Criticism on Islam by Moadoodi

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.
