Tablighi Jamaat and Wahabis in light of Ahadees
Note: Due to objections from Tablighi Jamaat and Wahabis that the Ahadees stated in this article were not found upon there research. We have posted below the Arabic Text and Ahadis number where possible.
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) has Prophesied that many individuals and religious sects will cause dissension and mischief till the Day of Judgment. He has made a particular reference to the Wahhabi/Tableeghi Movement.
Hazrat Abu Huzaifa (Radiallhu Anhu) narrates a Hadith concerning the leaders of the mischief makers: "I swear by Allah that the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) has not left out a single leader of Fitna from this day to the day of Qiyamah. Their followers would number 300 or more and further gave their names and that of their tribes." (Abu Dawood)
FIRST HADITH
Imam Bukhari (Radiallhu Anhu) quotes this Hadith from Abdullah ibn
Umar (Radiallhu Anhu) that the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam)
once prayed for Syria (Shaam) and Yemen. It is narrated that there
were some people of Najd also present in the gathering and they
requested the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) to make du'a
for Najd also. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) continued
saying: "O! Allah, Shower Blessings on Shaam and Yemen,"
The people of Najd again requested the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi
Wasallam) to offer prayers for Najd. The Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi
Wasallam) said: "It is a place of tremor and Fitna (Mischief)
and the horn of Shaitaan will rise from there." (Bukhari Shareef, Vol. ii, PP. 1050)
It can be deduced from the above Hadith that Najd is neither blessed nor a good place but one of Fitna and Evil. Najd has been deprived of the prayers of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) and therefore Najd has the seal of misery and misfortune and hoping for any good from there is going against the Will of Allah.
The Arabic word used
in the above Hadith is Qarnush Shaitaan, which normally means the
horn of Shaitaan. But the 'Misbahul Lughaat', a dictionary printed
in Deoband has the following meaning: "One who follows the
advice of Shaitaan." (Misbahul Lughaat, pp/663). Thus we learn
that a Najdi/Wahhabi group will emerge, as pointed out by Rasoolullah (Sallal
Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) and this group will follow the advice of
Shaitaan (Shaitaan refuses to respect Prophets and Saints, remember
his refusal to bow to Hazrat Adam (Alayhi Salaam) is mentioned in
the Quran. It will create havoc in the Muslim world. We are now
witnessing the emergence of the Wahhabis who, with the assistance
of petrodollars, are sweeping the Muslim world and are bribing them
into accepting Wahhabism as the official version of Islam. Wahhabism
is a disease but so many are misled into believing that it is curing
the Ummah of Shirk, Kufr and Bidah. It is being portrayed as a revivalist
movement. This is against the Ahadith. Looking at the geographical
position of Najd, it lies to the East of Medina. The Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) pointed towards the East and said:
"There, that is the direction from where Fitna will emerge."
SECOND HADITH
Abdullah bin Umar (Radiallhu Anhu) narrates in Muslim Shareef: "The
Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) once emerged from the
room of his wife, Hazrat Ayesha (Radiallahu Anha) and pointing towards
Najd exclaimed:
'This is the center of Kufr from where the horn of Shaitaan will
rise'."
(Muslim Shareef Vol. ii, PP. 1394)
THIRD HADITH
Allama Dahlan narrates an authentic Hadith in his book 'Addarus
Sunniah', which he has quoted from Sihaah.
The Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) is reported to have said: "There will
rise a group of people in the East who will recite the Holy Quran,
but alas, the Quran will not go beyond their throat. This group
will keep rising till the Day of Judgment and they will eventually
rise with Dajjal. Their main symbol will be to sit in groups (Halqa)."
(Addarus Sunniah,
PP. 50)
It should be noted from the above Hadith, that, the center of Kufr and Shaitaan is situated to the East of Medina. You will also note that Najd lies to the East of Medina from where a group of so-called Muslims will recite the Holy Quran but it will not penetrate beyond their throat. They will invite the masses towards the Holy Quran and religion. Now, if you examine the situation carefully, you would observe without any fear of contradiction, that reference is made to no other Group besides the notorious Tableeghi Jamaat whose one end is in Delhi and the other is implanted in Najd (Riyadh).
CONFIRMATION BY
MOLWI MASOOD AALAM NADWI
The above Nadwi writes in his well known book "Muhammad Ibne
Abdul Wahab" - on the side commentary: "The Southern part
of Najd has the famous town of Riyadh, the Capital of his (Wahhabi)
headquarters in Dariya. Both these villages are in the valley called
Waadi Hanifa (situated in Najd)." (PP. 16)
Allama Dahlan has quoted the following Ahadith from the Sihaah.
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "During the initial part of my Dawah in Mecca, I particularly invited the outside tribes who used to arrive during the Hajj season. From these tribes the most hostile and ugly reaction was from the Banu Hanifa tribe" (The same tribe in which Ibné Abdul Wahab was born. He founded Wahhabism which is begin followed by the Tableeghi Jamaat) (Addarus Sunniah, PP. 52)
He quotes a further Hadith, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (Radiallhu Anhu) reports that the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "From the tribes that live in Waadi Hanifa, Fitna shall emerge till the final era. That valley shall be notorious for its fitna because of the rise of false leaders." (PP. 52)
Hazrat Imraan, the son of Hazrat Haseen (Radiallhu Anhu) reports:
that the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) disliked three tribes life long. (1) Banu Saqeef; (2) Banu Hanifa; (3) Banu Umayya. (Tirmizi Shareef)
FOURTH HADITH
It is reported in Mishkat from Hazrat Abu Said Khudri (Radiallhu
Anhu) who narrates that:
"Once we were in the presence and company of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam). He was distributing booties (Spoils of War) when a person named Zul-Khawaisara, who was from the tribe of Bani Tamim addressed the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) "Oh Muhammad Be Just!" ". The Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied: "A Great pity that you have doubts, if I am unjust then who will be just, you are a loser and a failure." Zul-Khawaisara's attitude infuriated Hazrat Umar (Radiallhu Anhu) and he pleaded with the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) to permit him to slay Zul-Khawaisara. The Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) remarked: "Leave him, as his slaying will serve no good purpose, as he is not the only individual but there are a host of others like him and if you compare their prayers and fasting to that of yours, you yourself will feel ashamed. These are the people who will recite the Quran but it will not go beyond their throats, with all these apparent virtues they will leave the fold of Deen just like the arrow leaves the bow." (Miskhat Shareef, PP. 535)
FIFTH HADITH
The previous Hadith has also been narrated as follows: "A person
with eyes protruding, with a long beard and head clean-shaven came
to the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) and declared: 'O Muhammad! (Sallal
Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) fear Allah. "' The Prophet(Sallal Laahu
Alaihi Wasallam) replied: "If I disobey Allah, then who else
will obey Him? I am obedient to Allah at all times and never disobedient.
Allah has sent me as Amin(Honest for the entire world, but you don't
accept me as an honest man?' A Sahabi (Companion) became infuriated
and sought permission to remove him from the presence of the Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaihi Wasallam). The Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam)
prevented the Sahabi from doing so After the person had left, the
Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "From his
progeny will rise a Group who will recite the Holy Quran but it
will not go below their throats. They will leave the Deen just as
an arrow leaves the bowstring. They will kill the Muslims but spar
the idolaters. If I ever confronted these people I would slaughter
them just as the people of Aad had been destroyed" (Mishkat
Shareef, pp/535)
SIXTH HADITH
Shareekh Ibn Shihab (Radiallhu Anhu) also narrates a similar incident
of a person who displayed disrespect towards the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaihi Wasallam). He states the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi
Wasallam) said "Nearing Qiyamah there will be a Group of people
who will recite the Holy Quran but it will not go below their throats.
They will leave the true Religion of Islam as fast as an arrow leaves
the bow. They will be recognized by the shavings of their entire
head and they will move in Groups and their last Group will emerge
with Dajjal, when you meet them you will discover their nature and
character, the worst of its kind." (Mishkat pp/309 - Prints
may vary and pages may be different in other publications) The aforementioned
Hadith are the words of a Great and Noble Prophet of Allah (Sallal
Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) who is the possessor of Unseen Knowledge,
who knows the signs and the secrets of the future. All Praise is
due to Allah, that we do not have to search far for this Group,
as the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) has mentioned the different
signs of this notorious Group, so we are able to detect our enemies
without difficulty.
Another sign mentioned in recognizing this particular Group is that they will be so punctual and devoted to their Salaat, that one will feel ashamed of ones own Salaat compared to theirs. It is obvious that these qualities are prevalent amongst the Tableegh Jamaat. For example, you will agree that there are thousands of individuals, nay, many millions of individuals that are performing Salaat for a period of over 40 to 50 years, an yet, they do not possess a sign on their forehead (sign of Sajda) whereas, very surprisingly, the devotees of the Tableeghi Jamaat get the mark of Sajda on their forehead within a few weeks! The reason for this is very clear, they deliberately press and rub their foreheads on the mussallah to obtain the much coveted mark. This is to display to the Muslims, their so-called piousness. An other sign of this Group is that they will consider all other persons as being inferior to them and even those of high standing-in society are looked down upon by them. The most glaring sign of recognizing these people is their constant attempts in degrading the Prophets and Aulia (Prophets and Saints) of Allah.
These signs are prevalent amongst the Tableeghi Jamaat. They look down upon all Sunni Muslims who are, without any doubt, true and devout Muslims. They openly challenge the Ulema and Imams. They engage in discussions and arguments on matter which they themselves do not understand and yet they have the audacity to degrade the status and the Glory of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam).
In the fifth Hadith it is mentioned that another sign of this notorious Group is that they will shed the blood of fellow Muslims and will have no dispute whatsoever, with the' idolaters. This glaring sign is also present in the present Tableeghi Jamaat. You have often witnessed or heard that in certain Masjid the Tableeghi Jamaat had a dispute or in a certain Masjid the Tableeghi Jamaat had come with sticks, chains, knives, etc. You have also noticed that when and wherever they fight it is always with the Muslims and not with the Kafirs and Mushriks (Polytheists). You may have also noticed that when or wherever they confront the Kafirs or Mushriks, which is seldom or never, they tug their tails between their legs and run. This is true in India, during Hindu Muslim Riots.
In the sixth Hadith it was mentioned that a peculiar sign of this Group will be the shaving of their head completely. This act is now reckoned to be its sign and emblem as such they advise their followers and Mureeds (Disciples) to also shave their heads and therefore you will notice that most of them are bald.
A STRANGE FACT
The Arabic word Thaleeq (Shaving) as used in the Ahadith must be
taken into consideration. The common translation of the word Thaleeq
is clean-shaving of the entire head. The Deoband scholars in Misbahul
Lughat - page-148 give its meaning as 'to turn around and sit in
a circle'. This translation fits like a glove with the Movement
of the Tableeghi Jamaat, one translation is regarding them moving
around and the other indicating their sitting in circles in Masjids
and doing Kitab-reading as a splinter group detached from the other
Musallies. They cut across the Imam and display a defying attitude.
They never read the Quran. They love the Kitab written by Molvi
Zakariya. They will never participate in Khatamul Quran organized
in Mosques on certain nights or auspicious nights. If the Imam is
delivering Tafseerul Quran, or Darse Hadith or fiqah lessons or
even Zikrullah, these people never take part, as if they are super
Muslims and everybody else is 3rd grade! These Tableeghis are programmed
internationally to behave in this manner. It is not peculiar to
any one country. This is the global strategy to destabilize the
Muslims The anti-Muslim West has realized that they cannot break
the Muslims from outside. They will have to use a group of hypocrites,
who will use Western financial resources, and creep into Muslim
society, systematically dismantling them and fragmenting them. Remember,
all this is done in the name of establishing the Sunnah and "The
Mubarak Tareeqa" of our Beloved Rasoolullah(Sallal Laahu Alaihi
Wasallam), as claimed by them!
Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (Radiallhu Anhu) and Hazrat Anas (Radiallhu Anhu) report that the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) stated: "My Ummat is destined to differ and be divided. So a group will arise whose talks will sound very good but their character will be misleading. They will read the Quran but it will not descend below their throats (just oral reading). They will leave Deen just as an arrow pierces and goes right through the prey. They will not return to Islam. They are the worst of creation because of their nature and constitution. They will call the people towards the Quran and Deen whilst in reality they will have nothing to do with Islam. Whoever will confront them, he will be the most beloved servant of Allah. The Sahaba inquired: "Ya Rasoolullah, (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) what is their sign?" He replied: "Sitting in a Halqa (circle)."(Mishkat Shareef, pp/308)
SEVENTH HADITH
Hazrat Ali (Radiallhu Anhu) once narrated: "I swear by Allah
that to fall from the sky to the Earth is very simple for me, but
to utter one false word in reference to the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) is a very difficult and impossible task for
me."
Hazrat Ali(Radiallhu Anhu) then narrated as follows:
"I heard the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) as saying that as the Day of Qiyamah approaches there will appear a group of youths with a low mental capacity and understanding, apparently they will talk of good but their Imaan will not go beyond their throat and they will leave the true Deen like an arrow leaves the prey. Wherever you find them, you should make Jihaad with them. (Bukhari Shareef, pp/1024)
EIGHTH HADITH
The following Hadith is reported by Hazrat Abu Naim (Radiallhu Anhu)
in his book entitled 'Huliya'. Hazrat Abu Umana Bahili (Radiallah
Anhu) narrates that the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam)
said "Before the Day of Qiyamah, they (Tableeghi Jamaat) will
spread and attack bitterly like the small and the large insects
and whosoever witnesses this period must seek refuge in Allah." (Huliya)
Hazrat Hassan Basri (Radiallhu Anhu) narrated the following Hadith, "The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said that there will come a time when people will speak of worldly affairs in the Masjid and when this period arrives, keep away from such people as Allah has no relation with them." (Mishkaat)
In the previous Hadith, above, it is stated about this Group, that it will consist of youths of low mental capacity and understanding. If one desires to confirm this sign then one has to go to their Ijtima (as an observer) and one would find people of both these categories. You will also notice that a great number of ignorant people joining the Tableeghi Jamaat with the idea in mind that they are doing a great service to Islam. You will also find a group of little children from schools, colleges, madressas and the general public who without thinking or understanding join the Tableeghi Jamaat in the belief that they are rendering a religious service. These innocent, simple-minded individuals unwittingly become target of their deception and fraud. Thus, many youth and unwary persons have unconsciously joined the Tableeghi Jamaat due to their misleading tactics. In the eighth Hadith it is stated that before Doomsday the 'Mullahs' will multiply like the insects and the Masjids will be turned into a village pavilions or rural clubs. It is apparent from observation and experience that the Tableeghi Jamaat is a living picture of this Prophecy. There are a great number of individuals, who by merely reading a few pages of the "Tableeghi Nisab" (Teachings of Islam), automatically become Moulvies and Alims. These so-called Mullahs now utter disrespect and disregard for the Great Ulema, who have spent the best and greater part of their lives in attaining Islamic Knowledge at reputed colleges and Universities, here and abroad.
The state of Masjids has now become the center of various activities besides a place of Worship. These gypsies (Tableeghi Jamaat members) have transformed the Masjid into a hostel, with canteen and sleeping hall and engage in other worldly affairs. This disgraceful and tormenting attitude towards the Masjid is both shocking and disheartening.
NINTH HADITH
Sayed Allama Dahlan (Rahmatullahi Alaihi) quotes in his book 'Addarus
Sunnia' an authentic Hadith of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi
Wasallam) which states:
"There will be a Group of people emerging from the East who will recite the Holy Quran but it will not go down their throats. They will leave the folds of Islam like an arrow leaves the bow never to return. A feature to recognize this Group is that their heads would be shaven clean." (Addarus Sunnia, PP. 49)
From the above Hadith
it will be noted that since they deviate from the truth it is impossible
for them to return to the Right Path. This Hadith could be put to
a simple test by yourself, for the sake of confirmation of your
doubts, if any, then confront a staunch follower of the Tableeghi
Jamaat and try and influence him a thousand times and try t rid
him of his false belief and not to associate with those who degrade
the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) and to believe in the
true status of the Aulia Allah's (Saints). Surprisingly, you will
note that your attempts and confrontation will fall on deaf ears
and they will neither return t the truth nor will they try to reason
and see the truth. Muhaddith Kabir Imam Abu Ya'la (Rahmatullahi Alaihi)
narrates a Hadith from Hazrat Anas bin Malik(Radiallhu Anhu) and
the Author of 'lbriz' who states:
"Hazrat Anas Bin Malik (Radiallhu Anhu) narrates that in Medina,
there lived a very pious youngster. One day we made reference about
this youngster to the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam).
Inspite of the Sahaba describing the youngster's features and character
to the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam), the Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) was unable to recognize the youngster made
mention of. However, a few days later, whilst we were in the company
of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam), the young man
passed that way. On seeing the young man, the Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaihi Wasallam) exclaimed: 'I see the scabs of Shaitaan imprinted
on his face. The youngster then approached the Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaihi Wasallam) and made salutation. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaihi Wasallam) then said to him:'Is it not true that right now
you are thinking that there is no one better than yourself here,
'The youngster then replied: 'Yes, these thoughts did pass my mind.'He
then walked away into the Masjid. The Prophet then inquired as to
who will kill this person. Hazrat Abu Bakr(Radiallhu Anhu) volunteered
to do so and entered the Masjid and saw the person he was to kill
engrossed in performing his Salaat and he remembered a Hadith of
the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) which prohibited
one from killing a person who is performing his Salaat and returned
to the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam).
The Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) again inquired as to who will kill the youngster, this time Hazrat Umar (Radiallhu Anhu) volunteered to kill him and entered the Masjid and found the youngster performing his Sajda and with the same thoughts as Hazrat Abu Bakr (Radiallhu Anhu), Hazrat Umar (Radiallhu Anhu) returned to the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam). For the third time the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) again inquired who will kill the youngster, this time Hazrat Ali (Radiallhu Anhu) volunteered to do so, the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:'You will surely kill him, if you find him.'
When Hazrat Ali entered the Masjid, he was surprised to see that the youngster was no longer in the Masjid and he too like the others returned to the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam). The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: 'If you had only killed him then all the Fitna in my Ummah till Day of Qiyamah would have been wiped out and no two persons in my Ummah would have fought between themselves." (Ibreez Shareef, pp/277, Author Allama Shah Abdul Aziz Dabbaag (Rahmatullahi Alaihi)). The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) informed the Sahaba (Companions) that among my Ummah will rise a Group of people who will recite the Quran, invite to good talks, will be punctual for their Salaat and will be mindful of their fasting, yet they will have no relation with Islam. With this confusion in their minds the Sahaba asked the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) to forecast a sign to recognize this particular Group of people. The Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied that their head will be shaven clean or sitting in circles.
Let us all fervently pray to Almighty Allah, with the Grace and Blessings of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) that Allah grants protection to all true Muslims from this false an astrayed Sect. I invite you to be impartial and ask yourself one question. Where is that group which the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) described so vividly in so many Ahadith? Is it so difficult to pinpoint them? Surely these prophetic statements are a pen-portrait of the Tableeghi Jamaat.
SUMMARY OF AHADITH
Zul Khuwaisra - the man who showed so much disrespect to the Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) was from the tribe of Bani Tamim. The Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) foretold that the Wahhabi group who will
cause much fitna, will be the off-springs of the above Munaafiq.
Allama Dahlaan, the celebrated Historian of our era writes: "Zul
Khuwaira was of the Banu Tamim tribe and so was Ibne Abdul Wahab
Najdi." (Addarus Sunniah, pp/51). These Ahadith certainly do
not fit the Kharajees because they were not the off-springs of Bani
Tamim. Shah Abdul Haq the great Muhaddis of Delhi writes: "The
Kharajees were not the descendants of Zul Khuwaisra." (Ashatul
Lamaat, Commentary on Mishkat pp/535)
Moulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar has made the following observations
about the Wahhabi Najdi Jamaat: "The hands of Najd and Najdis
are red with the blood of Muslims, this is their only achievement.
Now too, there are hostilities with the Yemenis and a war is looming." (Maqaalaate
Muhammad Ali, Part 1,PP. 37)
