Question: Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullah,
I would like to ask Mufti sahb ragarding the book 'futoohush Shaam' which is being translated by your esteemed madrassah. One of my friend told me that the book is attributed wrongly to imam Waqidi and that it contains lot fabricated stories in it. Does Mufti sahb have any tahqeeq on this issue?

The Barelwi ‘Imkaan-e-Kithb’ Bogey

The Barelwi sect has kicked up much dust and dirt and has blown a lot of hot and stale air in its nefarious ruse of vilifying some of the greatest personages and savants of this Ummah in recent times. They have slapped a ‘fatwa’ of kufr on Hazrat Moulana Rasheed Ahmed Gangohi, Hazrat Moulana Qaasim Saheb Nanotwi, Hazrat Moulana Khaleel Ahmad Ambethwi, Hazrat Shah Ismail Shaheed and many other Akaabir Ulama of this Ummah. May Allah Ta’ala cast His Gaze of Rahmat on these illustrious Ulama of Deoband and grant them Jannatul Firdaus, Aameen. The Father of the patriarch of Barelwism states: “Moulana Rasheed Ahmed Saheb Muhaddith of Gangohi and Moulana Muhammad Qaasim Saheb Nanotwi are Ulama of the Deen and True Mu-mineen,” yet the patriarch and his offspring deem it fit and ‘ibaadat’ to speak in horrendous terms about these Awliya of Allah. There is no escape from hurting Allah Ta’ala’s Friends. Let all Barelwis take note.

The system of Modesty & Chastity in Islam

Importance of marriage and its stability:

Whereas Islam has made it a father's responsibility to arrange, timely marriage of his son or daughter, the son or the daughter are also required to understand its importance and not to oppose any such proposal made by the father. It is the father's responsibility to make a suitable selection of a match for his son or daughter. Among other things he should have his eyes on the moral and religious sectors of prospective candidates. A boy or a girl with good religious background is expected to prove loyal and such a marriage may be stable and without troubles. Allah has forbidden marriage of Muslim males with polytheistic females:

Ridicule

Allah Ta’ala says:

Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed, and whenever they passed by them, used to wink at each other [in mockery] (Qur'an 83: 29-30)

Allah the All-Gracious says:

But you treated them with ridicule to the point that they made you forget My remembrance, and you used to laugh at them. (Qur'an 23: 110)

Allah Ta’ala says:

O’ you who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at others it may be that the [latter] are better than the former. Nor let some women laugh at others, it may be that the [latter] are better than the former. .. (Qur'an 49: 11)
