A CALL FOR JUSTICE
(CHAPTER 3)
NOW IT IS UP TO YOU TO DECIDE:
Now the third root cause of our differences with the scholars of Deoband is also before you. You have now to decide 3 things, with justice.
Firstly, do you agree with the above mentioned verdicts issued by the Deobandi scholars, or not.
Secondly, are these verdicts contrary to the lawful traditions and customs practised in the Muslim world, or not.
And thirdly, is the religious and social system of our Muslim society harmed by these verdicts or not.
If yes, and surely yes, then according to these verdicts, is the entire Muslim society involved in forbidden acts from dawn to dusk ?? And if so, where does our Islamic society stand ??
This is the stage where you have to draw a line between the scholars of Deoband and that of Bareilly - and you must arrive at the conclusion that all the efforts of the Deobandi scholars were directed at proving that the entire Muslim society, each and every member of it, was a sinner - whereas the efforts of the Ahle Sunnah Bareillvi scholars was to prove that unless an act is explicitly forbidden by Allah or the Holy Prophet (PBUH), then no one has the right to forbid it. Terming the ethical and religious customs upon which the Muslim society is built, as forbidden (Haram) is a clear deviation from proven facts and an open enmity with the Muslims.
