As Salamu alaikum,

It sounds like the Barelwis are losing their following and they are starting to get worried. Surely, Tabligh Jamat in Tarim is hardly noticeable, though the Ulama of Tarim seem to respect the effort. There are wahhabis in Tarim but they are pretty much in every other place as well. It is weird how the write mentions, " Many senior scholars have bought this to light to Habib Omar and Habib Ali Jafri but they prefer to turn the blind eye." Who are these senior scholars exactly ? Why would they bring it up to Habib Ali in the first place, he lives in the U.A.E !
Walaykum salam.
They are very worried, indeed. Before each and every one of our ijtemaat, they take pledges at street corners and in the slums where they are centred that the Barelwis will not go to attend the Ijtema. Its "Shock and Awe" for al Barelwiyyah. I don't know who their "senior scholars" are because their definition of a scholar is someone dressed in a flourescent green, yellow or saffron robe accompanied by two cabbages on his head which he ties with a huge brown turban, shrieks and shouts on the stage, abuses the people of Tawhid & Sunna roundly, collects his money for his "act", eats like a glutton and sleeps like Kumbhakaran while Fajr is going on. So you might have some difficulty in searching for a "scholar" in them. They might want to bring it up with Sayyidi Habib 'Ali because they have started suspecting his Sunnism because of his support for the work of Da'wah. WS.
