By C J Ahmed
12/08/2019 Update-26/07/2020
Nouman Ali Khan is German born American Muslim preacher whose parenst were pakistani descent. Nouman Ali Khan is a very popular preacher among Muslim youth and is the founder of Bayyinah Institute where Arabic is mainly thought. He has a large following worldwide due to his English lectures and is a Youtube personality too.
Nouman Ali Khan is a public speaker who is also the founder of the Bayyinah Institute in 2005. He is another deviant caller like Ismail Menk. I have written a detailed article about Ismail Menk and you can read the full article in this link https://cjislam.weebly.com/is-mufti-ismail-menk-a-scholarmufti-must-read.html. Nouman Ali Khan is called "Ustadh" by his ignorant followers who will fall hook line and sinker to his deviant speeches that are watched and followed by millions of Muslims around the world. The prophet (Sal) warned about deviant callers like Nouman Ali Khan.
Ibn Masud (Rali) narrated,
The prophet (Sal) drew a line in the sand with his hand and he said, “This is the straight path of Allah.” Then, the Prophet drew lines to the right and left, and he said, “These are other paths, and there is no path among them but that a devil is upon it calling to its way.” Then the Prophet recited the verse, “Verily, this is the straight path, so follow it and do not follow other ways.” (6:153) "
(Musnad Ahmed-Graded Sahih by Ahmed Shakir)
Abu Dharr (Rali) narrated,
The prophet (Sal) said,
“You are today in a time of many Scholars and few speakers. So whoever abandons even a tenth of what he knows is ruined. There will come after that a time of many [ignorant] speakers wherein the Scholars are few. So whoever holds fast to even a tenth of what he knows will be saved.”
(Tirmidhi,Musnad Ahmed and other- Graded Sahih by in As-Sahīhah no. 2510)
This article will shed light on the deviant Aqeada and Manhaj of Nouman Ali Khan based on clear evidence.
1. Nouman Ali Khan denies that Jews, Christians and polytheists are disbelievers..
Nouman Ali Khan is an Ikhwani Sufi who rejects something Islam confirms and denies the fact that all non Muslims are Kafir (Disbelievers). Nouman Ali Khan gives his own logical nonsense and even rejects the ayah of the Quran which clearly says that the Jews,Christians and idol worshipping polytheists are Kafirs. In a video called 'what does the term Kafir mean? Nouman Ali Khan said the following,
"In the Quran,the prophets interaction with the Jewish and Christian communities. When they saw the prophet God claims that they realized that he was in fact a prophet. That is confirmed in their scriptures but realized that if they do say that loud then they will be in a heap of trouble by their own people. So, they chose the easier road of not saying it. In other words they hid the truth so the Quran does not call them disbelievers, it says,
"Allazeena Kafaru lil Ahl il Kitabi" meaning,"those who disbelieved among the people of the book" .
There were people of the book who hadn't realized that he is the prophet og f God yet hadn't found out confirmation. He didn't call them disbelievers yet. He just called them. people of the book. Those who were within the people of the book knew their scripture,investigated the prophet's character, looked at what he had to say and came to the conclusion that he was in fact a prophet and then rejected him and the Quran goes out of it's way un-apologetically and calls them disbelievers. The word "infidel" I dont even know where it came from but Kafir literally means "disbeliever", those who refuses to believe or those who refuses the truth knowingly and that term is used for that brand of that specific group within the people of the book and that is why the word "min' in the surah"Bayyinah" is so critical (He mentions the verse in Surah Bayyinah(98:1)and continues) from out of the people of the book and those even the idol worshippers-they never rejected Islam, they never knew about it. But those who saw it, saw the truth in it, were convinced of it and still did not come to it are Kuffar, deniers and non believers. Actually, non believers is not a good translation which means " Gayru" mumin" as non believers but "Kafara"means in Arabic means denying the truth or hiding it. It is an oversimplification on the Muslim's part that they call all non Muslim as Kafir ,they have rejected the truth. Actually, they have not done yet rejecting anything. (He then says) "Calling someone " Kafir" according to my assessment and my studies of the Quran is unfair"
(Jews and Christians in the Quran-Published on Dec 23, 2011-(0:31-3:00)-Link-https://youtu.be/IlzGt0AbMjQ?t=31)
Saying that all non Muslims are not Kafir is clear disbelief and this is what Nouman Ali Khan has uttered in the above video which I have quoted. He quotes the first verse in Surah 98 to twist the real meaning of what Allah(Swt) says in the verse. This is what happens when you do not follow the Quran and the Sunnah as to the understanding of the Shabah and the Salaf us saliheen. No where in the Quran or authentic hadith does it say that all the non Muslims are not disbelievers. This is a clear innovation of Nouman Ali Khan and has committed Kufr by saying so. In the tafsir of Ibn Kathir, imam Ibn Kathir explains Surah 98,verse-01 as follows,
"Meaning, they will not be finished until the truth becomes clear to them.'' Qatadah also said the same thing."
In the first verse in Surah 98, means that there are two kinds of Kafirs one are the Jews and the Christians and the other are the polytheists. The next two verses in this chapter explains this clearly.
"Those who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists were not to be parted [from disbelief] until there came to them clear evidence
A Messenger from Allah, reciting purified scriptures Within which are correct writings.Nor did those who were given the Scripture become divided until after there had come to them clear evidence.Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures.
(Al-Quran-98:1-6)
What is meant in the verse "they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell" means, all the Kafirs who rejected the truth and Allah(Swt) does not make a distinction between the Kafirs like the way Nouman Ali Khan does by following his desires. The Quran clearly says that the Jews and the Christians as well as the Mushriks as Kafir.
"They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the third of three."
(Al-Quran-5:73)
"They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allah is Christ, the son of Mary"
(Al-Quran-5:17)
“And whoever invokes (or worships), besides Allah, any other ilaah (god), of whom he has no proof; then his reckoning is only with his Lord. Surely, Al‑Kaafiroon (the disbelievers in Allah and in the Oneness of Allah, polytheists, pagans, idolaters) will not be successful"
(Al-Quran-23:117)
"The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of Allah "; and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of Allah ." That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved [before them]. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded?"
(Al-Quran-9:30)
"Those who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists were not to be parted until there came to them clear evidence "
(Al-Quran-98:1)
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - (fight) until they give the Jizyah willingly while they are humbled."
(Al-Quran-9:29)
The prophet(Sal) told a companion to go to the graves of non Muslims and give them the tiding of hellfire. Salim(Rali) narrated from his father,
“A Bedouin came to the Prophet (Sal) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, my father used to uphold the ties of kinship, and so and so forth, where is he?’ He said: ‘In the Fire.’ It was as if he found that difficult to bear. Then he said: ‘O Messenger of Allah. Where is your father?’ The Messenger of Allah (Sal) said: ‘Whenever you pass by the grave of an idolater, give him the tidings of Hell-fire.’ The Bedouin later became Muslim, and he said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (Sal) gave me a difficult task. I never passed the grave of an idolater but I gave him the tidings of Hell-fire.’”
(Sunan Ibn Majah-Graded Sahih by Albani in Silsilat ul Hadith as Saheeha and Sahih Ibn Majah)
This hadith proves that you can give the tidings of hellfire to a dead disbeliever in the grave with out making any distinction.
After clear evidence from the Quran proving that the Jews,Christians and Mushriks are Kuffar, Nouman Ali Khan rjects all these verses and uses his logic and his ignorant thinking to come to conclusions that all Jews, Christians and Mushriks are not Kafir.
2. Nouman Ali Khan fabricates a hadith
Nouman Ali Khan not only does he innovates new things in Islam like saying that some Kafirs are not Kafirs, He has also gone into fabricating a fale hadith attributing it to the prophet (Sal). The false hadith he narrates has no basis in any hadith book and Nouman Ali khan with out any fear of Allah (Swt) makes up a hadith. This is what he said,
"This woman,whom the prophet (Sal) told to pray in the innermot part in the home and when she asked to pray in the masjid and when you learn the story, you will learn a lot of fun things. She was in a troubled marriage. Her husband was super jealous of her like protective of her. He used to poke her while she was praying (the crowd starts laughing). Yup,ad the prophet called,and she came to the prophet(Sal) and in another narration it says, he poked me while I pray and he asked him (He mentions wrongly 'her"), "Why do you do that? he goes,she stole his surahs (the crowd laughs and so does the hadith fabricator, Nuhman Ali Khan)"
Nouman Ali Khan continues in this video by saying that the prophet (Sal) advised the woman to pray in the innermost part in the house without coming to the masjid because she has to save her marriage.
(Youtube-CONTEXT of the "Women Pray at Home" Hadith - Nouman Ali Khan-Published on Aug 5, 2015-(2:30) Link-https://youtu.be/bws53iOsDis?t=150)
The prophet(Sal) warned about fabricatinf or attributing lies on him
Narrated Salama)Rali),
I heard the Prophet (Sal) saying, "Whoever (intentionally) ascribes to me what I have not said then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire."
(Bukhari)
There is no doubt that women can go to the masjid even with out asking her husband and I have answered all the misconceptions and proven this point in my artile which you can read by clicking here https://cjislam.weebly.com/why-women-can-go-to-the-mosque-with-evidence.html
We do not know under what circumstance Nouman Ali Khan said this but even if we assume that he had said such a thing with out fact checking or any other reason, it is still a fabrication and he has not corrected himself on fabricating this hadith. My advice is, do not get fooled by such indu=ividuals who talk with out knowledge and do not allow anyone to take advantage of your ignorance, Learn the Quran and the authentic Sunnah as understood by the Sahaba and the Salafus Saliheen. Do not allow Shaytan play with your ignorance by allowing yourself getting fooled and tricked by deviant individuals like Nouman Ali Khan. Always fact check and demand for authentic reference from anyone who is quoting anything.
3. Nouman Ali Khan deviant veiw that Aqeada is not important.
Nouman Ali Khan is so ignorant and arrogant to accept the true teachings of Islam, he denies that there is a thing called Aqeada in Islam and that it is not important. This is what this ignorant man said,
"This lady came up tome and said."Akhi""you need to tell people" and she had a book "you need to tell people that they have to learn the correct Aqeada and this is the book of the correct Aqeada and you need to teach this book so people have the right Uloohiya, the right Ruboobiyah and the right Asma as Sifat because people do a lot of Shirk because they don't have the right Aqeada".Noew, I said, what book is this, Quran, is this Surah? No no no. This is the book of this,this, this chapter and this,this, this deviations that people have and you know what people consider Shirk and it protects people from these kinds of mistakes" I said" this is really complicated'. I am trying to study Islam and I am scared right now (The foolish audience who are equally ignorant like Nouman start laughing). I feel that I might be a Mushrik. Sha said,
"Listen Akhi this is important and do you not really know these stuff"
And I said "No I don't know it" and she said,
"Don't you wanna know?" and I said, No.And she sais, Do;t you wanna know the perfect Aqeada?" and I said, "Yeah I do" .Maybe I should find out where Allah talks about Aqeada in the Quran. We find the ayah of Aqeada? Uhhh there isn't one. The word Aqeada does not exist in the Quran. If that word was so importnat, it would be where? (The ignorant crowd answers" In the Quran).
So, I have this deviant idea and that is, the things that Allah talks is more important (the crowd laughs). I know it sounds blasphemes(the crowd again laughs)
(Youtube-Nouman Ali Khan Unveiled : Noman Ali Khan Said Aqeedah is Not Important-Published on Sep 21, 2015-(0.22-1:45 mins-Link https://youtu.be/mYoXqtIjkH4?t=22)
Nouman Ali Khan is so foolish and ignorant, he does not know that the word "Aqeada" is derived from the word "عَقَّدتُّمُ الْأَيْمَانَ"(‘aqqadtum al-aymaan) and also the root word "aqada" which means to hold on to. Allah(Swt( says in the Quran,
"لَا يُؤَاخِذُكُمُ اللَّهُ بِاللَّغْوِ فِي أَيْمَانِكُمْ وَلَٰكِن يُؤَاخِذُكُم بِمَا عَقَّدتُّمُ الْأَيْمَانَ"
""Allah will not punish you for what is unintentional in your oaths, but He will punish you for your deliberate oaths"
(Al-Quran-5:89)
Let us for the sake of argument agree that the word Aqeada cannot be taken because the word is not there in the Quran. Now, let us take the word "hadith" you will not find such a word in the Quran. Now, my question to Nouman Ali Khan is, are you going to reject hadiths because the word hadith is not there in the Quran?. The first thing the prophet (Sal) told Ibn Abbas (Rali) to tell the people of the book when he reachees them was to tell them to testify that there is no god but Allah which is a part of Aqeada.
Ibn Abbas (Rali) narrated,
The prophet (Sal) said,
“You will reach a community of the People of the Book, the very first thing to which you should call them is to testify that there is god but Allah. Another wording is, First call them to Tawhid (monotheism), and if they accept this, then tell them that Allah has enjoined upon them five prayers during the day and the night. If they accept it, then tell them that Allah has made Zakah obligatory on them; it should be collected from the rich and distributed among the poor. If they agree to it, do not take (as a share of Zakah) the best of their wealth. Beware of the supplication of the oppressed for there is no barrier between him and Allah."
(Bukhari and Muslim)
Aqeada is the name given to the important principles a Muslim should believe and those principles of Aqeada are mentioned even in the Quran.
"The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books and His Messengers. They say, ‘We make no distinction between one and another of His Messengers’ – and they say, ‘We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all).’"
(Al-Quran-2:285)
"And worship Allaah and do not associate anything in worship along with Him"
(Al-Quran-4:36)
In a hadith narrated by Umar (Rali), the Six articles of faith was explained by the prophet (Sal) when Jibril (Alahi) asked the prophet (Sal),
"Tell me about Iman." He (Prophet (Sal) said: "It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers and the Last Day and that you believe in preordainment (destiny), its bad and good consequences."
(Sahih Muslim)
After there is so much evidence to prove clearly the importance of Aqeada in the Quran and the authentic hadiths, Nouman Ali Khan is rejecting the idea of Aqeada and is bringing a foolish elementary argument stating that the word Aqeada is not there in the Quran hence, there is no such thing as Aqeada. This is a clear inovation and rejection of the most important thing in Islam.
4. Nouman Ali Khan's affiliation with deviant Individuals
Nouman Ali Khan is himself a deviant individual and his Ikhwani/Sufi ideology is clear and he fits the definition of an innovator as well as a person who also accommodates innovators.The prophet (Sal) said,
"Whoever innovates or accommodates an innovator then upon him is the curse of Allah, His Angels and the whole of mankind."
(Bukhari and Muslim)

Saying that all non Muslims are not Kafir is clear disbelief and this is what Nouman Ali Khan has uttered in the above video which I have quoted.

Nouman Ali Khan is so foolish and ignorant, he does not know that the word "Aqeada" is derived from the word "عَقَّدتُّمُ الْأَيْمَانَ"(‘aqqadtum al-aymaan) and also the root word "aqada" which means to hold on to. Allah(Swt( says in the Quran,
"لَا يُؤَاخِذُكُمُ اللَّهُ بِاللَّغْوِ فِي أَيْمَانِكُمْ وَلَٰكِن يُؤَاخِذُكُم بِمَا عَقَّدتُّمُ الْأَيْمَانَ"
""Allah will not punish you for what is unintentional in your oaths, but He will punish you for your deliberate oaths"
(Al-Quran-5:89)
Let us for the sake of argument agree that the word Aqeada cannot be taken because the word is not there in the Quran. Now, let us take the word "hadith" you will not find such a word in the Quran. Now, my question to Nouman Ali Khan is, are you going to reject hadiths because the word hadith is not there in the Quran?. The first thing the prophet (Sal) told Ibn Abbas (Rali) to tell the people of the book when he reachees them was to tell them to testify that there is no god but Allah which is a part of Aqeada.
Ibn Abbas (Rali) narrated,
The prophet (Sal) said,
“You will reach a community of the People of the Book, the very first thing to which you should call them is to testify that there is god but Allah. Another wording is, First call them to Tawhid (monotheism), and if they accept this, then tell them that Allah has enjoined upon them five prayers during the day and the night. If they accept it, then tell them that Allah has made Zakah obligatory on them; it should be collected from the rich and distributed among the poor. If they agree to it, do not take (as a share of Zakah) the best of their wealth. Beware of the supplication of the oppressed for there is no barrier between him and Allah."
(Bukhari and Muslim)
Aqeada is the name given to the important principles a Muslim should believe and those principles of Aqeada are mentioned even in the Quran.
"The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books and His Messengers. They say, ‘We make no distinction between one and another of His Messengers’ – and they say, ‘We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all).’"
(Al-Quran-2:285)
"And worship Allaah and do not associate anything in worship along with Him"
(Al-Quran-4:36)
In a hadith narrated by Umar (Rali), the Six articles of faith was explained by the prophet (Sal) when Jibril (Alahi) asked the prophet (Sal),
"Tell me about Iman." He (Prophet (Sal) said: "It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers and the Last Day and that you believe in preordainment (destiny), its bad and good consequences."
(Sahih Muslim)
After there is so much evidence to prove clearly the importance of Aqeada in the Quran and the authentic hadiths, Nouman Ali Khan is rejecting the idea of Aqeada and is bringing a foolish elementary argument stating that the word Aqeada is not there in the Quran hence, there is no such thing as Aqeada. This is a clear inovation and rejection of the most important thing in Islam.
4. Nouman Ali Khan's affiliation with deviant Individuals
Nouman Ali Khan is himself a deviant individual and his Ikhwani/Sufi ideology is clear and he fits the definition of an innovator as well as a person who also accommodates innovators.The prophet (Sal) said,
"Whoever innovates or accommodates an innovator then upon him is the curse of Allah, His Angels and the whole of mankind."
(Bukhari and Muslim)
Below is an image taken from Nouman Ali Khan's facebook post.

In this image, Nouman Ali Khan is with many deviant heretics. In the first image, he is with Tariq Jameel, the deviant Sufi,deobandi and Tabligh Jammat supporter. In the thrid image, he is with the deviant Yasir Qadi who is an Ikhwani himself and he is also with the authentic hadith rejector and innovator Javed Ghamidi in the fourth image. In the above image you can see the Sufi, Hamza Yusuf pointing the finger towards the Bayyinah logo in the sixth image and Nouman Ali Khan is also with other Sufis like Ismail Menk in the fifth image and Tariq al Ramadan in the seventh image as well and in the last image, he is with Zakir Naik who says that Allah(Swt) cannot do a thousand things(Astaghfirullah).
After posting this image, Nouman Ali Khan wrote a long post and he said,
"In the Qur'an believers beg Allah not to harbor these feelings towards each other. May He include us amongst those whose hearts remain clean of ghill.
On the one hand there are the people who benefit from the work I do and others whose contributions are far greater and far more valuable. I see the change people have experienced in their lives and sincere love and sincerity they have towards people like me despite having never met me. I'll run into people like that at a program or on the street and take du'as from them. I've been handed cards and artwork lovingly drawn by beautiful children who can't believe I popped out of a screen into real life. And I'm sure others in my place have experienced these beautiful loving gestures from our blessed ummah. I've met scholars, da'ees and activists whose love of deen and love of serving it oozes out of them and just being in their presence is inspiration. These are the gifts of Allah to our ummah and may Allah protect and preserve them, always.
Yet on the other hand I've seen ugliness in this ummah from a unique vantage point. I've seen an eagerness to be quick to judge, to make the worst assumptions, to allege without understanding the facts, to be waiting to pounce at the opportunity of finding another's mistake, to speak so easily and casually of the faults of another ripping their dignity to shreds as we bite into our meals, to dismiss and disassociate, to declare kafir, deviant, hypocrite, corrupt and more. I've seen enough that I can relate to many who are in this space trying to do something good for their community just give up and say, "I can't take it anymore, I don't want anything to do with this." I've met activists and Islamic workers around the world who've asked me the painful question, "how do you deal with Muslims and still carry on?"
Before saying anymore, I would like to clarify that this post is NOT meant, I swear by Allah, as a sliding comment towards anyone. It is however meant to defend some people. I've met with Dr. Zakir Naik. I love and respect him. I've met Dr. Farhat Hashmi and I love and respect her. I've met Javed Ghamdi Sahib and I love and respect him. I've met Maulana Tariq Jamil and I love and respect him. I have the honor of knowing people like Shaikh Hamza Yusuf, Dr. Yasir Qadhi, Mufti Menk, Dr. Tariq Ramadan...the list goes on and on and I have love and respect for these great individuals, the ones I have named and the ones I haven't. I can say with complete honesty that I disagree with virtually every one of them on one matter or another, and sometimes passionately. That, in no way, takes away my love and respect for them. If they asked for my help I'd stand by them because they are sincere servants of Allah and if I don't see eye to eye with them on all things and even sometimes fundamental things, the fact that they are my family in faith will not be shaken. I will discuss with them candidly, disagree with them, compliment them on the work that they do, pray for them as I hope they do for me.
It was Shaikh Hamza Yusufs videos in the nineties that while watching them I first thought to myself, I wish I knew Arabic. His videos made me laugh and cry and love Islam. I started praying more regularly as a result. I believe not a prayer I perform goes by that he doesn't get sadaqa jaria for. Dr. Yasir Qadhi, I feel, is like my older brother. I team from him, admire his rigorous scholarship, find myself in awe of his divinely gifted genius and truly believe he's an invaluable asset to the ummah. I've listened to hours of Dr Farhat Hashmi, Maulana Tariq and Javed Ghamdi Sahib. They've each benefited me tremendously and uniquely. I wholeheartedly love Mufti Menk. He's officially the coolest human being I know and the personal gift he's given me (that shall remain personal), I will be indebted to him so long as I live.
I'm not ashamed to say that I've benefited from these and more wonderful people. Some people like to think that means I wholeheartedly endorse all that they ever say or they endorse all that I ever say. This silliness needs to stop. Standing by someone isn't a blanket statement about agreeing with all of their ideas. I've learned from my non Muslim professors at the University. I've leamed from western academics writing research papers on the Qur'an. We have to grow up as an ummah and realize that knowledge and benefit can only truly be acquired when we bring a respectful, critical, inquisitive, sincere and transparent attitude to our teaming. I will continue to ask questions without hesitation, criticize without shame and benefit without worry of 'endorsement' but here's the thing. You won't know anything about it my criticisms or disagreements because that is part of my personal journey as a student and that is completely different from who I am as a teacher. Some people turn disagreements between public figures into something of a sport. Well I'm not playing that game. I will publicly speak about what I feel is far more valuable; the word of Allah, as opposed to what I do or do not endorse of anyone else.
I study the Qur'an with my team to the best of my ability. I try to teach what I've teamed to the best of my ability. You are completely free to disagree with what I'm saying. It is at the end of the day, a human attempt to understanding Allah's words better. I pray that Allah counts that effort as a sincere one. Take the good from people and leave what you're not convinced of. If you want to turn that into a crusade of saving the ummah from the mistakes of xyz, so be it. The rest of us have better things to do with our lives like worship Allah and learn something of benefit."
The above statement of Nouman Ali Khan praising the innovators prove what kind of an individual he is. It is a shame that Muslims are still listening and promoting the ahlul bidah like Nouman Ali Khan and the widespread ignorance and arrogance of the Muslim ummah towards the true Aqeada and Manhaj of Islam as understood by the Salaf us Saliheen as made them learn the heretical teachings of people like Nouman Ali Khan who praises people like Tariq Jameel, Jeved Ghamidi by calling them and states that he has benefited from them shows what kind of an ignorant and arrogant person he is.
He also praises the Sufi Maulana Tariq Jameel in another Facebook post and he posted the below image.

He also praises the Sufi Maulana Tariq Jameel in another Facebook post and he posted the below image.

Under this image, Nouman Ali Khan praised Tariq Jameel, by saying,
"Maulana Tariq Jamil is one of those rare gems whose love for Allah and His deen, his love for the ummah, and his incredible humility leaves me speechless. What an honor to meet him yet again!"
It is a duty of the Muslim Ummah to strive to learn the true Aqeada and Manhaj to combat these heretics who are calling to the path of Shaytan.
The prophet (Sal) drew a line in the sand with his hand and he said, “This is the straight path of Allah.” Then, the Prophet drew lines to the right and left, and he said, “These are other paths, and there is no path among them but that a devil is upon it calling to its way.” Then the Prophet recited the verse, “Verily, this is the straight path, so follow it and do not follow other ways.” (6:153) "
(Musnad Ahmed-Graded Sahih by Ahmed Shakir)
It is evident from Nouman Ali Khan's speeches and saying that he has gone against the theachings of the Quran and the authentic sunnah. Nouman Ali Khan is a promoter of ahlul bidah and mingles with other deviants like Tariq Jameed;,Ismail Menk and others ans praises them. Abu Dharr (Rali) narrated,
The prophet (Sal) said,
“You are today in a time of many Scholars and few speakers. So whoever abandons even a tenth of what he knows is ruined. There will come after that a time of many (ignorant) speakers wherein the Scholars are few. So whoever holds fast to even a tenth of what he knows will be saved.”
(Tirmidhi,Musnad Ahmed and other- Graded Sahih by in As-Sahīhah no. 2510)
True knowledge in Islam is a weapon that will help a Muslim to save him/herself from the brainwashing and indoctrination of caller such as Nouman Ali Khan and Ismail Menk and may Allah azza wa jal protect the Muslim Ummah from the ahlul bidah.
