Notes
The author, Murid Muhiyy al-Din Nushahrawi, was a disciple of the Akhund of Swat ʿAbd al-Ghafur, and wrote this work in response to Shah Ismaʿil Dihlawi's book Taqwiyat al-Iman. As the title of the book indicates, it deals with the affirmation of the intercession of the Prophet Muhammad and the rulings concerning those who deny it. It also addresses practices such as saying 'Ya Rasul Allah' (O Messenger of Allah), kissing one's thumbs, reciting Mawlud Sharif, and invoking Shaykh ʿAbd al-Qadir Gilani, in support of seeking help from the Awliyaʾ Allah (friends of Allah, or the saints). | This book is an important link in the series of works written by the disciples and scholars of the Akhund of Swat, refuting Wahhabism. It aligns with the writings of Miyan Nasir Ahmad Qissa Khwani, author of Haqaʾiq al-Haqq; the book Radd-i Wahhabi by Mufti Mahmud bin ʿAbd al-Ghafur Peshawari; and Mawlana Muhaddith Muhammad Ayyub Peshawari, among others. These works refute the notion that the Akhund was influenced by Sayyid Ahmad of Rai Bareli or subscribed to his beliefs. | Digitization for the Sufi Shrine Libraries of the Afghan-Pakistan Frontier collection was sponsored by the Modern Endangered Archives Program with funding from Arcadia. | public domain
