeedah ul-Wastiyah by Ibn Taymiyyah, the Salafi publications forum, and so forth.

Even their footnotes were stolen, as they did not even take care to tidy up the refutation and make sure all the spelling was consistent, so in one footnote they made it look like they quoted from Imaam Muwaffaq ud-Deen’s al-Mughni but had spelled it al-Moghni and Mughni in the other footnote. When I threw their evidences in the google search engine, I knew exactly where they had been stealing their answers from.

Did they actually go back to the evidences and verify them for themselves? no. Moreover are they prepared to look into my research and verify? No. Thus their refutation is nothing but asbaiyyah, group mentality and as Allah says in the Qur’an: “But the people divided their religion among them into sects – each faction, rejoicing what it has with them” Surat Al-Mu’minun, ayah 23. So their efforts can be narrowed down to a simple tribalisitic attempt to defend their group, which is in fact the Jahiliyyah trait known as Asbiyyah. I had hoped for better from a people claiming to be sincere students of the deen, and furthermore a “Report Team” who have done taqleed of the nearest Wahhabi apologetic paper they could get their hands on.

Well, at least I can boast that all of my research has been of my own back and i have not had to rely on Shaykh ul-Islam google.com to aid me at all. The challenge is to throw the work that is done in the google search engine, and you will most certainly find, that I am not a copy and paste clown.

                                           What is a Barelwi?

The Wahhabis often through the term Barelwi around and pin it to those who disagree with their false creed. But what is a Barelwi? Well according to the the Wahhabis [who often pose the question what is a Wahhabi but are too dumb to get it], a Barelwi is anybody who follows the creed of the great subcontinent reviver of the deen [Mujaddid] Imaam Ridaa Khan who was from the in Bareilly district, Uttar Pradesh, India. Hence the name al-Barelwi.

In simple terms, Barelwis are named after the Imaam who was from a location by the same name. However, the claim what we should be really looking at right here is did Imaam Rida Khan al-Barelwi bring anything new? Did he innovate? Was he the founder of a new creed? Or can this creed be found within the chain of revivers that have been sent every 100 years to revive the deen and dispell the bid’ah? Can Imaam Rida Khan al-Barelwis creed be proven from the Qur’an and the Sunnah and the classical understanding of the first three generations? The following videos shed light who the reviver [al-Mujaddid] Imaam Raza Khan al-Barelwi rahmatullah alayhi is and clear him from some of the false accusations

Furthermore, the one of the Mujaddidun of this era, Shaykh al-Haqq, Muhammad al-Yaqoubi has the following to say about Imaam Raza Khan al-Barelwi:

In otherwords, Imam Raza Khan s the touchstone of today, if you love him your a Sunni, if you hate him your a deviant!!

In some weeks to come inshaAllah , in a number of separate threads we will be going through the Wahhabi’s Ehsan Elahi Zaheer’s “The Reality of  Barelwi-ism” book and refute the many lies therein that fakehead Wahhabis insincere in their research tend to brandish against the Imaam without verifying the facts
