*Ra’īs al-Mutakallimīn Ḥaḍrat ‘Allāma Rashīd Aḥmad Sawātī — teacher of ‘Allāma Sajjad al-Ḥijābī (former Shaykh al-Ḥadīth of Jāmiʿah Ḥaqqāniyyah, Akora Khattak, who taught half of Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī alongside Mawlānā Samīʿ al-Ḥaqq Raḥimahullāh) — encourages his students to read and purchase the book of Mawlānā Usman Iqbal Sahib, titled “Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Taymiyyah ʿUlamā’ Deoband kī Naẓar Mein.”* In the video, he says: ““Mawlānā Usman Iqbal Sahib has made tremendous efforts on this subject. He is truly a ‘مورچہ’ (fort) of knowledge, standing firm against falsehood and ignorance. This work is truly exceptional. You may not be able to read all of it at once, but make an effort to spread it widely. Especially when you return to your hometowns during holidays, or after you graduate, present this book to the ʿulamāʼ in your area. The topic concerning Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Taymiyyah is both vast and sensitive. Surprisingly, many Shuyūkh al-Ḥadīth remain unaware of key aspects of this topic. Mawlānā Usman Sahib has produced a remarkable and scholarly contribution on an important issue — one that many scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah of Pakistan, India & Bangladesh have unfortunately neglected or ceased addressing altogether.”
