Hindi/Urdu: Is Muhammad Ali Mirza a Kafir Mushrik? Hindi/Urdu | Mirza Arrested (YouTube audio)


Introduction

Today is 30th August 2025 (recording date).
My name is Ali. While scrolling YouTube, I saw many videos on news channels and by YouTubers.
The trending news everywhere is that
Muhammad Ali Mirza has been arrested in Pakistan and people are discussing his statements on different podcasts.

But here, I will not go into the arrest matter.
Instead, I will explain:
Who really is Muhammad Ali Mirza?


Why I listened to him before?

At first, I used to listen to him because he spoke against grave worship (mazar-parasti) in simple language.
I thought maybe he was on the right path.
But later, I realized that
this is not the correct way to gain knowledge.
 Just because someone speaks against grave worship or superstition doesn’t make him a scholar.

Then I saw many Ahl-e-Hadith scholars exposing his errors — especially that he criticizes the Sahabah (Companions of the Prophet ﷺ).
When I looked deeper, I found they were right.
So I stopped listening to him.


His Biggest Mistake

Muhammad Ali Mirza’s biggest mistake is that:

  • He never criticizes his own parents publicly,
  • But he highlights the mistakes of the Sahabah.

He says things like:

  • Mother Ayesha (رضي الله عنها) did this,
  • Ali (رضي الله عنه) did that,
  • Muawiyah (رضي الله عنه) made this mistake,
  • Hussain (رضي الله عنه) was killed like this…

👉 In short: He digs out the faults of the Sahabah and spreads them among the masses.

This is against the Qur’an and Sunnah.
 Islam teaches us not to publicize the mistakes of the Sahabah because Allah has already promised Jannah for them.


The Qur’an & Sunnah Approach

Islam teaches:

  • Do not spread the mistakes of the Sahabah among common people.
  • Allah has promised Jannah to them.
  • Scholars mention the disputes among Sahabah in books and madrasas.
  • But they also teach us the correct approach: do not keep hatred in the heart, make dua for them, and seek forgiveness.

Mirza’s Real Agenda

He claims: “Scholars and books hide the mistakes of the Sahabah.”
This is a lie.
Books clearly mention these incidents and they are taught in madrasas.

But the difference is: scholars teach with wisdom, respect, and correct understanding.

What does Mirza do?

  • He distorts mistakes and presents them on YouTube.
  • He does it only for fame.
  • Because on YouTube, you only go viral if you add a “new spice” (controversy).

His Corrupt Approach

  • He distorted the Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jama’ah’s correct methodology.
  • He criticized the Sahabah.
  • He attacked all sects — Barelvis, Sufis, Shias — and even true Salafi scholars.
  • His tone clearly shows arrogance and pride.

👉 That’s why he is misguided.


Example – Ibn Muljim

  • Abdur-Rahman ibn Muljim was a Hafiz of Qur’an.
  • Later, he married a Khawarij woman.
  • She asked for the head of Ali (رضي الله عنه) as her dowry.
  • So he struck Ali (رضي الله عنه) with a poisoned sword and killed him.

Earlier, Umar (رضي الله عنه) had praised Ibn Muljim for teaching Qur’an in Egypt.
But later he became misguided.
This proves:
a scholar’s old praise doesn’t matter if a person later falls into misguidance.


Similar Case – Zakir Naik

  • People once praised Dr. Zakir Naik.
  • But later it became clear that he is Ikhwani and from Ahlul-Bid’ah.
  • On his official channel, he praises Sufi Ad-Daddu and the Khawariji At-Tareefi.
  • He has also spoken statements of shirk and kufr, without repentance.
  • He is arrogant — more focused on crowds and donations than real Islamic knowledge.

👉 Earlier praise does not benefit later if misguidance appears.


So, Is Mirza a Kafir?

  • His beliefs and statements resemble kufr and shirk.
  • But takfir (declaring someone a kafir) is not the job of common people.
  • Only qualified scholars and students of knowledge can issue such rulings.
  • Until senior Salafi scholars (like Shaykh Abdul Bukhari, Shaykh Arafat, Shaykh Fawzan, Shaykh Muhsin al-Abbad, Abu Khadeejah, Abu Iyaad, Abu Hakeem) give a clear fatwa,
    👉 we cannot declare Muhammad Ali Mirza as a kafir by name.

Yes, he is misguided, and his path leads towards kufr and shirk.


Conclusion

  • Mirza must repent.
  • Listening to him is dangerous.
  • The correct way to seek knowledge is through scholars and authentic books — not from YouTube shorts or 2-minute videos.

👉 This is the whole truth and conclusion.


Qur’an on Sahabah’s Status

Surah Al-Hashr (59:10):
 “Our Lord, do not place in our hearts any hatred against those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Most Kind, Most Merciful.”

Key Messages:

  1. Sahabah are beloved to Allah.
  2. We must not hold hatred, envy, or criticism against them.
  3. Even if they made mistakes, we are commanded to forgive and respect them.
  4. Allah has promised them Jannah (Qur’an 9:100).
  5. Prophet ﷺ said: “Do not abuse my Companions.” (Sahih Bukhari 3673, Sahih Muslim 2540)
  6. Ali (رضي الله عنه) and others were promised Jannah explicitly.

Final Summary (Simple English)

  1. Muhammad Ali Mirza was arrested in Pakistan, but the real issue is his beliefs and teachings.
  2. He became popular for speaking against grave worship but later exposed himself by criticizing the Sahabah.
  3. His main mistake: he never speaks about his parents’ faults but publicly highlights Sahabah’s disputes.
  4. Qur’an and Sunnah command us to respect Sahabah and not spread their mistakes.
  5. He distorts issues on YouTube for fame and misguides people.
  6. Scholars say his ideology resembles kufr and shirk, but takfir can only be done by senior scholars.
  7. Sahabah are all promised Jannah and we must not insult them.
  8. Conclusion: Mirza is misguided and dangerous. Muslims should avoid him and seek knowledge only from reliable scholars and authentic sources.
