Ashraf Ali Thanvi: Analysis

Ashraf Ali Thanvi al deobandi is one of the top scholars from deobandi cult. He is called as hakim al ummah meaning “the sage of the ummah” by the followers of the deobandi cult.

Few selections from books of this deobandi sage are given below for readers to know the mentality of Ashraf ali thanvi.

It is important to know that Ashraf Ali thanvi al deobandi showed disrespect to prophet in his book hifzul iman , page 7, where he compared the knowledge of the prophet with the knowledge of animals, children and every insane person.

For this anti Islamic writing, two hundred and sixty eight scholars from the Indian subcontinent and thirty three scholars from harmayn sherifain declared the fatwa (verdict) of kufr upon Ashraf ali thanvi al deobandi.


1. The day to day teaching of Ashraf ali thanvi has been collected and published as Al ifadat al Yaumiya. It is also called as Malfuzat hakim al ummah.

On page 255 of this book ( malfooz 410) Ashraf ali thanvi writes:

“The belief ( aeteqad) of normal people is not of much importance. Our Hazrat Mawlana Mohammed Yaqoob sahib used to given an example of belief held by common people. This example is indecent but it suits very well. He ( mawlana yaqoob ) used to say that belief of common people is like the private part of a donkey, when it increases it increases a lot and when it diminishes there is no trace of it. Indeed it is a strange example”




Indeed only a deobandi sage can have this type of example in his book!!


2 In the same book ( malfooz number 43) page 61 , Ashra ali thanvi writes:

“A man told me that he does not get satisfaction/happiness ( maza) when he does dhikr. To which I replied, there is no happiness in dhikr. The happiness is when sperm (mazi) comes out during foreplay with wife.”



This type of examples can be given only by a deobandi sage!!!

3 In the same book, malfooz number 49 , Ashraf ali thanvi al deobandi is condemning the reasoning given by naturist sect. In order to show that how reasoning cannot be justified he writes:

“Like a man told that he used to have dirty relationship with his mother. It was questioned to him that how can he have this? This is a dirty act. To which he replied: “what is the problem in this act? After all once upon a time my whole body was insider her and now only a part of my body goes inside her”.



Ashraf ali thanvi did not feel any shame in giving this example and how can he get ashamed! After all a person who can show disrespect to prophet can go to any extant!
May Allah save this ummah from these types of hakim al ummah and his followers!. Ameen!

4 In the same book page 212 (volume 9), Asharf ali thanvi describes an incidence about his maternal uncle ( mamu).

Ashraf ali thanvi writes:

“Abdur Rahman khan requested mamu to give a speech so that people can be benefited. Uncle did not want to give the speech so he told others that he will put a condition to be fulfilled before making a speech and since condition will not be full filled, I will not make the speech. People asked him , what will be his condition ? To which uncle of ashraf ali thanvee replied that he wants to go naked in the market, with some people pulling his organ from the front , others fingering him from behind and a group of children calling him bharwa, bharwa .” ( bharwa means pimp in urdu).




Indeed, thanvi saheb’s uncle had some innovative idea! But what made ashraf ali thanvee mention this incidence is another point to discuss!


5 Ashrafus sawaneh is a biography of Ashraf ali thanvi, written by his student Ajizul hasan.

On page 64 of this book there is an interesting discussion.

“Once I told Hazrat( Ashraf ali thanvee sahib) that I have one ugly wish that I should have been woman and should have got married to you. To which hazrat ( ashraf ali thanvi) replied that I will get reward for this thought”

Here we see that this maulvi gets reward for getting a thought of marrying ashraf ali thanvi! But as per deobandis celeberating mawlid, doing ithal e sawab on food and reciting salwat upon our beloved prophet ( sal allahu alayhi wa sallam) before adhan , everything is a biddah and will not give an reward!!

This is the true face of deobandism!

6 Asharf Ali thanvee writes:


“A very pious and religious man had this “ Kashf” that Hazrat Ayesha (Rd) is going to visit my house . This pious man informed me about his ‘kashf”. My mind gave me this answer that I am also going to get a young aged girl in marriage because when prophet married Ayesha Rd , he was above fifty and she was of very less age.

( Risala Al Imdad. Month of Safar , 1335 AH)

The wives of the prophet ( sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) is the mother of all the believers .

No muslim will even think of such dirty interpretation of kashf or dream.
But Deobandis consider prophet as ‘elder brother” and they say prophet should be given only as much respect as it is given to an elder brother.

What is the result?

We can see this dirty interpretation in which he uses the word” KAMSIN AURAT HAAT AAYEGEE” which will transate into” I will get hold of a young/ virgin woman”.

Lanatullahi alal kaazibeen .




Read this Urdu wordings from the pen of Ashraf Ali Thanvee

“ Ek zakir saleh ko maqshoof hua ki haqeer ke ghar hazrat Ayesha aaney wali hain.Unhoney mujhsey kaha. Mear zehan usee mayyan usee taraf muntaqil hua ki KAMSIN AURAT HAAT AAYEGEE., is munasibat sey ki jan huzoor sal allahu alaihi wa sallam ney Hazrat Ayesha sey nikah kiya to huzoor ka sun shreef pachaas sey zyada tha aur hazrat Ayesha bahut kam umar ki theen”


7 Ashraf ali thanvee also wrote ‘ behisti zewar’ ( heavenly ornaments) which contains highly objectionable issues regarding females. Deobandis have removed that section so the present edtion of this book does not contain these issues.

Insha Allah in future this topic will be discussed.
