A few weeks ago I was sitting at my Aunties house in Sneinton. It was about 8pm when there was knock on the door. I went to open it and saw that there were 5 people standing in a semi circle. The group consisted of 4 young ‘brothers’ with beards and jubbas, one of them had a black and white striped turban. The leader of the clan was a short dark skinned man, I think he was Bengali. The Leader said salam and I replied. He then informed me that they were going around knocking on doors inviting people to the mosque to Pray Salah. I asked which Mosque they were invited to and he replied “41”, I replied “sorry, I don't really attend that place and quite frankly I don't agree with a lot of things that you people believe in”
He looked worried and replied back “Come on brother, we are all muslims, we should unite and be one” I could not believe that of all people a 41 preacher had the audacity to talk about muslim unity, I was getting a bit heated up and said “you talk about Muslim unity yet you’re the ones that opened a mosque around the corner from an already established mosque? What unity are you talking about? You have split the muslim community in Sneinton yet now you are talking about unity? Ok lets for one second say that you are sincere about unity, then go and speak to the people of 41 and tell them 41 needs to be closed so the muslims of Sneinton and Bakersfeild unite under the banner of the mosque that was opened first?” He was put on the spot and for a minute I thought he would say ok just so he could get away from me but his reply was “you know that’s not going to happen” I replied “its not going to happen because then you people wont have a platform to brainwash innocent muslims and wont be able to spread your evil beliefs.Preacher: and what evil beliefs are they?
Me: the belief that Allah ta’ala can tell lies.
Preacher: By Allah brother we do not believe this.
Me: don’t lie please, I have met many of your followers who have this belief.
Preacher: I swear by Allah that is these brothers say it to me I will call them kafir.
Me: answer one question, what do you and your people say about Rashid Gangohi?
Rashid Gangohi was an influential member and is one of the main sources of knowledge for Deobandi followers.
Preacher: Shaykh Gangohi was a true scholar and I love and admire him deeply.
Me: Well then you will be saddened to know that this person that you love and admire was the one that introduced this horrible view that Allah ta’ala can tell lies.
Preacher: La howla Wala Quwata – this is not true. Do not make up such things.
Me: don’t try to act all innocent infront of these new recruits. Here is the reference – Fatawa Rashidiya volume 1page 19, they will have it at 41 go and check for yourself.
Upon this the preacher turned to his new recruits and said “do not listen to him he is misguided and brainwashed, and started to walk away.
Me: Thats your answer to everything, why don’t you just go and check it out I will wait with these brothers here. How could I have made it up myself when I have given you the reference for the book that your great scholar wrote this belief in?
Preacher: JazakAllah brother I am not a debator, thank you for your time, we will be going now.
Me: No brother don’t go yet, I have another question; why do you people disrespect the Prophet peace be upon him?
Preacher: Thank you brother we must go now, you are extremely misguided and we do not want to argue.
Me: The fact is you are extremely misguided and you cannot take the fact that people know your real beliefs, tell me how can you call me misguided when it your people believe and I quote “It is better to think of a donkey in namaz than to think of the Prophet in Namaz (prayer) and it is written in this book taqwiyatul imaan, by another scholar your people love and respect?
Preacher: ok ok brother this is not the time for a debate you go your way and we will go our way.
Me: brother before you go I just want to let you know how I feel about you. I think that you people are the real enemies of Islam, you call people to your talks under the disguise of unity etc yet the reality is you call them to your places so you can slowly fill their minds with your poison. The fact that you have not been able to deny that your people and your scholars hold these disgusting beliefs tells me that you do not really care about the Muslims and are only worried about getting as many innocent sunni muslims into your belief system as possible.
Preacher: salam.
