Ayodhya: Jamiat Ulema’s Mufti Muhammad Ilyas, senior cleric of Jamaiat Ulema Hind, said that Lord Shiva was Muslims’ first prophet. He also said that all Muslims were the followers of Sanatan Dharma.
“All religions are preaching the same message. We are Indians first and our message is of peace, harmony and brotherhood. The way people in China are called Chinese and in Japan are called Japanese, similarly we are called Hindustani,” Ilyas said.
“India is our birthplace and roots of our religion. Lord Shiva was Muslims’ first prophet. Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati are our creators and parents which is a reality,” he added.
LUBP’s Comment:
Deobandis are a very opportunistic and unprincipled cult which always aligns with the powerful establishment in India and Pakistan. In India, first they aligned with the powerful secular party Congress and more recently with the Hindu nationalist party BJP. In Pakistan, they align with powerful Saudi Wahhabi lobby and with the pro-Jihadist establishment and freely kill Sunni Sufis, Barelvis, Shias, Ahmadis, Christians, Hindus and other commmunities.
According to Darul Uloom Deoband’s fatwas (religious edicts), Shia Muslims are Kafir (infidels) in a category “worse or inferior” than Hindus, Christians and Jews. Deobandis hold similar views about Ahmadis and Sunni Sufis/Barelvis.

میں نے آپ کے بہت سارے آن لائن فتاوے پڑھے ہیں جس میں آپ نے شیعہ اثنا عشری کو کافر، مرتد او رزندیق قرار دیا ہے۔اب میں درج ذیل سوالات جاننا چاہتاہوں:(۱)ہماری سوسائٹی میں بہت طرح کے کافر ہیں جیسے یہودی، عیسائی، ہندو، سکھ اور قادیانی وغیرہ۔ یہودی، عیسائی، ہندو، سکھ اور قادیانی کے باالمقابل آپ شیعہ اثنا عشری کو کس درجہ میں رکھتے ہیں۔ یعنی آپ ان (شیعہ اثنا عشری )کو عیسائی، یہودی، ہندو، سکھ اور قادیانی میں سے کس کے ساتھ رکھتے ہیں؟(۲)کیا ہم مسلمانوں کوسماجی و معاشرتی تعلقات کی بناء پر شیعہ اثنا عشری کی شادی اور تجہیز و تکفین کی تقریب میں شامل ہوناجائز ہے؟کیا اپنی مساجد اور مدارس کے لیے شیعہ اثنا عشری کا فنڈ اورچندہ قبول کرنا درست ہے؟ کیا ان کے ساتھ کسی بھی طرح کا سماجی و معاشرتی تعلق قائم کرسکتے ہیں؟کیا ہم ان کا ذبیحہ کھا سکتے ہیں جیسا کہ ہم اہل کتاب کا ذبیحہ کھا سکتے ہیں؟

فتوی: 1535=1463/1430/ب
شیعہ اثنا عشری، یہودی، عیسائی، ہندو اور سکھ کے درجہ میں نہیں بلکہ یہ قادیانی کے درجہ میں ہیں، یعنی جس طرح قادیانی کافر ومرتد ہیں اسی طرح شیعہ اثنا عشری بھی کافر ومرتد ہیں۔
(۲) حتی الامکان ہم مسلمانوں کو ان کے ساتھ سماجی ومعاشرتی اور مذہبی تعلقات رکھنے سے احتیاط کرنی چاہیے۔ ان کی تجہیز وتکفین میں شرکت کرنا درست نہیں۔ مساجد کے لیے ان سے چندہ وغیرہ لینا بھی درست نہیں۔ ان کا ذبیحہ بھی درست نہیں، آج کل اہل کتاب بھی دہریہ ہوتے ہیں؛ اس لیے ان کے ذبیحے سے بھی احتیاط برتی جائے۔
واللہ تعالیٰ اعلم

In contrast, one of their top Deobandi clerics in India said that Hindus must not be described as Kafir. In Pakistan, their Deobandi outfits routinely organized Shia Kafir rallies citing takfiri fatwas of India’s Darul Uloom Deoband.

In India, top Deobandi cleric declares Shankar Bhagwan as Hazrat Adam (a.s.). In Pakistan, Deobandi clerics declare Sunni Sufis and Shias as Mushrik and Kafir and kill them.

‘Bhagwan Shiva’ first messenger of Muslims, says Deobandi Mufti
Like Chinese in China, Americans in America all Muslims are Hindus, there is no harm in accepting this fact, he says; receives flak

?
Mumbai/Lucknow: Mufti Mohammad Ilyas, who claims to a functionary of Jamiat-e-Ulema Hind, stirred a controversy Thursday by stating that Hindu Lord ‘Bhagwan Shiva’ was the first messenger of Muslims and like Chinese in China and Americans in America all Muslims are Hindus and there was no harm in accepting this fact.
Mufti Ilyas
Mufti Ilyas elaborated that Muslims were also followers of Sanatan Dharma and “have no reservations in accepting that Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati were part of the series of a lakh and twenty four thousand prophets sent to Earth with a mission to establish humanity, true religion and God’s rule in the world”.
He said he thought there was nothing objectionable or wrong about referring to Indian Muslims as Hindus, since Muslims from India are called ‘Hindi’ in Arabian countries.
“We Indian Muslims are followers of Islam. We believe in ‘Allah’, but we are, traditionally, ‘Hindus’,” he said.
“We are not opposed to declaring India a Hindu country. The way population residing in China and Japan are called Chinese and Japanese respectively, we are called Hindustani,” he added.
Wily nily, Mufti Ilyas has only toed the line taken by the saffron brigade, voiced in so many words recently by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat. The statement, beamed on TV channels all through the day, has come as a virtual bolt from the blue for Islamic clerics, already screaming blue murder.
