al-ustaz mahfooz al-ladhi la-yatakalam al-lugha al-3arabiya inahu la ya3lam ana al-lugha al-lateeniya laysa laha mahalun huna

May be you can ask your Shaikumamullah to translate for you the above transliterated sentence from Arabic a language that you do not know. Degree in English? Latin? Urdu? Brngali? they will not help you here

So you go and visit a Sufi shrine in India. India is a democracy where Indians and your likes can pracitce any religion. Bangladesh? That is a different story. Saudi Arabia? This is even wrose (oh darn it a typo. Well may be our dear Mahfooz with his degree in English will be able to fix it). I can assure you of one thing: you will never find a sufi shrine in the birth place of Abul Qasim the caravan raider and Arabian warlord. You see our dear mahfooz orthodox Muslims and the likes of Ibn Taymiyya will regard you as a kaffir and do you know why? Because you visited a Sufi shrine.

So congratulations our dear Mahfooz: you and I are proud kuffar aka infidels
