Deoband is also before you. You have now to decide 3 things, with
justice.
Firstly, do you agree with the above mentioned verdicts issued by the
Deobandi scholars, or not.
Secondly, are these verdicts contrary to the lawful traditions and
customs practiced in the Muslim world, or not.
And thirdly, is the religious and social system of our Muslim society
harmed by these verdicts or not.
If yes, and surely yes, then according to these verdicts, is the
entire Muslim society involved in forbidden acts from dawn to dusk?
And if so, where does our Islamic society stand?
This is the stage where you have to draw a line between the scholars
of Deoband and that of Bareilly - and you must arrive at the
conclusion that all the efforts of the Deobandi scholars were directed
at proving that the entire Muslim society, each and every member of
it, was a sinner - whereas the efforts of the Ahle Sunnah Bareillvi
scholarswas to prove that unless an act is explicitly forbidden by
Allah or theHoly Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then no
one has the right to forbid it. Terming the ethical and religious
customs upon which the Muslim societyis built, as forbidden (Haram) is
a clear deviation from proven facts and an open enmity with the
Muslims.
If my readers adopt a fair stance, they will have to admit that all
the efforts of the Ahle Sunnah Bareillvi scholarsare in support of
majority of the Muslim Ummah, whereas those of the Deobandi
scholarsare directed against it.
Can there be a greater ingratitude other than taking those who are
hell bent upon attackingand ruining us, as our greatest well-wishers -
whereas on the other hand to deem those whohave put their lives and
status in danger for us, as our greatest enemies?
CONCLUSION OF PART ONE
The purpose of clarifyingthe foundations of our differences, up to
what I have written until now, is that the readers may clearly
understand the nature of differences, and may not attribute our anger,
frustration and separation for any other reason.
If the assault of the insolent pen of Deobandwas on us, there could
have been plenty of ways for forgiveness andreconciliation. But the
fact is that they tried to harm the honor of the Holy Prophet (peace
and blessings be upon him), and have thereby causedsuffering to Allah
and HisHoly Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) - and so the
decision regarding them will come from these sources.
We do not have any direct relationship with any scholar - it is
through the means of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon
him). When someone severs his relationship with the Holy Prophet, then
the question our having a relation with him does not arise. Rather the
spirit of loyalty towards the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be
upon him) demands from us that as long as we live, we shall not only
have our relations severed with such blasphemers, but shall continue
our struggle of keeping eachand every Muslim away from them.
