Fatwa of kufr upon

Ismail Dehlavi

(Forefather of the Wahhabis/Deobandis of Indo/Pak Subcontinent)

(d.1246AH/1830/31CE) Adapted from Brother Abdullah Sabiri Chisti[By Al Malibari]

Imam Fadl Haq Khairabadi al Chishti (Rh) took strong objection on Wahabbi  maulvi Ismail Dehlavi on the matter of Imakn al Kidhb1, Imtina’ al Nazir2 and on the matter of shafa’at ( intercession) of the Holy Prophet (sal allahu alayhi wa sallam)[1,Possibilty of a lie,being Told by Allah.2.Possibility of Creating an Equal to Prophet Muhammad (saws)]

 

(1) In 1240A.H (1824CE) Imam Fadl Haq Khairabadi al Chishti along with thirteen (13) other leading scholars issued the fatwa of kufr upon Ismail Dehlavi. All these fourteen (14) scholars were the leading students of Shah Abdul Aziz Dehlavi (Rh)[Son Of Shah Waliyullah Dehlavi]

 

The fatwa was published in Tahqiq al Fatwa, signed by all fourteen (14) scholars

 

(2) 1246 A.H: Ismail Dehlavi died in 1246 A.H/1831CE

As per the deobandi version:

 “Imam Fadl Haq lamented this death and called him a great scholar by calling him Hakim [doctor] of Ummat-i-Muhammadiya (sal allahu alayhi wa sallam).”

 

Please note the first person to propagate this story was a man called Fadl Hasan Bihari in the book: 

 al Hayāt baa’d al mamāt

 

(3) 1269 AH:  In 1269 A.H, Ali Ahmed Tonki Rampuri wrote a book defending the corrupt belief of Ismail Dehlavi on the matter of Imakn al Kidhb and Imtina’ al Nazir .

 

Imam Fadl Haq Khairabadi al Chishti refuted this book and again issued a fatwa, which was signed by thirty four (34) leading scholars of that time. This fatwa was issued in Persian and was published from Matbae Hidaya, Delhi.

 

This proves that even in 1269 A.H, [twenty three (23) years after the death of Ismail Dehlavi]

 Imam Fadl Haq had the same stand which he had in 1240 A.H while issuing the fatwa of Kufr upon Ismail Dehlavi.

 

Is there any door open for the deobandi story that Imam Fadl Haq praised Ismail Dehlavi in 1246 A.H?

 

(4) 1270 A.H: In 1270 A.H Imam Fadl Haq Khairabadi al Chishti completed his master piece Persian work and called it Imtina’ al Nazir.

 

In this book he again proved that the statement of Ismail Dehlavi [If Allah so wishes, he can create millions like Prophet Salla allahu alaihi wa sallam) is Kufr. The great scholar also refuted all the possible interpretation of this statement and belief.

 

We see that even in 1270 A.H, Imam Fadl Haq remained steadfast upon his fatwa which he issued upon Ismail Dehlavi in 1240 A.H. So where is the possibility of him praising Ismail Dehlavi in 1246 A.H?

In the same year, 1270 A.H, Mawlānā Fadl Rasul Badayuni wrote Al mutaqad in which he not only refuted Ismail Dehlavi on the matter of of Imakn al Kidhb and  Imtina’ al Nazir but also the other corrupt belief of the Wahabbis.

 

Imam Fadl Haq wrote taqridh on this book and approved it saying:

 

 “This book describes the true aqida and also refutes the heretical sects...”

 

If Imam Fadl Haq lamented the death of Ismail Dehlavi and called him a great scholar in 1246 A.H, then why is he agreeing with the fatwa of kufr upon Ismail Dehlavi in 1270 A.H?

 

Around 1270 A.H/ 1853 A.H, Haider Ali Tonki wrote a couplet praising Ismail Dehlavi

 It reads

اتهجو عالماً بر اً تقياً وعندالله فى ذاك انتقام

(Rough Translation)

Do you ridicule a God fearing scholar; you will be retaliated for this by God

 

Imam Fadl Haq Khairabadi al Chishti was a fil badi shayar .He was a master poet and had high command on Arabic language

He wrote:

اتمدح جاهلاَ شر اَ شقياً       تدار كم من الله انتقام

و انكر جا حداً غياَ وجحلاً     شفا عة من يلو ذ به الانام

و حرم ان يؤم بشد رحل ل    مزار دونه البيت الحرام

وجوز ان يقول الله كذباً       وقول الكذب منقصة وذام

فجوز ان يكون نظاءرفى      الكمال لمن له الفضل العظام

Rough Translation

Do you praise an ignorant, evil and a naughty person, who was revenged by the Allah

His stubbornness caused him to go deviated and he denied the intercession of that blessed personality, to whom the entire creation need for their salvation

And he prohibited traveling to the blessed place (the grave of the prophet, sal allahu alayhi wa sallam) which is even more blessed than bait al harām

And he said that it is possible for Allah to lie, where as lie is a defect and a flaw

And he said there is a possibility of a similar being (mithl) about him ( sal allahu alayhi wa sallam) who is perfect and has so many virtues

 

These couplets refute Ismail Dehlavi on the topic of Imakn al Kidhb, Imtina’ al Nazir and shafa’at. He wrote around thirty five (35) more couplets in which he has refuted the aqida of Ismail Dehlavi.

 

This shows that in 1270 A.H Imam Fad Haq Khairabadi  was firm on his stand which he expressed in 1240 A.H

 

This is just a deobandi cock and bull story which says that


Imam Fadl Haq Khairabadi al Chishti lamented the death of Ismail Dehlavi and even praised him!

 

Readers can see that his deobandi author has borrowed this story from another deobandi, who is infamous on internet for spreading lies.

 

The deobandi author is not seeking truth. Had he been seeking truth, he would have researched and studied before attacking the great scholars of ahlus sunnah wal jamah.

 

Look how the deobandi author attacks Shaykh Gibril Haddad[G.F.Haddad]
Deobandi writes: “Gibril Haddad wrote a review of Taqwiyat al-Iman based on its English Translation some years ago  which is full of hyperbole and misinformation as a result of his bias, dishonesty, ignorance and over-reliance on the translation.”

Readers can see who is biased, dishonest and ignorant!!

The deobandi further writes: “His source for this and further statements is an internet article written against Deobandis.”

 

 Whatever Shaykh Gibril has mentioned is from Quran, Sunnah and authentic historical books, where as this deobandi took everything from internet or the translated works! He doesn’t even quote original Taqwiyatul Iman but its English and Arabic translation!

 

The deobandi author is trying to praise Ismail Dehlavi who said:

“In Salah, thought of intercourse with your wife or evil temptation of adultery is better, and to think about a Shaykh or a pious person even thinking about the Holy Prophet is much worse than thinking of your own donkey or oxen." [Siraat-e-Mustaqeem, persian, p.86]

 

Let us see, what Ashraf Ali Thanvi says:  Question: [By Abdul Majid Daryabadi, disciple and Khalifa of Ashraf Ali thanvi]  Is it permissible for me to imagine you during salah for concentration?

Answer [ By Ashraf Ali Thanvi]  It is correct as long as you do not disclose this to other people”  ( Hakimul Ummat page 54)

 

This shows the secret nature of this  deobandi cult. They keep their secret teachings among themselves and do not want others to know about it!  They all love this man Ismail Dehlavi!                                               After all

kullu shai in yarjuhu ila aslihi

  Everything returns to its origin

Imam Ahmed Raza Khan 

Fatwa upon Ismail Dehalvi ? 

 

Ismail Dehalvi passed away many years before Imam Ahmed Raza Khan's (ra) time. Therefore, although Imam Ahmed Raza wrote in his book refuting the writing of Ismail Dehalvi that some of Dehalvi's writings were of kufr; he did not pass kufr fatwa on the Ismail Dehalvi because Dehalvi was deceased (dead) and Ismail Dehalvi could obviously not write defence or explanation of himself.

 

Many had written against the `Ulama' of Deoband (forefathers of this school) prior to him, such as: -

Mawlânâ Fadl al-Haqq Khayrabâdî (rh) in"Tahqîqul-Fatâwâ"

Hadrat Fadl al-Rasûl Badayûnî (rh) in "Sayful-Jabbâr" and many other Sunni scholars.

 

In fact, Ala Hadrat (rh) had not yet been born when these were written!

 

Imam Fazle Haq khairabadi (rh) wrote: Tahqeeq al-Fatwa fi Ibtal al-Taghwa

Imam Ahmed Raza Khan was born on 10th Shawwal 1272 AH (June 14, 1856 AD)

One of the revered among pioneer scholars of Deoband school Maulana Rasheed Ahmed Gangohi in his authoritative work ‘Fatawa Rasheediya’ states about Shah Ismaeel Shaheed:
“Molvi Muhammad Ismaeel (may Allah have mercy on him) was scholar, pious, he uprooted the innovations, he was reviver of Sunnah, complete adherent of Quran and Hadith and a guide to the mankind, he remained like this for his entire life and ultimately he attained martyrdom during Jihad against infidels. Thus the one who have such traits is Waliullah and Shaheed (martyr)….And the book ‘Taqwiyat ul Iman’ is an excellent book and is irrefutable for polytheism () and innovation (Bidat). Its arguments are entirely from Quran and Hadith and to keep it, read it and follow it is absolutely according to Islam and is the reason to attain reward and the one who prohibits to keep it is Fasiq and an innovator…”
Fatawa Rasheediya Kamil, pages 218-219 (Maktaba Rahmaniya, Lahore) [Urdu]

Shah Ismail Dehlavi's own cousin brother Hazrat Shah Maqsoosillah Dehlavi(rah) was the first one to refute him.
Mawlana Ansar shah Kashmiri, son of Anwar Shah Kashmiri of Deoband wrote:
“__________I feel real and clear differences between Sahib’s thoughts and those of Deobandis. So I doubt viewing deobandi ideology as a part of Waliyullahi’s thoughts.(Al Balagh.Karachi.p49.DhulHijja.1388)
[ Afkar e Raza Trimonthly.Mumbai.1423Rabi ul Awwal. pp 43-47]
Shah Abul Hasan Zayd Faruqi(rh) wrote, in his preface to the translation of ‘Al Qawlul Jaliyy’ of Shah Sahib. :
“It is a pity that the Followers of Shah Ismail Dehlawi were in the forefront of the fabrications made into the books and malfuzat of , Shah abdul aziz and also in the Qur’an translation of Shah Abdul Qadir (rha) and also in the topics of Mujaddid e AlfSani, Shah Ghulam Ali and Hazrat Shah Alamullah RaeBareli(rha) so as to make the thoughts of these men to look similar to Shah Isma’il and Ibn Adul Wahab Najdi. Allah saved from tem this book, namely ‘al qawlul jaliyy.”
There is clearly no continuity of Waliyullahi thoughts with the reformist teachings of Sayyed Ahmed Bareli and Shah Isma’il Dehlawi, the founders of the movement known in history as ‘Tariqa-i Muhammadiyya’. The latter’s teachings were first written down in two Persian books namely Sirat e Mustaqim(1817-18.AD) and Radd al Ishraq(1822.AD) and then, the first part of Raddul Ishraq was translated into Urdu as ‘Taqwiyatul Iman’.
Scholars differ about the true inspirations of these two men to write these reformist books. The most accepted view is that , they were acquainted with the teachings of Ibn Abdul Wahab through reports of Hajj pilgrims or through literature(kitabu Tawhid of Ibn Abdul Wahhab) or both. It is substantiated by the fact that a year later, in 1823 AD , when these two men together with their followers went to perform Hajj, had actually met Muhammad ibn ‘Ali ‘Shaukani(d.1836 AD.) of Yemen (The Zaydi Shiah turned scholar, who wrote several books including a Tafsir) and had made an oath of allegiance (ba’iya) for Jihad which he undertook after returning from Hajj.
The difference between the original thought and the Tariqa-I Muhammadiyya was that the former denounced Sufism altogether , while the the latter retained minimal dimensions of Sufism, which they had got from Waliyullahi traditions.This purified version of eclectic Sufism was and is being retained by Deobandis too and which is a mask for them to claim that they are not wahhabis .Though Ismai’il Dehlawi wrote in defense of Sufism and explained its intricate philosophy in his ‘Abaqat’( an exposition of Shah Waliyullah’s two Persian works ‘Sata’at’ and Lamahat’) , it was when he was still under his paternal influence before turning to reformist creed. Deobandis often quote this work to prove that Isma’il had not adopted wahabism.
