Re: The best Lecture by Dr. Israr Ahmed - MUST SEE
dr israr spoke against this gentleman on many occasions. his name is g m pervez and is considered by many, including dr israr as one of the so called ahle quran sect who say that they do not believe in hadith and they only follow quran. he denies this and says he does believe in a select few hadith.
he was a freind of moulana moududi, but even moududi sahab distanced himself from him when mr pervez's veiws about hadith became more and more radical.
couldnt find the video of dr israr speaking against him on youtube at the moment. will post it as soon as i find it. however there is a wikipedia link about him

Dear Faisal Latif, I am very much aware of the fact that people say things about others but that is not the right way to judge the matter. One needs to listen to all sides in any dispute or disagreement and then come to conclusion for oneself.
May be you are not aware of people who distanced themselves from others including mawdoodi sahib. There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with people over certain things and agreeing with them over certain things so long as your position is evidence based.
I personally do not believe that all reports in all ahadith books that are attributed to the prophet are actually so. Likewise all mullahs and ulema choose and naqideen of Ahadith have pointed out many false ahadith in their books. Therefore if anyone says I do not accept such and such hadith authentic because of this or that and one is talking sense then we cannot condemn such a person. In fact we need to be grateful to such people who warn us from time to time about made up stories and make beliefs etc.
What we need to learn is that deen is given by Allah and it is complete in form of the quran as divine information. However, this does not means that any of us really has come to know deen as it is in the quran completely. This is why research and exploration of deen is a continuous and life long process.
One person comes and discovers one thing and another comes along and discovers another and so this continues.
Some time what we find is that what earlier people said about certain things in the quran does not make sense or does not work in real life and we go back to drawing board and start again and we keep doing that till we have managed to solved the problem.
The main problem is that we only have text of the quran to work on which is beyond question however the meanings of the text are only acceptable if they make sense otherwise we keep on trying to discover the meaning that really fit the text of the quran as well as the quran and the real world.
The main reason for this was the confusion created by various conspiracies against islam and quran from within and from outside.
We all know islam is a deen not a mazhab or a maslak. Now word deen means nizaam=dastoor=constitution=ruling system= a system that set out for people a way or set of rules and laws to live their life by or to judge their conduct of affairs by.
This means if islam is a deen then there cannot be any other system of ruling in islam eg imperialism. Now kings when they took over muslim ummah they removed deen out of their way by turning it in to mazhab. Mazhab means a system of beliefs or a set of beliefs or creed of dogmas and not a ruling system.
Once islam was turned from deen to mazhab, the road was opened for muslims kings to use and abuse their own people as well as others. The road blocks that were set by deen to stop human exploitation and abuse were removed. Thus islam was actually turned into same kufaria system of ruling that it came to oppose.
Seeing that imperialism could not be opposed openly or you lose your life as a traitor, secret movements were started to gain support for deen once more eg in form of tareeqat. Thus knowledge of islam was shared from person to person. However thius movement did not remain secret for long and when imperialists found out they penetrated the tareeqat movement and did with it what people do ie you try to find out what the movement exactly stands for, how it works and how it could be destroyed or derailed from it objectivity or goal etc.
Thus the peeri mureedi came to being wherein people are redirected from deen to mazhab without their knowing. Ritualism thus was adopted from other religions as islam eg if you have a headache then you read a verse or a surah of the quran so many times at certain times and Allah will heal.
Because one party always conspired against the other for power, islam became a totally confused thing. This is why today we have so many sects because muslims have been misled into many direction so that ruling elite is never challenged in the name of islam the deen. So long as islam remains a mazhab ruling for elite is secure. This is why ruling elite build masjids and place therein imaams who tell us what islam is and we follow that islam.
We are not allowed to question that islam or we are traitors.
All this becomes clear if one studies islam by reading the quran with care. One will see that verses of the quran that have been mistranslated and misinterpreted do not make sense because some verses are about deen which these people have tried to explain away as mazhab.
The quran is such a book that cannot be twisted or you end up with loads of contradictions both within and out side world realities ie then the quran contradicts self evident facts. This is why mullahs tell people not to question the quran because they have much to hide from us.
As for people condemning anyone that too is a straight forward thing. Since we have been brought up on diet of dogmas, we have been programed to be quick to condemn anyone we see contradicting what we believe islam to be.
This is why when new ideas are told about by anyone we think this is not islam because we think we know all we need to know about islam. Therefore we do not let anyone speak and so we are loosing ourselves to slavery of ruling elite by way of mullahs who work for them.
This is why if we want to come out of slavery then we must take islam as a deen and not as a mazhab.
Sir ahmed khan, alama iqbal, muhammad ali jinnah, g a parwez and many many more are those people who realised this fact and moved away from mullahism. Masses still need to be convinced about this fact.
The other point is islamic books as to when they came about and why or who wrote them for what purpose and when? This is very important to see whether these authors were imperialist mullahs or ulemai ummat. Because one people clearly served kings and rulers and the others clearly opposed and yet others were undecided or worked for both under their situations and circumstances.
It is for this reason quran must be understood on its own because it is pure in text and context whereas anything else including ahadith and tafaseer, sirate rasool or islamic history could be of doubtful origin but if we use the quran as the criterion then it is still possible to separate what is good from that what is bad.
This is another main reason that mullahs want us to understand the quran through unreliable sources so that we do not get the true picture of real islam as deen.
So anyone who stays close to quran and takes other information on basis of the quran is likely to be ok but anyone who listens to mullahs and scriptures is unlikely to survive intact.
This is why the quran clearly tells us do not follow anyone even your ancestors unless they are on the right path and that right path is the one identified clearly beyond a shadow of doubt in the books of Allah and in our case the quran.
Yet another conspiracy against the quran is taking out a couple of verses from the quran and using them as dogmatic creed and leaving the rest of the quran aside so that its real message becomes obsolete. This is how they invented khatam darood and sawaab ideology.
The actual fact is the quran is a letter of Allah to individuals as his message for them to understand and benefit from what it says. That is real concept of sawab.
More explanation may be later but main thing is that muslims must come to realise what mullahs are doing to them on directions of the ruling elite who fund them.
regards and all the best.
