Following on from the previous post, the disrespect between the two preachers continued further. Dawah Man added a picture on social media depicting a cartoon illustration of Imam Hussain in which he referred to him as the Mawlid Imam.

Above is the cartoon depiction of 
Imam Hussain by Dawah Man

After seeing the video footage of Dawah Man and the cartoon depiction I was like "IS THIS FOR REAL?" It certainly wasn't a scholarly debate about Mawlid anymore. IT WAS PERSONAL.

The preacher's posts were going viral very fast and were being shared by many followers. The cartoon depiction of Imam Hussain received significant mix reaction and attention from the general public, including Imam Hussain, who commented on Facebook “It's sad to see that brother Imran has resorted to depicting me in this cartoon. I must say the turban is on point and I look whiter than usual. Very sad to see him depicting the Na'l Mubarak (Prophet ﷺ Blessed Sandal)."

Some of the general public were shocked and saddened at the behaviour of Dawah Man. Itaqilliah stated “fear Allah All those that follow imran and think he's amazing and all the rest. Allow the Mawlid debate for one second. Answer me this, when has Islam ever allowed to mock people by drawing cartoon of them? Mawlid Imam?” Yas Abbasi questioned “making cartoons about the imam. How low can you go?” 

In contrast, there were other followers on social media who saw the funny side of the cartoon illustration, Faissal Bensefia commented “Dude, did you do this artwork yourself? It's really good”. Other supporters posted similar comments as Zahid Ahmed “Masha'allah bro Imraan may Allah bless you and reward you for the amazing work you do for the ummah, may Allah keep you steadfast in'sha Allah, keep up the good, may Allah guide them all”.

Ali Dawah a close friend of Dawah Man also contributed to this discussion by uploading the following video online, in which he gave advice to both Imam Hussain and Dawah Man and their followers.

 

Was there any notice taken of what Ali Dawah had said? The answer to this question will be in the next post.
