মাসিক আত-তাহরীক Why is Ahle hadeeth movement?
(حَرَكَةُ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيْثِ لِمَا هِيَ؟)
The transparent rays of Islam were overcast with the dark cloud of un-Islamic thought at the ages. Sometimes, that ray has brought peace and welfare to the mankind freely without any hindrance. Sometimes, like the covered sun with cloud by the deep dark of Jaheliat (ignorance) that ray has been hampered to bring out its own light with full glory before the people. The hungry humanity has always longed eagerly to gain it. But it is a great misfortune for us. We the people who took the responsibility of serving it properly to the humanity and earned praise from Allah as the best Ummah as to be ‘Muslim’ and established our highest dignity throughout the world, have betrayed with Islam mostly than all. We have contaminated the clear water of Islam. We have changed its original form by making it up according to our liking. As a result we have lost it after we got it and thus have failed to provide it to others.
To speak the truth, from the very early age of Islam, there has been conducted attack from inside and outside against Islam. Evil efforts have been put to preach and spread many non-Islamic thoughts and foreign creeds and customs clad in Islamic dress. Many muslim have also been misguided by it. It made us recall to the fact that during the holy age of the Prophet (sm), the deceitful conduct of the hypocrites and in the golden age of the honoured Sahabis with the increase of their evil designs the emergence of Shiriki Aqeedah and Bid‘ati Amal imported by the new muslims in different areas of the land.
To ensure their separate characteristics from those of the Bid‘ati groups, the honoured Sahabis, the devout followers of unadulterated pure Islam and other righteous Muslims had done acquainted themselves as Ahle hadeeth. They laid down their lives for keeping the Muslim society free from all sorts of non-Islamic philosophy and culture. Under their leadership, various reform movements were conducted. They had devoted their entire efforts to keep the Muslim millat firmly on the basis of Kitab and Sunnah. To speak the truth, for their selfless efforts and movements, Islam as yet could not be totally perverted. Tawheed and Sunnah are still alive with vigour in their home. If Allah wishes (Insha Allah) it will continue till the Day of Resurrection.
