Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

What do I write to a person who is ensnared in the napaak claws of the munafiqeen? Only this:One of the greatest persons to do ibaadat of the Almighty Allah was IBLIS, he left no stone unturned in his praise and worship of Allah yet He asked him to do sajda for Adam A.S. whom He had created from dust, and when he refused, was kicked out of heaven……….and so will be ur so called friend who is none other than the offspring of iblis disguised in the robes of worldly wisdom and self proclaimed knowledge of the paak kitaab of Allah, the Quraan. Ask this napaak person to explain to u the simple pillars on which Islam is based, the 7 DIAMATS and tell him to explain in detail just one of the pillars - what VALAAYAT means, forget about the translation of the whole Quraan Majid.  Even la-in abubakar (khuda ni laanat) was well versed in the sharias of Islam and was considered to be an oloma, Rasulullah S.A.W. used to spread a “bichhonu” for him to sit knowing very well that this very person was behind all the mischief against all that Islam stood for. When we, the humble followers of our dai mutlaq (T.U.S) keep quiet , it isn’t because we’re not knowledgeable, but because ur munafeeq friend doesn’t deserve to polish our jutta, let alone deserve our attention, the mumineen/mukhleseen and the true followers of Moulana Ali A.S. and His greatest Aashiq, Syedna Taher Seifuddin R.A. and now Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin Saheb T.U.S. By the way, why doesn’t ur cowardly friend come out in the open and challenge the validity of the presence of the office of Imam Zamam A.S. and in His SATR, the presence of the Fatemi Dais and especially the authority of our beloved 52nd Dai Mutlaq? Why does he hide behind vulnerable and WEAK people like u whose imaan/aquida is not strong enough to counter the attacks on the righteousness of our system, the system established by the ehle beit and then their sons the Imams and now the Fatemi Dais? The answer is very simple, he doesn’t have any evidence to prove that they are not right, with all his knowledge about the Quraan and the sharias of Islam, he cannot prove that he is right, why?? Because he knows he is wrong, all he can ever do is instigate simpletons like u, he is afraid that the cloak he’s wearing of being a true sunni (follower of Rasulullah’s S.A.W. sunnat) will fall off any moment and people will see him for what he truly is, the messenger of IBLIS!!And now, here’s a challenge for u. forward this e’mail to him, and here’s an additional message : may ur munafeeq friend burn in the fire of HASAD on earth and in the fires of Jahannam after death!!! Wud u dare?????? U wudn’t, because u’re one other coward!!

MAY ALLAH GRANT OUR BELOVED AQA MOULA (T.U.S) A LONG, HEALTHY,

HAPPY LIFE TILL THE DAY OF QAYAAMAT  (AMEEN)

Answer:

 

Valaayat

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and who-ever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Your comment: Ask this napaak person to explain to u the simple pillars on which Islam is based, the 7 DIAMATS and tell him to explain in detail just one of the pillars - what VALAAYAT means, forget about the translation of the whole Quraan Majid.

I take refuge in Allah from ‘forgetting’ the clear guidance and manifest wisdom of the Quran Majeed!

The Prophet (saws) said in an authentic narration: “The foundation of Islam is based on five pillars.

To testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, and Mohamed is Allah’s Messenger.

To establish the (obligatory congregational) prayers.

To pay Zakat (obligatory charity).

To observe fast during the month of Ramadan.

To perform Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah).

 

The Bohra belief of seven pillars is derived from a book called “Diam-al-Islam” (Pillars of Islam), written by a Fatimid scholar named Qadi Al-Noa’man ibn Mohamed ibn Mansor ibn Ahmed ibn Hayyun Al Tamimi before his death in Cairo, Egypt, in 363 Hijrah (353 years after the death of Prophet Mohamed (saws)). This book forms the constitution for the Bohra sect of Islam’s belief (rather than making the Quran their constitution!). It is from this book “Da’iam-al-Islam”, Book 1, Book of Faith, Paragraph 5 that Qadi Al-Noa’man has written:

“And from Imam Muhamed al-Baqir, Islam is based upon seven Pillars:

Walaya (Devotion to the Imam)

Tahara (Ritual purity)

Salah (Prayer)

Zakah (Poor Tax)

Sawm (Fasting)

Hajj (Pilgrimage) and

Jihad (Holy War).”

 

Now, we need to make a simple comparison between what has been reported from the Prophet (saws) and what has been supposedly reported from Imam Mohamed al Baqir.

The obvious difference is that from the original five Pillars of Islam as reported by the Prophet of Allah (saws), one has been removed (i.e. Shahaada,) and three have been added (i.e. Walaya, Tahara and Jihad)!

The new pillars of ‘walaya’ and ‘tahara’ were prioritized and added above the original 5 pillars declared by the Prophet of Allah (saws)!

There is absolutely no mention that Imam Mohamed al Baqir reported these 7 Pillars of Islam from the Prophet of Allah (saws)! It simply says, “From Muhamed al Baqir…”

There is a time gap of at least 225 years between the narrator of the Seven Pillars (Imam Mohamed al-Baqir) and the author of the book, Da’iam al Islam, Qadi Al Noa’man!

There is absolutely no mention of the “isnad”(list of narrators) in the whole Da’iam ul Islam, linking how did Qadi Noa’man receive the words supposedly narrated by Imam Muhamed al-Baqir! The author simply says 225 years after the death of Imam Muhamed al-Baqir, that he narrated it! This is absolutely against the principles, rules, and practice of reporting narrations!

 

The book Da’aim al Islam (page xiv) also goes on to claim that the three pillars were “added” by the Fatimid Imams who formed their dynasty from Egypt in the year 341 (a.h. after hijrah) upto 567 (a.h.), thus negating the earlier statement in the book that these seven pillars were narrated by Imam Muhamed al-Baqir!

 

The choice is yours: Follow Allah and Allah’s Messenger (saws) and form your beliefs and the Islamic constitution from the Holy Quran. Or ‘forget’ the Glorious Quran (as you say), and follow the book written by a person named Qadi Noaman and make that your constitution, in preference to the Holy Quran! The ‘supposed’ pillar of ‘walaaya’ was constructed by Qadi Noaman, and has absolutely no basis and no authority from the Book of Allah; the Al Quran, nor from the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saws), nor has the author given the ‘isnad’ (list of narrators) that these ‘extra’ pillars were added by Imam Muhamed al-Baqir! It is indeed inconceivable to imagine that a scholar and leader of the stature of Imam Muhamed al-Baqir would dare to change the words of the Messenger of Allah (saws), leave alone remove one pillar and add three pillars from himself! (We seek Allah’s refuge from the blasphemy these people create in the name of such pious leaders and Imams.)

 

Your Comment: Even la-in abubakar (khuda ni laanat) was well versed in the sharias of Islam and was considered to be an oloma, Rasulullah S.A.W. used to spread a “bichhonu” for him to sit knowing very well that this very person was behind all the mischief against all that Islam stood for. When we, the humble followers of our dai mutlaq (T.U.S) keep quiet , it isn’t because we’re not knowledgeable, but because ur munafeeq friend doesn’t deserve to polish our jutta, let alone deserve our attention, the mumineen/mukhleseen and the true followers of Moulana Ali A.S. and His greatest Aashiq, Syedna Taher Seifuddin R.A. and now Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin Saheb T.U.S.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 9 Surah Taubah verse 40: If you do not help (the Prophet, it does not matter). For Allah did indeed help him before when the disbelievers expelled him (from Makkah), and he (saws) was with no more than one companion. The two were in the cave, and he (saws) said to his ‘sahaabi’, “Have no fear: indeed Allah is with us.” Then Allah sent down His Peace upon him and strengthened him with forces which you did not see, and made the word of the disbelievers abased! And Allah’s Word is always Supreme, for Allah is the All-Mighty, All Wise!

 

The above verse is related in the Holy Quran by Allah Himself regarding the help that Allah bestowed on the Prophet (saws) and his companion, whom the Prophet (saws) chose to travel with during his Hijrah (Migration from Makkah to Medina). Allah Himself calls this companion Rasool Allah’s ‘sahaabi’ in the Holy Quran. It is no secret in the historical recordings of Islam, that the ‘sahaabi’ whom the Messenger of Allah (saws) chose on this most important Migration of Islam, was his life-long friend Abu Bakr.

 

And some misguided people today try to curse the one whom Allah Himself has called the Prophet’s ‘sahaabi’! May Allah’s curse be upon the people who curse the ‘sahaabis’ of the Messenger of Allah (saws), especially the one whom Allah Himself bestows the honor of being called a ‘sahaabi’ till the end of time, by being mentioned in the Glorious Quran! FEAR ALLAH!

 

The world has never seen and will never see another leader and statesmen of the like of the Messenger of Allah (saws). The people who are foremost in cursing the ‘sahabees’ and companions of the Messenger of Allah (saws), do not even realize that they, in fact, debase and defame Mohamed ar Rasool Allah (saws) Himself! What kind of a leader they think was the Prophet (saws), who could not even chose his closest friends and companions properly? What kind of a leader they think was the Prophet (saws), who would keep hypocrites close to his ranks? What kind of a leader they think was the Prophet (saws), who would go into battles like Badr, Uhud, Khandaq and Tabuk with a band of all hypocrites?

FEAR ALLAH, FOR HE IS WATCHING EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE SAYING AND DOING, AND HE IS RECORDING YOUR DEEDS IN YOUR BOOK OF RECORDS!!!! THE DAY YOU RECEIVE THIS BOOK OF RECORDS FROM ALLAH, WILL INDEED BE A DREADFUL DAY!! FEAR ALLAH, FEAR HIS ANGER, FEAR HIS WRATH, AND FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, FEAR HIS REVENGE FOR DEFAMING HIS PROPHET (SAWS) AND THE SAHABEES (R.A.)!!! May Allah have mercy on you!

Brother, we are out in the open and your leadership knows very well who we are, and know that, what we are guiding towards is the absolute Truth from the Holy Quran! These articles reach your ‘kothaar’ every week, and your Mufaddal Bhaisahebs and your Qaid Johar Bhaisahebs read these articles regularly! And no one, no one has the courage to reply to our challenges!! We challenge you and any of your aalims and bhaisahebs to reply to our articles and prove that what we are quoting and guiding from the Holy Quran is not true!!!

 

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah Bani Israel verse 81: And declare, “The Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. And falsehood is a thing that must by its nature, vanish!”

 

The fact is that the one who is ‘really’ in hiding is not us, but the ‘supposed’ Imam us Zamaan!!!!!! Tell your scholars to answer these questions, if indeed you are truthful, and we will post them on the forum.

 

When the Fatimid Dynasty came to an end, the 21st imam in succession, Imam Tayyeb was only four years old. His political enemies were determined to kill him, and thus Imam Tayyeb was escorted by his paternal uncle into hiding, to save the imam’s life from his enemies. Then, somehow, a lady by the name of Hurratul-Maleka was apparently given the supposed powers by the imam and she apparently chose the Dai as Syedna Zoeb as the first Dai.

 

The Dawoodi Bohras claim that the imam or descendants of the imam are alive and on the earth today and they correspond with the current Dai through ‘ilham’, which means dreams in Arabic, as if a human being has the power to come to the dreams of another human being!!! This system of succession and the correspondence with the Dai is never discussed openly, and left to the whims, fancies and imaginations of the leaders of the hierarchy. And Allah Alone knows best the truth (if there is any) behind all this fantasy!!

 

Even if we were to believe in this fantastic story, that an imam is alive on this planet earth and corresponds with the Syedna by ‘ilhaam’, a few logical explanations remain unanswered:

Where is the Imam today?

Is he alone living somewhere, or does he too have a following like the Syedna?

If he has a following in today’s world, we would definitely know it, as they would be similar in belief and actions to the Dawoodi Bohras. Wouldn’t they?

Why is he still in seclusion?

Why does he not come out and proclaim himself? There is no apparent threat to his life or belief today.

We are made to believe that the Imam and Syedna correspond to each other by ‘ilhaam’, whereby the Imam comes in the Syedna’s dreams. Has Allah indeed given any man the power to come in another’s dream at will and correspond with him? Allah did not even give this kind of powers to His appointed Messengers!!

Is it the same 4 year old Imam Tayyeb alive today after these hundreds of years, or is it his descendants?

Today we live in a secular and non-Godly world. There would absolutely be no harm to the Imam’s life or mission if he were to reveal himself to mankind today (if there is indeed one to be revealed!).

How come the leadership never mention anything about the Imam, except his name?

And the most important question of all…. If this concept of the appointment of the Imam is so important and pivotal to Islam and its survival, how come nothing (absolutely nothing) has been mentioned about it in the Holy Quran? How come the Messenger of Allah (saws) never mentioned anything about this Imam and his seclusion? Did Allah and His Messenger (saws) forget to tell us about this very important aspect of Islam and its survival?

 

Glory be to Allah! Allah and His Messenger (saws) did not forget anything that was needed for our guidance to Islam. If something is not from the Quran and Sunnah, then it does not form part of Islam… and there is absolutely nothing in either the Holy Quran or the Sunnah about the Imam, his seclusion, about the Dais, about their succession, about their superiority, about their correspondence through ‘ilham’, about …!!!! These are their wishful fantasies and their whims, which have absolutely no basis and no evidence in the Quran! Can you imagine the deen of Islam being based on these kind of mythological stories….. My dear brother, this Islam is the deen of Truth from Allah Subhanah and based on nothing but the Truth. …. Not some mythology story of a four year old boy hiding in seclusion for approximately 800 years and having the power to correspond with the Syedna by coming in his dreams at will!!! Nothing in Islam is illogical, and this fantastic story of the Imam and the Dai does not have an iota of logic around it!!!!

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 27 Surah Al Naml verse 64: Bring forth your evidence, if indeed what you say is the Truth!

 

What we do know is that the Holy Quran is the Book of Allah, which was revealed for our guidance. What we do know that is the Mohamed ibn Abdullah (saws) was appointed the Last Messenger of Allah. What we do know is that the deen of Islam was revealed in completion before the death of the Messenger of Allah (saws), and no changes are allowed in this deen. What we do know, is that to practice Islam, we only need to follow two things … 1. The Holy Quran and 2. The Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saws). If anyone is guiding from any other source than the above two divine sources, you can be assured of mis-guidance!

 

If any Imam, Dai, Syedna, Bhaisaheb, Sheikh, Mullah, or Aamil, is guiding and teaching us from the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saws), fine … He is our brother in Islam. But if anybody is teaching or guiding us from any other source, then we leave them immediately and come back to the guidance and teaching of the Holy Quran and traditions of the Messenger of Allah (saws). These two sources are the only sources to learn Islam from … in the past, at present, and in the future until the Day of Judgment, Insha Allah. There will never be a third source.

 

Your Comment: And now, here’s a challenge for u. forward this e’mail to him, and here’s an additional message : may ur munafeeq friend burn in the fire of HASAD on earth and in the fires of Jahannam after death!!! Wud u dare?????? U wudn’t, because u’re one other coward!!

May Allah have mercy on you!

We have fulfilled our part of the challenge… And now its your turn to answer the 10 questions listed above giving evidence from the Glorious Quran, if indeed what you claim is the Truth!

 

And we close with these powerful words from none other than Allah Himself:

 

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah Bani Israel verse 81: And declare, “The Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. And falsehood is a thing that must by its nature, vanish!”

 

May Allah have mercy on the Ummah of Islam. May Allah guide you and us all to the Straight Path of Islam. Ameen.

 

May Allah guide you and us all to the Straight Path of Islam.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your Brother in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
