Quote Statement: “All who go to the land of Ajmer or to the grave of Salar Mas’ud or those that resemble them in order to request [to fulfil] a need, it is indeed a sin more grievous than murder and adultery. Its likeness is not but the likeness of those who worship the creation or like those who call on Al-Lat and Al-’Uzza. However, we do not [unequivocally] declare disbelief [upon them] due to the absence of a text from the Lawgiver in this specific matter.”

Shah Waliullah Muhaddith Naqshbandi (Rh)
View of Experts
Syed
Shaykh Zaheeruddin Ahmed (rh)
Shaykh Zayd Faruqi Naqshbandi(rh)
Mawlana Hakeem Sayed Barkati (rh) and Ayyub Qadri
which were all experts on the life and work of Shah Waliullah Muhaddith al Dehlawi (rh)
They
have all agreed that the above
quote is NOT from Shah
Waliullah (rh) but was later
added in his book as a part of mass
fabrication which was done in the books of Shah
Sahib.
The Practices of Shah
Waliullah Muhaddith Naqshbandi (Rh)
Shah
Waliullah often used to visit the graves of
awliya for maraqaba and Baraka.
He used to visit grave of Shaykh Qutubuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki (Rd) regularly.
Shah Sahib also visited the grave of Shaykh Ghaus Gwaliari (rh),
Shah
Sahib performed maraqaba at the grave of Sayyedina
Abu Dhar Ghaffari ( Radiallahu anhu) and the Martyrs
of Badr.
At one instance Shah Sahab was not able to
take a decision. While doing maraqaba at the grave of
a pious wali of Allah in the town of Phulat, Shah Sahib got the
answer for his question.
(Al qawl al jali, p, 232)
From
these ( and many more like this) it is seen that Shah Sahab often
used to visit the graves of
awliya Allah to do maraqaba and get spiritual benefit. To say that
Shah Waliullah himself visited the graves of
awliya but criticized others will be attributing a policy of dual
nature towards the great scholar Shah
Waliullah Muhaddith (Rh).
From Fiqh
Murder
and adultery is a sin which is established from nass. Anyone
who does not consider murder and adultery to be a sin will become a
Kafir. But if someone says that travelling to Ajmer to
get his needs fulfilled is not a sin, then he will not become a
kafir.
Also the fabricated quote
reads:
“then he has committed
a greater sin than murder and adultery.”
Again,
murder and adultery is a sin which is established from nass.
How come something which is not established from nass be
worse/grave from those things which are proved from nass?
From
all these reason it can be seen that fabricator was
some Wahabi who didn’t have
any understanding of fiqh and knowledge about belief and practices
of Shah Waliullah dehlawi
(rh).

About
the mass fabrication which
was done in the books of Shah Sahib:
Who were behind
these?
Shah Abul Hasan Zayd Faruqi (rh) wrote, in his preface to the translation of ‘Al Qawlul Jaliyy’ of Shah Sahib :
“It is a pity that the Followers of Shah Ismail Dehlawi were in the forefront of these changes made into the books and Malfuzat of Shah Waliyullah, Shah Abdul Aziz and also in the Qur’an translation of Shah Abdul Qadir (rh) and also in the topics of Mujaddid e Alf Sani, Shah Ghulam Ali and Hazrat Shah Alamullah Rae Bareli(rh) so as to make the thoughts of these men to look similar to Shah Isma’il and Ibn Adul Wahab Najdi. Allah saved from tem this book, namely ‘al qawlul jaliyy.”
Mawlana Ansar shah Kashmiri, son of Anwar Shah Kashmiri of Deoband wrote:
“...I feel real and clear differences between Shah Sahib’s thoughts and those of Deobandis. So I doubt viewing deobandi ideology as a part of Waliyullahi’s thoughts.

Imam
Ahmed Raza Khan (rh) did not disagree with Shah
Waliullah Muhaddith Dehlawi (rh) , neither he called him
a wahabi.
All
the later scholars also accepted most of the teachings of Shah
Waliullah Muhaddith (rh)
.
In view of this, what others wrote does
not hold any weight.
On the other hand, there are certain
contents in the books of Shah Waliullah (rh) which is not accepted by
most of the Sunni scholars.
For
example, in one book of Shah Sahib he has allowed
doing tawaf of graves of awliya , in some other book
he has accepted effect of 'stars' on human life!
[
I do not give the names of these book due to some reason. Those who
know these books can check and those who don't need not
bother]
These teachings of Shah Sahab were rejected by the
sufi minded scholars as well.
But all the major scholars
of Ahlus Sunnah from the subcontinent accept Shah Sahab to be a
scholar from Ahlus Sunnah.
His books are not suggested
for general public because of three reasons:
1. His
books were tampered to a very
large extant. Only those who have done research on this subject can
differentiate the original quotes from
the fabricated one.
2. Some
of the books of Shah Sahab ( and his father’s view also) has quotes
in which he does not stick to Hanafi fiqh. For example, his
father Shah Abdur Raheem (rh) did not stick to
Hanafi fiqh in some matters ( like recitation in salat al janaza).
Similary Shah Sahab's book has some quotes in which he shows
disagreement in some matters from Hanafi fiqh. Some scholars say
these are fabricated quotes ,
others say, he died as a hanafi ( his last ijaza which he gave is
signed as " Shah waliullah hanafi) but in some matters he had
different opinion.
3. Some of his sufi
teachings are not accepted by most of the scholars and is very
difficult to understand. ( see his discussion
of wujud and shahud)
So if
any one says Shah Sahab was a
'wahabi' it
might be because in some of his books Shah Sahab has shown preference
of hadith over fiqh. At other place
it is written that he tilted towards Shafi'i fiqh because of his
close relationship with shafi'i scholars during his stay at
Haramain.
These are all fabricated quotes.
In
India, all the leading Sunni institutes like Mubarakpur, Barelly,
Kachucha, pilibhit etc accept Shah Sahab as a great Sunni
scholar.
In view of all this, any single view which is not
accepted by Sunnis themselves does not hold any weight.
1. Shah Waliullah Muhaddith (rh) used to recite " Ya Shaykh Abdal Qadir Shaian Lilllah".
Since
this proves istighatha, it would be a solid blow to those
who are bent on spoiling the name of Shah Sahab . (We have dealt this
issue of Istighatha with scans and is avaibale on
internet).
2. The deobandi
poster has also shyed away from mentioning a couplet in
which Shah Sahab seeks imdad (help/ support)
from Prophet ( sal
allahu alayhi wa sallam).
Both these quotes are
available on p 575 on the scan link posted
by brother faqir:
What
do you make of these scans from Miqyas
Hanafiyyat (p.575-578)
by Molwi Muhammad ‘Umar Icharwi (d: 1971H) which were posted
elsewhere?
http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i7...575-Miqyas.jpg
http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i7...576-Miqyas.jpg
http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i7...577-Miqyas.jpg
Also,
with shallow research on the books of Shah Waliullah , the deobandi
has failed to notice one very important thing, which is mentioned
on page
576.
The
author, Mawlana
Icharwi (
d.1971 CE) writes : "
Shah Waliullah wrote books like al-
balagh ul- mubeen in
which he showed disrespect to prophets ( alayhimus salam ) and
awliaya"
Any
one can pick up al-balagh
ul -mubeen and
see that it has words against prophets ( alayhimus salam) and awliya.
It also has quotes which prophibit tawassul. We know these
are typical
wahabi trait, because
a Muslim can die but can never show disrespect to prophets (
alayhimus salam).
Mawlana
Icharwi (rh)
died in 1971 and
till that time there was no research which listed the names of
books falsely
attributed to Shah
waliullah (rh).
The
first book dealing with this issue was published in 1976 by Mawlana
Hakeem Barkati (rh)
in which he listed all the books which were falsely attributed to
Shah Waliullah (rh) and also the those books which
were fabricated by adding
/ deleting quotes
in the books of Shah
Waliullah (rh).
Al-balag
al -mubeen stands on the top of the list among books
which are falsely attributed
to Shah Sahab.
This was confirmed when Shaykh Zayd
Faruqi al Azhari (rh) published the first ever Urdu
translation of Al qawl al Jamil in 1988.
In
short , when Mawlana Icharwi wrote Miqyase
Hanafiyat he didn't know that al
balagh ul mubeen is not the work of Shah
Sahab.
What is more important is the stand taken by the
scholars of Ahlus sunnah wal jamah. They always reject any thing
which is not accepted by the jamhoor. In this case , it was totally
because of lack of research which was available in 1971.
At
present every year sunni scholars organize Shah Waliullah Conference
in which it is told that Shah Sahab was a PURE SUNNI scholar,
this is proved by showing how Shah
Waliullah practiced istightha
, celeberated Mawlid, did
fatiha on food , visited graves of awliya for maraqaba etc.
I
would like to add that all these scholars are respected by
everyone.
Prof Ayyub Qadri was not a
"Barelwi".
Mawlana Syed Hakeem Ahmed
Barkati (rh) had no relation with barelly. He is respected
by wahabis also because of his
deep research.
Shaykh Zayd Farooqi al Azhari (rh)
is also respected by wahabis .
Those
interested can read books by Suleiman
Nadavi ( a staunch wahabi) where he has also accepted
about these fabrications in
the books of Shah waliullah Muhaddith al
Dehlawi (rh).
If someone wants to call Shaykh
Zayd Farooqi (rh) as barelwi because he
celeberated Mawlid then, we
have to call Imam Ibn Hajar, Imam Suyuti and others
also as ' barelwi".!
For
those who don't know , please note:
1.
Shah Abdur Raheem Naqshbandi (Rh)
( Father of Shah Waliullah) :
Used to celeberate Mawlid every
year, celeberated 'urs , Visited graves of awliya for maraqaba, used
to do Fatiha on food , had no problem in using words of Istighatha,
did fatiha for the deceased on 40th , held special meetings in the
month of muharram .
2
Shah Waliullah Muhaddith al Dehlawi al Naqshbandi (Rh) :

mawlid, visited graves of awliya often for maraqaba, used to recite
dua ( supplication) having words of Istighatha, did fatiha on food ,
used to give amulets containing verses from Qu'ran and Hadith.
3.
Shah Abdul Aziz Muhaddith al Dehlawi (Rh) :
He
was the son of Shah Waliullah muhaddith al dehlawi (rh). He gained
more fame than his father with in his life time. He was well versed
in zahiri and batini sciences. He used to celeberate mawlid, did
fatiha on food ,used to recite dua containing words of Istighatha,
had no problem with Quran khwani, used to hold special speeches in
the month of muharram.
4.
Shah Ishaq Muhaddith al Dehlawi (rh) :
His
books were fabricated by wahabis. A
detail analysis can be read here. And Here
5. Ismail
Dehlawi la
madhabi:
Notorious
for starting the wahabi
fitna in
subcontinent. Not even one student took any Islamic teachings from
him. (
Hayate Shah Ishaq )
He^ (Ismail
Dehlawi) was
once making fun of Shah
Abdul Aziz Muhaddith al Dehlawi (rh),
without knowing that the latter was in room. Shah Abdul Aziz (rh)
felt very bad realizing that Ismail
Dehlawi makes
fun of teachers and mashaykh. So Shah Abdul Aziz (rh) told Ismail
Dehlawi not
to attend his classes from that day onwards (Arwahe
Salasa).

Mawlvi Ashraf ali Thanvi makes fun of 'naqshabndis" saying: " I have seen people doing porostations to the grave of Imam Rabbani Sirhindi ( Rd) and some people object at Chishti's only". ( al ifadat al Yawmiya)
Ismaeel Dehlawi wrote:" All this Sufi tariqah like Chishti, Qadri, Naqshbandi and Suharwardi is bid'ah.” [Taqwiyatul Iman]
Maulvi Rashid Gangohi said : " This book ( Taqwiyatul Iman) is the Ayn Islam ( core of islam).” It means as per deobandi sect, the ruling in this book supercedes all other ruling given in any of their other books.

Belief of Ismail
Dehlawi :
1. Mawlid,
Urs, Quran Khwani , all this is Biddah.
2. Istighatha
is Shirk.
3. Prophet
( sal allahu alayhi wa sallam) should not be respected more than a
land lord .
4. Allahu
ta'la is in a direction...etc
