English Book: Deoband to Bareilly - The Truthbefore the birth of Hazrat Maulana Okarvi given this glad tiding to Maulana Okarvi's father, Haaji Karam Ilaahi Sahib,"Karam Ilaahi! More streams of light will flow. Streams of Al-Laah's grace will flow".The world has already witnessed the phenomenon that all his life Hazrat Maulana Okarvi, who was born due to theglad tidings of a prefect saint, spread light in all directions and dispelled darkness all around. Allamah Kaukab NooraniOkarvi is the second manifestation of Hazrat Sher-e-Rabbaani's glad tidings.The silence, which had been prevailing since the passing away of Hazrat Maulana Okarvi finally, yielded to thepleasing and magical voice of Allamah Kaukab Okarvi.Allamah Kaukab started a new era in South Africa; within a few days he revived his great father's mission, renderedrevolutionary services to the cause of Islaam and to upholding the truth of the Ahle Sunnat creed. On coming here, heworked indefatigably and followed in the traditions of his revered father of remaining in the midst of people andbooks, of addressing several gatherings daily and engaging in the same devotion and contemplation, but with afreshness all it own.In five years, from 1987 to 1991, Allamah Okarvi was invited here Six times. During this period, he visited Swaziland,Botswana, Babutuswana, Mozambique, Mauritius, Re-union, and Zimbabwe etc.; authored eight books, which werealso translated into English. The series of remembrance-gatherings spread, the Sunnat of reciting Durood Shareef inmosques before and after Azaan was revived; the practice of holding Ieed-e-Meelaad-un-Nabi (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi WaSallam) in many an area of these countries was for the first time inaugurated. Branches of Maulana Okarvi AcademyAl-A'lami were established; madaaris (religious schools) were set up. Thousands of workers were trained to serve thecreed of the Ahle Sunnat, many a people embraced Islaam; and, for the first time ever, the holding of ten-dayMuharram commemorative meetings came into vogue in South Africa's Transvaal province.Allamah Okarvi has to his credit another important and memorable achievement in South Africa. On Friday, the 16thDecember, 1988, he personally went to Mia's Farm, and delivered to the leaders of the Deobandi-Wahaabi-Tableeghigroup an invitation to a Munuazirah (debate) and Mubaahilah (a meeting of contending persons or parties invokingcurses of Al-Laah on those who deny the truth). On the recognised principle of establishing the truth and exposing thefalsehood. He wanted an atmosphere of peace and amity to prevail amongst the Muslim minority population of SouthAfrica. He had brought with him a whole chest of old and new books by the 'Ulama of Deoband. So that the beliefsand the acts, about which the leaders of the Wahaabi-Tableeghi group had spread the epidemic of being calledpolytheistic and innovative, could be proved to be right according to the Qur'aan and the Sunnat through bookswritten by the 'Ulama of Deoband themselves. And thus the Muslims in this country could be rid of these controversiesand all may live in peace and amity.For three years running this invitation of Allamah Okarvi was repeatedly published in the newspaper "Sunday TimesExtra". Allamah Okarvi had set only four topics for debate, which were also conveyed to the scholars of the Deobandi-Wahaabi-Tableeghi school through. A communication besides being published in newspapers. But the self-proclaimed"right-guided" 'Ulama of the Deobandi-Wahaabi-Tableeghi school did not have the guts to face Allamah Okarvi and,so, failed to prove that they were right as they had been claiming.In August, 1991, after exhausting all arguments with them, Allamah Okarvi got his final notice published in the samenewspaper and made it clear that now people of the Deobandi-Wahaabi-Tableeghi school were confirmed hypocritesand without any foundation.The Musalmaans of South Africa will forever remember the favours done to them by Allamah Okarvi. By exposing thetrue facts about these self-proclaimed righteous people and by letting facts be known to them he saved many asimple Musalmaan from going astray.Al-Laah be praised! The very name of Allamah Kaukab Noorani Okarvi has become a symbol of the truth and a nakedsword for every falsehood throughout South Africa. May the Almighty Al-Laah preserve the determination and thesteadfastness of this true lover of His beloved Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam), and may He make him a greatand benefiting asset for the Islamic Millat!
