RADD ALAL QUBOORIYYAH MIN KALAAM AHMAD RAZA KHAN IMAAM FIRQATUL HINDIYYAH BRAILWEEYYAH.
PART 1.
Compiled by Abu Hibbaan & Abu Khuzaimah Ansaari
We still have today those that claim they have pure faith in Allaah yet they leave not the beliefs and ways of there salaf, the likes of abu lahb, Ja’ad Ibn Dirham, Mansoor al-Hallaaj, Ibn Arabi and most recently Habib Ali Jiffy, Saqqaaf, Kawthari etc.
Before you read this treatise you have most likely heard the local Ahlul Shirk Wal Bidah, Brailwee Quboorees (grave worshippers) calling those who stop people circumbulating graves, celebrating Urs, doing the prostration of veneration to the living or dead (sajdah ta’zeemee), celebrating ghiyarvian and the list goes on as “Wahhaabee/najadees/Ghayr Muqallid, Gustaakhe Rasool (disrespectors of the prophet])” !!
However, this treatise will show that the Imaam of the Brailwee sect Ahmad Raza himself has conflicting speech about these very same issues disallowing many of the acts and customs that today’s ignorant brailwee and neo qubooree calls his fellow Muslim a Najdee and Wahaabee over.
To proceed:
TO VISIT THE TOMBS, CIRCUMBULATING AND PERFORMING PROSTRATION OF VENERATION.
Brailwee Ahmad Raza Khan states:
‘To circumbulate the graves of the pious with the sole intention of tazeem [respect and veneration] is not permissible as the place which is deserving of circumbulation with veneration is the kabah. (Fataawa Ridhwiyyah of Ahmad Raza (4/7)
This is a slap on the neo quboorees of today!
KISSING THE GRAVE/TOMB.
Brailwee Ahmad Raza Khan states:
‘One should not kiss the tomb’ (Fataawa Ridhwiyyah of Ahmad Raza (4/7)
This is another slap on the neo quboorees!
KISSING THE PLACE OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMADS (Sallalahu Alayhee Wasallam) GRAVE.
Brailwee Ahmad Raza Khan states:
“Be aware, refrain from kissing and holding the railings [that cover the prophets grave] as this is against good mannerisms. Instead, stay as far as four foot away from the railings that surround the prophets grave” (Fataawa Ridhwiyyah of Ahmad Raza (10/765)
So Ahmad Raza is the biggest gustaakhe rasool for all those quboorees who fall into excessiveness into venerating the grave of the prophet.
Yes, and another slap!
TO CIRCUMBULATE AND PROSTRATE AT THE PROPHETS GRAVE.
Brailwee Ahmad Raza Khan states:
“Do not circumbulate the prophet’s grave, do not prostrate at it, nor lower yourself so much so that it is as though one is making rukoo (bowing). The veneration of the prophet is in following him.” (Fataawa Ridhwiyyah of Ahmad Raza (10/769)
Let the neo quboorees repent now whilst he still can!
TO PLACE COVERINGS [CHAADAR] ON THE GRAVES AND TOMBS.
Brailwee Ahmad Raza Khan was asked about placing the covering on the tomb/grave and he replied,
“when one has a covering present and it is of some use then to utilise it to cover the grave is useless. Instead one should spend the money that was going to be used to purchase the covering to feed the poor.” (Ahkaam Shar’eeat (1/42)
Save your pennies! But without tawheed and negation of shirk a few pennies saved will be of no use!
TO CELEBRATE URS AND THE CUSTOMS (DESIGNATED DAY FOR REMEMBERANCE AND CELEBRATION OF A WALI).
Brailwee Ahmad Raza Khan was asked ,
When celebrating urs of the pious fireworks and lights are lit, food is made by way of benefiting the deceased by reward (Ithaal Thawaab), then to use these acts as adding blessing to the urs. What is the Islamic view concerning this?
He replied,
“To use fireworks is wastefulness, and wastefulness is haram” (Fataawa Ridhwiyyah of Ahmad Raza (24/112)
salamu a3laykum brother in islaam,
Ma sha Allaah what you are doing is great work and may Allaah azza wa jal do reward you in your work, ameen. Just i wanted to say suppose in this above reference you said “(Fataawa Ridhwiyyah of Ahmad Raza (4/7)” wouldn’t it be better if you do tell if its volume 4 and page 7 or page 7 with volume 4. if you write it completely it would be very beneficial for reader like us. Also brother, it would be more authentic if you give the publisher name with them too with it, Because often mubtada3een may bring same fataawa of another publisher and on that volume and page may or may not be written. This is not only about mubtada3een but also about other references that you bring from great muhaditheen. It wouild be great benefit for us, In sha Allaah.
Other than that ma sha Allaah your team is doing great work translating the work of shayyukh like shaykh abu taahir zubair ali zai (hafidhahullah).
wa salam.
