29th February 2008, 04:17 PM
On Jews “
They’re all the same. The Jews don’t have to be in Israel to be like this. It doesn’t matter whether they’re in New York, Houston, St Louis, London, Birmingham, Bradford, Manchester. They’re all the same. They’ve monopolised everything: the Holocaust, God, money, interest, usury, the world economy, the media, political institutions . . . they monopolised tyranny and oppression as well. And injustice”

On New York
“Jew York . . . sorry, New York . . . a slip of the tongue.”

On the Taleban

“The only group of people upon the earth who are establishing the Sharia and the law of Allah” [In 2000]

“What crime has the Government of Afghanistan committed? All they have done is they have refused to hand over a person (Osama bin Laden) whose guilt is yet to be proven. Because of that crime, the entire nation is being punished. And as a result, because they strive to represent Islam, the whole of Islam is being demonised. And as a result, Muslims all over the globe are being discriminated against” [In late 2001]

On Europe
“Europe has made it clear: they will not tolerate a Muslim force or power in Europe. And if it means massacring Muslims, if it means genocide, if it means a holocaust in Europe again, so be it. For this time, the target is Muslims”

On Muslims in Britain
“It’s become insane that as Muslims in this country we are more concerned about the frequency of our bins being emptied than we are about Muslim women being raped, children being massacred, old men being put to death and buried alive, and entire populations being subjugated and being made victims of genocide in other parts of the world”

On Britain’s antiterror laws
“Muslims are being maligned, our religious ideals and values . . . are under threat and it is naive to suggest otherwise. Read between the lines, peer beyond the spin. Laws are being introduced which . . . are targeted at Muslims. We are being discriminated against. Muslims in this country are being picked up one by one, control orders, imprisonment without trial, imprisonment on the flimsiest of excuses”

On integration
“Allah has warned us in the Koran, do not befriend the kuffar [unbelievers], do not align yourselves with the kuffar”

On the threat faced by British Muslims
“Winston Churchill made a very insightful comment. He said: ‘Appeasement is the policy of feeding the crocodile in the hope that it will eat you last’. As Muslims today, we think it’s OK, things can happen to Muslims elsewhere, but what will happen when there is no one else to devour? We will be the next meal”

On jihad
“The moment we say something, we are branded fanatics, terrorists, extremists. And no one dare utter the J-word. The J-word has become taboo. The J-word can never be mentioned and if someone mentions it even Muslims look at one another. So much is happening and yet we are expected to remain silent”

On Islam’s ultimate triumph
“Allah has promised. It is he who has sent his Messenger [Muhammad] with the religion of truth so that it may prevail over all other religions, even though the disbelievers may dislike it, even though the mushrikin [the idolaters] may dislike it. Allah has promised that victory will be for the believers. But we will be tested in the meantime”

On Israel
“Oh Allah, do not let us die until our eyes are cooled with the sight of banu Israel [the children of Israel] being punished for their crimes”

On sacrifice
“Trust in Allah, trust in the Prophet’s promises and his words. But not just rely on him and sit back, carrying on with our nine-to-five lives and our rat race. No, but be willing to sacrifice anything that may be required of us in the way of Allah”

On culture
“Today, the culture of Coke and the Big Mac, the culture of the Americans, the culture of the Europeans, these cultures are dominant and they are all pervasive. We stand in awe of their culture and we are imitating them in everything. This culture, this evil influence, this imitation of the kuffar . . .”

On opera
“In some Muslim countries . . . they have built opera houses at a cost of hundreds of millions of pounds. For what and for who? Muslims, Arabs, going to the opera to listen to a Frenchman singing in Italian? That’s the level to which we have stooped”

On Christmas
“Muslims celebrating Christmas! It’s amazing. We think that it's innocent. It’s not innocent. The Christmas Eve masses held in their churches. What do they do? They take bread and they take wine in a very formal, customary way . . . They believe they are eating the flesh of Issa [Jesus]. When they drink the wine, they believe they are consuming the blood of Issa, ie the flesh and the blood of his sacrifice. Of course, it’s all mumbo-jumbo.”

You know Ive heard that quite often that he is a chishti sufi etc etc and Ive listened to many of his lectures and sat in his talks and not once have I ever heard him mention anything that suggested he is a sufi

He does accept tasawuf,but thats just a name, in reality he does not promote anything dojy as far as I know Allah hu alim.


Anyhow the brother is very knowledgeable and has a good understanding of current affairs.

wasalam

ps, When it comes to the attributes of Allah his aqeeda is the same as the Hanbalis(salafis) ie he rejects taweel and tafweed of the ma'na.

What does it matter what the titles are as long as his aqeeda is sound and he doesnt promote any nonsense

We need to look beyond labels and start looking at substance,he has hundereds of lectures on tape/cd and I dont think anyone will find anything objectionable in any of them.

Allah knows best

i have to say that i agree with bro waziri, although i haven't heard a lot of sh riyadh's talks etc. but for example, i've been reading sh mufti taqi usmani's book and even though he speaks of tasawwuf, he hasn't propagated anything bid'ah thus far, in fact he even condems the modern day sufism that people like to promote in the west and from what i've seen so far, these people (ie. "deobandis") are close to the sunnah inshallah.

21st March 2008, 06:41 AM
The man has so many beneficial lectures, I have listened to many of them and greatly benefited, he is a scholar and man of true knowledge in our midst and I urge all brothers to seek beneficial knowledge from him.

I have to admit I am not clued up on his aqeedah but after listening to him many times there has been nothing that has caused any concern at all.

He reminds me of the imam at my local masjid, also a deobandi who said he loves and respects Muhammad ibn Abdal Wahhab, bin Baz and ibn Uthaymeen (but not al-Albani lol). You always find deobandi's to have excellent political awareness, high calibre of knowledge and generally fluency in a number of languages.

waziri
21st March 2008, 02:49 PM
Asalamualaykum,


I think with Deobandis you have to look at each one individualy as they dont all have the same understanding.

For example if you read some of the answers on askImam.com youll find that they promote taweel etc and they are deobandis and yet people like Shaykh Riyadh reject this and accept the sifat as they are in a manner that befits the majesty of Allah subhanu wa ta ala.

Yes i agree bro, Sh Riyad is also a really nice guy. I dnt know much about deobandi/sufi allegations but he has helped many youth start practicing which is great alhamdulillah.

They're not "allegations", they are facts.

This is his Chisti silsilah (http://muhabbat.wordpress.com/chishti-silsilah/), posted by one of his mureeds (disciples).

He's the khalifah (successor) of Skaykh Yusuf Motala, who was khalifah of Shaykh Muhammad Zakariyya Kandhlawi (author of Faza'il-e-A'maal). His mureeds say he has ijazah in the 3 other turuq (Qadiri, Naqshabandi, and Suhrawardi) as well.

I think it's strange that so many people don't want to accept that a Shaykh from India has Sufi affiliations. To be honest, it's just par for the course over there.

It doesn't really imply anything negative about him, it's just a part of the tradition he's from. Let's not forget that Shah Isma'il Shaheed (author of Taqwiyat al-Iman) had affiliations to the 4 turuq as well.

Well, he has to be the first hayati deobandi i heard of who gives public lectures in bukhari. I mean the hayaties are not particularly fond of the man or his book. [See ikhtilaaf e ummat of ludhianvi for example]. I gotta listen to those tapes. Anyway, does he reject the objectionables in aqeedah ulema deoband(almahnad ala almufannad)? That's the litmus test for hayaties. Alhamdolillah what we have heard from scholars, only mamaties have had the courage to do so....
Bro waziri, u r right about individual evaluations and looking beyond labels. But, in principle one should not let oneself be seen to be affiliated to groups which are not ahlus-sunnah, like hayati sufi deobandis [disregarding the 'wider' definition of the pact of idiots]. It not only misleads the average sunni, but also highers the status of bid'i groups; like hayati deobandis in the eyes of the common man. And that is precisely why we have been against the pact of idiots...

Well, he has to be the first hayati deobandi

How do you know what his aqeeda is with regards to the hayati mamati masala?




who gives public lectures in bukhari. I mean the hayaties are not particularly fond of the man or his book. [See ikhtilaaf e ummat of ludhianvi for example].


That seems like a strange thing to say, why do you make such a sweeping generalisation ?That would be like me saying that the "ahlu hadith" never talk about love for the prophet (saw) based on the fact that ive never heard them would it not? Not that I belive that they dont its just something Ive never heard them emphasise.

what does Yousef Ludhianvi (rh) say that leads you to believe that they dont like Bukhari, book or man?




I gotta listen to those tapes.

Yes I highly reccomend that you do,you will learn something.Check him out on youtube and many of his lectures are available on the net(not the sahi bukhari ones I dont think)



Anyway, does he reject the objectionables in aqeedah ulema deoband(almahnad ala almufannad)? That's the litmus test for hayaties. Alhamdolillah what we have heard from scholars, only mamaties have had the courage to do so....

I dont know, maybe if you could give me a little bit more info about "almahnad ala almufannad" and the "objectionable" beliefs in question I would be in a better position to answer.


Bro waziri, u r right about individual evaluations and looking beyond labels. But, in principle one should not let oneself be seen to be affiliated to groups which are not ahlus-sunnah, like hayati sufi deobandis [disregarding the 'wider' definition of the pact of idiots].

This is relative to what one would accept as being ahlu sunnah,I mean I wouldnt let myself be affiliated with madkhalis. Also there is nothing but benefit to be gained from someone like Riyadh ul haq




It not only misleads the average sunni,


Again this depends on how you would define sunni


but also highers the status of bid'i groups; like hayati deobandis in the eyes of the common man. And that is precisely why we have been against the pact of idiots...



I feel you are basing this statement on your experience ie the Pakistani way of seeing things,I think its different for muslims in the west where people look at different da'ees individualy regardless of what background(ie school of thought) they are from.


Shaykh Riyadh has done an imense amount of good work here in the uk and I can honestly say that whole comunitys of young men and women have learned their deen from him and have started practicing due to his dawa.

He has completed 715 ahadeeth from the abridged sahi Bukhari so far(thats taken at least 4 years) with an excellent commentary.His Arabic and his english are excellent and his knowledge is just amazing.I would say the "ahlu hadith uk" havent even come close to producing an english speaking Da'ee of his calibre.

what does Yousef Ludhianvi (rh) say that leads you to believe that they dont like Bukhari, book or man?
on page 319 of vol 2 of iktilaaf e ummat, he accused Imam Bukhari of exaggerating/ stretching the truth or in other words: LYING. [His exact words: 'funn e bubalgha arai ki bhi koi had hoti hai....Imam Bukhari bubalgha arai ki akhri hadd ko puhanch gai].
Besides throughout the second volume he has vilified Imams 1)Ibn Hajr 2)Baihaqi and 3)Al-Haakim.

And he is not the only hayati deobandi in that. Just read up the (muharif e Quraan o hadith) Amin Okarvi [la'natuallahi 'alaihi], Anwar Shah etc among others of the ilk.
