Introduction

The perverted and filth minds of the Anti Ahmadis is such that they begin mix their Shaytani minds with what they read. They claim that Hazrat Hakeem-ul-Ummat Maulvi Noor-ud-Deen(RA) (nauzbillah) encouraged a boy to display homosexuality with another boy. This article completely debunks such an allegation.

Where the Anti Ahmadis have lied

Lie #1

The first lie they did is when they translated the passage, they didn’t translate it fully and mistranslated a lot of the words. If the full incident is read in totality, then it is clear there is nothing wrong.

Lie # 2

It is stated that incident was during the days when he was student.(Talib e ilm) however the Anti-Ahmadis make the false claim that he was promoting it when he was not a student to heighten the level of hysteria about this passage.

The Full passage with Correct Translation

“The second topic which I found very strange at Rampur was that a student was my friend [there]. He became somewhat slothful in his studies. I inquired concerning what the reason for this was. Thereupon he said that I have become an admirer of a charming boy. Except when I see him, I feel affliction in the heart, and a meeting with him cannot be facilitated. That is why I cannot study. After hearing this I boldly stood up and went to this boy. I also took my friend along with me, and said to that boy that this is my friend, he has become an admirer of yours, that is why he cannot focus on his studies, and it is my wish that there is no damage done to his studies. Therefore, I make a request for him that he comes to you after Asr, and after sitting at your shop till the evening, he leaves at Maghrib. Due to my request, you should accept this. Due to this boldness of mine, this pious boy was amazed, and said very well he may come. It was ascertained from this that whichever man does anything for the sake of Allah alone. God Almighty certainly grants blessings in it.”

Congruence with Ahadith

Hadith #1

“‏ أَنَّ رَجُلاً زَارَ أَخًا لَهُ فِي قَرْيَةٍ أُخْرَى فَأَرْصَدَ اللَّهُ لَهُ عَلَى مَدْرَجَتِهِ مَلَكًا فَلَمَّا أَتَى عَلَيْهِ قَالَ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ قَالَ أُرِيدُ أَخًا لِي فِي هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَلْ لَكَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ تَرُبُّهَا قَالَ لاَ غَيْرَ أَنِّي أَحْبَبْتُهُ فِي اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَإِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَبَّكَ كَمَا أَحْبَبْتَهُ فِيهِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) as saying:

A person visited his brother in another town and Allah deputed an Angel to wait for him on his way and when he came to him he said: Where do you intend to go? He said: I intend to go to my brother in this town. He said: Have you done any favour to him (the repayment of which you intend to get)? He said: No, excepting this that I love him for the sake of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious. Thereupon he said: I am a messenger to you from, Allah: (to inform you) that Allah loves you as you love him (for His sake).
Sahih Muslim 2567a²

The chapter heading of this hadith is quite literally “The Virtue Of Love For The Sake Of Allah, May He Be Exalted”

Hadith #2

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ إِذَا أَحَبَّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ فَلْيُعْلِمْهُ أَنَّهُ أَحَبَّهُ‏.‏

Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 543 – Hasan Sahih⁴

Hadith #6

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever possesses the following three qualities will have the sweetness (delight) of faith:

1. The one to whom Allah and His Apostle becomes dearer than anything else.

3. Who hates to revert to Atheism (disbelief) as he hates to be thrown into the fire.”
Sahih al-Bukhari 16⁷

Modern Western Society makes fun of Platonic Male Friendships

A Vice Reporter Matt Shea was invited on a podcast with Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate and the topic of platonic male relationships was raised and Tristan Tate explains how Platonic Male Relationships/love are demonized/homosexualized by modern society and gives example of the literary writer Alexander Dumas. ⁸

Other cultures

Even in other cultures, certain aspects of Platonic Male Friendships may seem “gay” to others but they are not. For example, in Pakistani and Arab Culture there is nothing wrong with men holding hands and this has no sexual undertones.

Hazrat Maulvi Noor-ud-Deen(RA)’s strong stance against Sodomy

Khalifa Awwal’s response :
لوطی اور لواطت کرنے والا قتل کا مستحق ہے۔اگر حکومت اسلام ہو اور مرتکب لواطت ضرور کافر ہے۔
(الحکم نمبر15جلد7،24اپریل1903ء صفحہ5-6

Khalifa Awwal: The doer and receiver of sodomy are deserving of being killed if there is an Islamic government and the doer of Lawatat(gay intercourse) is definitely kafir
Al-Hakam April 24, 1903, page 5⁹

Can someone with such a strong response to Sodomy ever encourage Homosexuality? Hazrat Khalifatul-Maseeh Awwal(RA)’s statement on Sodomy is in line with the Ahadith and the Bible.

“Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Lut, kill the one who does it, and the one to whom it is done.
Sunan Ibn Majah 2561¹⁰

“If a man also lie with mankind as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death: their blood shall be upon them.
Leviticus 20:13¹¹

Deobandis can’t make this allegation without shooting themselves in foot

Mawlana Mansoor Ali Khan narrates

“I fell in love with a boy and was so much gripped in his love, that day and night I was lost in his thought. My condition became bad and could not concentrate in my work. Hazrat ( Mawlana Qasim Nanotvee) came to know this through his wisdom . Subhan Allah , this is called ‘training and guidance’ that Mawlana became informal with me and treated me like his friend and asked me “ does he ( the young boy) comes to you”. I was shy and did not speak anything. Mawlana said “brother, this type of situation occurs on Human being, there is no need to hide. Mawlana talked to me in such a nice manner that I admitted my love (for the young boy) and Mawlana did not become angry.

( Arwahe Salasa. Page 245 – 246)¹

The story continues
“ When my situation went out of control and I was lost in the love of that young boy then I decided to appear in front of Mawlana Qasim Nanotvee and said” Hazrat! For the sake of Allah, help me. I am fed up from this Please make a dua that the love of this young boy goes away from my heart. Mawlana ( Qasim Nanotvee) laughed and said” Was that all ? Are you tired, lost your spirit? I replied’ Hazrat I am of no use now. Please help me. Hazrat replied” Alright. Be there after I finish my Maghrib salaah’.

( Arwahe Salasa. Page 245 – 246)²

“ I remain seated in the ‘chatta masjid ( name of masjid) after completing my salah. When Hazrat ( Qasim Nanotvee) was free after completing his ‘salatul awwabeen ( salah recited after maghrib ) , he called’ Mawlana sahab” ? I said” I am here” and went in front of him. Hazrat ( Mawlana Qasim Nanotvee) took my hand and placed it in his left palm and rubbed it. I swear Allah, I saw with my open eyes that I am under Arsh and light and brightness has encompassed me, as if am in presence of Allah ‘! And I lost all love and inclination towards that young boy.
( Arwahe Salasa. Page 246 – 247)³
