On the issue of Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhaab, there are conflicting views given by Maulana Manzoor No'maani.

Answer

We are not in position to presently comment on M a u l a na

No'mani's views. We have never made an indepth study of Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhaab. We have criticized him on the basis of our understanding that he was the originator of Salafi'ism in Saudi Arabia.

We are not aware if Hadhrat Madani had retracted his earlier view. If he had indeed retracted, then obviously the retraction will be based on sound grounds.

If Hadhrat Maulana Rashid Ahmad Gangohi had not branded Mube consistent. If he manages to be consistent, he will not experience the pleasure of communing with Allah Ta'ala."

A man engrossed in the dunya will be spiritually as well as physically lethargic and indolent. He sleeps like a mayyit (corpse). Waking up for even Fajr Salaat poses an almost insurmountable problem for him. The consequences of reckless indulgence in the world are spiritually debilitating. Sin, transgression, abandonment of the Sunnah, gross misuse of the eyes and tongue and

M a n zo o r conflicting hammad Ibn

Wahhaab as a deviate, it was either due to lack of information or he genuinely believed in the veracity of his view despite having information about the person. The same applies to the other Akaabireen.

It is essential to understand that Hadhrat Gangohi (Rahmatullah alayh) was not your little brother. He was not a type of molvi such as those roaming the globe today. He was in fact, a Mujtahid and a Wali of outstanding calibre. He was a great Aalim of the Haqq whom the Barelwi Qabar Pujaaris brand a 'kaafir'.

Hadhrat Gangohi and the other Akaabireen are entitled to their views. Hadhrat Gangohi was not involvement in futility and haraam amusement, etc. utterly ruin Islamic morality. The Baatin (spiritual heart) is killed and the noor (spiritual glitter) of Aql vanishes.

The standard for experiencing the Pleasure of communion with Allah Ta'ala, mentioned by Allaamah Sha'raani is exceptionally high. The degree of zuhd to be cultivated, according to him eliminates every iota of worldly love from the heart to such an extent that even dung has more value than gold. As far as the masses are concerned, this is an unattainable goal.

However, the very minimum requirement for the rank and file of the Ummah is that preference should never be given to the world over and above the Shariat. In any conflict between worldly pursuits and the Shariat, Allah's Law must incumbently be accorded priority and preference. Nothing below this standard is acceptable nor tolerable in Islam.

Abdul a muqallid of Ibn Aabideen. There was no incumbency for him to adopt the view of Ibn Aabideen.

If our contemplated research - if Allah Ta'ala grants us the opportunity to make the necessary research - establishes that we have erred in branding Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhaab as a deviate, then we shall, Insha- Allah, unhesitatingly retract our view.

Right now we have no time to engage in a thorough research of the issue. In fact, this writer is hovering on the brink of Barzakh. If Allah Ta'ala grants us the taufeeq and the time to make a research, we shall do so. If our research establishes the correctness of Hadhrat Madani's retraction, if indeed he had retracted, and if our research compels us to understand that Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhaab was indeed not a deviate, then we shall retract our current view and proclaim the Haqq. May Allah Ta'ala guide and protect us from the ploys of the nafs and the snares of shaitaan. May Allah Ta'ala keep us steadfast on the Haqq.

OLIVES

Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Eat olive oil and massage yourselves with it, for it comes from a blessed tree." (Ahmad and Tirmidhi)

A SIGN OF

QIYAAMAH

R a s u l u l l a h (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) narrating t h e s i g n s o f Qiyaamah, said:

"Voices will be raised in the Musaajid."

Even the Ulama and the Muballigheen are displaying this Sign of Qiyaamah conspicuously. They are oblivious of the sanctity of the Musjid.

Once when some people were speaking loudly in the Musjid, Hadhrat Nabi Isaa (Alayhis salaam), struck them with his shawl and expelled them from the Musjid.

PURE KUFR

haraam for Muslims to enrol their children in such institutions of kufr. They will compulsorily emerge as murtaddeen from these institutions. All the acts mentioned in the question are kufr.
