Abduljabbar Nasiru Kabara Islamic Argument
Some hadith recounted by Anas Ibn Malik, Bukhari, and Muslims, in Abduljabbar’s opinion, are critical of Muhammad. The allegations against Muhammad made in the Hadith are now being scaled back by Abduljabbar, who is also objecting to the Hadith’s context.
Abduljabbar was often accused of blasphemy against Ahl al-Ba, several of Muhammad’s friends, and Muhammad.
Every time Abduljabbar delivers a sermon, fatwa, or other form of Islamic instruction during Jumu’at congregation, he challenges everyone present, saying that he seeks a legal Islamic verdict debate against any Nigerian Islamic scholar who is willing to offer Islamic scriptural evidence that would support what he is asserting about the Hadith. Abduljabbar asserts that he objects to the hadiths that Bukhari and Muslims claim do not support them.
The Izala Society, Salafiyya, Tijaniyyah, and Qadiriyya in Kano State reported Abduljabbar to the state government, claiming that “They have come along with nine blasphemies, which were stated by Abduljabbar in his preaching towards Muhammad in video and audio format, which will serve as a reference that Abduljabbar is making blasphemies”. Abduljabbar was then detained by the Kano
The Kano State government will formally arrange a debate [5] between him and four young Islamic sheikhs who would represent the Salafiyya, Tijjaniyya, Izala Society, and Qadiriyya sects, with the late Sheikh Mas’ud Mas’ud Hoto as the Qadiriyya sect’s representative. He and the late Sheikh Mas’ud Mas’u will engage in a dispute.
Abubakar Mai Madatai, who represents the Tijjaniyya sect; Dr. Rabi’u Muhammad Umar Rijiyar Lemu, who represents the Salafiyyah; and Kabir Bashir Kofar Wambai, who represents the Izala sect.
Professor Salisu Shehu of Bayero University Kano presided over the discussion while being closely observed by Kano State’s Commissioner for Religious Affairs.
Professor Salisu Shehu, who served as the debate’s moderator, claimed that Abduljabbar refused to respond to any of the other professors’ inquiries. Abduljabbar, he claimed, “dug queries” by presenting unrelated material or arguing there wasn’t time to make references from the more than 500 volumes he brought to the table.
Abduljabbar Nasiru Kabara Criticism
Many disputes and objections were raised by Nigerian Islamic scholars from the Salafi movement, the Izala Movement in Nigeria, and the other “arika” clerics over his blasphemy against Muhammad’s companions and Muhammad himself.
His brother, Qaribullahi Nasuru Kabara, in particular, who rejected his entire faqih, rejected the accusations leveled by the majority of Nigerian Islamic clerics. Abduljabbar was thought to be the Kano State administration, led by Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, which decided to close Abduljabbar’s mosque and forbid him from giving lectures and performing da’wah throughout the whole state of Kano due to the blasphemy and the risk for anarchy.
The governorship of Abdullahi Umar Ganduje was also terminated. Abduljabbar said that the Kano State government’s decision to ban him was unfair in an interview with BBC Hausa. The state administration has refuted the notion that Abduljabbar’s school will be razed there in reaction to what they have heard in the state. Numerous Islamic experts from Nigeria claim that Abduljabbar led many Muslims astray.
