Jamaa'ah at-Tableegh:
Teachings of Shirk in the book
-"Fadhaa.il A'maal" - Part
1
Tableeghi Jamaat: Teachings of
Shirk
in the Book -"Fadhaa.il
A'maal" (popularly referred to
as - " Fazail Amal")
Part 1: Readings in
"Fadhaa.il Durood"
All praise is due to Allaah. We
praise Him, seek His help and forgiveness.
And we seek refure in Allaah the Most High
from the evils of our ownselves and from
our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides
none can misguide him and whomsoever Allaah
misguides there is none to guide such an
individual. I bear witness that there is no
true god worthy of being worshipped except
Allaah alone, without partner or associate.
I further bear witness that Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) is His slave and Messenger. May
Allaah the Exalted bestow his peace and
blessings on the final messenger Muhammad,
upon his family, his noble companions and
all those who follow them.
To Proceed:
That the most truthful speech is
the Qur.aan, the word of Allaah and the
best of guidance is that of Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam). And the worst of affairs in
this religion of ours are the innovations
and every innovation is a Bid`ah
and every Bid`ah
is misguidance and every misguidance is in
the hell fire.
This paper which is the first in
its series is being compiled in order to
inform the Muslim who yearns and strives to
know Islaam. The Islaam as revealed by
Allaah (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala) on His final Messenger
(sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam); free from any alterations,
deletions and additions. But today a dark
shadow has been cast over the truth. Shirk
and Bid`ah
have a firm grip on the Muslims. Falsehood
has worn the garb of righteousness and the
ignorant ones the robes of the
scholar.
Illegitimate partisanship to
one's group, party and organisation has
divided the hearts of the Muslims. The
rules of the party and groups transcend the
laws of the Qur.aan and authentic Sunnah. False
interpretation of the verses of the Noble
Qur.aan and incidents of Seerah to suit the
agenda of the party are rampant
today.
One such group is the
"Jamaa'at at-Tableegh" or the
"Tableeghi Jamaat." This party
came into existence in the 1920s. Many
Muslims claim it to be a creation of the
colonial British in order to divide the
hearts of the Muslims with false 'aqeedah and
suppress the spirit of Jihaad
but the adherents to the Qur.aan, Sunnah
and of the Manhaj of the Pious Predecessors
do not indulge in conspiracy theories and
only concern themselves with what is real
and apparent. The Tableeghi Jamaat takes
its teaching from the book "Fadhaa.il
A'maal" (Virtues of the deeds)
authored by Muhammad Zakaria Kandalvi on
the suggestions put forward by Ashraf
'Ali Thanvi, the two so called greats
of the school of Deobandh in India.
Today, the Tableeghi Jamaat is
considered to be the largest
"evangelical group" calling
Muslims to prayer, fasting, Hajj
etc. Those who ascribe themselves to this
Jamaat CLAIM that the book
"Fadhaa.il A'maal" (also
known as Tableeghi Nisaab) is the
collection of various verses from the
Qur.aan and ahaadeeth
describing the virtues and great rewards of
Hajj,
Zakaah, Salaah, Dhikr etc.
BUT a close examination of this book
in the light of Qur.aan and authentic Sunnah
reveals horrendous teachings of Shirk,
innovations, lies on the Messenger of
Allaah, belittling the pious generation of
the noble companions and the scholars.
Indeed, in the name of loving the Prophet
(sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) and the Righteous People, Shaytaan has
seduced this firqah and enticed them into
Shirk
and Kufr -
to which they appear to be so blind.
This paper and further studies
into the book will provide irrefutable
arguments along with accurate references to
prove, inshaa.-Allaah,
that the ideology propagated in this book
is nothing but grave worship, supplication
to other than Allaah and to prove that the
'aqeedah
(beliefs) propagated in this book has
nothing to do with Islaam but with Paganism
and may Allaah (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala) protect us from
it.

Shirk in
the Section "Fadhaa.il Durood"
(Virtues on sending salutations on the
Prophet)
[As for sending salaat and salaam
upon the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam), then it is indeed one of the
greatest of virtues and most praiseworthy
acts. And the manner of sending salaat and
salaam has been indicated in the Authentic
Sunnah, and is far
removed from the lies and fabrications you
will soon read in this paper, from the
books of Jamaa'at-ut-Tableegh. What is
important to note is the great fabrications
and exaggerations that have been made,
around the subject of sending salaat and
salaam upon the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) and which are known to be such
in the most evident and clearest of
ways.]
1) The 'aqeedah of
grave worship in "Fadhaa.il
Durood"
It is the belief of every Muslim
that invoking and supplication to other
than Allaah (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala) (ex: angels, saints,
dead prophets, scholars) in times of
distress or ease with the anticipation that
that being has the ability to cause the
removal of distress and suffering, or that
by that being's intermediation,
distress and suffering is removed, is an
act of Shirk.
Allaah (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala) has said in the Noble
Qur.aan (meaning of which):
{And
invoke not besides Allaah any such that
will neither profit you nor hurt you, but
if (in case) you did so, you shall
certainly be one of the Zaalimoon
(polytheists and wrongdoers)},
[Soorah
Yoonus, Aayah
106]
Also from the authentic ahaadeeth.
Reported 'Aa.ishah (radhi-yallaahu
'anhaa): "Umm Salamah
mentioned to Allaah's Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) that in Abyssinia she saw a
church full of pictures and statues. He (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) said:
((When a
righteous man or pious worshipper among
them dies they build a place of worship
over his grave and set up all kinds of
pictures and statues. They are the worst of
all creatures before Allaah. They combine
two evils; worshipping at the graves and
making graven images and
statues)), [Reported by Bukhaaree and Muslim].
Also in al-Bukhaaree and Muslim it is reported
that 'Aa.ishah (radhi-yallaahu
'anhaa) narrated: "When the
death approached Allaah's Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) he began to draw a piece of
cloth (bed sheet) over his face, (sometimes
covering and sometimes removing because of
distress), he (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) said in this state:
((Allaah's curse be upon the
Jews and Christians for taking the graves
of their Prophets as places of
worship)), thus he (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) warned the people about their
actions."
Muslim reported from
Jundub bin 'Abdullaah (radhi-yallaahu
'anhu) who narrated: I heard the
Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) say only five days before his
death:
((I am
free and clear towards Allaah of having any
of you as my Khaleel (specially close
friend). Verily, Allaah has taken me as His
Khaleel just as He had taken Ibraaheem (`alayhis-salaam)
as a Khaleel. If I would have taken anyone
from my Ummah as a Khaleel, I would have
taken Abu Bakar (radhi-yallaahu
'anhu) as a Khaleel. Beware! those
who preceded before you, used to make their
Prophet's graves into places of
worship. Beware! Don't take (any)
graves as places of worship. I forbid you
to do so))
He (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) forbade this at the end of his
life. After this (forbidding of taking
graves as place of worship), he cursed
anyone who did such deed within this
context.
Imaam Abu Haneefah said:
((It is
not befitting for anyone to call upon Him,
except by Him, and with the supplication
that He has permitted and commanded, that
which is instructed in His
statement:
{And
Allaah has Beautiful Names, so call upon
Him by them, and leave the company of those
who deviate concerning His Names. They will
be recompensed for what they used to
do})), [Soorah
al-A'raaf, Aayah
180], [ad-Durrul-Mukhtaar ma'a
Haashiyah Raddul-Mukhtaar
(6/396-397)]
Abu Haneefah said:
((It is
detested for the supplicator to say:
"I ask You by the right of so and
so", or, "By the right of Your
Prophets and Messengers, and by the right
of the Sacred House and the Sacred
Sanctuary")),
[Sharhul-'Aqeedatut-Tahaawiyyah (p.
234) and Ithaafus-Saadaatul-Mustaqeem
(2/285) and Sharhul-Fiqhil-Akbar (p. 198)
of al-Qaaree]
And Abu Haneefah said:
((It is
not befitting for anyone to call upon
Allaah, except by Him, and it is even more
detestable for him to say: "By the
junctures of Honour from your Throne",
or "By the Right of Your
Creation")),
[al-Fiqhul-Absat (p. 56)]
This is what we know of
worshipping or supplicating near graves and
invoking others besides Allaah. We have
learnt this from the Qur.aan, the Authentic
Sunnah
but let us read what Muhammad Zakaria
Kandalvi writes in Fadhaa.il
A'maal
In Fadhaa.il Durood, p.97,
Incident no (Hikayat) 35: The Messenger of
Allaah (allegedly) said:
((Whoever
wants something from anyone should go to
his grave and supplicate to Allaah for
it))
Again on page 109, Incident number
(Hikayat) - 48, Fadhaa.il Durood (The last
chapter in Fadhaa.il A'maal, Vol.I):
"Sh. Abu Khair Qattah said that: I
went to Madeenah and
stayed there for five days but did not
achieve the pleasure and satisfaction. I
went to the graves of the Prophet, Hadhrat
Abu Bakar and Hadhrat 'Umar and said,
"O Messenger of Allaah I am your guest
tonight." Then I left the place and
slept behind the minbar. I saw in my dream
that the Prophet of Allaah with Abu Bakar
on his right, 'Umar on his left and
'Alee was in front of them all. Hadhrat
'Alee then shook me and said that the
Messenger of Allaah has come to visit me. I
got up and kissed the Prophet between his
eyes. The Messenger of Allaah then gave me
a piece of bread which I ate half and when
I woke up the other half was in my
hand."
What does Zakaria Kandalvi want to
prove through these evil fabrications. That
making a supplication near the graves pays
off by a visit by the Prophet himself and
being awarded a piece of bread. And do
things in dream last after the dream is
over. No! but Zakaria Kandalvi wants to put
the idea to his readers that the Messenger
of Allaah and those illustrious Companions
visited Sh.Qattah in real life and not just
a dream.
These two incidents are enough to
prove the teachings of grave worship in
Fadhaa.il A'maal. "Shaykh
al-Hadeeth" Muhammad Zakaria Kandalvi
firsts fabricates a hadeeth and then
an entire story. But this is not an end to
the Shirk
and lies in Fadhaa.il A'maal. This is
just the beginning.
Indeed, the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) came to forbid Shirk
in the most severe of manners, and not only
that, he also closed the door shut on all
possible avenues that lead to Shirk
- so he forbade prayer towards a grave, he
forbade the unnecessary exaggeration of
individuals above and beyond their true
status, he forbade the wearing of
talismans, he forbade making oaths by other
than Allaah, he forbade the building of
mosques and tombs over graves, he ordered
the destruction of pictures, statues and
the levelling of graves that were raised
and much much more. Then comes the likes of
Muhammad Zakaria Kandalvi, fabricates
beyond belief, utters enormous lies against
this religion and against the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam), without any proof or isnaad
(chain of narration) or reference, and
OPENS UP the very same avenues to Shirk
that the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) closed!! And this indeed the
characteristic hallmark of Fadhaa.il
A'maal and other books of innovation
and heresy - which are used by
Jamaa'at-ut-Tableegh.
2) The 'aqeedah of
the Messenger of Allaah being Haadhir wa
Naadhir (Omnipresent) taught in Fadhaa.il
A'maal
Another false 'aqeedah
(belief) that has crept into the minds of
many Muslims and which is being actively
propagated by the Tableeghi Jamaat through
Fadhaa.il A'maal is that the Messenger
of Allaah is "Haadhir wa
Naadhir" i.e. he is present
everywhere and helps his loved ones during
times of distress.
This 'aqeedah is
false in the light of the Noble Qur.aan and
the authentic Sunnah. Verily,
Allaah the Exalted and to Whom belongs all
praise says in the Holy Qur.aan (meaning of
which):
{This is
of the news of the Ghayb (unseen) which We
reveal to you (O Muhammad). You were not
present with them when they arranged their
plan together, and (while) they were
plotting}, [Soorah
Yoosuf, Aayah
102]
Also if we were to believe that
the Prophet is present everywhere then what
is the point of making Hijrah to Madeenah from Makkah, leaving Madeenah and going
to Badr. When he (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) is in Makkah
he is not in Taif and when he is in Taif he
is not in Tabuk.
Those who claim that the Prophet
is Haadhir wa Naadhir support it from the
fact that the Messenger of Allaah met
Moosaa (`alayhis-salaam)
in the sixth heaven during Mi'raaj and
also saw him praying in his grave. To them
we say: This is a miracle of Allaah. He,
out of His infinite wisdom, demonstrated
His signs to His Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam). Verily, Allaah (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala) says in the
Qur.aan:
{...the
neighbourhood whereof We have blessed, in
order that We might show him {Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam)} of Our Aayaat
(signs, lessons,
proofs, etc.)}, [Soorah
Israa, Aayah
1]
A cut on anyone's hand will
make blood gush forth but twice Allaah (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala) made water flow from
the fingers of His Messenger. But during
the wounds he (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) received in Uhud, blood gushed
out, not water or light.
Miracles are for specific purposes
and at certain times. They cannot be used
as evidence, especially in matters of 'aqeedah. So
the 'aqeedah of
the Messenger of Allaah being Haadhir wa
Naadhir (present everywhere) is false. But
the book Fadhaa.il A'maal propagates
this 'aqeedah in no
less than 10 places particularly in
Fadhaa.il Durood.
Let us read for
ourselves.
Muhammad Zakaria Kandalvi reports
on p. 84, Incident number (Hikayat) - 4,
Fadhaa.il Durood: "Minhaj al-Hasanat
quotes the book 'Fajr Munir' by Ibn
Fakhafi that one very pious
"buzurg" (literally meaning
elder, but should be understood as Pir) by
the name of Moosaa Darir who narrated his
incident that: I was once aboard a ship
which began to sink. At the point slumber
overtook me and the Messenger of Allaah
visited me in that state and taught me to
instruct the people of the ship to recite
durood (sending salutations on the Prophet)
1000 times. We had only recited it 300
times that the ship regained
stability."
When a ship is sinking, do its
passengers feel like sleepy or are in a
state of panic. This story can be excused
that its only a dream but the following
narration will leave you in disgust; read
what the scholars of Deobandh have in their
filthy minds.
Fadhaa.il Durood, p.109, Incident
no (Hikayat) - 46:
"Haafidh Abu Na'eem
reports from Sufyaan ath-Thawree that: One
day I (Sufyaan) was going out when I saw a
young man who recited the durood on every
step. I asked him, "Does this deed of
yours have any basis (or is it just your
own action)?" He asked, "Who are
you?" I replied, "I am
Sufyaan." He then asked, "The
Sufyaan of Iraq?" I replied,
"Yes." He then asked, "What
type of knowledge of Allaah do you
have?" I replied, "He takes the
night out of the day and day out of the
night and creates the face of the infant in
the womb." He replied, "Then you
don't know anything." I then
asked, "How do you know Allaah?, what
is this durood of yours?" He replied,
"I went along with my mother for Hajj
and my mother died there, her face became
black and her stomach swelled to which I
realised that she had committed some very
serious sin. I raised my hands to make
du'aa to Allaah when I saw that from
the direction of Hijaz a cloud appeared
from which emerged a man. He placed his
hand on my mother's face and it became
enlightened and rubbed his hand over her
stomach and the swelling disappeared. I
asked him who he was who relieved my mother
and I from our difficulties. He replied,
"I am your Prophet Muhammad. I then
requested him to advise me. He instructed
me to send durood (salutations) on him on
every step."
What kind of a horrendous lie and
insult is this to our beloved Prophet!
Zakaria Kandalvi wants us to believe that
the Messenger of Allaah is alive and goes
around helping people. And what shameless
lie he fabricated! The Messenger of Allaah
(sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam), whose wife 'Aa.ishah
described as being more shy than a veiled
virgin, massages the face and stomach of
women?! Astaghfirullah.
I ask the scholars of Deobandh and
the entire Tableeghi Jamaat: Has the rescue
missions of the Prophet stopped or do they
continue to this day. Why does he not come
to the rescue of the Muslims of Kashmir,
Palestine and Chechnya? I ask the
Tableeghis that where was the Prophet when
'Umar was martyred, when 'Uthmaan
was martyred and when 'Alee was
martyred?
Alas! My Muslim brother, do you
see the lies and insults that are being
thrown at the Messenger of Allaah in the
name of love, in the name of service to
Islaam. To such liars we only say that the
one who intentionally forges a lie against
the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) let him take his seat in the
fire. And an evil abode indeed! But this is
not the end of lies. Zakaria Kandalvi goes
on to say that:
1) The Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) kisses an insane Soofi
(Fadhaa.il Durood, Incident no - 42,
p.102)
2) Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) descends from the sky on a
cloud with a piece of bread in his hand in
order to feed his "pious
followers." (Fadhaa.il Durood,
Incident no - 48, p.110)
3) The Messenger of Allaah, the
seal of the Prophets (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) plucks hair from his beard and
gives it to a dying man in order to cure
him. (Fadhaa.il Durood, p.110, incident no
- 48)
May Allaah (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala) save us from
fabricating such lies, insults and nonsense
against the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) and make us amongst the
drinkers from the Haud (pool of)
al-Kawthar.
'Alee (radhi-yallaahu
'anhu) narrates that the Messenger
of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) said:
((Do not
lie upon me, for whoever lies upon me, let
him enter the Fire)), [Bukhaaree
V.1/106].
Zubayr Abu Abdullaah narrates that
the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) said:
((Whoever
intentionally lies upon me, let him find
his seat in the Hellfire)), [Bukhaaree
V.1/107].
Salamah narrates that the
Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) said:
((Whoever
says upon me that which I did not say, let
him find his seat in the
Hellfire)), [Bukhaaree
V.1/109].
3) The propaganda of the 'aqeedah that
the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) is alive in his grave, listens
to us and has the knowledge of the
Unseen
The author of Fadhaa.il
A'maal, Muhammad Zakaria Kandalvi
believed and wanted to propagate that the
Messenger of Allaah is:
a) alive in his grave and listens
to us;
b) has the knowledge of the unseen.
To a Muslim of Ahlus-Sunnah
wal-Jamaa'ah and on the 'aqeedah of
our pious predecessors believing in such
heresies is nothing short of Kufr
and Shirk.
They are in direct opposition to the Noble
Qur.aan and the authentic Sunnah
of Abul-Qaasim (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam).
Regarding him being alive and
listening to us, the Word of Allaah, the
most truthful of speech has cleared out the
facts for us. Allaah says in the Holy
Qur.aan (meaning of which):
{And we
granted not to any human being immortality
before you (O Muhammad), then if you die
would they live forever? Everyone is going
to taste death, and We shall make a trial
of you with evil and with good. And to Us
you will be returned}, [Soorah
al-Anbiya, Aayahs
34-35]
And also:
{Verily,
you (O Muhammad) will die, and verily, they
(too) will die}, [Soorah
Az-Zumar, Aayah
30]
And who can forget the historic
speech of Abu Bakar as-Siddeeq (radhi-yallaahu
'anhu) except the innovators! He
truly said:
((And
now, he who worships Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam), Muhammad is dead now. But he
who worships Allaah, He is Ever Living and
He never dies))
Allaah says:
{Muhammad
is no more than a Messenger, and indeed
(many) Messengers have passed away before
him. If he dies or is killed, will you turn
back on your heels (as disbelievers)? And
he who turns back on his heels, not the
least harm will he do to Allaah, and Allaah
will give reward to those who are
grateful}, [Soorah
Aal-'Imraan, Aayah
144]
Ibn al-Musayyib said that
'Umar had said:
((By
Allaah, as soon as I heard Abu Bakar say
it, I fell down to the ground. I felt as if
my legs had been unable to carry me so I
collapsed when I heard him say it. Only
then did I realize that Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) had really died)),
[Bukhaaree, 2/640,
641]
It should now be clear to every
Muslim that the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) no longer lives in the life of
this world. That takes us to the second
point that needs to be addressed: Does the
Prophet of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) possess independent knowledge
of the unseen?
The Word of Allaah states (meaning
of which):
{And with
Him (Allaah) are the keys of the Ghayb (all
that is hidden), none knows them but
He}, [Soorah
al-An'am, Aayah
59]
{Say:
None in the heavens and the earth knows the
Ghayb (Unseen) except Allaah, nor can they
perceive when they shall be
resurrected}, [Soorah
an-Naml, Aayah
65]
{Say (O
Muhammad): I have no power over benefit or
hurt myself except Allaah wills. If I had
the knowledge of the Ghayb (Unseen), I
should have secured myself an abundance of
wealth and no evil should have touched me.
I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad
tidings unto people who
believe}, [Soorah
al-A'raaf, Aayah
188]
{Say (O
Muhammad): "I don't tell you that
with me are the treasures of Allaah, nor
(that) I know the unseen; nor I tell you
that I am an angel. I but follow what is
revealed to me by inspiration." Say:
"Are the blind and the one who sees
equal? will you not then take
thought?}, [Soorah
al-An'aam Aayah
50]
{This is
a part of the news of the Ghayb (unseen,
i.e. the news of the past nations of which
you have no knowledge) which We inspire you
with (O Muhammad). You were not with them,
when they cast lots with their pens as to
which of them should be charged with the
care of Maryam (Mary); nor were you with
them when they disputed}, [Soorah
Aal 'Imraan Aayah
44]
{And I
(Muhammad) do not say to you that with me
are the Treasures of Allaah, "Nor that
I know the Ghayb (unseen); "nor do I
say I am an angel, and I do not say of
those whom your eyes look down upon that
Allaah will not bestow any good on them.
Allaah knows what is in their inner-selves
(as regards belief, etc.). In that case, I
should, indeed be one of the Zaalimoon
(wrong-doers, oppressors,
etc.)}, [Soorah
Hood, Aayah
31]
{This is
of the news of the unseen which We reveal
unto you (O Muhammad), neither you nor your
people knew them before this. So be
patient. Surely, the (good) end is for the
Muttaqoon}, [Soorah
Hood, Aayah
49]
{This is
of the news of the Ghayb (unseen) which We
reveal by Inspiration to you (O Muhammad).
You were not (present) with them when they
arranged their plan together, and (also,
while) they were plotting}, [Soorah
Yoosuf, Aayah
102]
{And they
say: "How is it that not a sign is
sent down on him from his Lord?" Say:
"The unseen belongs to Allaah Alone,
so wait you, verily I am with you among
those who wait (for Allaah's
Judgement)}, [Soorah
Yoonus, Aayah
20]
{Say:
"None in the heavens and the earth
knows the Ghayb (unseen) except Allaah, nor
can they perceive when they shall be
resurrected}, [Soorah
an-Naml, Aayah
65]
Anyone holding any belief contrary
to the above points then he is on total
misguidance and to hold on to such beliefs
actually constitutes Kufr
and Shirk
as it negates one of the foundations of
Tawheed!
Yes, the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) was given
knowledge of the Unseen, in certain
incidents, but it did not originate with
him, it came from Allaah, who gave him this
knowledge in certain situations and
incidents as a miracle and as a sign of his
truthfulness as a Messenger from
Allaah.
{(He
Alone) the All-Knower of the Ghayb
(unseen), and He reveals to none His Ghayb
(unseen)." Except to a Messenger (from
mankind) whom He has chosen (He informs him
of unseen as much as He likes), and then He
makes a band of watching guards (angels) to
march before him and behind
him}, [Soorah
Jinn, Aayah
26-27]
But whoever claims that the
Prophets and Messengers have independent
knowledge of the Unseen, then he is upon Kufr,
and refuge is sought in Allaah. But the
Innovators, like the figureheads of
Jamaa'at-ut-Tableegh who allow this
falsehood to be taught and to remain, do
not understand, or merely pretend not to
understand the likes of these affairs,
which are as clear as daylight in the Noble
Book of Allaah.
Yet the author of Fadhaa.il
A'maal Zakaria Kandalvi fabricates the
biggest lie, insult against the Messenger
of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) that even the Kuffaar might not
have done. Kandalvi writes on p.115,
Incident no (Hikayat) - 50, Fadhaa.il
Durood (last incident or Hikayat in
Fadhaa.il A'maal, Vol.I). He is
reporting the incident of some unknown
person by the name of "Maulana
Jami".
"Maulana Jami once set out
for Hajj
and had the intention to stand near the
grave of the Messenger of Allaah and recite
poetry over the grave. Upon completion of
the Hajj,
he set out for Madeenah. The
Ameer of Madeenah saw the
Prophet in his dream and the Prophet
instructed him to prevent Jami from coming
to Madeenah. The
Ameer tightened security but zeal and
"Ishq" (note: the word Ishq is
used for that love which is accompanied
with lust!) for visiting the Prophet had
completely overtaken him and he continued
his way to Madeenah. The
Ameer again saw the Prophet in his dream
and instructed him not to let Jami in. The
Ameer scrambled his men and arrested Jami.
He was manhandled and thrown into prison.
The Ameer then saw the Prophet for the
third time and informed the Ameer that he
(Jami) is no criminal but he had composed a
few lines of poetry which he intended to
recite over my grave and had he done so
(i.e able to recite the poem over the
grave) my hand would have come out of the
grave to greet him and this would have
caused fitnah. Hence,
Jami was taken out of prison with honour
and respect bestowed upon him."
Muhammad Zakaria continues:
"I have no doubt in listening to this
story but my weak memory and illness fails
me to recall in which book it is recorded.
If anyone from the readers comes across the
story in any book during my life time then
please inform me and if after my death,
then please add the reference at the bottom
of the story as a footnote."
Astaghfi-rullaah!
What shameless, deliberate lies! Had
Zakaria no guilt or fear of fabricating
such tremendous lies and attributing it to
the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) in the pathetic manner that he
has done above? He says he cannot remember
which book it is in?! And then invites his
followers to inform him if he is mistaken?!
Then why narrate it in the first place -
making a clear lie upon the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) - let alone what it contains of
misguidance!!
Abu Hurayrah narrates that the
Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) said:
((It is
sufficient to render a man a liar that he
narrates everything he hears)),
[Reported by Muslim]
And he also narrated from
Allaah's Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam):
((There
will come at the end of time, Dajjaals, Liars,
who will come to you with ahaadeeth that
neither yourselves nor your forefathers
will have heard of. So beware and beware of
them, lest they cause you to go astray and
be put to trial)), [Saheeh Muslim and Musnad Ahmad,
it is Saheeh]
And Ibn Hibbaan included the ahaadeeth on
prohibiting lying against the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) under the following chapter
heading, "A mention that the one who
ascribed something to al-Mustafaa while not
knowing that it is authentic, then it is
binding that he will enter the Fire",
and then he quotes the hadeeth of Abu
Hurayrah:
((Whoever
says upon me that which I did not say, let
him find his seat in the
Hellfire)), [Saheeh Ibn Hibbaan,
p.27]
This then, is the state and
condition of "The Muhaddith",
"The Axis of the World" (!!!),
Zakaria Kandalvi?!
Then additionally, and even worse,
is this not Shirk
to claim that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) has the knowledge to know the
intentions of men from his grave. Who is
the only one who knows what men intend?
Allaah! What a horrible 'aqeedah is
being propagated here!
But Zakaria Kandalvi does not stop
here. He had to prove the high status and
the ascetism of his Soofi saints. Read what
he continues in the same incident:
"Syed Ahmad Refai is a famous
"buzurg" (elder, but should be
understood as Pir) and is among the senior
Soofis. His story is famous that when he
went for Hajj
in 555H and stood near the grave of the
Prophet (in Madeenah) and
recited 2 lines of poety, the hand of the
Prophet came out and he kissed
it."
I doubt that the above passage has
been written by any sane Muslim. Such lies,
fabrications and insults can only come from
an enemy of the sound and pure Islaamic
teachings but in this case it happens to be
"Shaykh al-Hadeeth", "Knower
of Allaah", "Axis of the
world" Muhammad Zakaria
Kandalvi!
My Muslim brothers and sisters:
You have just read the stories of Shirk,
innovations and lies upon the Messenger of
Allaah. These are the few lies among the
many that are rampant in the two volumes of
Fadhaa.il A'maal. What we have covered
is just Fadhaa.il Durood. There is
Fadhaa.il Hajj, Sadaqa, Dhikr, Salaah, Ramadhaan left.
Inshaa.-Allaah the Shirk
and lies in these chapters will soon be
exposed in the light of Qur.aan and
authentic Sunnah.
So beware my brothers and sisters!
Beware of sitting with
Jamaa'at-ut-Tableegh, or going out with
them and listening to them lest you also
sink into the pit of Shirk
and Bid`ah, for they
corrupt the heart and mind and lead one to
foolishness and folly. Rather, take the
advice of our noble pious predecessors:
al-Fudayl bin 'Iyaad (d. 187H)
said:
((I met
the best of people, all of them people of
the Sunnah
and they used to
forbid from accompanying the people of
innovation)), [Reported by
al-Laalikaa.ee (no.267)]
al-Hasan al-Basree (d. 110H)
said:
((Do not
sit with the people of innovation and
desires, nor argue with them, nor listen to
them)), [Reported by ad-Daarimee
in his Sunan (1/121)]
From Aboo Qulaabah who
said:
((Do not
sit with them and do not mix with them for
I do not feel safe that they will not drown
you in their misguidance and confuse you
about much that you used to
know)), [Laalikaa.ee no.
244]
May Allaah (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala) keep us firm on Tawheed
and the Sunnah
of His Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa
sallam) and keep us ever away from the
disgrace of Shirk
and Bid`ah
and the teachings of the Tableeghi
Jamaat.
May Allaah (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala) make this compilation
solely to seek His Pleasure and forgive my
sins. To Him we belong and to Him is our
return.
