…and Maulana Owais Raza Qadri was weighed in Gold

I have been forwarded these pictures of a famous religious poet [naat khawan] Owais Raza Qadri [official website] which I am told were taken last year when the poet received the Govt of Pakistan award for the Best Naat Khawan of 2007, and the consequent celebration was telecasted live on QTV [Quran TV].

Muhammad Owais Raza Qadri, 38 year old young man has achieved much and is a highly celebrated Naat Khawan with many TV appearances in various channels across Pakistan and to add to his fame he also has quite a large number of much sought after naat audio albums to his name

These are two images, both showing him sitting on a weighing scale while he is being weighed in gold, in certain sects of Islam this actually signifies a mark of respect for a Naat Khawan who has sung many naats in praise of Muhammad (PBUH), mind you this gold is not for any personal benefit but is actually going towards Zakat charity alone [I am told].

His wikipedia entry shares some insight on this highly acclaimed religious scholar

Alhaj Muhammad Owais Raza Qadri, born on 8th. July 1970 in Karachi, Pakistan]. He is Intermediate in academic qualifications. He has performed several Hajj and Umras, the first Umra being in 1992 while the first Hajj in 1996. His favorite personality is Alahazrat, Mujaddid-e-Din-o-Millat Imam Shah Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi. He started reciting naats at the age of 8. He was inspired by AlHaaj Yousuf Ashrafi (late) who was his ideal Naat Khawan. He did not take special naat classes but acquired the companionship of good, pious “Ushaqaan-e-Rasool“. Reciting the Naat of Imam-e-Ahle-sunnat, Alahazrat Shah Ahmed Raza Khan Sahib Barelvi is liked by Owais Raza Qadri. His first album was released in 1983 and after that numerous albums have been released.

I actually choose to question the reasoning behind this elaborate ceremony, our so called preachers of Islam I fear will in effect set a bad precedence for future generation of muslims, transforming the religion from a simple faith based religion into a tradition filled bidat prone Islam far different from the one conceived by our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) some 1400 years back.

This is naturally my own personal opinion and I do not mean to disgrace any religious leader as I am open to discussion below on what is right or wrong as I truly feel that herein lies one answer to the reckless religion problem prevalent in Pakistan. Literally with so many flavors of Islam being preached on the streets of Pakistan we have definitely lost our purity and have in turn opened the door to a pandoras box of Islamic beliefs, ranging from the pure simplicity concept towards the overtly complicated ritual based Islam and intermingled somewhere in between we have the suicide motivator mullah preaching the students to use the bomb vest as an immediate pathway to heaven. Is this what Islam was truly meant for? Is this what was preached to us 1400 years back? that said I am sure it was surely NOT this ritualistic gold weighing ceremony of Maulan Owais Raza Qadri conducted on live TV. Is this what we want our future generations to believe in. I know that I am most definitely stepping into hot territory but feel its high time we stepped up to answer this question.

    Dr Awab, While I admire your alarmist reaction to this ceremony, I am surprised to see the difference in your devotion at ‘seeking the truth’ via your blog or just simply bringing up controversies for an ‘open discussion’ and page hits.

    I think I have said enough, now you be the judge of how much you really want to see things change into a more purist version of Islam that was preached 1400 years ago.

    This was funny mostly. Just as it’s great fun watching Qadri’s shows where they will entertain all variety of vocal variations, mimmicing every musical instrument without actually playing one. This stretch of imagination – I mean vocal chords – is quite startling. It’s an ingenious way to ‘stay within the limitations imposed by Islam’.

    Indeed, nothing of this sort is preached in true spirit of Islam. Respect is one thing, idolatory another. I wonder what good did it do to the famous Naat Khawan apart from earnest respect! A simple award ceremony to acknowledge his contributions.

    I think this Qadri and QTV are doing Islam a disservice by projecting a distorted version of Islam, a version which quentissentially revolves around shallow and hollw rituals and is deviod of the true spirit of Islam. Love for Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is an essnetial part of Islam but it reuires one to follow the teachings of Prophet (SAW) faithfully, not to engage in these rituals. And weihging in gold of all the things? Unfortunatley, they have reduced Naat Khawani to a level of a public spectacle, it was an act of expression of one’s devotion and love for the Prophet, a very personal expression, not to be made a public spectacle like this. (Peace be upon the Propeht)

    This is totally wrong thing and such a group of peoples are always find doing bidat.Bidat is a great sin. According to the hadith, bidat is mardood (no-good/ useless) it is gumrahi (deceiving) sharrul umoor (evil order); it is the means of the curse of Allah, and Rasul (S), and the Angels and people. One who honors a bidati (person doing bidat) is cursed.

    May Allah (swt) give all of us wisdom and keep all muslim ummah save from bidat and deceiving.(ameen)

      oh u all so called ulmas! who can u declare that bidaat. let me tell as per my knowledge and understanding bidaat is something added in the formula set by Allah and Rasool (PBUH). You people will admire a singer weighted in gold but not a naat reciter, because we want to see our religious type of people always depending upon others. In Saudia the Imam are Govrnment responsibility and here they have to collect chanda so that they would be depending on the person who main source of Cahanda. God forbid. i think if anyone has the greed or interest that if he recites well will get reward in the form of any commodity then its bad otherwise if anyone give him anything for his best act then its like an appreciation and islam doesn't stop that it is the love for religion from the person paying.
      So plz always research and understand the meaning of anything you say.
      these are my personal views and if it has some misconception i pray to Allah for showing me the right path (aamin)

    Awab.

    By starting this debate you are stepping on tails of many so called police men of Islam. Who are not ready to discuss 'wrongs'.

    Let me share my personal experience here:

    The place I am residing is fast developing Muslim country,(not in Pakistan and I can not mention the name) any blogger can go prison for period without trial for years. Few days back, a blogger went to prison without charge for brining up the story of a high government official being involvement in a murder and blowing body with explosive of his girl friend.

    Just stop here:

    A BADDO (ARAB) can stand up and Ask Umar (RA) from where he got the second sheet of cloth for his dress, while every one else gets one form baitulmal …..This was Islam, open for questioning, ensuring accountability, equality and freedom to debate.

    Not only our Muslim governments has lost that, but as individuals also have become above that rule which is basis of Islam. Today we take out gun, if questioned.

    The place I am residing is the most expensive housing in this country, a house costs over a million $, just outside the housing is a mosque. Most of the residents are Muslim and few non Mulsim. The IMAM in mosque pulled a cable from mosque in to housing area and right beside my house put 4 huge powerfull loudespeakers.

    For purpose of Azan, it is alright, but unfortunately, he would wake up at 4 AM, put a cassette in Mosques loud speaker and open volume at full. This will go on till prayer. Same in evening, he will start his speach at 5PM and continue untill 10 PM in night.

    The sound is so loud that we can not even take phone calls in side our house, can not sleep or even talk even after closing our windows. Although everyone have to work here from morning to evening and needs some rest or sleep in night, IMAM dont care!

    When we told the IMAM that this was disturbing our work, sleep and rest……..the same evening he made a speach calling each of us 'KAFIR' by name….we were only able to get these speakers removed by requesting 'town council', which acted with reluctance, as they are also scared of 'mad mullah'.

    My neighbours include IG Police, State Secratery and Deputy Chief Minister of state….but all are powerless before a 'Mullah', although they can send a blogger to jail, sending a 'Mullah' toprison with bring a countrywide political storm.

    Just imagine what will happen to this place in comming times and what 'policmen' of Islam are doing to it for personal gains.

    barelvism is a twisted combination of Shia Belief and hindu culture belief. This sect has nothing original and always copied things from others.

    Being a member of barelvi community I have seen like Koonday(Shia thing),bowing on shrines(Hindu thing), partying in name of Milad and what not. There is also video of DJ Qadri of same incident. Qadri and Co were banned in Saudia after violating laws by playing Jhankar beats at Masjidul Haram and at Arafat.

    The way DJ qadri and his fellows say naats, it comes under category of “Singing”. Awab is not wrong at all. DJ Qadri and Co,Najam Shiraz sing naats with jhankar beats. This is not how Naat and Hamd r said but then Barelvis want to promote “moderate” version so “Sab chalta hay”.

    Another fact of barelvis that they just busy in copying stuff from other religions and culture. They have nothing original. At one side Barelvis cursed Tableeghi Jamat while on other hand they have their own version of Tableeghiat in form of “Dawat-e-Islami” and their “Raiwind” is in Multan. Offcourse we all know about their “Sahra-e-Madina”. This copy cat cult also have extremist wing in form of Hari Pagri(Totay),Brown Turban etc but so called barelvi liberals cunningly and ignorantly don’t dare to discuss filth within their own community.

    Mualana Owais Qadri has always been a controversial person. But no one, not even Salafi / Wahabis deny his absolute control over his beautiful voice. If the above mentioned ceremony was done for Zakat / Khairat, I think there is no issue with it. People who can afford it should do it to help fellow Muslims. But if it was done as a show off, which I don’t think so, it is in bad taste.

    Now think about it for a moment. This chubby guy is getting weighed in gold (whatever that means) he seemed gleeful. For singing/reciting/screaming about Mohammad SAW, who, as we all know except this fat guy and his friends, hardly ever ate full meal, slept on floors without a pillow. Refused comfort and leadership when offered in exchange of giving up preaching Islam.
    How low we muslims are going to fall? I know I am just echoing here. It is so frustrating to witness how they are raping our country right in front of our eyes while laughing at us.

Mulana should himself give the clarifications, because million of people have a great regard about him. So, whatever the situation is Mulana should give the complete clarification on this act in line of Islam.

    Kashif how you can justify this thing even if the gold is going in charity.
    SAHABA-E-KARAM gave up all their assets for charity, a number of examples are there (i am not going into details of those) but you can not quote any such scene.
    Actually this discussion is not for the criticism on Naat but the act these guys have done.
    I hope you got the point.

    salam to all, those people who idolate this guy are totally misguided just as he is!!!! my cousin! yes my cousin sponsored one of his shows in a mosque today, and i went along to see it and I was shocked at the amount of hatred he was preaching to illiterate and dumb people! this guy is just a money maker and he is fooling people who have no knowledge of islam to make his fortune! my cousin and his friends paid £500 for one hour show!!! half of that time was wasted instilling hatred against wahabis! and I as a wahabi can tell you that my tutors never taught us to ridicule anyone! I was once beaten by my tutor/ustad for cheeking shikhism as a child! these so called lovers of the prophet don't even follow the basic sunnah's of the prophet, and claim that they love the prophet by singing naats! the mosque that he came to is run by my cousins, who have no even basic knowledge of islam, it is people like these that mr qadri and co target to make their millions! now lets turn the page over, in our wahabi mosque, junaid jamshed was invited and he came hapily recited naats the way they should be recited and the cost was mighty! freeeeee!!!!! why does mr qadri ridicule another sect? did the prophet ever ridicule anyone? if he (qadri)is a true lover of the prophet, then he should go to every mosque regardless who prays there and he should go for free! in his naat singing session, he sang many naats full of shirk upon shirk, but unfortunatley the illiterate crowd don't understand what he is saying and hapily sing along! the mosque that he went to, when it comes to fajar salah time there is only 3 people who attend! and you walk around the corner to the wahabi mosque and it has about 40 to 50 people who attend the fajar salah! and these so called barelvis/sunnis are in majority here! every year there is atleast 3-5 children who do quran hafiz in the wahabi mosque, and in the sunni mosque not 1 hafiz has been produced in the last 25 years! amazing isn't it? the lovers of the prophet can't produce a hafiz! this is proof that allah the almighty is naraz with them! allah almighty is protecting his book, like he promised through the wahabis!

    This is nothing but pure biddat and pure self glorification , when the prophet or the Sahaba never did such a thing why these so called clowns indulge in this kind of activity, and above all to cry is the biggest form of hypocrisy.

    To those who call it love of rasool i.e to listen the songs of DJ Qadri , I ask them to read the Sirat of Rasool instead and try to follow that.

    One more question the so called mureeds of this singer have repeatedly said that this guy does it for the "love" of rasool , I would like to ask them if he does it for free , did he gain monetarily from this activity on QTV , does QTV earn money bcos of these songs, teh answer to alll of these questions would be yes.

    Its clearly a form of business using the twisted logic of Barelwism which is a concoted form of Shiaism moxed with Hinduism.

    Does any 1 remember Moses (Musa) leading the Bani Israel out of the bondage of Egypt into the land of Canaan and their the Jews fell into idol worship when Moses was not present . They took for themselves a calf made out of gold and started praising it . (This is a foregone case mentioned in the Quran)

    Do you guys reckon the temples of Hindus and how Hindus are asked to submit their gold and posessions in the name of somnath or ram narayan or any other figure they have carved out of wood or stone

    The same happens in here only that the idol is a man , the other believes him to be spiritually connected to Allah as so were his ancestors and hence the name SILSILA

    They cheat people , lead people astray and introduce deviations of the highest kind

    Praising their lost gone ancestors these people have forgotten islam

    they claim to read the Quran but dont try to understand a word out of it … they just read it like a chant

    their ultimate jihad is naat competition !!!!!!!!!

    they have their hands on all the (so-called) islamic media in Pakistan for instance Qtv .

    Look at their audacity when they make a fool out of people by calling them to 'Haathon haath Istikhara' … has Allah given them authority to conduct the affairs of humans???????????????

    (see how Allah warns us of this)

    Surah Tawbah 9:31. They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allâh (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without being ordered by Allâh), and (they also took as their Lord) Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), while they (Jews and Christians) were commanded [in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)) to worship none but One Ilâh (God – Allâh) Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He)[]. Praise and glory be to Him, (far above is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him)."

    (ABOUT PRIESTS OF ANCIENTS HOARDING UP GOLD OF THE MASSES IN THE NAME OF THE RELIGION —– Allah relates to us everything in the Quran so we are wary of these enemies when they surface)

    Surah Tawbah 9:34. O you who believe! Verily, there are many of the (Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks who devour the wealth of mankind in falsehood, and hinder (them) from the Way of Allâh (i.e. Allâh's Religion of Islâmic Monotheism). And those who hoard up gold and silver [Al-Kanz: the money, the Zakât of which has not been paid], and spend it not in the Way of Allâh, -announce unto them a painful torment.

    this is not wrong according to islam. this celebration is totally halal. however, if future generations follow this and if such projects by qtv or other channels become a tradition then it will truly become haram and bidah. otherwise they have not crossed their limited as many people think so what if its innovational idea etc. but is doees not go against the quran and sahih hadith.

    and one more thing there are many tv channels in pakistan that claim to be islamic but broadcast such wierd tv programs for example one programme that comes on dm ditigital (i dont remember the name of the programme) but a lady sits with sime huge cards with pictures on them. then see get phone calls by the views in order for them find out their future and qismat etc by picking random cards. ehat fuck fuck is all that about………..

    furthermore, I would also like to mention that some ways may look misleading but in fact they are not. many people think that everything is haram in islam exept what is stated to be halal. In fact its the other way around, every thing is halal in islam except what is stated to be haram. similarly this celebration is also halal if it does not break the laws of the shariah. one should bear in mine that islam allows u to do everything but with limits due to valid reason which many people like me and u dont have the brain to think about, so we do not realise. instead we argue over such useless points. many of us even read the translation of the quran and thus dont know the meaning. further we also havent read the full hadith books. i can garantee 100% that no one who has posted their cmment here knows the quran or hadith properly ont even me. many think that just because theve read the translation of the quran and/or the hadith books they know their stuff, which in fact is not the case. such books need to be tuaght to us in the original languge and not in its translation. without this propel study we just fight over some random topic thats been posted on the internet with the half of the story. i mean how many of you in here have seen the full broadcating before looking at the two pictures and reading this page. many stupid people have just posted half of vid on youtube only showing owais bhai sitting on the wieghing scale andd name it such as belvi exposed etc. its so stupid why do such thing. what would you think if u seen only these two pics for the first time. ive seen the whole programe live and they said at the begginning that they will wiegh owais bhai in gold and sell the gold off and then use the money for charity.

    people must think but without knowing the full thing they shouldnt past it on to others as doubts are crated and such doubts a dangrous. however, people celebrating in a such way should take care not beacause they doing anyting wrong. but because they should think for future generation. future generation will see this and people that are not propley educated will fight over this and some will think it right will do it over and over agian until it becomes a tradition. now here it gets wrong, this is why they should try to aviod such activities which doesnt neccessarly means that it becomes haram. this is why there are limitations in islam. for example naats itself, there no where in the quran or the hadith stated that naats are haram. there halal. but music is haram due to the fact that it makes people do nxt level things if they get too passionate about singing etc. naats are allowed as naats are to praise the prophet muhammad pbuh. however you can not make the prophet into god so say something like i see god in you, which wrong and it become a shirk. some people do this in naats, and especially in songs. this is why music is haram and only the daff (one sided light sound drum) is allowed. therefore in such occasions on tv channels they should bear in mind if this done of show off who care you just keep your intention clean and if you think that this is wrong then just avoid it.

    you call yourself 'mr bush' , the name of the enemy of islam .

    and what Quran do you read that justifies such behaviour????

    Mr Bush … you name other deviant practices … yet your sect itself is highly deviant …

    first of all there is no room for sect making in islam … but alas who would teach people islam in that manner …

    but still when you have made 1 sect and included every kind of biddah in it … no body says any thing to you

    but when you come to shirk

    what is the value of this fat singer that he be valued in gold ???? was any prophet ever valued in gold ?

    and you are here talking about Quran and how no one can understand it … while Allah HIMself says that HE has made Quran easy for every 1 to understand … is there any 1 who will take heed

    I quoted Quran in english just because 'Barelvis' like yourself who just recite the Quran in Arabic without knowing what it means would know the 'real essence of the quran'

    why are you guys grave worshippers ?

    and personality worshippers ?

    if you know islam truly you will hang these singers of yours

    QURAN is the FURQAN through which Momineen judge the difference between right and wrong

    Assalammualaikum,

    I openly declare to all the wahabis if ever they have guts to debate on sharia and islam you can surely do it and do it openly where we get our guide Aalim and your Halim to debate it but remember evry1 have words on wat muslim does or not, ask yourself what you r doing for islam atleast this man is making an effort so that our beloved Rasool may hear him and im sure Our beloved Rasool is listening. Wat i can say that is 2 stop juging someone even not knowing any Fact…. All wahabis may read Quraan as well as any Sunnis but let me tell you folks you are all JAHANNAMI coz their is no Ashike Rasool in your heart atleast our Alhaaj have it and yes when a sunnis read Quraan they read it much more better than all "WAHABIS & CANNABIS", you may find it ridiculous wen He cried obviously you will coz you don't have zat kind of Ishk it's beyond your thoughts and will never understand zat. Y Mocking or critisising some1 who have ishk go an make Jihaad to those who are killing our muslim brothers, those who are burning our Quraan inspite you all "WAHABIS & CANNABIS" do for our tarikat. and ya every Dog's barked on their own Field.Ya y you wont go for Jihaad coz u all are afraid to die even in that 2 our Quadris have prouved it by many attack's of yours while doing his program and had received many bullets through his chest and back.

    Salam

    Why is it that every barelwi when under attack think that the attacker is a wahhabi ?

    why cant there be a person who is only muslim and not a wahhabi , deobandi or for that matter hanafi , shaafi , hanbali , malaki ….

    why are you deviated from ISLAM and involved in sect making … following the desires of your lord and patrons and singers ???

    where in the history of Rasool was he ever been weighed in gold or silver ??? if you call yourself aashiqeen rasool when your maashoq (Rasool) hasnt been into this treatment how come do you think this qadri is eligible for that treatment ?

    and where has the Rasool in any hadith said to his followers that praise me and worship me and sing my name ???

    …………………………

    wahhabi rhymes more with sharabi rather than cannabis … and i am sure when you guys do these dancing mehfils of yours ur high on both

    but that is just humor

    ……………

    these people seriously have changed the nature of islam and made it into something which has elements of hinduism , shiasm , jainism , christian and some of it is islam too

    read Quran for urself … dont just follow anything ur patron says to u

    read different translations of different scholars and read different exegesis …

    and when you are through that … you will be able to see these two pictures through my perspective

    and then inshAllah you will be muslim and not a sectmonger

    what on earth are you talking about Nabeel??? ok some parts were right about the sects and stuff but why are saying that reading a naat is wrong, and where on earth can you see poeple dancing???? we read the naat because we have love for the prophet (saw) i dont get why you think this is a bad thing?? im sure youve heard a sahaba used to read poetry (naat) to the prophet (saw) and the prophet (saw) liked it. do you read durood sharif in namaz? yes or no ofcourse you do that is sending durood, salaam and blessings on the prophet (saw) and reading the naat is durood and blessings too if you think reading naat is wrong then why do you read durood in namaz? omg you poeple just dont want to understand OPEN YOUR EYES! do you follow sunnat of prophet? ofcourse you do. why do you do it? because you have love for the prohpet (saw) which is why we read naat because we have love for prophet Muhammad (saw) and we get sawaab for sending blessings on the prophet (saw) and i agree with Muhammad Asaad ๐Ÿ™‚ please OPEN YOUR EYES! AHLE-SUNAT-WAL-JAMAAT is the true way!

    Asalam Bro Manzoor,

    Y we should always make wahabis understand, THEY CANT coz Allah have put veil on their eyes. so better not to discuss Islam coz for them Islam became a debate platform for them its worthless to discuss they only know to attack people who dont know islam lyk youngsters which they can a majority throughout the world. Me only what ocuppied me is that Y they dont debate with Aaleem e Deen instead debating with People. They only know that Bukhari Shareef as authentic Hadith but "how they know in Kabr there is 3 question as in bukhari shareef there is only 2 question". So they all want to become great great Mufassir,Mufti and all that when they dont know the truth themselves. They learnt a bit and they preach lyk long rope. So better not to discuss with them.

    interesting comments by manzoor and mohammad asaad

    alright lets get down to what islam is ?

    is it praising the prophet or submitting ur will to Allah ?

    reading a naat is a very small part of the supererogatory duties that a muslim might perform … but when reading a naat becomes more important than all the other activities of islam and takes precedence over other matters than you have a division …

    ……………………….

    for all your records i m not wahhabi…

    ……………………….

    what i read in namaz is durood e ibrahim … which states that O Allah bless Mohammad saw and his followers like you blessed Ibrahim and his followers ….. its a simple dua … whence naat and mehfil e miilad and what do you call it that thursday night thingy of your deviant sect dawat e islami where da religious scholar is literally distributing "tajallis" to his followers … that is all a part of your ahle sunnat …

    btw i m not even ahle sunnat i m muslim …

    another case of your lunacy can be observed at the shrines where i believe your people go and try to please the dead body of a saint … where satan makes promises to you and you are deluded by that …(any idea what shirk is?)

    now even more is your reliance on weak hadeeth through which you have made Prophet Mohammad as your saviour just like christians have made Prophet Jesus their saviour … no matter what you do your prophet would save you … and when you are in some difficulty you call out to your prophet rather than calling out to the One and Only ….

    may be that is why you allege that you love the prophet .. cause you think the prophet is your connection to Allah … that Allah doesnt see you or hears you or knows you … Allah is a deity that has just created you and sitting in the farthest corner of the universe with no interest in human beings .. and if any problem befalls you its your prophet who is going to make it right ?

    is this what your prophet asked you to do … is this what you call tawwakal ????

    love of prophet is following the prophet not praising him … just because some of you wear islamic perfumes , white shalwar kameez with painchas up on your knees , and green turbans doesnt mean that you are the closest to him …. you can only be close to him if you have his eeman … his tawwakul .. his helplessness in front of Allah … his resignation in front of ALlah … that is what he taught us … submittance of your will to Allah … all the prophets in the world combined are nothing in front of Allah … the king of the heavens and the earth … got it ?????

    so stop praising the prophet and praise the True Lord …
