INTRODUCTION...
It was a blessed and beautiful moment when the great preacher of Islaam, the incomparable orator of the world of
Islaam and the embodiment of love for the
Prophet Muhammad
(Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam).
Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Shafee Okarvi
[Rahmatul Laahi Alaieh]
had set foot on the soil of South Africa in 1976. The environs of the entire region were filled with the
remembrance of the
Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
by his inspiring magical tone of voice. Never, before him or after him, had our eyes seen such a splendid personality
nor had heard such a
spell bounding speaker. It was like what the poet has said
“His name is on everybody’s lips and everybody is madly in love with him”.

Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Shafee Okarvi [Rahmatul Laahi Alaieh] visited South Africa for the second time in 1979-80, and the welcome given to him here was spectacle. He was invited to far-flung areas of the country. Several meetings were held everyday and people would come in vast numbers. Wherever he lived, whichever place he went to, his personality was indelibly imprinted on every heart. The special traits, which the Bountiful Creator had endowed him, are not given to everyone. During the course of 40 years of striving after truth he made more than 18000 inspiring speeches, a world record so far. His memory is unforgettable. Our benefactor and spiritual guide, Maulana Okarvi,left this mortal world for his heavenly abode on the morning of the April 24, 1984, while engaged in sending Durood and Salaam to his beloved Hazrat Muhammad Mustafaa [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam]. |
In-naa Lil-Laahi Wa ln-naa Ilaiehi Raaji’oon
(To Allaah we belong and to Him we return).
The news of his sudden departure brought tears to the eyes of an unaccountably number of people and especially the
Sunnee Muslims of South Africa were stunned.The passing away of this commander of the caravan of the
Ahle Sunnat was not an ordinary tragedy.
He was the greatest asset of the Ahle Sunnat Wa Jamaa’at, he was an honor to the world of Ahle Sunnat.

Ahle Sunnat was not an ordinary tragedy.
He was the greatest asset of the Ahle Sunnat Wa Jamaa’at, he was an honor to the world of Ahle Sunnat.
After him, other ‘Ulamaa from Pakistan and India began to come to South Africa but none of them was able to leave the imprint of their
footsteps like he had done. The magic of his attractive style, the bewitching voice, the mode of address went straight to the hearts. The sweetness of tone, the awesome of personality, his simplicity and softness, the vastness of knowledge and the depth of his speech, all were exclusive to Maulana Okarvi. Was there ever a problem that he could not unravel or was there ever an aspect which went unexplained by him? He was, undoubtedly, a model to be followed. Eyes were searching for someone to reopen the chapter left unfinished by him. Ears were thirsty to hear somebody with his traits, with a glimpse of him. Nobody can be a replacement of somebody else, and Maulana Shafee Okarvi [Rahmatul Laahi Alaieh] was undoubtedly an incomparable saint. |
Haaji Yoosuf Husain Mansoor, a resident of Piet Retief, a South African city, was very close to him and he was a great admirer of my revered Hazrat Maulana Okarvi.
His son, Haashim Yoosuf Mansoor, was madly in love with him. He had heard Hazrat Maulana Okarvi repeating this sentence, “You have seen me. You should see and hear Kaukab.” Everybody knew that Kaukab was the eldest son of Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Shafee Okarvi ('Alaiehir-Rahmatu war-Ridwaan), but nobody had as yet seen him and everybody wanted to invite him to South Africa. Who knew that he would come here when our revered Hazrat will not be in this world? Finally, Haashim Mansoor somehow succeeded in making him come to South Africa and we, then, had an opportunity to see Hazrat Allamah Kaukab Noorani Okarvi and felt satisfied that the revered Maulana Okarvi had left us a true and worthy successor. Hazrat Maulana Okarvi must have prayed for him to prove worthy of his name. |
Hakeem Miyaan Nawaab Deen Sharqpuri of Raiwind, who died this year at the age of over 100 years, a disciple of
Shayr-e-Rabbaani Hazrat Miyaan Shayr Muhammad Sharqpuri (Rahmatul Laahi ‘Alaiehi), has said, "When Allamah Kaukab Noorani was born, Hazrat Maulana Okarvi had informed him that “Light had come into his house”. Hazrat Shayr-e-Rabbaani Miyaan Shayr Muhammad Sharqpuri (Rahmatul Laahi ‘Alaiehi) is the person who had one year before the birth of Hazrat Maulana Okarvi given this glad tiding to Maulana Okarvi’s father also, Haaji Karam Ilaahi Saahib, “Karam Ilaahi! More streams of light will flow. Streams of Allaah’s grace will flow.” The world has already witnessed this phenomenon that Hazrat Maulana Okarvi, who was born due to the glad tidings of a prefect saint all his life,spread light in all directions and dispelled darkness all around. Allamah Kaukab Noorani Okarvi is the second manifestation of Hazrat Shayr-e-Rabbaani's glad tidings. The silence, which had been prevailing since the passing away of Hazrat Maulana Okarvi finally, yielded to the pleasing and magical voice of Allamah Kaukab Okarvi. |
Allamah Kaukab started a new era in South Africa, within a few days he revived his great father's mission here.
He worked tirelessly and followed the traditions of his revered father of rendered revolutionary services to the cause of Islaam and to uphold the truth of the Ahle Sunnat creed. He remained in the midst of people and books, addressing several gatherings daily and engaging with the same devotion and contemplation, but with a freshness of its own.In five years, from 1987 to 1991, Allamah Okarvi was invited here six times. During this period, he visited Swaziland, Botswana, Mozambique, Mauritius, Re-union, Lesotho and Zimbabwe etc. He authored eight books, which were also translated into English. The series of remembrance-gatherings spread, the Sunnat (the tradition) of reciting Durood Shareef in masaajid before and after Azaan was revived, the practice of holding Eid-e-Meelaad-un-Nabee (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) in many parts of these countries was inaugurated for the first time. Branches of Maulana Okarvi Academy (Al-A’lami) were established, madaaris (religious schools) were set up. Thousands of workers were trained to serve the creed of the Ahle Sunnat, many people embraced Islaam and for the first time ever, the holding of ten-day Muharram commemorative meetings came into vogue in South Africa's province. |
Allamah Okarvi has to his credit another important and memorable achievement in South Africa. On Friday,
the 16th December, 1988, he personally went to Mia’s Farm, and delivered to the leaders of the
Deobandi-Wahaabi-Tableeghi group an invitation to a Munaazirah (debate) and Mubaahilah
(a meeting of contending persons or parties invoking curses of Allaah on those who deny the truth).
On the recognized principle of establishing the truth and exposing the falsehood he wanted an atmosphere
of peace and amity to prevail amongst the Muslim minority population of South Africa.
He had brought with him a whole chest of old and new books
of the ‘Ulama of Deoband. So that the beliefs and the acts, for which the leaders of the
Wahaabi-Tableeghi group had spread the epidemic
of calling us infidels and innovative, could be proved right according to the Qur’aan and the
Sunnat through books written by the ‘Ulama of Deoband themselves.
And thus the Muslims in this country could get rid of these
controversies and all may live in peace and harmony.

And thus the Muslims in this country could get rid of these
controversies and all may live in peace and harmony.
For three years continuously this invitation of Allamah Okarvi was repeatedly published in the newspaper “Sunday Times Extra.
” Allamah Okarvi had set only four topics for debate, which were also conveyed to the scholars of the Deobandi-Wahaabi-Tableeghi school of thought, with communication besides being published in newspapers. But the self-proclaimed “right-guided” ‘Ulamaa of the Deobandi-Wahaabi-Tableeghi school did not have the guts to face Allamah Okarvi and so failed to prove that they were right as they had been claiming. In August, 1991, after exhausting all arguments with them, Allamah Okarvi published in the same newspaper his last notice and made it clear that now people of the Deobandi-Wahaabi-Tableeghi school were confirmed hypocrites and without any foundation. The Muslims of South Africa will forever remember the favors done to them by Allamah Okarvi. By exposing the true facts about these self-proclaimed righteous people and by exposing them he saved many simple Muslim from going astray.ing astray. |
Allaah be praised! The name of Allamah Kaukab Noorani Okarvi has become a symbol of truth and a naked sword for every falsehood throughout South Africa.
May the Almighty Allaah preserve the determination and the steadfastness of this true lover of His beloved Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaeihi Wa Sallam), and may He make him a great benefiting asset for the Islaamic Millat! Aameen. For teaching Allamah Okarvi has given facts so that people would know as to where and why Sunnees differ with Deobandi-Wahaabi-ism, what are its causes and what is the solution to it? The book before me, “Deoband to Bareilly, (the Truth),” will give you details about all this. In fact, it may be called a revolutionary abook. Through this, you will also come to know the people who are redeemed. This book “Deoband to Bareilly, (the Truth)” by Allamah Okarvi was first published in South Africa in 1988. Since then, its three more editions have been published and distributed. It has been translated into five important languages. In the meantime, Allamah Okarvi’s book called “White and Black” has also been published, which gives all the details and makes its clear to everyone the reality of Deobandi-Wahaabi-ism. “White and Black” carries along considerable explanation of the points raised in the book “Deoband to Bareilly. ” Excerpts from books written by the ‘Ulama of Deoband giving glimpses of their blasphemous writings are also included in it. |
The propaganda machinery of the west, has misrepresented Islaam on a global level. The modern day hypocrites and Capitalists are roommates.
Their mischief is to extinguish the correct system and methodology of belief as followed by our pious ancestors and predecessors (salaf saliheen). Their aim is to harm the true believers (Muminuun) and general body of Muslims (Muslimeen) by propagating wrong blasphemous belief that leads to kufr. This is to destroy the Muslims by creating divisions. The Present day hypocrites are apparently saying that they are propagating Islaam but remember their inner motive is not the spread of Islam, but to change the system and methodology of belief as followed by the Sunnis. Stop the recitation of Durood –o-Salaam or Salawaat, Niaz, visitation of the Maqam (mazaar) of Auliyaa Allaah and to stop the love and honors for the Prophet Muhammad [Peace Be Upon Him]. |
