Maulana Yasin Mewati was the Khadim (personal assistant) of Maulana Saad from 1996 to 2013 and accompanied him at all times for 17 years. He has given some shocking testimonies which shows how deep the rabbit hole and level of corruption is.
Assalamualaykum Brothers, if you have reached this page, you have gone deep into this website and about to go deeper into a rabbit hole. If you are not able to handle these kind of information, PLEASE LEAVE THIS PAGE IMMEDIATELY.
We have avoided putting these kind of pages on the main site. Please understand that this is a testimony of Maulana Yaseen. We have not seen any evidence other than this. Maulana Yaseen is NOT an authority in Tablighi Jamaat.
Maulana Yasin’s Testimony #1 – Maulana Saad’s relationship with a girl
The following is a very coarse translation of a testimony from Maulana Yaseen Mewati (Maulana Saad’s ex-personal assistant/Khadim). It was taken from a YouTube audio entitled ‘Listen to what Halima discussed with Setharam Sharif in May‘, which went viral in 2023. The testimony starts later at 4:47. The first part is some introduction by the content creator.

Coarse translation of Maulana Yaseen’s Testimony
[Maulana Yaseen starts from 4:47] Wealth and children are two major trials, and one can be utterly destroyed by them. Another significant trial, which is why we are all gathered here, is the trial of women. Whenever a murder or crime occurs, the underlying reason often involves a woman. As the saying goes, “Do not let the bee enter the garden, for it will not spare the flower; the moth will follow the bee.” This is a metaphor for how one issue leads to another.
The root of the current conflict lies in the trial of women. If there had been no conflict over women, we wouldn’t be sitting here today. If I had remained silent or quietly left Nizamuddin, this trial would have been suppressed. Girls of various ages, including some older ones, live in homes under the guise of doing work. They come from areas like Mewat and nearby regions. Families send their daughters here for education, hoping to keep them safe until they can arrange their marriages. However, they end up doing more work than studying.
When young boys and girls reach adolescence, natural attractions occur, leading to inappropriate relationships. I’m talking about common Tabligh members whose sole focus is on preaching. I don’t agree with this lifestyle because it lacks balance. People need to balance their preaching with their personal lives, families, and other activities. Otherwise, the imbalance can lead to moral and ethical issues.
In the Tabligh environment, if one neglects their family and personal responsibilities, they might fulfill their needs in inappropriate ways. The human nature requires balance, and without it, people can fall into sinful behaviors. This is why it’s essential to maintain a balance in all aspects of life.
In Nizamuddin, it’s common knowledge that there are inappropriate relationships between young men and women. For instance, there’s a girl named Halima from Mewat. Her family sent her to Nizamuddin for education, but she ended up doing more work. During his travels, Saad Kandhalvi took her phone number. Even during the sacred journey of Hajj in 2010, Saad was engaged in inappropriate conversations with Halima Mewati.
In Madinah, during the evening prayer, Saad called Halima and said, “My dear, I’m sitting in Madinah.” Despite being in the holy city, he engaged in improper conversations. Such behavior shows a lack of respect for the sacredness of the place and the purpose of the journey.
Saad neglected significant rites of Hajj, including Tawaf Ziyarah and stoning the devil, due to his conversations with Halima. He even missed several Fajr prayers because of his engagement with her. This behavior continued during various travels and gatherings, showing a pattern of moral decline.
This story should be a lesson for all of us. Such behavior is unacceptable, especially from someone in a position of religious leadership. It is important to recognize these issues and address them appropriately to maintain the integrity of our faith and community.
[Interviewer] Were you with your family?
[Maulana Yaseen] Yes, my sons were with me. It was their first journey with me. They were with me when the call to prayer (Adhan) happened and Saad’s was on his mobile. He said, “My dear, listen to this Adhan from Madinah. Now, listen to the prayer.” Look at how the devil led him to ruin the prayer. Now, the name of the one calling the Adhan is being recited, and he is listening to it on his mobile. They are not concerned about the sanctity of using the mobile for such purposes. Up until now, I didn’t know who he was in contact with. This was shocking news for me. Even his wife had heard the Adhan and prayer multiple times and wondered why he was so interested in this particular one from Madinah. He kept his mobile on throughout the entire prayer. After the prayer, he resumed his conversation with “my dear” and started reciting prayers. This mischievous person even turned this into a form of worship.
This reminds me of the book “Talbis Iblis” by Imam Ibn al-Jawzi, which discusses how Satan deceives people in various ways. In this case, he was deeply engrossed in his conversation. I told him, “Get up early in the morning.” If he didn’t get up on his own, I would wake him up, and we would have breakfast together. If he needed to recharge his mobile, he would ask the helpers to do it. The whole situation was frustrating.
We went for Tahajjud prayers, but he was busy with his phone during Tahajjud. They would miss calls and make them at specific times. Many boys were wandering around in the streets, and people mistook them for brothers or father and son. But in reality, their personal interactions were limited, and they had little contact with others.
Now, we put on our Ihram and traveled from Madinah to Makkah for Hajj. Throughout the journey, he was busy on his phone. Whether we reached Mina, Arafat, or Muzdalifah, he was constantly on the phone. He said, “My dear, I have found you,” even while performing the rituals. He was so distracted that the pilgrimage felt incomplete.
Previously, he used to keep his simple mobile with me, and I would handle any calls. During this journey, he kept his mobile and SIM card with him, recharged it himself, and had full control. One of the essential rites of Hajj is Tawaf Ziyarah. If missed, the Hajj is incomplete. We reached the Haram to perform Tawaf Ziyarah and threw pebbles at the devil. During Tawaf Ziyarah, we were far from the Kaaba, and he missed calls.
He called Halima again, saying, “My dear, I am performing Tawaf Ziyarah.” My mind was scattered, and the devotion was lost. We completed the Hajj somehow and returned to India. A week later, there was a trip to Raiwind, and I prepared for it.
In Raiwind, there was a host who served us from the airport to the airport. He was a Punjabi businessman and my friend. He brought a new Land Cruiser to the airport and took us back. When we arrived at the host’s place, he served us food. The host drove us, with Saad sitting in the front and me in the back.
In Raiwind, after Friday prayers, the host saw Saad’s inappropriate behavior with Halima on the phone. The host was deeply troubled by what he witnessed and shared it with me. We agreed to confront Saad about this behavior.
Saad was deeply engrossed in his inappropriate relationship with Halima, neglecting his responsibilities and religious duties. This behavior was unacceptable, especially for someone in a position of religious leadership. We decided to take action and address this issue appropriately.
After completing our journey, I went back to Nizamuddin and decided to distance myself from Saad. The behaviour I witnessed was unacceptable, and it was essential to maintain the integrity of our faith and community.
[Maulana Yaseen] We started our journey, knowing what was happening. We arrived and settled in a large room, where we stayed inside, with a thick curtain dividing the space. He prepared for Friday prayers, and as we went for Ghusl (ritual purification), the host sat by the curtain. Instead of reading the Quran, Saad called the girl and engaged in inappropriate conversations with her. The host heard everything and was visibly upset.
When we returned from Ghusl, we noticed the host’s troubled expression. He was a sincere businessman and had overheard Saadâs conversation. Despite the discomfort, we proceeded to the Friday prayer. The prayer area was a kilometer away, so we went there in the car. Saadâs face seemed worried. After the prayer, we returned and Saad resumed his inappropriate calls.
Later, Maulana Zubair also joined us. We were setting the table for dinner, and Saad was busy on the phone, ignoring everyone else. The host, troubled by what he had heard, wanted to confront Saad directly. The host called me aside after Isha prayer and expressed his distress over Saadâs behavior.
He said, “Tell me whatâs going on with this indecent behavior of Saad?” I replied, “You tell me what you know, and then Iâll explain the situation.” He narrated how he overheard Saadâs vulgar conversation with the girl, which even an immoral woman would not have.
Saad had two mobile phones; one he kept secret and the other was known. He used these phones to communicate with Halima. The host heard Halima’s voice on speaker and was able to confirm her identity. The host was deeply troubled and suggested taking strict action against Saad.
Despite the hostâs anger, I advised him to handle the situation calmly. We decided that the host would confront Saad, and I would support him. We agreed that if the host addressed the issue, he would not serve in future gatherings, and if I addressed it, I would stop traveling with Saad.
After a few days, on Monday night, I called Saad for a two-rakat prayer and confronted him. I said, “For God’s sake, leave this girl alone.” Saad pretended not to know what I was talking about. I firmly told him, “You should be ashamed of yourself for talking to Halima.”
Saad’s shamelessness was apparent. I left his room in anger, taking my bedding outside. I told him I wouldnât sleep in the same room and would send someone to stay with him for the next two days. The next morning, he acted as if nothing had happened.
When we reached Delhi airport, he apologized, saying things happen sometimes. But he never admitted his mistake directly. He only tried to justify his actions indirectly, which showed his lack of sincerity.
Later, his son approached me, expressing how his father’s behavior during meals was causing distress. The son asked me to avoid sitting directly opposite Saad during meals. I agreed but felt that this indirect acknowledgment was not enough. I decided to distance myself from Saad, knowing that continuing to confront him would only lead to more trouble.
This entire experience showed me the extent of Saad’s moral decline and the negative impact it had on those around him. It was essential to maintain the integrity of our faith and community, which meant taking a firm stand against such behavior.
[Interviewer] He only admits indirectly?
[Maulana Yaseen] He won’t admit directly, just like how Darul Uloom Deoband was deceived into thinking he had repented. After this incident, I left for Nizamuddin from the airport and then went home. I told him, “I will provide proof of who I talk to when I get to Delhi.” He didnât need to worry about it. Back in 2010, it wasnât so well-known, but now I was in Delhi and started thinking about how to gather proof.
I had a friend with good connections among officials, so I contacted him for help. I needed call details for three months, which is an illegal request, but Yaseen insisted. Despite the legality, my friend managed to get me the call details within ten days. The details were critical for a trip to Bangladesh. I told him, “Take whoever you like, but I will not participate until this behavior stops.”
When I reviewed the call details, it was clear. We had everything: calls with Halima’s father, her brother, their IDs, and phone numbers from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. We wrote a detailed letter explaining his actions without any leniency. We presented all this evidence to him after a meeting, advising him to read it in private.
I started attending fewer prayers at the mosque to distance myself from him. People began to notice something was wrong between us, but they didnât know what exactly. This continued from 2010 to 2012. Maulana Zubair, may Allah have mercy on him, once asked me about the conflict and offered to mediate. I promised to stay and work it out. I continued eating with him, but soon stopped as things became more uncomfortable.
He realized I knew his secrets, causing him to be on edge. I would sit directly opposite him during meals to make him uncomfortable. Eventually, his middle son came to me and expressed how difficult it was for his father when I sat across from him during meals. I agreed to stop sitting across from him to avoid causing pain.
A few days later, I went back to sitting opposite him during meals, just to make him uncomfortable. His son once again came to me, asking me to stop. The tension remained, and my constant presence at public meals served as a reminder of his guilt.
This entire situation was a test of patience and faith. We hoped he would admit his wrongdoings and change his ways, but he continued to deny and justify his actions. The situation needed careful handling to ensure the integrity of our faith and community was maintained.
Maulana Yaseen’s Testimony #2
The following is a coarse English translation of an Interview with Maulana Yasseen Mewati testifying Maulana Saad’s relationship with the young girl, his house and the reality of Muntakhab Ahadith.
Urdu Audio:
[Maulana Yasin] Before this, I might have already met you.
[Speaker 2] Yes, yes, yes. We just said that this is the level, or it’s not. Because your mobile number was read on it.
[Maulana Yasin] So I am a witness to it, such a big person, such a big man.
[Speaker 2] Yes, yes, by Allahâs grace we too are fortunate.
[Maulana Yasin] Establish a Sharia court, I will testify according to Sharia law.
[Speaker 2] If it’s true, then listen, listen. Then right is right.
[Maulana Yasin] No, thatâs what I’m telling you. The style of conversation was such that it led to this.
[Speaker 2] No, listen, listen. We donât know about this, but if you say itâs true.
[Maulana Yaseen] Give my number directly to the Emir, that who came from this number, tell him I am saying this. Call fifty people, and I will speak in front of them.
[Speaker 2] Alright, your words were relevant, your words were relevant.
[Maulana Yaseen] And if he comes face to face with me on this issue, I will serve you.
[Speaker 2] Of course, of course.
[Maulana Yaseen] And whatever punishment you give, I am ready for it, if he comes face to face with me.
[Speaker 2] Your words are true, if not, then your words are true.
[Maulana Yaseen] Yes.
[Speaker 2] We were blindly following him, see.
[Maulana Yaseen] I handed over the evidence to him in 2010.
[Speaker 2] Yes, yes.
[Maulana Yaseen] I caught him red-handed with my own eyes in 2010.
[Speaker 2] In which year?
[Maulana Yaseen] In 2010.
[Speaker 2] 2010, okay, okay.
[Maulana Yaseen] Yes, I handed him the evidence in 2010, telling him I saw you doing this.
[Speaker 2] Okay, okay.
[Maulana Yaseen] Yes, it has become an extreme matter.
[Speaker 2] It has become extreme.
[Maulana Yaseen] He spent millions on gifts, to get rid of evidence, this way he played politics. Indian politics knows it.
[Speaker 3] Okay.
[Maulana Yaseen] And I am saying this openly, and will keep saying it, InshaAllah. If I am guilty under Sharia, I deserve punishment.
[Speaker 2] Yes, yes, InshaAllah, we will meet you, yes sir.
[Maulana Yaseen] I have no issue speaking from there.
[Speaker 2] I am speaking from Uttarakhand, from Ghirdor.
[Maulana Yaseen] Alright sir, absolutely. You come over, my name is Muhammad Yaseen.
[Speaker 3] Yes, yes.
[Maulana Yaseen] I spent 18 years of my life with them.
[Speaker 3] Yes, yes.
[Maulana Yaseen] So I am saying, you may consider my words 100% false.
[Speaker 3] Yes, yes.
[Maulana Yaseen] But bring fifty people, and tell them you want to discuss this matter, calling Yaseen.
[Speaker 3] Yes, yes.
[Maulana Yaseen] If they say bring him.
[Speaker 3] Yes, yes.
[Maulana Yaseen] I am ready to sit and discuss and clarify. I will leave my home and serve.
[Speaker 3] Yes, yes.
[Maulana Yaseen] Establish a Sharia court, yes, in the Sharia court, IâŚ
[Speaker 2] Yes, yes, yes. I will send a representative to Brother Syed, Allah is Merciful.
[Maulana Yaseen] I am discussing one issue. I can discuss fifty issues related to their tribes.
[Speaker 3] Yes, yes.
[Maulana Yaseen] I started with Muntakhab Ahadith in 2005, I am asking him to talk about it.
[Speaker 3] Yes, yes.
[Maulana Yaseen] So, it’s not like that, but this issue which I raised, I am pursuing it. If there is something, I talk about it. They donât need me.
[Speaker 3] Yes, yes.
[Maulana Yaseen] Allah has caught him, so why do I need to announce everything?
[Speaker 2] Yes, before doing anything, if there is a bit of investigation.
[Maulana Yaseen] Absolutely sir, the girl is not married, she is 25 years old, she went away angry with her family, came back. Even today, she is not married, she had four proposals, none worked. She is in a madrasa. When this issue came up, she was hidden, not found. Many searched for her, itâs a big issue.
[Speaker 2] The issue is not small, itâs very big.
[Maulana Yaseen] No, look sir. Such a big accusation on any scholar has never happened, as it has on him. You might see his followers where you live, but when you go out, you will see the humiliation from scholars. Big scholars opposed him. In Bangladesh, all Ulama came out, thirty thousand of them. When they will go out of the Jamaat, Allah disgraces them.
[Speaker 2] Oh brother.
[Maulana Yaseen] You must have heard the story of Abdullah Andalusi. He didnât have many disciples, but you must have heard his story. When Allah caught him for his mistake, a man who didnât spend a single day in blasphemy, and openly challenged scholars, who do you consider him your leader by knowledge, acceptance, or what? On what basis do you accept him?
[Speaker 2] Our story is, we were all his disciples, poor people working, we did a lot of ignorance with them, statements, but today we realize your words are true.
[Maulana Yaseen] In terms of Tasawuf, he is not a disciple of Maulana Ilyas (RA), not in that order, people pledge allegiance to him.
[Speaker 3] Maybe.
[Maulana Yaseen] Yes, one issue is not the only one. I am saying, what perspective do you have, in this perspective, itâs a deceit.
[Speaker 3] Yes, thatâs the thing.
[Maulana Yaseen] The farmhouse I built, I sewed it with my own hands, I am a witness. What thing is such, I am unknown by fame, unknown by wealth, they had nothing when I joined them.
[Speaker 3] Yes.
[Maulana Yaseen] From 1995 to 2010, I was part of their journey.
[Speaker 3] Yes, yes.
[Maulana Yaseen] And after that, for two-three years, I remained so. So, sir, there are many things, whenever you come, we will talk.
[Speaker 2] InshaAllah, we definitely need to meet, and I need to ask you some more Quranic questions. When itâs such a big issue, Deoband scholars must be aware, like our leaders know.
[Maulana Yaseen] We haven’t discussed this issue with any Deoband scholars. Just like your call came, we discussed seriously, otherwise we don’t need to tell anyone about it. Look, Deoband scholars are responsible for knowledge, authenticity, and devotion. They keep guiding those who follow, this is separate.
[Speaker 2] Yes, thatâs separate.
[Maulana Yaseen] Yes, because going to them or any institution means they are doing different work, they have different responsibilities. Thatâs a different field, this is different.
[Speaker 3] Yes, you are right.
[Maulana Yaseen] So, if you ask them, they won’t have an answer.
[Speaker 3] Yes, yes.
[Maulana Yaseen] And for this, many things are needed, to speak in the court of Sharia, if a person is not upright in the Hereafter, it troubles everyone. The Prophet said, one who is wrong in the end, truth should be told, or stayed together or in business.
[Speaker 2] Itâs true, today we realized we were on the wrong path, we were misled.
[Maulana Yaseen] The Muntakhab Ahadith, the book of Maulana Yusuf (RA), isnât even his book.
[Speaker 3] Yes.
[Maulana Yaseen] Muntakhab Hadith, by Maulana Yusufâs name, he translated it, it’s not his book.
[Speaker 3] Oh.
[Maulana Yaseen] Yes, form a committee of scholars, if you find an author.
[Speaker 3] Okay.
[Maulana Yaseen] Thatâs my point.
[Speaker 3] Yes.
[Maulana Yaseen] In 1999, in Karachi, Pakistan, he paid scholars to form groups and translate, put his name as Maulana Yusuf (RA).
[Speaker 2] Oh, these things lead to chaos.
[Maulana Yaseen] Yes, I am saying, it’s not one.
[Speaker 3] Yes, yes.
[Maulana Yaseen] Now, if you ask them, they wonât read or say, it should be certified.
[Speaker 3] Yes.
[Maulana Yaseen] Not even a dot is certified.
[Speaker 3] Oh.
[Speaker 2] Itâs just a fight for prestige, and misleading.
[Maulana Yaseen] Yes, they can turn a dog into a lion, or a lion into a dog. They say angels descend there.
[Speaker 2] Yes, angels descend.
[Maulana Yaseen] Where did they go in Bangladesh?
[Speaker 2] True.
[Maulana Yaseen] Yes.
[Speaker 2] You are right, you are absolutely right.
[Maulana Yaseen] When they were being expelled from Bangladesh, where were the angels?
[Speaker 3]
Yes.
[Maulana Yaseen]
So, sir, there are many things, itâs not a small chaos, it’s a big one. Allah catches them, they are disgraced, scholars are dishonored. Remove them from the Jamaat, they donât even accept it. This is Allahâs system, removing them from the Jamaat. Two countries I visited, people respected them, they got no respect. Today, those two countries banned them due to corruption and deceit.
[Speaker 3]
Alright.
[Maulana Yaseen]
They ruined the Jamaat.
[Speaker 2]
They ruined the Jamaat and harmed the community.
[Maulana Yaseen]
Alright sir, pray for me.
[Speaker 2]
It was nice talking to you, I saved your number on my mobile. It was nice talking to you.
[Maulana Yaseen]
Alright, InshaAllah. Goodbye.
Maulana Yasin’s Testimony #3
Here is an English translation of the Urdu conversation:
[Speaker 2]
This is Muhammad Yusuf speaking.
[Maulana Yaseen]
This is Muhammad Yaseen speaking.
[Speaker 2]
So how are you doing?
[Maulana Yaseen]
Yes, I’ve been spending time since the passing of Hazrat Rahmatullah. Yes, I’ve been spending time.
[Speaker 2]
So you probably stayed with him during travels as well, like on Hajj trips?
[Maulana Yaseen]
Yes, I’ve spent time with him during travels etc.
[Speaker 2]
This writing is shocking many people, although older dawah workers know something about the questionable aspects of his character. But I’ve said this is your writing that you sent – you wrote this yourself, right?
[Maulana Yaseen]
This writing is indeed written by me.
[Speaker 2]
You wrote it yourself?
[Maulana Yaseen]
No doubt, I wrote it myself.
[Speaker 2]
Yes, yes. So there are some very serious things in it, I meanâŚ
[Maulana Yaseen]
Facts tend to be severe.
[Speaker 2]
While performing tawaf in the HaramâŚ
[Maulana Yaseen]
Facts tend to be severe. Truth is truth, sir.
[Speaker 2]
Yes, yes. I mean, performing these acts while doing tawaf in the HaramâŚ
[Maulana Yaseen]
Absolutely. I was with him and there is no doubt about it. What I have written as facts is actually because I had been observing for quite some time that some were telling him this, others were telling him that. And some were portraying him as such a great saint and leader that madrasas were being closed because of it. Abusive language was being used against respected scholars. I thought – a person whose character is questionable and accused, why is there such a commotion in his support? His reality should be brought before people so they become aware and alert. Those whom Allah guidesâŚyes, yes, yes.
[Speaker 2]
Yes.
[Maulana Yaseen]
We offer the Fajr prayer on SaturdayâŚ
[Speaker 2]
Yes, that’s true. But right now people are having trouble digesting the immoral character issue. But the issue of women coming to the markaz from different countries – this is as clear as the sun. I mean, it’s a very clear matter. He used to come to that area. People from many areas have said that our women were in distress, some were sitting there, and he would come.
[Maulana Yaseen]
Which area with women? The women’s section where Nizamuddin⌠the area referred to as “masturat”. Yes, yes, yes. I thought you meant some other area. No, no, he would come there. In fact, it was like this – he considered himself so great that he thought he could go anywhere, anytime. There were no restrictions for him. And people liked me so much that even if I went somewhere, there would be no issue. They would consider my visit as a blessing.
[Speaker 2]
I mean, his supporters say they were blessed with his visitation. And another thingâŚ
[Maulana Yaseen]
This is the result of visitation – that they reached a place where even a person full of sins, whose life is filled with sins, does not dare to commit sins. Allah gave them the opportunity to sin in such a place – for the Tablighis.
[Speaker 2]
Hajj is a very big thing for believers, and they did this on both occasions. I mean, well, you yourself witnessed this directlyâŚ
[Maulana Yaseen]
I am a direct witness. There’s no need for anyone else’s narration. Whatever facts I am telling you are firsthand, not from any writing.
[Speaker 2]
Yes, yes. I mean, an audio of yours had come out earlier as well. Someone was talking to me about this issue in the same way about 3-4 years ago when this matter was very heated.
[Maulana Yaseen]
Yes, yes, yes. Because someone got my number and called me, just like your call came. Yes, yes, yes. Because I don’t have your number saved, and I’m not so familiar with you that we regularly talk. It’s just a conversation happening like this. Since many people also talk rudelyâŚyes, yes, yes. Some even abuse, their supportersâŚyes, yes, yes.
[Speaker 2]
Yes, they have become like Barelvis – fighting, bloodshed. In fact, the first person to start fights at the markaz was from our dawah workers. Even speaking loudly is considered disrespect. The ones who started fights all over the world’s markaz were from his time. All the fights happened in his time. Police also came during his time.
[Maulana Yaseen]
Not in his time, not in his time. When he made his claim to leadership, to get his claim to leadership accepted – a person intoxicated with power, as you can see the political situation in many countries – don’t criticize us, accept us. If you don’t, then by force with sticksâŚ
[Speaker 2]
Actually, your writing has been very shocking for people because he had built such an image in society. But there was also a severe incident when he was young. You had mentioned it earlier, but there’s more about his youthful period of love in this writing. But long ago, he had harassed a woman who used to come to the markaz for work. He was seenâŚ
[Maulana Yaseen]
I don’t know about harassing any particular woman who came for work. But in his house, there was a group of girls who stayed there in the name of studying. Yes, yes, this is also true – I am a witness to his misbehavior with women who came from other countries. With whom he misbehaved, whatever he did. But I didn’t personally witness any incident of harassing a particular woman worker, when she came or didn’t come. But these were his habits, he was habitual of such misbehavior.
[Speaker 2]
Listen to this too – the women who come from other countries to the markaz, he will testify to this. 11-year-old, 14-year-old, 15-16 year old girls stay at his house as servants. And they don’t observe purdah with him and his sons.
[Maulana Yaseen]
Whoever comes to their house, whether relatives or anyone from their side, I mean from their family’s side, whoever is a mahram of their house, yes, yes, these 18-20 year old girls have no purdah, no Sharia for them.
[Speaker 2]
Yes, because his own sons were young at that time. His own sonsâŚ
[Maulana Yaseen]
His own young sons lived in the same house. There are many incidents, many incidents of harassment. One of his children – a woman from Mewat came with her husband. They had come for some work, it got late in the evening, so they stayed overnight. It was a winter night. His son went and harassed her at night. I got a call from Mewat from her husband saying this happens there. I said, “What small matter did you have that you went to Mewat and are calling me? How did you not have any self-respect? How are you teaching Sharia to people like this?” Such people are cowards and flatterers.
[Speaker 2]
Oh Allah! What can you say about this? You had made allegations before too, Maulana Sahib. This is my first time talking to you, but in that earlier audio you had made allegations about Sharia courts.
[Maulana Yaseen]
I openly announce that if I am lying in what I’m saying, you can arrange for him to sit anywhere. I’ve told this to hundreds of Mewatis who are his special supporters. Some come on WhatsApp, some call on phone emotionally. I tell them too that this is a case with two parties. I am one party, and the one I’m talking about – Molvi Sahib – in Sharia there were two parties and a third arbitrator. Sharia happens like this. You can arrange for him to sit anywhere and have me sit too. Whatever I’m saying, yes, yes, yes, if I’m lying in my statements in terms of evidence and proof, I’m ready to accept whatever punishment Sharia gives. Yes, yes, yes. Otherwise people don’t know what Sharia allows. People are saying that people have understood only this to be Sharia. Yes, yes, yes. What they are saying, they are considering his mischief to be Sharia. Some cap-wearing people who have been with him for 15-20-25-30 years, this cap-wearing group that has formed – they have only worn the cap. The incidents of him making them wear caps, in the intoxication of that capâŚ
[Speaker 2]
They have gone completely astray. Yes, yes, yes. People are saying to cover this up. I said there’s no question of covering it up. A person is complaining, and instead of investigating the complaint, it should be brought forward. Either prove yourself innocent or accept the punishment. What’s there to hide in this?
[Maulana Yaseen]
He’s saying to cover it up. Okay, Sharia says to cover up. My belief is that through whichever person the ummah is being misguided, a group has formed that is enemy to knowledge and scholars, who don’t let imams speak if they don’t agree with them, who remove madrasas if they don’t agree – to save the ummah from their misguidance, their things should be told so that the ummah can be saved from misguidance. This is my mission.
[Speaker 2]
This is also a principle of hadith, right Hazrat? You are knowledgeable, masha Allah. This is also a principle of the science of hadith that the character of the narrator from whom religion is taken should be clean. He gives speeches for all of India, so he is a narrator. When the character of the narrator himself is questionable, religion should never be taken from him.
[Maulana Yaseen]
And I tried to explain to him on every issue according to Sharia. It’s not that I said things against Sharia. When all these incidents happened with him and started circulating, and his shamelessness became public, and he became so bold in sins that he thought he could go anywhere anytime by just making a phone call, and thought no one could speak against him in this illusion – when these things spread and when people told me, as I’ve mentioned in this, I caught his feet in the gathering in Rewari in 2010, around 11:30. People who say why didn’t you say it then – the Quran says to catch the feet – did you catch his feet in front of him or not? If I’m lying about this, I’ll be his slave for life.
[Speaker 2]
It’s his ill fortune that the markaz which didn’t close in the 1947 partition, didn’t close in the ’62 war, didn’t close in ’65, didn’t close in a war like ’71, Delhi riots happened but it never closed – due to this man’s ill fortune that markaz closed and he himself is wandering around getting beaten up, going door to door.
[Maulana Yaseen]
And in return for my religious admonition, I got attempts to kill me, attempts to erase me from the world. People from Delhi to Mewat to Kashmir started chasing me, people from across Yamuna started chasing me, criminals started chasing me. Mewati criminals who then changed their appearance, changed their cap and kurta – their thinking and work is the same, their nature is the same – they all started chasing me. Spent crores of rupees on them somehow to erase me from existence.
[Speaker 2]
There are even audios of his supporters threatening to finish you off from this world.
[Maulana Yaseen]
Absolutely, absolutely. Saleem Shahti and many others are there.
[Speaker 2]
Sahib says we are going to finish off Molvi Yasin.
[Maulana Yaseen]
They will cut him into pieces – these were his orders. In 2016, there’s a Zakir Mewati who is in Nizamuddin. In the month of Ramadan, the biggest ruckus and fight happened there. Acid drums and hired goons with weapons were brought. From Asr prayer till Taraweeh, Molvi Sahib’s work was to remain quiet. The Chamnapari Mewatis and Kashmiris took an oath that we will finish him off, and you remain silent.
[Speaker 2]
All these criminal activities happened in the markaz?
[Maulana Yaseen]
First the Mewatis supported tabligh, and tabligh went all over the world. Along with that, Mewatis supported riots, so Allah spread riots all over the world. This is what I say.
[Speaker 2]
And what you’re saying – like the incident that happened with that woman during Hajj, whose name you’ve written – this illicit affair developed right there in the markaz, in his house?
[Maulana Yaseen]
She came there at 10 years old and then grew up there. After that, since these girls are from Mewat and the Doab area – these poor street vendors and laborer type people got involved in religion. Now they’re saying ourâŚ
[Speaker 2]
Her father Ismail Khan, when the matter escalated too much, he even came to the markaz to get her married. But Saad rejected that marriage proposal too.
[Maulana Yaseen]
Absolutely, this happened in front of me. People sat in his room, some important people were there. Dates were distributed. They saw the boy, masha Allah he was a scholar. I saw him too. I think his father’s name was Molvi Zakir. And they were from a village called Khatola. He was his son. Well, after seeing this boy, he went inside. From inside he called Halima’s father. The boy is liked by me, the boy is not liked by the sons, the gentleman doesn’t like him. Now tell me, what does Sharia say about this? Where is the relationship between father and daughter, and where is this kind of issue? I mean, this guardianship matter – full authority lies with the gentleman. Yes, yes, yes. Full authority. The boy was sent back.
[Speaker 2]
So he rejected the marriage proposal that Ismail Khan, Halima’s father, had brought. Many people in the markaz witnessed that he didn’t allow the nikah to happen.
[Maulana Yaseen]
Absolutely. I saw them inside, saw them seated inside, saw them outside too. I was right there.
[Speaker 2]
Yes, yes, yes. May Allah have mercy. May Allah have mercy. Besides this writing, you must have a lot more since you were his travel companion for Hajj day and night.
[Maulana Yaseen]
There’s a lot more left. Actually people are also saying to somehow bring it out in writing. Now that this has come out, some other people with good intentions have also asked me questions. Some people from Malegaon have used abusive language. I’m ready to listen. I’ve been listening since 2014. And by Allah’s grace, I have the habit of listening, the habit of patience. I will continue to make all revelations and all clarifications. I have nothing to do with it. If someone does injustice, I note down the number, file a police complaint that there are threats to kill me. I have records, I have files. Yes, yes, yes. And I have also given a written announcement in Nizamuddin Police Station and other places that if anything happens to me or my family, Saad will be responsible. And I have clearly announced all these things in Nizamuddin.
[Speaker 2]
The record is present in Nizamuddin. May Allah protect you, insha Allah. This is all evil, these have been their tactics. May Allah protect you.
[Maulana Yaseen]
Insha Allah, let’s see. Allah created Moses for Pharaoh, so we will try insha Allah that Allah has taken on the right path. There is effort, there is prayer too, insha Allah. But this – that people from big families, big clans are not affected even a bit by this.
[Speaker 2]
May Allah⌠I keep listening to your arguments too. I had heard many of your audios before as well. Yes, yes, yes. You please pray.
[Maulana Yaseen]
Insha Allah, certainly. I also request prayers from you. You also spoke happily. Another gentleman’s call had come, he spoke harshly and we had a conversation. Anyway, all these things keep coming to me. My actual phoneâŚ
[Speaker 2]
I have many audios running on Saad’s issue. I record everything, so this conversation of yours has also been automatically recorded. So can I run it? Do I have your permission?
[Maulana Yaseen]
Look, you have my permission because the way I write, I speak the same way. I have nothing to hide, that I’m lying or anything like that. Even before this, many people had recorded and run things about scholars and all those things. So I have no objection to it. You can do whatever you want with it, I have no objection. But by Allah’s grace, I neither give nor run the recordings of my phone. Yes, if someone wants to run it, that’s fine. You run it, there’s nothing like that from my side.
[Speaker 2]
There’s nothing like that. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Summary
People only came to know about this after the truth about Saad came out. The reason for Saad’s downfall is purely his immorality. During the Hajj pilgrimage in 2010 when I was with Saad, Saad and Haleema were deeply in love. Sitting in the Prophet’s Mosque, Saad would flirt with Haleema on the phone. After that, from Madina Munawwara, they donned the ihram and set out on the Hajj pilgrimage. Even in the state of ihram, Saad’s love affair continued. In Mina, and then in Arafat, to Allah’s refuge, he couldn’t forget Haleema. Even the most sinful and immoral person wouldn’t dare to talk to a non-mahram woman at such a place. Then in Mina, it crossed all limits. Even during the additional circumambulation, he received a love call and I was shocked. It was the third round of tawaf, and we were very close to the Kaaba, between the Black Stone and the Yamani Corner. I barely completed the tawaf after that call and kept praying for Saad to be free from this immorality. But since his audacity to sin had grown so much, I completed that journey with great difficulty, weeping. Although it was a Hajj pilgrimage, may Allah not hold me accountable for all of it.
Immediately after the Hajj journey, there was a trip to Raiwind. We departed from Delhi. When we reached Lahore airport, the people of Raiwind gave a grand welcome as usual. Saad had a specific host who would come to the airport every year. This year too, He had an expensive car. Allah had blessed him. He would bring a SIM card with a balance and a new mobile phone for Saad right to the airport. We had only traveled a kilometer from the airport, When he first called Haleema to tell her the number, saying, “My love, this is my Pakistani number.” Whenever you have time, just give me a missed call.” Thus, a global love affair began. We arrived on Wednesday, and the love affair continued. Saad prepared for Friday prayers. Afterward, he took the Quran under the pretext of reciting Surah Kahf. When I went to take a bath, The local host sat near my bed. There was a thick curtain between my bed and Saad’s bed, and there was also a distance. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Saad, with the Quran in his hand, started talking to Haleema. And the things he said were so absurd that I lost my senses and my mind was blown. He spoke openly and absurdly. After Saad went to the bathroom to change his clothes, I prepared for Friday prayers. Afterward, I saw that the host had a frown on his forehead. In that state, we went to the mosque for Friday prayers with the host. As soon as the Friday prayer ended, he demanded to return to the residence because he had a promise to Haleema. Never before had he gotten up and run away like this before the sunnah and nawafil prayers. The host’s face turned red, but since I didn’t know anything yet, Upon returning to the residence, he didn’t even read any supplications, and he immediately called Haleema and started. Haleema bint Ismail, village Kot, tehsil Hathin, district Palwal. To the extent that even when Hazrat Maulana Zubairul Hasan Sahib, may Allah have mercy on him, finished his sunnah and nawafil prayers and arrived at the residence, the food was ready. He said to me, “Call Saad.” I told Saad that they were calling him for food. He replied, “Let them start, I’m on an important call.” Haji Sahib and all other senior preachers from around the world were present at the table. All the people of Allah were gathered, so they started eating. When half of the food was finished, Saad came again and started eating, making false excuses in front of those people. After that, he rested. It was afternoon. Then after that, the speech of the gentleman was after Maghrib. The speech was given, and Isha was performed. After that, they ate. After that, everyone went to bed. I also went to bed after finishing my work. Suddenly, that host woke me up and said, “I have something to talk to you.” I refused, saying that we would do it during the day, but he didn’t listen. Due to his insistence, I got up. Because I had a prior relationship with him before Saad’s hosting. Then he told me everything that Saad had said to Haleema. And he asked me with an oath, “In whose trap are you caught? You know everything, no one knows you more than I do.” Such things, even a sinner would not say in such a gathering. Many things happened. We were together in some journeys as well. There was a lot of informality.
At that time, the host was quite arrogant due to his wealth and popularity. He was a devout man but lacked formal religious education.
The host insisted that I confront Saad and counsel him against his sinful behavior. He suggested that we present the matter to the other religious scholars. However, I felt that I was better suited to handle the situation, as I had been observing Saad’s behavior for some time.
We agreed that I would speak to Saad before our departure. Meanwhile, the host examined Saad’s phone in his absence and discovered numerous calls to Haleema. He called Haleema using one of these numbers and inquired about her identity. When Haleema called Saad back, he was caught red-handed.
Saad’s world was shattered upon hearing Haleema’s voice on the phone. His arrogance and confidence evaporated, replaced by shame and guilt.
The host, witnessing Saad’s transformation, felt a sense of satisfaction. He had hoped that this revelation would bring Saad to his senses.
The following day, as we prepared to depart, Saad was visibly distressed. He tried to avoid me, but I insisted on talking to him.
“Saad,” I began, “your actions have caused great harm to yourself and others. You have betrayed the trust of your friends and family. Is this the legacy you want to leave behind?”
Saad was silent for a moment, his eyes filled with regret. “I know I’ve made a mistake,” he finally admitted. “I’ve been blinded by my own desires.”
“It’s not too late to change,” I assured him. “You must seek forgiveness from Allah and from those you have hurt.”
Saad nodded, his voice barely audible. “I will try.”
As we boarded the plane, Saad seemed lost in thought. I prayed that he would find the strength to overcome his temptations.
Upon our return to Pakistan, Saad’s behavior gradually improved. He distanced himself from Haleema and began to focus on his religious duties. He also sought guidance from local scholars.
While it was a long and difficult journey, Saad eventually managed to break free from the chains of his sinful past. His story serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the dangers of unchecked desires and the importance of seeking guidance from those who truly care for our well-being.
