Many Ulema have objected to the practice of fasting on the 15th of Sha'baan and observing the Night as an auspicious occasion.

Answer

The scope of these columns precludes a detailed response. If you want a detailed explanation, provide your postal address. We shall forward our booklet explaining the Sunnah position of the 15th Day and Night of Sha'baan. Only moron molvis will venture the stupid idea that the Akaabireen's Hadith knowledge is limited to Mishkaat. They are either genuine morons who are shockingly ignorant of the curriculum of the kutub of our Madaaris or they are deliberately misleading people with blatant lies. The Akaabireen of Deoband in this era (i.e. the era of our immediate Akaabireen who have all departed from this dunya) were the greatest authorities of Hadith, Fiqh, Tafseer and every branch of Islamic Knowledge. Thus, those who have made the stupid claim are genuine morons. Alternatively they are deceits and intellectual thugs who feast on falsehood.

Whilst some Ulama proclaim the practice bid'ah, numerous of the Akaabireen aver that it is Sunnah. We are not the muqallideen of those Ulama who contend that the 15th Sha'baan is bid'ah. They too are muqallideen who have become mesmerized with the false illusion of them being 'mujtahids', hence they dabble in Hadith in a way to bring about abrogation of Sunnah practices which are authenticated by centuries of practice of the Akaabir Ulama who were all vehemently opposing bid'ah. These tin -topped or plastic 'mujtahids' of this age have neither the ability nor the licence to resort to Ahaadith for formulation of masaa-il of the Shariah. They are muqallids and are therefore obliged to remain Blind muqallideen. Don't be bamboozled by isolated views propounded by a couple of Ulama, even if they sport an alignment with the Ulama of Deoband.

Their contention regarding 'waajib attitude' is baseless. None of the Akaabireen had ever emphasized this practice. In fact when we were still studying at Madrasah under Hadhrat Masihullah (rahmatullah alayh), we did not even realize that it was the 15th Sha'baan. The realization would dawn when Hadhrat would proceed to the Qabrustaan during the night time.

The Ulama who are making a stupid issue of this Practice should rather divert their gaze and efforts towards the hardcore bid'ah, fisq and fujoor in which both the masses and molvis of this age are indulging. Their tongues are silent and they behave like dumb morons with regard to all the evil surrounding us. But they are stupidly vociferous against the People of Haqq and the Akaabireen in condemning the legitimate 15th Sha'baan practices. They don't speak against the halaalization of carrion and riba by haraam 'halaal' certificate manufacturing entities and mercenary 'shariah boards' whose function is to advertise the capitalist riba system. But they have long tongues which wag like the tails of dogs when critizing the Akaabireen.
