بِسۡمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِیۡمِ
In the Name of Allah, the Rahman, the Merciful
All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds
Peace and benedictions upon you, my Master, Apostle of Allah
The cunning method of the reformists who seek to reform Islam particularly its laws and social teachings is through undermining the fundamental doctrine of orthodox Islam, which is that the Holy Quran is the literal word of Allah that He revealed upon the heart of the Holy Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم through the Angel Gabriel عليه السلام
قُلۡ مَنۡ کَانَ عَدُوًّا لِّجِبۡرِیۡلَ فَاِنَّہٗ نَزَّلَہٗ عَلٰی قَلۡبِکَ بِاِذۡنِ اللّٰہِ
Say, “Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel, for surely it is he who brought it down upon your heart [My beloved Prophet Muhammad] by the permission of Allah”
(Surah 2, Ayah 97)
But the so-called reformists teach that the Holy Quran is in reality not the word of God but the words of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم originating from his own mind and thoughts! By making the Quran a text composed by the human mind and therefore negating its divinity, the reformists open the door to questioning its every word. I previously exposed the heresy of Fazlur Rahman Malik who attempted to open this door by claiming that the Quran is not exclusively an external revelation to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم from Allah but that it is “equally” a product of his internal thoughts and personality. Here we shall examine the satanic heresy of Niaz Fatehpuri (1884-1966) who openly denied the Holy Quran as the word of Allah. Incidentally, I previously exposed Niaz Fatehpuri’s praise for the false prophet and antichrist Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian.
Niaz Fatehpuri laid the foundation for his deception by redefining the term Wahi to involve the human mind’s internal power of thought which can only be said to be from God in the sense that God has created the mind and endowed it with remarkable abilities. Hence, Niaz Fatehpuri says:
اس لۓ ہم کہ سکتے ہیں کہ وحی خدا کی عنایت ہے اور نتیجہ ہے اس ذہنی قوت کا جو فطرتاً انسان میں دویعت کی گئ ہے
Therefore, we can say that Wahi is a gift from God and is the result of the mental power that is naturally innate in man (Man wa Yazdan, p.307)

Then utilizing the classical arguments of the heretic Jahm bin Safwan and of the Mu’tazilites, Niaz Fatehpuri presumes a conception of God that is at odds with Him being a being Who speaks, and says:
خدا کسی سے ہم کلام نہیں ہو سکتا نہ کوئی انسان اس سے ہمکلام ہو سکتا ہے
God can’t speak to anyone and no human can speak with Him (Man wa Yazdan, p.310)
Niaz Fatehpuri then quotes the Ayah of the Quran:
وَمَا کَانَ لِبَشَرٍ اَنۡ یُّکَلِّمَہُ اللّٰہُ اِلَّا وَحۡیًا اَوۡ مِنۡ وَّرَآیِٔ حِجَابٍ
It is not for any mortal that Allah should speak to him except through Wahi or from behind a veil
(Surah 42, Ayah 51)
Falsely interpreting this Ayah, Niaz Fatehpuri concludes:
اس آیت سے اس عقیدہ کی بھی تردید ہوتی ہے کہ موسی خدا سے باتیں کرتے تھے
From this Ayah the belief that Moses used to speak with God is refuted (ibid)

ؕ وَکَلَّمَ اللّٰہُ مُوۡسٰی تَکۡلِیۡمًا
And Allah spoke to Moses with speech
(Surah 4, Ayah 164)
The verbal noun تكليم has been added at the end of this Ayah for emphasis, meaning that Allah spoke directly and particularly to Prophet Moses عليه السلام
Niaz Fatehpuri summarizes his heresy by saying:
الغرض قرآن کو خدا کا کلام کہنا یا لوح محفوظ میں اس کا مرتم ہونا یقین کرنا صحیح اسلامی خیال نہیں ہے بلکہ مستعار ہے یہود و نصاری سے قرآن میں جہاں جہاں کلام اللہ اور کلمات اللہ کے الفاظ استعمال ہوۓ ہیں ان سے مراد خدا کا احکام ہیں
میں سمجھتا ہوں کہ رسول کی عظمت کا اقتضاء یہی ہے کہ قرآن کو انہیں کا کلام سمجھا جاۓ
In short, calling the Quran the word of God or believing that it was inscribed in the Preserved Tablet is not a correct Islamic idea, but rather is borrowed from the Jews and Christians. Wherever the words “Word of Allah” and “Words of Allah” are used in the Quran, they refer to the commands of God. I understand that the greatness of the Messenger requires that the Quran be considered his word (Man wa Yazdan, p.313)

Like other radical reformists and modernist heretics, Niaz Fatehpuri attempts to discredit the doctrine of the orthodox Muslims by claiming it has merely been inherited from the Jews and Christians. The truth is that the naturalists and materialists who emerged from those communities, unlike the heretics that arose from our Ummah, did not bother with a futile attempt to radically reform the religions and doctrines of their communities. They simply proclaimed their atheism, agnosticism or deism as the case may be and dispensed with the whole “enterprise” of religion. But the heretics that emerge from our Ummah do not simply announce their exit from Islam as one would expect because they have a nefarious agenda to distort Islam from within. This is because the satanic powers of this world see Islam as unique in the galaxy of religions, which alone poses a challenge to their diabolical agenda of secularizing humanity. They realize that Muslims, unlike Christians, Jews or other religious communities, aren’t about to exit their Religion. Ex-Muslims have thus far been unsuccessful in persuading any considerable amount of Muslim youth to abandon the Faith. Therefore, the more insidious pawn of the reformist heretic has been advanced, who persists in the durable Muslim identity but attempts to present a radically different version of Islam which might be more palpable to those with liberal, progressive or modern sensibilities but are unwilling to completely abandon their Islamic identity and their link to the broader Millah.
