THE FADHAIL AMAAL OF THE ANCIENT ARABS

A Book of Strange and Wonderful Tales and its Eminent Translator

Professor Malcolm Lyons has brought alive for the modern reader the gripping yarns in Tales of the Marvellous and News of the Strange.

PLEASE READ OUR MESSAGE

Clarification: I do not hate our deobandhi brothers, may allah unite us and them in paradise. I appreciate their effort and hard work in bringing alcoholic, drug addict, rapist, and what have you, to the masaajid and help them realize they are Muslims but at the same time I detest their flaws in `Aqeedah and severe inclination to bid`ah. This blog is not directed against the common masses of deobandhiyah, for a vast majority of them are In sha allah excused. However, this has been created so as to refute those who despite being informed about the flaws and deviancy among the akabireen of deobandh, yet defend them, belie upon us and even go as far as adopting these deviant beliefs so as to prove their case. My approach is only directed towards those who seek the truth and against those who defend the lies

FAQ

Q1) Do you hate the Deobandhis as a whole ?

No, I do not. I in fact love the hardwork the Tableeghi jama`at exhibits and i have seen drastic fruitful results both locally and internationally. However, i do dislike their lack of tawheed and the overzealous ta`ssub of blind following their elders, which sometimes deviates many of their defenders. As explained above this website is only designed to refute the blind fanatic supporters of their falsehood. As for the common awaam or nice uncles i have no beef against them.

Q2) Do you oppose the 4 madhahib?

No i do not. I do not oppose the studying of any madhab and enrolling in universities or courses that teach a particular madhab. I am myself a student who learns from the `ulema of all the 4 madhahib. What i oppose is the blind following in regards to situations when it is made apparent that the truth lies elsewhere.

Q3) Are you a ghair Muqallid?

I am of those who propogate the strict adherence to the `Ulema and keep warning against self interpretations time and again via many articles of mine which i have penned down elsewhere. I do not call for the laymen or the awaam to neglect or reject the `Ulema of their locality or city or nation and rather take Adobe Pdf , blogger and google translators as their mentors. I however oppose blind following to any particular view which opposes the view closest to the sunnah or a view that is in accordance to dalail as-saheeha . One can be a hanfi , hambali etc and simultaneously not have to take his akabireen as his Lord.

Q4) Do you not recognize the efforts of Dar al-Uloom and Deobandhi `Ulema in the long run since independence?

Ofcourse i do both recognize , appreciate and many times cherish. However my criticism towards a set of deobandhi Akabireen does not in any way mean i am negating their other good and likewise my usage of the terms "Dar al-Uloom" is not aimed at the very structure and foundation of it, rather it is a gesture i use which should be understood and restricted in accordance to the post i am making
