Muhammad Dihlavi had set up Shia Mutlabt Committees (SMCs) in a number of towns and districts.307Close Faced with the permanent rivalry between the APSC and the ITHS, and the obstacles which some leading figures of both organ-isations put in the way of his movement out of sheer jealousy, Dihlavi in early 1966 decided to elevate the SMC to a new countrywide organisation of its own, completely sidelining the APSC and ITHS.

This book was not only a rejoinder to the detractors of his Ahsan ul-fawid (see above), but a compendium of the doctrines of orthodox Twelver Shiism on the Imams and prophets, their miracles and their special qualities, as laid down by its leading authorities one thousand years ago.280Close Its third chapter dealt with the rejection of tafwz,281Close while its ninth chapter was devoted exclusively to refuting the accusation of Wahhabism levelled against him and his supporters, by explaining the difference between the Wahhabiya and Shiism.282Close But most controversial was the last chapter of the book, which started with the following statement (excerpts): After having refuted the accusation of Wahhabism against some Shia ulam it is now appropriate to disclose a bitter and hidden truth, namely that those professional orators who are denouncing the Shia ulam and muhaqqiqn283Close as muqassir or Wahhabi, and those (outwardly) believers who are caught in their net of falsification, are holding and propagating the false (btil) doctrines of the mufawwiza284Close and the Shaikhiya.285Close With other words, those whose doctrines and beliefs are nowadays understood and accepted as the Shia mazhab are not following the mazhab of the ahl al-bait, but that of the mufawwiza which was led by Shaikh Ahmad Ahsai.286Close Numerous great Shia ulam have proclaimed fatws against the Shaikhiya accusing it of of kufr, How did these corrupted beliefs reach our country, and how did they influence our simple awm? They cannot agree with each other on the organisation of the dn madris because it would be detrimental to their zkir-business They take fees of 100 Rupees for a majlis and make themselves ghzs of the word with expensive ab-o-qab, sumptuous pulpits and the art of rhetoric, but leave work and efforts for the people and prefer serenity for themselves 143Close, These were notably the views of a man who had some years earlier been referred to as the most sincere person of our qaum by the editor of al-Muballigh, the mouthpiece of the orthodox ulam.144Close In fact many of the latter fully shared his misgivings about the zkirs,145Close although they would probably not have agreed with the way he was putting ulam and zkirs into one basket. Since the early 1950s there had been ambitions to translate the old canonical books of Shia hadth, fiqh and doctrines into Urdu and have them published in Pakistan.256Close This was deemed all the more necessary because of what was perceived as false perceptions of Shia doctrines spread by the zkirs and professional preachers. The memorandum contained the following admonition: It is a need of the time that you intervene personally and confirm without further delay that we are entitled to our guaranteed religious freedom and fundamental civil rights according to the constitution which you yourself have promulgated, and the enforcement of which is your responsibility as the Head of State.193Close, Ayub Khan, who was at that time approaching the final stage of his contest for re-election as President against Fatima Jinnah,194Close replied in a conciliatory vein: since his government wished the well-being of the entire people without discrimination and fully supported religious freedom, he regretted that some complaints remained from the side of the Shias.

Thus in early 1963 the TAS leader Nur ul-Hasan Bukhari took an ITHS convention in Lahore devoted to the demand for separate dnyt as the starting point for a renewed attack on Shia azdr traditions.79Close His editorial in the TAS organ Dawat on 1 February 1963 articulated an interesting new argument against the Shia practices (excerpts): The TAS has been struggling for 12 years that no sectarian majlis, meeting (jalsa) or procession can be held in the settlement of a section of the population if it contradicts its beliefs. If the recommendations of the ten-member Board were not found to be approved fully, he would again call the Shias for a convention.398Close, The mood at the oratory sessions of these two days was one of utmost excitement and vindictiveness towards those who had not supported Dihlavis movement, as some anecdotes may illustrate: Muhammad Bashir Ansari told how Muzaffar Ali Shamsi had assured the Interior Minister that there would be no civil disobedience movement in Rawalpindi, disclosing that those who had courted arrest during the 1950 Narowal agitation had been bought for Rs. Protocols in Razkr 29/3435:112 (18 September 1966); al-Muballigh 10/8:2730 (September 1966); al-Muntazar 8/1415:1422 (520 September 1966); Payam-i Amal 10/8:2530 (October 1966).
