Question:
Assalam alaykum:
Some people on a certain forum are accusing Mawlana Shaykh Nazim of kufr because of what he (may Allah sanctify his secret) said to the Pope based on this.
They also say the same thing of Shaykh ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir ul-Qadri, may Allah bless him….How do you respond?
Answer:
Alaykum as-Salam,
Allah Most High commanded one of His major Prophets to address Fir`awn (Pharaoh) with gentleness and courtesy. Accusing Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani (Allah sanctify his soul) or his students such as Dr. Taher ul-Qadri of kufr for using the same qualities to open avenues of communication with Christian leaders shows mortal ignorance of Qur’an, and the accusation goes back on the accusers.
