It will be very nice if that explanation becomes available to public because this is a point which is very delicate. And I completely agree with your sensitivities also. Maulana Qmaruddin Sahab (DB) is a khalifa of my grand Shaikh Hazrat Shah Abrar-ul-Haq Sahab Haqqi Sahab (RA) (number 77 in this list) but I do not have personal contact with him. Wassalam
Mawlana Qamaruddin from Allahabad? Some of his Khulafa' are very close to me.
I know which scholar in Deoband you are talking of, hadrat.
Wa alaykum salaam I stopped visiting this forum some time ago, your reply on this thread sent me an email so here I am again It was actually after reading passages like this from that book that I made this thread as I wanted to know who the author was. I have been constantly told by Deobandis to avoid Jamaat-e-Islami people because they attack Sahaba, although I myself have never heard or read a single J.I person say this in there own literature or talks, I have only heard them speak good of the sahaba. When I read this book I thought this might be a J.I person and thats what Deobandis have been talking about all the time. Now I'm really surprised to find out that he is actually Deobandi as well, so why are there not piles of refutations against him? Makes me wonder is the attack on J.I people from Deobandis really standing up for the principle or is just out of partisanship? Wa alaykum salaam Yes this is a delicate that needs to be dealt with because ignorant people can get easily influenced by rafidi lies and distortions. That book is really not beneficial when learning about the history of the early generations but it does have good summaries of later Islamic dynasties. However the bad outweighs the good to me. For an accurate and detailed portrayal of the events in the time of the Sahaba, I recommend the series of lectures called "the Fitna" by Sh. Kamal al-Mekki. The Fitnah By: Kamal El Mekki A look at the early history of Islam from the time of Uthman Ibn Affan..until Abdullah Ibn Azzubair. CD-1: The life of Uthman Ibn Affan: His Khilafa and the begining of the Fitnah. CD-2: The beginings of the Fitnah(cont). The assassination of Uthman and the pledge to Ali. CD-3: Ali regains the provinces and the Army of Aisha, Talha, and Azzubair. CD-4: The Battle of Al-Jamal and the Battle of Siffin. CD-5: The Battle of Siffin (cont). The emergence of the Khawaarij. The assassination of Ali. The Khilafa of Al-Hassan Ibn Ali and Muawiah. CD-6: Muawiah (cont). Yazeed Ibn Muawiah. The martyrdom of Al Hussein Ibn Ali and Abdullah Ibn Azzubair. Download [100 MB ZIP]
Good point akhi. This is failing of a single individual and not the creed of the majority. I had added a statement about his short flick with modernity and then turning away from that. This should be hint enough for us to ignore his failings, particularly when he is no more. Wassalam
