Difference Between Sunni and Wahabi
Sunni vs Wahabi
The major difference between Sunni and Wahabi is the beliefs and rituals. Sunnis are in majority and almost 90% percent of Muslims around the world belong to Sunni sect whereas the members of Wahabi movement are located in Saudi Arab. There are a few main and major as well as many secondary differences between the Sunni and Wahabi Muslims which caused these sects to be cut off from each other and emerge independently.
The major difference between them is that Wahabis believe that Prophet Muhammad should be praised only as a human being whereas Sunnis show extra special care and respect towards the Prophet of Islam.
Sunni Muslims celebrate the birthday of the Holy Prophet and arrange Meelaad. Meelaad is a form of gathering in which the Sunni Muslims get together and praise the Holy Prophet. The birthdays of Sufi saints are also celebrated with much dedication and enthusiasm. The day of their deaths are commemorated in the form of Urs. Wahabi Muslims do not believe in celebrating and practicing all these events which are very strongly rooted in Islam. Wahabis call these practices of events as unlawful and wrongful innovations. Wahabis also believe that this is as close as to shirk or polytheism and Sunnis follow the ways of infidel Hindus.
Sunni Muslims believe that Prophet Muhammad is Nur and still present in this world. Whereas Wahabis do not believe in using pious individuals as intermediaries when asking Allah as they consider it shirk or polytheism. Sunnis believe in the saints and mysticism whereas Wahabis do not believe in mysticism, intercession and prostration as well. Sunni Muslims visit the tombs of the saints and perform tawassul for the blessings of Allah whereas it is the greatest sin for a Wahabi.
Sunni Muslims believe in four imams of fiqah or Islamic laws such as Hanfi, Hanbli, Malakii and Shaafeyii whereas Wahabi does not follow an Iman in Fiqh. Wahabi Muslims are a group of fundamentalists and have an orthodox version Islam. Wahabis in Saudi Arab do not allow their females to work side by side with their men and they also are not allowed to drive a car. The women are treated as third rate citizens and they are bound to wear a long abayaa or garment to cover them from head to toe. Sunni Muslims are moderate and believe in the equality of women as suggested by Islam.
There are many differences present in their rituals of praying, marriage ceremonies, dresses etc. Wahabi Muslims have separate mosques and schools. Wahabi Muslims are followers of Mohammed ibn Abdul Wahab in the 18th century in Arabia, and his movement came up against a lot of opposition from the Indians Sunni Muslims. Members of the Wahab movement in Saudi Arabia believe their role as a restorer or reformer to free Islam from negative deviances, heresies, innovations, superstitions and idolatries. Wahabis prefer to eliminate music and listening to songs. They are against watching television and drawings of living things which contain a soul.
Summary
1. Wahabi Muslims are followers of Muhammad ibne Abdul wahab present in the 18th century in Saudi Arabia whereas Sunni Muslims are followers of Prophet Muhammad and his companions.

wahabis the deviant sect believes Muhammad Sallalahoalaihewasallam does not have the knowledge of Unseen… I want to ask these idiots do you have the knowledge of Unseen.. I believe Yes because I have .. I know there is ALLAH but i have never seen… this is knowledge of Unseen ..who gave me this Knowledge …our Prophet Muhammad Sallalhoalaihewasallam and to all muslims.. If i have the knowledge of Unseen being a simple human being.. how can u say the most beloved of ALLAH Prophet Muhammad sallalhoalaihewasallam does not have a knowledge of Unseen ..Ofcourse Muhammad sallallahoalaihewasalam have the knowledge of Unseen and this knowledge is given to him by ALLAH..
Its obvious from the afore-mentioned differences that the author is 100% a non-muslim.Because his perception of sunni ways are full of falsity.i am an indian,a muslim a believer in sunna ways.And i dont think those(mentioned points) are my beliefs.AND it might taste bitter to some of u,but the truth is
(1)Never has the Prophet mentioned of celebrating his birthday or mourning his death to any of his companions,then who the hell are we to introduce this and that too centuries later.were it valid,it would have been done right after the passing away of the prophet(s.w.s).Are we more purer and more rightful muslims than those who shared meals,mat,battles,scorching heat with the Prophet.???(or maybe some of u are!!!lolz)
(2) and i didnt hear or read any hadith saying the prophet mentioning his grave to be raised above ground to show respect.YES,he is a human,a prophet but that shouldnt mean we cross our limits.AND THOSE PURE SOULS(THE peers,saints) would be really hurt seeing the condition of their graves,as in india,if they were allowed.DID at least those saints say at any moment that their graves be raised??ITS ALL OUR INVENTION.and The indian culture is playing fuel to fire.
…..read more if u can….
3.believing that wearing a charm or a “taweez” will cure us,beliefs like so are “shirk” itself in sunni way.THE prophet didnt allow this and clearly asked us to condone such as evident from the hadith and qur’an.I am sorry to say but this also is a contribution from the ancient indian culture.i ask u all “PLEASE REMOVE SUCH TALISMANS OR THERE IS A LOT PAIN AWAITIN US IN HELL”
4.I read and saw and even heard from people that bowing befor the “Mazar” of pir-sahabs is a common thing here in india,as evident from dargah of Nizamuddin awlia,moinuddin chisti(p.b.u.t.a).THIS IS PURE SHIRK.Bowing was made unlawful long long ago before even the advent of Muhammad(s.w.s) and we indians are proud to bow down before the resting places of our saints.
5.i hav read the comments above and saw many places people saying “LANAT TO ALL WAHABIS”.MIND u brothers,wahabis hav read the kalima,they are muslims,and saying this to muslims are unlawful.so be careful.
THE REST OF ALL POINTS ARE SOCIAL,NOT RELIGIOUS.MAY ALLAH Have Mercy on all of us.
we have no right to blame any one……. every one is right in their own way.
But Allah knows who is right or who is wrong. its none of our business. we should perform our prayers on time with honestly. Allah will reward us if we are right……..i am also sunni muslim but.. first of all i am muslim.
Dear brothers and sisters pl pl dont write absurd without evidences. I am a student of Knowledge Alhamdulillah, and I am certain that all the text written above about sunni is wrong( I myself being a sunni). The wahabi movement actually revived Islam though they may have some shortfalls.
Pl note – grave worship is forbidden, seeking intercession frm dead is forbidden – all these infact lead to shirk. Sunnis never believe that pr (s)is alive. As for songs and music, it is definitely prohibited as stated in many many sahih hadiths and in Quran – All intoxicants are haraam. If u think with open mind music is a kind of intoxicant which directly leads us to evil and thus haraam. All the points mentioned above abt wahabis are correct and truly islamic which even most of pious muslim across the globe follw.
Pl label urselves as – PRACTICING MUSLIMS and not acc to sects – sunni, shia, hanafi, maliki, etc,etc. Infact all of us believe in 1 God and obey our prophet.
I humbly request the authority concerned to remove this absurd article.
It is infact Maligning Islam.
The brother or sister whoever has written this has no knowledge at all.
May Allah guide him/her to truth.
You sunnis have changed the religion Islam,and alhamdulillah It has changed only in Bangladesh,Pakistan,and India.
And not in other countries.
If you ask me:Do you believe in KGN?
I will answer you:No,but I know him.
Do you Sunnis(Religion Changers) read Quran with its full translation?
Ans:NO!..
There is an ayah which if you all will check with its translation in our Quran,there is high possibilty of you all changing from sunnis(Religion Changer) to Muslims:
Alaa Lillahil lazinul khalis,wal lazinattakhazu min dunih,Awliyaaa a ma na’budu hum Illa liyukarribona ilallahi zulfaa innallaha yahkumu bainahum fi mahum fihi yakhatalifoon,innallaha la yahdi man huwa kaazibun kaffar.
[(Az-Zumar)Surah-39 Aayat 3]
TRANSLATION
Surely the religion (i.e the worship and the obedience) is for Allah only.And those who take Auliya'(Protectors ,Helpers,lords,gods) Besides Him (say):”We worship them only that they may bring us near to Allah”.
Verily,Allah will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ.Truly,Allah guides not him who is a liar,and a disbeliever.
Whats truth?
I m not telling you wrong.
You all know that in Saudi Arabia,Mohammed SA was born in Saudi Arabia Allah’s House is there,And alll of you sunnis(Religion changers) go there and touches your clothes or your money to the wall of Roza Mubarak,and you all sunnis(relligion changers) believe that it(the things that sunnis(religion changers)For example:Money,clothes,etc) will become noor.You all are polytheists so we tell you all.You all are the disbelievers.
Once I had a friend,he was also sunni(Religion Changer).I told him to see the verse that I have Mention.He ignored me.Then I show that verse with the meaning,He read that verse like this:Sladkalans gakfunufku…….
So tell me why you sunnis(Religion Changers)Ignored it.Your Babas told you all.
Why do you sunnis(Religion Changers)Go to the graves of your elders or other Wali Allah and invoke from them?
Ans:You all sunnis(Religion Changers)tell that the best way to do dua and to be the nearest to Allah is to be near his dead slaves.There is also a verse relating that you cannot tell them to listen.Eventuallly,they dont e en listen your one word as they are dead.Because of the dead person’s soul is near to Allah ask them (wali Allah)to invoke for you from allah.Really you are the duffers.The best way to be the most nearest to Allah is to be in a masjid,invoke from Allah in masjid,as masjid is known as baitul-Allah(House of Allah).I had been for Umrah,there I saw none of the malaysians,Indonesnians,Egyptians,etc.Pray to Allah in the you all sunnis(Religion Changers) pray.
I am sure that you have counted the times,that I wrote ‘sunnis(Religion Changers)’ inthis comment.
Well you are the Religion Changers.
Shut up.
Sunnis has not changed anything. Only Abdul Wahab Najdi who was found and prepared by British Colonial Spy Humphrey and appointed him in Najd to preach the faulty material to portray the wrong picture of Islam. You can find the book ” Humphrey’s admissions ” which is actual a report prepared by this person in which he disclosed the whole story of finding and preparing this Abdul Wahab during his mission entrusted to him by his government to do so.
Well Shariq,
You(Shariq:Sunni(Religion Changer)) are most biggest insane,stupid,idiot person who tells that we Wahhabis do not believe that Mohammed SA HAVE THE KNOW OF UNSEEN.Well,who told you that?Sunnis(Religion Changers) or we wahhabis.
Ans:none.
Hi,
I had been reading this whole page,full of stupid like comments,except Furqaan,who told us the truth.As I am also sunni,I thought of taking action against him,but I became curious to see the translation of the verse:
Alaa Lillahil lazinul khalis,wal lazinattakhazu min dunih,Awliyaaa a ma na’budu hum Illa liyukarribona ilallahi zulfaa innallaha yahkumu bainahum fi mahum fihi yakhatalifoon,innallaha la yahdi man huwa kaazibun kaffar.
[(Az-Zumar)Surah-39 Aayat 3]

Surely the religion (i.e the worship and the obedience) is for Allah only.And those who take Auliya'(Protectors ,Helpers,lords,gods) Besides Him (say):”We worship them only that they may bring us near to Allah”.
Verily,Allah will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ.Truly,Allah guides not him who is a liar,and a disbeliever.
And from now I am a true believer.
Well, I’m quite glad that someone ended this mess. I’m a young Sunni too, who is often opposed by her friends for being a Sunni muslim. I don’t understand though. Anyway, my uncle went to meet Sheikh Yacoubi, the apparent direct descendent of Hazrat Muhammed Mustafa (SAW) and the Sheikh (apparently) was totally different to what my uncle had expected. I hate the American government for what they’ve done and been doing to sister Aafia Siddiqui. I sometimes cry on hearing her name, but try to contain myself. I’m quite an emotional person. When I’m older, Insha’allah azawwajal, I will put up a HUGE campagn for freedom of sister Aafia Siddiqui. I saw a Wali on Noor TV, and the Wali, 20 years back predicted that there would be a war in Afghanistan and the Egypt and Syrian crisis would soon be coming on its way. I was shocked. Allah has gifted his Wali’s in such excellent way! However, the Wali mentioned that there would be war and hate against Muslims and Americans. War and hate. And also that the Americans where trying to aim to stop the core of the earth and get it spinning the other way round. Why? Well, I’ll tell you VERY briefly why. It’s because they want to wreck the world. Yes, you heard me. But why? Only the Wali could have answered that, but I shortly left after watching the bit of that programme, as I had to urgently get somewhere. Don’t you think that Americans are trying to brainwash to-day’s young people with all that ‘Rihanna’, ‘R’N’B’ and music and film crap, like Armageddon? They’re trying to prepare us to be on our enemy’s side, up until Imam Mehdi comes. Then there will be the 3 kafir and the 3 Muslim suvivors. Why don’t you try to watch Asaar-E-Qiyamaat on ARY? Or just wait and see? Zaahra Manshaa. Email kawaii_san@kuririnmail.com
BTW (by the way) these are only just my notes.
I just have to say im not SUNNI nor WAHABI. Im just someone who believes in one God and that Muhammad peace be upon Him is his final prophet. God bless you all!
So in this sense Im should be called simply a “Muslim”
In the name of Allah most gracious most merciful
Firstly there are quite a few mistakes and misconceptions in this post. To make this comment short I will focus on the summary and explain the wrong claims and confirm what was correct. I am not a Wahaabi nor do I agree with everything they absolutely do or say. Also If you read about MIAW and comprare him to what the Wahaabi’s of today do you will see some differences. Don’t judge a group based on what some ignorant people want you to believe do the research yourself.
Let me guess the person who wrote this post has never actually spoken to a so called “Wahaabi”. Because clearly you don’t understand what these people in Saudi actually believe or follow. You make general claims that most ignorant people make.
Take for example your summary
1. Wahabi Muslims are followers of Muhammad ibne Abdul wahab present in the 18th century in Saudi Arabia whereas Sunni Muslims are followers of Prophet Muhammad and his companions.
— This is completely wrong. “Wahaabi’s” are closer followers of the prophet and his companions than most sunni or sufi Muslims today. Yes they respect MIAW as a great leader who brought the people back closer to the correct Islam but they follow the Prophet pbuh. What MIAW did was to destroy the deviances that the Muslims where practicing like worshiping the graves and unite the already separated schools of thought (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafii, Hambali) under Islam. Previously these groups would not marry from each other or pray behind each other etc. These are just some examples of the things that MIAW did.
2. Sunni Muslims believe in intercession and mysticism whereas Wahabis call them as deviants and wrongful innovations in Islam.
— Not all Sunni muslims believe this. Some Sufis yes and they are deviants because this was never a practice of the Prophet or his companions. The only intercession is that on the Day of Judgment by the prophets for their people. Anyone who claims a dead or living person can intercede for you has clearly associated partners with Allah, for Allah says in the Quran for his servants to turn to Him directly when they want something.
3. Sunni Muslims strictly follow one of the four schools of thoughts or madhabs of fiqah or Islamic jurisprudence whereas Wahabis follow their sheikh.
— Again wrong. Wahaabis follow the Hambali school of thought which is one of the four. Actually the schools of thought are there to make things simpler for the people and are all not accurate in some of their rulings and should not be followed blindly. Ultimately by following the schools of thought we are following the prophet however we must be mindful that they are the work of humans who make mistakes and through statements from their own mouths such as Shaafii, Abu Haneefah “If you find a more correct hadith then that is their madhab (school of thought)” because they new they didn’t have every hadeeth or even authentic hadeeth. They worked with what they had and where very weary of everthing that some times they did not rule on certain topics. Most their students studied under multiple mdhabs, and even change upto 2/3 of their rulings in the case of the Hanafi madhab.
4. Wahabis do not observe annual Sufi festivals, events or the birthday of Prophet Muhammad.
— Neither did the prophet or his companions or the next two generations that followed. If anyone should have observed these it would have been the companions of the prophet for they clearly loved him more than we do. We only love ourselves and our desires. Anyone who claims they love the prophet and that is why they celebrate is a lier. They want to gather and dance and sing and have food and say it is for the prophet. If you love him then study his life and correct yours according to his.
5. Sunni Muslims wear charms and believe in healing powers unlike Wahabi beliefs like visiting tombs or shrines of saints.
— Not all sunnis where charms. The prophet clearly hated charms as can be some of the hadeeth narrated about him. Once he refused to take allegiance from one of the men in a group because he was wearing a charm. Once the man found out he took it off and came and gave allegiance and the prophet accepted. The wahaabis to not visit tombs and shrines of saints. In fact they are the ones who stopped these practices of the deviant sufis. The wahaabis encourage unmarked graves as can be seen in many cemeteries throughout Saudi Arabia.
The Wahabi pick and choose parts of the Qur’an and Hadith that fit there ideology. Their “founder” Muhammad Ibn Al-Wahab, based most of his teachings off of Ibn Tayymiyah, the reformer. “Sheikh Al-Islam” Ibn Tayymiyah himself said he succeeded Sufi Saint Abdul Qadir Al-Jilani, yet claims to be Anti-Sufi. What a hypocrite! If you’re a Wahabi and claim to follow Ibn Wahab and Ibn Tayymiyah, then you’re just as Sufi as me, unless you reject all of their teachings of course!
Intercession: The Prophet(PBUH) himself will intercede for the entire Muslim ummah, according to Sahih Hadith, on Yom Al-Qiyammah. If you reject that in this world, nothing can save you from hell fire. YA ALLAH, YA MUHAMMAD go together bro. Look at the Kalima, their’s no WA(and) in LaIlahaIlAllah+MuhammadArRasoolAllah.
Is the Prophet(pbuh) alive? The Qur’an says that Allah provides for the Martyrs(Shaheed) so it is haram to call them dead, but we can’t understand it. If that is the rank of the Shaheed, what is the rank of the Wali’s, the Sahaba, and the Prophet(pbuh)! There is even Sahih Hadith about the Prophet(pbuh) seeing Musa(pbuh) PRAYING in his grave! In the 1920′s the king of Iraq dug up the graves of 2 sahabah because they told him in his dreams that the river was entering their graves. After they were dug up, a doctor examined the bodies and they was virtually intact! They were buried in Hejaz during Hajj.
Tombs: I don’t even know how to begin on the atrocities that have befallen the tombs of the Ahl al-Bayt, Sahaba, and Awliya. Ever since the Wahabi Saud’s came into power in the 1920′s, graves have been replaced with bathrooms, and houses completely demolished. If you have the balls to do this to the graves of Sahaba like Salman Al-Farsi, why can’t you do it to Masid An-Nabbawi, which contains the “tombs” of the Prophet(pbuh), Abu Bakr, and Omar(ra). Oh wait, I forgot, apparently “grave-worship” is permissible there right. Just shows you how hypocritical these Wahabi’s are.
As salaamu alaikum warehamt Allah…please do not fight and bring dispute amongst our muslim brotherhood …if ALLAH wish we all will be guided to right path.
Assalamu’alaikum..
Dear brothers & sisters..I am seeing a lot of mud-slinging here & I am really disgusted and tired of it.
There are some so called Muslims accusing others of being “wahabi” while proclaiming themselves as slaves of Allah.This is absolutely ridiculous on any perspective.The fact that should be kept in mind while branding anyone as “wahabi” is that Wahab is the name of Allah(glory be with him),So,calling anyone a “wahabi” is a massive disrespect to the name of Allah.
The fact was that a Islamic scholar by the name of Muhammad Ibn’ Abdul Wahab(Allah be pleased with him) had revived certain practices of our beloved prophet which also included admonishing of paganistic practices of some Muslims at that time and he was also successful.Paganistic practices included raising of the graves and praying there which our prophet had overwhelmingly prohibited(which is still carried out in the name of Waseela in the Indian subcontinent).Then some Kuffars called whoever supported his revival as wahabis.Now,certain “muslims”(read as hypocrites) who perform this ridiculous and paganistic worshipping of graves call other muslims(somewhere closer to the true aqeeda of our beloved prophet) as “wahabis”.Well,we all know Kuffars in any way have to taste the rigorous punishment of the hellfire,so,why should we imitate them and taste the same?More so since,We Muslims are meant for the Jannah and Allah gave us our prophet as a perfect example to follow.
Jazakallahu Khair

This hadith sharif clearly differentiated between sunni and wahabi . wahabbie do not fallow hanbali medhab they only claim to follow in reality they like to follow as they like that is what gave wahabies power because now they can interrupt Islam as they like. Hudhaifa i.e. Ibn al Yaman (ra) said that the Prophet (saw) said: Verily, I fear about a man from you who will read the Qur’an so much that his face will become enlightened and he will come to personify Islam. This will continue until Allah desires. Then these things will be taken away from him when he will disregard them by putting them all behind his back and will attack his neighbor with the sword accusing him of Shirk. The Prophet was asked – which of the two will be deserving of such an accusation? – The attacker or the attacked? The Prophet replied – the attacker (the one accusing the other of Shirk)

to Muhammad Abdullah. 1. miaw can not trace his believes all the way back to the prophet peace be upon him or companions. only people ever heald those in history of Islam where khawarij who originated from same region of najd whose capital is Riyadh. clearly you are misguided one the four medhab ar ahle sunna wal jammat and are under islam. you are so not. so was not miaw under Islam. sertainly praying behind imams of kabba and masjide nabi is not accepted of them being wahabie a newly invented group. 2. And when it is said to them, “Come, the Messenger of Allah will pray for your forgiveness”, they turn aside their heads, and thou wouldst see them turning away their faces in arrogance. (63:5) also hadith i posted above is answer. 3. may be you should listen again to wahabies or read they clearly do not follow hanbali medhab becouse they say we follow miaw or say we follow quran and sunna or we follow authentic hadith only or we follow quran only becouse it is word of allah. as if their is competition among them to decide which is more to follow. you still have to decide how to pray because you need profe from quran and sunna so you mix up how ladies pray with men and alot more issues. four ahle sunna medahabs dealt that issue centuries ago while you people still debating without reasoning making confusion. such ignorance from you saying they did not had hadith while they learned directly from companions and 2 generation (Tabeen) and third generation (taba tabeen). astagfrullah. 4. of course because wahabies do not accept quran and hadith from which sufi Muslims give profs that these were celebrated by prophet and his companions. it is easy to say their is no prof while ahle sunnat scholars wrote numrous books about them giving profe from quran and hadith. and their is consenses of four medhab upon those events while wahabies claim their is no evidance of it and that is consenses how ever great ulma from four medhab wrote in favor of those even that is what is called consensus not your empty claims. 5. certainly wahhabies do not believe quran is source of healing so they reject sufi practices because they involve verses of quran. that is proven from quran and hadith. seem wahabies never read the biography of prophet peace be upon him that why they call it charms as if it where involved magic making it seem suspicious. the ambulate sunni Muslims wear have verses of quran in them. also seem the hadith you mention the Arab bedoin must have been not Muslims so if he were wearing something that does not make it applie that hadith to ahle sunnat practice. this is practice of wahabbies they pic verses revealed about kuffar and label them upon Muslims. look at madina and look at those saints. their follower are true ahle sunnat while you and wahabies are not ahle sunnat.
visiting graves shirk? where did you get it from certainly not ahle sunnat. Translation of Hadith: It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Abdullah (May Allah be well pleased with him) that once Hadhrat Aisha Siddiqua (May Allah be well pleased with her) was coming back from a graveyard. I asked her: O mother of the believers! Where are you returning from? She said: From the grave of my brother Abdur Rahman Bin Abu Bakr (May Allah be well pleased with him). I asked: Didn’t the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) prohibit visiting graves? She said: The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) had prohibited, but later ordered it. (Mustadrak ‘Alas Saihain, Vol. 1, Pg. No. 533, Hadith No. 1341)
this is called ijma(Consensus) of ahle sunnat. all four medhab ulma are in favor of movlid. this is example of wahabi ignorance that their is no evidence so it is consensus.

There is no sects in Islam… My dear brothers and sister do not argue with one another… We all are muslims, Obey Allah and ask for guidance…
This is prophecy of Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) that there will be 73 sects in religion but he never says that we should make sects.
But fact is that today we have may sects in islam and every sect says that they are true followers of ISLAM. But Prophet Muhammed said that the only one sect will be on right way, one of the Sahaba asked that which one will be on the right path?
Prophet Muhammed replied that the one who will be follow QURAN AND SUNNAH.
Now every one says we follow the Quran and Sunnah and we are on right path.
So to recognize which group or sect is on real path of Quran and Sunnah is very difficult.
keun key ab har koi khud ko sahih raastey par batata hai aur khud ko behtar sect batata hai. saarey lambi chouri beard aur topi aur tarah tarah key rang birangey kurtey pejamey pahan kar musalman honey ka dawa kartey hain. ek aam musalman ko tou pahchanna bahut muskil hai .
aur ab tou ye bhi trend hai key ek hadith batao tou us hadith ko sunney aur samajhney key badley log defend mei dusri hadith laatey hain.
agar koi Quran ki verse dekhao tou uskey badley dusri ayat pesh kartey hain.
aj ka jo wakt hai vo ab hak aur sach ko kabool karney ka nahi hai bal key apney baatil ko defend karney ka hai.
Aj bada ajeeb manzar hai dunia ka har insan pareshan hai apney akidey ko propagate karney mei aur usey defend karney mei.
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu): “The Messenger of Allah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said: ‘The Jews separated into 71 sects, and the Christians into 72, and my nation will divide into 73 sects, and only one sect will be go to jannah'” (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah)
And prophet Muhammed further clarifies that the group who will follow the way of QURAN and authentic Hadith will go to jannah.
There are also hadith which say out of every 100 muslims 99 will go to hell.-Sahih Bukhari 8: 76: 536.
.
Now ab dekhney wali baat ye hai key abhi duniya mei bahut saary sects moujood hain aur har sect apney aapko Ahle sunnat kahta hai, sab apney aapko Quran and Hadith key bataye huye raastey par chalney wala batata hai. Sab apney apney akidey ko durust batata hai. Ab tou haal ye hai key ek ignorant musalman key liye ye pahchanna bahut mushkil hai key koun sahih akidey par hai aur koun galat akidey par hai. Vo bechara jisko topi aur kurta pahney huye dekhta hai usi key pichey bhaagney lagta hai.
Aj islam aam musalmano sey door kar diya geya hai, aj Quran aur Hadith ko aam musalmano key pahunch sey door kar diya geya hai. Us becharey ko tou pata hi nahi key uskey saath keya ho raha hai.
Aj ummat jo sabsey zada kisi chiz sey pareshan hai tou vo hai shirk and biddat
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “O people, beware of this shirk, for it is more subtle than the footsteps of an ant. The one whom Allaah willed should speak said to him, “How can we beware of it when it is more subtle than the footsteps of an ant, O Messenger of Allaah?” He said, “Say, Allaahumma innaa na’oodhu bika min an nushrika bika shay’an na’lamuhu wa nastaghfiruka limaa laa na’lam (O Allaah, we seek refuge with You from knowingly associating anything with You, and we seek Your forgiveness for that which we do unknowingly).” (Narrated by Ahmad, 4/403)
The Noble Prophet Muhammad SAW said:
“Ash-Shirk-al-Khafi in the Muslim nation is more inconspicuous than the creeping of black ant on black rock in the pitch-darkness of the night.” And this inconspicuous Shirk is expiated by saying thrice the following sentences within a day and a night: “O Allah! I take Your refuge from that I should ascribe anything as partner in Your worship, being conscious of that, and I beg Your pardon for that sin which I am not aware of.”
There are many hadiths and verses in Quran which forbade ummat to involve in shirk but unfortunately now the major part of ummat is involved in shirk.
The islam which was revealed by Allah has pushed away and now only khankahi and chistia and peerparasti islam exist.
Major part of the islam knowingly and unknowingly involved in shirk and biddat. Ye vo log hain jo beard bhir rakhtey hain topi bhi pahantey hain, surma bhi lagatey hain but inka akidah islam sey nahi milta.
Ye islam key naam par awaz tou uthatey hain but chunki inka akidah baatil hai isliye success nahi milti hai.
Aur sabsey badi baat ye key agar koi iskey khilaf bolta hai tou log usey gaaliyan detey hain, wahabi kahney lagtey hain aur ye sirf aaj key zamaney mei nahi bal key har dour mei hua hai. Jab jab hak batil ko mitaney aya hai tab logon ney usey gaaliyan di hain.
When Shaykh Muhammad bin Abd al-Wahhaab began calling to the pure monotheism of the Prophets and Messengers and inviting the people to ask for intercession only from Allaah, the Exalted, as He is its sole owner, the elites began to divert the common-folk away from him and his call by intellectualterrorism, by spreading lies to the people that he (and those with him) reject the intercession of the Prophets and the Awliyaa. Shaykh Abd Allaah bin Muhammad bin Abd al-Wahhaab stated in a treatise he wrote after 1218H as occurs in al-Durar al-Saniyyah (1/231):
And we affirm the intercession for our Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) on the Day of Judgement, in accordance with what has been narrated. Likewise we affirm it for all of the Prophets, the Angels, the Awliyaa (pious friends of Allaah), and [likewise], children, in accordance with what has been narrated as well. But we ask it from its Master, Owner (al-Maalik), and permission for it (to be solicited) is for whomever He wills from the monotheists, those who are the most pleasing of people (deserving it), as has been narrated, in that one of us says, in humility to Allaah, “O Allaah, grant intercession to our Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) for us on the Day of Judgement”, or “O Allaah, grant intercession to your righteous servants or the Angels for us…” and what is similar to that, from what is requested from Allaah, but not from them. So it is not said, “O Messenger of Allaah (or) O wali of Allaah, I ask intercession from you…” or other such (requests) such as “Reach me (to aid me) or “Rescue me” or “Heal me”, or “Aid me against my enemy” and what is similar to that, from those affairs in which none has power over except Allaah, the Exalted. When he requests any of that which has just been mentioned (from those in the life) of al-Barzakh, it is from the types of Shirk, since no text has been related from the Book or the Sunnah (for this practice), and nor any narration from the Rigteous Salaf regarding it…
When Shaykh Muhammad bin Abd al-Wahhaab began to invite the people to invoke only Allaah in matters of attaining benefit and repelling harm, instead of the righteous dead, one of the rumours and slanders spread was that they, the ‘Wahhabis,’ reject the Awliyaa and deny their miracles. This was part of the general agenda of intellectual terrorism aimed at silencing the da’wah of Muhammad bin Abd al-Wahhaab and those with him and to drive the people away from what is agreeable and accetable to their fitrah. Shaykh Abd Allaah bin Muhammad bin Abd al-Wahhaab stated in a treatise he wrote after 1218H as occurs in al-Durar al-Saniyyah (1/241):
And we do not rejet the karaamaat (miracles) of the awliyaa (righteous friends of Allaah). We acknowledge them as true annd that they (the awliyaa) are upon guidance from their Lord so long as they traversed upon the Sharee’ah and the observed principles, except that (we say) they do not deserve anything from the types of worship, neither whilst alive nor after death. Rather, supplication is requested from one of them whilst he is alive, in fact, from every Muslim for there has come in the hadeeth, “The supplication of a Muslim man for his brother is answered…” to the end of the hadeethh. And the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) ordered Umar and Ali to ask Uways to ask for forgiveness for them, and they did so.
Notes
The Shaykh of the da’wah, Muhammad bin Abd al-Wahhaab, his associates and offspring, all follow the doctrine of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah towards the Awliyaa and their miracles, except that they do not allow the directing of worship to anyone from the creation. But when this call threatened the interests of the elites, they embarked upon a propaganda campaign and used intellectual terrorism upon the masses to divert them from the da’wah. What we see in the actual writings, letters and correspondences of the leaders of the monotheistic reform movement is in stark contrast to the dark propaganda in the books of the Sufis, Rafidis, Nusayri Baatinees and others.

check your books,,,,, its said that it is allowed to sodomise boys who have as yet not got facial hair,,, this is the disgusting humbug stuff that you have in your so called ketabe sitta which you consider sahi,,,
As Salaam Aleikum Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
Please dont dispute, we all are One ummah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad sal lal laahu alayhi wa sallam.
Coming to this article, I am sure its not posted by any sunni or wahabi, its written by some enemy of Islam or a person with insufficent knowledge of the way of life in Islam.
The only guidance for all of us is the last and final revelation Holy Quran and Authentic Hadith of our Prophet Muhammad sal lal laahu alayhi wa sallam.
Read, understand, practice, and convey the guidance to all mankind.
May Allah unite us…Ameen.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH NOOR
Very well written by Noor. Concise but to the point.
Allah Jalla Shanahu bless all of us.
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN SUNNI AND WAHABIS AT ALL .
are you joking,, are sunnis allowed to eat the heart of human beings as do the taakfiri wahhabis do in syria,, are sunnis allowed too rape women as the takfiris do all over afghanistan, pakistan,syria , libya , tunisa
do sunnis slit the throths of 4 and 5 year old kids as the wahabi takfiris do in afgahnistan ,iraq and syria ,, well if sunnis and wahabis are one,, i distance myself from such a religion of satan worshipping cannibals and barbarians
Hi
Look thr are crooks in every religion !
Example cristainity in its pure form doesnt allow sex and alcohol . Where as cristans do ! And matter of fact america is the first in list in rape .
Second hindus ?
Thy burn the woman alive if her husband dies ! And they worship 100 gods of there own made!
Wahabi and sunni has no difference !
Both belive in Allah and The last Prophet !
And guess what we belive in All Prophets !!!!! As there massage was Allah is one.
I strongly condemn one who defrentiate between sunmi and wehabi .
Example is women are not allowed to work where men work !!!! It can happen in extreme condition of poorty or needy !
And woman shd be covered atleast whole body except face and hands . Mormens in christianity also do.
Brother if u close ur eyes u wont see any thing but if u open it u will see and learn everyhting. Thats the way to live in this world.
Without facts judging anyone or any religion is strongly condemned and we as muslim we respect every religion and owes respect from other religion 🙂
May Allah show u right path
well if you say there are bad elements in all religions agreed ,,but these are fatawas given and justified by salafi wahabi nassibi muftis sitting in arabia and qatar and egypt,,
then y the so called reformers of islam ‘wahabbis” call the rest of people dis believers !!! have u ever tried to understand this grand corruption !!!
The post is not correct. Except Shia sect,We all are Sunni. The post is made and posted by some anti Islamic agent.
Who is to judge that they are authentic???
Then there’s Saudi Arabia. Where vicious intolerance is concerned the Saudi Wahhabi are world leaders and Wahhabi doctrine and practice, endlessly financed and promoted, is at the heart of the Takfiri sense of a God-given right to kill anybody they like.
RIGHT YAARR
Clearly the writer of the article is ignorant,biased and very offensive. My 4 year old nephew could have done a better job. Milad?? Can you tell me where it says that the birth of the prophet (s.a.w), should be celebrated in such a fashion where enormous amounts of foods are shovelled down your throats, when that same food could go to a homeless muslim abroad. The prophet(s.a.w) was born around the same time that he died, infact the exact date is not even known. I disagree with all of these “parties” which you call milad and i am entitled to that view, thankyou please
I think you are ignorant and yes you are entitled to your veiw even though its wrong we sunni s give as much as we can to charity on top of celebrating the birthday of the prophet mohammed s.a.w and where does it say you should follow abdul wahab before the sunna of the prophet s.a.w
i think you should go to a sunni scholar and learn about islam then maybe you can comment on what we do and what is right and wrong .
may allah keep you on the right path
Where does it say in the Quraan or sunnah that the prophet or his companions or those who followed them or those who followed the followers that they celebrated the prophets birthday? I think it is you who is ignorant.
there is difference b/w milaad and birth day of holy prophet SAW.we r ignorant of the birthday ritual not milaad.milaad is celebrated by saba ikram not birth day.sory to say only 1% people cmented truth on this web page.very sad
Obviously Saf has been to a Sunni scholar or is at least striving upon Sunnah and you haven’t Mr Zaki, calling someone ignorant who is following the Prophet, sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam and his Companions, May Allah be please with them all, is calling them ignorant also. Watch your words and stop hanging around Shi’ahs or Hindus or Christians or whoever you get these stupid ideas from, they surely do NOT come from Islam.
I agree with you bro,
CC: To other wahabis, check on google who was Osma bin laden . A hero of of wahabism.
the problem with these nassibi wahhabi salafis is that they think they know everything and nobody else knows anything thing,, they think they are the only muslims ( which by their actions prove they are not), they belive they should persecute and kill any one who does not subscribe to their British thought abdul wahhab idelogy.
they have been the bigges terrorist after the bani ummaiya aand definitely the biggest criminals after 1924 usurping of Arabia and naming it after the criminal jews al saud of najd, they have destroyed all islaamic historic sites,when they have no right to do so as they are not the owners of Arabia , THEY ARE THE PERFECT SLAVES OF THE ZIONIST AND IMPERIALIST.
am totally agree wth saf and it’s the real truth.thnx
Pls note hujur SAWS himself has celebtared milad by fasting….pls go to You tube,search Mr. Qadri’s bayan on Milad.correct your Iman, dnt follow Wahabis.
All these Wahhbi’s are against the law & ritual. This is a very good article to diffrenciate between Wahhabi & Sunni.
It is not necessary that everything with what we do/don’t should be written in Hadis, this is just an incentive’s
I agree with Saf, the writer appears totally ignorant. I am a Sunni and after reading the above article, I feel that I follow what the so-called ‘Wahabis’ do.
I am quite sure that a large number of sunnis do so too. The differences r minimal. Anyway I feel we have to be Muslims first and last. Rest do what ever u feel is correct and satisfies ur mind.
We have divided the religion into fractions though we all believe the same
This comparison was obviously written by a Barelvi (follower of Imam Raza). They say they are sunnis when in reality they are a mix of Sufi-ism and Shia-ism.The followers are predominantly from the Indian Sub-Continent.
Less than 1% of Muslimsfollow this path. They continuously complicate the religion by adding things to it. Like the Holy Hair???
but i heard wahabis are only 5 percent and shiite are 15 percent and ahle sunnag wal jama are like 70-80 percent . and bareilvis considered themselves ahle sunnah wal jamah.. how can u be sure that this article is written by a bareilvi when all over the world tombs are visited by muslims even MUhammad Sallalahaolaiahewasallam’s tomb is der from last 1400 years……
When Ahmed Raza visited Mecca and Medina for pilgrimage in 1905, he prepared a draft document entitled Al Motamad Al Mustanad (“The Reliable Proofs”) for presentation to the scholars of Mecca and Medina. Ahmed Raza Khan collected opinions of the ulama of the Hejaz and compiled them in an Arabic language compendium with the title, Husam al Harmain (“The Sword of Two Sanctuaries”), a work containing 34 verdicts from 33 ulama (20 Meccan and 13 Medinese). The work concluded that Ghulam Ahmad’s beliefs were blasphemous and tantamount to apostasy … so it clearly means that before wahabism all were bareilvis in mecca and medina … or may be us can say ahles unnah wal jamaah
This is really ignorant of the writer….
As Abdullah said, the writer has mixed-up sunni with goushia. It is goushias who celebrate the birthday of the prophet and believe in other things like our supplictions reach Allah through prophet muhammed (s.a.w) which is wrong.
Differences between sunni and wahabi are minimal but the writer has replaced sunni with goushia. And again it is goushia who don’t follows the four imams. The writer is just downright ignorant. Any proper muslim would know this.
Your final words there are spot on, brother,”The writer is just downright ignorant. Any proper muslim would know this.”
But look and see how many comment and agree that alone proves how ignorant so many are and why Muslims are in the state there are in today… blind following, copying the kuffar, cursing and killing each other, etc. and not finding the truth… the real Muslim finds guidance in Qur’an and Sunnah, no one seems to do that anymore, Allahul musta’an
\
Anyone who doesn’t believe in Ghous Paal, sheikh Abdul qadir gilani is not Muslim, look up your religion and the Hadiths where their coming was told. Even katae wahabis believe in then do don’t get it twisted, Islam is about having faith and belief not just what you can prove and then to debate with one another, read your kalima then translate it, what does it say, in that lies your proof if you really need it and for those who don’t know here it is ” there is no god only Allah and Muhammad is his messenger” that is the difference the word IS not was hence meaning the prophet still IS AND HAD NOT JUST DIED LIKE A NORMAL MAN LIKE ALL YOU WAHABIS BELIEVE ASTAGFURULLAH! May Allah give you commentators on here guidance to seek the true Islam.
May Allah have mercy on you ignorant so called Muslim Sufi’s who believe Gilani was special in some way. You twist and turn the words of Allah and his messenger to suite your need.
Also clearly you thinking there is something different about the prophet’s (peace be upon him) death makes you even stupider than you would like to think. Obviously you guys are not reading the sunnah of the rasool nor his explanation and the explanations of his companions of the Quran.
I know for a fact not all Sufis recognize Gilani, as being special even though they dont admit he was one of the worst innovators in Islam.
May Allah guide you and the people like you to the way of the prophet and the salaf.
Ps Wahhabi’s loathe gilani and his lies as all Muslims with any respect for Allah and his messenger do.
Btw. Your “IS” claim is baseless since and a lie for two reasons and may Allah have mercy on your souls when the time comes. Below proves your claim wrong but out of your arrogance and pride and for the sake of not losing an argument (which this is not by the way) you will argue the point and risk paradise and end up in hell by lying against Allah and his messenger and righteous companions even though the truth and proof is given to you from the Quran and sunnah. I am curious how you will twist the following to suite your lies.
Here’s the simple proof against your claims:
Narrated Abu Salama from Ibn Abbas : Abu Bakr came out and ‘Umar , was addressing the people, and Abu Bakr told him to sit down but ‘Umar refused. Abu Bakr again told him to sit down but ‘Umar again refused. Then Abu Bakr recited the Tash-hud (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle) and the people attended to Abu Bakr and left ‘Umar. Abu Bakr said, “Amma ba’du, whoever amongst you worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, Allah is alive and will never die. Allah said: ‘Muhammad is no more than an Apostle and indeed (many) Apostles have passed away before him ..(up to the) grateful.’ ” (3.144) (The narrator added, “By Allah, it was as if the people never knew that Allah had revealed this verse before till Abu Bakr recited it and then whoever heard it, started reciting it “) – Sahih Al-Bukhari, Kitab Jana’iz, Hadith No. 333.
Awesome translation of kalima in english….plz stop arabic to eng translation of kalima. I would like to ask you, do you understand simple english,the first word says LA and in arabic it means NO ….I feel pity for your poor knowledge about Islam!!!!! correct your self
Thanks for writing this article. I concur whole-heartedly about the truth of this article. May Allah produce much more sunni writers like the author so that all stupid Wahabis which is by the way a product of British and the Jew be annilihate from the face of the earth.
And may Allah gives His hidayah to those ignorant who are so dumb to understand some basic principles about the things that they say haram or sinful in Islam.
No Muslim who proclaimed the syahadah would ever go to any tomb and pray to it. Only idiots who are so base would thought that Muslims of the ahlussunnah wal jammah are doing that.
May Allah enlighten them with true understanding of the deen and not to become a “wahabi parrot”, only good at parroting what they heard from their false wahabi sheikh and make them as their religion beliefs.
Wa na ‘udzubillah!
only one word can describe you, IDIOT, lol… “Wahabis” are product of Brits and Jews? so are you product of Dutch and Chinese? If you had half a brain, you would see this write is no way near Sunni and probably not even a Muslim. Stop hanging out in Indonesia bars and paying hookers, man, You are truly messed up!
really u r the assistant of intelegence of jews and also a out branded product of americans.hehehe
Typical reply from an idiot, as much as I dislike Americans and Jews, and any other Kafir. I truly hate idiots like u who speak with the words of the shaytan. Grow up you fool!
The differences put up here are simply notorious. These differences are made up by the author. I have not attended a Milad on Prophet (Sm’s) birthday for the last 10 or may be 15 years, it does not make me a Wahabe, or does not gurantee me a sunni. Quran said, there is no sect in Islam. If you are trying to produce this web-page to show these kind of differences, you are surely doing a bad work. You are trying to add fitna in religion. Please delete your webpage. And say your prayers.
Salams Dr.Siddique, finally I see one muslim following the true ways of islam.Jazakumulla khair Dr .
my first comment is that first we r muslims than other believes r desireable.am wahabi but some things nd portfolios which r described by writer r n’t true.we r followers of MUHAMMAD SAW .but we r n’t believe on those rituals which r n’t present in QURAN nd HADITH.
sunni people celebrate urs,khtm,giarwen sharif, nd some other rituals which r n’t describe by SAHABA nd ur PROPHET SAW.
THANx
This article is completely inaccurate regarding who Sunni muslims are. Sunni muslims are those who follow the Quran and Hadith and therefore, majority of Sunni muslims do NOT celebrate the birth of the Prophet (pbuh) as it is not sunnah etc. They also do not believe that the Prophet (puh) is from Nur etc as again as the title ‘Sunni’ suggests it is Quran and Hadith. Sunni’s believe any deviation from these 2 sources is not Islam.
Wahabbis are very extreme. They are similar but the only difference is that they are mposing their viewpoints very forcefully on others and have knows to cause disruption in communitites by attacking shrines etc.
Shrines in Sunni mulims is wrong, but there are a few people who have no education on Islam and practice this as this is how they know this.
Wahhabis are wrong in their actions and then you have the other extreme who are muslims who do not follow Quran and Hadith. True Sunni Muslims, are the ones following the 4 madhabs as mentioned above and none of those schools of though preach any of the acts of the spiritualism as mentioned in this article.
The Wahabi’s do not and will not show the required respect to our beloved Prophet Muhammed(SAW). They have been brain washed into this ridiculous believe that he was a human being like us(may Allah have mercy on their soles). They have no respect for themselves, how will they respect the best of creation. I am a Sunni and will always be one.
Fairoz you are the one who is brain washed. The prophet (pbuh) himself said the he is like the rest of us with the exception that he receives revelation. He also warned us not to over praise as the Christians did with Jesus. But how is that the Wahhabis fault if you choose to ignore these ahadeeth from the prophet. You love to pick and choose to suite your self so that you can be like the Christians and make Muhammad something he is not like the Christians make Jesus something he is not.
The change of saudi govt can only bring harmony in our community. We shoud pray for political change in saudi arabia.
if u say that love is to celebrate birthday of MUHAMMAD SAW than am totally disagree u.
Surah Kahf(18)…Ayaah 110
” Say (O Muhammad): “I am no more than a human being like you; one to whom revelation is made: ‘Your Lord is the One and Only God.’ Hence, whoever looks forward to meet his Lord, let him do righteous works, and let him associate none with the worship of his Lord.””
here is the proof…..And keep in mind wahabis say that Muhammad(S.A.W) was human as we r relating specie Homo Sapiens……….But his(S.A.W)’s status is very very much high than other human beings……..
Obviously he was a human being !!!!!
Atif-
1. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) is the Light of Allah, something a believer can say because the Qur’an affirms it in the verse.
يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ قَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمْ كَثِيرًا مِّمَّا كُنْتُمْ تُخْفُونَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَيَعْفُواْ عَن كَثِيرٍ قَدْ جَاءَكُم مِّنَ اللّهِ نُورٌ وَكِتَابٌ مُّبِينٌ
“O people of the Book! There hath come to you our Messenger, revealing to you much that ye used to hide in the Book, and passing over much (that is now unnecessary). There hath come to you from Allah a (new) light and a perspicuous Book (Qur’an 5:15).
this is ahle sunnat you are deviated becouse tele evanglist like yusuf estes, aburaheem green, bilal philpls and deobandis, tableegi jammat, salafies are not ahle sunnat. rather are from newly innovated groups that are deviants so you do not hold vies that were of sahabas go read the comentaries of above verse.
go to egypt, iraq, syria, iran, pakistan, india, afganistan, central asian muslims countries and other african muslims countries you will see they have shrines tombs of awliya allah. also go to madina you will see roza shareef of prophet peace be upon him. you are just brainwased by wahabies.
Salaam
It dosent matter how many shrines there are around the world
R u dumb?
You quote verses of the Quran but don’t take heed of what Prophet PBUH said
He PBUH ordered the Sahabas that no grave should be more than 1 or 2 hand spans wide and no grave shall be made in to shrines
So I just need to understand who the heck you think you are when you ignore such blatant orders and texts (bukhari by the way) and the say you are Ashique e Rasool????
Do you not in anyway see the similarity in your shrines and that of the Hindus, Christians, Jews, Sikhs, monks etc ??? Theirs look the same as yours and vice versa???
Now look to see if you see any similarities in our places of prayer and the religions i mentioned above? No resemblance what so ever !!!!
I gve you an answer to your silly comment about holy shrines all around tue world by quoting you a Sahi Hadith which condones such shrine building on graves now you kindly quote me 1 which says you can???
You r only a Sunni when you follow the Sunnah, how can you be a Sunni when you clearly dismiss a Sunnah you don’t like or don’t want to adhere to
There’s no pick & choose in Islam my friend, you either do as your told or you don’t
Love for Prophet PBUH isn’t about putting up lights and cutting expensive cakes it’s about your Niyat amd integrity
If you follow the Sunnah of Prophet PBUH it is greater than all the actions of spending money and being extravagant to show your love
Anyway as you can see with all the disagreement on this post amd the fact that the Ummah of our Beloved Prophet PBUH are not getting along
1 believes he loves PBUH more while the other has mo love
And people r quite happy to label 1 another as non Muslims
Subhan Allah this is the Ummah for whom our Beloved Prophet cried for day & night and it is he PBUH whose voice will he heard above all others on the day of judgement crying out YA UMMAT YA UMMATI
So I’m calling out to who have posted and to whom may post next, leave it be
For think of this before you decide to post
ARE YOU HAPPY TO ANSWER TO ALLAH AND YOUR PROPHET YOUR INTERCESSOR PBUH ON THE DAY OF KUDGENT THAT INSTEAD OF INCREASING HIS PBUH UMMAH YOU CHOSE INSTEAD TO
DECREASE IT BY CAUSING CONFUSION HATRED AND LABELLING OF 1 ANOTHER AS KAFIR
Wasalaam
Yep, as much as they talk about majority, I guess if a majority of Muslims drink wine too, it becomes halal, ignorance plain and simple, let those who think in majority “monkey see- monkey do “stand before Allah on yawmul qiyamah with such a foolish and filthy heart…
Atif- Saudi Arabia is the only Muslim country where Mawlid is not an official public holiday(google,milad, wikipedia)
only people you say it is bidda is wahabies like zakir naik, bilal philaps, abul raheem green, extra. majority of Muslim countries celebrate birthday of the prophet peace be upon him. also in non Muslim countries movlid is celebrated so cut your crap that shows who is ahle sunnat. and who are majority of Muslims.
Shamas,
What’s sad is your ignorance about Islam. Firstly Saudi Arabia is not the only country which doesn’t have a public holiday on the day of the milaad. Secondly the public holiday has no significance in Islam.
Thirdly and most importantly Islam is not based on what the majority do. It is based on what the prophet taught and what his companions understood it to be and those who followed them and those who followed them for 3 or 4 generations before the milaad was introduced.
Whenever you practice anything in islaam you need to ask yourself did the prophet do this and did his companions and those who followed them practise this and have evidence from the Quran and Sunnah to do this? If your answer is yes then it is beneficial for you and you will be rewarded by Allah. If not then you are sinning and creating lies about the prophet.
The prophet in many authentic ahadeeth told us that he showed us everything we need to know to succeed in this life. In other authentic narrations he says do not over praise me like the Christians did with Jesus. And lastly Allah in the Quran said he completed and perfected the religion and so if the milaad was not a part of that perfection at the time of the prophet then it is part of the imperfection which the people have added to the religion and try to pass it as part of the religion so ignorantly and insist it is right to do this. Even when evidence is given to them from the Quran and Sunnah they deny it and hence deny what the prophet taught and what Allah revealed.
Please learn your religion properly and practice it based on what Allah and His messenger taught and not what the people invent. Blind following is not part of Islam.
brother , they’ll will not and want to understand what truth u’re saying … Your knowledge which is a must for every muslim, are so high for most of them, they’re unable to conceive .Fatawallaa ‘anhum Maa ‘anta bi malum
Dear Ibrahim;
Milad was even celebrated by Hujus SWAS by fasting on Monday, pls go to youtube & search bayans of Mr. Tahirul Qadri on Milad.Pls note that Hujus SWAS was not an ordinary man,he was made on noor, Only Hujur has the status to ‘Maharaj(Meeting)’ with ‘Khuda’. he was the person in whoes love allah has given Namaj, Kuran, Kaba to Ummate Rasul.Even allah has said in Quran shariif I would’nt have made ‘dono jahan’ If Hujur SAWS was not there. Allah himself has declared that he himself is sending ‘durud e Akram’ on Hujur SAWS. How allah can send a durud on ordinary man like you & me.pls tell me one person from this so kind of Wahabi moulanas, on whome allah will send durud. no body in the world is comparable to hujur SWAS,allah has made him that way. I am sunni & proude of it. i am ready to debate with you on this issue any time.Sunnies are from birth of Hujur SWAS, from 1450 years & original form of islam,Wahabis are the sect generated in 18 th century by soudis,followed only by soudis, who are creating the terrirists & beacuse of whome Islam is dishonoured by its enemies. In 9/11 attack 15 out of 19 teririst were wahabi. go to google search is out youself.
jazakumullah ho kheran brother,let them bark ,coz they are created for barking.everyone will cut,what he will so
the first who celebrated maulid , are the syiah ,not the sunni, it started in (approximately) 350H (Fatimiyah dinasty in Mesir) , go check, u’re calling yourself a sunni, yet u don’t know your sources of reference , u are actually following the syiah , not sunnah. Just because u are the majority, doesn’t me u are the right one. Go check what the ulama writes before 350H, u’ll be suprise except certain of them like ghazali, whose knowledge in hadits is very very weak, yet some called him hujjatul islam…inna rabbaka huwa a’lamu man dhalla ‘an sabilihi wa huwa a’lamu bi manihtadaa …we’ll see . u’ll see , we’ll wait , and u’ll wait!!!!
Doesnt the quran say that Allah(swt) told Muhammad(pbuh) NOT to debate with hypocrites,non believers and slanderers? Any new revert can see this post as a slander to muslims, its so obvious that it need not be rebuked…by rebuking such futile attempts at propaganda, you become dirtied…….You all claim Sunni, yet you all break this basic principle…THE UMMAH should not be so easily provoked by such a childish taunt…
Brother Ismail is so correct.
Thank you, Babby pathan I am encouraged to find you appreciate my point. There is a Ayat in the Quran that says there is no sect in Islam. I did not find it, but please see this:
“He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus – to establish the religion and not be divided therein.” (Al Quran – 42:13)
Have you (all) seen the recent attempt to insult our Prophet (SM) bu making that movie? I have seen it in the YouTube. After seeing it, I realised that the maker of that movie were so mean, and the way they have shown things are so light, idiotic, that almost it needs to description to say that “it is rubbish”; and one way to respond to that movie making is simply to say nothing. Because it is a total non-sense. But see people have already killed an American diplomat. I do not know if Jehad means that you have to kill an American Diplomat just because someone else made a movie on our holy Prophet (SM). Jehad is – I think – something else. We muslim should not be taunted with silly things.
and dr, u are also correct … bal ‘ajibuu an jaa-a hum mundzrin minhum…they’ll not hear u …. yu’faku ‘anhu man ufik
This is not true. False explaination about what a sunni is. We do not worship the prophet as any more than a man. He is just a man. We only pray to God no one else.
Asalamu aleykum,
i agree with mhjkk, i lean towards wahhabi most the times rather than other maddhabs, and sometimes other maddhabs. honestly, doesnt matter, its all sunni. but sunnis do NOT celebrate bday of the prophet (SAW) AstagfirAllah. i dont have a title but for such information eg the prophet. wahhabi is still sunni, wahhabi is just one of (unfortunately sect within a sect) sects of Sunni. sunni muslims dont believe in intercession, this goes against the very foundation of is Islam…. are you even muslim…???
u’re a muslim and i hope u’re a mukmin . i hope the are lot more people parallel with your saying , but this is an era of fitnah , asmykm wabaarakatu
Salams brother & sisters in islam,please stay away from these kind of blogs were the enemies of islam have laid down a destructive plan of fitna to divide and bring out enemity between muslims.Clearly the author is not aware of this great religion called islam but he very well knows the passionate followers who can easily be deceived by this formula of fitna.
All boils down to giving poison to a sick people, they still take it knowing its harmful… sad but true
I had not been well informed about Islam, but my understanding that we have 4 imams under the Sunni banner. The wahabi are Sunni but follow imam Hanbali.
I thinks it’s about time Muslims start learning about what they have been taught, because we all grow up believing what has been handed down to us by our parents and forefathers.
I follow the Quran only and consider that I can call myself MUSLIM, those follow imams, hadiths or anything else should identify themself with what they practice.
Sunni- Hanafi
Sunni- Shafi
Sunni- Hanbali
Sunni- Maliki
Or
Shia – Ismaili
Shia – Jafri
Belief out of ignorance is belief not worth having, please go and learn you relgion.
That’s the problem barely anyone wants to learn the religion. But let me correct you, firstly there is no such thing as “wahhabi” and those who label people as such are just plain ignorant, secondly they dont only follow the Hanbali school, one well-known scholar of our times Shaikh al-Albani, Rahimahullah, was indeed of the Hanafi school. there are always differences of opinions and ruling within any of the schools. The point is, as the same “wahhabis” try to point out is not to blindfollow.
This is clearly a place of Fitna, and therefore I am leaving this place.
Dear Muslim Brothers and Sisters – please go elsewhere where you can spend your time more meaningfully in learning.
Was salam
Good bit of advice, but if Muslims barely follow Sunnah (or the Qur’an) anyway, I’m sure they won’t take advice from anyone sensible not even from Scholars. “Muslims” are the greatest threat to Islam, no doubt!
Hudhaifa i.e. Ibn al Yaman (ra) said that the Prophet (saw) said: Verily, I fear about a man from you who will read the Qur’an so much that his face will become enlightened and he will come to personify Islam. This will continue until Allah desires. Then these things will be taken away from him when he will disregard them by putting them all behind his back and will attack his neighbor with the sword accusing him of Shirk. The Prophet was asked – which of the two will be deserving of such an accusation? – The attacker or the attacked? The Prophet replied – the attacker (the one accusing the other of Shirk)

►Bukhari in his Tarikh ul Kabir, Volume No. 4, Page No. 301,

And when it is said to them, “Come, the Messenger of Allah will pray for your forgiveness”, they turn aside their heads, and thou wouldst see them turning away their faces in arrogance. 63:06 Chapter munafiqun
the hadith about grave you quoted and conclusions you drew from it shows your ignorance. also why it does not show any thing, it does show consensus of Muslims not what you wahabies claim is consensus. go listen to wahabies they say their is no proofe and it is bidda that is consensus of umma. according to wahabies the muhammad ibne abdul wahab’s word is law of islam. the language you people useing are fitna he started. go read the hadith and ayat of quran kareem and say Allah and his prophet is committing shirk.
Verse u gave is clearly for munafiqs of that time……..
There was also for dua…..that if they turned to Muhammad(S.A.W)….thn He(S.A.W) did dua……..
See brother dua is not wrong….i can make dua for u ….u can make for me………But u cant ask unto Muhammad(S.A.W) for anything…….
bcoz ALLAh says in Surah 7….Ayaah 194″ Those whom you invoke other than Allah are creatures like you. So invoke them. and see if they answer your call, if what you claim is true.”
other than ALLAH means everybody besides ALLAH
Yr ALLAH is ready to listen u then y r u going far away…….
Surah 02….Ayaah 186
“And if My servants ask you, O Prophet. concerning Me, tell them that I am quite near to them. I hear and answer the prayer of the suppliant, when he calls to Me. So let them respond to My call and believe in Me. Convey this to them, O Prophet; perhaps they may be guided aright.”
Now if u will not make direct dua then its mean u dnt believe in this verse……
Surah 39….Ayaah 38
” If you ask them: “Who created the heavens and the earth?” they will surely answer: “Allah.” Tell them: “What do you think, then, of the deities whom you call upon instead of Allah? If Allah should will that an affliction befall me, will those deities remove the harm inflicted by Him? Or if Allah should will that I receive (His) Mercy, will they be able to withhold His Mercy from me?” Say: “Allah is sufficient for me; those who have to put their trust, let them put their trust in Him.”
Surah 39….Ayah 43
“Or have they taken others instead of Allah as intercessors? Say: “Will they intercede though they may have no power and though they may not even understand?””
Ayah 44
“Say: “All intercession lies with Allah. His is the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And to Him will all of you be sent back.””
Please ponder on Quran and sunnah………then we will b real muslims….
May ALLAH give us Hidaya……
Wasalaam
U gave wrong reference………. Surah 63….Ayah 05……………….that is not 06
there is no sunni and Wahabi in Islam. Islam is a deen for humanity and teachs us that Allah is one and the only to worship. these are two sects in Islam Wahabi and Suni. plz remember the verses of Quran that be holded the rope of Allah and do not be the part of divisions. these sects will definitely leads you to the hell. …..well i will only comment that follow the quran….thats itemember there is not any reference more strong than the Quran. my advise to follow only quran if you are in doubt because most of the times it is noticed that people quote false Hadeeth to prove themselvs right. and remember those who quote false hadeeth and link any thing with propher Mohammad (PBUH) will sure stay in Hell Inshallah. plz be muslim who beleive on Allah. Allah is the one to whom we should worship!
remember these dargah or mazar or walli or what ever who is creation of Allah can never give you anything as they are also seeking from Allah so why not we directly ask from Allah rather then the creations of Allah
Of course there is a such thing as Sunni and Wahhabi. The Sunnis have writtens thousands of books pertaining to their creed and methodology. As for the Wahhabis, it is a mvement that began 250 years ago by a man named Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhab. All one needs to do is look into the books of Islamic history on this topic. Also, there is more info here:

First you be sure about what you are saying and get your facts right. Four or Five Schools??
There are many schools teaching and guiding you to the straight path of Islam. Which you will never accept as Allah (Subhana wa Ta’ala) has mentioned in the Holy Qur’an, Surat Al-Baqarah that “they will not follow what is right. Instead, they will ignore the truth and follow what their fore fathers followed. And Allah (Subhana wa Ta’ala) has sealed their hearts so that they remain ignorant.”
Open your eyes, read the Sahih Hadith and imply immediately unto your life and, Read and understand “The holy qur’an”.
InshAllah, may all the muslims on this planet be guided and forgiven by the Almighty, Allah (Subhana wa Ta’ala) .
Dear muslim siblings its very unfair that we are fighting over trifles.we should have unity.so that non muslims shouldnot overcome us. I feel ashamed of the time when a non muslim will see these so much differences of views in between the muslims n will think are these really muslims the believers of one and only almighty Allah n followers of Muhammad (pbuh).we should just obey Allah n Follow the sunnah of Prophet .dont let the non muslims laugh over us for we r one.
actually the so-called “wahabi” is the sunni , but the self-claimed sunnia are not sunni because they’re not following the teachings in the sunnah and most of them nowdays are so so weak in sunnah knowledge , this includes their scholars. But the wahabi-framed term , are the people who actually have more reliable scholars in sunnah, they really learnt which are authentic and weak of the narrations of the sunnah. Your article is very confusing, written by someone who don’t have little knowledge about it!!!
1) Sunni love Mohammed whereas Wahabi love Mohammed bin Abdul Wahhab Najdi.
2) Sunni love Imam Hussain (Son of Mohammed`s daughter) whereas Wahabi love Yazid, a killer of Hazrat Imam Hussain.
3) Sunni love slogan of “Ya Rasoolullah” where as Wahabi hate it.
4) Sunni love Sufi whereas Wahabi hate them.
5) Sunni are Peaceful whereas Wahabi are Terrorist i-e Al Qaeda & Taliban and etc.
6) Sunni were created by Prophet Mohammed whereas Wahabi were created by U.K with the help of Mohammed bin Abdul Wahab Najdi to destroy Sunni Turk Ottoman Empire.
I am a sunni muslim. i dont have much knowledge, but i think wahabis aka wobblers are on the wrong path mainly because they believe that prophet Muhammad (S) was a normal person… I mean how can someone who is the beloved of Allah, someone who is made from the Noor of Allah be normal and plus the heavens and this world were all created for the beloved of Allah.
Secondly, wahabis believe that hazoor pak (S) has passed away… asthaqfirullah hazoor pak (S) is still alive its just that we cant see the beloved of allah.
Thirdly you wobblers read namaz in a weird way especially when you flick the shahadath finger like a hundred times and raise your hands when ever the imam says allah hu akbar. :/ and another thing i dislike is when they criticise sunnis for celebrating hazoor pak (S) birthday i mean you ignorant people we only remember the prophet (S) by reciting darood sharif, reciting naats and talking about the prophet (S) life time its not like were dancing, playing birthday games and partying.

It really pains me to see such Muslims as your self speaking nonsense and out of ignorance, with such arrogance and defiance, which is a clear sign of the day of judgment as was mentioned by the prophet.
Clearly you don’t have much knowledge and when you start of your statement by telling the people you don’t have much knowledge then finish off by claim that the so called wahaabis are ignorant how can you be expected to be taken seriously. May Allah guide you and those like you.
Islam is the religion of knowledge. The first aayah of the Qur’aan to be revealed enjoined reading which is the key to knowledge. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created (all that exists).
He has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood).
Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous.
Who has taught (the writing) by the pen.
He has taught man that which he knew not” (al-‘Alaq 96:1-5)
“And follow not (O man, i.e., say not, or do not, or witness not) that of which you have no knowledge. Verily, the hearing, and the sight, and the heart of each of those ones will be questioned (by Allah)” (al-Israa’ 17:36)
So those who take what people like you speak and yourself will be question by Allah about this on the Day of Judgment.
Islam calls us to seek knowledge. The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) made seeking knowledge an obligation upon every Muslim, and he explained that the superiority of the one who has knowledge over the one who merely worships is like the superiority of the moon over every other heavenly body. He said that the scholars are the heirs of the Prophets and that the Prophets did not leave behind dinars and dirhams (i.e., money), rather their inheritance was knowledge, so whoever acquires it has gained a great share. And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said that seeking knowledge is a way to Paradise. He (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever follows a path in the pursuit of knowledge, Allaah will make a path to Paradise easy for him.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, Kitaab al-‘Ilm, 10)
If the scholar spreads his knowledge among the people, he will have a reward like that of those who follow him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever calls people to right guidance will have a reward like that of those who follow him, without it detracting from their reward in the slightest, and whoever calls people to misguidance will have a burden of sin like that of those who follow him, without it detracting from their burden in the slightest.” (Narrated by Muslim, 2674)
DO YOU WANT TO BE OF THOSE CALLING TO MISGUIDANCE?
So in answer to you claims above:
The so called wahaabis don’t call themselves wahaabi. The deviant groups who dislike the truth have chosen this name for them out of their ignorance not realising that they have taken Allah’s name Al-Wahaab and made it into something derogatory may Allah have mercy on you and them.
Yes not all those whom the ignorant call wahaabi’s are on the correct path but a good majority of them are. They stick to the sunnah and the quran most likely better than yourself, those you follow as clearly you don’t follow the messenger of Allah ( p ) or even myself. They have a jelousy and a love for the prophet more than you and your group do.
They don’t claim that the prophet (p) was a normal person. Allah in the Quran and the prophet himself claimed this.
We granted not to any man before you permanent life [here]; if then you should die would they live forever? Every soul shall have a taste of death; and We test you by evil and by good by way of trial. To Us must you return.” (Q21.34-35)
“if Allah (SWT) willed, He could seal up your heart” (42.24), which means that He (SWT) could even seal the heart of the Prophet Mohammed (SAW). So how could He (SAW) be more than a human being when he is warned by Allah (SWT) of the punishment that is applied to normal human beings?
“Say (O Muhammad): I am only a man like you. It has been revealed to me that your Ilaah (God) is One Ilaah (God ___ i.e. Allaah)”(al-Kahf 18:110)
“And We did not create them (the Messengers, with) bodies that ate not food, nor were they immortals” (al-Anbiya’ 21:8)
“Their Messengers said to them: We are no more than human beings like you” (Ibraaheem 14:11)
In the most authentic book after the Quran: It was narrated by Umm Salama (R.A) (Wife of Prophet SAW) that Allah’s Apostle heard some people quarreling at the door of his dwelling. He came out and said, “I am only a human being, and opponents come to me [to settle their problems]. Maybe someone amongst you can present his case more eloquently than the other, whereby I may consider him true and give a verdict in his favor. So, if I give the right of a Muslim to another by mistake, then it is really a portion of the Fire [of Hell], and he has the option to take it or give it up [before the Day of Resurrection]“. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 3, No. 638) See also hadiths 9.97, 1.799, 9.292 of Sahih Al–Bukhari.
The Holy Prophet (SAW) was a human being.
He (SAW) only knew what Allah (SWT) had told him, (i.e.) He (SAW) had no knowledge about the future or what is hidden.
It was narrated by ‘Abdullah that the Prophet prayed (and the sub narrator Ibrahim said, “I do not know whether he prayed more or less than usual”), and when he had finished the prayers he was asked: “O Allah’s Apostle! Has there been any change in the prayers?” He said, “what is it?’ The people said, “You have prayed so much and so much.” So the Prophet bent his legs, faced the Qibla and performed two prostrations (of Sahu [forgetfulness]) and finished his prayers with Taslim (by turning his face to right and left saying: ‘As-Salamu’Alaikum-Warahmat-ullah’). When he turned his face to us he said, “If there had been anything changed in the prayer, surely I would have informed you, but I am a human being like you and liable to forget like you. So if I forget remind me and if anyone of you is doubtful about his prayer, he should follow what he thinks to be correct and complete his prayer accordingly and finish it and do two prostrations (of Sahu).” (Sahih Al–Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 8, No. 394)
It is not permissible to overstep the mark with regard to what the Qur’aan states about the message and humanity of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). For example, it is not permissible to describe him (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) as being noor (light) or as casting no shadow, or to say that he was created from light for he never said this nor did Allah. Rather this is a kind of exaggeration which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade when he said: “Do not exaggerate about me as was exaggerated about ‘Eesa (Jesus) ibn Maryam. Say: the slave of Allaah and His Messenger.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6830.
Moreover it is proven that the angels are the ones who were created from light, not any of the sons of Adam. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The angels were created from light, and Iblees was created from smokeless fire, and Adam (peace be upon him) was created from what has been described to you.” Narrated by Muslim, 2996.
The hadeeths which people use to claim that the prophet was created from light are fabricated ahadeeth.
The heavens and earth were not created for the sake of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). They were created for the reason mentioned by Allaah in the aayah (interpretation of the meaning): “It is Allaah Who has created seven heavens and of the earth the like thereof (i.e., seven). His Command descends between them (heavens and earth), that you may know that Allaah has power over all things, and that Allaah surrounds (comprehends) all things in (His) Knowledge.” (al-Talaaq 65:12)
The hadith regarding the creation of the heavens and the earth for the prophets sake are all fabricated and have been proven so due to the chains of narration, and evidence in the Quran and sunnah contrary to those hadiths
The death of the prophet ( p ). I can’t believe people even still say this. Do people actually read the Quran or the ahadeeth or athaar (sayings of the sahaabah ( r )).
“Verily, you (O Muhammad) will die, and verily, they (too) will die” (al-Zumar 39:30)
“And We granted not to any human being immortality before you (O Muhammad); then if you die, would they live forever?” (al-Anbiyaa’ 21:34)
The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died and was buried in his grave, hence al-Siddeeq Abu Bakr (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “Whoever used to worship Muhammad, Muhammad has died, but whoever used to worship Allaah, Allaah is alive and will never die.”
The fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was a witness, a bringer of glad tidings and a warner, and that he will be a witness on the Day of Resurrection, does not mean that he is present among all nations, or that he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) will remain alive until the Day of Resurrection, or that he sees and witnesses whilst he is in his grave. Witnessing does not only mean seeing. Rather he will testify against the nations by means of what Allaah tells him, for he does not know the unseen. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “… and If I had the knowledge of the Ghaib (Unseen), I should have secured for myself an abundance of wealth…” (al-A’raaf 7:188)
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) does not have the ability to be present in numerous places; he is in only one place, which is his grave, and this is according to the consensus of the Muslims.
Flicking the finger during tashahud, This has nothing to do with the so called wahaabi’s. This is a fiqh issue that many groups have differed about based on the evidences they had:
The Hanafis say that the finger should be raised when saying “Laa (no)” in the phrase “Ash-hadu an laa ilaaha ill-Allaah (I bear witness that there is no god except Allaah)” and it should be lowered when saying, “ill-Allaah (except Allaah).”
The Shaafa’is say that it should be raised when saying “ill-Allaah.”
The Maalikis say that it should be moved right and left until one finishes the prayer.
The Hanbalis say that one should point with the finger when saying the name of Allaah, without moving it.
THERE IS NO BASIS IN THE SUNNAH FOR ANY OF THESE AND THE CLOSEST ONE IS THE HANBALI VIEW
It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn al-Zubayr said: When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sat during the prayer, he would place his left foot between his thigh and calf, and tuck his right foot underneath him, and place his left hand on his left knee, and place his right hand on his right thigh, and point with his finger. Narrated by Muslim, 579
In al-Nasaa’i (1270) and Abu Dawood (989) it says: “He used to point with his finger when making du’aa’ but he did not move it.”
It was narrated that Waa’il ibn Hajar said: I said: I will certainly watch how the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prays. So I watched him and he stood up and said takbeer (“Allaahu akbar”), and raised his hands until they were level with his ears. Then he placed his right hand on his left hand, wrist and lower forearm. When he wanted to bow, he raised his hands likewise, and put his hands on his knees, and when he raised his head he raised his hands likewise. Then he prostrated and put his hands level with his ears, then he sat with his left foot tucked underneath him and put his left hand on his left thigh and knee, and he put the edge of his right elbow on his right thigh. Then he held two of his fingers and made a circle, then he raised his forefinger and moved it, making du’aa’ with it. Narrated by al-Nasaa’i, 889; classed as saheeh by Ibn Khuzaymah, 1/354; Ibn Maajah, 5/170; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 367.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen quoted this hadeeth – “moving it, making du’aa’ with it” – as evidence that moving the forefinger during the tashahhud should be done with every phrase of the du’aa’. He said in al-Sharh al-Mumti’:
The Sunnah indicates that he should point with it when making du’aa’, because the wording of the hadeeth is “moving it, making du’aa’ with it”. So every time you make du’aa’, move your finger thus indicating the exalted nature of the One to Whom you are addressing your du’aa’s. So we say:
“Al-salaamu ‘alayka ayyuha’l-Nabiyyu (peace be upon you, O Prophet)” – you should point your finger because this salaam is a kind of du’aa’. “Al-salaamu ‘alayna (peace be upon us)” – you should point your finger. “Allaahumma salli ‘ala Muhammad (O Allaah, send blessings upon Muhammad)” – you should point your finger. “Allaahumma baarik ‘ala Muhammad) O Allaah, send blessings upon Muhammad)” – you should point your finger. ‘A’oodhu Billaahi min ‘adhaab jahannam (I seek refuge with Allaah from the torment of Hell)” – you should point your finger. “Wa min ‘adhaab al-qabr (and from the torment of the grave)” – you should point your finger. “Wa min fitnat il-mahya wa’l-mamaat (and from the trials of life and death)” – you should point your finger. “Wa min fitnat il-maseeh il-dajjaal (and from the tribulation of the Dajjaal) – you should point your finger. Every time you make du’aa’ you should point your finger, indicating the greatness of the One to Whom you are making du’aa’. This is closer to the Sunnah.
It is Sunnah when pointing to look at your finger. Al-Nawawi said: The Sunnah is not to let your gaze go beyond the pointing finger. There is a saheeh hadeeth concerning this in Sunan Abi Dawood. You should point in the direction of the qiblah and intend when pointing to affirm the Oneness of Allaah and exclusive devotion to Him. Sharh Muslim, 5/81
It was narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar that he saw a man moving pebbles with his hand whilst he was praying. When he finished, ‘Abd-Allaah said to him: “Do not move pebbles whilst you are praying, for that comes from the Shaytaan. Rather do what the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to do. He put his right hand on his thigh and pointed with the finger that is next to the thumb towards the qiblah, and he fixed his gaze on it.” Then he said: “This is what I saw the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) doing.” Narrated by al-Nasaa’i, 1160; Ibn Khuzaymah, 1/355; Ibn Hibbaan, 5/273. classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Nasaa’i.
The hadiths regarding the raising the hands in prayer are mutawaatir (meaning that their are so many narrations by so many people that it cannot be doubtful).
Imaam al-Bukhaari (may Allaah have mercy on him) wrote a separate book on this issue which he called Juz’ fi Raf’ al-Yadayn (Section on Raising the Hands), in which he proved that the hands should be raised at these two points on the prayer, and he strongly denounced those who go against that. He narrated that al-Hasan said: “The Companions of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to raise their hands during prayer when they bowed and when they stood up (from bowing).” Al-Bukhaari said, “Al-Hasan did not exclude any of the Sahaabah from that, and it was not proven that any one among the Sahaabah did not raise his hands.” See al-Majmoo’ by al-Nawawi, 3/399-406.
The hadeeth narrated by Abu Dawood (749) from al-Baraa’ ibn ‘Aazib, which says that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to raise his hands almost to his ears when he started to pray, then he did not repeat (this action) was narrated by Abu Dawood (748) from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: “Shall I not lead you in prayer as the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did?” Then he prayed and he only raised his hands once. See Nasb al-Raayah by al-Zayla’i, 1/393-407. But these ahaadeeth were classed as da’eef (weak) by the imams of hadeeth. The hadeeth of al-Baraa’ was classed as da’eef by Sufyaan ibn ‘Uyaynah, al-Shaafa’i, al-Humaydi the shaykh of al-Bukhaari, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Yahya ibn Ma’een, al-Daarimi, al-Bukhaari, and others. The hadeeth of Ibn Mas’ood was classed as da’eef by ‘Abd-Allaah ibn al-Mubaarak, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, al-Bukhaari, al-Bayhaqi, al-Daaraqutni and others. Similarly, the reports which were narrated from some of the Sahaabah about not raising the hands are all da’eef. We have quoted above the words of al-Bukhaari (may Allaah have mercy on him): “…it was not proven that any one among the Sahaabah did not raise his hands.” See Talkhees al-Habeer by al-Haafiz ibn Hajar, 1/221-223. Once it is proven that these ahaadeeth and reports which say that the hands should not be raised are weak, then the ahaadeeth which say that the hands should be raised remain strong with no opposing reports. Hence the believer should not fail to raise his hands at the points in prayer described in the Sunnah. He should strive to make his prayer like the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) who said, “Pray as you have seen me praying.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 631). Hence ‘Ali ibn al-Madeeni, the shaykh of al-Bukhaari, said: “It is the duty of the Muslims to raise their hands when they bow in rukoo’ and when they stand up from rukoo’.” Al-Bukhaari said: “ ‘Ali was the most knowledgeable of the people of his time.”
Once the Sunnah has been explained clearly, no one has the right to ignore it, following whoever among the scholars said that. Imaam al-Shaafa’i (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “The scholars are agreed that if the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) becomes clear to a person, it is not permissible for him to ignore it in favour of the opinion of anyone.” Madaarij al-Saalikeen, 2/335.
There is also a fourth place where it is mustahabb to raise the hands during prayer; that is when standing up after the first Tashahhud for the third rak’ah but I think the proof has gotten to long as it is.
Celebrating the Mawlid is haraam and there is no doubt in this. There is absolutely nothing in the quran or sunnah regarding it and neither did anyone in the first 3 centuries who followed the prophet ( p ) celebrate it.
As mentioned above he ( p ) told us not to over exaggerate praising him as the christians did with Jesus.
The ones who loved him most his companions never celebrated his nor anyone else’ birth yet that was a common practice for the non believers at the time.
Did any of the imaams – Abu Haneefah, Maalik, al-Shaafi’i, Ahmad, al-Hasan al-Basri, Ibn Seereen – do this or command others to do it or say that it was good? By Allaah, no! It was not even mentioned during the first and best three centuries. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said in a saheeh hadeeth: “The best of mankind are my generation (or my century), then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then there will come a people who will not care if their testimony comes before their oath or vice versa (i.e., they will not take such matter seriously).” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, Muslim and al-Tirmidhi). The celebration of the Prophet’s birthday appeared many centuries later, when many of the features of true religion had vanished and bid’ah had become widespread.
Thus this celebration became a sign of one’s love for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? But can it be possible that the Sahaabah, the imaams and the people of the best three centuries were unaware of it, and it was only those who came later who were aware of its importance?! What the Qur’aan tells us is that love of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is demonstrated by following the guidance he brought. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Say (O Muhammad): ‘If you (really) love Allaah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Say: ‘Obey Allaah and the Messenger.’ But if they turn away, then Allaah does not like the disbelievers.” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:31-32]
The first aayah explains that love is just a claim, but the proof of sincerity is following what the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) brought. The second aayah reaffirms the importance and necessity of obeying Allaah and His Messenger. Hence Allaah ended the aayah with a very stern warning in which those who refuse to obey are described as kaafirs, and Allah does not love the disbelievers. We ask Allaah to keep us safe from that. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us of the danger of not obeying him, and the danger of adding to what he brought. The celebration of Mawlid or his birthday is indeed an addition to what he brought – as all the scholars agree (except those who are corrupt). He said: “The best of speech is the Book of Allaah, and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. The most evil of things are those which are newly-invented (in religion), and every innovation is a going astray.” (Reported by Muslim and al-Nisaa’i).
If you claim it is not an act of worship and just a remembrance then their is clearly no basis for it in the religion. If you claim that the prophet will bless you or that the prophet will get benefit from it or that you get benefit or however many different claims there are regarding it then clearly you have lost your way are in need of serious help.
We ask Allaah to protect us from bid’ah and to bless us by helping us to follow. Allaah knows best. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad.
Was-salaamu alaakum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatoh
First I am Muslim and secondly I am Sunni Muslim and then I am a Hanafi Sunni Muslim .When Nabi Kareem Sallella hi alaihe Wa Sallam passed away we were all Muslims .Since then different situation arose and we had naturally had multiple contradictory solutions for those .Some went right some left. As time passed continued to have different views .It
Is to be noted that all these factions looked for solutions as Muslims no one went to other religion. For example before Muawiah there were no Shiha or Sunni .
Whatever faction we belong to we are all Muslims .Why do we have to kill whoever does not think like us .what is going on ,now more Muslims are being killed by other Muslims then anyone else .
We believe in life after death and in the Day of judgement and so let Allah be the judge of who was right and who was wrong .
Let us practice more tolerance that is the only way out.
Peace be up on everybody .

i hate woblers too, they are brain washed. and all theyre mosques are funded so they bound to believe on what saudi say, also they eid is decided by science.
this guy clearly does not no wth hes talking about. End of story.
Dear Readers,
Wahhabism is out of Islam are non-Muslims because they believes almighty Allah has head etc. This is something outside the Islam. Please do understand that only Sunnis are Muslims and Wahhabees are non-Muslims. Do not consider Wahhabees as Muslims please. It is a separate independant religion.
I have not up to now heard that a muslim says ! I am a wahabi” This is a cotation that is put on somebody who disagrees witb the views of the other person.If a muslim accepts sahada who are we to say that one is not a muslim.Why you judge people?Allah is the only judge to say that.Be aware that you will have to account to Allah one day.Let us all accept sahada, pray to Allah,give zakat,keep ramadan,perform haj,read Quran,and seek takwa,and stop killing others,improve our life to please Allah ONLY and stop criticising our own brothers in Islam.Let us unite and be united.Look around the world our umma is in a pathetic state because of our own weakness.From east to west,from north to south muslim is fighting and killing each other.Brother in islam we are not perfect,let us remember our beloved nabi Mohammad (saw) last and farewell speech.He asked us to be fair and refer to the 2 golden books Quran and hadith…Let us revert to islam and stop this division and bickering.Let us look in the Quran and try to see what Allah wants from us.Practice Islam practice practice practice.Its between you and Allah.let us give our life to Allah zikr and not argue on petty thing like wahabi,sunni,and god knows what next.Its time to read Quran and perform namaz(salah).have to go.I hope that you got the message.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Let me draw the kind attention of those who believe in Islam. Those who believe in Islam are called Muslims. But, what is Islam and what does it mean to say to “live like a Muslim”?
Islam is the religion of Allah which He bestowed upon the humanity through His Prophets. The chain of Prophet Hood was ended with Prophet Muhammad (S). The Principles of Islam are the Quran of Allah and its practical examples what is otherwise called ” Sunnathul Rasool”. Prophet (S) did not add anything to Islam what was not revealed to Him through the verses of the Quran and by other means. Prophet (S) did not delete anything from the Quran as well. Islam was already completed by the declaration of Allah إني أكملت لكم دينكم وأتممت عليكم نعمتي ورضيت لكم الأسلام ديناً. Now, let me ask ? Who are those who really follow these two principles- Quran and Sunnathul Rasool? No, sunny can say that they are following Quran and Sunnah. I can darely say, these two principles are unquestionably accepted and followed by Wahabis. This is the reason why all Wahabis or the followers of Salafi are united through out the world. Even though they are minority when comparing with different types of Sunnis , they have unity . This unity is a reward from Allah. Allah said in His Quran”واعتصموا بحبل الله جميعاً ولا تفرقوا . “You hold the rope of Allah together and do not split ” The rope here means “Quran or Tauheed”. Both are the same. Now, turn to the side of Sunnis? There are tens of hundreds of groups among sunnis. There will be dozens of groups among them. Shafi Sunni, Maliki Sunni, Hanbali Sunnis and the like. Shafi Sunnis are found in dozens of groups. If you study Indian Sunnis you will find sunnis are in different kinds within different states of India. They do not have any unity among them. This is the same situation all over the world. The main reason for this disunity and disintegration is that they are not following Quran and Sunnathul Rasool. They do not consider Quran as a revelent proof. They follow their Mullas who live for the sake of money and worldly gains. If they unquestionably accept the Quran, then they will unqustionably approve the strong Hadith of the Prophet (S). If they approve the Quran, no superstitious beliefs will be seen among the Sunnis. All such superstitious beliefs and deeds happened due to their non acceptance of Tauheed or the Belief in Islamic Monotheism. There are hundreds of verses in the Quran explaining what is Tauheed and its opposit theory what is called Shirk. Allah says that He will forgive any sin, if he Wills, except Shirk. Associating partners with Allah in His Sovereingty or Lordship, or in His Worship and in His Attributes. Our poor sunnis are offering their rituals to the holy dead men and martyrs. This is against the Message of Quran and the Traditions of the Prophet. So, if any calls by himself that he is sunni, Allah will not accept that title. Allah accepts the deeds of His servants only if their Faith is free from all sorts of polytheism or Shirk. No wahabis do shirk and Bidaa what is called innovation. So, my dear sunnis, you first of all subject to your beliefs and acts according to the principle of Quran and Hadith. Let me say about the titles ” Sunnis and Wahabis”. These titles are not given by Allah or His Prophet. There is Ahlu Sunna wal Jamath. This means the followers of Quran and Sunnah. So, the real Ahlul Sunnah Wal Jamath is the followers of Salafi. The biggest Scholars of Islam are living in Saudi Arabia. They deeply immersed in the Quran and Hadith.
Probably you have understood Islam but it is a matter of great sorrow that you have understood in the most wrong way. with out being bias please try to understand Islam…….
Asslaam-u-Alaikum!
Dear, you said that
The biggest Scholars of Islam are living in Saudi Arabia. They deeply immersed in the Quran and Hadith. I am living in saudia, inspite of the fact of biggest Scholars of Islam, the government of Saudia passed a law for the time passing marriage like shia’s belief as Muta. Every one can get married for short time. They make this law for their sexual satisfaction and on other side they are against the “Muta”. In fact there are two basic school of thought 1) Sunnis and 2) Shias…. Actually, Wahabism is also a line of Sunnis like Deobandi, Hanbali,Malki, and Hanfi. Bralvi is also line of Sunnism. So, please don’t separate wahabis from Sunnism. It is a fact. Now, I come to the main topic which you are still not understand and querrel with each other. Salafis means the followers of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) i.e Sahaba Karaam, Tabaeen and Taba-Tabaeen. It means all the Sunnis(Wahabis,Bralvis,Doebandi,Malkis,Hanbalis and Shafis) are the followers of Salafi. There are some difference in the thought of all the related sunnis and this difference not from today, its from the era of all our Imaams(Abu Hanifa, Malik, Sahafi) Razi Allah Tuala Ajmaeen. According to Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH), there will be 72 or 73 groups of my Ummah and from all one group will go to Jannah. For hearing this Hathis every group consiser himself that they are belong to that one group. Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH) also said that I prayed from Allah(SWT) that my Ummah not to qurrel with each other but Allah(SWT) not accepted my prayer because that is already written in The Book of Allah(SWT). So please be patient and not to querrl with each other because of you know in the history of Islam, Hazrat Ali and Hazrat Amir Muawia also fight with each other and you also know that Hazrat Ali was include in that 10 Sahabas who are Ashra Mubashra(will go to Jannah).
Which group you mention here on fault. And the one group from 72 or 73 are that group of persons from all these groups who follow the Quran and Sunnah. Not only Wahabi, Brelvi, Shafi will go as a whole but only who have TAQWAH. And one fact is also that wahabism started in Saudia from last 200 years before when they did War against Turkey Kaliph called Uthmania Caliph. So, good and bad peoples are in all sectors of Islam. I am also belong to Sunni and admitt here that some illetrate sunnis goes to Mazaraat of Aulia Karaams and do something wrong. I also went several time but its not mean to demand somthing from that Aulias. And going to at Qabar is not forbidden by our Prophet. Woman should not go there as Islam stopped them. Aulia Allah are on the true way. If some one is deny on them like that they are not good people, then you are denying the verse of QURAN in which Allah(SWT) say that if someone against my Walis then I will fight with that man. And also in QURAN that I will become of Hands, Eyes and Ears of Walis. So, the deny of the Wali and talk against that truthful Wali Ullah is the deny of Islam and QURAN. So please confirm it from QURAN. I also admitt here that some persons are not walis if they are not act and saying according to Quran and Sunnah like now a days to much and our illetrate brothers going towards them especially our women. So not to Testify himself that we are the only on the straight path and others are not. And thankful to Allah(SWT) in all times who make us humanbeing and not an animal. Praise to Allah(SWT) who make us muslims and not a Hindu, Christian and Jews. Can you think that after the Salafs, Allah(SWT) not sent pouis(Saleh) person till now. In ever age of life Allah(SWT) sent their men (Saleheen) for the betterment of humanbeing. We also can become Saleheen if we will do good and according to Quran and Sunnah. So, we try our best and not to waist our time because QIYAMAH is very near and we have too much less time. One thing is that in Saudi Arabia, you think here every Wahabi is very near to Islam and Quran but you dont know the act of these Wahabis, they are acting as bad as you can think in every field of life, and here Allah(SWT) not sending His AZZAB due to the prayers of Hazrat Ibrahim Al-e-Salaam and Hazrat Muhammadllah (PBUH). So fear from Allah(SWT) and think a better about all the sectors of Sunnis and especially good thinking for Wali Ullahs otherwise I describe above verse of QURAN and fear from the WAR OF Allah against those persons. Wali Ullah are not bad. And I admitt that if some Sunnis worship of Walis and Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH) in his heart they are Mushrik and I think no Sunnis worship any Wali but Allah(SWT) because our Imaan is “LA ILAHA IL-ALLAH”
The facts written in this articles are 100% true, i am even surprised, how writer has clearly differentiated in both sect in such a short article. I congratulate him for such a great article. Definitely writer done a case study in depth which is really appreciable.
Please brother Shakeel what are you trying to do.Let unite the umma.Do not take side,We are on the same side of Quran and hadith.Let us teach Quran /hadith and be a practical muslim as our beloved Prophet taught.We are muslim only.Let us have peace and harmony for once in our life.Islam is falling apart because of this fitna we are creating.Look around muslim are killing each other and if this not enough the media is adding fuel to fire.Don’t make thing worse for muslim Please please. “Salle a la nani “
Dear Abdul,
with due respect to you, pls go on internet, read news papers,books & any other sources available to you , study well. i am not the person who is spreading the hatred. In Sunni-sufi people violence is strictly prohibited. You give me a single example where a wahabi mosque or wahabi persons are killed by sunnis in even retaliation, when Dagrah are attacked by wahabis as done in Pakistan/libya. it Soudi sponsored Wahabi sect who is a generation of yazid . a black spot on Islam & because of whom image of Islam is damaged in last 100/150 years. Islam is from last 1450 years, before wahabis there were not a single act of terrorism in the worlds in the name of Islam. I am ready to debate with anybody on this & right path of islam.
dear brother don’t abuse any this article share by a madharjat kaum not by mulim
Dear Readers,
We are all muslim; We all believe in Allah, Prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon him as last Messenger .
stupid wahabis…..do you know that your sheikh ibn taimiya support milad?….

2NDLY in the quran Allah says in suratu yunus.
QUL BI FADLILLAHI WABI RAHMATIHI FAL YAFRAHU HUWA KHAIRUN MINMA YAJMA’UN
so,,ask said we should celebrate any blessing……is’t prophet muhammad SAW a blessing to us?…..
Stupid wahaby dey dnt think befor doin anythin
mtswwwwwwww
Firstly I am not a Wahabi and there is no such thing. This is a name which people like the sufi’s give those who follow the correct teachings of Islam so as to scare the masses into not knowing the truth and the gullible like yourself believe it. I have seen so many people who have not studied in Saudi or followed the same teachers or teachings of the so called wahabi scholars but just want to stick to the Quran and the Sunnah and not do anything which none of the righteous Muslims have done from the time of the Prophet to now being labeled wahabi. How ignorant can some people be. Really. A man says I am sticking to the Quran and Sunnah and you call him wahabi.
Shame on the deviant sufi’s taking one of Allah’s beautiful names and making it mean a bad thing.
You must be a sufi or at least one from those who have deviated. Sufi’s do everything the prophet (p) didn’t do and forbid and think it is ok. Through this they deny that Allah (swt) has completed the religion as he has told us in the Quran and deny that the prophet has conveyed the message completely as he (p) said to us in the final sermon of the farewell Hajj.
Open your eyes and stop being ignorant. Ibn Taymiyyah was a man and he made mistakes. We don’t denounce him for those mistakes but we take the 99% of good he gave us. Just like all the scholars before or after him. He is not specifically a wahabi imam as you claim indirectly by your statement. There were no so called wahabi’s at his time.
This goes further in showing your ignorance.
Lastly you take a book and twist the meanings of it to suit your needs. This is a common practice of the sufi’s.
He actually denounced it as did many other shaykhs.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah, in Iqtidaa’ al-Siraat al-Mustaqeem; Imaam al-Shaatibi in al-‘I’tisaam; Ibn al-Haaj in al-Madkhil; Shaykh Taaj al-Deen ‘Ali ibn ‘Umar al-Lakhami who wrote an entire book denouncing it; Shaykh Muhammad Basheer al-Sahsawaani al-Hindi in his book Siyaanah al-Insaan; al-Sayyid Muhammad Rasheed Ridaa wrote a separate essay on this topic; Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem Aal al-Shaykh wrote a separate essay on it; Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz; and others who are still writing and denouncing this bid’ah every year in the pages of newspapers and magazines, at the time when this bid’ah is being done.
Below are the excerpts from his book which are so commonly misquoted I have included the arabic just in case you feel like I am making this up you can go get a copy of this book and get someone who knows how to read arabic to confirm this for you because clearly you don’t read arabic, you just post things without verification. These actions are the actions of the hypocrites and those who are like that of sheep following blindly. May Allah guide you and those who are like you and me and all the Muslims.
In reading the various seasonal polemics these days on the Mawlid, I have come across those who, of all people, quote Shaykhul Islam Ibn Taimiyyah as a supporter of the Mawlid. They even provide two quotes three pages apart from one of his books, separated conveniently by an ellipses […]. I thought to explore this topic further in a reply which turned into such a beautiful reading that I thought I would share it with you so that maybe more justice could be done to his wise and beautiful words inshā’Allāh.
Before exploring his words, let us begin with a few important points. The title of the book that was quoted itself says a lot about Ibn Taimiyyah’s position – Iqtidaa’ al-Sirat al-Mustaqeem li Mukhaalafat ashaab al-Jaheem (Following the Straight Path in Differentiating from the Companions of the Hell-Fire). Thus, his book was primarily focused on encouraging Muslims to avoid imitating the ways of the disbelievers. In fact, the very chapter from which the quotes are taken is entitled, “The Chapter on Innovated Festivals of a Seasonal Nature”. In the early part of this chapter he provides us with a very important principle:
إذ الأعياد شريعة من الشرائع ، فيجب فيها الاتباع ، لا الابتداع
“Festivals are acts of a religious nature derived from the Shari’ah, and as such we must have a precedent to follow and not to innovate.”
Moving on to the section that is often only partially quoted, let us now translate it more fully and take some time to discover what else was mentioned in the three pages skipped over by the ellipses […]:
وكذلك ما يحدثه بعض الناس ، إما مضاهاة للنصارى في ميلاد عيسى عليه السلام ، وإما محبة للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ، وتعظيمًا . والله قد يثيبهم على هذه المحبة والاجتهاد ، لا على البدع- من اتخاذ مولد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عيدًا . مع اختلاف الناس في مولده . فإن هذا لم يفعله السلف ، مع قيام المقتضي له وعدم المانع منه لو كان خيرًا . ولو كان هذا خيرًا محضا ، أو راجحًا لكان السلف رضي الله عنهم أحق به منا ، فإنهم كانوا أشد محبة لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وتعظيمًا له منا ، وهم على الخير أحرص .
“And so is the case with what some people have innovated, either in imitation of the Christians who celebrate the birthday of Jesus (as) or out of love for the Prophet (saas) and in order to exalt him. And it may be that Allāh may reward them for this love and for the ijtihaad they made, but not for the innovation of taking the birthday of the Prophet (saas) as a festival; despite the differences regarding his actual birthday. For indeed, this was an act never performed by the earlier generations … had it been good in essence or correct Islamically, then those earlier generations (may Allāh be pleased with them) would have more right to such a deed than us, for they had greater love for the Messenger (saas) and exalted him more than we do, and they were more concerned and ardent with performing good deeds than us.”
وإنما كمال محبته وتعظيمه في متابعته وطاعته واتباع أمره ، وإحياء سنته باطنًا وظاهرًا ، ونشر ما بعث به ، والجهاد على ذلك بالقلب واليد واللسان . فإن هذه طريقة السابقين الأولين ، من المهاجرين والأنصار ، والذين اتبعوهم بإحسان . وأكثر هؤلاء الذين تجدهم حراصًا على أمثال هذه البدع ، مع ما لهم من حسن القصد ، والاجتهاد الذين يرجى لهم بهما المثوبة ، تجدهم فاترين في أمر الرسول
“And loving him and exalting him (saas) in truth is through following him, obeying him and adhering to his instructions; by reviving his Sunnah both outwardly and inwardly; by spreading the guidance with which he was sent; and by striving upon all of that with our hearts, hands and tongues. Indeed, this was the way of the foremost among the earlier generations from the Muhajireen and Ansaar and those who followed them with excellence. Whereas the majority of those whom you find enthusiastic to implement such innovations as what we have discussed – despite what they may have of good intentions and ijtihaad, and it is hoped that Allāh will reward them for these two (intention and ijtihaad) – yet you generally find them weak and apathetic in regards to adhering to the instructions of the Messenger (saas) …”
وإنما هم بمنزلة من يحلي المصحف ولا يقرأ فيه ، أو يقرأ فيه ولا يتبعه وبمنزلة من يزخرف المسجد ، ولا يصلي فيه ، أو يصلي فيه قليلًا
“Instead, they are like the one who opens the Qurʾān but doesn’t read from it, or if he reads from it, he doesn’t implement it; or like the one who decorates the masjid but doesn’t pray in it, or prays in it rarely …”
تدعو الناس إلى السنة بحسب الإمكان فإذا رأيت من يعمل هذا ولا يتركه إلا إلى شر منه ، فلا تدعو إلى ترك منكر بفعل ما هو أنكر منه … ولكن إذا كان في البدعة من الخير ، فعوض عنه من الخير المشروع بحسب الإمكان ، إذ النفوس لا تترك شيئًا إلا بشيء
He then continues by encouraging the reader with two manners in regards to dealing with such innovations, the second of them being:
“to call people to adhere to the Sunnah as best as possible. Hence, if you see someone upon such an innovation (Mawlid), and you suspect that if he leaves it then he will do something worse, then do not forbid an evil that results in a greater evil … but instead, if in any given innovation there is some good, then you should compensate for the evil within it with any legislated good that you can; for indeed the hearts don’t typically abandon something unless it is for something else.”
In case you are trying to make sense of these concepts, an example from Ibn Taimiyyah’s life itself may clarify it greatly inshā’Allāh. It has been narrated that once Ibn Taimiyyah was walking with his students when they came across some drunken Mongol soldiers. In his time, the Mongolians had invaded the Muslim lands, including Iraq where he was born, and they had decimated these lands with a degree of killing heretofore never seen. From the mercy of Allāh though, these invaders came to accept Islam even though this didn’t result in the absolute cessation of their hostilities and atrocities, but it did protect the Muslims to a greater degree alḥamdulillāh. In any case, Ibn Taimiyyah refrained from censuring these Muslim soldiers and his students asked him why he didn’t forbid the soldiers from the evil (drinking alcohol) that they were openly doing. He answered them with great wisdom by saying that when they are sober they kill Muslims, and this is a far greater evil then their drinking (lesser of two evils).
So, in summary what may seem like Ibn Taimiyyah validating or permitting the celebration of the Mawlid is in theory no different than this example. While there are some observant Muslims who do participate in these celebrations, there is also a large group of people as he observed above, who take this as another excuse for another party. It is well known in many Muslim societies what happens at Mawlids from mixing of the sexes, tabarruj (women coming out displaying their beauty), people neglecting their prayers or partying so late that they sleep through fajr, etc. Again, this is not to say that this is only what happens, but it happens often enough unfortunately.
As regards those who are observant and keen to follow the Sunnah, such people should be presented with the evidences and encouraged to repent – and it should suffice most observant Muslims that celebrating the Mawlid was never a deed that was practiced among the early generations (nor was the concept of celebrating a birthday even to be found among them) and that there is no report in the Qurʾān, hadith or statements of the Companions on this matter whatsoever. As for the less observant group, one has to use wisdom. Is it possible to try to influence these gatherings so as to reduce the mixing and tabarruj and to increase the focus on learning the life of the Prophet (saas) and his Sunnah? What good exists in any particular Mawlid celebration that we can try to build upon so as to diminish the impact of the evil that exists in it? This is the wisdom with which Ibn Taimiyyah approached this matter.
As for the remainder of the text, for completion it will be translated here as well inshā’Allāh so that one can continue to appreciate Ibn Taimiyyah’s very fair minded approach to the whole issue and to remind those who would censure others to remember their own shortcomings:
وكثير من المنكرين لبدع العبادات والعادات تجدهم مقصرين في فعل السنن من ذلك ، أو الأمر به . ولعل حال كثير منهم يكون أسوأ من حال من يأتي بتلك العبادات المشتملة على نوع من الكراهة . بل الدين هو الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر ، ولا قوام لأحدهما إلا بصاحبه ، فلا ينهى عن منكر إلا ويؤمر بمعروف يغني عنه كما يؤمر بعبادة الله سبحانه ، وينهى عن عبادة ما سواه
“And many of those who censure others in regards to innovations either in worship or traditions, you find them deficient in practicing some acts from the Sunnah in these two categories or in encouraging others to do them. And indeed it may even be that their condition is worse than some of those who are practicing these innovations that are tainted with some degree of dislike (makruh). For the religion is to command good and to forbid evil and neither of these two takes precedence over the other. So one should not forbid an evil without commanding a good to take its place in the same way that we call people to the worship of Allāh alone after having forbid them from worshipping others beside Him.”
To briefly comment on this beautiful point, we are reminded of the statement of Ibn ‘Abbaas wherein he said,
عن ابن عباس قال ما أتى على الناس عام إلا أحدثوا فيه بدعة وأماتوا فيه سنة حتى تحيا البدع وتموت السنن
“Never will a year come to pass except that its people will invent in it an innovation and kill thereby a Sunnah until the innovation is established and the Sunnah dies off.”
It is not enough to simply forbid someone from a deed, but we should help them to replace what they were upon of innovation or disobedience with something from the Qurʾān and Sunnah thereby reviving the practice of the Prophet (saas) and killing off the evils. Also, we must remember that humility is a great part of righteousness and this entails the assumption that the one to whom we are speaking is better than us. Even though they may have erred and been swept up by a certain innovation or temptation from the evils of the world, it may be that they are more sincere than us and practice more of the Sunnah elsewhere than us. This is why Ibn Taimiyyah humbly hoped that Allāh would reward them, for who knows what innovations we may unknowingly be practicing or even worse, if we have some hidden shirk within our hearts. This was among the reasons the Prophet (saas) used to encourage us with the following du‘ā’ which he taught to Abu Bakr (ra):
الشرك فيكم أخفى من دبيب النمل وسأدلك على شيء إذا فعلته أذهب عنك صغار الشرك وكباره تقول اللهم إني أعوذ بك أن أشرك بك وأنا أعلم وأستغفرك لما لا أعلم – تقولها ثلاث مرات
“The Shirk among you is more hidden than the crawling of an ant, but I shall guide you to that which if you do it, will protect you from both minor shirk and the greater type as well; to say three times:
Allahumma innee a’uthu bika an ushrika bika wa ana a’lam wa-astaghfiruka limaa laa a’lam
“O Allāh, I seek refuge in You from that I ascribe partners to You knowingly and I seek forgiveness from You for those things which I do not know.” (Sahih – Albaani, Sahih al-Jaami’ as-Sagheer; similar narration in Bukhāri’s Adab al-Mufrad)
Back to the translation though:
فتعظيم المولد ، واتخاذه موسمًا ، قد يفعله بعض الناس ، ويكون له فيه أجر عظيم لحسن قصده ، وتعظيمه لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، كما قدمته لك أنه يحسن من بعض الناس … ولهذا قيل للإمام أحمد عن بعض الأمراء : إنه أنفق على مصحف ألف دينار ، أو نحو ذلك فقال : دعهم ، فهذا أفضل ما أنفقوا فيه الذهب ، أو كما قال . مع أن مذهبه أن زخرفة المصاحف مكروهة . … إنما قصده أن هذا العمل فيه مصلحة ، وفيه أيضًا مفسدة كره لأجلها . فهؤلاء إن لم يفعلوا هذا ، وإلا اعتاضوا بفساد لا صلاح فيه ، مثل أن ينفقها في كتاب من كتب الفجور
“So to magnify the birthday of the Prophet (saas) and to take it as a seasonal celebration, as some people might do and it might be that they are rewarded greatly for their good intentions and for their exalting of the Messenger of Allāh (saas), for as I have previously mentioned that some among them do so in a good way … and in this regards it has been reported that imām Ahmad once said about one of the Muslim rulers that had reportedly spent one thousand dinaars or so for a (decorated) copy of the Qur’an, “Leave him be, for that is the best thing which gold can be spent upon”. But it is well known that the math-hab of imām Ahmad looks upon the decoration of the Qur’an as something disliked (makruh). Yet what the imām meant by his statement was that this act had some goodness in it and also some defect that we dislike. For if they were prevented from doing this act it may be that they will then turn to another deed which has no goodness in it whatsoever but is instead evil in its entirety like buying immoral books and so forth …”
In conclusion, there is no doubt that the Mawlid celebrations of our era have evolved to some degree from the time of Ibn Taimiyyah, but his principles hold true and we must approach each group, and indeed each innovation we may come across, in a way that is filled with wisdom and the sincere desire to help our Muslim brothers and sisters – whom we are commanded to love, prefer and respect – to achieve that which is over-all better for them as regards their relationship with Allāh while at the same time remembering that we may be speaking to those who despite their error may indeed be better than us and more beloved to Allāh, and Allāh knows best.
Dear Muslim Brothers and Sisters,
I think this article is written by an extremist. I am muslim sunni. But’ I don’t agree with author that He pretended wahabis as they follow Muhammad ibne Abdul wahab instead of Hazrat Muhammad (saws).
I think there is not a big difference between Sunni and Wahabi. We are entirely a one ummah who follows Hazrat Muhammad (saws).
We all are sensible. Don’t be extremist. We born muslim and we will die for islam inshallah.
You have no knowledge my brother…….you are calling salafis or ahle Hadith as Wahhabis.
Salafis strictly follow Quran and Sunnah unlike you.
You are more like story tellers and your version of Islam only exists inIndo Pak sub continent.
You people go to Makkah and don’t pray behind Imam E Kaaba because you think he is not Muslim.
May Allah guide you to the right path
@Shahid Dar…
Awesome response.
I honestly don’t know that whether I belongs to which sect but yes my faith is that THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH AND MOHAMMAD (SALLALLAHO ALEHE WAALIHE WASSALAM) IS THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH. There will not be any messenger after MOHAMMAD (SALLALLAHO ALEHE WAALIHE WASSALAM). Quran is the teaching given by Allah through Mohammad to us and we have to lead oue lives according to that. For further elaborations we have what Mohammad did and said (whether you call it ;SUNNAH or AHADITH) then why the hell are we forcing ourselves to be appointed for these unnecessarily bifurcated groups called Ahle Sunnat and Ahle Hadith?
We seriously needs to think over it….
May Allah protects all of us from all sorts of SHIRK and BIDATHS. AAMEEN!
The biggest threat to Islam from within these days is from the Wahabi, Deobandi, Tablighi, Salafi sects. This threat to an average Muslim is not obvious at all. These days they want to call themselves Sunnis to deceive gullible Muslims. It is worth mentioning to some of the misguided youngsters of the above renegade groups that the four Mazhabs, namely, the Shafi’i, the Hanafi, Maliki and Hambali, all follow the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and believe in Sunni Aqaa’id, and are not one of the 72 firqas (groups) destined for Hell.
The physical appearance of these renegades may deceive one as they decorate their deceitful faces with the Sunnat of the beard and perform compulsory acts such as Namaaz, in a most convincing manner. However, their corrupt beliefs prove that they have no true love for the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and they are the greatest insulters of the Holy Prophet and thrown out of Islam.
Who are these Deobandi/Wahabi people? This is the question raised by the Ulama of Masjid-e-Nabawi, Mufti Sheikh Umar bin Hamadan Al Maharassee, who gave a Fatwa of Kufr on Deobandi/Wahabi/Tabligh Jammaat leaders and founders nearly 100 years ago for insulting the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). This Fatwa was issued after years of study of Wahabi/Deobandi books and clarification sought from the writers of these books which were never received nor did they repent for their opinions. Some of their Aqeeda and opinions are printed in this bill.
The Wahabis/Deobandis of today are trying their best to hide what their leaders have said about the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Some of them do attend Meelad, pray Salaam on the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and even call themselves Sunni to deceive true Muslims. Majority of the Deos/Wobs are not aware of many contradictions within the Wahabi/Deobandi Aqeeda. They do not know that their leaders have a Fatwa of Kufr given on them. Most people know about Ghulam Ahmed Qadiani. They do not know that the Fatwa issued in 1320 A.H. (1900 A.D.) by 33 prominent Ulama of Makkah and Medina Shareef applied to Deobandi/Wahabi leaders: Ashraf Ali Thanvi, Khalil Ahmed Ambetwi, Rashid Ahmed Gangohi and Qassim Nanotvi as well.
No Sunni Aalim, or for that matter any Muslim could think of even one abusive thing that the Wahabi/Deobandis have written, let alone speak or write about it. The Deobandis state that the Sunni Ulama have nothing to do but issue Fatwa. But when one considers the systematic proceedure undertaken before giving the Fatwa: years of research on their books of Aqaa’id, opportunity for renouncing the statements or valid reasons sought for the views from the leaders and the refusal by their leaders to respond or repent. After this the Saliheen Ulama of Haram Shareef were then forced to issue the Fatwa before the current present Saudi Wahabi/Najdi forced themselves into power with a lot of blood shed, bombing Makkah and Madina in the process.
The penalty for insulting the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is death and this is not something invented today but it has origins from the time of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) who ordered a person to be beheaded in the Haram Shareef itself between Maqam-e-Ibrahim and Zam Zam! The person who doubts his (the person who said Kufr) infidelity is also an infidel. This is unanimously accepted by all Ulama and Mufti and there is no forgiveness for this infidelity. However, there is a way out for those who repent genuinely.
Anyone who doubts the seriousness for insulting the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) or harsh punishment for infidelity should recall the following incident. A Jew and a Munafiq went to the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) to settle a dispute. The Prophet found the decision in favour of the Jew. The two then went to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) who also gave a similar verdict. The Munafiq then asked the Jew that they should go to Sayyiduna Umar (radi Allahu anhu). They told him the story and asked for his decision. The Jew, however, told Sayyiduna Umar (radi Allahu anhu) that the Prophet of Allah had already decided in his favour. Sayyiduna Umar (radi Allahu anhu) asked both to wait. He went inside, got his sword and chopped the head of the “Muslim” Munafiq! Sayyiduna Umar (radi Allahu anhu) could not bear the insult of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) by the Munafiq due to his refusal to accept the Prophet’s (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). He did not even hear out the Munafiq. Some people thought that Sayyiduna Umar (radi Allahu anhu) had gone too far. However, Qur’anic Ayats were revealed to support his action!
There is so much uneasiness among the Wahabis about the birth of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) or his Meelad that there is no mention of his birth in many of the Wahabi Masaajids. In fact, in one of their Kuthbas, the Imaam mentioned that the Muslims were worshipping idols. This was an indirect attack on shrines of the Saints and the Prophet of Allah that the Sunnis have great respect for. The Wahabis call these shrines idols! The lack of respect and love for the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) by the Wahabi/Deobandi is clear to see.
Having read about the views and the actions of the Wahabi/Deobandi, one will need to consider his Aqeeda and action he will need to take to put his Aqaa’id on the path of Sirat-ul-Mustaqeem. One may need to take necessary, corrective steps. One cannot, for example, ignore the basic concepts such as Shafa’at of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) on the Day of Judgement which the Wahabi/Deobandi leaders have categorically rejected as stated in their Aqaa’id book, “Taqwiyatul Imaan”, as Shirk, whilst there is specific mention in support of intercession by Allah Ta’ala in the Quran to this, and the words of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in the Hadith and in the books of Sunni Aqaa’id, and all the Ulamas, and Saints all accept intercession and it is part of Sunni Aqaa’id. The evidence in support of intercession is so overwhelming that no Muslim could reject it.
The Wobs/Dobs do not believe or follow the teachings of the Mujaddid Saints and the Awliya of Allah who brought the message of Islam through the centuries. So they have to make up their own Aqaa’id as they go along, mix and match from here and there and for this precise reason they get caught contradicting themselves time and again, issuing Fatwas of Kufr on themselves indirectly.
With the Wahabis utilising vast resources against Sunni Islam, it is time all Muslims took a very serious view of the Wahabi/Deobandi Ulama and their teachings. Would one entertain these remarks directed at themselves or at their parents, let alone the Prophet of Allah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)? While people of all religions are praising their Prophets, here we see them degrading our beloved Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Would one drink from a tank of water which had only a drop poison or a drop of urine? Certainly not! So how could one dare to say or write even one word of insult against the Holy and pure personality of the Prophet of Allah? The Wahabis have written volumes of insults. One may find it difficult to extricate oneself from the machinery of Wahabism, his Wahabi friends and Aqaa’id. Like their fathers and founders, the current Wahabi leaders will never change. This could mean a loss of respect and finance from the Saudi Arabian government.
But for the Allah-fearing ordinary Muslim, he needs to make a new start, an important step that every Muslim needs to take to get rid of the Wahabi/Deobandi/Tablighi Aqaa’id. This applies to Sunnis as well who have acquired many wrong beliefs reading Wahabi/Deobandi books.
So, what is stopping Wahabis/Deobandis following the correct Sunni path? Nothing! Each is waiting for one of their friends or relations to make a move, each giving a sense of false support and security to the other when only their own deeds will save them in the Hereafter. It is dangerous to be lethargic in this matter. As stated previously, a person who makes or agrees with the statements like those stated by the Deobandi/Wahabi leaders, commits Kufr and a person who doubts their Kufr or tries to avoid calling them as Kaafirs, he himself becomes a Kaafir. This is not the Fatwa of the compilers of this bill, but the consensus of ALL Sunni Ulema since the time of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
Some Wahabis will listen to a new person in his Mosque whom he doesn’t know and who has just been converted to their way of thinking, joined the Tabligh Jammat and thinks that he is on a divine mission to save all Muslims when his knowledge of Islam is almost nil. He will not mind following the young Muslim who has been to a Wahabi madressa/Uloom for a couple of years, who knows a bit of Arabic and a smattering knowledge of Islam and goes about dishing out his own fatwas in local mosques and college and university campus, corrupting the minds of the youth, demeaning the status and the honour of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in the process.
Over the years, Wahabis and Sunni Ulema have confronted each other in Munazara (debates), in South Africa, India, UK, and many parts of the world. The Wahabis have always lost the debate, or not turned up at all. This happened in Blackburn (UK) last year when an audience of nearly 5 000 waited for the Deobandi Ulema who did not turn up for the well-publicised debate. A defeat for them would mean loss of prestige and followers to the Sunnis. A Wahabi/Deobandi is also brainwashed not to listen to Sunni Ulema, read about the Saints and the Wali Allah.
A person who comes to know about the Wahabi/Deobandi beliefs and then does not reject them, then his relationship with his family and fellow Muslims becomes untenable. It is Fardh for everyone to have knowledge and correct belief of Islam and to impart this to his children. The Mufti of Makkah Mukarramah, Mufti Jamaal bin Muhammad Hussain, has stated in his Fatwa that to expose the wrong Aqaa’id is Fardh-e-Kifaya (collective compulsory act) which imposes a duty on all Muslims to make people in their area and influence aware of the Wahabi/Deobandi views. The Ulema, the Imams, the Trustees and the Committee Members of Mosques, Muslim Organisations, Jamaats have a special duty to expose the corrupt beliefs of the Wahabis, by providing resources and Sunni publications and literature in English.
But we are nowadays surprised to find them joining in our Milad celebrations, doing Fatiha and eating Giyarwee Niaz, and any other way just to get near to us. But they will not celebrate these in their own homes or in their mosques. This is simply a ploy to deceive us. They have had quite bad publicity because of their blasphemous Aqeeda and are trying to win us over. They will never talk about these issues which are fundamentals of Muslim faith and Aqeeda. In fact, some Wahabi/Deobandi Molvis are having Zikr, Baal Mubarak Ziyarat, Khatamul Quran, etc. in their Masaajids just to deceive innocent Sunni Muslims. Previously, they regarded all these acts as Shirk and Bid’at and falsely quoted Quran and Hadith to show they are correct. Now, all of a sudden, it is O.K. What a deception! Previously, only Ijtima, Ghust, sleeping in a Jamaat Khana and Kitaab reading was a “Sunnah.” Why do they do not reject these?
Insha-Allah, we want to help those who are sincere in their belief, who want to follow the right path and who want to protect their faith from these insolent people and not close their eyes and ears to everything that is written by Sunnis, which is followed by over 90% of all Muslims in the world. This article will also help Sunni readers, who don’t read Urdu or Arabic and who have been bombarded with Wahabi/Deobandi literature, to correct and to repent for any aspect of their belief which has not been consistent with Sunni Aqaa’id.
The beliefs of these Wahabi/Deobandi are taken from their own original books, in Arabic, Urdu or Farsi. We have provided reference to quotations from their books. We have also found that the recent editions of their books have some of the derogatory remarks deleted.
The Deobandi/Wahabi/Tabligh Jammat beliefs are listed under the relevant headings together with comments and quotations from their own leaders and Aalims who have contradicted their own Aqeeda in many instances, and by doing so they have given a Fatwa of Kufr on themselves. Also, there are very many other points about their belief which we have not been able to include in this article.
“WE NEED TO FORM A NEW SECT (FIRQA).”
Deobandi/Wahabi leader and founder, Molvi Ilyas Khandalvi, states in his own book, “Deeni Dawat”, that whilst speaking to his friend, Maulvi Zahirul Hussien (M.A. Aligarh) he stated: “Zahirul Hassan! We need to form a new sect.” (Deeni Dawat, pg. 205) The founder of the Deobandi/Wahabi leader himself admits to forming a new firqa and this is a fact.
Molvi Ilyas has also stated: “Hazrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi has done a great job. I am pleased that the religious teachings are his and the method for the tabligh is mine, whereby the teachings of Ashraf Ali will spread far and wide.” (Malfuzaat, Maulana Mohammad Ilyas, pg. 57)
It is absolutely clear that the method of propagation of Islam is not that followed by the Sahaba-Kiraams, the pious or the Saints like Ghaus-al-Azam, Sheikh Abdul Qaadir Jilani, who was given the title of Muhiyuddin (The Reviver of Islam), or other Mujaddid of Islam, but one which is their own creation.
“USE ANY MEANS OR METHOD TO ATTRACT PEOPLE.”
The Molvi Ilyas goes on to say: “Think how to attract people towards religion and to get them involved in it (the same methods you use in worldly business) and attract people in the same way you can.” (Malfuzaat, Mohammad Ilyas Khandalvi, pg. 129) Here there is no mention of methods or the Sunnah of the Prophet to promote Islam but any means.
Now let us see what Molvi Ilyas Khandalvi, says in his Malfuzaat: “The practise of preaching for me is so important that if one of us is performing Namaaz, and a new person happens to enter, and when if he is not about to leave, and there is no prospect of seeing him again, then in my belief, one should break Namaaz and talk to him. Having talked to him or having stopped him from leaving, one should then recite the prayers again.” (Malfuzaat, Ilyas Khandalvi, pg. 171)
According to their Maulana, to think about the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in Namaaz is worse than adultery, but it is perfectly all right for them to think in their Namaaz about the person who has just come into the mosque and break their Namaaz!
Deobandi leader, Ashraf Ali Thanvi, writes: “A person complained to an elderly religious person that a certain person was undertaking Zikr for showing off. He replied, ‘Don’t you show off in your Zikr! That Zikr will help him cross the Pul-Sirat on the Day of Judgement.'” Maulana Thanvi then stated, “It seems the elderly person knew about the man’s showing off. I would suggest that if in any work the intention of showing off comes to mind, then don’t abandon that work. But carry out the work and make the intention that you will do the Tauba (repentance) afterwards.” (Majalis-e-Haqimul-Ummat, pg. 33)
So even Ikhlas, the essential and pure intention of any prayer for the sake of Allah Ta ‘ala, will not entertain any showing-off in Zikr by a person even if it equivalent to a mustard seed. The above prove to what extent the Wahabis will go towards spreading their religion.
“WE ARE THE HOLIER THAN THOU.”
Hardly a Tabligh/Deobandi meeting or congregation would pass without the mention of the Ayaat from the Holy Qur’aan: “Quntum khaira ummati’n ukhrijit lin-nas-e ta’moruna bil-ma’a-roof’e wa tan’haina anil-munkar wa tu’aminnon billahi.” The Ayaat mentions the Ummat of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as being better than others because the people of the Ummah are asked to do good and stop people from commiting evil. Of course the reward for work of the Prophets attract God-fearing people.
At the same time the Deobandi/Tablighi are promoting their Tablighi work and Jamaat to gullible Muslims, and their own status. Their leaders, like Maulvi Ashraf Ali Thanvi, have insulted the Prophet and Awliyas as “Worthless little than nothing.” (Taqviyatul Imaan, pg 42). And he has further added: “I keep on stating that in these times any person who does a good deed, gets the reward of 50 Abu Bakr Siddiqs (radi Allahu anhu).” (Ashrafus-Suaneh, Part 2, pg. 99)
Not to be left behind with his Fatwa, Deobandi’s Maulvi Qassim Nanotvi, states “… the followers can exceed the Prophets in their deeds.” (Tahzeeru-n-Naas, Page 25) No doubt! Gullible Muslims fall for his talk and join Tabligh Jamaat!
“DENIAL OF THE LAST PROPHET.”
Madrassa Darul-Uloom Deobandi’s Maulvi Qassim Nanotvi writes: “If maybe after the Holy Prophet’s era another did come then that would not make any difference to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) being the last Prophet, whether in his own era, his own area or other, another Prophet is proposed.” (Tahzeeru’n-Naas, pg. 25) The Holy Qur’an states: “Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, yes, he is the Messenger of Allah and the last one amongst the Prophets.” (Part 22, Ruku 1)
WAHABI LEADER: “I HAVE COME LIKE A PROPHET TO YOU.”
The founder of the Tabligh Jamaat, Maulana Ilyas, stated: “In my dream in the interpretation of the Qur’anic Ayaat, ‘Quntum khaira umma-tin ukhri-jat linn’na’se taa’mo’runa bil-ma’a-rouf’e wa tan ha’i na anil munkar wa ta’a-minun billahi,’ I was told I was sent as a Prophet to the people.” (Mulfoozat-e-Ilyas, pg. 50)
NO PROOF OF KALIMA SHARIF:”LA ILAHA ILLALLAHO MOHAMMADUR RASOOLALLAH.”
Wahabi and Deobandi Maulvi, Nazeer Hussain Delvi writes: “There is no proof for recitation (wazifa) of the whole Kalima, ‘La Ilaha Illallaaho Muhammadur Rasoolallah,’ for Wazifa purposes, there is proof for just ‘La Ilaha Illallah’.” (Fatwa Naziriah, pg. 449)
The above shows how much hatred they have for the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
The Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has said:”Those who do not believe in my intercession will have no part in it.” And also, “You will be with whom you love in the next world.” So if you die living with Deobandi/Wahabi friends and Aqaa’id, you will be with them in the Hereafter. But beware! You will not find the Prophet of Allah, the Awliya of Allah and the lovers of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in that company! May Allah give Tawfiq and true love of our beloved Prophet, Sayyiduna Muhammad Mustafa (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) to us all. Aameen. With Courtesy from SUNNI WORLD. P.O. BOX 48928. QUALBERT. 4078
Some persons believe that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is only a human being and not Noor (light). They say so based on the reason that the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) had wives, had children, and he used to eat and drink. The Aqeeda of the Ahle Sunnat Wa Jama’at is that he is both Noor and a human being.
The being and existence of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is even before that of human beings, but when he came into this world he came in the garb of a human being.
The Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has stated, “The very first thing which Almighty Allah created was my Noor.” (Tafseer Roohul Bayaan; Madarijun Nabuiwat)
Once Sayyiduna Jaabir (radi Allahu anhu) asked the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) whom Allah Ta’ala created before anything else. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) stated: “O Jaabir! Verily, before the creation of anything else, Almighty Allah created the Noor of your Nabi from His Noor.” (Muwahibul Laduniya; Zirkani Shareef)
The Sahaba of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) lived with him and observed him with his wives and children. They saw him eating, drinking, talking, etc. but still accepted him to be Noor.
We know that Sayyiduna Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) is made of Noor but when he used to appear before Sayyiduna Maryam (radi Allahu anha) he used to appear in the form of a human being. Allah Ta’ala states in the Holy Quran: “Thus he used to appear before her in the form of a healthy (well-built) man.” (Part 16, Ruku 5)
Sayyiduna Umar Farouk (radi Allahu anhu) narrates that once a person came before them. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) asked him if he knew who that person was, he replied: “Allah Ta’ala and His beloved Rasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) know better.” The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said that it was Jibraeel (alaihis salaam). (Mishkaat; Bukhari Shareef) This Hadith proves that although the Sahaba referred to Sayyiduna Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) as a man since they saw him in the form of a human being, yet they accepted that he was in actual fact an Angel made from Noor. On many instances, he came in the form of Sahabi-e-Rasool named Sayyiduna Wahia Kalbi (radi Allahu anhu).
Sayyidah Halima Sa’adiya (radi Allahu anha), the wet-nurse of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), believed the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) to be Noor. She said that when she used to feed the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) milk in his infancy, she never felt the need for a light in her house. (Bayaanul Miladun Nabwi; Tafseer Mazhari).
Sayyidah Safiya (radi Allahu anha), the aunt of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) states that on the eve of the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) she was present in his house. She said that she saw his Noor became more powerful than the light from the lamp. (Shawaahidun Nubuiwat)
Sayyiduna Ali Murtuza (radi Allahu anhu) said that when the Beloved of Allah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) spoke, Noor (light) used to be seen emerging from between his blessed teeth. (Muwahibul Laduniya; Anwaarul Muhammadiyah)
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) states that when the beloved Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) smiled, then the walls use to glow with his Noor. (Muwahibul Laduniya; Shifa Shareef)
Sayyiduna Anas (radi Allahu anhu) states that the day in which the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) arrived in Madinatul Munawwarah, everything in Madinatul Munawwarah became bright through his Noor. (Tirmizi Shareef; Ibn Majah)
Ummul Mo’mineen, Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (radi Allahu anha) is recorded to have said: “In total dark nights, I used to put the thread into a needle with the help of the Noor of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).” (Shara Shifa Bar Hashia Naseemur Riaz)
Sayyiduna Imam-e-Azam Abu Hanifa (alaihir rahmah) praises the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in the following poem: “You are that Noor that the full Moon is brightened by your Noor and you are with your beauty and elegance a shining sun.” (Qasidaul Nu’maan)
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari (radi Allahu anhu) reports: I asked: “O Prophet of Allah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), What did the Almighty Allah first create?” The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) replied: “Allah first created my Noor (Light) of His Noor. This Noor travelled about according to the Will of Allah. At that time, there was no Heaven, Hell, Lawh (Divine Tablet), Pen, Earth, Skies, Sun, Moon, Jinn or Human Beings. When He decided to create, He divided that Noor into four parts. From one part He created the Pen, from the second, the Lawh and from the third, he made the Arsh (Throne).
“He divided the fourth part into a further four parts. From one, He created those Angels who carry the Arsh, from the second, the Kursi (Divine Chair) and from the third, He created the Angels.
“He again divided the remaining parts into a further four parts. From one, He created the skies. The second was used in creating the planets. From the third, Heaven and Earth were created.
“Once again, He divided the fourth part into a further four parts. From one part He created the power with which the believers see. From the second, He created in the hearts of the Believers the Noor of Marifat. From the third, He created in the tongues of the Believers, Noor, so that they can read the Kalima of Tauheed”. (Dalaa’il-un-Nubuwwat, Imam Baihaqi)
This astonishing Hadith Shareef proves that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the life of this world and everything in it. When he is the life of this world, then everything that happens in it is clear to him and nothing is concealed from him. Who then can deny that he is not Noor (light)?
Meelad-un-Nabi or Moulood-un-Nabi or Mawlid is the Birth Celebration of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
Some people have declared Meelad-un-Nabi to be Haraam and an evil Bid’at because they say that the celebration of birthdays and anniversaries have no connection with Islam as this is an exclusive custom of the Kuffaar. They say: “in upholding these innovatory customs, Muslims are in fact imitating the Kuffaar and this our Nabi (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has strictly forbidden”.
What takes place in a Meelad celebration? In such a celebration a session of Naath (Poems in praise of Rasoolullah – sallal laalhu alaihi wasallam) recitals take place, people are fed, and a sincere effort is made to fill the hearts of Muslims with the love of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). The miracles, excellences and the character of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) are mentioned in Meelad gatherings. The Meelad functions presents one with one of the best means of learning about Rasoolullah’s (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) life.
The gatherings of Meelad-un-Nabi are a great means for calling people towards Allah Ta’ala. To mention the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in the month of his birth should be increased so that the people could arrange gatherings and congregations to refresh the memories of the Nabawi period.
It is a requirement of the Holy Quran to show respect on the Meelad of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Allah Ta’ala says: “In the bounty of Allah Almighty and His Mercy, in that, let them rejoice, that is better than the wealth they accumulate”. (Surah Yunus: 58) Almighty Allah had ordered us to rejoice on His Mercy and Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the greatest Mercy of Allah Ta’ala to all the Worlds.
In the time of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), the period of the Sahabah and in the period of the Tabi’in, Meelad was not celebrated as it is done in the present form. But the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), Sahabah or Tabi’in did not prohibit it as well. This is an accepted principle of Shari’ah that the performance of something is proof of Jawaaz (permissibility), and not doing it is NOT the proof of its prohibition.
The Meelad celebration is not compulsory. It is Mustahab (recommended). Imam Jalaaluddin Suyuti (radi Allahu anhu) said that it is Mustahab for us to celebrate Meelad of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as to thank Allah. (Ruhul Bayaan)
All the Ulema and Muslims of all the countries have regarded Meelad as Mustahab (recommended). According to the Hadith of Sayyiduna Ibn Masood (radi Allahu anhu), whichever deed is regarded as good by Muslims is good by Almighty Allah as well, and whichever deed is regarded as evil by Muslims is evil by Almighty Allah as well. Imam Ahmed (radi Allahu anhu) has narrated this Hadith Shareef.
Although the present form of Meelad is a Bid’ah (innovation) (Bid’ah Hasanah or Good Innovation), but the origin of Meelad is found in the time of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) himself made mention of his own Meelad by saying, “I am the Du’a of my father Sayyiduna Ebrahim (alaihis salaam), I am the good tidings of ‘Isa (alaihis salaam), and I am the son of the two slaughtered ones (Sayyiduna Ismail – alaihis salaam and Sayyiduna Abdullah – radi Allahu anhu).”
The Holy Prophet’s (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) uncle and an arch enemy of Islam, Abu Lahab, set his slave Thuwaiba free being happy for the Meelad of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Abu Lahab’s punishment is made light every Monday as a reward of his act, i.e. of expressing happiness for the birth of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). (Bukhari Shareef)
When the assembly of Zikr of the beloved Rasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) takes place, a Muslim is happy and joyful, therefore, he invites people to partake in the food provided, he gives charity and distributes sweatmeats. To feed people after an important or virtuous deed is the practice of the Sahaba.
It is Sunnah to commemorate happiness. Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was asked about fasting on a Monday. He replied, “I was born on that day and Wahi (Revelation) began upon me on that day.” (Mishkat) It is now proven that to keep fast on a Monday is Sunnah because Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was born on that day.
Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) used to respect the day of his own Meelad. He used to thank Allah Ta’ala for that great favour. He used to fast in order to respect that day.
Meelad celebration causes the recitation of Durood and Salaam. Durood and Salaam are required by Shari’ah.
When certain of the Sahabah used to recite the praises of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in poetry form, Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) used to rejoice and reward those Sahabah. In the Meelad function, the character and virtues of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) are explained and his praises are recited in poetry and prose form.
To mention the miracles and character of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) leads towards love and the completion of Iman with him, which is required by the Shari’ah.
Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) expressed the virtues of Jummah (Friday) by saying that Sayyiduna Adam (alaihis salaam) was born on that day. Therefore, imagine the virtue of that day when Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was born!
Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said that anyone who invented a good deed and people later practiced upon it, they will be rewarded. Meelad is a good deed.
Allah Ta’ala says in the Holy Quran: “And all that We relate to you of the tiding of the Messengers is for the purpose of strengthening your heart therewith”. (Surah Hud: 20) We are in need of strengthening our hearts with the mentioning of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and other Prophets (alaihihimus salaam) and the Meelad gives us this opportunity.
Sayyiduna Imam Shafi’i (alaihir rahmah) said: “Any thing which opposes (or changes) the Quraan, Sunnah, Ijma (consensus) or the sayings of the Sahabah is Bid’ah. Any good deed which is not opposed to them is praiseworthy”. (Meelad celebration does not oppose any of them)
As in the practices of Haj, the running between Safa and Marwa are legal in order to refresh the remembrance of pious people. Similarly, the celebration of Meelad-un-Nabi is also legal to refresh the remembrance of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
Sayyiduna Moulana Abdus Sammi’ (alaihir rahmah) has counted 73 names of great scholars of Islam who wrote about the validity of Meelad celebrations. (Anwaare Saati’a)
Allama Jalaaluddin Suyuti (alaihir rahmah) writes: “The Shari’ah commanded Aqeeqah on the birth (of a child). This is a way to thank Allah and rejoice, but on the time of death no such commandment has been given. In fact, mourning and grieving is prohibited. The same principle of Shari’ah demands that happiness and the joy should be expressed in Rabi-ul-Awwal on the birth of the beloved Rasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and not grieve on his Wisaal (Departure from this world)”. (Husnul Maqsad Fee Amalil Moulid Al Haawi Lil Fatawa)
Imam Suyuti (alaihir rahmah) writes about Meelad: “According to me, gatherings, recitations of the Quran, mentioning incidents of the holy life of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and mentioning those signs which appear at the time of his birth are amongst the good innovations in which a person is rewarded because in this there is respect, love and expression of happiness for the arrival of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)”. (Al Haavi Lil Fataawa)
Imam Qastalaani (alaihir rahmah) writes: “In the month of the birth of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) Muslims always had assemblies. In the nights of that month they gave charities and expressed happiness. They always increased good deeds in those nights. They always made arrangements to read the Meelad of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) with the auspicious (hope) that Allah Ta’ala showers His blessings upon them. One of the experienced Barakah (blessing) of Meelad is that the year passes upon them peacefully. May Allah Ta’ala send His Blessings and Favour upon that person who took Meelaad-un-Nabi as Eid, so this Eid should become reason of hardness upon that person who has disease in his heart”. (Mawahe bul Le Dunya)
Sayyiduna Sheikh Abdul Haqq Muhaddith Delwi (alaihir rahmah) writes: “All Muslims have always celebrated Meelad functions in the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal. They always gave charities in the nights of that month and expressed their happiness. This is a common practice of Muslims that they particularly make mention of those incidents which are related to the birth of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)”. (Ma Sabata Bis Sunnah)
Mullah Ali Qari (alaihir rahmah) writes: “Firstly, we see that it is permissible to arrange an assembly of Meelad. It is permissible to participate in that assembly for the purpose of listening to the praises and character of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Inviting people and expressing happiness is permissible. Secondly, we do not say that it is Sunnah to celebrate Meelad on any fixed night. Anyone who believes that it is Sunnah to celebrate Meelad on any fixed night (and not in any other night) is a Bid’ati because the Zikr of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is required all the time. Yes, in the month in which Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was born, has more preference”. (Al Mouridur-ravi fil Moulidin Nabi)
Allama Ibn Abedeen Shami (alaihir rahmah) writes: “Every person who is truthful in the love of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) should express happiness in the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal. He should arrange an assembly for the Meelad of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in which the incidents of his birth are explained with correct Ahadith. There is a strong hope from Allah that such a person will be included in the group of pious people with the intercession of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)”. (Jawahi Rul Bihaar)
We do not fix a particular day or night for the Meelad and believe that Meelad is not Ja’iz (permissable) on any other date. It is our view that whosoever does such an act does so out of ignorance because the love and the relation to the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) demands that one should always mention him continuously.
No Muslim ever regards the Meelad function as being more important than Salaah. Music or Qawwali is not sung at a Meelad. If anyone has Qawwali with music in a Meelad function then he or she should be stopped and told that it is not correct. If Na-Baligh (immature) boys and girls read in Meelad functions, there is nothing wrong with that. Baaligha (mature) girls do not read at all in Meelad functions. If in any function a Baaligha girl reads a Naat in front of the audience, that will not make the Meelad Haraam. Rather, people should be told about the illegitimacy of this act. The reading of Baligh boys in front of an audience is Ja’iz (permissable). There is no proof in Shar’iah against it unconditionally.
Women sit in Meelad gatherings separate from men with necessary Shari’ Hijab. The Shari’ limit of Hijab for women is that they must cover the whole body besides the face, both hands and feet. Their hair must be covered and the clothes must not be so thin that the colour of the body may be seen. In the light of the Holy Quran, Hadith and Fiqh it is not compulsory for woman to cover the face, hands and feet from a Ghair Mahram. (N.B.: It is Mustahab for women to cover the whole face and not Waajib)
I think this shall answer your doubts saying that the holy prophet Mustafa p.b.u.h is not noor astagfirullah u say everything is bidah wen u not know things u do yourself iss bidah but the diffenrence is it is good bidah e.g. Tarawe prayer the holy prophet p.b.u.h use to pray on his own an these days we all pray in congregration why is that ?? Is thiis not bidah then ? Answer if u can traitors of islam
Now let’s look what the holy prophet p.b.u.h said about such deviant sects e.g wahabism
TABLEEGHI JAMAAT IN THE HADITH
The Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) has prophesied that many individuals and religious sects will cause dissension and mischief till the Day of Judgment. He has made a particular reference to the Wahabi Movement.
Hazrat Abu Huzaifa (Radiallahu Anhu) narrates a Hadith concerning the leaders of the mischief makers: “I swear by Allah that the Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) has not left out a single leader of Fitna from this day to the Day of Qiyamah. Their followers would number 300 or more and further gave their names and that of their tribe.” (Abu Dawood)
FIRST HADITH
Imam Bukhari (Radiallahu Anhu) quotes this Hadith from Abdullah ibn Umar (Radiallahu Anhu) that the Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) once prayed for Syria (Shaam) and Yemen. It is narrated that there were some people of Najd also present in the gathering and requested the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) to make Dua for Najd also. The Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) continued saying: “0! Allah, Shower Blessings on Shaam and Yemen.” The people of Najd again requested the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) to offer prayers for Najd. The Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: “It is a place of tremor and Fitna (Mischief) and the horn of Shaitaan will rise from there.” (Bukhari Shareef)
It can be deduced from the above Hadith that Najd is neither blessed nor a good place but one of Fitna and Evil. Najd has been deprived of the prayers of the Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) and therefore has the seal of misery and misfortune and hoping for any good from there is going against the Will of Allah.
The Arabic word used in the above Hadith is Qarnush Shaitaan, which normally means the horn of Shaitaan. But the ‘Misbahul Lughaat’, a dictionary printed in Deoband has the following meaning: “One who follows the advice of Shaitaan.” (Misbahul Lughaat, pp/663). Thus we learn that a Najdi/Wahabi group will emerge, as pointed out by Rasoolullah (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) and this group will follow the advice of Shaitaan (Shaitaan refuses to respect Prophets and Saints, remember his refusal to bow to Hazrat Adam – Alayhis Salaam – as mentioned in the Quran.). It will create havoc in the Muslim world. We are now witnessing the emergence of the Wahabis who, with the assistance of petro-dollars, are sweeping the Muslim world and are bribing them into accepting Wahabism as the official version of Islam. Wahabism is a disease but so many are misled into believing that it is curing the Ummah of Shirk, Kufr and Bidah. It is being portrayed as a revivalist movement. This is against the Ahadith. Looking at the geographical position of Najd, it lies to the east of Medina. The Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) pointed towards the east and said: “There, that is the direction from where Fitna will emerge.”
SECOND HADITH
Abdullah bin Umar (Radiallahu Anhu) narrates in Muslim Shared: “The Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) once emerged from the room of his wife, Hazrat Ayesha (Radiallahu Anha) and pointing towards Najd exclaimed: ‘This is the centre of Kufr from where the horn of Shaitaan will rise.’” (Muslim Shareef, Vol. ii, pp/394)
THIRD HADITH
Allama Dahlan narrates an authentic Hadith in his book “Addarus Sunniah”, which he has quoted from Sihaah. The Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) is reported to have said: “There will rise a group of people in the East who will recite the Holy Quran, but alas, the Quran will not go beyond their throat. This group will keep rising till the Day of Judgement and they will eventually rise with Dajjal.” “Their main symbol will be to sit in groups.” (Halqa) (from Bukhari Sharief, Vol. iii)
It will be noted from the above Hadith that the center of Kufr and Shaitaan is situated on the East of Medina. You will also note that Najd also lies on the East of Medina from where a group of so-called Muslims will recite the Holy Quran but it will not penetrate beyond their throat. They will invite the masses towards the Holy Quran and religion. Now, if you examine the situation carefully, one would observe without any fear of contradiction, that reference is made to no other Group besides the notorious Tableeghi Jamaat whose one end is in Delhi and the other is implanted in Najd (Riyadh).
CONFIRMATION BY MOLWI MASOOD AALAM NADWI
The above Nadwi writes in his well known book “Muhammad Ibnê Abdul Wahab” – on the side commentary: “The Southern part of Najd has the famous town of Riyadh, the Capital of his (Wahabi) headquarters in Dariya. Both these villages are in the valley called Waadi Hanifa (situated in Najd).” (pp/16)
Allama Dahlaan has quoted these Ahadith from the Sihaah: The Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: “During the initial part of my Dawah in Mecca, I particularly invited the outside tribes who used to arrive during the Hajj season. From all these tribes the most hostile and ugly reaction was from the Banu Hanifa tribe.” (The same tribe in which Ibné Abdul Wahab was born. He founded Wahabism which is being followed by the Tableeghi Jamaat) (Addarus Sunniah, pp/52)
He quotes a further Hadith: Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (Radiallahu Anhu) reports that the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: “From the tribes that live in Waadi Hanifa, fitna shall emerge till the final era. That valley shall be notorious for its fitna because of the rise of false leaders.” (pp/52)
Hazrat Imraan, the son of Hazrat Haseen (Radiallahu Anhu) reports that the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) disliked three tribes life long. (1) Banu Saqeef (2) Banu Hanifa (3) Banu Umayya (Tirmizi Shareef)
FOURTH HADITH
It is reported in Mishkat from Hazrat Abu Said Khudri (Radiallhu Anhu) who narrates that: “Once we were in the presence and company of the Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam). He was distributing booties (Spoils of War) when a person named Zul-Khawaisara who was from the tribe of Bani Tamim addressed the Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam): “Oh Muhammad Be Just!”
The Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) replied: “A Great pity that you have doubts, if I am unjust then who will be just you are a loser and a failure.”
Zul-Khawaisara’s attitude infuriated Hazrat Umar (Radiallahu Anhu) and he pleaded with the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) to permit him to slay Zul-Khawaisara. The Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) remarked: “Leave him as his slaying will serve no good purpose as he is not the only individual but there are a host of others like him and if you compare their prayers and fasting to that of yours, you yourself will feel ashamed. These are the people who will recite the Quran but it will not go beyond their throats, with all these apparent virtues they will leave the fold of Deen just like the arrow leaves the bow.” (Miskhat Shareef pp /535).
FIFTH HADITH
The previous Hadith has also been narrated as follows: “A person with eyes protruding, with a long beard and head clean-shaven came to the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) and declared: ‘O Muhammad (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) fear Allah.’”
The Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) replied: “If I disobey Allah then, who else will obey Him? I am obedient to Allah at all times and never disobedient. Allah has sent me as Amin (Honest) for the entire world, but you don’t accept me as an honest man?”
A Sahabi (Companion) became infuriated and sought permission to remove him from the presence of the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam). The Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) prevented the Sahabi from doing so. After the person had left, the Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: “From his progeny will rise a Group who would recite the Holy Quran but it will not go below their throats. They will leave the Deen just as an arrow leaves the bow-string. They will kill the Muslims but spare the idolators. If I ever confronted these people I would slaughter them just as the people of Aad had been destroyed.” (Mishkat Shareef pp/535)
SIXTH HADITH
Shareekh Ibn Shihab (Radiallahu Anhu) also narrates a similar incident of a person who displayed disrespect towards the Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam). He states: “The Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: ‘Nearing Qiyamat there will be a Group of people who will recite the Holy Quran but it will not go below their throat. They will leave the true Religion of Islam as fast as the arrow leaves the bow. They will be recognised by the shavings of their entire head and they will move in Groups and their last Group will emerge with Dajjal. When you meet them you will discover their nature and character the worst of its kind’.” (Mishkat, pp/309 – Prints may vary and pages may be djfferent in other publications)
The afore-mentioned Hadith are the words of a Great and Noble Prophet of Allah (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) who is the possessor of Unseen Knowledge, who knows the signs and the secrets of the future.
All Praise is due to Allah, that we do not have to search far for that Group as the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) had mentioned the different signs of this notorious Group that we are able to detect our enemies without difficulty.
Other signs mentioned in recognizing this particular Group is that they will be so punctual and devoted to their Salaat that one will feel ashamed of one’s own Salaat compared to theirs. It is obvious that these qualities are prevalent amongst the Tableeghi Jamaat. For example, you will agree that there are thousands of individuals, nay, many millions of individuals that are performing Salaat for a period of over 40 to 50 years, and yet, they do not possess a sign on their forehead (sign of Sajda) whereas very surprisingly, the devotees of the Tableeghi Jamaat get the mark of Sajda on their forehead within a few weeks! The reason for this is very clear, they deliberately press and rub their foreheads on the mussallah to obtain the much-coveted mark. This is to display to the Muslims, their so-called piousness. Another sign of this Group is that they will consider all other persons as being inferior to them and even those of high standing in society are looked down upon by them. The most glaring sign of recognizing these people is their constant attempts in degrading the Prophets, Ambiya and Aulia (Prophets and Saints).
These signs are prevalent amongst the Tableeghi Jamaat. They look down upon all the Sunni Muslims who are, without any doubt, true and devout Muslims. They openly challenge the Ulema and Imams. They engage in discussions and arguments on matters, which they themselves do not understand, and yet they have the audacity to degrade the Status and the Glory of the Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam).
In the fifth Hadith it is mentioned that another sign of this notorious Group is that they will shed the blood of fellow Muslims and will have no dispute whatsoever, with the idolators. This glaring sign is also present in the present Tableeghi Jamaat. You have often witnessed or heard that in certain Musjid the Tableeghi Jamaat had a dispute or in a certain Musjid the Tableeghi Jamaat had come with sticks, chains, knives, etc. You have also noticed that when and wherever they fight it is always with the Muslims and not the Kafirs and Mushriks (Polytheists). You may have also noticed that when or wherever they confront the Kafirs or Mushriks, which is seldom or never, they tug their ‘tails’ between their legs and run. This is true in India, during Hindu Muslim Riots.
In the sixth Hadith it was mentioned that a peculiar sign of this Group will be the shaving of their head completely. This act is now reckoned to be its sign and emblem as such they advise their followers and Mureeds (Disciples) to also shave their heads and therefore you will notice that most of them are bald.
A STRANGE FACT
The Arabic word ‘Thaleeq’ (Shaving) as used in the Ahadith must be taken into consideration. The common translation of the word ‘Thaleeq’ is clean shaving of the entire head. The Deoband scholars in “Misbahul Lughat” – page 148, give it’s meaning as: To turn around and sit in a circle. This translation fits as a glove with the Movement of the Tableeghi Jamaat, the one translation is regarding the moving around and the other indicating their sitting in circles in Masjids and doing Kitaab-reading as a splinter group, detached from the other Musallies. They cut across the Imam and display a defying attitude. They never read the Quran. They love the Kitaab written by Molwi Zakariya. They will never participate in Khatamul Quran organised in Mosques on certain nights or auspicious nights. If the Imam is delivering Tafseerul Quran, or Darsé Hadith or Fiqah lessons or even Zikrullah, these people never take part, as if they are the only super-Muslims and everybody else are 3rd grade! These Tableeghis are programmed internationally to behave in this manner. It is not peculiar to any country. This is their global strategy to de-stabilise the Muslims. The anti-Muslim West has realised that they cannot break the Muslims from outside. They will have to use a group of hypocrites who will use Western financial resources, and creep in Muslim Society, systematically dismantling them and fragmenting them. Remember, all this is done in the Name of establishing the Sunnah and “The Mubarak Tareeqa of our Beloved Rasoolullah (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam),” as claimed by them!
Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (Radiallahu Anhu) and Hazrat Anas (Radiallahu Anhu) report that the Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) stated: “My Ummat is destined to differ and be divided. So a group will arise whose talks will sound very good but their character will be misleading. They will read the Quran but it will not descend below their throats (just oral reading). They will leave Deen just as an arrow pierces and goes right through the prey. They will not return to Islam. They are the worst of creation because of their nature and constitution. They will call the people towards the Quran and Deen whilst in reality they will have nothing to do with Islam. Whoever will confront them, he will be the most beloved servant of Allah. The Sahaba enquired: “Ya Rasoolullah, (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) what is their sign?” He replied: “Sitting in a Halqa (circle).” (Mishkat Shareef pp/3O8)
SEVENTH HADITH
Hazrat Ali (Radiallahu Anhu) once narrated: “I swear by Allah that to fall from the sky to the earth is very simple for me, but to utter one false word in reference to the Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) is a very difficult and impossible task for me.”
Hazrat Ali (Radiallahu Anhu) then narrated as follows: “I heard the Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) as saying that as the Day of Qiyamah approaches, there will appear a Group of Youths with a low mental capacity and understanding. Apparently they will talk of good but their Imaan will not go beyond their throat and they will leave the true Deen like an arrow leaves the prey. Wherever you find them, you should make Jihaad with them. (Bukhari Shareef pp/1024)
EIGHTH HADITH
The following Hadith is reported by Hazrat Abu Naim (Radiallahu Anhu) in his book entitled “Huliya”.
Hazrat Abu Umana Bahili (Radiallahu Anhu) narrates that the Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: “Before the Day of Qiyamah, they (Tableeghi Jamaat) will spread and attack bitterly like the small and the large insects and whosoever witnesses this period must seek refuge in Allah.” (Huliya)
Hazrat Hassan Basri (Radiallahu Anhu) narrated the following hadith: “The Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said that there will come a time when people will speak of worldly affairs in the Masjid and when this period arrives, keep away from such people as Allah has no relation with them.” (Mishkaat)
In the previous Hadith above it is stated about that Group consisting of youths of low mental capacity and understanding. If one desires to confirm this sign then one has to go to their Ijtima (as an observer) and one would find people of both these categories. You will also notice that a great number of ignorant people joining the Tableeghi Jamaat with the idea in mind that they are doing a great service to Islam. You will also find a group of little children from schools, colleges, madressas and the general public who, without thinking or understanding, join the Tableeghi Jamaat in the belief that they are rendering a religious service. These innocent, simple-minded individuals unwittingly become a target of their deception and fraud. Thus, many youth and unwary persons have unconsciously joined the Tableeghi Jamaat due to their mis-leading tactics.
In the eighth Hadith it is stated that before Doomsday the ‘Mullahs’ will multiply like the insects and the Musjids will be turned into a village pavilion or rural club. It is apparent from observation and experience that the Tableeghi Jamaat is a living picture of this Prophecy. There are a great number of individuals who by merely reading a few pages of the “Tableeghi Nisab” (Teachings of Islam) automatically become Moulvies and Alims. These so-called ‘Mullahs’ show utter disrespect and disregard for the Great Ulema who have spent the best and greater part of their lives in attaining Islamic Knowledge at reputed Colleges and Universities, here and abroad.
The state of Musjids has now become the center of various activities besides a place of Worship. These ‘gypsies’ (Tableeghi Jamaat members) have transformed the Musjid into a hostel, with canteen and sleeping hall and engage in other worldly affairs. This disgraceful and tormenting attitude towards the Musjid is both shocking and disheartening.
NINTH HADITH
Sayed Allama Dahlan (Rahmatullahi Alaihi) quotes in his book ‘Addarus Sunnia’ an authentic Hadith of the Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) which states: “There will be a Group of people emerging from the East who will recite the Holy Quran but it will not go down their throat. They will leave the folds of Islam like an arrow leaves the bow never to return. A feature to recognise this Group is that their heads would be shaven clean.” (Addarus Sunnia, pp/49)
From the above Hadith it will be noted that since they deviate from the truth it is impossible for them to return to the Right Path. This Hadith could be put to a simple test by yourself, for the sake of confirmation of your doubts, if any, then confront a staunch follower of the Tableeghi Jamaat and try and influence him a thousand times and try to rid him of his false belief and not to associate with those who degrade the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) and to believe in the true status of the Aulia Allahs (Saints). Surprisingly, you will note that your attempts and confrontation will fall on deaf ears and they will neither return to the truth nor will they try to reason and see the truth.
Mohaddith Kabir Imam Abu Ya’la (Rehmatullah Alay) narrates a Hadith from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (Radiallahu Anhu) and the Author of ‘Ibriz’ who states: “Hazrat Anas Bin Malik (Radiallahu Anhu) narrates that in Medina, there lived a very ‘pious’ youngster. One day we made reference about this youngster to the Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam). In spite of the Sahaba describing the youngster’s features and character to the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam), the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) was unable to recognise the youngster made mention of. However, a few days later, whilst we were in the company of the Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam), the young man passed that way. On seeing the young man, the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) exclaimed: ‘I see the scabs of Shaitaan imprinted on his face.’ The youngster then approached the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) and made salutation. The Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) then said to him: ‘Is it not true that right now you are thinking that there is no one better than yourself here.’ The youngster then replied: ‘Yes, these thoughts did pass my mind.’ He then walked away into the Musjid. The Prophet then enquired as to who will kill this person. Hazrat Abu Bakr (Radiallahu Anhu) volunteered to do so and entered the Masjid and saw the person he was to kill engrossed in performing his Salaat and he remembered a Hadith of the Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) which prohibited one from killing a person who is performing his Salaat and returned to the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam).
The Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) again enquired as to who will kill the youngster, this time Hazrat Umar (Radiallahu Anhu) volunteered to kill him and entered the Musjid and found the youngster performing his Sajda and with the same thoughts as Hazrat Abu Bakr (Radiallahu Anhu), Hazrat Umar (Radiallahu Anhu) returned to the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam). For the third time the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) again enquired who will kill the youngster, this time Hazrat Ali (Radiallahu Anhu) volunteered to do so, the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: ‘You will surely kill him, if you find him.’
When Hazrat Ali entered the Musjid, he was surprised to see that the youngster was no longer in the Musjid and he too like the others returned to the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam). The Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: ‘If you had only killed him then all the Fitna in my Ummah till Day of Qiyamah would have been wiped out and no two persons in my Ummah would have fought between themselves.’” (Ibreez Shareef. pp/277, Author Allama Shah AbdulAziz Dab baag (Rehmatullah Alay)).
The Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) informed the Sahaba (Companions) that among my Ummah will rise a Group of people who will recite the Quran, invite to good talks, will be punctual for their Salaat and will be mindful of their fasting, yet they will have no relation with Islam. With this confusion in their minds the Sahaba asked the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) to forecast a sign to recognise this particular Group of people. The Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) replied that their heads will be shaven clean or sitting in circles.
Let us all fervently pray to Almighty Allah, with the Grace and Blessings of the Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) that Allah grants protection to all true Muslims from this false and strayed Sect.
I invite you to be impartial and ask yourself one question. Where is that group which the Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) described so vividly in so many Ahadith? Is it so difficult to pinpoint them? Surely these prophetic statements are a pen-portrait of Tableeghi Jamaat.
SUMMARY OF AHADITH
(1) Zul Khuwaisra – the man who showed so much disrespect to the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) was from the tribe of Bani Tamim. The Prophet (Sallalaahu Alayhi Wasallam) foretold that the Wahabi group who will cause much Fitna will be the offsprings of the above Munaafiq.
Alama Dahlaan, the celebrated Historian of our era writes: “Zul Khuwaira was of the Banu Tamim tribe and so was Ibné Abdul Wahab Najdi.” (Addarus Sunniah, pp/51) These Ahadith certainly do not fit the Kharajees because they were not the offsprings of Bani Tamim. Shah Abdul Haq, the great Muhaddis of Delhi writes: “The Kharajees were not the descendants of Zul Khuwaisra.” (Ashatul Lamaat, Commentary on Mishkat, pp/535)
Moulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar has made the following observations about the Wahabi Najdi Jamaat: “The hands of the Najd and Najdis are red with the blood of Muslims. This is their only achievement. Now too, there are hostilities with the Yamenis, and a war is looming.” (Ma qaalaaté Muhammad Au, Part 1, pp /37)
