Husamul Haramain (Ḥusām al-Haramayn) orHusam al Harmain Ala Munhir kufr wal mayn (The Sword of the Two Holy Mosques to the throats of non-believers) 1906, is a treatise written byAhmad Raza Khan (1856- 1921) which declared the founders of theDeobandi,Ahle Hadith andAhmadiyya movements as heretics.[1][2][3][4]
The treatise is published inArabic,Urdu,English,Turkish and inHindi language and its pledge is mandatory inAl Jamiatul Ashrafia.[5]
In 1905, Khan performed pilgrimage to Holy Sites in the Hejaz. During this period, he prepared a draft document entitled "al-Motamad al-Mustanad" (The Reliable Proofs) in which he argued against opinions of founders ofDeobandi,Ahl-e Hadith andAhmadiyya movements for presentation to his contemporaries in Mecca and Medina. Khan collected scholarly opinions of thirty-three fellow scholars' verdicts. All of them concurred with his assertion that the founders ofDeobandi,Ahmadiyya andAhl-e Hadith movements were apostate and blasphemers. They also exhorted the government of British India to execute the founders of those movements for heresy.[6][7][8]
The fatwa deals separately regarding each of the following:
The major Deobandi scholarsMuhammad Qasim Nanautawi,Rashid Ahmad Gangohi andAshraf Ali Thanwi were stated as infidels allegedly for producing blasphemous texts against Allah, Muhammad and theAwliya.Khalil Ahmed Saharanpuri then compiled a set of questions and answers and took signatures from various scholars atDarul Uloom Deoband entitledAl-Muhannad ala al-Mufannad and submitted it to scholars of Makkah and Madinah. The book consisted of agreed upon creeds of Deobandi scholars which in turn confirmed the beliefs ofBarelvi Muslims.[9]
Mirza Ghulam Qadiyani, the founder of Ahmadi movement stated as being outside the fold of Islam due to supposed violation of the belief regarding theFinality of Prophethood of Muhammad.
