SNAKES HIDDEN IN
PAKISTAN
FORUM AND
ININ
He has declared victory (once again).
My friends tell me that he is probably a
Zionist
agent (notice his connection with RAWA) and
wants to make me waste my time on his scatterbrained allegations and
accusations. Dear friends, try to understand why I waste my time on
him. He is a wealthy Pakistani immigrant, well-established in
the Baltimore area of the
United States.
He has collected a large number
of Pakistani addresses and started a discussion group called 'Pakistan
Forum." On this forum he repeatedly and abusively makes these points:
1. Hadith
and Sunnah are unacceptable. (Here he repeats the stories
written by missionaries,
Jews
and Perwaizis.)
2. All scholars who accept and teach Hadith are to be condemned.
2a. Hence ALL religious leaders of Pakistan are to be condemned because
they all accept Hadith. (That's why I call his forum "Na-Pakistan Forum.")
3. Imam Bukhari
was a "Criminal." (Here he distributes a bunch of
fabrications from his friend Dr. Shabbir in Florida.)
4. He abuses Maulana Maudoodi and Jamaate Islami in particular.
[RAWA, a communist group, is acceptable to him but not Jamaate Islami.]
5. He claimed that Kerbala never happened and debunked Tabari's history in
which Kerbala is detailed. (S.M. probably stole this allegation from a
well-known Sunni sectarian's book published in Pakistan and probably
reproduced by Perwaizi types in America.)
6. Masjid al-Aqsa
is not in Jerusalem. [This especially pleased the
Zionists.]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the meantime, he notices that my organization
Jamaat al-Muslimeen
and my publication
New Trend
(which he once supported) are making headway
across America. So he decided to do a smear job on me. First he claimed
that I am a Sunni and have insulted hazrat 'Umar (r.a.) and that I worship
Bukhari. This didn't get him far because of the inherent incoherence of
his claim. Then he brought up a quote from New Trend of two years back,
torn out of context, to claim that I do not respect hazrat 'Umar (r.a.).
The page number he gave was page 2. He forgot to tell readers that his
own name appeared on page 4 of the same issue as member of the editorial
committee. (He was not like this at that time. He has undergone
some psychological setbacks which turned him against Islam.) The article
I wrote was in answer to a Christian missionary's attack on the
Qur'an
on
the issue of "Variants" in the Qur'an. I doubt if he even knows the
meaning of "Variants in the Qur'an" but he still went ahead and made his
allegations. This attack BROUGHT OUT ANOTHER SNAKE IN THE GRASS: YAHYA OF
ININ. Yahya of ININ is not a scholar of Hadith or of
Islam
by any stretch
of the imagination. He simply distributes articles written and published
by others. AT ONE TIME I CRITICIZED MUSLIMS WHO SUPPORTED THE
BUSH
CAMPAIGN. These persons happened to be Yahya's friends/paymasters. He
immediately started sending me abusive emails defending the Muslims
supporting Bush. EVENTS PROVED THAT I WAS CORRECT IN MY ANALYSIS AND BUSH
TURNED OUT TO BE THE WORST ENEMY OF THE ISLAMIC WORLD. Instead of openly
accepting his error, Yahya went into a clever retreat and started
distributing Islamic info as if he had never supported the pro-Bush
Muslims. Now, his accusations were a godesend for him. YAHYA HAS NOT
EVEN SEEN THE ARTICLE HE IS REFERRING TO but as soon as YAHYA of ININ
saw his abuse, he started distributing it. Like him, he has
collected many addresses for his ININ and can be quite effective in
spreading lies and accusations.
-----------------------------------------------------
He then went on to talk about hazrat 'Ayesha's (r.a.) age. He is not
willing to admit that whatever he knows of the issue is from a book I
reviewed and which is on my web site:
www.newtrendmag.org under Hadith.
[He refers to this book in his "last rites" statement.] Dishonest as
he is in his intellectual pursuits, he is not willing to accept the
fact that the only article in English on the subject is in my words on my
web site. I PLAYED A LITTLE WITH HIM TO BRING OUT THE FACT THAT ISLAMIC
ISSUES CANNOT BE DISCUSSED WITHOUT ACCEPTANCE OF HADITH. He cannot move
even an inch because the ONLY source for hazrat 'Ayesha's name is Hadith,
not the Qur'an. [Early Islamic history also comes from Hadith and hadith
about history is WEAKER in its credentials than Hadith on FARAID, AHKAM,
etc.] Notice his parting shot. This I think is the sign of the
MUNAFIQ. He writes: "With his current mindset, my friends, it is quite
possible that Mr.
Kaukab
may travel to Pakistan and find an old man
willing to unload his burden to give Mr. Kaukab a less than 'young wife.'
Perhaps he is mentally preparing himself for that." I could pay him back
in kind by talking about his wife and daughters but I want readers to see
the difference between one who follows the example of the Prophet (pbuh)
and one who does not. He is obviously so full of hate for Islam and
Muslims that he could not help making a personal remark about my family.
He has done the same for many other people: in fact this was his way of
removing dissenters from his Na-Pakistan Forum. He would launch such an
abusive personal insult that decent people would leave. Finally, serious
readers should understand that the PROPHET (pbuh) is an example for all
people for all times. He married women who were older than him as well as
those nearer his age. In some circumstances, to help the helpless, child
marriage is a blessing. The hadith permit child marriage but give the girl
the right to end the marriage when she is mature. Such marriages do not
involve sex. The "husband" is more of a guardian than a sexual partner. In
the perfect, wealth-protected world of his, such a marriage is
an abomination but ask the people who want such marriages to be accepted
for the sake of the children. In the Qur'an polygamy, for instance, is
permitted. That does not mean that it is unrestricted. Nor does that mean
that every Muslim man will have four wives (though such charges are made
by missionaries). Similarly in some circumstances, child marriage is
permitted. The Qur'an gave hazrat 'Ayesha (r.a.) and other wives of the
Prophet (pbuh) A CHOICE to stay with the Prophet (pbuh) or leave him with
full honor and worldly recompense. This is very clear in the Qur'an but I
don't want to make it easy for him HE STILL NEEDS A TEACHER,
desperately.
