Audhu Billahi Min al-Shaytan al-Rajim
BismillahirRahmanirRahim
Masha’Allah, some of our Ikhwan who are studying at Mardrasa in India forwarded this link to our team. They have demonstrated so clearly what a charlatan and a liar that Hisham Kabbani is. While he is claiming to be a big Alim and scholar, he himself does not know the principles of Wudu according to any of the 4 Madhaahib.
O Hisham! Perhaps it is time for you to repent; and when you make Salat al-Tawbah, please make sure that you have made your wudu properly

Dr. Sayyid Muhammad Hisham al-Kabbani al-Lubnani, may Allah forgive him, states:
“Prayer is to Allah swt, although we might not be happy with those imams but the Prophet (s) mentioned that you can pray behind someone, even if that person is a fasiq (sinner). So you can pray behind such a person, just as in Madinatul-Munawarrah or in Mecca, don’t you pray in the Masjid al-Haraam? In all schools you can pray behind an imam not following your ways. Your prayer will be accepted even though his prayer might be doubtful.
Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani ”
Actually, it would be makruh tahriman and would have to be repeated according to Imam Ahmad Ridha Khan rahimahullah and the majority of classical ulema including Imam Ibn Abidin al-Hanafi. Some Ulema including Imam Ibn Nujaym called it makruh tanzihi. The Shafi`is consider it makruh (equivalent of makruh tanzihi) and the Malikis would consider it haram, according to one opinion.
So, no–not all schools agree on it, as Dr. Hisham claims

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
May Allah elevate the status of our Shaikh
Abdul Karim Effendi!
I have been a murid of the noble Shaikh for about two weeks, and I love him very much. I wrote about him in my blog thejourneytoreality.blogspot.com
I’ll share with you a portion;
-
Shaikh ‘Abd ul-Karim Kibrisi, may Allah bless him, ennoble his face, and sanctify his secret, is a khalifa of Mawlana Shaikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, may Allah bless him and give long life. Through the Grace and Mercy of Allah the Exalted, Shaikh ‘Abd ul-Karim’s family has been in the service of Mawlana Shaikh Nazim for five generations; Shaikh ‘Abd ul-Karim’s grand father, father, Shaikh ‘Abd ul-Karim himself, his son, and his grandson have all been, in someway, in the khidma of our noble Master and Guide, that fountain head of Prophetic wisdom and knowledge, Mawlana Shaikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani (qs). Shaikh ‘Abd ul-Karim also said in a suhba that he prayed and hoped that Mawlana Shaikh had such a long life that his great grandson would also serve him. Amin!
This is example of five generations of service at the feet of the Sultan ul-Awliya, may Allah lengthen his shadow over us, is an example of divine acceptance. In turn, the acceptance (qubuliyyat) of Allah is the sign of Allah’s love for that particular servant of His. This is made crystal clear by the rigorously authenticated hadith; Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,
“When Allah loves a person, He says to Jibril, ‘I love so and so, so love him.’ Then Jibril will call to the angels of the heavens, ‘Allah loves such and such a person so love him.’ And the angels will love him. And then Allah the Exalted will place acceptance on earth for that believer.” – Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim
So as can be seen from this, the acceptance of Allah is directly due to His love. Can anyone claim that five generations of Shaikh ‘Abd ul-Karim’s family’s service in the way of Allah is anything other than Allah’s acceptance? Is it other than His love? May Allah help us.
There has been some fitna surrounding our Shaikh ‘Abd ul-Karim, may Allah bless him, and people should not take this as a bad sign, for, in the light of the above, it is nothing less than the glad tidings of Allah! And this can be shown easily, by Allah’s Will.
When a servant of Allah has been accepted to establish His din in the world, Allah honors that person by allowing them to follow the sunnah of His most beloved servant, the Best of creation, our Master Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. The following of his way is no small thing, rather it is a condition of Allah’s acceptance, forgiveness, and love.
“Say, ‘If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful’” – 3:31
What was the way of our Master, peace be upon him? Was it one of ease and comfort? One of leisure and acceptance of the world? No. Our Master, peace and blessings be upon him, went through hardships unspeakable and unimaginable. He was ridiculed and mocked, he was belittled and jeered at. People spat upon his blessed face, and struck his blessed body, and plotted and attempted to murder him. Allah elevate his status to the highest rank! Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah shower him with blessings and peace, said,
“Indeed, I have been so frightened in the cause of Allah, that no one has ever been frightened as much. Indeed, I have been troubled so much in the cause of Allah, that no one has been troubled so much.” – Tirmidhi
If a person is upon the Truth and in the cause of Allah, he should expect hardships and become happy, for it is a great sign that Allah the Exalted wills that person be for Himself. Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said,
“Indeed when Allah loves people He afflicts them, and those who accept it gladly receive Allah’s pleasure, but those who are displeased receive Allah’s displeasure.” – Tirmidhi
This is something that our blessed Shaikh ‘Abd ul-Karim, may Allah increase his rank, understands keenly, which is made manifest by his own actions in the face of attacks and slander; he does not engage them. He is fully aware of the following narration;
Once Abu Bakr Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, was sitting with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, when a man came and started to abuse Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr remained silent. The man continued to insult, and finally, Abu Bakr started to speak in his defence. At this point the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, got up and left. Abu Bakr immediately went after him and inquired if he had done something wrong. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,
“As long as you had been silent, an angel responded on your behalf, but when you started to respond, a devil came and sat down next to you. I could not remain seated where the devil was sitting.” – Abu Dawud
May Allah send a host of angels to respond to the accusations and slanders made against our beloved Shaikh ‘Abd ul-Karim!
Our Shaikh ‘Abd ul-Karim also knows very well the immense benefit of being abused and slandered, as it only is the upliftment of any burden that the abused may have, and the placing of it upon the abuser. As the hadith from Tirmidhi says,
“And if a man abuses and shames you for something which he finds in you, then do not shame him for something which you find in him; he will bear the evil consequences for it.”
This is if the accusations are true, imagine the reward for that one who has slander and lies said about him, as is the case of our Shaikh ‘Abd ul-Karim! May Allah bless him and increase the blessings!

Amin! Please make du’a for me, as I am living in an area where there are no other Muslims, and I am building a farm with the order and blessings of Shaikh ‘Abdul Karim. Please make du’a for me,
Abu Amatullah
