Criticism on Islam by Moadoodi

Information taken from:
Jamaat-e-Islami
by: Allama Arshadul Qaderi.
Maktaba Jaame Noor, Delhi.
All quotes are with references with page numbers. You can buy these
books by Moadoodi from India or Pakistan.
According to Moadoodi, Sun Worshipers, Stone Worshipers etc. are on
the right path too:
Moadoodi, "Insaan (Human) believes in Khuda (Allah) or not, does
Sajdah to Khuda or stone, worships Khuda or non-Khuda, but if he/she
is following the rules of nature and live by those rules then indeed
he/she without knowledge and without intention is doing Tasbeeh of
Khuda. Worshiping HIM.(Allah)."
(Tafheemat, Part 1 Page 43)
What happed to Wehdaniyat (Allah Tala's ones, La ilaaha illal lah) and
ONLY Allah's worthiness of worship? According to Quran and Ahadith any
one worships other then Allah Tala is Kafir but to Moadoodi they are
on the right path. Here clearly Moadoodi is rejecting Allah and
Rasool's (Peace be Upon Him) orders.
Criticism on Quran and Allah Tala's Orders:
Moadoodi, "Where the quality of social behavior is so low that illegal
(islamically illegal)relationships (between men and women) are not
considered wrong. To impose the Sharai (Islamic Law) punishment of
Zina and Qazaf there, is indeed a Zulm (Torment)"
(Tafheemat, Part 2 Page 281)
Who ever rejects one Ayat of Quran is definitely not a Muslim. Here
Moadoodi has rejected the Quran's punishment on Zina. TheQuran is The
Word Of Allah Tala. Therefore Moadoodi has a problemwith Allah Tala's
prescribed punishments.He thinks he knows what's better for people and
what's right and what's wrong. More then Allah Tala (Naoozubillah).
According to him it's not a must to believe in Prophet Mohammad Peace
Be Upon Him:
Moadoodi, "Those people who, due to ignorance and illiteracy, do not
believe in the truthfulness of Rasoole Arabi (peace be upon him) but
believe in the previous prophets and live peacefully will get asmuch
part of Allah's Rehmat (Blessings) as their punishment will
bereduced."
(Tafheemat, Part 1 Page 168)
Rejection of Kalaima here from Moadoodi. How can one be blessed if
he/she does not believe on the second part of Kalaima (Mohamamdur
Rasool Allah) Another example of Modoodi's rejection of Allah and
Rasool's (Peace be upon him) teachings and rejection of a must Islamic
belief.
Criticism on Prophet Peace Be Upon Him:
Moadoodi, "The reason Nabi Sallal Laho Alaihi Wasallam achieved the
great success in Arab was simply for amazing recruits YOU (peace be
upon him) had found. If HE (peace be upon him) had surrounded by weak,
coward, untrustworthy and ill willed people then would HE (peace be
upon him) have achieved the same results"
(Tehreeke Islami ki Ikhlaqi Bunyadain, Page 17)
What How about Allah Tala's assistance? How about our beloved Prophet
Peace be upon Him's Prophetical abilities? In other words the
abilities of the people who became Mo'min and none of the one who made
them Mo'min was the cause of success.
Criticism on Sunnah:
Moadoodi, "To make, theroutine domestic tasks YOU (peace be upon
him)performed out of habit, Sunnah and ask all the humans of the world
to follow them. Allah and Rasool (peace be upon him) never never
intended that. This is an addition in religion.
I believe that, to acknowledge these things as Sunnah and then insist
to follow them is a harsh Bid'ah and a dangerous addition. This has
showed bad results and might produce bad results in future too."
(Rasaail O Masaail, Part 2 Page 300, with referenceof Magazine
"Mansab", Risalat addition)
No Sunnat in a Muslim's life? Following Sunnat is Bid'ah? Allah and
Rasool (Peace be upon him) never intended that? HasModoodi ever read
Quran and Ahadith Oh sorry this guy's Quran translation (which is full
of errors) is in most of the houses of the world, so he must have. I
wonder should people carry on with his Quranicwork Or throw those
copies in the ocean? Dear Muslims save your Imaan. Please.
Moadoodi's His denial of Ahadees:
Moadoodi, "The teachings of Quran and Sunnate Rasool are a must for
all but not from the old collection of Tafseer and Ahadis."
(Tanqihaat, Page 114)
Hmm, no old collection of Ahadis? How would it be possible unless we
get a new Rasool? Or a new Rasool every few years to keep the Ahadith
fresh?
Moadoodi's constitution for Jamat-e-Islami's membership:
Moadoodi, "No one would be added as a member in Jamat on the
conception that he was born in a Muslim's home,his name is like
Muslims then he must be a Muslim.
Similarly if some one recites the words of Kalaima Tayyaba only with
his tongue without understanding it's meaning, that person won't be
able to join Jamat"
(Dastoor Jamate Islami, Page 26)
If to born in a Muslim home, to have a Muslim name, to recite Kalema,
are not enough to accept any one as a Muslim then what are are the
right criteria?
Unless we witness the Kufriyat from that person like we have been
witnessing from Moadoodi we have to accept them as Muslims according
to Quranic and Ahadith teachings. IfQuran and Hadis teaches us that,
then who is Moadoodi to deny those Laws of Shariat?
These are the few are quoted here but the list goes on and on. What a
fraud he was.
Conclusion:
All of the above can be varified by buying and reading those books.
It's an apeal to all muslims please do not read his tafseer or
translation of Quran. It has many critical errors as he goes on with
his mind and what he believes insteadof what actual meaning should
come out of Quran. Allah tala save us all from his fitna, Ameen.

How to perform Qaza Namaz of life time easily

If someone have missed Salahs in their account. Either one time's or
of many years, they must pray their Qaza as soon as possible. Salah is
a Fard and not forgiven. On the day of judgementSalah will be the
first thing asked about.
For the people who havemany years of missed Salahs. There is a way to
pray them quickly. Following instructions have four exeptions and has
all Fards and Wajibs for a complete Salat. Please pray your Qaza as
soon as possible. Even of you could pray one days Qaza Salahs every
day which are only 20 rakahs(3 wajib witr), please do it. It only
takes few mins to perform 20 rakahs according to the following
instructions.
1) In Ruku and Sajdah instead of reciting"Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem" and
"Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" three times, say it only once. But make sure
do not leave Ruku poster untill the Meem (M) of Azeem has been said
properly. Similarly do not leave the posture of Sajdah until Ala has
been said completely. Just make sure to say these Tasbeehaat properly
anddo not rush.
2) In third and four Rakah of Fard Salah instead of reciting the whole
Soorah Fatiha say,"Subhan Allah" three times and go to Ruku, . Make
sure "Subhan Allah" has been recited three times properly, do not
rush. This exeption isonly for Fard. In third rakah of Witr it's a
must to recite full Soorah Fatiha followed by at least three ayahs of
Quran or a soorah (as weusually do in first and second rakah).
3) In last Qaidah (when we sit for Attahyyat) before Salam, after
Attahyyat instead of full Durood and Dua just say,"Allah Humma Salle
Ala Sayedena Mohammad Wa Aalihi", then finish the Salat with Salam.
Dua is not a must here.
4) In Witr, instead of full Dua-e-Qunoot just say"Rabbigh Fir Lee" one
or three times.

Masturbation is prohibited in Islam

Allah (Exalted is He) says: "And those who guard their private parts
from their wives and those (slave-girls) which their right-hands own -
so there is no blame upon them. Then whoever seeks beyond that (which
is lawful), they are the transgressors".
Masturbation is also considered as "seeking beyond" with reference to
the Quranic verse above.
Suhail son of Sai'd (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the
Holy Prophet (Allah's' Grace & Peace be upon him) said: Whoever
givesme the assurance (not tounlawfully use) what is between their
jaws and their legs (i.e. the tongue and the private parts), I give
them the assurance of the Heaven.(Bukhari)
Abu Hurrairah (may Allahbe pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet
of Allah (Allah's Grace & Peace be upon him) said: Whoever
Allahprotects, from the evil (sh'r) of what is betweentheir jaws and
between their legs, will enter Paradise. [Tirimzi]
Imam Shamsuddin Zahabbi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates a
Prophetic narration that, "Seven people are such that Allah has cursed
them and He will not even casta look of mercy upon them on the Day of
Judgment. Allah will tell them to enter Hell with the people who are
going to Hell, except those who repent.
1. One who performs theact of sodomy.
2. One upon whom the act of sodomy is performed.
3. One who does bad deeds with animals.
4. One who marries his mother or sister.
5. One who masturbates." (The words of the hadith says these seven
people but lists five - Kitab-ul-Kaba'ir p.48)
Allama Mahmood Alussi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates in
Ruh-ul-Ma'ni: "Atta (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I have
heard that on the Day of Judgment one group will be brought in such
away that their hands willbe pregnant. I think theyare the
masturbators." Allama Alussi further says: Saéed bin Jubayr (may Allah
be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (Allah's Grace & Peace
be upon him) said: "Allah Exalted will inflict punishment on a group
of people because they misused their private parts." (Ruh-ul-Ma'ni p.
291)
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet of
Allah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The person who performs
marriage [nikah] with his hands (i.e. masturbates) is cursed." (Fatawa
Razaviyya, Vol. 10, p.80)
Abdullah bin Masood (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the
Holy Prophet (Allah's Grace & Peace be upon him) said: "O group of
youth! Whoever from among you can marry should do so because it keeps
the gaze low and it protects the private parts. And he who cannot
marry should fastbecause fasting breaks lust." (Muslim – Book of
Marriage)
Mufti Waqar-ud-din Al-Qadri (Hanfi) writes in"Waqar-ul-Fatawa" (Vol.
1, P. 269): "If a person is overpowered by sexual desire such that
there is fear of him becoming involved in adultery or he is not
capable of marrying or his wife is so far that he can't go there. Then
it is hoped there is no punishment for the one doing this
[masturbation]. It is written in "Durr-e-Mukhtar" (Vol. 2, Pp 109) (by
Sheikh Alla'ud Din Muhammed son of Ali Haskiffi, died 1088H): 'If
there is fear of committing adultery then it is hoped that there is no
punishment on the one doing this (masturbation)'. Allama (Syed
Mohammed Amin Ash-Shaheerba Bin Abideen) Shammi, (may Allah's mercy be
upon him, died 1253H) has also argued on this quitea lot and decided
that if he does this with the intention of saving himself from
committingsin it will not be a sin and if he does it with the
intention of enjoyment he will be a sinner."
The Holy Prophet (Allah'sGrace & Peace be upon him) said, "No doubt
the virtues wipe away the sins". Therefore a masturbator must
repentsincerely with an intention that he will never commit it again
and do good deeds. According to a Propheticnarration, "The one
whorepents is like the who does not have any sin."

Confucianism

Definition
Confucianism is the relig i on of the anc i ent Ch i nese, named after
the great philosopher Confucius who appeared in the sixth century B.C
calling for the revival of the religious values and traditions that
the Chinese had inherited from their forefathers. To these values, he
added his own philosophy and moral valuesleading to sound behaviour .
Although Confucianism became the official ideology of the Chinese
state, it has never existedas an established religion with a church
and priesthood.
Prominent Figures
Confucius is regarded as t he real founder of this Chinese philosophy.
He was born in 551 B.C. in Tsou, one of the cities of the Lu
principality (n ow called Shantung province). Originally, hewas called
' Kung Futze '; 'Kung' isthe name of the tribe to which he belong ed
and 'Futze ' means the president or the philosopher .
Thus, his name meant the 'President of Kung ' or the philosopher of
that tribe. Confucius belonged to a very aristocratic family which had
deep roots and a respected history in that area. His grandfather was
ruler of the province a nd his father was an excellent military
officer. Nevertheless, he himself was the offspring of an illegal
marriage and his father died before he wasthree, leaving his up
bringing to his mother.
Thus, he l i ved as an orphan, worked as a shepherd and married at an
e arly ag e before twenty. He had two children, a boy and a girl, but
his wife was not able to con tinue living with him for more than two
years due to his met iculous manners with regard to food, drinks and
clothing, so they divorced.
Confucius studied philosophy with a man by the name of Professor
Laotse who believed in contentment and absolute tolerance.
Nevertheless, Confucius disagreed with his professor later on when the
latter called for 'an eye for an eye'to maintain justice.
At the age of twenty-two, he established a school for studying the
essence of philosophy. His students increased in number till they
reached three thousand.
Confucius, confident in his ability to reorder society, held a
numberof important jobs: he worked as a consultant to princes and
governors, was appointed judge and governor, minister of labour,
minister of justice and finally prime minister in 496 B.C. In his
capacity as prime minister, he sentenced some ex-ministers,
politicians and riot-makers to death, thus making his province ideal
with regard to applying his philosophical values and ideas.
Later, Confucius devoted his time to making trips to the various
cities and towns of China, offering wisdom and consultation to the
rulers and inviting people to adopt his values and traditions.
Finally, he resorted to his province Lu wherehe devoted most of his
time to teaching his friends, summarising the books of the ancients
and introducing them tothe people. He died in 479 B.C. at the age of
seventy-three.
The Basic Beliefs of Confucianism with Regard to God, Angels and the
Spirits of their Ancestors
God: Confucianists believe in many gods, though it is said that they
believe in the great God, the Lord of Heaven whom they worship and to
whom they offer sacrifices. However, these sacrifices are to be
submitted through the mediation of the king or the princes of the
different governorates. The earth also has a god that is worshippedby
all the Chinese, as do the sun, the moon, the stars, the clouds and
the mountains, and to each sacrifices are to be offered.
Angels occupy a very high position in the Chinese religion; they are
consecrated and sacrifices are offered to them as well.
The spirits of the ancestors are also consecrated by the Chinese: They
believe in the immortality ofthese spirits and that they never die
with the death of the bodies. The sacrifices offered to these spirits
are given at celebrations where large banquets are extended,
accompanied by music to help the spirits rejoice and feelhappy. In
every house, there is a small temple for the spirits of thedead and
the gods of the householders.
Confucianism does not believe in the Hereafter, Paradise or Hell, nor
does it accept any belief in Resurrection. Confucianists are mainly
concerned with improvingtheir life affairs with no regard for the
destiny of the soul after leaving the body. One of the disciples once
asked Confucius about death, Confucius answeredsuccinctly: "We haven't
yet finished studying life to delve into the question of death."
Confucianism is mainly concernedwith moral values, which form the
cornerstone of its philosophy and the basis of its religion. It tends
to teach the individual to absorb these values until they become part
and parcel of his very being.
These values can be materialised in absolute obedience to
parents,elder brothers and rulers. These moral values also include
sincerity to friends, refusal to cause any harm to others even in
words, identical harmony between words and deeds, rejection of
hypocrisy, care for common interests, encouraging beneficial arts,
sympathising withforeigners and working for the common welfare of the
princes and the common people of the empire.
There was, however, another sideto Confucianism. Confucius not only
stressed social rituals (Li), but also humaneness (Ren).
'Ren',sometimes translated as love or kindness, is believed to be the
source of all virtues. The Chinese character represents the potential
to live together humanely rather than scrapping like birds or beasts.
Areas Where Confucianism Spread
Confucianism started in China butin 1949 when China adopted a
Communist regime, Confucianismwas prohibited by the force of law like
all other religions. Therefore, it spread to other places like Korea
and Japan where it is studied in universities.Confucianism was
welcomed by western philosophers like Lipnze (1646-1716) and Peter
Noyel who later published a book about this system of Chinese
Philosophy.
