Trending Discussions In reflecting upon the warnings of the Holy Last Messenger
(PBUH), we find that such people who spend such effort to
achieve this type of recognition and honour upon worldly pursuits
are always disgraced.
Friendly enemies Tahir-ul-Qadri (a native of Jhang, in Pakistan) is founding
22 chairman of the political 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.
May 29 drone hit dampens prospects of Kerry’s Pak ...Questions have been put forth demanding documentation that
16 Tahir was given the most illustrious and respected title of
“Sheikh-ul-Islam”; however, he has failed to respond except with
a flood of internet videos posted on Youtube, showing the
President of Al-Azhar University, Muhammad Usama Al-Abd,
Emotions and pragmatism using the title “Sheikh-ul-Islam” in the introduction of Tahir-ul-
Qadri. Why didn’t MQI also inform the people that Al-Abd’s
7 function with the university is administrative and that he doesn’t
have any such authority to officially confer such a 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
Drones strategy
appointed position endorsed by the Khalifa. Thus, no authority in
8 the respectable country of Pakistan - or Egypt - can sanction this
title in such a manner.
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, in regards 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 (of Religion), has
plunged deep into the different views of the scholars, has become able to extract the 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 of Islam
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. Common sense leads us to inquire as to why he was in Egypt
and needed Arabic translators - in 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 Aalim in the Islamic world, Sheikh-ul-
Islam Abdul Qadir Gilani. Sheikh Abdul Qadir Gilani was, and still is, known throughout the whole Islamic world for
surpassing 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 of those who have excelled - via honest efforts and sacrifices
- in Islamic knowledge and authored numerous beneficial literary works? Why is it no other follower of the Qadiri
Tariqah, or even the Sheikh of the Qadiri Tariqah himself - El Sheikh Sayyid Mubarik Ali Gilani - has 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 an immediate/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 history shows that your intent is to exploit and
undermine the hard works and sacrifices of American Muslims for the sake of the New World Order.

Oh no Adnan, do not fight with them. I am a funded Molvii & I will be paying 2000 rupees to poor
people for appearing in the long march. I am concerned about Pakistan, but my allegiance is with
Canada. I am an expert of faking dreams & crying, I am a fraud and a big opportunist. Can you not
see that the killer part MQM has aligned with me?
I want you to follow me, I will get you out of this 'shit' situation & put you into even a bigger shittier
situation.Warm regards,

I am settled in Australia for the last 15 years and now I understand why our country is going
down the drain. It's because of people like you and the ones who have been
commenting using sheer dirty language. You are being ruled by people like you and that's
what Allah has promised. Please try to change yourself or else get ready for further
disaster. What's wrong about Dr sahib's Canadian Immigration? How many of you
commenting here would simply refuse the immigration if you get a change to get that? Dr
Sahib has got his Canadian Nationality to make sure he can easily travel around to world to
deliver his lectures. He is there to help you people. Help him to help you.
Regards,

Adnan, like you I have lived all my life in the UK. You are absolutely right. It is damn
difficult for a corrupt society to accept the fact that unlike them, people are perfectly
capable of behaving and acting in a reasoned, rational, honest and upright manner.
In Pakistan, people react with just emotions rather than thinking through with
reason. They are only interested in their likes or dislikes based on charged
emotions, rather than weighing the rights or wrongs based on reasoned thinking. If
they don't like, they become angry and abusive like children; there is nothing
rational or sober about their behavior. Somehow for reasons unknown, rational
behavior is incompatible with their temperament and mindset.

These are not the scholars of al-Azhar; these are bunch of graduates
from al-Azhar who are using their connetion to al-Azhar to defame Dr.
Qadri.See the following links where the 'real' scholars and authorities of al-Azhar praise Dr. Qadri
and officially approve his works:

LOL i knw them, their not even graduates, theyve been in Al Azhar for 2-3 years. Someone
should ask them (havent been in touch since they moved to Egypt), who made them the
"scholars of Al Azhar", jahil people, spreading lies about a great sheikh like, Shaykh ul
Islam Dr Tahir ul Qadri saab.

Thank you for clarifying the facts, which many of these foolish commentators have not
taken trouble to find out. Our people are so foolish, we will believe a person just because
he is Arab, as if he is some holy man, mostly people from backward areas will believe
anything by Arabs, they dont have open mind, and will start name calling and filthy
language and this shows what great Muslims these people are, a true Muslim never hurts
another.

If you are Muslim, then it is their right to be concerned about Pakistan, especially if even they can
see that this liar is trying to lead us into a catastrophic situation, resulting in India taking us over.

I do not care what name he is known by. As an average person with an average knowledge of my
religion I really admire this man. A great orator a man with amazing understanding and interpretation of
the Quran. I for one am totally for people like him. The Muslim world desperately need such intellectuals
to show leadership backed by knowledge. Those criticising him please name (other than a few) people
of similar calibre.

Shame on you so called Al-Azhar scholars. You and rest of the failed ulema have done nothing for islam
and muslims in general. Stop dividing the umma. You spend so much time fighting with each other.
Forget about titles. They matter nothing nowadays. Who cares whether he is Sheikh Ul Islam or not.
People are not looking at his title. They are seeing the work and action Dr Tahir ul Qadri is doing for the
welfare of Pakistan. He may not be perfect but he is better than the rubbish ulema, molvis, crappy
imams and useless corrupt politicians we have in Pakistan and other parts of the world. At least he is
doing something. You Al-Azhar scholars have all gone into character Assassinations and cannot
stomach if someone else is getting fame. Stop talking about different mazhabs and quoting history. We
live in 2013 and most of you have become redundant. I also urge people leaving comments to refrain
from swearing and foul language as it totally against the norm of a good muslim character.

Allah Almighty is watching you

Absolute incorrect information in this article. Who are these special scholars of Al-Azhar.
The change and process Dr Tahir ul Qadri is trying to be bring o Pakistan is a move not many have
dared to do in Pakistan because of many fearing the safety of their lives.
Change should be brought, for the people and society of Pakistan. Inshallah!!!

I read the Islamic Post newspaper and find it very informative especially in light of the fact they focus on
news most media ignore. In particular this man, Tahir Qadri, who gives himself many titles and never
refuses a photo-op only to use later on in an attempt to boost his presence, give himself status in the
eyes of the poorly educated Muslims worldwide.
I am glad to see that the Nation decided to reprint this expose and I hope they continue to follow the
Islamic Post and read/reprint much more of its articles.

In this article an effort was made to increase friction between sunnis and muslims. This article is clearly
work of satan Three Pakistani courts have ratified the efforts of Sheikul Islam as legitimate Arabs have
work of satan. Three Pakistani courts have ratified the efforts of Sheikul Islam as legitimate. Arabs have
no right to spend their petrodollars sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan. And Arabs have always been a
biased nation. Look as how you treat muslim brethren who come to work at your locations. Is it in the
Sharia what you do to them? Please mend your own people and your own Islam and try to ask for
forgiveness for your sins. So please keep your stupid philosophies to yourself and do not mess up with
us. You are not anymore any legitimate custodians of Islam. Just look at yourself. From Syria to poverty
in Egypt, to infidel-loving EmiratIs and Qatari and Kuwaitis, You are a dark spot on the face of Islam.
Rabbi najjini minalqaumizzualimeen, rabbinsurni alal qaumil mufsideen. AMEN.
