The Akhtari Cap

In the last couple of years followers of the Akhtari cult have started wearing a special skull cap which has a sign/ embroidery of a "Taj" (Crown), showing that they follow their leader Mufti Akhtar Raza Khan Rizvi Azhari, who is called " Taj al-Shariah" by his followers. Hence a cap with 'Taj'(Crown) showing their membership.

A Hindi movie named "Dharam Sankat Mein" is about to be released in India. Some of the characters in this movie are shown wearing a skull cap with the picture of "crown' ( Taj) on it. Akhtari cult members are objecting to it, saying it hurts their religious feelings. Saeed Noori ( A khalifa of Mufti Akhtar Raza Khan Rizvi Azhari) has written a letter to the Mumbai Police commissioner requesting to get this cap removed from the movie scene. Other Muslims have said, this special cap is not a symbol of Islam. It is not sacred just because it has a symbol of a 'crown' ( Taj) on it. It may be sacred for the Akhtari Cult but not for all the Muslims. Hence it is not an Islamic issue.

Fatwa on Photography and CCTV Camera- Jamia Amjadiya Razviya, Ghosi

Jamia Amjadiya Razviya/ Rizviya, Ghosi ( India) is a Madarsa under Molvi Zia al Mustafa Ridawi. The Dar al Ifta of this madarsa was asked two questions with regard to photography for supererogatory ( nawafil ) Hajj and visiting those shrines ( mazaar) where CCTV camera is installed. We produce the fatwa for our Akhtari brethern along with a photograph from the shrine of Imam Ahmad Raza Rh showing a CCTV camera installed there. We hope Akhtari brethren won't say that the installed CCTV camera remains off!! The answer given in the fatwa states that getting oneself photograph is haram e zanni and performing nawafil hajj falls under the category of mustahab (recommended), hence one should not perform supererogatory ( nawfil) hajj, if one has to get photographed. Akhtari brethren will say that our pir sahab doesn't get photographed every time he goes for nawafil hajj. He has kept thousands of photographs as a stock and these were taken just once, many years back. In cas

Akhtari cult released a poster for this function. We call this poster 1. Here is the poster Out of the many personalities mentioned on this poster we discussed two; namely Muhammad Owais Raza Quadri and Shaikh Mahmood Affandi (Mahmud Effendi) of Turkey in our article. The objections against Shaikh Mahmood Affandi were: 1. He often shares stage with leading deobandi scholars across the globe and accepts awards bestowed by the deobandi scholars. In 2013 deobandis bestowed the annual “Imam Muhammad Qasim Nanotwi Award” to Shaykh Mahmud Effendi.
