Ghuloo in the Faza'il-e-AA'maal
Quotes from Fazail-e-Aa'maal (Ta'alim book)
I've found the following from Fadha'il A'maal' (Thaalim book) & Fadha'il Haj of Zakhariya Sahib, the famous books of Tabligi Jamaat that the Tabligi people used to read openly after the prayers in many masjids and in their homes, mainly in Asian countries. Also this Urdu book has been translated into many languages except Arabic. Here I've quoted some fabricated stories with reference from the above mentioned books for your eyes, to check whether is it allowed to preach this type of stories in our masjids that would corrupt our belief (Aqeedah).
See Fazail Hajj (Urdu page 138, Tamil page 225)
"When you see the green dome then it should be with awe and reverence and you should take care of the honour of the Huzoor and reflect that in that pure dome is he who is the best of creation, leader of the prophets and virtuous the Angels. The place of the holy grave is superior than any other place and that place which touches the holy body of the Huzoor is superior to the Ka'bah, superior to Arsh, superior to Kursi in fact superior than everything in the heavens and earth."
See Fazail Hajj (Urdu page 141, Tamil page 224)
"When you visit anyone's grave, you should proceed from the direction of the feet because if Allah has given the dead the power of Kashf then it is easy for him to see you because when the dead turns to his right in his grave then his sight falls towards your feet. And when anyone approaches the grave from the head side of the dead then the dead has trouble and difficulty in seeing you"
See Fazail Hajj (Urdu page 164, Tamil page 267)
"One person asked Khidr that, "Have you ever seen any wali who is better than you?" Khidr replied, "Yes, I have. I once visited the masjid of the prophet. I saw Imaam Abdur Razzaq Muhaddith and he was teaching Ahadith. The crowd and I listened to the Ahaadeeth from him. In one corner of the masjid there was a youngster sitting who had kept his head between his knees away from the crowd. I said, Do you not see that ahaadeeth of the prophet are being taught? Why don't you also attend the circle? He neither lifted his head nor did he look at me and said,
"In that place are those who listen to ahaadeeth from the slave of Razzaq. But I'm the one who listen to Ahaadeeth from the Razzaq, not from the slave of Razzaq."
Hadhrath Khidr said that , "If you are indeed speaking the truth then tell who am I? He raised his head and said that, "If I am not mistaken, then you are Khidr," Hadhrat Khidr then said, "From this I came to know that there are such wali of Allah whom even I cannot recognize."
See Fadha'il 'A'maal, Fadha'il Namaaz (Urdu page 13/14, Tamil page 26/27)
"It has been reported from a number of companions and from amongst them Hadhrat Uthman, Hadhrat Abo Hurairah, Hadhrat Anas, etc. In different wordings that there are some people who posses the ability of KASHF. They can feel the sins being committed by people. Therefore the story of the Imam of the world Hadhrat Abu Haneefa is famous that he used to see the sins of the people fall out as they performed wudu."
See Fadha'il 'A'maal, Fadha'il Namaaz (Urdu page 62/64, Tamil page 125/126 & 131)
Some people prayed for 40 to 50 years Isha and Fajr with the same wudu
The following is to be found in the Faza'il-e-A'maal [Virtues of Salaat - Part III (b) - Stories of the Pious (Story # XIII pages - 84-5), it reads;
Imaam Abu Hanifa (Rahmatullah alaih) is famous for his vigil, it is said that for thirty, forty or fifty years (according to the information of different narrators) he offered his Fajr prayer with the Wudhu for Isha. He would go to sleep only for a few minutes in the afternoon saying, "It is 'Sunnat' to sleep in the afternoon."
It is said about Said bin Almusayyab (Rahmatullah alaih) that for fifty years he offered his Fajr prayer with the 'Wudhu' performed at Isha.
Imaam Ghazzali (Rahmatullah alaih) on the authority of Abu Talib Makki reported the same practice by no less than forty 'Tabais', some of whom had been doing it for forty years continuously.
Abu Atab Salimi (Rahmatullah alaih) is reported to have been fasting during the day and weeping during the night for full forty years.
It is said about a Sayyed that continuously for twelve days he has been offering his Salaat with the same 'Wudhu'. For fifteen years, his back had not touched the bed. He would also go without food for days together.
The last paragraph reads as follows;
Besides the above, there are numerous records of the pious pursuits of the Heroes of Islamic History. It is difficult to cover all of them in this book. All that has been said here is sufficient to serve as examples. May Allah, through his grace, grant me and the readers of this book the strength to follow in the footsteps of these blessed people! 'Ameen'!
The Islaamic Position on the above:
The Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said; "Whoever does an action that we have not commanded, it is to be rejected" [Saheeh Muslim]
Ayeshah (radhiAllaahu anha) reported that the Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) "Never stayed up a whole night in worship" [Saheeh Muslim]
The following appears In the Saheeh of Imaam Bukhaaree in the Book of Fasting, under the chapter: The Right of the body in Fasting (56) Hadeeth # 196, pages 110-1, Vol-3;.
Narrated Abdullah bin Amr bin al 'Aas: Allaah's Apostle (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said to me; "O Abdullaah! Have I not been informed that you fast daily during the day and offer prayers every night during all the nights." Abdullah replied, "Yes, O Allaah's Apostle! The Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Don't do that; fast for few days and then give it up for few days, offer prayers and also sleep at night, as your body has a right on you, and your wife has a right on you, and your guest has a right on you..."
The following appears In the Saheeh of Imaam Bukhaaree in the Book of Fasting, under the chapter: The Fasting of David (60) Hadeeth # 200, pages 113-4, Vol-3;
Narrated Abdullaah bin Amr bin al-Aas, The Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said to me, "You fast daily all the year and pray every night all the night?" I replied in the affirmative. The Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, "If you keep on doing this, your eyes will become weak and your body will become tired, he who fasts all the year is as he who did not fast at all. [Saheeh Bukhaaree]
It is reported in the Saheeh of Imaam Muslim (rahimahullaah) from Anas (radhiAllaahu anhu) that a group of the Companions of the Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) asked the wives of the Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) about (his worship) what he did in secret. Having been informed of his (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) worship, One of them (those Sahabah) said, I will fast and never eat. Another said, I will pray and never sleep. and the other said: I will never marry women.
The Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) praised and thanked Allaah, then he said, What is the matter with some people who say such-and- such? But as for me, I pray and I sleep, I fast and I break my fast, and I marry women. Whoever turns away from my Sunnah has nothing to do with me. [Saheeh Muslim]
Allaah said; "Thus have We made of you a nation justly balanced, that you may be witnesses over the people and the Messenger a witness over yourselves." [al-Baqarah 143]
Therefore, we find that Islam presents the moderate way in every aspect of life. Not only that, it also warns against heading towards either extreme: the extreme of too much zealousness and the extreme of too much nonchalance
"Guide us to the straight way, the way of those upon whom You have bestowed Your grace, not those whose (portion) is wrath nor those who have gone astray." [al-Faatihah 6-7]
The Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said "Beware of Ghuloo (exaggeration) in the religion, those who exaggerated perished" [Sunan Abu Dawud]
This balanced approach that distinguishes Islam from the other religions is the true justice and excellence.
Umar ibn Abdul-Aziz wrote to one of his workers, saying, after advising him to follow the path of the early predecessors, "There is no room to fall short of them and there is no room to go beyond them. Some people shortened the matter and fell short. Some people went above them and therefore went to extremes. They (the pious predecessors - Salaf) were between that (those two extremes) upon a straight guidance." [Recorded by Abu Dawud] It is a lengthy quote but only the relevant portion was quoted here.

This verse of the Qur'aan, "Muhammad (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) is no more than a Messenger, and indeed (many) Messengers have passed away before him. If he dies or is killed, will you then turn back on your heels (as disbelievers)? And he who turns back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah, and Allah will give reward to those who are grateful." [Surah Al-'Imran: 3:144]

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan - hafidahullaah - relates: "O you who believe! When a wicked person comes to you with some news, ascertain and verify it, less you harm someone in ignorance and then afterwards regret for what you have done." [Soorah al-Hujuraat 49:6] Meaning: If some news reaches you about a group or party from amongst the people, concerning an action that they have done and which deserves to be fought against, then do not be hasty about the matter, nor announce war against them, nor attack them - until you have verified the authenticity of the report."1 Imaam Muslim relates in his Saheeh (no.5): Shaykh 'Alee Hasan al-Halabee said: 1.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
