Bismillahirrahmaanirraheem,
There are some fanatic taqleedi deobandis who dont let go of any lame excuse to defame the Ahlus Sunnah (Ahlul hadeeth). Alhamdulillah they never had anything from Quran and Sunnah against us or to prove us wrong where as the Quran and Sunnah is in it self a refutation of these taqleedi deobandis. These haters have been humiliated every time they have come face to face to the Ahlul hadeeth and Alhamdulillah a great number of their public has seen their reality and accepting the Manhaj & Aqeedah of the Ahlul hadeeth, Alhamdulillah. Now the deobandis have shifted gears a little bit and they are finding new low life tactics to blind fold their public. One of the tactic is their claims that “Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani was a Ghair Muqallid i.e Ahlul hadeeth”.
If i had to respond to this claim in a few words then it would be as follows:
Ashraf Ali Thanwi Deobandi said: ” Then he said that Some of the Ghair muqallideen say that we hate them. How is this possible when we our selves are the Mu’taqid and Muqallid of a Ghair Muqallid because Imaam Abu Haneefah being a Ghair Muqallid is Certain.”[Majalis Hakeem ul-Ummat Pg 345, Malfodhaat Hakeem ul-Ummat Vol 24 Pg 332]
A Hanafi named, Muhammad Hussain has written that: “Aimmah Arba’ah all were Ghair Muqallid” [Mu’ayyin ul-Fiqh Pg 88]
A Huge list of Ghair Muqallideen is in this list: https://systemoflife.com/articles/taqleed/2000002-salaf-us-saliheen-were-not-muqallideen#ixzz2YSTay5It
So what will the deobandis say about this? Will they defame these great Imams as well because they were ghair muqallideen?
The Khaleefah Majaaz of Haji Imdad ullah Makki, Muhammad Anwaarullah farooqi writes: “All the Sahaba were Ahlul hadeeth”
[Haqeeqatul Fiqh Part 2 Pg 228 Published by Idaaratul Quraan wal Uloom Al-Islaamiya Karachi]
Muhammad Idrees Kandholvi writes: “All the Sahaba were Ahlul hadeeth”
[Ijtihaad aur Taqleed ki Bay misaal tahqeeq Pg 48]
What do deobandis say now? Will they ever show these references to their Awaam?? No.
If a few similarities based on whims and desires between Ahlul hadeeth and Qadianis is the criteria for deobandis to judge us and paint all with the same brush then let me remind them that deobandis and barelwis declare each other mushrik kaafir etc only based on probably 5{ecb01613692258d40e800a99e4d746e5d13d05ec98d2e9f5c1cfefb6e9fee158} to 10{ecb01613692258d40e800a99e4d746e5d13d05ec98d2e9f5c1cfefb6e9fee158} “Super ficial” differences. The remaining 90{ecb01613692258d40e800a99e4d746e5d13d05ec98d2e9f5c1cfefb6e9fee158} of both these groups is the same.
These arguements above are like the flip of a coin which results in “Heads i win, tails you lose” for the ahlul hadeeth. These few references are enough to make deobandis silent.
However InshaAllah we will respond to these haters as thoroughly as possible so that they may never use this arguement again.
— article divided —
I have decided to divide this article into 2 parts:
Part 1 Contains proofs of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani being a Taqleedi hanafi. You are reading it right now and it is titled “Mirza Qadiani was a Hanafi”
Part 2 Contains Answers to the allegation on Ahlul hadeeth regarding Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani. This will be titled “Mirza Qadiani was Salafi Ghair Muqallid or no?” (Coming soon).
In this article we have provided evidences from the books of Qadianis and some deobandis that mirza qadiani followed hanafi fiqh and that qadianis of today also follow the hanafi fiqh. It also includes references to tremendous similarities between the Aqeedah of mirza and deobandis. There are also references provided of Mirza qadiani’s dislike for the ahlul hadeeth and various Sunnah of the prophet s.a.w such as Rafa yadain, saying ameen loudly and reciting surah al fateha behind the imam etc etc. All these are taqleedi deobandi and barelvi qualities
I) Evidences from Qadianis books that mirza qadiani followed hanafi fiqh
1) if an issue (masla) is not found in sunnah or Quran then act upon the hanafi fiqh
2) Qadiani website confirms precedence to the Hanafi school of jurisprudence
3) Source of Ahmadi Fiqh is the same as Hanafi Fiqh
4) Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani says My Madhab is Hanafi fiqh
5) Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani says declare that I am a Hanafi ul Madhab
6) Mirza sahb kis firqa se thay
7) Forefathers of Qadyani were Hanafi ul Madhab & Mirza sahb himself followed their foot steps
8) Qadiyanis specifically adhere to the Fiqh of Imaam Abu Haneefah
9) Qadiyani recent leader Mirza Nasir says Our Fiqh is Hanafi Fiqh
10) Ameer of Mirzaais says Mirza Sahab remained a Hanafi ul Madhab all his life
11) Mirza Qadyani always showed himself as a hanafi and he never liked the term Ahlul hadeeth
12) First adopt HANAFIYAT before becoming Qadiyani
13) Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani hated Wahabis
14) Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani from Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamah and not Wahabi
15) Mirza known for doing debates against Ahlul Hadeeth Scholars and was the representative of hanafis
II) Tremendous similarities between Aqeedah of Mirza Ghulam Qadiyani and Deobandis/Bareilvis
III) Deobandis plagiarizing Qadiani books
IV) Masail of Mirza Ghulam Qadiyani showing dislike for various sunnah which are taqleedi qualities of deobandi and barelvi
I) Evidences from Qadianis books that mirza qadiani followed hanafi fiqh
1) “It should be an obligation (Fard) upon our Jama’ah that if a hadeeth does not contradict or against the Quran and Sunnah, then a person should act upon it no matter what the grading of the hadeeth is and it should be given preferance over the man made fiqh. And if an issue (masla) is not found in hadeeth nor sunnah nor the Quran then in such circumstance act upon the hanafi fiqh….. Where ever a hadeeth is found to be contradicting Quran and Sunnah then leave that hadeeth.” Roohani Khazain Vol 19 Page 212.
Now there are 3 things in this reference:
a) According to Mirza Qadyani, hadeeth and sunnah are 2 different things. Mirza Qadyani was the first person to make this difference and deobandi taqleedi hanafis of today hold the same belief. Where as in reality hadeeth and Sunnah are the same thing.
b) Mirza Qadyani says that a hadeeth can go against Quran, this is purely the beliefs of deobandi taqleedi hanafis and we ahlul hadeeth believe that there is NO WAY on earth that the prophet s.a.w could can contradict or say something against the Quran i.e there is no Sahi hadeeth which goes against the Quran or contradicts the Quran by any means nor can 2 sahi ahadeeth contradict or go against each other.
c) If a issue is not found any where in Quran and Sunnah then it should be fard to follow hanafi fiqh.
You can see the same thing repeated in Mujaddid e Aazam vol 2 Page 917
2) A Qadiani website confirms:
“All the members of the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha’at-e-Islam Lahore [Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement for the Propagation of Islam] believe in practising according to God’s Book, the Holy Quran, and the Sunnah [Actions] and Hadith [Sayings] of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, and if no specific direction is found there, they give precedence to the Hanafi school of jurisprudence”. http://aaiil.org/text/articles/light/ourbeliefsahmadiyyaislam.shtml
3) The same thing is written in the Muqaddama of the book “Fiqha Ahmadiyyah” that if a masla is not found any where in Quran and hadeeth then act upon the hanafi fiqh.
In Page 15 of Vol 2 this books it says: “The Source of Ahmadi Fiqh is the same as Hanafi Fiqh”
SubhanAllah.
4) “My Madhab is that the Hanafi fiqh must be acted upon” [Malfoozaat vol 5 page 124]
5) “Once for the purpose of Deen, hadhrat maseeh mow’ood (mirza Qadyani) wrote to hadhrat molwi noor ud deen sahb that“You declare that I am a Hanafi ul Madhab” even though he knew that hadhrat molwi sahb was Ahlul hadeeth in Aqeedah.” Seerat ul mahdi part 2 pg 48
Subhan Allah, not only was Mirza a Hanafi himself but he made hanafi out of others as well. Hakeem Noor ud deen was a Munkar of Mu’jizaat (Rejector of miracles) and the first Khalifah of Mirza.
6) In Malfoozat e Noor Vol 1 Page 54, Munshi barkat Ali hoshyarpuri writes under the Title “Mirza sahb kis firqa se thay” (To which group did Mirza sahb belong to?)
“Mirza Sahab was from Ahl us-Sunnah wal Jama’ah and specifically belonged to the HANAFI MADHAB.” [Malfoodhaat Noor Part 1 P. 54]
7) Peer mehr ali shah is the Akaabir of Deoband and barelvis, You can see his name in the book “Akaabir Ulama e Deoband”. He writes in his book “Saif-e-Chishtiyaai” in the Muqaddama:
“the forefathers of Qadyani were Hanafi ul Madhab and Mirza sahb himself followed their foot steps.”
The same thing repeated in Mehr e Muneer page 165.
8) A Mirzaai author, Murtaza Hasan writes:
“We specifically adhere to the Fiqh of Imaam Abu Haneefah. And this is what our Imaam Hadhrat Mirza Sahab has recommended us.” [Mujaddid Zaman P. 217]
The same person further said:
حضرت امام ابوحنیفہ کو ہم امام اعظم مانتے ہیں اور ان کی فقہ پر عموماً عمل کرتے ہیں۔آپ ہمارے متعلق جو چاہیں کہیں آپ کی زبان اور قلم کو کون روک سکتا ہے۔
“We consider Imaam Abu Haneefah to be Imaam A’dham and we follow his Fiqh, no matter what you may say about us, we cannot stop your tongues” [Mujaddid Zaman, P. 123]
9) The recent leader of Qaadiyaanis, Mirza Naasir Ahmed has explicitly proclaimed in his Yearly Gathering that:
“ہمارا فقہ حنفی فقہ ہے”
“Our Fiqh is Hanafi Fiqh” [Roznamah Nawai Waqt Vol 37, Shumara 212]
10) The Ameer of Mirzaais in Lahore, Maulwi Muhammad Ali writes:
“Hadhrat Mirza Sahab has remained a Hanafi ul Madhab all this life from beginning to the end with prelection” [Tahreek Ahmadiyat, Part 1 P. 11]
11) “In Usool he (mirza Qadyani) always expressed/showed himself as a hanafi and he never liked the term Ahlul hadeeth for him self at any time.” Seerat Ul Mahdi, part 2, pg 49
OBJECTION: Some people quote the later part of this reference which says:
“Even though if we look with respect to Aqeedah and ta’amul then he (mirza qadiani) was similar to the ahlul hadeeth as compared the hanafis”
A lot of deobandis present this reference as proof of mirza to be ahlul hadeeth. This whole article is a basically a refutation of such bogus claims, however later on in the article i have proven that Mirza was a taqleedi hanafi in Aqeedah and was against the masaail of Ahlul hadeeth such as rafa yadain,saying ameen loudly, 1 rakat witr and so on. Please keep reading the article.
12) “Our Madhab is contrary to the Wahabis, It is wrong for us to leave taqleed… Whoever comes to us, he must first has to adopt HANAFIYAT… the reason of people being spoiled today is only that they do have left following the Imaams… the ones that follow them are very good according to us” [Malfoozaat vol 1 Page 534]
Note: The term Wahabi is used for Ahlul hadeeth, Deobandis are not Wahabis:
Barelwi muqallideen have a very bad habit that who ever opposes them or their beliefs, they term him as a wahabi. The Ahlul hadeeth have always opposed their shirk and innovations and hence we are unanimously the “Wahabis” for them. Similarly the deobandis have opposed them on some issues and hence barelwis have often termed the deobandis to be wahabis as well and some deobandis also call themselves wahabis but the reality is that term “Wahabi” is genuinely used only for the Ahlul hadeeth and the Deobandis have nothing to do with it. In Malfoozaat hakeem ul ummat Vol 19, page 106 , Ashraf Ali thanvi explicitly denies being wahabi or clearly dismisses having any link to Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahab (Rahimahullah). See scan below:
He clearly denies having any link to Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab (Rahimahullah). He says that Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab is not from our Silsila of teachers, he is not from our elders and in the end he says that deobandis dont even know the history of Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab (rahimahullah)
In Majmooa Rasaail Jamit ahle sunnat from Lahore, it is clearly written that the wahabis are ghair muqallideen, deobandis are not ghair muqallideen.
Wahabi, Ghair Muqallid, Ahle hadees are all the same according to Ilyas Ghumman hayati deobandi.
13) “My heart has never been satisfied with these people (wahabis) and I never desire to be called a Wahabi. My name will not be found as a Wahabi in Any Book” [Malfoozat vol 2, Pg 515]
14) “He (Nasir Nawab) was of Wahabi Madhab and Mirza Sahb was of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah. At times they would get an opportunity to pray together and then they would often be arguing about their madhaahib” [Seerat ul Mahi vol 3 page 178]
Mirza Qadiani would often argue and debate with the ahlul hadeeth and the qadianis do not consider Ahle hadees to be Ahlu Sunnah wal Jama’ah.
15) In fact Mirza is known for doing debates against the Ahlul Hadeeth Scholars and used to take support of the Hanafi books in these debates. Mirza qadiani was the representative of hanafis and Shaykh Muhammad Hussain Bataalwi represented the Ahlul hadeeth. Seerat al-Mahdi vol 3 Page 5
You can clearly see in the scan that Mirza ghulam ahmad qadiani while debating Muhammad Hussain bataalwi, he presented a hadeeth with reference to sahi Al bukhari that the prophet s.a.w said If my hadeeth goes against the quran then leave it and take the quran. Muhammad hussain bataalwi got very angry at this and demanded to show this hadeeth from Sahi Al Bukhari. Sahi Al Bukhari was available with them but this hadeeth was not found any where in it. Then mirza got hold of “Todheeh Talweeh” which is a famous book on the Usool of hanafi fiqh and it was known that it was actually todheeh talweeh which contained that “hadeeth” with reference to Bukhari.
And further more, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani debated as a representative of the Hanafis against the Ahlul hadeeth. He was a representative of hanafis before he became murtad. Seerat ul Mahdi vol 2 Page 91, See scan below:
In this reference you can clearly see how mirza was brought forth as the representative of Hanafis infront of Muhammad Hussain bataalwi as “Wahabi” (Ahlul hadeeth). This reference further says that a huge gathering of people witnessed the humiliating defeat of Mirza Qadiani in this debate and he was left speech less by Muhammad Hussain Bataalwi.
Mujaddid e Aazam page 1343 also has a reference of Muhammad Hussain Batalwi debating Mirza qadiani.
All these references from Qadiani books prove that:
a) Mirza was not only a hanafi himself rather his forefathers was also hanafi.
b) Mirza was a hanafi before he became murtad and remained a hanafi after becoming kafir.
c) His whole cult is hanafi.
d) He debated the ahlul hadeeth and represetated the hanafis in debates before he became a murtad.
e) He was not only hanafi but also did dawah for people to become hanafi.
II) Tremendous similarities between Aqeedah of Mirza Ghulam Qadiyani and Deobandis/Bareilvis
1) Wahdat ul Wujood
2) Calling upon other than Allah e.g calling upon the Prophet Mohammad s.a.w or Ali r.a for help
3) Kashf ul Quboor
4) Rahmatal Lil Aalameen of Deobandis
5) Second Muhammad s.a.w
6) The Prophet s.a.w can be seen in an awaken state
7) Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani used to go for a chilla
8) La ilaaha ilAllah… Allahumma Salli Alaa…
9) Fabricating Durood Shareef
10) Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani had the Aqeedah that a hadeeth can go against the Quran and in such cases the quran should be preffered
III) Deobandis plagiarizing Qadiani books
Ashraf Ali thanwi almost copy pasted the whole book by Mirza Qadiyani
Muhammad Tayyab Qasmi copied fabricated hadeeth by mirza qadiani & claimed the same thing that the hadeeth is in Sahi Al Bukhari
The Aqeedah and Masaail of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani:
Now, the Aqeedah and Masaail of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani. The deobandi brothers go to another rock bottom level of their intellect to come up with another excuse in order to malign the Ahlul hadeeth and prove that Mirza Qadiani was a Ahlul Hadeeth. They pick up some masaail of Mirza Qadiani which are similar to the Ahlul hadeeth and they start boasting that Mirza was Ghair Muqallid Ahlul hadeeth. FOR EXAMPLE: They say that Mirza Qadiani is of the view that 8 rakat taraweeh is the Sunnah and Ahlul hadeeth hold the same view hence Mirza Qadiani was Ghair muqallid. Mirza qadiani was of the view that wiping over socks (Jurraabain) is permissible and Ahlul hadeeth also say the same thing, hence Mirza Qadiani was Ghair Muqallid Ahlul hadeeth. In doing so they forget that Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Shaf’ee, Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal and Imam Maalik and the sahih ul aqeedah salafs Rahimahumullah were also Ghair Muqallid.
https://systemoflife.com/articles/taqleed/2000002-salaf-us-saliheen-were-not-muqallideen
Not only that but they forget the fact that their own scholars say that the Sahaba were Ahlul hadeeth.
Khaleefah Majaaz of Haji Imdad ullah Makki, Muhammad Anwaarullah farooqi writes: “All the Sahaba were Ahlul hadeeth” [Haqeeqatul Fiqh Part 2 Pg 228 Published by Idaaratul Quraan wal Uloom Al-Islaamiya Karachi]
Muhammad Idrees Kandholvi writes: “All the Sahaba were Ahlul hadeeth” [Ijtihaad aur Taqleed ki Bay misaal tahqeeq Pg 48]
Will the deobandi ulama ever tell their public these hidden truths? I dont think so.
However, these brothers probably do not know basics of Islam or they hide the truth from the general public because the exact same Masaail are proven from the authentic ahadeeth, Muhadditheen, the fuqaha such as Imam Shaf’ee and the Hanafis as well.
InshaAllah in this section i will not only answer back fire these bogus taqleedi claims, I will also prove Mirza Qadiani had the Aqeedah of Deobandis, he was taqleedi deobandi in masaail and I will share a couple of references of how Deobandi “Ulama” plagiarized the works of Mirza Qadiani and printed them in their own books. First of all the Aqeedah
II) Tremendous similarities between Aqeedah of Mirza Ghulam Qadiyani and Deobandis/Bareilvis
1) Wahdat ul Wujood
Wahdat ul Wujood is one of the worst forms of shirk and this is one of the core beliefs of Deobandis and barelvis. The Ulama of Deoband propogate and defend this kufr but the majority of their public does not know this Aqeedah. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani had the same Aqeedah of Wahdat ul Wujood as well.
Haji Imdadullah Makki is the “Shaikh ul Ulama”, “Murshad”, “Syed”, “Aala Hazrat”, “The Shuyyookh ul Shuyookh of the Mashaaikh” of Deobandis. He writes in Kulyaat-e-Imdaadiya Page 18 printed by Darul Ishaat that:
“And after this he should be engrossed in the Zikr of HOO HOO so much so that he himself becomes the Mazkoor (i.e Allaah) and this is the meaning of ‘Fanaa dar Fanaa’. Upon achieving this state he will become a capapie of Noor”.
Note for those that cannot read urdu: I suppose that some deobandi might fool you into believing that the words in the bracket “(i.e Allaah)” is my interpretation but that’s not the case. The urdu text it self has this. Even if it wasn’t mentioned in brackets, yet mazkoor means the one whose Dhikr is being done.
Coming back to the wahdat ul wujood, So basically Imdadullah makki is giving a recipe for becoming Allaah.
On page number 35-36 he shares another recipe of how to “become God inwardly”. See scan below:
Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi confirms in Imdaad ul Mushtaq page 62 that, “He (Imdadullah Makki) used to say that the human being is outwardly a slave and inwardly (Batini) the Haqq (Allah).” Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi further elaborates, “The batin is the reality which is manifest in the human, and the batin should not be considered a part of the human…”
Deobandis seemed to have applied this recipe, hence in Fadhaail Sadqaat page 558 Published by Kutub Khaana Faizi, Molana Zakriya Kandholwi narrates a dua from Rasheed ahmed gangohi in which he is asking Allah to forgice him and says:
“O Allah forgive me… I am a Liar, I am nothing… What am I? I am nothing and whatever I am, It is You. And me and you are Shirk upon Shirk”
So he first admits that he is a liar, he is noting and then tells Allah that what ever I am, it is you as well and that me and you are shirk upon shirk.
Astaghfirullah… This is Wahdat ul Wujood. Now see the same Aqeedah of Wahdat ul Wujood from Mirza Qadiani
“I saw in my kashf that I am Allah Himself and I believed with certainty that I was definitely Him..”
Na Aoozubillahi min dhaalik. Now we all know that Tawheed Al Uloohiyyah is one of the three categories of Tawheed but Haji Imdadullah makki of deoband says about Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jelani:
“Hadhrat Ghous (Abdul Qadir Jelani) was in a state of Uloohiyyah (Divine nature)”. [Shamaaim-e-Imdaadia page 43]
Astaghfirullah.. Ma’az Allah..
Now Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani says about himself:
“I saw that His Capacity and His Power is boiling in me and His Uloohiyyah (Divine nature) is running through me…. And Uloohiyyah came over me with strength…” Roohani khazaain vol 13, page 103-104
Qadiani and Deobandis have the Aqeedah of Wahdat ul Wujood, the Ahlul hadeeth reject this outright kufr and shirk.
2) Calling upon other than Allah e.g calling upon the Prophet Mohammad s.a.w or Ali r.a for help.
Haji Imdadullah Makki in Kulyaat-e-Imdaadia page 90-91 has written a poem and clearly called upon the prophet s.a.w for help. In this poem he has also declared the prophet sal Allahu aleyhi wasallam to be “Mushkil Kusha” (Solver of difficulties). Please note that the same deobandis have said that ILAAH (God) also means “Mushkil Kusha”. Dil ka Suroor page 62, See scan below:
Now the Following is what Imdadullah said in this poem:
“O Glorious Messenger, it’s a request. O Muhammad Mustafa (s.a.w) it’s a request.
Your help is needed, O Prophet (s.a.w) my situation has gotten worse, it’s a request
I am stuck in a Severe difficulty, O my Mushkil Kusha (Solver of difficulty) It is a request.”
In simple words, he is expressive his difficulty and requesting the Prophet s.a.w to come and help him. Clearly he is calling out the prophet s.a.w by saying “Ya Rasool e Kibriya”, “Ya Muhammad Mustafa s.a.w”, “Ya Nabi s.a.w” and then later on called him “Mushkil Kusha”. On Page 103 of the same book Haji Imdadullah makki has called Ali radhi Allahu Anho Mushkil Kusha as well. This is the exact same aqeedah of Shias and barelvis.
Ashraf Ali Thanvi has also called upon Rasool Allah s.a.w for help in Nashrul Tayyab page 156
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani has done the same thing which is mentioned in Seerat ul mahdi vol 3 page 55:
“Hadhrat Maseeh Mow’ood has addressed a poem to the prophet s.a.w and asked for his help and Nusrah, hence he wrote:
اے سید الوریٰ مددے وقت نصرت است
Which means “O Prophet of Allaah, your Ummah is in a sensitive time. Come to help me as it is time for Nusrah (Victory)”
Deobandis and Qadianis call upon other than Allaah and they call upon Mohammad s.a.w. This is undoubtedly shirk and it has nothing to do with the Aqeedah of Ahlul hadeeth.
3) Kashf ul Quboor
Mirza Qadiani did dua on the grave of a saint so the person inside the grave got out of his grave and sat infront of him. Mirza told his mate that I would have talked to him if you had not been here.” Seerat ul Mahdi vol 1 page 71
There are a number of such stories found in Fazail e Sadqaat and other deobandi books. I will just quote one incident here from Arwah e thalatha
“Once, a person of Kashf went to the mazaar (tomb) of Hazrat Haji Sahib (Dhaamin) to recite al-Fatihah there. After reciting al-Fatihah he said, “Brother! Who is this esteemed man? He seems to be a very jolly person. When I began to recite al-Fatihah, he said to me, “Go and read al-Fatihah for a dead man. You have come here to recite al-Fatihah on the living. What is this matter?” Thereafter, I was informed by people that the person in the grave was a shaheed (martyr). [Arwah e Thalatha page 181 Hikayat number 205]
4) Rahmatal Lil Aalameen of Deobandis
The Prophet s.a.w was sent by Allaah as “Rahmatal Lil Aalameen” (Mercy to All Mankind) and only the prophet s.a.w is called Rahmatl Lil Aalameen by Almighty Allaah himself in Surah Al Anbiya verse 107 but some people have made up Rahmatal lil Aalameen of their own.
The Imam-e-Rabbani of Deoband, Rasheed Ahmed Gangohi writes in Taleefat-e-Rasheedia Ma’a Fataawa Rasheedia: Pg 104 that the word Rahmatal lil Aalameen is not just specific for Rasool Allah s.a.w and it can be used for Ulama, Awliya and Anbiya.
See Scan below:
Im not sure about him using it for other Anbiya apart from Mohammad s.a.w but have a look here, he is using the exact same term for Haji Imdadullah makki after he died:
“When Hadhrat Haji (Imdad Ullah Makki) Sahb died, we never left food even for a single time. But Molana (gangohi) got lose motion and couldnt eat for many days. At that time, many people heard him saying “Haye Rahmatal Lil Aalameen”. [Qasas Al Akaabir pg:77]
Ashraf Ali Thanvi explains in another place: “Hadhrat Gangohi would relate to Hadhrat (Haji sahb) again and again (as) Rahmatal Lil Aalamen.”
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani would also call himself “Rahmatal Lil Aalameen” [Tazkiratul Shahadatain page 3]
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon.
5) Second Muhammad s.a.w
We all know that Prophet Mohammad sal Allahu aleyhi wasallam was the one who Established Islam.
In Kulyaat e Shaikh ul Hind, the Shaikh ul Hind of deobandis, Mahmoo ul Hasan writes a poem and he declared Rasheed Ahmad gangohi to be the Second Establisher of Islam [Baani e Islam ka Thaani]”
Kulyaat-e-Shaikh ul Hind page 87, See Scan below:
Astaghfirullah.
Roohani Khazaain Vol 18, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani claims to be Muhammad-e-Thaani i.e Second Muhammad.
Naoozubillahi min Dhaalik. What you see in Deobandi books, the same is found in Qadiani books.
6) The Prophet s.a.w can be seen in an awaken state
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani was of the view that the prophet sal Allahu aleyhi wasallam can be seen while a person is in an awaken state. He claims to have himself seen the prophet sal Allahu aleyhi wasallam. This is mentioned in Roohani khazaain vol 3 in Izaala owhaam.
Deobandis hold the same belief that the prophet sal Allahu aleyhi wasallam can be seen while a person is in an awaken state. A Deobandi scholar Ali Mian has written about Sir Syed Ahmad khan that he met Abu Bakr r.a and Rasool Allah s.a.w in an awaken state. [Tareekh Dawat o Azeemat vol 1 page 128 part 6]
Also you can see Fazail e Amaal for such references.
7) Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani used to go for a chilla Seerat ul Mahdi vol 1 page 69
Deobandis also do chilla where as in reality there is nothing called as Chilla in Islam. The Ahlul hadeeth do not do any sort of Chilla.
8) La ilaaha ilAllah… Allahumma Salli Alaa…
A Mureed of Ashraf Ali Thanvi wrote to Ashraf Ali thanwi and asked a question. I will summarise that question. He says that:
“I saw a dream that I recite the kalma “La ilaaha ilAllah Muhammadur RasoolAllah” but instead of saying Muhammadur Rasool Allah I take the the name of Huzoor (i.e Ashraf Ali Thanvi)…. Then I try again to read the kalma shareef but I utter “Ashraf Ali” instead of “Rasool Allah s.a.w”… then I wake up… and recite Durood Shareef but still I utter
“اللهم صل على سيدنا و نبينا و مولانا أشرف علي ” even though I am now awake….”
Now The “Hakeem ul Ummat” of Deobandis responds back: “There is satisfaction in this incident because the person that you do Rujoo towards is a Follower of Sunnah” [Risaala Al-Imdaad Vol 3 Page 35]
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon. Ashraf Ali thanvi is praising the person instead of asking him to repent to Allah, to seek forgiveness and recitfy his severe error which could lead any one out of Islam. We all know mirza qadiani claimed prophethood so no need to present his proofs in order to prove the similarity here.
9) Fabricating Durood Shareef:
The English version of Fazaail-e-Durood by Zakariya Kandholwi Page 177 has a fabricated Durood of its own. See following scan:
This durood shareef is no where in any Quranic aayah or Sunnah. Similarly, A Qadiani wrote to Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani to ask him about a fabricated Durood whether its permissible to read it or no?
The Durood is in the following words:
صلی اللہ علیک یا رسول اللہ وسلمک اللہ یا رسول اللہ
Mirza Qadiani responded that it is permissible. Seerat ul Mahdi vol 3 page 55
So Qadianis and Deobandis fabricate Durood on their own. We Ahlul hadeeth read the Durood which the prophet s.a.w taught to the Sahaba. We do not fabricate any Durood Alhamdulillah.
10) Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani had the Aqeedah that a hadeeth can go against the Quran and in such cases the quran should be preffered. Roohani Khazaain Vol 4 pg 95
Mirza ghulam ahmad Qadiani is giving the same reference of the hanafi book ‘Tozeeh wa talweeh” and he mentions that “NON existant” hadeeth from Sahi Al Bukhari. See reference number 15 above.
The same usool is found in hanafi usool ul fiqh books such as “Usool al-Shashi” which is taught in deobandi madrassa. We Ahlul hadeeth believe that the prophet s.a.w did not contradict the Quran and there is not a single authentic hadeeth which contradicts the Quran.
III) Deobandis plagiarizing Qadiani books
1) Ashraf Ali thanwi almost copy pasted the whole book by Mirza Qadiyani
Mirza wrote a book, “Islami usool ki philosophy”. This book is also available in Roohani Khazain vol 10. The “Hakeem ul Ummat” of deobandis i.e Ashraf Ali thanwi was so impressed by this book that he almost copy pasted the whole book, gave it the name “Ahkaam e Islam Aqal ki Nazar mei”, put him self as the author and published it. LOL
I am just presenting one reference from Both the Books. Just note if there is any difference in both of them:
Roohani Khazaain Vol 10 , page 338,
Ahkaam e Islam Aqal ki Nazar mei by Ashraf Ali thanvi, page 205
Do you see any difference?? No.
2) Muhammad Tayyab Qasmi copied fabricated hadeeth by mirza qadiani & claimed the same thing that the hadeeth is in Sahi Al Bukhari
Mirza ghulam ahmad qadiani fabricated a hadeeth of his own that is not found any where in the treasures of ahadeeth. He was the first person to fabricate this hadeeth and he said it is in Sahi Al bukhari. You can see this reference in Roohani Khazain Vol 6 page 337.
The wordings are “This is Khaleefatullah Al Mahdi”
Later on, the “Hakeem ul Islam” of deobandis, Muhammad Tayyab Qasmi was impressed with this freshly fabricated hadeeth and he copied the same lie of mirza qadiani, claimed the same thing that the hadeeth is in Sahi Al Bukhari and printed it in his book Khutbaat e Hakeem ul Islam vol 7 page 430. He even added his own version of fabrication to the already fabricated lie. His version of the fabrication says:
“This is Khaleefatullah Al Mahdi, listen to him and obey him”.
You can see both the references as follows:
“Hakeem ul Ummat” and “Hakeem ul Islam” of deobandis, both plagiarizing from Qadiani books. SubhanAllah, what great service of deen.
IV) Masail of Mirza Ghulam Qadiyani showing dislike for various sunnah which are taqleedi qualities of deobandi and barelvi
1) Rafa Yadain, Saying Ameen loudly and reciting bismillah loudly
2) Hand Shaking (Musaafahah)
3) Joining the Rows and standing feet to feet in congregational Salaah
4) Rafa yadain Abrogated
5) Opposing One Rakaat Witr
6) Asking people to act upon the sunnah of Rafa yadain and Ameen etc is Fuzool
7) Touching earlobes with thumbs while raising the hands to start prayers
Mirza was not only a Taqleedi hanafi like deobandis in Aqeedah but he was also the same when it comes to Masaail. Following are some referenences to prove this.
1) Rafa Yadain, Saying Ameen loudly and reciting bismillah loudly:
Rafa yadain before Rukoo and after rukoo, saying ameen loudly and (at times) saying bismillah loudly is the sunnah of the prophet sal Allahu aleyhi wasallam. See link: https://systemoflife.com/fiqh/salah#axzz2YLopLYKX
But taqleedi deobandis dont do this and Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani never did Rafa Yadain, he never said Ameen loudly nor did the recite bismillah with a loud voice in Salaah.
Mian Abdullah Sinori sahb says that I never hadhrat sahb (Mirza Qadyani) doing Rafa Yadain or say Ameen loudly and neither did I heard him recite bismillah with a loud voice. [Seerat ul Mahdi Vol 1 Page 162]
The red underlined sentence states that Mirza never did Rafa yadain, Ameen bil Jahr or Bismillah bil jahr and the blue under lined sentence is of Mirza indirectly asking Abdullah sinori to quit rafa yadain and since then Abdullah sinori left doing rafa yadain and Ameen bil jahr. Alhamdulillah we Ahlul hadeeth do Rafa yadain, we say Ameen loudly and we recite bismillah loudly and silently (both) in congregational prayers. See the official qadiani website pics of how to offer salaah, there is no mention of rafa yadain in it either:
http://www.alislam.org/salaat/06Ruku.html
2) Hand Shaking (Musaafahah)
The Sunnah method of Shaking the hand is just by using one hand and Alhamdulillah the ahlul adhere to this sunnah. It is not sunnah to use both hands while shaking hands. http://islamqa.info/en/ref/92806
Taqleedi deobandis oppose us on this matter as well. The method of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani’s hand shake was the one which opposed the Ahlul hadeeth.
“He (mirza qadyani) would shake hands … he did not used to hand shake the way Ahlul hadeeth do”. [Seerat ul Mahdi Vol 3 Page 206]
3) Joining the Rows and standing feet to feet in congregational Salaah:
Joining feet to feet in Salaah is the Sunnah of the prophet sal Allahu aleyhi wasallam. Narrated Anas bin Malik (RA) The Prophet (SAW), said, “Straighten your rows for I see you from behind my back.” Anas (RA) added, “Everyone of us used to put his shoulder with the shoulder of his companion and his foot with the foot of his companion.” [Saheeh Al-Bukhari Book of Adhan, Hadeeth No.725]
The prophet s.a.w also said in another hadeeth while ordering the sahaba to arrange the rows: “…Do not leave any gaps for the Shaytaan..”
Deobandis have alot of enmity against this Sunnah of the prophet sal Allahu aleyhi wasallam and you can see in the masaajid if you try and join your foot with a deobandi’s foot, he will pull it towards him self. Mirza ghulam ahmad qadiani also did the same and didnt act on this Sunnah.
“Habeebullah sahb says that once I got an opportunity to stand in prayer with Mirza and since i was a Wahabi (ahle hadees) before becoming ahmadi, I wanted to join my foot with the foot of Mirza. But when I joined my foot with his foot, he pulled his foot towards himself. I got very ashamed and abstained from this act from there onwards.”
Seerat ul Mahdi vol 2 page 29. Then later on it is written on page 30, Mirza Basheer Ahmad M.A commented on this Sunnah and called it “Laughable”. Today the deobandis and barelvis mock this sunnah and say “Don’t give so much gap between your legs that shaytaan goes between them”
May Allah guide them or deal with them, Ameen.
See pic below from qadiani website to know that they don’t join feet to feet in Salaah:
http://www.alislam.org/salaat/05qiyam.html
4) Rafa yadain Abrogated:
The prophet sal Allahu aleyhi wasallam did Rafa yadain before rukoo and after rukoo all his life. There is no proof that the prophet s.a.w left this. Infact a great number of the sahaba narrated Rafa yadain and there is no mention of the abrogation of Rafa yadain in any authentic hadeeth. See proofs in this link:
https://systemoflife.com/fiqh/salah#axzz2YLopLYKX
But our taqleedi hanafi brothers say that it is abrogated and the prophet s.a.w left doing it. The same thing is mentioned by Mirza Qadiani in Fiqh Ahmadiyyah vol 1 page 80 that Rasool Allah s.a.w did rafa yadain at some time but then later on he s.a.w left doing rafa yadain.
This is the same view of taqleedi hanafis that rafa yadain has been abrogated and that the prophet s.a.w left doing rafa yadain. The official Qadiani website has no mention of Rafa yadain in salaah either. The Link is provided above.
5) One Rakaat Witr:
It mentioned in sahi bukhari and sahi muslim that the prophet s.a.w prayed 1 rakat witr.
http://www.islamweb.net/emainpage/index.php?page=showfatwa&Option=FatwaId&Id=92752
Alhamdulillah the Ahlul hadeeth act on this Sunnah as well as the 3 rakat witr and 5 rakat witr. The Taqleedi deobandis oppose this Sunnah as well and Mirza Qadiani being a hanafi also said that it is not permissible to pray 1 rakaat witr. See scan below:
Tazkiratul Mahdi Page 116 it mentions that Mirza sahb was of the view that praying one rakat witr is not permissible. This is again the exact same view of taqleedi hanafis Deobandi and barelvis. We Ahlul hadeeth offer one rakaat witr as well Alhamdulillah.
6) Asking people to act upon the sunnah of Rafa yadain and Ameen etc is Fuzool (Unnecessary/waste)
In Seerat ul Mahdi vol 3 Page 44-45 it is mentioned that Muhammad Hussain Batalwi gave an advertisement to a certain person which contained 10 masaail from the sunnah including rafa yadain and Ameen bil jahr. Mirza called this advertisement as “Fuzool”.
“Mirza Deen Muhammad says that once Molwi Muhammad hussain bataalwi gave me an advertisement which contained the masaail of Rafa Yadain and Ameen etc and he had a reward of 10 rupees for the one that can answer them. It contain 10 Masaail. Hadhrat sahb (Mirza Qadiani) said: “Look! What a Fuzool (unnecessary/waste) advertisement this is.”
Such enmity towards the Sunnah can only come from Taqleedi hanafis.
7) Touching earlobes with thumbs while raising the hands to start prayers:
The prophet sal Allahu aleyhi wasallam never touched his thumbs with his ear lobes while raising the hands to begin Salaah. The Taqleedi hanafis do this and so did Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani. See scan below:
Seerat ul Mahdi vol 3 page 231. The Sunnah is to raise the hands upto the Shoulder or Upto the ears but there is no mention of touching the ear lobes in any Sunnah. See the following pic of the official qadiani website. Clearly they are touching their ear lobes with their thumbs which is no way the sunnah. The Taqleedi hanafis do this.
http://www.alislam.org/salaat/05qiyam.html
So Alhamdulillah this Article proves that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani was a taqleedi hanafi brother of Deobandis. May Allah guide us All, Ameen. And Allaah knows best.
