The title SALAFI is applied to those who worship a Planetary human-like-Idol ( المعبود الكواكب مثل الإنسان ) and call it Allah (Astaghfiruallah).
There are hundreds of Salafi Groups in the world. Followers of all these Groups claim that they are Muslims. However, we fail to understand their claim because every Salafi Group calls itself as 'victorious group' (at-Ta'ifat-ul-Mansurah) and 'the saved group' (al-Firqat-un-Najiyah) and accuses the other Salafi Group as apostate (Kafir). It is a very strange situation with these Groups.
Salafis remained Sky Idol worshipers throughout the history and never joined the mainstream Islam. In their zeal to establish legitimacy to their Sky Idol God, they revolted many a times and took up arms against Muslim rulers all along the history of Islam. Most glaring example of their revolt and massacre of Muslims was witnessed at the start of 19th Century whey they captured Arabian Peninsula and occupied the noble sanctuaries of Makka and Madina. To legitimize their mass Muslims killings, they imposed Quranic verses and Ahadith (which were meant for Pagan Mushrikeen-e-Makka) on Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) and Awliya Allah and declared it lawful to kill Muslims en masse and usurp their houses, lands and women in Arabian Peninsula. They did not spare even the dead Sahabah, family members of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), and important dignitaries of Islam as they have destroyed over 60,000 graves of Sahabah, family members of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and important dignitaries of Islam. No one knows what they did with the pious bodies of male and female Sahabah. In one instance it is recorded that the pious grave of the mother of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) was dug and gasoline was poured and the pious body was burnt by Wahhabi unruly mobs.
Human history has seen many massacres and atrocities on living people, but no one has witnessed atrocities committed on dead, as was carried out by fanatic followers of Ibn Abd al-Wahhab. They destroyed the entire geography of Seeratun Nabi (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and entire heritage of Islam. They humiliated Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) by destroying his house in Makka where he lived 28 years with his family. Later, they built a Public Toilet on his house where millions of innocent Muslims are made to shit, urinate and spit 24 x 7. They are planning to destroy the Green Dome of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and remove his pious grave from the Grand Mosque in Madina. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.
People should not think that all these criminal atrocities on Islam and Muslims will go unpunished. Those who committed these unpardonable crimes, are burning in their graves and those who support it, will also burn in their graves after their deaths. There cannot be two opinions in this context.
Makkan Pagans, the Salafi ancestors, worshiped a Sky Idol God along with other Idols at the time of Advent of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم). During the time of Khulfa-e-Rashidoon (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) and beyond, these pagans were known as Munafiqoon and Khawaarij. Later, they changed their identity as Salafis.
Abu Mansur al-Baghdadi said in his book 'al-Farq Bayn al-Firaq, page 11, as follows:
QUOTE - The Kharijis (Salafis) are considered legally outside Muslim Umma; therefore, they should not be prayed upon (Salatul Janaza) after death, nor does any Muslim pray behind them. Their dhabiha is haram, not halal, their marriage with a Sunni woman is invalid and a Sunni man is forbidden from marrying one of their women if she adheres to their beliefs (worship of Sky Idol God and disrespect of Prophet - صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم). UNQUOTE.
It is in Quran - وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَىٰ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُم مَّاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَىٰ قَبْرِهِ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَمَاتُوا وَهُمْ فَاسِقُون [Meaning - 'And never, (O' Prophet - صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) pray (funeral prayer) for anyone of them that dies, nor stand at his Grave. Certainly they disbelieved in Allah ( سبحانہ و تعا لی ) and His Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and died in a state of rebellion'. (at-Tauba -84).
Ibn al-Arabi al-Maliki said that the correct position is : the Kharijis ( Salafis) are disbelievers on the basis of the Hadiths of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم): "They shall leave the Religion" and "I would kill them (if I met them) like the people of Aad,"
It is in Hadith - ‘A person with eyes protruding, with a long beard and head clean-shaven (named Zul-Khawaisara who was from the tribe of Banu Tamim) came to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and declared: 'O Muhammad! (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) fear Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی). ' The Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) replied: ‘If I disobey Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی) then who else will obey Him? I am obedient to Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی) at all times and never disobedient. Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی) has sent me as Amin (Honest for the entire world, but you don't accept me as an honest? A Sahabi (Hadhrat Umer - رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ ) became infuriated and sought permission to remove him from the presence of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم). The Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) prevented him from doing so. After the person had left, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) said: ‘From his progeny (descendants) will rise a Group who will recite the Holy Quran but it will not go below their throats. They will leave the Deen (Islam) just as an arrow leaves the bowstring. They will kill Muslims but spare the idolaters. If I ever confronted these people I would slaughter them just as the people of Aad had been destroyed'. (Mishkat, pp - 535).
Taqi al-Din al-Subki said in his Fatawa: "It has been argued that the Khawarij (Salafis) are disbelievers because of their (Idol worship, and) takfir of the eminent Companions, since such an act entails disbelief of the Prophet's (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) testimony that they are bound for Paradise, and I consider this position as sound."
The practice of declaring true Muslims as apostate and revolting against the central Muslim authority - the Caliphate - is the hallmark of the Khawarij and their modern counter part Salafis. They destroyed Muslim Caliphate by joining hands with Britain and killed hundreds of thousands of Muslims at the turn of 19th Century. Since the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1924, the major manifestation of Kharijism, in the guise of Salafism, is to declare all true Muslims as apostates.
It is in Hadith - وكان ابن عمر يراهم شرار خلق الله وقال إنهم انطلقوا إلى آيات نزلت في الكفار فجعلوها على المؤمنين - Ibn Umar (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) considered the Khawarij and the heretics (Salafis and their like minded groups) as the worst beings in creation (meaning worst than Satan and his subordinate Shayateen), and he said : 'They went to verses which were revealed about the disbelievers (the pagans of Makka) and applied them to the Believers (Prophets, Sahabah, Awliya Allah and Muslims). (Bukhari - Chapter Khawarijeen).

Some of the above groups like Ibadis, Deobandis, Tabhlighees, Maududis, Islahis etc., try to maintain their independent identity, even though their beliefs are heavily influenced by Wahhabi/Salafi teachings.
It is in Hadith - Reported by Hadhrat Abu Naim (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) in his book titled 'Huliya'. Hazrat Abu Umana Bahili (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) narrates that Prophet ( صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ) said ‘Before Qiyamah, they ( the misguided sects and their sub groups) will spread and attack bitterly like the small and large insects and whosoever witnesses this period must seek refuge in Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی) (Huliya).
The above Hadith clearly states that, among the misguided groups like Salafis and their like minded, some will be very large and some will be small and they will attack the Iman (Aqeedah) of Muslims from all over the world. It is very difficult to sustain their poisonous bites (Da'wa). We seek Allah's (سبحانہ و تعا لی) refuge from their misleading Da'wa.
It is in Hadith - Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ): Allah's Apostle ( صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ) said, "A time will come that the best property of a Muslim will be sheep which he will take on the top of mountains and the places of rainfall (valleys) so as to flee with his religion (Islamic Faith) from afflictions." (Bukhari - Book #2, Hadith #18)
The above Hadith indeed signifies our time when it is extremely difficult for Muslims to protect their Sahih Iman from the Da'wa campaigns of misguided Salafis and their like minded groups.
Using of Quranic verses meant for Pagans (Mushrikeen-e-Makka) on Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) and Awliya Allah was started by Munafiqoon during the time of Khulfa-e-Rashideen. Later it was continued by Kharijis and Salafis. The following scholars are prominent who gave rise to this outrageous practice.
Using of Quranic verses meant for Pagans (Mushrikeen-e-Makka) on Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) and Awliya Allah was started by Munafiqoon during the time of Khulfa-e-Rashideen. Later it was continued by Kharijis and Salafis. The following scholars are prominent who gave rise to this outrageous practice.
(i) Ibn Khuzaimah (933-846), (ii) Ibn Taymiyyah (1263-1228) , (iii) Ibn al-Qayyim (1292–1350), (iv) Al-Mizzi (1256–1341), (v) Ibn Kathir (1301–1372), (vi) ad-Dhahabi (1274–1348), (vii) al-Birzali (1267–1339), (viii) Ibn Abd-al-Wahhab (1703–1792), (ix) Hasan Al-Banna (1906-1949), (x) Shah Ismail Dehlvi (1776-1829), (xi) Rashid Ahmad Gangohi (1829-1905), (xii) Muhammad Qasim Nanotvi (1832-1880), (xiii) Ashraf Ali Thanvi (1863-1943) (xiv) Mohammad Ilyas (1885-1944), (xv) Abul Ala Maududi (1903-1979), (xvi) Abd al Aziz Ibn Baz (1910-1999), (xvii) Muhammad Uthaymeen At-Tamimi (1925-2001), (xviii) Nasiruddin Al-Baani (1914-1999), (xix) Israr Ahmad (1932-2010), (xx) Abd al-Aziz as-Sudais (born 1960), (xxi) Taqi Usmani (born 1943), (xxii) Zakir Naik (born 1965), (xxiii) Tariq Jamil (born 1953), etc.
Salafis claim that Quran is the word of their Sky Idol God (La Haula wal Quwwata Illah Billah). They also claim that their Sky Idol has sent all Prophets (Astaghrifuallah).
Salafi Idol worshipers have attempted to kidnap Islam and hold it at ransom using their oil wealth and power. They wrongly quote Quranic verses and Ahadith to establish the legitimacy and existence of their Sky Idol God. They claim that their Sky Idol is the real God of all creatures. They also call it Allah (La haula wala quwwata illah billah) to confuse innocent Muslims. They often quote the following Quranic verse to establish the authenticity of their pagan worship. They insist that their sky god should be addressed as 'Allah' (Astaghfiruallah).
. قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ . اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ . لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ . وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ
(Meaning - Say, He is the God (Salafis mean it their Idol God), the one and only. God, the eternal. He begets not, nor is he begotten. And there is none like him. (Ikhlas 1-4). They copy paste this Surah to describe their Sky Idol. Read the following important Article for details.
They accept and honor most of the Salafi scholars mentioned above.
Aggressiveness, intolerance and militancy are part of their culture. However, these characteristics are more prominent in some groups than others.
They are united in the disrespect of Prophet of Islam (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), his family members, Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) and Awliya Allah. As a matter of fact every Group tries to outdo others in this respect.
They claim that Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), his family members, Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) and Awliya Allah are dead in the same way as Mushrikeen-e-Makka and other Idol worshipers ( استغفر اللہ). Visiting their graves is just like visiting of Hindu Idols or Hindu graveyards. (استغفر اللہ). Therefore, whoever visits the sacred graves of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), his family members, Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) and Awliya Allah for tabarruk is declared as 'Grave Worshiper' and Kafir (استغفر اللہ).
They overwhelmingly support each other in destroying the graves of family members of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), his Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) and Awliya Allah because, they claim that these graves are places of dirt and apostasy ( استغفر اللہ).
For them, anything or any relic related to Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), his family and his Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) is extremely dirty and a source of shirk which should not be touched or kissed, rather thrown into Municipality bins ( استغفر اللہ).
It is in Quran - وَقَالَ لَهُمْ نَبِيُّهُمْ إِنَّ آيَةَ مُلْكِهِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ التَّابُوتُ فِيهِ سَكِينَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَبَقِيَّةٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ آلُ مُوسَىٰ وَآلُ هَارُونَ تَحْمِلُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ [ Meaning - And (further) their Prophet (علیھ السلا م ) said to them: "A Sign of his authority is that there shall come to you the Ark of the covenant, with (an assurance) therein of security from your Lord, and the relics left by the family of Moses (علیھ السلا م ) and the family of Aaron (علیھ السلا م ), carried by angels. In this is a symbol for you if you indeed have faith."] (Al-Baqara - 248).
The above Quranic verse is related to Bani Israel (Jews). One of their Prophet ( علیھ السلا م ) told them that Angels will carry relics of Musa ( علیھ السلا م ) and Haroon ( علیھ السلا م ). Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی) describes that these relics are sacred and important for people and a sign of security for them. The verse emphasizes that reverence and veneration of these relics is part of Faith.
Ad Dhahbi a famous Salafi Scholar reported that Abd Allah ibn Ahmad (the son of Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal) said: "I saw my father take a hair that belonged to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), put it on his mouth, and kiss it. I believe I saw him put it on his eyes. He also dipped it in water and drank the water to obtain cure. I saw him take the Prophet's (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) bowl (qas'a), wash it in water, and drink from it. I saw him drink Zamzam water in order to seek cure with it, and he wiped his hands and face with it." It is also authentically established that 'Abd Allah asked is father about those who touch the pommel of the Prophet's (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) pulpit and touch the wall of the Prophet's (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) room, and he said: "I do not see any harm in it." May Allah protect us and you from the opinion of the Khawarij (Salafis, Deobandis and their like minded groups) and from innovations! (Ad-Dhahabi, Siyar A'lam al-Nubala' (9:457). Chapter on Imam Ahmad, section entitled Min Adabih).
Wahhabis / Salafis and their like minded groups, say that the relics of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) are a source of Shirk and preserving them or kissing them out of reverence is also shirk. They even destroyed Prophet Mohammad's (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) house in Makka where he lived 28 years with his family. One of the rooms in this house was used by Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) for Salah and Zikr in the nights, where Jibreel ( علیھ السلا م ) used to visit and sit often. To add more insult to the humiliation, they built a Public Toilet on it.
Salafis living in Saudi Arabia ( about 300 millions) and Muslims from all over the world who come for Umra and Hajj and Ziyara (about 100 millions) are made to shit, urinate and spit 24 x 7 on the sacred place where Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) used to pray.
All above mentioned Salafi groups, including Deobandis, Tablighis, support these actions. We fail to understand what kind of people they are and what kind of Islam they follow? They are totally fearless from Hell Fire.
Muslims from all over the world should know, what will happen to them (in Hereafter) if they shit, urinate and spit at the place where Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) lived and did Salah and Zikr and where Jibreel (علیھ السلا م ) used to sit along with the other dignitaries, like Khulfa-e-Rashideen and other Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ).
It is in Hadith - Narrated Abu Burda (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ): When I came to Madina, I met Abdullah bin Salam (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) . He said, "Will you come to me so that I may serve you with Sawiq (powdered barley) and dates, and let you enter a (blessed) house in which the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) entered?"… (Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 58, Number 159)
The above Hadith shows the sacredness and importance of a house which was visited by Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and how much Sahabah used to respect such things. Now look at these Salafis who destroyed the house of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) in Makka where he lived 28 years, where he prayed, where Jibreel ( علیھ السلا م ) used to sit along with other dignitaries. The Prophet's (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) house was so evil and bad for them that they humiliated the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) by converting it into a public toilet where millions of people are made to shit, urinate and spit, 24 hours of the day, 365 days of the year.
It is in Hadith - Related with Abdullah bin ‘Umar (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) that he wiped his face at the place where Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) sat. (at-Tabqat al-Kubra ibn Sa’d, 1:254).
Imagine how serious issue is this, as you are insulting and humiliating Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), his family members, Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) and Jibreel ( علیھ السلا م ) in the most wicked manner. Will your Umra and Hajj be accepted by Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی)? Will your Iman be accepted by Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی) on the Day of Judgment? Think about it.
They cooperate with each other in altering Ahadith books, original Islamic literature, meanings of the holy Quran and entire Islamic heritage.
They proudly say that Al-Bani has removed over 5000 Ahadith from the authentic Ahadith books like Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi, Nasai, Abu Dawood, Ibn Maaja, Ahmad, Muatta and others because these were against their Sky God Aqeedah. They consider all Imams of Ahadith, including Bukhari & Muslim as un-trustworthy, because, as per their claim, all Imams of Ahadith wrote concocted (Maudu) and weak Ahadith in their books. They accept only those Ahadith that have been approved (read altered) by Al-Baani.
(a) They accept Ibn Taymiyyah and other Salafi scholars as authentic scholar of Islam and always refer their statements, Fatawas and books in their articles and speeches.
(b) They all claim their Sky God is physically sitting on the skies.
(c) They all do not celebrate Milad-un-Nabi ( صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ) and oppose Ahle Sunnah wal Jama'a in their practices of visiting of Muslim graves and many other issues.
(d) Their united stand is that the Green Dome of Prophet Mohammad ( صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ) should be destroyed and three graves should be flattened to earth and removed from the Grand mosque
.(e) They support Saudis' action of converting Prophet Mohammad ( صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ) house in Makka into a Public Toilet for use by millions of people, 24 hours of the day.(f) They support removal of authentic Ahadith from Ahadith books of Imam Bukhari, Muslim and others. They consider Al-Bani, who has changed the entire Hadith literature of Islam, as great Islamic Scholar.
(g) They accept the translation of Quran titled "Noble Quran" done by Salafis as authentic.
(h) There are some differences of opinion among them, therefore, sometimes they differ with each other on some fiqh issues. But overall, their basic faith is heavily influenced by Salafi beliefs.
(i) Tabhlighees, Deobandies, Jamat-e-Islami and the like minded groups race with each other to humiliate the Prophet ( صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ). Their Akabir Ulema are notoriously famous in insulting the Prophet of Islam ( صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ).
TO BE CONTINUED WITH 2ND PART
There are hundreds of Salafi Groups in the world. Followers of all these Groups claim that they are Muslims. However, we fail to understand their claim because every Salafi Group calls itself as 'victorious group' (at-Ta'ifat-ul-Mansurah) and 'the saved group' (al-Firqat-un-Najiyah) and accuses the other Salafi Group as apostate (Kafir). It is a very strange situation with these Groups.
Salafis remained Sky Idol worshipers throughout the history and never joined the mainstream Islam. In their zeal to establish legitimacy to their Sky Idol God, they revolted many a times and took up arms against Muslim rulers all along the history of Islam. Most glaring example of their revolt and massacre of Muslims was witnessed at the start of 19th Century whey they captured Arabian Peninsula and occupied the noble sanctuaries of Makka and Madina. To legitimize their mass Muslims killings, they imposed Quranic verses and Ahadith (which were meant for Pagan Mushrikeen-e-Makka) on Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) and Awliya Allah and declared it lawful to kill Muslims en masse and usurp their houses, lands and women in Arabian Peninsula. They did not spare even the dead Sahabah, family members of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), and important dignitaries of Islam as they have destroyed over 60,000 graves of Sahabah, family members of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and important dignitaries of Islam. No one knows what they did with the pious bodies of male and female Sahabah. In one instance it is recorded that the pious grave of the mother of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) was dug and gasoline was poured and the pious body was burnt by Wahhabi unruly mobs.
Human history has seen many massacres and atrocities on living people, but no one has witnessed atrocities committed on dead, as was carried out by fanatic followers of Ibn Abd al-Wahhab. They destroyed the entire geography of Seeratun Nabi (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and entire heritage of Islam. They humiliated Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) by destroying his house in Makka where he lived 28 years with his family. Later, they built a Public Toilet on his house where millions of innocent Muslims are made to shit, urinate and spit 24 x 7. They are planning to destroy the Green Dome of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and remove his pious grave from the Grand Mosque in Madina. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.
People should not think that all these criminal atrocities on Islam and Muslims will go unpunished. Those who committed these unpardonable crimes, are burning in their graves and those who support it, will also burn in their graves after their deaths. There cannot be two opinions in this context.
Makkan Pagans, the Salafi ancestors, worshiped a Sky Idol God along with other Idols at the time of Advent of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم). During the time of Khulfa-e-Rashidoon (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) and beyond, these pagans were known as Munafiqoon and Khawaarij. Later, they changed their identity as Salafis.
Abu Mansur al-Baghdadi said in his book 'al-Farq Bayn al-Firaq, page 11, as follows:
QUOTE - The Kharijis (Salafis) are considered legally outside Muslim Umma; therefore, they should not be prayed upon (Salatul Janaza) after death, nor does any Muslim pray behind them. Their dhabiha is haram, not halal, their marriage with a Sunni woman is invalid and a Sunni man is forbidden from marrying one of their women if she adheres to their beliefs (worship of Sky Idol God and disrespect of Prophet - صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم). UNQUOTE.
It is in Quran - وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَىٰ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُم مَّاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَىٰ قَبْرِهِ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَمَاتُوا وَهُمْ فَاسِقُون [Meaning - 'And never, (O' Prophet - صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) pray (funeral prayer) for anyone of them that dies, nor stand at his Grave. Certainly they disbelieved in Allah ( سبحانہ و تعا لی ) and His Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and died in a state of rebellion'. (at-Tauba -84).
Ibn al-Arabi al-Maliki said that the correct position is : the Kharijis ( Salafis) are disbelievers on the basis of the Hadiths of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم): "They shall leave the Religion" and "I would kill them (if I met them) like the people of Aad,"
It is in Hadith - ‘A person with eyes protruding, with a long beard and head clean-shaven (named Zul-Khawaisara who was from the tribe of Banu Tamim) came to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and declared: 'O Muhammad! (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) fear Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی). ' The Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) replied: ‘If I disobey Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی) then who else will obey Him? I am obedient to Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی) at all times and never disobedient. Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی) has sent me as Amin (Honest for the entire world, but you don't accept me as an honest? A Sahabi (Hadhrat Umer - رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ ) became infuriated and sought permission to remove him from the presence of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم). The Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) prevented him from doing so. After the person had left, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) said: ‘From his progeny (descendants) will rise a Group who will recite the Holy Quran but it will not go below their throats. They will leave the Deen (Islam) just as an arrow leaves the bowstring. They will kill Muslims but spare the idolaters. If I ever confronted these people I would slaughter them just as the people of Aad had been destroyed'. (Mishkat, pp - 535).
Taqi al-Din al-Subki said in his Fatawa: "It has been argued that the Khawarij (Salafis) are disbelievers because of their (Idol worship, and) takfir of the eminent Companions, since such an act entails disbelief of the Prophet's (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) testimony that they are bound for Paradise, and I consider this position as sound."
The practice of declaring true Muslims as apostate and revolting against the central Muslim authority - the Caliphate - is the hallmark of the Khawarij and their modern counter part Salafis. They destroyed Muslim Caliphate by joining hands with Britain and killed hundreds of thousands of Muslims at the turn of 19th Century. Since the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1924, the major manifestation of Kharijism, in the guise of Salafism, is to declare all true Muslims as apostates.
It is in Hadith - وكان ابن عمر يراهم شرار خلق الله وقال إنهم انطلقوا إلى آيات نزلت في الكفار فجعلوها على المؤمنين - Ibn Umar (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) considered the Khawarij and the heretics (Salafis and their like minded groups) as the worst beings in creation (meaning worst than Satan and his subordinate Shayateen), and he said : 'They went to verses which were revealed about the disbelievers (the pagans of Makka) and applied them to the Believers (Prophets, Sahabah, Awliya Allah and Muslims). (Bukhari - Chapter Khawarijeen).

Some of the above groups like Ibadis, Deobandis, Tabhlighees, Maududis, Islahis etc., try to maintain their independent identity, even though their beliefs are heavily influenced by Wahhabi/Salafi teachings.
It is in Hadith - Reported by Hadhrat Abu Naim (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) in his book titled 'Huliya'. Hazrat Abu Umana Bahili (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) narrates that Prophet ( صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ) said ‘Before Qiyamah, they ( the misguided sects and their sub groups) will spread and attack bitterly like the small and large insects and whosoever witnesses this period must seek refuge in Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی) (Huliya).
The above Hadith clearly states that, among the misguided groups like Salafis and their like minded, some will be very large and some will be small and they will attack the Iman (Aqeedah) of Muslims from all over the world. It is very difficult to sustain their poisonous bites (Da'wa). We seek Allah's (سبحانہ و تعا لی) refuge from their misleading Da'wa.
It is in Hadith - Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ): Allah's Apostle ( صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ) said, "A time will come that the best property of a Muslim will be sheep which he will take on the top of mountains and the places of rainfall (valleys) so as to flee with his religion (Islamic Faith) from afflictions." (Bukhari - Book #2, Hadith #18)
The above Hadith indeed signifies our time when it is extremely difficult for Muslims to protect their Sahih Iman from the Da'wa campaigns of misguided Salafis and their like minded groups.
Using of Quranic verses meant for Pagans (Mushrikeen-e-Makka) on Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) and Awliya Allah was started by Munafiqoon during the time of Khulfa-e-Rashideen. Later it was continued by Kharijis and Salafis. The following scholars are prominent who gave rise to this outrageous practice.
Using of Quranic verses meant for Pagans (Mushrikeen-e-Makka) on Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) and Awliya Allah was started by Munafiqoon during the time of Khulfa-e-Rashideen. Later it was continued by Kharijis and Salafis. The following scholars are prominent who gave rise to this outrageous practice.
(i) Ibn Khuzaimah (933-846), (ii) Ibn Taymiyyah (1263-1228) , (iii) Ibn al-Qayyim (1292–1350), (iv) Al-Mizzi (1256–1341), (v) Ibn Kathir (1301–1372), (vi) ad-Dhahabi (1274–1348), (vii) al-Birzali (1267–1339), (viii) Ibn Abd-al-Wahhab (1703–1792), (ix) Hasan Al-Banna (1906-1949), (x) Shah Ismail Dehlvi (1776-1829), (xi) Rashid Ahmad Gangohi (1829-1905), (xii) Muhammad Qasim Nanotvi (1832-1880), (xiii) Ashraf Ali Thanvi (1863-1943) (xiv) Mohammad Ilyas (1885-1944), (xv) Abul Ala Maududi (1903-1979), (xvi) Abd al Aziz Ibn Baz (1910-1999), (xvii) Muhammad Uthaymeen At-Tamimi (1925-2001), (xviii) Nasiruddin Al-Baani (1914-1999), (xix) Israr Ahmad (1932-2010), (xx) Abd al-Aziz as-Sudais (born 1960), (xxi) Taqi Usmani (born 1943), (xxii) Zakir Naik (born 1965), (xxiii) Tariq Jamil (born 1953), etc.
Salafis claim that Quran is the word of their Sky Idol God (La Haula wal Quwwata Illah Billah). They also claim that their Sky Idol has sent all Prophets (Astaghrifuallah).
Salafi Idol worshipers have attempted to kidnap Islam and hold it at ransom using their oil wealth and power. They wrongly quote Quranic verses and Ahadith to establish the legitimacy and existence of their Sky Idol God. They claim that their Sky Idol is the real God of all creatures. They also call it Allah (La haula wala quwwata illah billah) to confuse innocent Muslims. They often quote the following Quranic verse to establish the authenticity of their pagan worship. They insist that their sky god should be addressed as 'Allah' (Astaghfiruallah).
. قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ . اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ . لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ . وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ
(Meaning - Say, He is the God (Salafis mean it their Idol God), the one and only. God, the eternal. He begets not, nor is he begotten. And there is none like him. (Ikhlas 1-4). They copy paste this Surah to describe their Sky Idol. Read the following important Article for details.
They accept and honor most of the Salafi scholars mentioned above.
Aggressiveness, intolerance and militancy are part of their culture. However, these characteristics are more prominent in some groups than others.
They are united in the disrespect of Prophet of Islam (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), his family members, Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) and Awliya Allah. As a matter of fact every Group tries to outdo others in this respect.
They claim that Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), his family members, Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) and Awliya Allah are dead in the same way as Mushrikeen-e-Makka and other Idol worshipers ( استغفر اللہ). Visiting their graves is just like visiting of Hindu Idols or Hindu graveyards. (استغفر اللہ). Therefore, whoever visits the sacred graves of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), his family members, Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) and Awliya Allah for tabarruk is declared as 'Grave Worshiper' and Kafir (استغفر اللہ).
They overwhelmingly support each other in destroying the graves of family members of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), his Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) and Awliya Allah because, they claim that these graves are places of dirt and apostasy ( استغفر اللہ).
For them, anything or any relic related to Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), his family and his Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) is extremely dirty and a source of shirk which should not be touched or kissed, rather thrown into Municipality bins ( استغفر اللہ).
It is in Quran - وَقَالَ لَهُمْ نَبِيُّهُمْ إِنَّ آيَةَ مُلْكِهِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ التَّابُوتُ فِيهِ سَكِينَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَبَقِيَّةٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ آلُ مُوسَىٰ وَآلُ هَارُونَ تَحْمِلُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ [ Meaning - And (further) their Prophet (علیھ السلا م ) said to them: "A Sign of his authority is that there shall come to you the Ark of the covenant, with (an assurance) therein of security from your Lord, and the relics left by the family of Moses (علیھ السلا م ) and the family of Aaron (علیھ السلا م ), carried by angels. In this is a symbol for you if you indeed have faith."] (Al-Baqara - 248).
The above Quranic verse is related to Bani Israel (Jews). One of their Prophet ( علیھ السلا م ) told them that Angels will carry relics of Musa ( علیھ السلا م ) and Haroon ( علیھ السلا م ). Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی) describes that these relics are sacred and important for people and a sign of security for them. The verse emphasizes that reverence and veneration of these relics is part of Faith.
Ad Dhahbi a famous Salafi Scholar reported that Abd Allah ibn Ahmad (the son of Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal) said: "I saw my father take a hair that belonged to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), put it on his mouth, and kiss it. I believe I saw him put it on his eyes. He also dipped it in water and drank the water to obtain cure. I saw him take the Prophet's (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) bowl (qas'a), wash it in water, and drink from it. I saw him drink Zamzam water in order to seek cure with it, and he wiped his hands and face with it." It is also authentically established that 'Abd Allah asked is father about those who touch the pommel of the Prophet's (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) pulpit and touch the wall of the Prophet's (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) room, and he said: "I do not see any harm in it." May Allah protect us and you from the opinion of the Khawarij (Salafis, Deobandis and their like minded groups) and from innovations! (Ad-Dhahabi, Siyar A'lam al-Nubala' (9:457). Chapter on Imam Ahmad, section entitled Min Adabih).
Wahhabis / Salafis and their like minded groups, say that the relics of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) are a source of Shirk and preserving them or kissing them out of reverence is also shirk. They even destroyed Prophet Mohammad's (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) house in Makka where he lived 28 years with his family. One of the rooms in this house was used by Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) for Salah and Zikr in the nights, where Jibreel ( علیھ السلا م ) used to visit and sit often. To add more insult to the humiliation, they built a Public Toilet on it.
Salafis living in Saudi Arabia ( about 300 millions) and Muslims from all over the world who come for Umra and Hajj and Ziyara (about 100 millions) are made to shit, urinate and spit 24 x 7 on the sacred place where Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) used to pray.
All above mentioned Salafi groups, including Deobandis, Tablighis, support these actions. We fail to understand what kind of people they are and what kind of Islam they follow? They are totally fearless from Hell Fire.
Muslims from all over the world should know, what will happen to them (in Hereafter) if they shit, urinate and spit at the place where Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) lived and did Salah and Zikr and where Jibreel (علیھ السلا م ) used to sit along with the other dignitaries, like Khulfa-e-Rashideen and other Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ).
It is in Hadith - Narrated Abu Burda (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ): When I came to Madina, I met Abdullah bin Salam (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) . He said, "Will you come to me so that I may serve you with Sawiq (powdered barley) and dates, and let you enter a (blessed) house in which the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) entered?"… (Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 58, Number 159)
The above Hadith shows the sacredness and importance of a house which was visited by Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and how much Sahabah used to respect such things. Now look at these Salafis who destroyed the house of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) in Makka where he lived 28 years, where he prayed, where Jibreel ( علیھ السلا م ) used to sit along with other dignitaries. The Prophet's (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) house was so evil and bad for them that they humiliated the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) by converting it into a public toilet where millions of people are made to shit, urinate and spit, 24 hours of the day, 365 days of the year.
It is in Hadith - Related with Abdullah bin ‘Umar (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) that he wiped his face at the place where Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) sat. (at-Tabqat al-Kubra ibn Sa’d, 1:254).
Imagine how serious issue is this, as you are insulting and humiliating Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), his family members, Sahabah (رضئ اللھ تعالی عنہم اجمعین ) and Jibreel ( علیھ السلا م ) in the most wicked manner. Will your Umra and Hajj be accepted by Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی)? Will your Iman be accepted by Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی) on the Day of Judgment? Think about it.
They cooperate with each other in altering Ahadith books, original Islamic literature, meanings of the holy Quran and entire Islamic heritage.
They proudly say that Al-Bani has removed over 5000 Ahadith from the authentic Ahadith books like Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi, Nasai, Abu Dawood, Ibn Maaja, Ahmad, Muatta and others because these were against their Sky God Aqeedah. They consider all Imams of Ahadith, including Bukhari & Muslim as un-trustworthy, because, as per their claim, all Imams of Ahadith wrote concocted (Maudu) and weak Ahadith in their books. They accept only those Ahadith that have been approved (read altered) by Al-Baani.
- They feel happy to humiliate and insult the Prophet of Islam (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), important Islamic dignitaries and Awliya Allah in whatever manner they can. .
- Some of these groups claim they do not follow any Imam of Fiqh. Some say they follow 'Imam Ahmad. Some of them claim they follow Iman Abu Hanifa (like Deobandis, Tabhlighees, Jamat-e-Islami, etc.). Some say they follow all 4 Imams (like Zakiris - the followers of Zakir Naik).
- The problem with Salafi Groups is they all call each other as Kafirs. There are so many commonalities between them, still they call each other as Kafirs.
- Some people say that Tabhlighee Jamaat, Jamat-e-Islami, Denbandi groups, Tanzeem-e-Islami etc., are Hanafis, therefore, they come under the category of Ahle Sunnah. This claim is false in view of the following facts.
(a) They accept Ibn Taymiyyah and other Salafi scholars as authentic scholar of Islam and always refer their statements, Fatawas and books in their articles and speeches.
(b) They all claim their Sky God is physically sitting on the skies.
(c) They all do not celebrate Milad-un-Nabi ( صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ) and oppose Ahle Sunnah wal Jama'a in their practices of visiting of Muslim graves and many other issues.
(d) Their united stand is that the Green Dome of Prophet Mohammad ( صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ) should be destroyed and three graves should be flattened to earth and removed from the Grand mosque
.(e) They support Saudis' action of converting Prophet Mohammad ( صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ) house in Makka into a Public Toilet for use by millions of people, 24 hours of the day.(f) They support removal of authentic Ahadith from Ahadith books of Imam Bukhari, Muslim and others. They consider Al-Bani, who has changed the entire Hadith literature of Islam, as great Islamic Scholar.
(g) They accept the translation of Quran titled "Noble Quran" done by Salafis as authentic.
(h) There are some differences of opinion among them, therefore, sometimes they differ with each other on some fiqh issues. But overall, their basic faith is heavily influenced by Salafi beliefs.
(i) Tabhlighees, Deobandies, Jamat-e-Islami and the like minded groups race with each other to humiliate the Prophet ( صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ). Their Akabir Ulema are notoriously famous in insulting the Prophet of Islam ( صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ).
