JZ'S ARTICLE: CUT-MULLAH’S ARE BRAINWASHING, MISGUIDING MUSLIMS

CUT-MULLAH’S ARE BRAINWASHING,

             MISGUIDING MUSLIMS

BY JAVED ZAHEER, FREE EXPRESSION AWARD WINNER

                TORONTO: Allah’s Islam is very simple and Mullah’s Islam is very difficult.

        This was stated by Hazrat Allama Pir Syed Muhammad Husaini Ashraf, son of Sheikh-e-Tariqat Hazrat Allama Syed Muhammad Jilani Ashraf.

        He was speaking at the residence of Shahid Hashmi on September 10, 2017. Both were special guests. Selected distinguished guests were invited including Salma Zahid, MP, Dr Taqi Abedi, Sohail Rana, Dr Ali Naqvi,  Nazimuddin Nazim, Bashir Khan, Arshad Bhatti, Nasir Shah, Mohsin Masood, Muhammad Shaikh, Syed Muhammad Iqbal, Javed Malik and Masoodul Haq. Most  of them had very good and informative discussion with the Sheikhs, who too took keen interest in the literate people and their talks. Talks of the Sheikhs impressed the audience very much.

        Both the Sheikhs---father and son---spoke on sufism and how it is helping people understand and follow Allah’s Islam and protecting them from Mullah’s Islam.

        Both said that God showers great blessing on those who like and love children. They said that in the mosques children should not be pushed rudely to the back row.

        They said that children learn most from observation i.e. from what we do and not from what we keep saying and which they mostly ignore.

        What I have seen is that because of so-called Mullah’s wrong propagation of Islam, which is suited to their vested interests, people are being misguided and suffering.

        In the families people have been divided and keep fighting with each other on petty religious and social issues. They even hate each other. The so-called mullah’s and others take full advantage of this.

        As regards sufism, only few Muslims understand it. There are so many spiritual groups and schools of thought that Muslims as a result of brainwashing are totally confused. Ninety percent of them have become prey and slaves of the cut-mullahs.  

        Unfortunately, they are fast  drifting away from Allah, Quran and true Islam. It has become like a fish market. All of them run after one thing: Money in any shape. In the Muslim World over ninety persons of Muslims are poor and helpless while the cut-mullahs have become millionaires and billionaires.  

        This is how they are serving Islam. Look at the lifestyles of prophets, their companions, saints and pious person all of whom lived a very simple life. They never went after money but served humanity in reality. It is not difficult to recognize the good and bad religious and spiritual leaders. Those who seek the path of those who were blessed by God are the true believers and followers. This is what Surah Fateha (Chapter one) says. The others belong to  the group which suffered the wrath of God. 

        In this alarming and critical situation, Hazrat and his son’s efforts to teach and preach and create proper awareness and understanding of  true Islam and the divine message of God through proper education of religion and other subjects taught in colleges and universities are a great blessing of God.

        Since both the Sheikhs are highly educated and have a vision to serve and protect humanity, they are organising an educational conference in December, 2018, in Mumbai, India, where hundreds from all over the world are expected to participate.  

        Also since they are working on mega educational projects for which millions of dollars are required therefore they are asking people to contribute as much as possible and become a part of the projects.

        HASHMI FAMILY: Hazrat Allama Syed Muhammad Jilani Ashraf is a family friend of Shahid Hashmi and Seema Hashmi. Some years back when he visited Canada he stayed at the residence of Shahid Hashmi for few days.

        On the occasion on September 10, 2017, at the residence of Shahid Hashmi, Salma Zahid, Member of Parliament, made a presentation on behalf of the federal government to both the Sheikhs and their spouses.  She was impressed by the team work of the Hashmi family, which is a regular feature, in taking good care of the guests.

        Such gatherings bring people closer and know and understand each other. Shahid Hashmi is very fortunate that his family including Seema Hashmi, Sohabe Hashmi, Saman Hashmi, Savera Hashmi, Shakaib Hashmi and Sidra Hashmi help and support him wholeheartedly.

        Both the Sheikhs and most of the ladies highly appreciated serving of the food first to the ladies. They said that this practice of Shahid Hashmi and his family is in accordance with teaching of true Islam.

        After Maghrib prayers, Sheikh-e-Tariqat Hazrat Allama Syed Muhammad Jilani Ashraf in his touching address offered special prayers for the welfare and prosperity of the mankind and humanity. 

        After the prayer, Shahid Hashmi, Chairman, Canpak Chamber of Commerce, thanked both the Sheikhs and all the guests for attending, particularly those guests who came for few minutes but stayed till the end. He specially thanked Seema Hashmi for serving food to the ladies first and his family for always helping and working as a team.

        He said that no man can be successful without help and support of their spouses. He stated that he always tries to follow true Islam and remains straight forward in promoting and defending truth.

        Earlier, in his introductory address, Shahid Hashmi introduced both the Sheikhs to the audience and said that he is supporting their sincere efforts to promote education and true Islam.

        He said that they are holding an educational conference in December, 2018, in Mumbai, India,  and asked the  audience to attend it because it will help people understand and follow true Islam and how to serve humanity through education and teaching of all subjects.

        Two distinguished personalities, Sohail Rana, world renowned music maestro and legend, and Dr Taqi Abedi, world renowned literary figure, held detailed discussion with Sheikh-e-Tariqat Hazrat Allama Syed Muhammad Jilani Ashraf and his son Hazrat Allama Pir Syed Muhammad Husaini Ashraf. Dr Taqi Abedi invited them to his library where  there is collection of rare books.

        Both Sohail Rana and Taqi Abedi were impressed by the efforts of  both Sheikhs to promote education and true Islam. The Sheikhs invited them to attend the educational conference to be held in Mumbai in December, 2018. They accepted the invitation and assured their support.  

        Syed Muhammad Iqbal, President of Pak Seniors Forum, held fruitful discussion with Sheikh-e-Tariqat Hazrat Allama Syed Muhammad Jilani Ashraf. He told him that he was very close to the Sheikh in Karachi, Pakistan. He said that they were also doing great job in promoting education and used to send free their magazine to the hundreds of people on their list.

        Syed Muhammad Iqbal was greatly impressed by efforts of the Sheikhs in promoting education and true Islam. He thanked Shahid Hashmi for introducing the Sheikhs to him and all the guests. He said that the Hashmi family keeps holding such gatherings and introducing the special guests to the selected audience. He was impressed by this nature, character and contribution of the Hashmi family.
