what about barelwis? should they carry on following raza khan?

Assalamualaikum,

sorry for my late reply.

App meri baat ko nahi samjay,

but no problem I will try my best to explain again maybe in a different way.

Today is a time of fitnah, every jamaat such as brelvi/salafi/qadiyani e.t.c say that they are on the right path. And since you know yourself that the 'ulama of deoband are on the haq, the true path and I know myself as I have seen enough proofs true kashf of awliya Allah who are alive in this time.

If you go out to brelvi and start saying "you should not follow raza khan, or you should do this and that and not this and that e.t.c " they would not accept. Because in their mind they are filled up with hatred of deobandi. What will happen is that you will end up with arguement which will reach no conclusion and no agreement.

But once again I am not saying all brelvis are wrong. Because there are such brelvi that they have "no difference" in aqeedah with the deoband, I heard this from Moulana Makki (db) [Of masjid al haram and pure deobandi and ...one of the best 'alim I have seen around. His father was the student of shaykh ul hind (ra)] he said, a top brelvi alim wrote a letter about his aqeedah to moulana makki (db), and when he read it he was shocked to see that how much 'ilm this brelvi alim has and also is aqeedah correct according to deoband.

Also, there was actually no difference between brelvi and deobandi back then in the time of Allamah Anwar Shah kashmiri (ra), Moulana Ahmed Ali Lahori (ra) e.t.c they actually even visited brelvi ulama. It is this time that we find that there is hatred, and in the end there is no big difference but people have made a minor difference a big issue.

My friend who is studying in Moulana Tariq Jameel's Madarassa, said that he has seen brelvi , ahled hadith going in tabligh jamaat. He met and asked them certain questions about aqeedah, what I found is that they had no difference. What the problem with brelvi is that some people have not studied properly, and they end up hating but some scholars who have studied well know that there is no difference between deoband and brelvi.

I also want to say that I hate using the term brelvi and deobandi. In the end we are all the branches of ahlus sunnah wal jama'a.

============================

Today, jahilliya is wide spread. And because of this they take "pride" over "knowledge" what I mean is that people have pride that they are salafi, they are proud that they are brelvi. And if you go and start an argument with them, you will be wasting time as none will admit who is right and wrong. This also creates hatred between brothers.

It was in the time of Imam Malik (ra) and Imam Abu Hanifa (ra), when they heard a truth they accepted straight away. If you read the incident when Imam Malik (ra) met Imam Abu Hanifa (ra), and they discussed the issue of opnions in madhab. When Imam Abu Hanifa (ra) left and was asked about Imam Malik (ra), Imam Abu Hanifa (ra) said that "I have never seen someone who accepts truth so fast [i.e Imam Malik (ra)]. "

But today, there is also shaytan along with nafs who is partnering us to bombard others. Whenever you start an argument even with your blood brothers you will notice it will not end but continue, [rarely one will accept the mistake but most of the time both will try to prove themselves that they are right] shaytan fuels the heart along with nafs. And this creates hatred with no agreement between each other.

And this is where I want to say that "keep things to yourself." Speak when it is neccassary, when someone asks you about your aqeedah, just tell them you follow the maslak of Ahlus sunnah Wal Jama'a. And stay quite.

And finally find a mashaykh who you can sit under and learn some gems from them. And do zikr of Allah (swt) to become a wali inshallah.

So just keep things to yourself, do tabligh, do tazkiya and become a jannati. Hope you understand.

Jazakallah.
