Nahiem
Ajmal (Mufti
Abu Layth)
Abu Lies 😈
In
the clip posted below, the speaker, N
Ajmal, makes his
most outrageous and insolent
statement to date, at least in public. I dwell on the motives
toward the end, but prior to that I want to analyse that which is
more pertinent—the speaker’s reasoning and evaluation of
religious texts.
outrageous
and insolent statement

The
physical condition of the Prophet’s body in the grave
This
individual and those who think
like him have the common trait of dismissing any
religious text of Quran and Hadith that
they find disagreeable.
This
is done by referring to a verse of
the Quran or a Hadith that is clear in
its import as being allegorical, symbolic or totally meaningless.
In
the case of Hadith, aside from reinterpreting
as symbolic or allegory, he may also dismiss the
entire authenticity and validity of transmission of that Hadith. That
is the main common theme in all his outrageous
statements, whether this statement relates to
legal rulings or belief.
The
problem with this is twofold.
The
first problem relates to a lack of being precise in what
methodology is being employed in interpreting any religious
text. Zero clarity on regulations, methodology,
legal theory, principles of jurisprudence, hermeneutics,
epistemology, logic and rational thought. This lack of being
principled leads to denying whatever one disagrees without any real
basis. Case in note: his
lack of distinction between a rational judgement and an empirical
judgement.
A
very basic point that any novice in Ashari theology
will be able to articulate, never mind a self proclaimed or a
“Pakistani Deobandi madrasah”
jurisconsult.
The
second problem is zero application
of Arabic grammar, rhetoric and any other linguist
Arabic devices that are absolutely essential to understanding Quran
and Hadith.
So,
in his denial of
life of the Prophet (peace
be upon him) in
the grave as being
literal, he
reinterprets the Hadith to mean that the
teachings of the Prophet (peace
be upon him)
will never rot and disintegrate, and
therefore he
concludes that the
body of the Prophet (peace
be upon him)
is not preserved and he has disintegrated with the soil, alongside
with other erroneous
statements in
that video!
Statements
that are reminiscent of Ismail
Dehlawi.
Yet,
this individual is unable to give any linguistic reasons. He
furnishes no knowledge of Arabic rhetoric or any methodology of
interpreting texts.
This
unprincipled methodology, or no
methodology at all, means anyone can reinterpret any
text of the Quran or Hadith without recourse to principles
that are rooted in the Arabic language and legal theory, as was set
out by the like of Imam Shafi in his Risala. Applying
the epithet ‘Maliki’ or ‘Shafi’ and
yet being a total dunce regarding the agreed upon principles of those
schools is very sad to say the least.
Because
this individual cannot delineate
his method of reasoning in either; legal theory, his
method of reading into a religious text or totally unable
to demarcate rules of rhetoric or Arabic grammar, I am
totally convinced he is a total ignoramus and vacuous in his
claim to any qualifications.
This
was clearly demonstrated in our discussion, that when being unable to
answer simple questions, he simply obfuscated the entire discussion.
Additionally, in
my counter to his claim regarding
the return of Isa (peace be upon him), I
mentioned one simple question which has been left unanswered to this
day.
That
question is: how does one simply dismiss a Hadith
narrated by 28 companions with nearly a hundred chains as a mere
forgery?
I
challenged him to demonstrate the claim that
the Hadith is a Christian
forgery, as he claims,
through an analysis of every chain. He has been unable and will
remain unable to prove this, as like many things he has claimed in
the past, are just that, claims, with no real substantiation.
Two
common themes you will notice in his
outrageous statements, which now many have become
desensitised to and thus lost interest, are:
1. Adenial
of the unseen, supernatural or miraculous and;
2. Outrageous
verdicts that are deemed anomalies by normative Islam.
With
regard to the first, which is a denial of the unseen or that
which is miraculous, this is based upon the inability (I say
inability because I genuinely believe he is unable) to make a
distinction between a rational judgement and an empirical judgement.
Hukm Aqli and Hukm Adi in Arabic, respectively. I will give a
simple example of this so people may understand better.
If
I said to an individual fourteen hundred years ago that metal can
fly, he would reject it as impossible.
Or if
I said I can travel from Makkah to Jerusalem in a short period of
time, they would have also dismissed
that as being impossible.
But
this type of impossibility is classified as being an
empirical impossibility and not a rational
impossibility.
The
very meaning of empirical impossibility is that we do not observe
such a phenomenon.
According
to the laws of physics or our simple observation of the norm we may
deem those things as an empirical impossibility.
Yet
if we have the means of breaking the norm, or the empirical, then a
breach of the norm is possible.
So
fourteen hundred years later we observe
metal flying in the form of an aeroplane and we see that a person can
travel from Makkah to Jerusalem in a short period of time.
These
impossibilities and possibilities are what miracles relate
to and not what is termed as a rational impossibility. A
rational impossibility, on the other hand, is that which the
mind deems as being impossible without any recourse to empirical
observation to external phenomena.
[*]
So when Abu Lahab denied
the miraculous night journey of
the Prophet (peace be upon him), or when Richard
Dawkins mocks the Buraq,
it is only because they do not know this distinction or fail to
accept this distinction.
So,
with our modern Abu, there
is a lack of comprehension of these simple distinctions and
subsequently a total denial of
the divine being able to suspend the laws of physics. As a corollary
to this, the modern Abu, denies
anything which he finds credulous, like miracles or the lives
of the prophets in their graves.
This
materialist and sensory approach of Abu
lies of course in his educational background and
association with Isha’at alUlum and
the nefarious Younas Numani,
a rabid ‘mamati’
Deobandi.
A
brand that denies lives of the prophets in their graves
vociferously and is condemned by other ‘hayati’
Deobandis. His educational background of nearly a decade
in Pakistani madrasahs has immensely affected his
psyche, and anyone who
has an inkling of understanding regarding this madrasahs will know
what I am alluding at.
However,
I believe, his current stand, as it is clear from his atrocious
‘verdicts’, is that of
an atheist, who
cannot profess his
atheism or agnosticism as
of yet. For whatever reason he pretends to be a Muslim is a secret
known to himself.
I
posted on his diatribe on a WhatsApp group:
This
man, in the video, claims
numerous Quranic and Hadith texts are symbolic or allegorical.
In
the video below, he
states that the Hadith on the isthmus life of the Prophet (peace
be upon him)
are symbolic, and
therefore believes foul things,
similar to his
ancestor Ismail
Dehlawi and worse
(listen
to clip). Here
This
individuals problem is that he cannot delineate an
epistemology or even suggest what rules of rhetoric (balagha) he
applies to religious texts. This is due to a few factors, including
compounded ignorance of any science and a desire to remove any
meaning to Islam as a whole.
This
individual, I believe, is an
atheist who doesn't have the courage to openly
denounce faith.
His
inability to demarcate a methodology, in language or
rationality, means speech has no real meaning. So if I say
'Someones mother ate haram when
she conceived him, or Satan sired
him', and then deny this has any literal meaning or import, and
it is allegorical in meaning, then words have no substance.
The
only cure to this miscreants
diabolical behaviour is to either ignore
him or insult his mother and
then utilise his own method (or
no method?) and say it isn't literal!
The
real Maliki, not the plastic “Maliki’
like Abu,
Sayyid
Muhammad Bin Alawi Maliki (ra)wrote:
It
is established that our Prophet ï·º possesses
an isthmus-life that is greater and more perfect than that of any
other, of which he himself told us. It is equally established that he
is intimately connected with the Community, fully cognizant of their
states, seeing their actions, hearing their speech, replying to their
greetings, and the hadiths to that effect are numerous. Read

Abu
Jahl passed by him and asked him mockingly: Was
there anything from heaven?
The
Messenger of Allah said: Yes.
Abu
Jahl asked: What is it?
The
Messenger of Allah said: I was given a miraculous night
journey.
Abu
Jahl asked: To where?
The
Messenger of Allah said: To Bayt al-Maqdis.
Abu
Jahl said: Then you came
back to be among us?
The
Messenger of Allah said: Yes.
Abu
Jahl deciding not to belie him in order to encourage
him to tell it to the people, he cunningly said: If
I invite people over here, will you tell them what you have told me
about?
The
Messenger of Allah said: Yes.
The
Messenger of Allah said: I was given a night journey.
They
said: To where?
The
Messenger of Allah said: To Baytul Maqdis.
Abu
Jahl said: then you
came back to be among us?
The
Messenger of Allah said: Yes.
Then
some of them clapped their hands while others put their hands on
their heads, as a gesture of disbelief.
They
asked: “Can you describe the Mosque of Bayt al-Maqdis in Jerusalem
as some of us have travelled to Jerusalem before and saw the Mosque?”
The
Messenger of Allah said:
“I
started describing it to them until I could no longer do that.
Then, Jibril brought
a view of the mosque close to the neighboring house of `Uqail, then I
resumed describing it while I was looking at it.”
The
Messenger of Allah added that the description included
details that I no longer remember.
The
people, then, commented saying: “Concerning the description of Bayt
al- Maqdis, by Allah, he told the truth.” (Musnad Ahmad)

[*] The
following morning, the Prophet صلى
الله عليه وسلم went
to the Quraysh’s Tribal meeting place, and when Abu
Jahl came
up to him, he informed him of his journey. Abu
Jahl then
called all the people to hear the Prophet’s story, and when he
related it to them, they stared at him in amazement and disbelief.
Some
of the people ran to Abu
Bakr and told
him and his companions that Muhammad صلى
الله عليه وسلم claimed
that he went to Jerusalem, made Salah there, and returned to Makkah
in one night. They told him that the Prophet صلى
الله عليه وسلم was
at the Ka’bah telling people. When they told him that they were
sure that he would also leave Islam, because it was obvious to them
that Muhammad صلى
الله عليه وسلم must
be lying. (MazAllah)
But Abu
bakr told
them, “By
Allah, if he actually said that, he has told the truth. There really
is nothing to be amazed about, for he has told me that information
comes to him from Allah, from the sky to the earth, in an instant
during the night or day and I believe him. And that is even more
strange.” Because
of that statement of Abu
Bakr, the Prophet صلى
الله عليه وسلم gave
him the title of “as-Siddiq (the truthful).”

Abu
Dhar said, “I was with the Prophet (Sallal lahu aliwasalam) one day
and I heard him saying: “There
is something I fear for
my Ummah more than the Dajjal.”
It was then that I became afraid, so I said: “Oh Rasool Allah!
Which thing is that?” He (S) said; “Misguided and astray
scholars.”
