Interview
Wajahat Ali Khan
Syed Badiuddin Sohrawardy who is a renowned learned scholar, professor, engineer and imam was interviewed by “Aims International” on his arrival at the London offices of “Al-Mustafa Welfare Trust”. Answering the questions to “Aims” that Prophet of Islam said I have been severely tested by Allah! so such a way after his death, AhleBayt are constantly under trial since the incident of Karbala and this test has continued till today. The sad truth is that this bad behaviour was not done by anyone else but by Muslims. Allama Badiuddin said, although many people in the subcontinent have become Ahle Sadat by themselves, but a small number of Sayyids also came to India from outside world. But it is also true that there are a large number of “Banaspati Syeds” in the Indian sub-continent today. Allama Badiuddin said that the Hindus were very accommodating, and they welcomed every visitor from outside. If you see, the Muslims themselves shot arrows at Imam Hussain’s funeral. Allama Badiuddin told; the Prophet of Allah said that whoever changes his position (sect) has made his abode in hell.
Mr Sohrawardy said, “My father was also a religious scholar and a journalist too, he also worked with Agha Shorish Kashmiri, Maulana Zafar Ali Khan and Majeed Nizami Sahib.”
Answering the question, he said that there is no big difference between Sufism and Sharia, Sharia keeps the outward and Sufism on the right path and clean from inside of human, I would say, there is no hatred in the Sharia of the Prophet of Islam. He said that the reason behind our plight is that the Muslims are thinking that this world is not made for us but for the infidels, so, because the clerics have brought us to this stage by threatening us from hell, although the fact is that a person who does not make this world a paradise cannot attain paradise in the hereafter. Indeed, this world is the same for us as everyone else, but due to misunderstanding of religion, Muslims are going backwards from the rest of the world.
Mr. Sohrawardy said, “Though I belong to Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat, but personally, does not like communalism because the main reason for communalism is politics.
He said that the rights of women and men are equal in Islam, it is not right to force women to cover their veils, there is a fatwa of Imam Abu Khanifah that it is not necessary to cover the face, in this regard, men should also be warned about the indecency of their eyes. Must be controlled.
In response to a question, he said that there is no such fatwa of Imam Ghazali that playing with numbers or knowledge of mathematics is a satanic act. He said that about three decades ago, there was a big noise in America and Canada to call Muslims terrorists, so I created “Muslim Against Terrorism” in 1997 to convince the western world that “Islam” is the religion of nature and peace. Organized to tell them
It should be noted that terrorists are sinners and criminals, “Islam” has nothing to do with them. Then in 2000, I also established the “Islamic Supreme Council” to gather our youth and teach them the correct religion and to tell the world that “Islam” does not hate infidels, nor we hate Christianity or hate Judaism but we only hate evilness, we believe that the whole of humanity is the Ummah of Muhammad (peace be upon him) because the Qur’an itself says that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent as a prophet to all of humanity
Allama Badiuddin Sohrawardy praised the works done by “Al-Mustafa Welfare Trust” for the suffering humanity and said that this charity is serving humanity all over the world, and the whole philosophy of “Islam” is also that of loving humanity without discrimination. He said that Islam is a very open religion, it believes in justice and provision of necessities of life to people and advises to do justice to enemy as well, because no one can worship if he is hungry. He said that I also highly appreciate Abdul Sattar Edhi (late) because he worked only for humanity and sacrificing everything.
In response to a question, Allama Badiuddin Sohrawardy said; the sad situation today is that the number of mosques is increasing faster than the spread of Islam,the obvious reason for this is that clerics cannot attract anyone to Islam by giving long speeches in mosques.

A direct descendant (Sayyid) of Muhammad, Soharwardy studied Islam at Dar-ul-Aloom Soharwardia, a traditional Islamic madrasah founded by his father Allama Syed Riazuddin Soharwardy, the imam of the Jamia Baghdadi Masjid in Karachi, Pakistan. His grandfather Syed Jalaluddin Chishty had been the Grand Mufti of Kashmir before moving to Amritsar in India to become the head of Dar-ul-Aloom Nizamiah Sirajiah in the wake of the Partition of India. After earning a B.A. in Islamic Studies from the University of Karachi and a degree in electrical engineering from NED University of Engineering and Technology in Karachi, he later earned a M.Sc. in management engineering from New Jersey Institute of Technology and a M.Eng. in project management from the University of Calgary, he is certified as a project manager from Project Management Institute.

Mr Soharwardy has authored papers on information technology management, Islamic beliefs, challenges for Muslims in the Western world, conflicts within the Muslim community and interreligious conflict.

Soharwardy is a Sufi and has the Ijazah (certificate) in Soharwardy, Qadiriyya, and Chistiyya Sufi orders from his Murshid.
His brother Fasihuddin Soharwardi is also a well-known naat recitor. In August 2014, after publicly noting that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) is actively recruiting in Canada and calling on Canadian and western authorities to intensify the fight against jihadist movements, Soharwardy received death threats from ISIL supporters. In March 2015, Soharwardy issued a fatwa against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant stating that what they teach violates the Quran and declaring that they are not Muslim stating: “I want to create awareness about the nature of their work — they are using Islam, they are quoting Qur’an, they look like Muslims, they pray like Muslims but they are not Muslim. They are deviant people, and they are doing exactly everything which goes against Islam. He went on to call them Khawarij, a derogatory Arabic word for “outsiders” that refers to a violent, heretical spinoff of Islam that emerged shortly after the religion’s 7th-century founding. 37 other Muslim leaders in Canada also signed the fatwa.
