“IS DARUL ULOOM DEOBAND NOW A DEVIATED INSTITUTE”
Question
Given that Ml Arshad Madani is the current principal of Darul Uloom Deoband, is it safe to assume that Darul Uloom Deoband is now a deviated institute and is no longer of the Haqq? Should we say that students should no longer go there to study?
ANSWER
All institutions of the Deen such as Madaaris and Khaanqahs over the passage of time slide into deviation and annihilation. In the end remains only the original name, and nothing more. The Rooh of the Institution is gradually smothered and extinguished. A good example is Al-Azhar in Cairo. Once upon a time it was a noble Madrasah from whose portals emerged illustrious Ulama and Auliya. But, alas! Today it is an Institution of kufr.
Darul Uloom Deoband is currently in its death throes. Its sakraat had commenced many decades ago. The Janaazah of Ilm is in the process of departing from Darul Uloom Deoband or perhaps it has already departed.
Swami Mahatma Arshad is not the principal of Darul Uloom. He is the Sadr Mudarris (Chief Ustaadh) and the vice-principal. The principal himself is not befitting the post he occupies. Most assuredly, this Hindu pundit-like specimen being the chief ustaadh and vice-principal does exercise an extremely corruptive influence on the students and staff.
This Swami is an interfaither who collaborates with the mushrik Hindus. It appears that to him temples and Musaajid are the same. With such a vile supporter of kufr interfaith, who has absolutely no qualms and no Imaani inhibition to enter into kufr dalliances with Hindus, Muslims should not go the Darul Uloom for gaining Ilm of the Deen. There are numerous other Madaaris catering for Ilm. With a Hindu-like interfaither at the head, the Institution has entered into the domain of deviation.
