A quote of Shah Abdul Qadir, the son of Shah Waliyullah, in mawdah al-qur’an under verse 2:221 refuting the shirki concepts of hadir nazir, ilm al-ghayb, seeking help from others than Allah and mukhayyir al-kull:

شرک يه هے كە اللّه كى صفت كسى اور ميں جانے مثلا كسى كو سمجهے كه اس كو هر بئت معلوم هے يا وه جو چاهے كر سكتا هے يا همارا بھلا يا برا كرنا اس كے اس كے اختيار ميں هے اور كسى كو سجده كرے اور اس سے حاجت طلب كرے اس كو مختار جان كر

"Shirk is to ascribe any attribute of Allah to someone else, like for example one believes that one knows everything, or believes he can do whatever he wants, or can benefit or harm us, or one prostrates before anyone and asks him to fulfil his needs believing he has the choice to do so."

You can find the above quote also in Barelwi editions such as in the edition of Diya al-Qur'an Publications p. 43.

Assalam o 'alaykum,

In this one brief quote, he has refuted the deviant concepts of hadhir nadhir, 'ilm al-ghayb, istighathah, mukhtar al-kull, prostrating to ghayrAllah, etc.

I suspect that there will be claims of tahrif or some far-fetched ta`wilat in response to this quote.

Why? I thought most barelwis dont really look up to the Waliyullahi family the way others do, so wouldnt they just shrug it off as a Wahabi book or something

Assalam o 'alaykum,

Mawdih al-Quran is the Urdu translation of the Holy Qur'an with useful brief commentary by Shah 'Abd al-Qadir Muhaddith Dahlawi. Shah Rafi al-Din Muhaddith Dahlawi has a seperate Urdu translation of the Holy Qur'an.

'Allamah Sarfaraz Khan Safdar mentioned in his tafsir lectures that amongst all the Urdu translations of the Qur’an, the translation of Shah ‘Abd al-Qadir Muhaddith Dahlawi (may Allah have mercy on him) is the finest. Qasim al-‘Ulum wal-Khayrat Mawlana Nanautwi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “It is ilhami (inspired) translation.” Amir Shari’ah Mawlana Sayyid Ata’ullah Shah Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) used to say: “Had Qur’an been revealed in India it would have been revealed in the language of Shah ‘Abd al-Qadir.” Then, the next is the translation of his brother Shah Rafi’ al-Din Muhaddith Dahlawi (may Allah have mercy on him). Shaykh al-Hind Mawlana Mahmud al-Hassan (may Allah have mercy on him) rephrased the translation of Shah ‘Abd al-Qadir in an easy language.
