All kinds of rumors are going around regarding my return from Bangley wali Masjid, Nizamuddin to Gujrat in the evening of August 12, 2016. All these rumors are entirely baseless and contrary to the truth. Therefore, I think it is appropriate that I describe the truth myself.
1. The good image of this effort has taken a walloping and the sanctity that this effort enjoys over the years is being shattered due to all what has happened in Bangley wali Masjid, Nizamuddin from the month of Ramadan till now in the year 2016. A few days back, one such an ugly incident was witnessed by me in person too. All this has saddened and troubled the brothers all over the world, the Renowned Ulama and the spiritual elders. The current situation has affected the collectiveness of the effort badly. On the other hand, in Bangley wali Masjid, Nizamuddin, such a group has taken control who is trying to push even the wrong things as right, thus proving as an obstacle in any worthy effort of setting things right. This is a very serious and dangerous situation for the effort. There is a dire need to solve this intense problem with all seriousness. All those who think that there is no problem in Markaz at all and everything is going on normally are grossly mistaken, as this is contrary to the existing conditions and facts.2. Despite feeling clogged, I decided to go to Bangley wali Masjid, Nizamuddin after Eid-ul-Fitr this year. Before going, I had a feeling that the problems will be solved amicably soon, In-Shaa-Allah. So, while I was there, I talked to Molvi Saad Sahab many times directly with reference to the current scenario. But, sadly, no useful result came out. Instead, due to my stay in Nizamuddin and the participation in Mashwarah daily, it started getting propagated that I am in agreement with the current pattern (“Tarteeb”) and way ahead (“Manhaj”) of the effort. Not expressing my perspective and viewpoint vis-à-vis the current scenario of the effort would be taken as sycophancy in Deen. Therefore, in the following, I express my viewpoint in clear words for the benefit of the brothers all over the world.
This Mubarak effort of Dawah has got its circle widened across the world. Millions of people are participating in the effort. People of different temperaments and different views are attached to this effort. It is obvious that, to take up the burden of such a vast and extensive effort, such an authentic group is required which has learnt from the elders well. All the brothers must have no doubts about that jamat at all when it comes to their quality of fearing Allah, trustworthiness, sincerity and striving for Deen. This group must carry the effort on with mutual consultation and collectiveness. Without this, it is very difficult to keep the effort off from disorientation and to keep the brothers united.
That’s why only, in the lifetime of Maulana Zubairul Hasan Sahab R.A. itself, on the occurrence of some important Masael, I had suggested many times to add more persons from across the world to the Shoora made by Maulana Inamul Hasan Sahab R.A. I had presented the view that the solution to the emerging problems lies in this expansion of the Shoora only. In the last years of his life, Hazrat Marhoom Maulana Zubairul Hasan Sahab R.A. had got ready also for that. But, suddenly his last time came, may Allah SWT grant him forgiveness and enter him into Jannah.
After the passing away of Hazrat Marhoom, with the Mashwara of old brothers, we had sent a detailed letter to Maulana Saad Sahab., in which we had expressed our apprehensions about the current Tarteeb and Nahaj of the effort, thereby requesting to give a shape to the Shoora as a step towards solving the problems. But, alas, nothing consequential came forth and the condition of the effort kept deteriorating.
Then, last year in November 2015, after the formation of Shoora in the congregation of the older brothers from across the world, I had requested Maulana Saad Sahab myself to accept this Shoora. All the problems will be solved In-Shaa-Allah. But, he refused to accept, because of which the effort got disturbed in the whole world and the situation became pretty alarming. Even now, in my view, the solution to the problem is in the acceptance of this Shoora and then completing all the requirements of the effort with the collective wisdom of this Shoora.
As regards to the Nahaj and Tarteeb of the effort, it should be maintained in accordance with the previous three tenures. If there is a need for any addition or modification in the same, it should be affected only after a collective decision of the Shoora. At this time, the reason for the collectiveness being hampered is only that new things and formats are being introduced without the Mashwara and confidence of the old brothers.
This jamat of tableegh is bound by the Maslak of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah (Muslims in large with Sunnah and Deen in their life) with regards to the explanation and interpretation in the matters of Deen and Shariah. Similarly, they are bounded by the Legendary (Jamhoor) Mufassirin in pronouncing the Tafseer of any Ayah of Quran-e-Kareem, Legendary (Jamhoor) Muhaddisin in pronouncing the explanation (Tashreeh) of any Hadeeth and the opinion of Legendary (Jamhoor) Fuqaha in derivations from the lives of Rasool S.A.W. and Sahabah R.A. Our elders in the previous three periods remained bounded to this principle, because without this, the doors to the alterations in Deen will open up.
From the very beginning of the effort, extreme care has been taken in all the discourses. All efforts had been made to stay away from the non-authentic anecdotes and undue derivations and innovations. For this only, we have ordained to confine ourselves within the six qualities during our discourse, to follow the authentic Ulama in pronouncing the explanation of any Ayah or Hadeeth. Our elders had been abstaining from contradictions, criticism, comparisons or judgements, discussions on Aqaaed, Masaael and current affairs. It is one of the basic principles of this effort to abstain from criticizing or passing judgement on any religious organizations or person. However, nowadays, many of the elders are crossing these limits in their discourses, particularly in making wrongful derivations from the lives of Sahabah, excessive criticism and passing judgements on other religious organizations. I have not been agreeing with this from before and had even been trying to divert the attention towards this. In my talks also, I had been trying to warn about it all, in a positive way though. However, when the limits were exceeded and people started interpreting my stay in Nizamuddin wrongly that I approve of the current state and Tarteeb of the effort, thereby creating a feeling of suffocation for me in the current environment of Bangley wali Masjid, then after many days of Istikhara, I have decided to open my heart before the brothers in clear words. When the situation will improve, I shall not have the slightest hesitation in coming back again. My return to Gujrat should not be taken as being party to anyone, rather it is for the sake of protection of the effort and to save myself from sycophancy. I am also answerable in the courts of Allah. May Allah SWT only save the effort and its brothers, Ameen.

After the above letter of Maulana Ibraheem DB. Sahaab, many brothers from India and abroad have required about my standing. Afterwards, Maulana Yaqoob DB. Sahaab has also explained his standing. In this context, I want to humbly state that I am in complete agreement with the standings of Maulana Ibraheem Sb and Maulana Yaqoob Sb. The current situation of Bangleywali Masjid can only be rectified through incorporation of the suggestions of both these elders.
