God, never expected from A Hameed to go this low and do character assassination in very careful manner. Since childhood I have been listening and watching Ashfaq Ahmed Sb’s programs and writing. Have read his books and books being written on Him.. Have met ppl who met Him in their lives. never found Baba Ashfaq Ahmed to be someone who have greed of people’s appreciation rather those who know him knows our beloved dear Baba Always criticised himself yes he did shared the stories of spiritual Babas but never call himself a Sufi.
The author of this book put an allegation on Ashfaq Sb that he was a pretender. Nauzbillah and just wanted Mureeds. Whereas ppl who know are well aware that he used to treat people well but never treated anyone as his disciple or Mureed.
Shame on A Hameed.
