HAZRAT SAYYED ALI AL HIRARI'S VIEWS. Hazrat Sayyed Ali al Hirari, a reputed divine of the Shi'ites also agreed with this view and stated: 'We take pride in being the subjects to a government under which justice and freedom are law, an equal of which is not to be found in any other government of the world. Therefore I declare that in return for this beneficence, every Shia should be grateful to the British. Government with a sincere heart and should appreciate its beneficence. '¹¹. THE SUNNI LEADERSHIP'S VIEWS. The officials of the Sunni inclined Jamaats in India also shared Hazrat. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's views. Maulana Muhammed Hussain Batalvi, the then leader of the Ahle Hadith in India and one of Hazrat Mirza. Ghulam Ahmad's most formidable opponents, often applauded for his courage in opposing Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, 12 stated in the official columns of the Ahle Hadith journal: 'At this time, all the conditions of Jihad are non existent. Therefore in. India, from Calcutta to Peshawar and from Sindh to Deccan, no one is at liberty to carry out Jihad against the British Government. ¹³ It is not permissible for Muslims to fight or help with men or money, those who fight against a government of whatever religion, whether Jewish,. Christian, or other, under whom they live in security and are free to discharge their religious obligations. Accordingly, for the Muslims of. India, opposition to or rebellion against the British Government is forbidden. '¹4. Maulvi Syed Nazir Hussain Dehlvi, another reputed leader of the Ahle.
