Islam's Reformers .pdf

Jam’at at-tablîgh show that uttering ‘Lâ ilâha ill-AllahMuhammadun Rasûlullah’ is the only condition necessary foradmission to this group. Any person, whether he belongs to aheretical group or disobey everybody except Rasûlullah,immediately becomes a member of this group upon thisutterance, even if he would disobey as-Sahâba and mujtahids.People representing Qâdiânism, Nîjarî, Wahhâbism,Mawdûdism and various non-Muslim movements are witnessedto belong to this jamâ’a. What else would it be if this behaviourof theirs isn’t a proof of their intention to disunite the Umma?“Do they correct the heretics after accepting them into theirgroup? The opposite of this is seen in their books andbehaviour. They prohibit speaking on the madhhabs. They givefreedom to everybody in his beliefs. On the 16th page of Dustûral-’amal, it is written, ‘Disunionist, unnecessary subjects shouldnot be spoken on. The essence of tawhid and fundamental ofIslam shall be studied.’ The same is written on page 218 ofMiftâh at-tablîgh.

If we do so, there will arousesedition in hearts and suspicions in minds.’ He says on the142nd page of Makâtîb, ‘Sometimes you use the word bid’a.Do not utter such words! Such words cause disunion amongpeople.’“In conclusion, they do not have the Ahl as-Sunna faith. Allof the seventy-three groups may come together among themfreely; moreover, non-Muslims, too, may join them. They do notdeal with the knowledge of faith; they even prohibit learning it.They say that they follow only the Prophet. They do not studythe single right path which was stated in the hadîth. They saythat it will cause disunion if studied. They do not use the word‘bid’a’ or similar ones, which, they claim, cause sedition.Despite all these heretical behaviours, they claim to belong toAhl as-Sunnat wa ’l-Jamâ’a. However, in view of the followers ofthis path of truth, there is no doubt about their heresy.“The ’ulamâ’ of Islam prohibited Muslims from friendship withmen of bid’a. Hadrat Qutb al-aqtâb ’Abd al-Qâdir al-Jilânî saidthat it was much reward-deserving (thawâb) to believe that themadhhab of people of bid’a was corrupt, and not to follow themand to bear hostility against them.
