Transcribed from a speech by Sayyidi Taajush Shari'ah - Listen to the inspiring and powerful speech here
Quick Links to Particular Points:

The Prophet ﷺ is alive
Unity with Deviants & Ikthilaaf from Ala Hazrat
Is Maslak e Ala Hazrat only pertaining to Aqaaid?
Refuting the usage of TV/Video
Who is qualified to differ in opinion?

Now what should I say? Mawlana Shu’ayb has spoken very well about Maslak e A’la Hazrat, and A’la Hazrat and Huzur Mufti e Azam e Hind, Huzur Hujjatul Islam, and the predecessors from the family of A’la Hazrat, particularly in regard to Maslak e A’la Hazrat. Take away from it what he said about me. I am nothing, and I say no-one is anything; whatever we are, it is due to following Imam e Ahl e Sunnat wa Jama’at and our dignity and respect is due to steadfastness upon his Maslak. If this does not exist, then there is nothing. And everyone’s links are fixed with A’la Hazrat’s links. And they are themselves attached to Ghawth e A’zam and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. He himself has stated:

بے نشانوں کا نشان مٹتا نہیں
مٹتے مٹتے نام ہو ہی جائیگا

The sign of those without a sign does not perish
*While perishing, their name will be made *

And what is Maslak e A’la Hazrat? What is the way of the people of Bareilly? Wanting Haqq, speaking Haqq, standing firm upon Haqq, staying firm on Haqq, and walking upon Haqq and preaching to others to walk upon what is Haqq. And there is no concession for anyone concerning matters of Haqq. This is the way of Bareilly.

Mawlana Shu’ayb delivered a very good speech, and he showed you in regard to the life of the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ was alive and is alive. Now, the point about the two lives is that when he ﷺ was present in the dunya, it is called Hayat e Zahiri (apparent life), from the aspect that his life was apparent in front of our eyes. Now he ﷺ has departed from the dunya he ﷺ is in his illuminated tomb, it is not that it is not true life. It is true life, haqeeqi (real), ruhani (spiritual), jismani (physical). His life is Zahiri from those regards, and it is Zahiri according to many Awliya’ and Mukashifeen. Imam e Ahl e Sunnat has stated it like so:

تو زندہ ہے والله تو زندہ ہے والله
مرے چشم عالم سے چهپ جانے والے

You are alive, by Allah! You are alive!
O the one veiled from my physical sight

Now those who cannot see with their impaired sight, it is regarded as Hayat e Batini (internal), Haqeeqi, Ruhani, Jismani. His life is greater than the lives of everyone who is alive.

انبیا کو بهی اجل آنی ہے
مگر ایسی کہ فقط آنی ہے

Death will come to Prophets too
But such that is only momentary

And Mawlana Shu’ayb has raised many points. And in this regard, he has said many things that are true per se.

الحقُّ مُرٌّ ولو كان دُرّا

The truth is bitter for many people, even though they are pearls.

Ikhtilaf with A’la Hazrat today is the illness of this era. 20, 30, 15 years ago, in India or as far as I have knowledge of, there was no-one who talked about doing ikhtilaf with A’la Hazrat. There were some in Pakistan but they were suppressed. Now, this slogan and these words, about Ikhtilaf are heard here and there.

You have heard the explanation of Maslak e A’la Hazrat. And clear distinction between truth and falsehood is a significant part of Maslak e A’la Hazrat. A’la Hazrat spent his entire life and showed with his books, with his Fatawa and with his actions that a believer, who is the servant of the Messenger ﷺ, and a kafir, who rejects the Messenger ﷺ; Iman and kufr; a Mu’min and a kafir, heretics and Sunni; deobandi, wahabi and Sunni cannot be together. A’la Hazrat RadiyAllahu ‘Anhu emphasised upon this and showed in his poetry and all of his teachings that there can be no unity between Sunnis and ghayr-Sunnis. Today, talks of unity are done with great force and enthusiasm. Unity between Sunnis and ghayr-Sunnis, Sunnis and deobandis wahabis is being celebrated in a practical way. And some movements and organisations are active in this regard. There is Ittihad e Millat, there is Ulama Council. And in some places there is the slogan:

لا سنية ولا شيعية اسلامية اسلامية

No Sunni, No shi’i
Only Islam, only Islam
