Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

You are wrong in your preachings.

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

The reason we invite our brothers to read and understand the Holy Quran, is because Allah has commanded the muslims in the Holy Quran to do so.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 Surah Aaraaf verse 164: When some of them asked, “Why do you preach to a people whom Allah is about to destroy or punish severely?”, they replied, “We admonish them in order to discharge our duty to our Lord, and we also hope that they might perchance, fear Him(Allah).”

Allah says in the Holy Quran: Chapter 16, Surah An-Nahl Ayat 125: Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and excellent admonition and argue with people in the best manner. Your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Way and who is Rightly guided.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah Anam verse 70: And leave alone those who have taken their ‘deen’ as a sport and past-time, and have been deluded by the life of this world. Nevertheless, you go on admonishing them by reciting the Quran to them, lest any person should be seized because of his own deeds; and that too, at a time, when there would be no protector, no helper and no ‘shafa’a’ (intercessor) to rescue him from Allah; when no conceivable amount of ransom would be accepted from him. This is because such people shall be seized, in consequence of what they themselves had earned.

Brothers and sisters, we just want you to contemplate on what have we done to deserve such bad words and curses from some of our brethren who write to us. Our only supposed crime has been that we are trying to invite our brothers and sisters to read the Holy Quran with understanding. Since when did understanding the Message of the Glorious Quran become a sin in Islam?

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 22 Surah Hajj verse 71-72: They worship besides Allah those for whom Allah has sent down NO AUTHORITY! Nor they themselves have any knowledge about them. Such transgressors have no helper! And when our CLEAR REVELATIONS are recited to them, you perceive signs of disdain on the faces of the disbelievers, as though they were going to ASSUALT those who recite our Revelations to them!

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imran verse 119: You are those who love them, but they do not love you, although you believe in the whole of the Book. When they meet you, they say, “We believe.” But when they are alone, they bite off the very tips of their fingers, in their rage against you. Say, “Perish in your rage! Allah knows well all the secrets of the hearts.”

We have time and again advised the readers on this forum to take what we write and double check with their aamils and their bhaisahebs, if anything that we write is against the guidance of the Holy Quran; and we have not received one letter to date stating that so and so aayah was misquoted or so and so aayah is not in the Quran! Allah is our witness, whatever we write is the Truth from the Holy Quran and from the authentic traditions of the Messenger of Allah (saws). If Allah forbid, we are misguiding you, then we are ready to bear the burden of our sin. But just imagine for one second, that if, what the Holy Quran states will come to pass? What will your state be then? Who will be your helper and protector then?

Allah sent us this Book for our guidance, and what have we done with it. We recite it day and night, but refuse to understand one aayah! We leave the understanding of the Quran to our self-made leaders and self-proclaimed holy men, and just follow them blindly wherever they lead us. These people have absolutely no authority from Allah, and, if we follow them blindly without referring to the Holy Quran, we will have no one to blame on the Day of Judgement, except ourselves!

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 33 Surah Ahzab verse 66-68: On the Day their faces are rolled about on the Fire, they will say, “Would that we had obeyed Allah and His Messenger!” And they will say, “O our Lord, we obeyed our CHIEFS and our GREAT MEN, and they led us astray from the Right Path. O our Lord, give them a double chastisement and curse them severely”.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah Anam verse 94: (And Allah will say), “So, you have come before Us all alone, as We created you at first. Now, you have left behind all that We gave you in the world. Now We do not see with you those ‘shufa’a’ (intercessors), who, you believed, had a share in moulding your destinies! All the relations between you and them have been cut off, and all those, in whom you trusted, have left you in the lurch.”

You have stated in your comments that you are a member of the ‘qasr-e-aali’, which apparently means that you must be a member of the Bohra ‘royal’ family; ie. From the syedna’s family. Alhamdolillah! We have quite a few people from the ‘qasr-e-aali’ who read our emails regularly, and you too are welcome to read the words of guidance from the Glorious Quran.

We have said time and again, that you are welcome to take these messages to any bhaisahebs, your brothers, your fathers, your uncles, whoever: your syedna, Quid Johar Bhaisaheb, Mufaddal Bhaisaheb, or whoever you like, and we challenge you and them to prove that even one aayah that we have quoted, is not from the Holy Quran. We challenge you to prove that even one aayah which we have quoted, does not mean what it says in context of the Holy Quran. We challenge you to prove that even one aayah is incorrectly translated or misconstrued in the context of the Glorious Quran! Just one aayah!!

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah Bani Israel verse 81: And declare, “The Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. And falsehood is a thing that must by its nature, vanish!”

And what do you have to say when we quote the aayahs from the Quran, and humbly invite our brethren to read the Holy Quran with understanding? You call us names like monkeys, donkeys, and ass! Is that how you are taught by your syedna and your teachers to propagate the Truth of Islam? Is that the guidance for propagating the Truth of Islam from the Quran and Sunnah of our Messenger (saws)? May Allah guide you to the True deen of Islam.

Allah says in the Holy Quran: Chapter 16, Surah An-Nahl Ayat 125: Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and excellent admonition and argue with people in the best manner. Your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Way and who is Rightly guided.

Thus if you think that by declaring that you are ‘qasr-e-aali’ and from the family of the syedna is going to scare us, please note that we fear none, but Allah Alone, as He Alone deserves to be feared! Why don’t you take these articles and consult your scholars, your syedna, your Quid Johar Bhaisaheb and your Muffaddal Bhaisaheb, and write back to us, giving us evidence from the Holy Quran, and we swear by Allah, we will circulate what you write to us for all our readers, Insha Allah.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 11 Surah Hud verse 35: Do they say, “He himself has forged all this (Quran)?”. Say to them, (O Mohamed), “If I have forged this (Quran) myself, I shall bear all its consequences, and I am clear of the sin you are committing.”

Ref: You comment: “U r gonna go to jahannam!”

It is a blessing and mercy of Allah, that he has not left the decision of sending people to Paradise or Hell Fire according to your criteria, but instead has Himself laid down the criteria in the Holy Quran.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Al Baqarah verse 111-112: The (Jews and Christians) say: “None shall enter Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian.” These are their wishful fancies! Say to them, “Bring your evidence if you are right in your claim!”. The fact is that no one has any special claim to Paradise! Whoever surrenders himself to Allah in obedience, and is a door of good deeds, shall have his reward with His Lord. There shall be neither fear nor grief for such people.

Thus if anybody is under the illusion that some people have a monopoly on Paradise, should read the above aayah of Surah Baqarah very carefully. Allah, the All Knowing, All Wise, says that no one has any special claim to Paradise. Whoever surrenders himself to Allah in obedience and does good deeds, shall have his reward with Allah. Thus, I hope that is enough proof that Allah has not granted any special status to the syedna or his family to decide who shall go to Paradise and who shall not. Allah Alone will be the Judge on that day, and Our Lord will Judge only with Justice.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 5 Surah Maidah verse 72: Whoever commits ‘shirk’ (invoking anything with Allah), Allah shall forbid for him Paradise, and Hell shall be his abode. And for such wrong doers there will be no one to help.

Thus now it becomes imperative on us to find out what is this sin of ‘shirk’ and what exactly are its manifestations, so that we can stay far away from it. One does not have to look far in the Holy Quran: Allah describes this sin of ‘shirk’ in tremendous detail, in almost every Surah of the Holy Quran. Once one understands the clear message of the Holy Quran, he will have no doubt in recognizing this abominable sin! Thus you owe it to yourself to read and understand the Holy Quran so that you may recognize all the manifestations of this sin, the committers of which are guaranteed the everlasting fire of Hell, and they shall never come out of there.

O Allah, help us and give us the wisdom and the courage to read and understand the Message that You, in Your Mercy, have revealed for our guidance. O Allah, the Knower of the seen and the unseen, please open our hearts to the Message of guidance from the Holy Quran. O Allah, guide us to the Siraat al Mustaqeem. O Allah, give us the wisdom to understand that You have not commanded that we invoke anybody else in our deen of Islam. O Allah, give us the courage to invite our brothers and sisters and the whole of mankind to this wonderful way of life, called Islam. O Allah, bestow us with patience, steadfastness and humility so that we can bear the harsh words and atrocities thrown on us by the ones who do not believe in your Message. O Allah, honor us with guidance from the Holy Quran in this world, and honor us with Your Mercy and Forgiveness in the Hereafter. You indeed, Alone, are the All Merciful, Most Forgiving, and the Owner of All Honor. Glory be to you, O Allah, the Creator and Sustainer of everything in the heavens and the earth, and everything in between. There is nothing like unto you, O Allah. Blessed be Your Name. Glorified and Far Exalted are You, from what these people associate with You. You are indeed One, Alone and Unique.

May Allah guide you and us all to the Siraat al-Mustaqeem

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,
