Husamul Haramain

According to author of Husam ul Haramayn, Ahmad Raza Qadri, writings in following books tended to destroy the doctrinal foundations of Islamic orthodoxy and amount to heresies.[1][7]

Shah Ismail Shaheed scholarly treatise Taqviatul Iman (The Power of Faith) which was directed against another book, Kitabal Tawhid written by Muhammad bin Abdul Wahab Najdi in which according to Imam Ahmed Raza, he deliberately ignored the doctrine of Risalat and the Finality of the Prophethood of Hazrat Muhammad.

In 1874 A.D. Muhammad Qasim Nanotvi of Deoband school wrote Tahzeerun Nas (Warning/condensation of People), in 1887 A.D. Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri wrote Brahin-e-Qa’tia (The Arguments in Refutation), and it was followed by another important work in 1901 A. D. by Ashraf Ali Thanvi entitled, Hifzul Iman (Protection of faith). The Rashid Ahmad Gangohi wrote an extensive work entitled, Fatawa-e-Rashidiya (Religious verdicts of Rahsid).

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani’s book entitled, Khutbat-e-Ghulamiya (Speeches of Gulam Ahmad) in which he claimed for himself the status of prophet hood.

On the basis of writings of above scholars in their books Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Qadri accused the founders of Deobandis, Ahle Hadith and Ahmadiyya movement of not bestowing sufficient respect upon the Prophet—and thus he, found them guilty of heresy and blasphemy.[4]

Support and confirmation to Husamul Haramain

In 1905 Ahmad Raza visited Holy places in Hejaz for performing pilgrimage. During this period he prepared a draft document entitled Al Motamad Al Mustanad (The Reliable Proofs) in which he copied and refuted the opinions of founders of Deobandi, Ahle Hadith and Ahmadiyya movement for presentation to the eminent Ulamas of Mecca and Madina. Imam Ahmad Raza collected scholarly opinions of the Ulama of Hejaz and compiled them in a compendium written in Arabic language with the title, Husam al Harmain (The Sword of two sanctuaries).This volume contain the thirty-three scholar’s thirty -four verdicts (20 Meccan and 13 Medina Ulama). All of them gave their verdicts based on the consensus, that founders of Deobandi, Qadiyani and Ahle Hadith factions were apostate and blasphemers. They also exhorted those at the helm of affairs of the Islamic state to indict and punish them according to the Shariah law. If these heretics do not resort to repentance after imprisonment, the head of the state must order their execution. This is mandatory obligation of the rulers to kill the apostates.[8][9][10] The fatawa was publicized during Haj ceremony.[11] The verdict also got confirmatory signatures from 268 traditional Sunni scholars in the South Asia,[12]
