Al-Azhar scholars expose Tahirul Qadri

Al-Azhar scholars expose Tahirul Qadri

Since the publication of the March issue of The Islamic Post in which we, Al-Azhar

University scholars in Cairo, Egypt, exposed Tahir Qadri as a fraud, multiple exposs have

been posted regarding Mr Muhammad Tahir, who has given himself the title Sheikh-ul-

Islam and conferred upon himself the alias of Tahir-ul-Qadri, having spent a great deal

of time, money, and effort promoting himself under the aforementioned title.

He has managed to deceive many Muslims who are ill-informed of his background and have

been deceived by the media glitz & glamour of his paid advertising published on the Internet.In

reflecting upon the warnings of the Holy Last Messenger (PBUH), we find that such people whospend such effort to achieve this type of recognition and honour upon worldly pursuits are

always disgraced.Tahir-ul-Qadri (a native of Jhang, in Pakistan) is founding chairman of thepolitical party Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT), which was organised during one of the most

corrupt periods in the country. He is also the head of the Minhaj-ul-Quran (MQI) organisation,

which he also founded.

Questions have been put forth demanding documentation that Tahir was given the most

illustrious and respected title of Sheikh-ul-Islam; however, he has failed to respond exceptwith a flood of internet videos posted on Youtube, showing the President of Al-Azhar

University, Muhammad Usama Al-Abd, using the title Sheikh-ul-Islam in the introduction of

Tahir-ul-Qadri. Why didnt MQI also inform thepeople that Al-Abds function with theuniversity is administrative and that he doesnt have any such authority to officially confer sucha title? Pakistan is not an Islamic state like that of Turkey during the time of the Khulafa

Uthmani, wherein the Sheikh-ul-Islam was also an appointed position endorsed by the Khalifa.

Thus, no authority in the respectable country of Pakistanor Egyptcan sanction this title insuch a manner.

3/6

One salient qualification that earns the title of Sheikh-ul-Islam is evident in those who have

attained the level of friendship with Allah (Al-Wilaya). We repeat the quote from Allama Shams

El-Din El-Sakhawi, from his book, Al-Jawahir ad-Durar fi Tarjima Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Hajar, inregards to the title of Sheikh-ul-Islam: Sheikh al Islam, as inferred from its use as a term among

the authorities, is a title attributed to that follower of the Book of Allah Most High and the

example of His Messenger, who possesses the knowledge of the principles of the Science (ofReligion), has plunged deep into the different views of the scholars, has become able to extractthe legal evidences from the texts, and has understood the rational and the transmitted proofs at a

satisfactory level.

Sakhawi added that, At times, this title is given to those who have attained the level of

friendship with Allah (Al-Wilaya), and from whom people derive blessings both when they are

alive and when they have passed on. Similarly, whoever has tread the true path of the People ofIslam and has come out unscathed from the folly and ignorance of youth; and whoever has

become a living apparatus for others in solving difficulties or winning a struggle, and a refuge in

every difficulty: these are the meanings of the word as used by the general public.

From an academic standpoint, it is becoming increasingly well known that Mr Tahir has

plagiarised works that many Ulema have spent their lives researching and developing. Commonsense leads us to inquire as to why he was in Egypt and needed Arabic translatorsin areas

where the colloquial Arabic was minimal. Every Aalim in Islamic history that held the title of

Sheikh-ul-Islam (especially in the Arab world) was known, first and foremost, to be advanced

in his knowledge of the Arabic language. Take from the example of perhaps the greatest Aalimin the Islamic world, Sheikh-ul-Islam Abdul Qadir Gilani.

Sheikh Abdul Qadir Gilani was, and still is, known throughout the whole Islamic world forsurpassing all of his teachers in all of the Islamic sciences he studied, including extraordinary

levels of the Arabic language. Are we to believe that Tahir-ul-Qadri is of the same calibre ofthose who have excelledvia honest efforts and sacrificesin Islamic knowledge and authorednumerous beneficial literary works? Why is it no other follower of the Qadiri Tariqah, or even

the Sheikh of the Qadiri Tariqah himselfEl Sheikh Sayyid Mubarik Ali Gilanihas come to

know of this declaration?Our demand to Tahir-ul-Qadri for answers still stands:

1. Who made you Sheikh-ul-Islam, and on what ground?

2. Why are you accepting funding from Iran, especially when Iran has established its enmity with

Pakistan? The Sharia is the standard of laws that Muslims obey and is an absolute must for any

seeker on the Qadiri path, which your suffix suggests. Under which law are you adhering,wherein you find it legitimate to project interminable waves of flyers and big-screen television

projections of yourself like that which is found in Iran and acceptable under Shia convention?

Know that Almighty Allah condemns such people, as they are people of Shaitan. There is a

strange tie that you still have not revealed to the public in regards to your relations with Iran,

especially with your trip to Iran ten years ago, wherein your return to Pakistan was animmediate/overnight change of disposition supplemented with millions of Pakistani Rupees to

fund the building of elaborate complexes.

3. What do you have to say, officially, to the charges levied against you from one of the high

courts in Pakistan?We know that Tahir-ul-Qadri is planning to return to Pakistan to instigate a

revolution like the ones that have brought civil wars and instability to North Africa (i.e. Libya)and the Middle East (i.e. Syria), causing catastrophic grief and releasing a flood of extremists.

Our Ulema in the United States, Canada, and Al-Azhar are condemning this false Sheikh and

therefore we advise people to avoid him and stay away from him. Our statement to Tahir-ul-Qadri still remains firm: Keep away from our homeland, the United States of America, as historyshows that your intent is to exploit and undermine the hard works and sacrifices of American

Muslims for the sake of the New World Order.Nation
