মাসিক আত-তাহরীক Are all the Muslims of the world Ahle hadeeth?
(هَلِ الْمُسْلِمُ كُلُّهُمْ أَهْلُ الْحَدِيْثِ؟)
No one can be a Muslim by denying or disobeying totally the Quran and Hadeeth. So, in a sense all Muslims of the world are Ahle hadeeth. But if carefully observed, then it will be noticed that the groups, Mazhabs and Tareeqahs among the Muslims have been created so far and are going on till today, all have been structured according to the personal thoughts of any person. In this way, for each Mazhab there have been written separate books of Fiqh. The followers of each Mazhab collect Fatwas from their own books of Fiqh and follow them, considering them as infallible rules of Shari‘ah. They do not have any time to verify whether there is any guidance for and against it in the Quran and saheeh Hadeeth. Rather in most cases, the blind faith works in their mind that there can be no instructions at all in the Quran and Hadeeth, which are against their respective Fiqh of their Mazhab & Tareeqah.
This was also better than never, if the condition did not go down so much. For whatever reason it may have been, some Ulama and Peer at present, give such unprecedented Fatwas, which have even no relation with the books of Fiqh of their own Mazhab, let alone the Quran and Hadeeth. As the Peer-worshiping, grave-worshiping, Meelad, Qiyam, Kulkhani, Chehlam, Haiyatun Nabi (ever-living of the Prophet), Allah has no physical shape, he is omnipresent etc. which are in faith & practice of our society, had neither been approved by Imam Abu Haneefah (Rh) nor by the best books of his Mazhab. But the simple minded people out of blind faith and to obey there Ulama consider these innovated rituals as the real functions of Islam. In this way, they become victims of Shirk and Bid‘at at the different occasion. The consequence of which is nothing but the Hell. Rather when any righteous fair-minded Alim presents before him a saheeh Hadeeth of the Prophet (sm) for his rectification, he becomes enraged with him and as the last weapon he brings the references of their ancestors or the past Imams and Peer-Aulias saying that, ‘Did they not know that?’ Though, he had no clear idea of those persons about their Taqwa (Allah-fearing), religiosity and their adherence to the Quran and Hadeeth. Nevertheless, that person does not think for a while, that the religion is totally dependent on Wahi of Ilah (revelations of Allah). There is no scope of a person or his personal opinion here.
Needless to say, that the above excuses were the main arguments of the superstitious bigots of all ages, which have been told to all the Prophets in the different ages. For opposing these blind superstitions, the established self-interested powers of the society had tortured the prophets unutterable, had thrown them alive into the blazing fire and compelled them to migrate from the country in peniless condition. Still today they are continuing their tortures on the devoted followers of the last Prophet (sm).
