Availability of English books by Deobandi ulema and Islamic publications.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftisays.com
Asalmualikum

My name is Amjid. I just have a couple of questions that i would like to ask.

Firstly in regard to the allegations regarding the ulema of deoband (i.e. Maulana Qasim Nanotvi, Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi, Maulana Rashid Ahmed Gangohi – may Allah (SWT) have mercy on them all). The group that degrade these ulema use references from the books that have been written by the above ulema. Now what i want to know is are these books availabe to read in English (also i don’t remember all the book names, that they use. I know some of the books that they mention have never been written by the above ulema. But if you could inform me of thier availaibity.

The other questions are, is there any darul – ulooms that teach aalim courses in English, even distant learning. I am currently learning from ulema who are connected with hijaz college in Coventry (its like an Alim course.) The teaching there is very good, and very similar to the opinion of the our ulema (i.e. deoband) but there are obvious differences (deobandi-braelvi), they are however very knowledgeable and aren’t ignorant like some of the self appointed pirs are. There is however some other factors, such as some of the arrangements i don’t fully find comfortable. As a result of this i’m not sure if i want to carry on with them next year, but i don’t want to leave unless I have a better option

Bear with me maulana this is the last question, I am a writer, and i was wondering if there are any magazines/sites/newspapers (Islamic) that you could give me contact information for so that i could post some articles. If they are interested of course.

Jazak – Allah Khair for your time and effort.

May Allah (SWT) reward the ulema for thier efforts.

Answer
Bismihi Ta’ala

There is alot of criticisim made against the pious Ulamaa who were at the forefron of the rich developments and establishment of Madrasahs and institutes through which the sound and traditional knowledge of Islam is preserved and protected. This is a very unfortunate matter. But wherever falsehood emerges, Haqq and truth always overpower it.

Unfortunately, other than the Behashti Zewar and a few others written by Hakim ul-Ummat Maulan Ashraf Ali Thanwi, I do not know of any other books translated into English.

It is encouraging to see your zeal for knowledge. May Allah Ta’ala guide you towards what is best. There are not many establishments that provide the Alim course in English. You may need to get in touch with some South African institutes. I am sure that this will help you. Also, Try Shaikh Saleem Dhorats madrasah in Leicester, all the teachers are English speaking.

You may post your articles on this site if the administrator (maulana Yasin) approves.

And Allah knows best.
