Syed Ahmad Barelvi Zitate

Sayyid Aḥmad Barelwī, in der englischen Schreibung Syed Ahmad Barelvi , war ein von den Wahhabiten beeinflusster islamischer Reformer und Führer der revolutionären Bewegung der Muslime von Nordindien im 1. Drittel des 19. Jahrhunderts, der Bewegung Tariqa-yi Muhammadiya . Er war Anführer von Kämpfen gegen die Briten und die Sikhs.



Sein Ziel war es, den Islam vom schirk der insbesondere in Indien verbreiteten Heiligenverehrung und abergläubischen Bräuche zu reinigen und die Hindus zu bekehren.Er führte seine Anhänger in den Religionskrieg gegen die Sikhs im nördlichen Indien und wurde im Kampf gegen diese im Jahr 1831 getötet. Die „durch ihn erregte innerislamische religiöse Bewegung [wirkt] auch nach seinem Tod im indischen Islam fort“ .

Er und sein Schüler Shah Ismail Shahid – die von ihren Gegnern als „Wahhabiten“ qualifiziert wurden – waren aus dem Naqschbandi-Orden hervorgegangen, die von ihnen eingeführten Reformen standen unter dem Einfluss des Jemeniten asch-Schaukānī .Sayyid Aḥmad Barelwī unternahm die Wallfahrt nach Mekka, wo er mit den Lehren von Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab und des Salafismus vertraut wurde. Im Gegensatz zu den saudischen Wahhabiten lehnte Barelwī den Sufismus und den Glaube an die Fürsprache der Heiligen nicht ab. Wikipedia

Syed Ahmad Barelvi: Zitate auf Englisch

““One should know,” he wrote, “that jihad is an advantageous and beneficial institution. Mankind derives benefits from its advantages in various ways, just like rain, the advantages of which are imparted upon both plants, animals and men.” Barelvi promised that if Muslims waged jihad, they would receive “the blessings of heaven,” including “timely downpour of rain, abundant vegetation, growth of profits and trade, absence of calamities and pestilences, growth of wealth and presence of men of learning and perfection.””

“My real object is the establishment of jihãd against the Sikhs of the Punjab and not to stay in the countries of Afghanistan and Yagistan. The long-haired infidels who have seized sovereignty over Punjab are very experienced, clever and deceitful… The ill-natured Sikhs and the ill-fated polytheists have gained control over the Western parts of India from the banks of Indus to the capital city of Delhi.”

“Barelvi’s confidence in a jihad against the British collapsed when he surveyed the extent and the magnitude of British power in India. He did the next best under the circumstances, and declared a jihad against the Sikh power in the Punjab, Kashmir and the North-West Frontier. The British on their part welcomed this change and permitted Barelvi to travel towards the border of Afghanistan at a leisurely pace, collecting money and manpower along the way. It was during this journey that Barelvi stayed with or met several Hindu princes, feigned that his fulminations against the Sikhs were a fake, and that he was going out of India in order to establish a base for fighting against the British. It is surmised that some Hindu princes took him at his word, and gave him financial help. To the Muslim princes, however, he told the truth, namely, that he was up against the Sikhs because they “do not allow the call to prayer from mosques and the killing of cows.”
Barelvi set up his base in the North-West Frontier near Afghanistan. The active assistance he expected from the Afghan king did not materialise because that country was in a mess at that time. But the British connived at the constant flow not only of a sizable manpower but also of a lot of finance. Muslim magnates in India were helping him to the hilt. His basic strategy was to conquer Kashmir before launching his major offensive against the Punjab. But he met with very little success in that direction in spite of several attempts. Finally, he met his Waterloo in 1831 when the Sikhs under Kunwar Sher Singh stormed his citadel at Balakot. The great mujahid fell in the very first battle he ever fought. His corpse along with that of his second in command was burnt, and the ashes were scattered in the winds. Muslims hail him as a shahid.”
