Ahmadiyyat or Qadianism! Islam or Apostasy? — Page 119
Hazrat Imam ibn Taimiyyah, the Reformer of the 7th century Hijra was accused of infidelity and sent to prison where he eventually died as a result of brutalities committed against his person. 62 Hazrat Sayyed. Ahmad of Sirhind, also known as Sheikh Mujaddid Alf Thani encountered considerable opposition at the hands of the mullahs and at the insistence of these traditional enemies of the pious saints of Islam, he was sent to prison by the Mughal Emperor, Jehangir. 63. Hazrat Sayyed Wali Ullah Shah Dehlvi, the Reformer of the 12th century Hijra aroused such hatred and jealousy that the mullahs of his age accused him of causing innovations in faith. Some even demanded that he be beheaded and an attempt on his life was also made. 64. Hazrat Sheikh Muhammed bin Abdul Wahaab, the founder of the. Wahabbia Movement suffered the wrath of the Muslim ulemma when the custodians of Mecca and Medina denounced him and his followers as disbelievers and apostates 65 and even declared that their wives were no longer married to them. 6. Hazrat Sayyed Ahmad Shah Barelvi, the Reformer of the 13th century. Hijra and his trusted lieutenant Hazrat Shah Ismail Shaheed were both accused of heresy and infidelity as a result of which they were both betrayed by their own army and martyred on the battlefield. 67. Although these two illustrious sons of Islam laid their lives for the sake of their faith over a century ago, the contentious mullahs of several persuasions continue to denounce them even today. Hazrat Sayyed. Ismail Shaheed for instance is still accused of apostacy and those who doubt this despicable verdict against the revered saint are also held to be apostates. 68 62.
