Any comments?

sIDI What does he mean

[ابو هادي]

I think he means stay with your group i.e. your natural environment, society/culture and don't worry about it. I personally do not believe we should be living our lives thinking of things and worrying about that which we do not encounter. We should not have to be made constantly aware of what happens across the world when we are not able to understand what happens in front of our faces.

[yousaf21]

more or less they are being told to avoid the effort of dawat .

[ImamGhazzaali]

I think we can ponder over the arabic he said and then his last part of the sentence "Don't bother to answer them". This fatwa was not clear. Was it for or against or neutral? It can be interpreted all these ways, right?

Wallaahu ta'aalaa a'lam.

[True Life]

I think it was clearly against them. You can as well check out the Fatwa on Fazail-e-Amal. Other than that there's not much to comment on this fatwa...

Salaam,

He does not say don't do the effort of dawah, but he is saying not to join a particular group. If you are already a member of a group, that is enough, so be satisfied with that. We should not say that he is saying to not do the effort of dawah, as if tabligh jamaat is the exclusive effort of dawah.

Question:

Assalamu wa Alaykum ya mashaykh!

I have book faizal amaal, in my idiom is one the few books which are not published by Saudi Arabia but is dawah tabligh, the book speaks enough good things about Tasawwuf, dhikr, kashf, which were awliyah Ahlul Sunnah, as the Tabligh dawah this far my knowledge of this group is Deobandi and the Deobandis have several deviations in aqida, this book is far and sunni shares in which we must refrain from believing in him? There are gaps in it? because so far I do not know to distinguish them, the book by speaking well of the Awliya and be the one in my tongue, I do read it, it has wonderful stories of sahaba, cites several awliyah turuq, good practice and advise, but wanted know much about departures as the book is basic reading for anyone who is dawah Tabligh movement.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

This book was written by a staunch Deobandi scholar Shaykh Muhammad Zakariyya Kandhalawi, and contains many good citations from valid Sunni sources about the benefits of reciting Dhikrullah, and Salawat (Darood Sharif), stories of Sahaba and Awliyaullah. However, recent printings of the book have removed sections that Wahabis found “objectionable”, so these editions are not trustworthy. So rather than risk becoming confused read the many books written by your mashaykh or those books they approve.

Salaam,

I don't see any problem with this, as the jamaat would say the same thing; read the books of your elders, and elders here means your own deobandi elders. He speaks with respect of the book and Hadrat Shaikh rah, and only criticizes recent versions. I have been with jamaats that did their own "editing" of the book; if they were in talim, and the word 'sufi' came up, they would just 'pious man' if there were any arabs with them, and sometimes they would skip full passages of the text and commentary that had "sufi stories" in them.

And
verily! This your religion (of Islâmic Monotheism)
is one religion, and I am your Lord,
so keep your duty to Me.
But
they (men) have broken their religion among them into sects, each group rejoicing
in its belief.
So
leave them in their error for a time.

Thats the ayah he quoted in context. I think the words "dont bother with them" also was not clear enough for some people.

Some of the most beautiful people i have ever met do tableegh. Having spent at least 4 months on jamat myself i can say with certainty none of them call themselves a sect or firka. Sad that a lot of people have no understanding of the work they do.

[bugmenot]

Hey they're not against' da'wah, did you not see their disco dancing form of da'wa?

Uh and the fatwa criticising removal of sections frm fazaa'il a'mal : what about their dubious shuyukh publishing forged ahadith to proove their dubious 'aqeedah (see more about this here : http://www.sunniforum.com/forum/show...d-Sa-id-Mamduh ).
