The Fitnah of Takfir

The accusation of "Kufr and Shirk" upon Majority of Muslims by certain people who think that their own personal set of beliefs are right and others are wrong. This is a major strife which has been lurking around in Muslim Ummah since ages. Some people go to the extent of accusing the great Hanafi Muslims as a whole (including the Deobandis and Barelvis) and not to forget that they consider Shi’ites as disbelievers without a second thought.

Let us see how the Prophet (Peace be upon him) looked at Shirk in Muslim Ummah as compared to the self assumed Tawhid of certain extremists who show up with different names but mostly they belong to the same La Madhabiyyah sect.
The man most infamous for Takfir(Ahmed Reza Barelwi) was not a La-madhhabi. Some of his verdicts include:
"Those belonging to Nadwat ul 'Ulama are disbelievers and those who do not call them disbelievers are disbelievers.
The scholars of Deoband are disbelievers and those who do not call them disbelievers are disbelievers.
The ghayr muqallidin of the Ahl Hadith are disbelievers.
Mawlana 'Abd al Bari Farangi Mahalli is a disbeliever, as well as another who committed the crime of joining the Khilafat movement, his brother in Tariqa, Maulwi 'Abd al Majid Badayuni.
Mawlana 'Abd al Qadir Badayuni is a disbeliever. Of disbelief he was a relentless machine gun, Allah have mercy. Besides few groups of people in Bareilly no one remains a Muslim.
Thus it is possible, believing this turmoil and uproar from Khan Sahib and those like him who called Godly people disbelievers to be the barking of dogs, he (Imam Rashid Ahmad Gangohi) preferred to maintain silence. The principle is:

Indeed I pass by the base one who insults me
I pass by from there saying: It does not concern me."

(Fayslah kun Munazarah by Mawlana M Manzur Nu'mani, translated into English by Mawlana Zameel ur Rehman)
