Zikr in Naats

Naats (poetry in the praise of Prophet Muhammad(peace and blessing be upon him and his family) with zikr (chanting of the sacred name of Allah azzawajal) in the background has been very recently introduced in Pakistan and India. However, ulma-e-Ahle Sunnat and the general public is divided on the permissibility of such new styles in the recitation of naats. The main reason that why Ulma-e-karam are opposing the zikr in the background is because it immitates music and whoever is listening thinks early on that it's music. And this is a great disrespect to a sacred action like Naat-Khawani. How much ulma-e-Ahle sunnat and the general public is concerned and divided on this issue that in one of the recent big Mehfil-e-Naat in Bab-ul-Madina, Karachi, Pakistan, when one famous Naat-khawan starting reciting Naat in that style (zikr in the background), one very learned and famous scholar stopped him. At this, the Naat-Khawan left the stage. Then the next Naat-Khawan came and starting reciting with the same style. This time, the scholar left the stage because it was not permissible according to his research and it was wajib (compulsory) for him to leave the stage. Afterwards, the supporters (mohibbeen) of both Naat-khawan and Alim got emotional, which lead to anger and ultimately fight among people. Inna Lillahe Wa Inna Ileiehe Rajeoon So how much serious is the matter that our own people of Ahle Sunnat are dividing. Ameer-e-Ahle Sunnat, the founder of Dawat-e-Islami, Abu Bilal, Hazrate Allama Moulana Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qaderi Razawi (damat barkatuhumul alya) as usual has a deep and regretful concern about this issue. Again, he is deep wishing to keep our unity. This is why, he has written a marvelous booklet on the topic of \"Zikr wali Naat Khawani\" (Naat with Zikr). In this booklet, he points out a great shar'ee principle with the reference of Fatawa Razawia V:8, P:303 written by Imam-e-Ahle Sunnat, Mujaddad-e-Deen-o-Millat, Moulana Ashshsah Ahmed Razan Khan (aleh rahmatur Rehman), more/less meaning, \"When there's a doubt in action whether it's sunnah or makruh, then it's afzal (better) to leave it.\" Ameer-e-Ahle Sunnat, after quoting this, writes that you see when there's different opinios of Ulama-e-Karam between sunnah and makruh, then it's afzal (better) to leave it. And where Mubah (permissible) and Haram are colliding with each other, then why it wouldn't be 'Afzal Tareen' (the best) to leave it...... Dear and sweet Islamic brothers, this is a great booklet by Ameer-e-Ahle Sunnat that has many striking points that we should abstain from Naats with Zikr.
