Refutation of Maudoodee by Shaykh Sanaa’Allah Amritsaree al-Hindee Thumma Bakistaanee rahimahullah

Has Maudoodee strayed only in the affairs of Dawah? Does he have sound Aqeedah? Refer to the following exposition of Maudoodee’s deep starying in the matters of Aqeedah. His misguidance in the other matters will be posted insha Allah in this section!


Question: Assalaamuaalaikum O Shaikh, we are are muslims and specifically, the Ahlul Hadeeth, but now a days there is a new jamaah that has named itself Jamaath Islamee and just like the grave worshippers conquering upon islam ( claiming to be sole inheritors of Prophets ) and has began calling us towards its maslak and says 'those works that our Ameer (head) Maulaana Maodoodee has done, the ulamaa of islam ( from the Salaf and those after them ) have failed to do till this day. And they proclaim “look at our literature which our Ameer has written! “.

So you tell us what their literature is all about and what are we supposed to do?

Answer: Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmathullah wa barakathuh - Ammaa Ba'ad! The legacy/fable/myth(ÏÇÓÊÇä) of maudoodee is quite long and lengthy. In summary, I have seen his literature; his first era(ÏæÑ) was something else. Now it is the second era(ÏæÑ).

The first period of Maudoodee and his second period, in between them there is manifest contradiction.The summary of this I had published as a series of 9 parts in the Ahle Hadees newspaper during 1951. Please refer to that.

[ Note:- If anyone from Pakistan have these newspapers or can gather this from any libraries please send us a copy or scanned copy – Please send it to [email protected]. Barak Allah feek.]

Even now let me explain and cite few examples from it. And then its tanqeed(criticism) and tardeed(refutation).

In the first era he(Maudoodee) writes...'Islam is a complete way of life. But however, the achievement of these (islamic goals for complete way of life) is neither the Qur'aan nor tawaatur(Ahaadees al-Mutawatir) but they are only khabarul ahhaad'
[Source – Maudoodee in his book Tafheemaat Page 317]

Further Maudoodee writes:

In the books of ahadeeth, sihah sitta ( Saheeh al-Bukharee, Saheeh Muslim, Sunan Abee Dawood, Sunan at-Tirmidhi, Sunan Ibn Maajah, Sunan An-Nisaa'i ) , in this affair (of these books of hadeeth) there is no scope of any doubt in them whether these books have actually been written by those noble ones (referring to the Muhadditheen, Imam al-Bukharee, Imam Muslim, Imam at-Tirmidhee, Imam Aboo Dawood, Imam Ibn Maajah and Imam Nisaaee). And also there is no scope of doubt if the isnaad of each hadeeth reaches the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa sallam).


Therefore through these books (of hadeeth) that knowledge of hadeeth becomes nearly certain(yakeeni - In which there is no doubt)...

Maudoodee Doubts Muhadditheen And Their Collection & Compilation of the Sunnah!

(Now) In his second period Maudoodee writes:

quote:

" What is the guarantee that to whom Muhadditheen have declared to be
Thiqah(Trustworthy) is infact Thiqah and to whom the Muhadditheen have declared to be ghayr-thiqah(non-trustworthy) is indeed ghayr-thiqah(non-trustworthy)?.
[Source – Maudoodee in his book Tafheemaath, Page 322].


quote:
The compiled works of the Muhadditheen is not trustworthy
[Source – Maudoodee in his book Tafheemaath, Page 295]


and Maudoodee writes on page 300
quote:
'Those whom the Muhadditheen have declared to be Mu'tasil Saheeh then it is possible he is not so and to whom they declared Munqati Mu'addhal then he could be extremely (bilkul) truthful.
[Source – Maudoodee in his book Tafheemaath , Page 323]


Maudoodee also writes,
quote:

(the Hadeeth of the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) )
is sarasar(without a doubt) dhaoukhee and is not based on any rules (dhabthaa)...[ Source – Maudoodee in his book Tafheemaath page 297] . Dhaoukhee meaning wajdaanee and just words based on thoughts ....(khayaalee bathein) and they were not based on revelation from Allah"


This is the reason why Maudoodee says:

quote:
The hadeeth of coming of dajjal is fairy tale (fasaney)....
[ Source – Maudoodee in his book Tarjumanul Qur'aan Septeber - October 1945]


He also writes....

Response to Maudoodee by Shaykh Thanaaullah Amritsaree (rahimahullah)-

The first reply to this is; his former views are contradictory to the latter views. Hence the contradictory(Mutanaaqisa) opinions are baatil.

The second reply is that inspite of the contradiction in his views, they are in opposition to the Qur'aan and they deny(takdheeb) and belie the Qur'aan. Hence they are baathil and the opposition and belying of the Qur'aan is also Kufr.

The opposed view is that Allah Ta'aala in the Qur'aan has set the basis or standard(ãíÇÑ) for truth for the people of islam then the Muhadditheen following and implementing those standards (ãíÇÑ) in the preservation of islam (Both Qur’aan & the Ahadeeth of the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam ) and in their dawah have collected & compiled the tafseer of the Qur'aan from the Sahabah which they heard from the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam), gathering it from him (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) whether it be from

a) His Sayings
b) His Actions
c) His Silent Approvals

and passed it onto their students (The Taabi'een).Then in the same way generation by generation it has reached us.

And the Sahabah (radhiAllahu anhum) took this tafseer from the Rasoolullah's (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) Seerah and decisive shar'eeah orders he gave and explained the Qur'aan.

The Muhadditheen (rahimahumullah) after knowing the truthfulness by way of making detailed analysis and deep investigation of the narrators of these ahadeeth of Rasoolullah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) penned down these ahadeeth of Rasoolullah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) into books of tafseer and books of hadeeth based on the ayah mentioned below.

And these statements of Maudoodee deny that( ayah from the Qur'aan).

The ayah is.....


It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, and each and every act of obedience to Allâh, etc.) that you turn your faces towards east and (or) west (in prayers); but Al-Birr is (the quality of) the one who believes in Allâh, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the Prophets and gives his wealth, in spite of love for it, to the kinsfolk, to the orphans, and to Al-Masâkin (the poor), and to the wayfarer, and to those who ask, and to set slaves free, performs As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and gives the Zakât, and who fulfill their covenant when they make it, and who are As-Sâbirin (the patient ones, etc.) in extreme poverty and ailment (disease) and at the time of fighting (during the battles). Such are the people of the truth and they are Al*!Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2). (Al-Baqarah 2:177)


And some of their charecterestics are also mentioned by Allah in Surah Hadid where Allah says:


And those who believe in (the Oneness of) Allâh and His Messengers, they are the Siddiqûn (i.e. those followers of the Prophets who were first and foremost to believe in them), and the martyrs with their Lord, they shall have their reward and their light. But those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) and deny Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), they shall be the dwellers of the blazing Fire. (Al-Hadid 57:19)

quote:
It is evident from these ayaath that those people who possess these charecterestics narrate the (aayaath of) Qur'aan or ahadeeth of the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) or the seerah of the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) rulings of the shar'eeah and aqeedah then accepting their narrations and what they have conveyed is waajib and fard.


quote:
Otherwise even after establishment of truthfulness based on proofs from standards set by Shar'eeah then the report and narration about the shar'eeah (like hadeeth, seerah, tafseer etc.) for a person
who fears Allaah(Muttaqee), who is truthful then making excuses, disputing and altercation, creating doubts and belittling them and what has come through them with derogatory words(choon wa chara karna) is an open attempt to distort (ÇäåÑÇÝ) the standard set by the Qur'aan which is clear belying of the Qur'aan.


Also the charecterestic that Allah Ta'aala has mentioned in the Qur'aan of ahl-ul-eeman is that when they are called towards Command of Allah and His Messenger then they respond saying we have heard and we will obey. Such are the ones that will be successful.

The only saying of the faithful believers, when they are called to Allâh (His Words, the Qur'ân) and His Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) , to judge between them, is that they say: "We hear and we obey." And such are the prosperous ones (who will live forever in Paradise). (An-Nur 24:51)


Then creating doubts, and attempting to show that this is defective by uttering words and phrases that lead to belittling of Qur'aan in this matter then it is opposition to eeman.

And the authoritative Ayah:


Verily We: It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur'ân) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption). (Al-Hijr 15:9)

When Allah Ta'aala has taken responsibility of preserving and safeguarding the Qur'aan then this preservation is two types:

1)Preservation of the Words (Of Allaah) - UNCREATED!
2)Preservation of their meanings.

which the following authoritative and decisive ayah:


With clear signs and Books (We sent the Messengers). And We have also sent down unto you (O Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam)) the reminder and the advice (the Qur'ân), that you may explain clearly to men what is sent down to them, and that they may give thought. (An-Nahl 16:44)


And We have not sent down the Book (the Qur'an) to you (O Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam)), except that you may explain clearly unto them those things in which they differ, and (as) a guidance and a mercy for a folk who believe. (An-Nahl 16:64)


Similarly (to complete My Blessings on you) We have sent among you a Messenger (Muhammad ) of your own, reciting to you Our Verses (the Qur'ân) and sanctifying you, and teaching you the Book (the Qur'ân) and the Hikmah (i.e. Sunnah, Islâmic laws and Fiqh - jurisprudence), and teaching you that which you used not to know. (Al-Baqarah 2:151)



So from these aayaath it is clearly evident that preserving the Qur'aan necessitates preserving the Sunnah just like how Allah Ta'aala preserved the Words of the Qur'aan through huffaadh of the Qur'aan ; similarly Allaah has preserved the shar'ee meanings of the Qur'aan as explained by the Prophet (Sallallau alaihi wa sallam) by way of Muhadditheen safeguarding and preserving (the explanations of the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) in the form of narrated Ahaadeeth Otherwise like the previously revealed Books(The Zuboor, the Injeel and the Tauraath) the Qur'aan too could have been distorted.

And these disputants only wish to distort the Qur'aan through their aql in order to justify their claims( that are in opposition to the Qur'aan, the Sunnah and the understanding of Salaf us Saalih radhiAllaahu anhum )

But beware of the Statement of Allah:


They (the disbelievers, the Jews and the Christians) want to extinguish Allâh's Light (with which Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) has been sent - Islâmic Monotheism) with their mouths, but Allâh will not allow except that His Light should be perfected even though the Kâfirûn (disbelievers) hate (it). (At-Tawbah 9:32)



Say (O Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) to mankind): "If you (really) love Allâh then follow me (i.e. accept Islâmic Monotheism, follow the Qur'ân and the Sunnah), Allâh will love you and forgive you of your sins. And Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Aali Imran 3:31)


And obey Allâh and the Messenger (Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam)) that you may obtain mercy. (Aali Imran 3:132)


and...


But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam)) judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission. (An-Nisa 4:65)


(Hence) the Commands of Rasoolullaah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam, his verdicts, his statements pertaining to the Tafseer of the Qur'aan, obeying him and following him is obligation(waajib) upon each and every muslim without any slightest of hesitation.

Doubting this, rejecting them and denial is Kufr.

And these decisive Aayaath:

"And We have not sent you (O Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam)) except as a giver of glad tidings and a warner to all mankind, but most of men know not. (Saba' 34:28)"


"And We have sent you (O Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam)) as a Messenger to mankind, and Allâh is Sufficient as a Witness."[An-Nisa 4:79]


He who obeys the Messenger (Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam)), has indeed obeyed Allâh, but he who turns away, then we have not sent you (O Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam)) as a watcher over them. (An-Nisa 4:80)

Did Mawdoodee Retract From His View About Dajjaal After 30 Mutawaatir Ahadeeth Were Presented To Him?




Translation of Maudoodee’s Words Into English

Question:

In Tarjumaan-ul-Quraan (Another book of Maudoodee) some individual has questioned that " It is well known regarding Dajjaal that he is imprisoned somewhere " then what kind of place is it (where he is hidden)? Today every nook and corner of the world has been captured by the humankind. Then why is not been possible to locate Dajjal? In reply to this question you answered (In the book Tarjuman-ul-Quraan) that Dajjaal, etc. are myths and fairy tales for which there is no status in the Shar'eeah. But as far as I know there are atleast 30 narrations (of hadeeth) that address the issue of Dajjaal. These (Ahaadeeth) can be testified (to be Saheeh) through Bukaaree, Muslim, Aboo Daawood, Thirmidhee, Sharh Sunnah, Baihaqee. Then what is the ISNAAD upon which you have based your response?

Maudoodee's Answer:

That which I declared to be myth and fairy tale is the belief that Dajjaal is imprisoned somewhere; however the issue of a great fithnah (ad-Dajjaal) is going to be apparent then regarding this what has been informed in the ahadeeth then I accept this view and all the time during my Salaah I make that dua in which refuge is sought from other things which include

A'oodhubika min Fithnathil Maseehid Dajjaal

Regarding Dajjaal whatever ahaadeeth are narrated from the Messenger of Allaah Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, on this subject after making an overall investigation & analysis it will be clearly apparent that the knowledge that the Messenger of Allaah Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam had obtained from Allaah was just limited to the fact that one Dajjaal is going to be apparent and it will have such and such attributes and it will possess such and such specific charecterestics. But the Messenger of Allaah Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam was not informed when it will be apparent, where will it be apparent and also if it has been created in his Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's period or if he will be created after him in another period.

Regarding these matters the different statements are narrated from the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam through Ahadeeth the CONTRADICTION WITHIN ITS SUBJECT itself clarifies and makes apparent that the statements of the Messenger of Allaah also signify that THESE WERE NOT BASED ON WAHEE (REVELATION FROM ALLAAH) but rather they were based on DHANN (GUESS WORK) AND QIYAAS (ANALOGICAL REASONING).


Sometimes he Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam expressed his thoughts that Dajjaal will emerge from Khuraasaan and at times from Isfahaan and sometimes he said that the area between Shaam (jordan, syria) and Iraaq.



Then sometimes he doubted on a jewish boy named ibn Sayyaad who was born in Madeenah that he might be Dajjaal and in the last narration from him in the 9 Hijri when a Christian Raahib (Tameem ad-Daaree radhiAllaahu anhu) came and accepted Islam then he narrated the following story. Once while he was traveling in the sea (may be in the Roman Sea or the Arabian Sea) he reached an uninhabited island and there he met with a strange person and he informed him that he himself was Dajjaal.


Then he Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam did not think of any reason to reject his bayaan but rather he expressed his doubt that from the root of this narration (he Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said that ) it seems to me that Dajjaal will emerge from Roman Sea or Arabian Sea but I think that he might emerge from East.


From these different narrations if any person views conclusively and if he has any acquaintance with Ilm-ul-Hadeeth or Usool of the deen then he will not face any difficulty in understanding the fact that in this matter the statements of the Messenger of Allaah Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam can be categorized into TWO PARTS.

PART - I :- That Dajjaal will emerge, he will be a possessor of those attributes and will inflict trials and tribulations. These are the news that have no doubt whatsoever which have been given from Allaah. In this there is no narration which contradicts another.

PART - II:- That where will Dajjaal emerge, who is that person! In this matter not only that the narrations are contradicotry but in majority of these narrations there is shakk (doubt) and shubah(skepticism) and wording in the narrations are based on approximation from what has been narrated from the Messenger of Allaah Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

For instance regarding Ibn Sayyad the saying of the Messenger of Allaah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam to Umar Ibn al-Khattab radhiAllaahu anhu that:

" If he is Dajjaal then you are not the one who will kill him and if he is not Dajjaal then you have no right to kill a Mulhid(One who commits Ilhaad) "


Or for example in one hadeeth his (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's) narration is
" If he appears during my lifetime, I will confront him with hujjah and if he appears after me then Allaah is the Helper and (Haamee) of each and every Mu'min".

The status of the second part in terms of deen and usool is clearly apparent that it is not based (on religion and usool) and can never be based (on religion and usool) in contrast to what is the status of the first part.

Whoever makes this (second part) and includes its details a part of Islamic aqeedah then he does it wrongly. And it is incorrect to (go further and) claim the authenticity of each and every portion.

Allaah's Messenger Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam had a doubt on Ibn Sayyaad that perhaps he could be the dajjaal and Umar ibn al-Khattaab had even swore that he(ibn Sayyaad) is dajjaal. But later he became a Muslim, lived in Haramain(Macca and Madeenah), died in a state of Islam and his janaazah was prayed over by Muslims and now what is the scope(in the religion of Islam) to keep doubting ibn Sayyaad to be a dajjaal until today?

The Messenger of Allaah Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam deemed Tameem ad-Daaree's narration to be approximately true. Then the non-appearance of that person for 1350 years whom Tameem radhiAllaahu anhu saw upon the island is it not sufficient to prove that the information he gave to Tameem radhiAllaahu anhu about him being Dajjaal was not true?

The Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam suspected that Dajjaal would appear in his time or in a near period after him but is it not a reality that 1350 years have already passed and up until now Dajjaal has not appeared?

So then these things (these ahadeeth and story of appearance of Dajjaal etc.) are narrated and compiled (and passed on from generation by generation) as if these are also part of Islamic Aqeedah. This is neither correct representation of Islam nor is can be regarded as the correct understanding of ahadeeth. Just like I have already discussed (before). In such type of matters if any statement of the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is based on his Qiyaas, his suspicion based on approximation does not happen in conformity then this does not stain the Prophethood.

And this does not damage the honour of ambiyaa's aqeedah and neither does the Shar'eeah make incumbent upon us to have eemaan in such issues and this fundamental reality has been made clear by the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam in the interpretation of narrated hadeeth.......


------End Of Maudoodee’s Words------


From the above answer one can see how Mawdoodee went on to make Ta'weel and regarded Dajjaal to be just a fithnah. Secondly, he shamelessly went on to make baseless allegations upon the Messenger of Allaah Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

Imam Muqbil bin Haadee Al-Waadi'ee rahimahullah


Question:

Is Abul-A'la al-Maududi considered to be from the Imaams of the Muslims?

Answer:

What is clear is that he has some tashayyu' (Shiaism) in him and that he is to be considered as being from the Imaams of Innovation. May Allaah reward one of our brothers with good for he has authored a book called:
"Hurricanes in the Face of the Sunnah" (Zawaabi' fee Wajhis-Sunnah).

In this book, he clarifies and exposes the true condition of Abul-A'la Al-Maududi and those like him who wage war against the Sunnah of Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and who weaken authentic ahaadeeth in the two Saheeh collections (of Bukhaaree and Muslim) to suit their desires.

Impressions of Shaykh Safiur Rahman Mubarakpooree about Maududi.

A view of Maududi upon which he stood with firmness and the truth is that he laid the foundation for his Jamaat (group, i.e Jamat e islami) upon this view. And presented this view with such strength that even great scholars were influenced by him and they even accepted it, even though they did not enter him Jamaat, but they were influenced by his thoughts and accepted them. When these views came before me, even I was confused for a few days. But after that Allaah Tala opened this matter (masala) in such a clear way that no type of doubt or confusion remained . Now I will present it before you, then there will be no doubt or confusion for you too InshaAllaah. So clearly Allaah Taala has opened it.

The view of Maulana (Maududi) was that if there is continuous following (Itaah) of someone, then this is the worship (Ibadah) of that person .the Muslim is in continuous following (Itaah) of Allaah Taala and he follow (Itaah) the Prophet SalAllaahu alaihiwasallam because Allaah Taala ordered to follow him. Thus the following (Itaah) of the Prophet salAllaahu alaihiwasallam is in accordance to the following (Itaah) of Allaah Taala, therefore when he SalAllaahu alaihiwasallam is followed it is the following of Allaah Taala and this worship (Ibaadah) becomes the worship (Ibaadah) of Allaah. Now from here he (Maududi) has raised another problem that if a government does not govern according to the law laid by Allaah Taala then following that government will be worshipping that government and this is Shirk. And this is where he (Maududi) took his view of Shirk in Haakimiyyah and presented it strongly, and many a people are busy in it till date. Now I will present its truth before you, I mean t say that books of about a hundered, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred, six hundred and in some cases eight hundred pages have been written by many people on this topic. The matter has been confused in such a way and with such long debates that it becomes difficult to imagine. That is why I present this matter before you in a few clear and firm way.

Is Itaah (following) the same as Ibaadah(worship). Or is Ibaadah something else and Itaah something else? Understand this well! To explain it I will present one or two examples before you. A youth of Jamaat-e-Islami came to me and started talking, I was also talking to him. Now he came to his Daawah (Call) that Sir(Saheb), this is our Daawah. I said: Yes, I know that. He wanted me to accept it so I said Look this Daawah (Call) of yours is not Saheeh (right). He asked How is it not right? I said: If this quote of yours is right that if someone follows (Itaah) a government and that government does not govern according to the law laid down by Allaah then this following (Itaah) becomes worship (Ibaadah). If this is right then please do me a favour, go out and watch any muslim on the road, that if he is riding a bicycle on the left hand side of the road (in India vehicles need to keep left- keep left rule) then tell him O Brother! do not ride your bicycle this way, it is shirk to ride your bicycle by left side of the road.
Now he got violently irritated and asked Maulana (Shaikh) what are you saying ? I said: I am saying the same thing you said , I am just showing you the consequences of your daawah. He asked How? I said: this government of India.., ..is its governance in accordance to the laws laid down by Allaah or not? He said Its is not, it is being governed without accepting the law of Allaah. Then I said then this following its laws (of the Indian Governement) is Shirk, isnt it? He said It will be (Shirk) then I said, The riding of bicycle on the left side is the part of the same law, therefore if someone rides a bicycle on the left side then he is following the government, and you call its following (Itaah) to be worship(Ibaadah). And Ibaadah (worship) of Ghayr Allaah (other than Allaah) is supposed to be shirk, therefore it (this following) becomes Shirk. Now he got extremely worried. He then said  Sir (Saheb) now you show me what is right then and what isnt right. I said Now see Itaaah (following) is something else and Ibaadah(worship) is something else. It is possible that sometimes a deed (amal) is Itaah (following) and also Ibadah (worship) but it is also possible that a deed is Itaah but not ibaadah, and it is also possible that a deed is Ibaadah but not Itaah, all of this is possible. He asked How come? I said  You listen I will show you, Ibraheem alaihisalaam came to his people and asked what do you worship? the people said  we worship idls and to them we are ever devoted. Now tell me that the idols the people were worshipping were they also following these idols? These idols were unable from the beginning that they could order to do or not to do something, then these people who were worshipping it does mean worship but does no mean following over here. It must be agreed that these pople were not following but were worshipping. He agreed to this. Now a little more ahead, Allaah taala has mentioned regarding Christians at many places ( meaning verses) in Al Quraan Al Majid. Allah Taala will ask Eesa alaihisalaam on the day of resurrection Did you say to men: Worship me and my mother as two gods (Ilaah) besides Alaah so Eesa alaihisalaam will immediately deny this and will say  I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up You were the watcher over them and You are a Witness to all things:. This way he will deny all knowledge about their actions and will declare himself free from what they used to do. Well, and in the same Al Quraan, it is shown regarding the Christians and those who used to worship Eesa alaihisalaam, that these people used to worship such a person who canot give them any gain nor any loss. So it is known that they used to worship Eesa alaihisalaam and Eesa alaihisalaam cannot givem them gain or loss. Now the matter is that, is their worship of Eesa alaihisalaam to be considered his following also? I asked him Their worship is proved, Al Quraan also calls this action of theirs as worship. So the Christians who worship Eesa alaihisalaam were they also following him? They were not following Eesa alaihisalam , as Eesa alaihisalaam never ordered them to worship him on the contrary he has ordered them not to worship him. So they were exaggerating in this matter, and instead of following him they were rebelling against him and it was worship. So for worship it is not necessary that the one being worshipped is being followed worship can be done without following and even on the condition of rebellion, will it not be worship?.

This is the matter which becomes thoroughly clear. Now that it is clear. What must you know? To accept someones orders and put them in action, this is Itaah(following). And to seek nearness to someone I mean by pleasing him. And his pleasure is not conditional upon reasons. Then to do something for his pleasure is Ibadah (worship). So those people (Christians) used to work for the pleasure of Eesa alaihisalam , therefore this is worship (as they thought this would please him). Yet they were not obedient to him, so this is not Itaah (following). When we pray (offer salaah), we seek Allaah taalas pleasure and nearness in that sense this (Salaah) is worship. And we are acting upon the orders of Allaah in that sense this (salaah) is following. Itaah(following) is in a different meaning and ibaadah (worship) is in a different meaning. Salaah is a single act but it is a combination of both Ibaadah and Itaah.
Now as Maulana Maududi has raised this point that continuous Itaah o f someone is Ibadah. Therefore he says that if a slave lives his life in following Allaah Taala then the whole life becomes Ibadah. But it is apparent by relying on the view of Al Quraan this whole life will not be Ibaadah whatsoever, but will be Itaah of the slave acts upon the orders of Allaah taala, then he has followed for his whole life and this is worthy of being rewarded for which he will be rewarded (InshaAllaah). But it will not be called Ibaadah, This is the right conclusion of meaning.

An extract from letter of Shaykh Ibn Baz (rahimahumullah) to Al-Mawdudy concerning the difference between 'Ibadah (worship) and obedience

In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful

An extract from my letter I sent to His Excellency Shaykh Abu Al-A`la Al-Mawdudy concerning the difference between `Ibadah (worship) and obedience

On 2/4//1392 AH, Abu Al-A`la Al-Mawdudy sent me a letter no. 1526, dated 2 Safar, 1392 A.H. explaining his case and Tufayl's, his successor in the leadership of Islamic Group. I replied in the same year when I was the president of the Islamic university in Medinah and the following is some of my reply:

Some brothers from Milbar living in the country told me that Your Eminence see that `Ibadah is clarified by obedience and that when someone obeys another, he worships him. `Ibadah is also interpreted as enslavement and idolization. Furthermore, Sheikh `Umar ibn Ahmad Al-Millibary, owner of Al-Salsabil Magazine, wrote to me concerning this issue asserting what is mentioned about you and the Group. He sent me a copy of a survey pertaining to this question. You will find an enclosed copy of it.

This question appears strange for me so I determined to write to you before I receive your letter to know whether these statements which are attributed to you are true. So, please let me know your opinion. I see that obedience has a wider scope than `Ibadah. Every act of `Ibadah a person does in compliance with Allah's Shari`ah is seen as obedience, but not every act of obedience to anything other than Allah (may He be Exalted) is seen as `Ibadah. This matter needs more elaboration. Obedience to Allah (may He be Exalted) is seen as `Ibadah when a person seeks to please Him. However, it may be valid or corrupt depending on whether the requirements of `Ibadah are met.

Please tell me in details your view on this question. It adds further explanation that `Ibadah may be denied by when tainted with Shirk as Allah says concerning Mushrik (one who associates others with Allah in His Divinity or worship),(Surah Al-Kafirun, 109: 3) Nor will you worship that which I worship. `Ibadah is negated because of their acts of Shirk. It is known that they worship Allah (may He be Exalted) during times of hardships through showing Tawhid, performing Hajj and `Umrah, offering Sadaqah and so on.

Since these acts of `Ibadah are spoiled by Shirk, disbelief in the Hereafter and other kinds of disbelief during times of prosperity, it is permissible to negate the `Ibadah of people who show it. Furthermore, I would like to explain another point. The person who obeys the authorities or rulers in something forbidden by Allah (may He be Exalted) is not seen worshipping them when he does not believe in the permissibility of obedience to anyone in something opposing Allah's Shari`ah. They rather obey these rules out of fear of their evils or vain desires while they know that they are sinful. Due to their act of obedience, such persons are sinners, not Mushriks, unless they obey such rulers in matters which do not involve Shirk. Examples of these matters include striking, killing, and taking someone's money unjustly. There are many other examples that come under this heading. I think this view is known by the people of knowledge whose status is below yours. I find it imperative to ask you about this and know your detailed opinion so that I can refute any claim against you and support you with sure knowledge and show the truth concerning the Islamic Group to any one who seeks it.

If what is attributed to you is true, we can discuss it thoroughly and examine the problematic issues using the evidence. The truth is the long-sought aim of everyone.

We ask Allah (may He be Exalted) to grant us success to do what pleases Him and to comprehend His Religion and to adhere to it. May Allah purify our hearts and deeds and make the truth our long-sought aim wherever we are, for He is the Most Generous! As-salamu `alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!)

To err is human. No man is perfect except our beloved Prophet (sws) and all Anbiyah and that is because these people were guarded by Allah (swt).

Patience will lead to paradise as the brother of this thread says.

Please be patient and read Tafheem-ul-Quran. Read all scholars and be able to judge yourself.

dear brother,

The Purpose of this thread is to make YOU aware of the dangerous mistakes in creed of the author of Tafheem-ul-Quran and that Knowledge should only be taken from Authentic source and that one should NOT learn from him.

Every Innovation is misguidance and lead one to the Hell-Fire.

I tried to make aware to you the innovation of this man... in order that you take heed and protect your religion from him

I advice you to read Tafseer ibn Katheer.. and give up learning Islam from this man books and read from the authentic books of the Salaf ... and learn tawheed and pillars of Iman in detail from authentic books

i have a link below in my signature that takes you to website where u can buy authentic books on Muslim belief.

yes but nobody has the right to criticize the Sahaba of our Prophet SAW (PBUH) and maududi is also a Gustakh e Rasool SAW (PBUH) here is the proof
" Is the history of 1300 years is not proved that prophet mohammed's assumption (of dajjal) is not right" {tarjumanul quran part 28, no. 3}- (jamaate-islami ko phachaniye - page 80).

:salam2: brother,
Are you telling us that our Prophet :saw: assumed things and then told us, astagfirullah.
No, what ever he told us is the truth from Allah Subhanu wa Taa'lah.
May Allah Subhanu wa Taa'lah save us from these fitnas.

you misunderstood dear brother.

He is quoting a mistake that mawdudi made, to show you how unreliable he is for you to take Knowledge of the deen from him.

Some one should pay time to know about him before shunning him completely he was a human so he erred so did every other mufassireen

To Brother Abu Talib and others,

May Allah have mercy upon you all.



All the refutations are not done by layman people like you and me.

The Ullama are the ones who are warning against him and from taking knowledge from his works and have made us know with EVIDENCE that he was a man who was NOT upon the Sunnah.

I am the thread starter and I posted to this public what the major Scholars said about mawdoodee teachings and you can see who those scholars are above.

What is the principle we know regarding this issue from the salaf?

The principle is that due to the serious mistakes in Aqeedah and other areas as well that Mawdoode made, the methodology we know from the understanding of the salaf is that

one should NOT praise him when mentioning his mistakes as praising him is calling towards his understanding
one should never take knowledge of Islam from his works and
one should warn others about him inorder to remove people from his misguiding teachings


It is not appropriate for you to say what you said below for indeed we know this man very well.

Some one should pay time to know about him before shunning him completely he was a human so he erred so did every other mufassireen

Sunning him completely is what we MUST do with regards to Mawdoode,s work and this is what the Scholars have said with regards to such deviated individuals.

I advise all to download this PDF below and read it VERY carefully.

Shieikh Mohammed Musa Shareef is way better than you and me in terms of knowledge why is he telling about a person who you say we should shun why is he even talking about him?

Can you comment this why are they asking to read from his book

and have as many children as she wants. Shaykh Al-Mawdudy (may Allah be merciful with him) discussed the subject elaborately in his book "Harakat Tahdid Al-Nasl" and you can read it, if you are interested. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.

This is irrelevent statement that musa Shareef is more knowledgeable them you or me.. dear brother your text above is indicating to me that you have not read the above refutations.

If you did read them , then did you not see who were the people who were refuting maawdoodee?

I am not the author of the above refutations rather they are the great ullama of our time!

All of the below Sheikhs have warned against taking knowledge from Mawdoode and it is the refutations of these Scholars that I used !!

Sheikh Ibn Baz,
Shaykh Al-Albaanee
Shaykh Saalih as-Suhaymee
Shaykh Muqbil bin Haadee Al-Waadi'ee
Shaykh Safiur Rahman Mubarakpooree,
Shaykh Rabee al-Madkhalee hafidhahullah
Shaikh Hammaad al-Ansaaree'
Shaykh Ubayd al-Jabiri
Shaykh Ahmad an-Najmee
Shaykh Dr. Saalih al-Fawzaan


Look brother did I not use the understanding of those scholars who are far more knowledgeable then this man Musa Shareef,

I do not know who Musa Shareef was until today and Allah knows best what his affairs are and why is he praising Mawdoode. Diffnatly he is ignorant of mawdoodue mistakes.


Why do you take Knowledge form every individual brother, stick to the greater scholar who are known to be upon the right understanding of the Salaf-as-salih and have no serious mistakes in there Aqeedah and Manhaj. Take from Ullama like Saalih al-Fawzaan or ibn baz etc


The late Muftee of Jeezaan, Allamah Ahmad an-Najmee rahimahullah was asked,

"O Shaikh, when we see callers (du'aat) in this land, praising (Sayid) Qutb and Mawdudi, and they sit with the Haraakiyyeen and the Hizbiyyeen and they revile the Salafees, is it permissible for us to warn against them?"

The Shaikh replied, "Yes, it is permissible for you to warn against them. The one who, the one who...the one who sits with the Haraakiyyeen and supports them and sits with them and reviles the Salafees, then this contains an evidence for his bid'ah."


Sheikh Zaid al-Madkhalee hafidhahullah said in his book 'Al-Irhaab wa Aathaaruhu fil-Afraad wal-Mujtami'ah' [Terrorism and its Effects on Individuals and Societies] p.134,

"One of the reasons why I say that it is forbidden to sell Abul-A'la al-Mawdoodee's books are his words:

'Prophet Yoosuf didn't only want to be a Minister for Enterprise and Energy, rather also a dictator, and that's why his condition was much like Mussolini's condition in Italy'."



Can you comment this why are they asking to read from his book

We are advised by the scholars NOT read from Mawdudi works as you have seen above after that there should be no doubt, no matter who says else wise .and that is what we should follow as for the link you sent Allah knows best but it is a mistake and for those who have given firm knowledge and in-dept understanding of this issue for them it doesn't change the reality of the matter at all as the Truth is clear from the Falsehood.

And Allah knows best brother
May Allah help us all with the understanding of His deen.

Praise be to Allah!
Assalamu 'alaykum. Sorry to open this thread again, but there was something important that I wanted to post here.

I want to request brother az101 to please save the members of this forum from his extremism. The website and group you quote from are known to be extreme in the disguise of "following the salaf"


All of the below Sheikhs have warned against taking knowledge from Mawdoode and it is the refutations of these Scholars that I used !!

Sheikh Ibn Baz,
Shaykh Al-Albaanee



The 'Allamah Shaykh bin Baaz, one of the most knowledgeable scholars of our time,.one of the most knowledgeable in aqeedah and whose students are considered the most knowledgeable in aqeedah in our times.... he was asked a question.

The question was regarding his view on the books of al- Mawdudi, sayyid Qutb and abul hasan al nadwi and this was his reply
http://www.binbaz.org.sa/mat/10678

أرجو من سماحتكم أن تتفضلوا بإبداء رأيكم حول مؤلفات أبي الأعلى المودودي، وأبي الحسن الندوي ، وسيد قطب ؟

كلها كتب مفيدة، كتب هؤلاء الثلاثة رحمهم الله كلها كتب مفيدة، فيها خير كثير ولا تخلو من بعض الأغلاط، كل إنسان يؤخذ من قوله ويترك، ليسوا معصومين، وطالب العلم إذا تأملها عرف ما فيها من الأخطاء. ووجهه من الحق، وهم رحمهم الله قد اجتهدوا في الخير ودعوا إلى الخير وصبروا على المشقة في ذلك، وأبو الحسن موجود والحمد لله وفيه الخير الكثير، ولكن ليس معصوم ولا غيره من العلماء، العصمة للرسل عليهم الصلاة والسلام وما يبلغون عن الله، والرسل عصمهم الله لما يبلغون عن الله، وهكذا الأنبياء أما العلماء كله عالم يخطئ ويصيب ولكن بحمد الله صوابهم أكثر وقد أفادوا وأجازوا ونفعوا الناس يقول مالك رحمه الله، مالك بن أنس إمام دار الهجرة في زمانه: ما منا إلا راد ومردود عليه إلا صاحب هذا القبر. يعني الرسول -صلى الله عليه وسلم-، فالمؤمن يطلب العلم وهكذا المؤمنة تطلب العلم كل واحد يتفقه في الدين ويتبصر ويسأل عما أشكل عليه ويقرأ القرآن ويقرأ السنة ، يعتني حتى يعرف الحق بأدلته، وحتى يعرف الغلط إذا غلط العالم ولا يجوز أن يقال هذا فلان، العالم الجليل يؤخذ قوله كله من دون نظر، لا بل من النظر والعناية وعرضها على الأدلة الشرعية فما وافقها قبل وما خالف الأدلة الشرعية ترك، وإن كان عظيماً، وإن كان له أجر عظيم، وإن كان مجتهداً في الخير، وإن كان مشهورا.

In summary the above fatwa states the following points:

- Their books are beneficial (i.e. Sayyid Qutb's, Al-Mawdudi's and Al-Nadwi's).

- He then said that no scholar is free from error and that their books had some errors.

- He then said that these, may Allah have mercy on them, strove to do good, called towards good etc.

- He then said that every scholar makes mistakes and also gets a lot correct. As to what they are correct in is far more and outweighs what is bad.

This is what Shaykh al-Albani had to say about him when he was asked about Mawdudi

http://shaikhalbaani.wordpress.com/...di-and-salmaan-and-his-advice-to-the-youth-1/

Shaykh al-Albani made some remarkable statements towards the end:

" I advise you and the other youths who–it seems to us are on a crooked path, and Allaah knows best–to stop wasting your time in criticising each other, saying so and so said this, and so and so said that, and so and so said this.Because, firstly, this has nothing to do with knowledge whatsoever. And secondly, this way fills one with spite and brings about malice and hatred in the hearts.It is only upon you to seek knowledge."

It's very important that we are careful before labelling anyone a kaafir, innovator or faasiq. If some of the most senior and knowledgeable of our scholars took a balanced stance, it only makes sense that as laymen we are balanced as well so as to not cause fitnah, fasaad and disunity amongst Ahl al-sunnah.

We are advised by the scholars NOT read from Mawdudi works as you have seen above after that there should be no doubt, no matter who says else wise .and that is what we should follow as for the link you sent Allah knows best but it is a mistake and for those who have given firm knowledge and in-dept understanding of this issue for them it doesn't change the reality of the matter at all as the Truth is clear from the Falsehood.

And Allah knows best brother
May Allah help us all with the understanding of His deen.

I would like to here what you have to say about Shaykh b. Baz's fatwa, considering he is someone who has been given former knowledge.

The extract from the letter of Shaykh b. Baz that you posted is not even a refutation of mawdudi, it was a letter of advice and not a refutation. In the letter Shaykh b. Baz addresses him with utmost respect by addressing him with "His eminence" and did not address him as an innovator or any label of that sort.

BarakAllah feekum.
