Meet Hesham A Syed – An Eye Witness

Of Yusuf Kazab’s Claim Of Prophethood

Posted by Fidai e Rasool SAW on March 5, 2010
Hesham A Syed was amongst several persons who
got acquainted with Yusuf Kazab. Fortunately due to
his strong understanding of religion and help of
Allah Subhan ahu Tala, he managed to escape the
spell of Yusuf Kazab. Hesham wrote a detailed
narrative of his several meetings with Yusuf Kazab,
some of which were held at Zaid Zaman Hamid’s
flat in Rawalpindi.
We will now cut short the introduction and let you
read first hand what Hesham A Syed – an eye
witness of Yusuf Kazab’s claims has to say about
Yusuf Kazab and Zaid Zaman Hamid. In order to aid
your reading, we have highlighted the most
important parts of the narrative. So even if
you don’t feel the urge to read the whole narrative,
just read the highlighted parts to get an essence of
Yusuf Kazab’s claims and Zaid Hamid’s
associations with him.
MIRAAJ or MIRAGE.
Cults in the Muslim World.
A few facts about Yusuf Ali (Lahore) who claimed
himself to be the continuity of Muhammed ( saw )
but was assassinated in Adwala jail in Rawalpindi
Pakistan by one of Sipah Sahaba member
imprisoned with him in the same jail in 2000.
[ Based on personal meeting and observations made
by Hesham A Syed ]
1. For those who do not know me , let me first
give you my brief back ground :
My professional qualification is of Engineering and
of Business & Project Management – I have been
setting up Business and Industrial Projects and
managing many reputed Trade and Industrial
Companies and Financial institution in senior most
management positions in different part of the world
beside Pakistan .I have carried out self driven studies
on literature , science , socio political culture ,
economics and almost all religions as well as of
various cults around the world. Beside a deep rooted
religious environment I had inherited ,I have
embraced Islam with all my consciousness and of
course with the Taufiq and Hidayat of Allah ( swt ),
as the only course in life to follow .The love of Allah
( swt ) and His Prophets or Messengers specially the
foremost , supreme most and final most Muhammed
( saw ) and for all those who have this tie and link
called Wali-Allah is impregnated in me .This is
again Allah’s ( swt ) bounty and blessing and I will
never like to compromise on this at any cost with all
my humility and thankfulness to Him alone –
Alhamdo li Allah and Ashkar Allah.
I am a writer , poet and a free lance journalist also.
I have no formal association or affiliation with any
religious or non religious or political party or any
agency – I write and express myself independantly
and truthfully on any subject.
——————————————
1.I met Yusuf Ali when I was living in Lahore and
working as a General Manager with PEL + PAL the
two industries of Saigols group in 1994.
2. I met him through the courtesy of JZ .
3. Yusuf Ali came to JZ house where I met him
for the first time – We sat on a dining table – Along
with him were another Pakistani person ( I was told
he is settled in Norway if I remember correctly ) and
a Pakistani girl ( I forgot both of their names ).
In the first meeting itself Yusuf after a casual
introduction , discussed Sufism and told me that his
status as of that day was of Sheikh Abdul Qadir
Gilani ( rahama alaih ) commonly known as Ghausul
Azam. { Later I learnt his [Yusuf Kazab's] strides
made him excel even Muhammed ( saw ) }. He
recited one of his English poem to me possibly
knowing about my poetic inclination and we talked
about love of Prophet ( saw ) then he told me that “
I like to congratulate you that You ( Hesham
Ahmed Syed ) will meet Muhammed ( saw ) in
person , physically with your open eyes just like
you are seeing ME now ” . {Quite honestly I felt
that very moment that he is actually telling me
that he is Muhammed (saw )– My sixth sense , fire
wall and virus protection or filter to such a claim
started working simultaneously and I could only
reply to him – “Thanks to Allah ( swt ), if that is
what is destined ”– How ever I felt uncomfortable
also that why he has to push himself to prove his
importance so much because this was an impression
unlike of all the genuine Wali-Allah and Saints I
have read about and known in person among the
Soofi clan – I also felt a bit disappointed that he
made a wrong assessment or evaluation of me }.
I found out later , that this was his most affective
trick to pull people in to his clan or group – Muslim
in general out of their love to Muhammed ( saw )
have been and can be wrongly exploited emotionally
until and unless a balance state of mind prevails and
one is disciplined to think every thing rationally and
in light of the teachings of Muhammed (saw) ie
Quran and Sunnah or Hadeeth – Emotional
attachment to Muhammed ( saw ) is the most
powerful tool to be used to inculcate and propagate
positive attributes in a human being but Satanic
people also have used it for their vested interest.
( Afraat aur Tafreet doanoaN hee khatarnaak
hathiaar haiN MuslamanoaN ko gumraah karney key
liey – Afraat is making Muhammed ( saw ) as Allah
( swt ) Himself and Tafreet is lowering his status
given by Allah – Baad az Khuda buzurg Tooyee
Qissa Mukhtasar.
A distinction between the Creator and Created , an
Atta vs Moatee has to be clearly understood.
4. Further meetings with Yusuf Ali also was
arranged obviously on his instruction to JZ in
Lahore and I also reciprocated with kind wishes to
him and with the idea to exchange views to put
things on right track , learn and make him learn but
he had his own bent of mind and would not listen to
any other point of view but his own self. I also
visited his small house ( prior to his moving to
Defense housing society which I was told was an
expensive buy out with electronics gadgets etc fixed
in it for surveillance etc – wa-Allah o alam ). Later
meetings took place one time in Karachi on some
one house I did not know where there was a big
crowd and a few meetings took place with him in
ZZ [Zaid Zaman Hamid] apartment in
Rawalpindi.
The crowd of young or middle aged , Men or
Women , Students , Married or Non married
gathered in such meeting in the same room , I found
them seated there and looking at him under a
magical spell and I have also seen male members
kissing his hands bowing in front of him and Male
or Female prayed behind him as if they were praying
behind Muhammed ( saw ) – this feeling was
confided in me by one of his mureed or devotee.
5. Twice Yusuf met me in isolation , in a room as
he desired , one time when I met him in Karachi
and one time at ZZ [Zaid Zaman Hamid]
apartment in Rawalpindi – where he told me that
I should give him 25 lakhs of rupees ( which was
a whole some of money in 199 4 or 1995 ) and in
return he will make me meet Muhammed ( saw )
physically – He would read some thing on sweets he
kept with him blow on it and ask me to eat and I
would gladly eat it reciting BismiAllah without any
fear with the conviction that nothing will go wrong
to me as long as Allah ( swt ) is protecting me. How
ever I wanted to experience all this out of my
curiosity and wanted to know more in depth of this
new Cult in the making.
# To pull me on his side in private meetings he told
me that Muhammed ( saw ) has asked him ( Yusuf )
to take special care of me and serve me well – He
further said to me that I ( Hesham ) was already
at Sidratul Muntahaa and only one step will take
me to Miraaj to meet Muhammed ( saw )
physically and all this one step was minimum 25
lakhs of rupees to be given to Yusuf { interesting
trade off isn’t it ? . I was amazed of his audacity and
for the first time in my life I was faced with a
situation where spiritual upbringing or elevation or
transcending was being traded – Muhammed ( saw )
all his life struggled , and delivered Allah’s message
selflessly with all the humility and modesty , never
asked any one in return of his blessings & services
he offered to all without any discrimination and have
always been at the giving end–and now what sort of
re-incarnation was this ? }.
# He also indicated to me that I excel spiritually
in the entire group even from ZZ [Zaid Zaman
Hamid] ,and I will have a higher status than any
one in his group if I walk in. He also told me to
have one room exclusively reserved for him in my
house as his core devotees did , so that he could
come and stay there , carry out private meetings or
may be use it as another Ghaarey Hira ,wa-Alla ho
alam. I have never mentioned these private
conversations Yusuf carried out with me ever
before to ZZ [Zaid Zaman Hamid] or JZ or to
any one in his group till if they read it now. Even
if I did it would not have changed any of them as
they were completely possessed – And may be
because what ever he said about my spiritual status
did not make any sense to me and I preferred to
continue living as an obedient servant of Allah
( swt ) and as a devotee and a true lover of
Muhammed ( saw ) whose respect and integrity has
always meant to me more than my life.
# He also mentioned to me that his wife is the
most beautiful woman he has seen , how ever it is
over flowing love for all devotees and if any
woman on her own offers herself to me how can I
help { I quite did not understand this at that time
specially from a person who happens to be claiming
of such a high spiritual caliber or status to the extent
of presenting himself as Muhammed ( saw ) to his
sahabaas or devotees / mureed of-course – For me
such a thing was not even conceived even by any
normal person with basic moral standard }.
# All what I was experiencing was like a child play
to me , amazing and frustrating at the same time that
how can this disillusioned person misguide so many
apparently educated male and female around him as
his devotees but the answer is simple – Hidayat is
minAllah and most of these people were engulfed
due to their love of Prophet ( saw ) and not having a
proper guide or Murshid to them to put them back on
right track.
6.The demand of such Nazrana or Gift or a price
to meet Muhammed ( saw ) physically started
right in Lahore during my initial meeting itself –
otherwise he said to know the Haqeeqat it
requires a few lakhs of recitation of Durood o
Salam which would have taken ages , so a pay off
to him was the payment meaning to Muhammed (
saw ) himself – What a mockery and insult this
was to our beloved Prophet ( saw ) – A complete
paradox and contrast to Muammed ( saw )
personal attributes – AstghfarAllah.
# In Lahore, first he demanded a fully loaded
Toyota Car and later he switched to buying a
house for him in Defense Housing Scheme – He
also showed me a few land papers a few of his
devotees had given to him to prove their devotion to
Muhammed ( saw ) or to him in pursuit of the
Haqeeqat he wanted to reveal.
On one occasion in Lahore he gave me his personal
bank account no also in foreign currency account
which some how or other I lost , which I regret very
much other wise this could have been another proof
– may be all this was making me suspicious and I
never took him seriously to even save the account no
, thanks to Allah ( swt ).
He possibly thought that as I have lived in Saudi
Arabia or Gulf countries for many years and have
served at higher positions , I must have over flowing
bank balance. He would repeatedly ask me of my
balance of account but knowing of his intention I
would normally avoid to answer this query – he did
not realize that an honest person has to live on day to
day or month to month basis with the liabilities &
family responsibility around him or her.
Never the less , those who had fallen to his prey I
was told they did pay for a house for him in
Defense in Lahore , and for a fully loaded car and
what not I have heard and read about all the non
sense to reach Miraaj ie taking him as
Muhammed ( saw ) and seeing him means seeing
Allah ( swt ) in human uniform – In poetic
words , Nazar Aa libaasey majaaz meiN-
AstaghfarAllah.
7. His demand of money or substance was not the
only thing which was making me suspicious but
his knowledge of Islam, Quran , Hadeeth or even of
Tasawuff was questionable – Of course he would
openly say that all translations and tafseers are
wrong and only he knew the Haqeeqat of Allah
( swt ) and Rasool or Muhammed ( saw ) which
his devotees will take it for granted and hail him in
very high esteem but all this bothered me a great
deal and I started parting away from him cautioning
others as well. I never found his interpretation or
what ever he was saying or writing as a columnist
during those days in an Urdu paper Pakistan in
Lahore, intellectually stimulating or of any clarity of
vision but it was jugglery of words used for
deception , neither it was of any caliber of even
saintly writing or verses or expression I had and
have gone through but I could hear all praises of his
knowledge and eloquence from his core devotees.
His core devotees I knew of were like just His
Master Voice in thinking and some time adopted
even his style of speech , selecting the same pattern
of words and sentences.
# A few of his responses to my queries were direct
Shirk.- for example while discussing Prophet Issa
/ Jesus ( pbuh ) with me in a gathering he said
that people calling Jesus son of God is wrong but
if they called him God it is right and I was shocked
to hear this from him and that day only I knew
where to he is leading his devotees. The Quran is so
clear on the subject but obviously Yusuf had his own
Quran or of it’s new interpretation and philosophy to
offer.
# Beside, in all this process I was confused ,
unable to understand or find any Mission or
Objective of this new group in making , worth
while to be associated with – Why should one
take him for Khalifaey Azam or what ever he
claimed – what this group is heading for I will
always question. All prophets and messengers of
Allah ( swt ) had a mission and objective up to the
finality of Muhammed ( saw ) , so where was the
mission for Yusuf even if one take him as a leader or
a person who may revive Daurey Khilafat , other
than just throwing spell on others and enjoying the
gift by his blind folded devotees or a religious loot
through emotional exploitation – The only thing
which I was told is that just stick around with
Yusuf and be blessed that is a Miraaj itself , and
from some corner it was also mentioned that they
were preparing for Ghuzwatul Hind as per one of
the prophecies of Prophet Muhammed ( saw )
and Yusuf also one time offered greetings to me
that I will participate in this Ghuzwah. (possibly
till the time he had a hope that I will pay him the
whole some amount what he demanded which
obviously did not materialize – ashkur Allah ).
# Further more , It gave me also a warning signal
as why to gain popularity Yusuf desperately and
wrongly propagates his close & long association
with Abul Ala Maudoodi , or WAMY or any
other political or religious person or institution
when he claims to have been given the status of
Niabatey Rasool and Khilafte Uzma by the
Prophet Muhammed ( saw ) himself through a
saint died 300 years ago ie Abdullah Ghazi ( alai
rahma ) – What is any body’s status to compare
with Muhammed ( saw ) ?
# Let us also ponder that if Muhammed ( saw ) is
Allah ( swt ) Himself and Jesus ( pbuh ) or any
other prophets carried the personal Noor of Allah
in human uniform then why was it not revealed
this way – and Quranic revelation + teaching of
Muhammed ( saw ) differentiates this – Since when
another Wahie than Wahie Matlui and Ghair Matlui
was sent to other than Muhammed bin Abdullah bin
Abdul Mutaalib – and is it not a mockery of Allah
( swt ) and His Rasool ( saw ) that they had hidden
all this till now and Yusuf and his like before along
with their core devotees only could know this
Haqeeqat – Was or Is Allah ( swt ) afraid of any one
not to reveal this – ( aoozobiAllah ) – What a satanic
inclusion and intrusion.
A Quranic verse was referred to prove their point
which again was quoted out of context – Those who
use Quranic verse from any where and apply any
where to suit them without caring for the cause of
it’s revelation make blunders in it’s interpretation – I
have found this happening with many so called
scholars also.
Such an innovation and amalgamation have always
been done in other revelations of Allah ( swt ) before
Quran ( which is under His direct protection ) , but
satanic people will never fail to attempt to create
doubts in Quran as well and by interpreting it
different and contrary to Muhammed ( saw )
teachings and actions.
# Support of Hadees : I heard from one of Yusuf
devotee about a Riwaiyat referred to Abu
Huraira( ra ) that he said to a few Sahabas as if
he knew this Haqeeqat that Muhammed ( saw ) is
the Allah ( swt ) himself but if he said it openly
the sahabaas will kill him so he kept it to himself
– Can any one imagine the blasphemy this statement
or riwaiyat carries to even Abu Hurairah ( ra ) and
Muhammed ( saw ) and Allah ( swt ) -This
obviously has been fabricated and falls in to the
category of Innovative ( Maodou ) Hadees which
must be at once rejected than capitalizing on this and
creating a fitna or a cult.
8. My inhibitions, and resistance to meet Yusuf
demand obviously with the passage of time placed
me in a circle outside of him but I continued giving
my advices to a few of his devotees I knew , that
they have to be careful and cautious – they were
following a very dangerous path and this has nothing
to do with Islam and Tasawuff . The whole thing
was a hoax to me leading to another cult and
derailment from the clear path of Islam and against
the teaching of our beloved Prophet ( saw ).I did
consult a few mature , religious people and even
from Soofi clan and they all confirmed my suspicion
about him and thought that he could be an Aamil
who has acquired a few magical spell to throw it on
people and make them his devotees – wa-Allah o
alam.
After I moved and settled in Canada – I learnt
that a case was filed against him by the Majlisey
Tahffuze Nabuwat and I could see Yusuf was
heading for the end of his Tasalsul of Muhammed
( saw ) or being at the seat of Khilafate Uzma or
Mahdiat. na-ozobiAllah.
9. It may not be out of place to mention that I
know parents of ZZ [Zaid Zaman Hamid] and JZ
and in-laws of ZZ [Zaid Zaman Hamid] and of
their other relations who come from very respectable
family and are straight forward practicing Muslims –
They showed a lot of concern and anxiety to me to
the way Yusuf was misleading their children and
family members and Z + J parents in tears requested
me to help the situation , so did ZZ’s [Zaid Zaman
Hamid's] father in law told me to counsel them –
which I tried and even when I was in Canada and
when Yusuf trial was going on in Pakistan I had
been writing to ZZ [Zaid Zaman Hamid] & JZ to
make Yusuf do Tauba & Istaghfar and submit to
Allah ( swt ). I even wrote to ZZ [Zaid Zaman
Hamid] what I dreamt about Yusuf which clearly
indicated to me that he will face humiliation ,
insult & will be cursed but no heed was paid to
my discourse and the devotees saw floods of Noor
in Yusuf even in Jail – One can not change any
one’s fate or destiny if he or she does not want to
change – Quran says that, “ it is not the eyes only
but hearts are blinded as well ’’.
10. The One Missing Link : Hazrat or Murshid of
Yusuf : Who was he ?
On my one time visit to Yusuf’s small house in
Lahore as mentioned , he told me that he has an
associate older to him and he is like a Murshid ,
Guide and a Messenger to him who has informed
Yusuf that now his status has excelled Shaeikh
Abdul Qadir Gilanee and much beyond.Yusuf
mentioned to me that all such saints like Sheikh
Abdul Qadir carried the same Noor in them
called Muhammed ( saw ) but now I ( Yusuf )
have been elevated at a higher status. The way
Yusuf spoke of this man was like a Murshid or
Sheikh to him but yusuf said that his Sheikh has
even confirmed that I ( Yusuf ) is of higher status
than him.
# I always wondered who was / is , this Man [i.e.
The Murshid of Yusuf] ? I never met him – I
could not again remember his name – I asked ZZ
and JZ about him but they told me not to worry –
They said that they have met him , he comes some
time but with no introduction , undisclosed and
unidentified to many among the visitors. Is he
still alive , living where ? Why during the trial he
was not mentioned and brought to answer queries
made about Yusuf – This could have shed more light
on the whole thing. Is he the person who is the main
culprit , mislead Yusuf and brought him to face what
he eventually did. What sort of influence he still
carries among the group members if there are any
hidden members left ?
Beside , what is the back ground of Yusuf himself
, where are his parents , in laws or any other
relation – why they did not come on surface even
during the trial and tribulation ?
11. What ever the association I have had with
Yusuf ( met him only 5 or 6 times – 2 times in
isolation in closed rooms and 4 times in small
gathering , never attended his world assembly or
any large meeting or his inner core meetings or
attended to his sermons given in mosque ), and what
ever I have observed , listened from the members of
this group it was more of a research project and
inquisitiveness for me to dig in if there was any
thing special he had to say than I did not know of the
philosophy of such cults but to my dismay there was
nothing new to me , same old mysterious tales and
statements in riddle for any one to keep guessing and
conclude what ever he or she wants , an aura or a
charisma of the Murshid beyond any doubt and with
absolute authority entrusted upon.
# I learnt about Yusuf even more from an audio
cassette of his world assembly recently posted at
website , read about him in many papers , and knew
of his back ground more from his devotees and in
such cases the leaders or guides or Peers or
Murshids are overly projected and given a status he
or she does not posses or importance he or she does
not deserve.
Kuch tto hoatey haiN muhabbat meiN junooN ke
aasaar
Aur koch loag bhi deewanaa bana deitey haiN.
# Many of his devotees now after his
assassination in Jail, I understand have reverted
to Islam-Alhamdoli-Allah , Good luck to them
and God bless them.
12. What I learnt directly from him and from his
devotees and from other reliable sources, the
summery of the basic few beliefs of this group were
or are as follows :
1. Allah ( swt ) & Muhammed ( saw ) are the
eternal noor and one and the same thing – This is
what Yusuf and his like has said for centuries as
Haqeeqatey Muhammadi.
2. The continuity of this Noor is unending – The
same noor was in Adam ( alaihi assalam ) and all
prophets or messengers and also in famous Wali-
Allahs.
3. Muhammed bin Abdullah bin Mutallib was
also a carrier of the same Noor.
4. The promised Mahdi or Imam will also carry
the same Noor.
5. So Allah ( swt ) basically travels some time on
this earth in human uniform naming Muhammed
and this is a transformation of Haqeeqat to
Majaaz.
13. Based on the above Yusuf ( which I consider
was totally disillusioned and must have gone
through illusionary process , having
hallucinations ) called himself as Tasalsul of
Muhammed , appeared in front of his close
devotees as Muhammed , called himself Ana
Muhammed , named some body’s house or the
basement of his house as Ghaarey Hara , called
his devotees as Sahabaas , called them all in
superlative degree to bring excitement and thrill to
them , played with their psyche to be loved and
acknowledged for their more forceful attachment to
him and by self counseling he must have been so
convinced about what he desired to be that all his
wishful thinking must be coming as a true dreams to
him with open eyes and must also be hearing his
voice of inner misguided self – artificially creating a
similitude and comparing himself to Muhammed
( saw ) and his family and devotees as of Ahley Bait
at-haar and Sahaabaas ( raa).
# By the way calling Baitey Yusuf Raza the house
of one of his devotee as Gharey Hira in the world
assembly speech ( I have no idea when was it
carried out ) I heard recently on an audio cassette
posted on website is again a wrong similitude as
Ghaarey Hira was the place of meditation and
receiving the divine revelation or message and not
declaring the Prophet hood , neither any assembly
was done at Ghaarey Hira – it was on the hills &
valley of Faraan where Prophet ( saw ) assembled
most of tribal leaders and his relation and declared
himself publicly first time as the Prophet of God – I
can understand Yusuf historical inadequacy of
knowledge to link the event with proper place but
what about his devotees ? None could correct him
for his childish impulses ? This is the most hilarious
audio cassette I have ever heard but it is so
comprehensively recorded that it exposes him
completely and this ONE proof itself is more than
sufficient to declare him a Lunatic.
Text / Gist / Content of this Audio Cassette is as
follows ( this is copied from a website ) :
