antibhondo Dr. Shabbir's Reference: when one is checked

Beginner/Inquirer « on: January 06, 2011, 01:00:46 PM »
Posts: 48 This Post is about the alleged confession of Imam Razi, as presented by Dr. Shabbir Ahmed in at least
two of his books [The Criminals of Islam, Islam - The True History and False Beliefs]. I don't know about the
authenticity of the alleged confessions of other Imams, but I know specifically about that of Imam Razi,
that this is quite a false accusation.
__________________________________________________________________
Dr. Shabbir Ahmed wrote:
After writing his 300 volumes, the great and authoritative Imam confesses: "All my intellectual and
supposedly logical statements in the explanation of the Quran turned out to be lame. All the explanations of
the Quran done by the so-called Imams (Tabari, Zamakhshari, Ibne Kathir, Bukhari, Muslim etc) are misguided
and misleading. All of us were the tools of Satan. Our souls were polluted by our physical desires. All our
endeavors and works of this world promise to bring upon us nothing but eternal humiliation, torture and
doom.
• (Hadith-Ul-Qur’an by Allama Inayatullah Khan Al-Mashriqi, 1954 edition p190)

The first Confusion:
Quote
All the ex planations of the Q uran done by the so-called Im am s (Tabari, Zam ak hshari, Ibne Kathir, Buk hari, Muslim etc) are
m isguided and m isleading.

After recovering the first shock, my first confusion was with the names in the bracket. One of the names is
Ibne Kathir. OMG! Ibne Kathir's life span is 1301-1373 CE, whereas Imam Razi's 1150-1209 CE!!!

How was it possible for Imam Razi to know the name of Ibne Kathir?
___________________________________________________________________
The Reference book is available on the Internet:

So, the doubt against the writings of Dr. Shabbir Ahmed began to rise. Then I started searching for the
reference he provided and found the Book! So, Let us check that Book:
The original urdu book Hadith-Ul-Qur’an by Allama Inayatullah Khan Al-Mashriqi is available in the following
link:
http://www.aboutquran.com/ba/bio/InayatullahKhan/Inayatullah.Khan_HadisalQuran.pdf
Only the page-190 can be downloaded from this link: http://www.scribd.com/doc/46425814
__________________________________________________________________________________
A discussion on the reference:

Yes, there is something from which Dr. Shabbir has written this "CONFESSION" thing! It is a poem of
Imam Razi. The poem was partially translated in Urdu by Allama Inayatullah Khan Al-Mashriqi in the
mentioned page, and before and after his urdu translation, he clearly stated (two times) that the portion
he mentioned (in Urdu) was stated in the following poem:

‫ وأﻛﺜﺮ ﺳﻌﻲ اﻟﻌﺎﻟﻤﯿﻦ ﺿﻼل‬... ‫ﻧﮫﺎﻳﺔ إﻗﺪام اﻟﻌﻘﻮل ﻋﻘﺎل‬

‫ وﺣﺎﺻﻞ دﻧﯿﺎﻧﺎ أذى ووﺑﺎل‬... ‫وأرواﺣﻨﺎ ﻓﻲ وﺣﺸﺔ ﻣﻦ ﺟﺴﻮﻣﻨﺎ‬
‫ ﺳﻮى أﻧﻢ ﺟﻤﻌﻨﺎ ﻓﯿﻪ ﻗﯿﻞ وﻗﺎﻟﻮا‬... ‫وﻟﻢ ﻧﺴﺘﻔﺪ ﻣﻦ ﺑﺤﺜﻨﺎ ﻃﻮل ﻋﻤﺮﻧﺎ‬
‫ ﻓﺒﺎدوا ﺟﻤﯿﻌﺎ ﻣﺴﺮﻋﯿﻦ وزاﻟﻮا‬... ‫وﻟﻢ ﻗﺪ رأﻳﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ رﺟﺎل ودوﻟﺔ‬
‫ رﺟﺎل ﻓﺰاﻟﻮا واﻟﺠﺒﺎل ﺟﺒﺎل‬... ‫وﻛﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺟﺒﺎل ﻗﺪ ﻋﻠﺖ ﺷﺮﻓﺎﺗﮫﺎ‬
The meaning of the poem is:
Link: http://www.thefullwiki.org/Fakhr_al-Din_al-Razi
The daring of minds ends in shackles, Most of mankind's undertakings are folly. Our souls are indifferent to
what our bodies do, And the sum of our lives is affliction and harm. We did not benefit from our lifelong
search Except in collecting what these said, and those. Atop many a mountain men have triumphed And
gone, while the mountains remained. How many men and states have we seen, Goaded to disappear one
and all.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

My comment about the Translation of the poem: This poem is very much famous. You just copy any
sentence of the arabic poem, or english translation, google with that, you will get many links.

I think The bold portion should have been at last.
____________________________________________________________________________________

However, another translation is available in the Internet.

The link is: http://books.google.com/books?
id=Y7JInpQL0x8C&pg=PA381&lpg=PA381&dq=%22Our+souls+fear+our+bodies%22&source=bl&ots=kYWKq_92Rl&sig=BR6rW3
Our souls fear our bodies as if they want to separate from them.
The result of our life in this world has been nothing but pain to others and sin.
For all the discussions and debates of our life We have derived no benefit but senseless noise.
How often have we seen men and kingdoms All perish quickly and cease to exist! How was their glory once
more exalted than a mountain, Yet, men perish and the mountain remains the same!
________________________________________________________________________________
A comment from the book containing the translation:
The name of the Book: Biographical encyclopaedia of Sufis: Central Asia and Middle East By N. Hanif,
Page:381
In this book, just before mentioning the translation of the poem, the writer wrote:
There is a poem of Imam Razi which is in itself almost sufficient evidence for his Sufism. In the
original Arabic it is so beautiful and effective that hardly any of his biographers has failed to mention it.
Written in old age by a man who was the leading scholar and theologian of his day and who enjoyed
all the comfort and glory of the life of this world, it is a vivid reminder that beyond the sphere of all
human life and knowledge there is another reality which man must seek in order to remain faithful
to his own intimate nature. The poem begins with these verses:....(Then the poem starts)
_________________________________________________________________________________
No word for Explanation of Quran in this poem:
If a reader is aware, he/she can easily understand that there is nothing, said about "explanation of Quran" in
the poem.
Very interestingly, Allama Mashriqi mistranslated the poem using the words in the translation using the
phrase "explanation of the Quran". Allama Mashriqi's translation has almost taken place in the
translation of Dr. Shabbir Ahmed. "Almost"...because In his english translation of Allama Mashriqi's Urdu
translation, Dr. Shabbir inserted some words which were said by neither Allama Mashriqi nor Imam
Razi. In the following para of the translated portion of Dr. Shabbir (translated from Mashriqi's), is presented
with the inserted (by Dr. Shabbir) words red marked:
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Checking the "insertion by Dr. Shabbir":
After writing his 300 volumes, the great and authoritative Imam confesses: "All my intellectual and
supposedly logical statements in the explanation of the Qur’an turned out to be lame. All the explanations of
the Qur’an done by the so-called Imams* (Tabari, Zamakhshari, Ibne Kathir, Bukhari, Muslim etc) are
misguided and misleading. All of us were the tools of Satan. Our souls were polluted by our physical desires.
Our efforts of this world promise to bring us nothing but torture and doom."
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Please note that:
The red-marked words are inserted totally by Dr. Shabbir Ahmed. These words were stated neither by
Imam Razi nor by Allama Mashriqi. But Dr. Shabbir inserted the words in the name of Imam Razi, with
reference of Allama Inayatullah.

And This man calls other "CRIMINAL"!

____________________________________________________________________________________________________
*Here in the poem, Allama Mashriqi actually mistranslated the word Alamin/Alimin. He thought of the word as
Alimin and translated as Imam (religious Alim). But if one reads the last four lines of the poem, he/she can
easily understand that this meaning of the word "Alim" (even if the word is alimin) can only be "learned
ones", not "a religious Alim".
The last four lines:
How often have we seen men and kingdoms All perish quickly and cease to exist! How was their glory once
more exalted than a mountain, Yet, men perish and the mountain remains the same!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
The most Interest Thing:
The most interesting thing happened when I personally mailed Dr. Shabbir Ahmed, and informed the gross
mistakes he made, then he, in the reply, wrote me that
"I have Allama Mashriqi's book in Urdu. The late great scholar does not mention that he translated a
poem by Imam Razi"
But, the fact is that Allama Inayatullah Mashriqi has clearly stated (anyone can download the book or only
the page from the mentioned link, and see by herself/himself) that all that he has written in the name of
Imam Razi was stated in the "following poem". And then he mentioned the original Arabic poem.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
So, Now the most important Question is:
So, the most important question now is:
Doesn't he understand Urdu?
Or, has he himself never seen this book at all!!!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
The confusion is:
Most of the the books referred by this Dr. Shabbir Ahmed while speaking ill of the honorable Ulama of Islam
(naming them CRIMINALS!!!) are not actually available. This Alama Mashriqi's life span was 1888-1963. So,
there was a possibility that even this book (Hadisal Quran) might not have been available. Let alone any
book of Imam Razi that contains the referenced poem.

 Did Dr. Shabbir Ahmed try to take that chance?

The other books that are not available....what about those? Are they also references like this?

Brother San,
Assalamu Alaikum.
I have had several correspondences with Dr. Shabbir Ahmed.

Probably you have missed the following portion:

>>>I have Allam a Mashriqi's book in Urdu. The late great scholar does not m ention that he translated a poem by Im am Razi.

Dear Brother

Assalam u Alaik um . I do not k now why you said this. Just before the poem m entioned in Arabic, Allam a Inayatullah did clearly
m ention that. Please tak e a close look .

After my mail, I have received no reply.

When this comment {{The late great scholar does not mention that he translated a poem by Imam
Razi.}} was proved to me an obvious lie, I decided to post this article.
Thank you.

Brother loxbox13

Assalamu Alaikum.
Thank you for the information. But can you give me any reference for that?

However, but the problem is that

Imam Razi did not actually mentioned the names.
Allama Inayatullah Mashriqi inserted himself some words in his Urdu translation in the name of Imam Razi that
were not said or meant by Imam Razi. Even this Allama Mashriqi did not mentioned the names.
Carefully observe the related portion of the article:

All the ex planations of the Q ur’an done by the so-called Im am s* (Tabari, Zam ak hshari, Ibne Kathir, Buk hari, Muslim etc) are

The red-m ark ed words are inserted totally by Dr. Shabbir Ahm ed. These words were stated neither by Imam Razi nor by A llama
Mashriqi. But Dr. Shabbir inserted the words in the nam e of Im am Razi, with reference of Allam a Inayatullah.

A nd This man calls other "CRIMINA L"!
