“during
the era his opposers (ie Rashid Ahmad Gangohis) were causing commotion
concerning the issue of Imkaan al-Kadhib (the possibility of Allaah
lying) and issued a legal edict of his takfir. In a gathering of Sian (a
reverend saint) Tawakul Shah Anbalwi a moulvi mentioned the divine and
holy Imams name and said he believed that Allaah could lie. On hearing
this Sian Tawakul Shah lowered his head an began to meditate (in a
trance) for a while and then lifted his head and said in punjabi, “What
are you people saying!!! I am seeing the pen of Maulana Rashid Ahmad
(Gangohi) writing above and beyond the (Allaahs) Arsh .” (Tazkirah ut-Rashid (2/322) (this was the outcome of his meditation)
Rashid Ahmad
Gangohi, a deobandi hanafi sufi churchfather who is considered one of
the pillars of the deobandi sect had a biography written about him. It
was per his sons instruction Masood Ahmad and the chief contributors and
annotators were also deobandi sufi churchfathers in their own right
from them were the likes of Ashiq Ilahi Meerthi, Abdul Qadir Raipuri and
Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri (or Ambethvi – the author of Muhannad). It was
essentially penned by Ashiq Ilahi and Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri
annotated it. Then Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri took it upon himself to
publish this biography.
2 points to be noted
There is ample evidence this book (ie Tazkirrah ur-Rashid) was published
in Rashid Ahmad Gangohis lifetime, so he saw it, read it and might have
even checked it. Although this is not exactly certain as there is no
publication date on the book and neither does the intro indicate
anything.
Secondly some deobandi quarters and “innocent sympathisers” may argue
that Rashid Ahmad Gangohi never actually wrote this. So we answer and
say this is not problematic from a number of angles. The first being his
close students, murids, disciples and sympathisers compiled and penned
the book and they were aware of his Aqidah and what it conformed to ie
essentially what his aqidah was. secondly, these compilers are the
pillars of the deobandi sect themselves and hold enormous weight so this
is detrimental in itself. Thirdly this book is his memoirs ie his
thoughts, what he presented to the people, how the people saw him and in
what light and his general teachings. At the very least we should
understand and hold this as a deobandi aqidah.
So
what do they say, and it indeed this type of belief and aqidah sends
shivers up the spine. In the same token let this be a reminder to the
deobandi sympathisers, when will you stop defending such anti Islam and
idolatrous aqidah
