❖ Question​

There has been division within the community. Kindly inform us which of the following groups is closest to the Qur’an and Hadith in its position:


◄ Jamiat Ahl-e-Hadith
◄ Markaz ad-Da’wah wal-Irshad
◄ Maulana Abdul Qadir Rupuri
◄ Abdur Rahman Jehlmi
◄ Maulana Abdur Rahman
◄ Tanzeem Ghuraba

❖ Answer​

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. To proceed:


In response to this question, a detailed correspondence of 16 letters between Amanullah Abdullah (Nazim of Jamaat al-Muslimeen, Punjab) and Hafiz Abdul Manan Nurpuri is presented. This exchange extensively discussed the call of Jamaat al-Muslimeen, its registered status, and the Shar‘i legitimacy of such a group.

✿ Summary and Sequence of Correspondence​

Letter 1: Amanullah Abdullah to Hafiz Abdul Manan Nurpuri​

• Invites him to join Jamaat al-Muslimeen.
• Justification: The group needs scholars like him to establish Khilafah.

Response by Hafiz Abdul Manan Nurpuri:

• Stated that inviting someone based on organizational needs is not Shar‘i.
• Asked a critical question:
  
  Is this invitation a call to Allah and His Messenger ﷺ, or merely a party-based necessity?
  
  
• Cited the Hadith:
  
  {الدِّينُ النَّصِيحَةُ} – Religion is sincere advice.
  {وَالنُّصْحُ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ} – Sincerity is due to every Muslim.
  [Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, Kitāb al-Īmān]
  

Letter 2: Amanullah Abdullah’s Reply​

• Claimed that Jamaat al-Muslimeen is upon the truth for revival of the Khilafah.
• Left Ahl-e-Hadith due to perceived injustice, and saw truth and justice in Jamaat al-Muslimeen.
• Asked Hafiz Nurpuri to highlight any faults in their group.

Letter 3: Response by Hafiz Nurpuri​

• Reiterated the central question:
  
  “Is the invitation to join the registered Jamaat al-Muslimeen truly a call to Allah and His Messenger ﷺ?”
  
  
• Cited the verse:
  
  ﴿إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِندَ اللّٰهِ الْإِسْلَامُ﴾
  “Indeed, the religion with Allah is Islam.”
  [Āl-‘Imrān: 19]
  

❖ The Core of the Discussion​

• Amanullah kept giving general responses, repeatedly claiming that Jamaat al-Muslimeen is on the truth.
• Hafiz Nurpuri insisted on a clear, unambiguous answer:
  
  Yes or No — Is your invitation to Jamaat al-Muslimeen truly a call to Allah and His Messenger ﷺ?
  
  
• Repeatedly demanded that Qur’an and Sunnah-based evidence be presented if the answer is yes.
• Warned:
  
  If the invitation is not proven by Qur’an and Hadith, then it must be abandoned.
  

❖ Final Stage and Admission​

Eventually, on 22nd Muharram 1414 AH, Amanullah Abdullah openly confessed in writing:


“Respected Hafiz Sahib! The truth is, I cannot prove from Qur’an and Hadith that the invitation to the registered Jamaat al-Muslimeen is a call to Allah and His Messenger ﷺ. Therefore, from today, I have stopped promoting this group. I now invite you to pure Islam. Leave the Ahl-e-Hadith sect completely and embrace pure Islam.”

❖ Final Response from Hafiz Abdul Manan Nurpuri​

• Expressed happiness over the admission of truth.
• Made du‘ā (supplication):
  
  “May Allah grant us all the ability to truly understand the Book and Sunnah and to act upon them.”
  

Conclusion​

① The 16-letter correspondence clearly demonstrates that the representative of Jamaat al-Muslimeen (Registered) —
could not prove his group’s call to be aligned with the Qur’an and Sunnah.


② Ultimately, he withdrew his invitation and acknowledged the lack of Shar‘i basis for it.


③ The dialogue exposes the reality that Jamaat al-Muslimeen (Registered) was unable to justify its invitation on the foundation of Islamic texts.
