Scholarly Discussion on Niyaz & Halal Issue – Ila Kalma Tillah
Ila Kalma Tillah is a concise yet important religious treatise attributed to the spiritual teachings of Hazrat Khwaja Syed Pir Mehr Ali Shah (رحمہ اللہ علیہ), the renowned Sufi scholar of Golra Sharif. This booklet addresses a long-standing juristic debate among scholars regarding the permissibility (halal) or impermissibility (haram) of animals or food associated with the names of Awliya Allah.

Background of the Issue
For many years, scholars have differed over whether an animal slaughtered while mentioning the name of a saint, or food prepared as “niyaz” or “fatiha” for a particular wali, falls under the Qur’anic ruling of “Wa ma uhilla bihi li ghairillah”. One group declares such offerings categorically unlawful, while another considers them permissible if the slaughter is performed with the name of Allah, even if it is done at a shrine.
Purpose of the Treatise
The author seeks to clarify this matter with balanced scholarly reasoning, protecting common Muslims from falling into extremes of excess or negligence. The aim is not to inflame sectarian differences but to provide a research-based explanation grounded in classical jurisprudence and sound belief.
Ila Kalma Tillah serves as a guiding document for those wishing to understand this sensitive issue through evidence rather than emotion.
