How Allama Kashmiri become such a big scholar?.

Hazrat Allama Kashmiri (rah), he had such a memory that he could remember whatever he read, maybe even after fourty years. So once Mufti Kifayatullah (rah), he was speaking to his students and then he asked a question. Can you tell me how Anwar Shah Kashmiri (rah) became such a big scholar? Someone said, he was very intelligent. The other one replied, O he was a big scholar of Quran. Someone said no, a big scholar of Hadith. One said he was a good poet.
But he (Mufti Kifayatullah) kept quiet. Then the students, they asked him, Hazrat can you tell us how he achieved these heights and became such a big scholar? Then Mufti Kifayatullah (rah) replied that once this question was asked from Allama Anwar Shah Kashmiri (rah) himself. How you became such a big scholar?
He replied that I had a lot of adab for the books of knowledge. I had lot of adab. He said (the questioner) everyone makes adab of this knowledge. He said no, I never touched any Islamic book without wudhu. And if I used to put the books, one on the other, I used to take care of their ranks.
For example, I never put any book of Hadith on Quran. I never put any book of fiqh on Hadith. I never put any book of History on the book of Fiqh. So even on placing the books I used to take care of their ranks. Allahu Akbar! So because he had a lot of adab for the books, so Allah swt gave him such a beneficial knowledge, he had such a power of memorization that he remembered whatever he read even after fourty years of his life.

Allama Anwar Shah Kashmiri and His great students.

Besides his great contribution to research and scholarship, Allama Sayyed Anwar Shah Sb. Kashmiri  also produced an army for the boundries of Islamic kingdom of knowledge and research to fight against the foes of Quran and Hadith.

His students are the biggest introduction of his high status in Quran, Uloom e Quran, Hadith and Fiqh.

After the departure of allama Ibne Hajar [R.A] Allama Kashmiri is standing as an exceptional figure in Islamic history as he revived the same tradition as belongs to Shams Tabrez with Maulana Rome, Ibne Timiya with Ibne Qayyim and Ibne hajr with Allama Sakhawi. The greatness of a scholar can not be judged by the number of books he wrote but by the words that become the precious pearls of treasure of Ilm.

Allama Kashmiri is not only the author of great books but also the master of those pupil , who are telling the story of his greatness, proclaiming his status, revealing his kingship, announcing very clearly that the Kings of world have been buried but for the Kings of knowledge and wisdom there is no death, no deterioration to their Kingdom, they are alive as the heart throb of the seekers of Ilm.                                                                                                                                                     Here are few names of Allama’s great students;   (1)Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdulqadir SB.

Allama zahid Al Kauthari praises Allama Anwar Shah.

In Maqalat al-Kawthari, one article is devoted to showing the misguidance of the Qadiyanis. Towards the end of the article, ‘Allamah Zahid al-Kawthari (1879 – 1951) only mentions ‘Allamah Anwar Shah al-Kashmiri (1875 – 1933)‏ and his associates, Mawlana Murtada Hasan al-Chandpuri (1868 – 1951) and Mufti Shafi‘ al-‘Uthmani (1896 – 1976), as those who defeated the Qadiyani heresy in India in writing.  Allama zahid Al Kauthari says:                
May Allah (Glorified is He) elevate the rank of the lost soul of Islam, the penetrating hadith-scholar, Shaykh Muhammad Anwar al-Kashmiri in the rooms of the Gardens [of paradise], and may He repay him with the reward of those who defended the borders of the religion of Islam, for indeed he uprooted the Qadiyanis with his irrefutable arguments, and he created a barrier before the terrible evil of the moderate of them and the extreme of them in India, by compiling beneficial books in refutation of them in various languages.
He researched in his book Ikfar al-Mulhidin the matter of anathematising them and their ilk. At its conclusion is found around seventy seven quotes similar [to the quotes] that have preceded from the writings of the aforementioned Ghulam Ahmad the false claimant to prophethood, quoting from the books of this deviant while identifying the pages from them by the selection of the eminent teacher, Mawlana Sayyid Murtada [Hasan al-Chandpuri] al-Hindi, and along with those texts are their translations into Arabic by the pen of the earnest teacher, Mawlawi Muhammad Shafi‘ al-Deobandi. Awareness of [even] one of them is enough to be certain of the speaker and his partisans having left the fold of Islam.
(Maqalat al-Kawthari, p. 271-2)
While discussing the deviant belief that the Prophet ‘Isa (upon him peace) has died and will not descend, ‘Allamah al-Kawthari writes:
And in ‘Aqidat al-Islam fi Hayat ‘Isa ‘alayhi al-salam by our master, the oceanic-scholar, al-Kashmiri, is a detailed explanation of the ways the Book indicates to what the people of truth are upon, so whoever wants more detail should refer to that. (Maqalat al-Kawthari, p. 266)
Besides ‘Aqidat al-Islam (and its commentary Tahiyyat al-Islam) and Ikfar al-Mulhidin, ‘Allamah Anwar Shah al-Kashmiri also authored al-Tasrih bi ma Tawatara fi Nuzul al-Masih in refutation of the Qadiyanis. In this book, he collected all the narrations proving the bodily descent of ‘Isa at the end of time. The book was edited and published by Shaykh ‘Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghuddah.
‘Allamah al-Kawthari also said ‘Allamah al-Kashmiri’s work on the issue of raf‘ al-yadayn is one of the best on the topic:
From the best of what was written on this topic is Nayl al-Firqadayn and Bast al-Yadayn both of them by our master, the great scholar, the deep ocean, Muhammad Anwar Shah al-Kashmiri, Allah have mercy on him. (Ta’nib al-Khatib, p. 166)
On specific works on hadith-proofs for the Hanafi school, he also has a book on reciting behind the imam in prayer (Fasl al-Khitab fi Mas’alati Umm al-Kitab), and another on Witr (Kashf al-Sitr ‘an Salat al-Witr); and he was also an aide to ‘Allamah Nimawi’s Athar al-Sunan to which he made further notes after the author’s death with the title al-Ithaf li Madhhab al-Ahnaf.
Finally, Shaykh ‘Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghuddah wrote in the introduction to his edition of al-Tasrih bi ma Tawatara fi Nuzul al-Masih:
Our shaykh, the researcher, al-Kawthari said: “After the shaykh, the imam, Ibn al-Humam, there appeared none equal to him [i.e. ‘Allamah Anwar Shah al-Kashmiri] in eliciting rare points of discussion from hadiths – and this is a long period of time!” (al-Tasrih bi ma Tawatara fi Nuzul al-Masih, p. 26)

Institutions of Muslims and mosques unsafe in India.

If we take stock of capital of India, Delhi, then the fact comes to light that under the very nose of Union and State Governments the institutions of the Muslims and mosques are unsafe. Demolition activities every other day are evidence of this. The constant occurring of such incidents compels us to think if it is a part of a conspiracy. The sorrowful aspect of these incidents is that the attitude of the government on one hand and the leadership of nation on the other is also insensitive. Last night in front of Gate No. 28 of Rashtrapati Bhawan, Madrasa Jamia Masoodia was demolished by the police. It is reported that the madrasa was existing on Wakf land which was here two centuries before also. But the police demolished the five rooms of the madrasa. This ground has been prepared for horse riding of the Rashtrapati security guards.

Maulana S. Ahmed Khizar Shah said that the shrines of the largest minority of the country are being demolished like that which is condemnable. The government instead of giving to Muslims is snatching away whatever they have and all its claims made verbally are falsified. The police have no right to demolish the institute existing on Wakf land. This is clearly unjust and the government must take immediate and serious view of it.

'The U.S. Occupied The Natural Resources Of Iraq And Afghanistan: Sayyed Ahmad Khizar Shah

Prominent Indian cleric Maulana Ahmad Khizar Shah has said that the main goal of the Western powers of the world is to usurp the natural resources of Muslim countries, according to an Urdu-language daily.

Maulana Ahmad Khizar Shah was speaking at a function at the Jamia Imam Mohammad Anwar Shah madrassa in the northern Indian town of Deoband, according to report in Urdu-language daily Roznama Sahafat.
Talking about "conspiracies against Islam," he said, "Wily enemies have pushed the Islamic world towards a very dangerous situation. Their main aim is to take over the natural resources of Muslim countries."
"In the garb of fighting the war against terrorism, the U.S. occupied the natural resources of Iraq and Afghanistan and put to sleep hundred thousands of Muslims there," he added.
Referring to the recent serial blasts in Mumbai, he stated, "These blasts are the conspiracies by the communal [rightwing Hindu] forces and it has been clear now that all the subvert activities to weaken the country is being done by the communal organizations."

Allama Anwar Shah Opinion on Qadyaniyat.

"According to my thorough study of Islam, in the last fourteen hundred years, there has not been a Fitna as serious as that spread by the Qadianis. Uninformed Muslims are threatened by this dangerous and misleading fitna...

Prophet Muhammad^(pbuh) will be very pleased with the person who devotes himself for the purpose of exposing and removing this fitna (which is directed toward his^(pbuh) Prophethood) and will be more satisfied with this effort than with any other."

 Hazrat Maulana Shams-Ul-Haq Afghani says that Hazrat Maulana Syed Muhammad Anwar Shah Kashmiri (Rehmat-Ullah-Alleh) brought his cot to  the compound of Jamia Mosque Deoband three days prior  to his death. He gathered all the students, teachers, and  administrative staff and addressed to them.He said, I advise you all and especially those who have learnt Hadith from me  (about 2000); if you all require absolution salvation and mediation of  the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho Alaihe Wassallam) on the Day of  Judgment, then you must work for the honor and glory of Khatm-e- Nubuwwat. This is the best way of attaining mediation of the Holy  Prophet (Sallallaho Alaihe Wassallam). To the extent you will have hatred for Mirza Qadiyani, to the same extent you will attain proximity    to the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho Alaihe Wassallam). This is so because   enemy of the friend is your enemy; in the same manner as friend of   the friend is your friend.

Once addressing to a gathering at  Darul-Uloom Deoband, Allama Syed Muhammad Anwar shah said “Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadiyani is a scoundrel since eternity. To consider him more cursed than Satan is the integral part of faith. Satan confronted and opposed just one prophet. This rogue opposed all".

Allama Anwar Shah Kashmiri wrote many books, in Arabic and Farsi, to counter the misinformation campaign by the Qadianis. These included:

·         Aqeeda-tul- Islam fi hayat-i Isa 'alaihis-salam
(Islamic faith regarding the life of Jesus^(pbuh))

·         Tahiyyat-ul-Islam fi Hayat Isa alahissalam

·         Al-Tasrih fi ma twatara fi Nuzulil Masih

·          Khatam-ul-Nabiyyen

      ·         Ikfar-ul-Mulhideen

Duty of the person doing Dawah work.

 Allama Anwar Shah Kashmiri Said :: People who are ready for great duty of “dawah” should understand that it should be enriched with sublime character, purity of intention, righteousness, abstinence, great courage, soft accent, feeling of sacrifice, and great struggle. Evil ambitions, should not come in thought, for a single moment otherwise his voice will not influence listeners.(Malfozat-e-muhaddis Kashmiri, P. No. 290, S. No. 329)
