Biceps, Triceps and… Takfir!?!?!

October 20, 2009

By Saiful Islam

What happens when you cut the pristine Deen of Islam across some masairs who don’t even know how to do isitinja properly? Mayhem that’s what.  These Mujtahid Mutlaqs* are the last thing this Ummah needs.  As if the Muslims aren’t splintered enough we get a new rising of the Masairiyoon (plural for Masair).  Let me break it down for you:

Masair A is a “Sunni”.  He himself does not know what a “Sunni” is.  Niether has he ever consulted the classical works to find the definition of “Ahlussunnah wa ‘l Jama”.  Nay, this tedious task is far too taxing on the minuscule masair minds. They can barely read the Kalima properly.  What he does know is that Scholar A put a fatwah on Scholar B and since Masair A feels connected to Hadhrat Shaykh Scholar A, he feels he has to defend him. Note, he cannot speak Arabic or Urdu to consult or verify the works, but his best friend who helped him knock out the Masairs in Masairhill told him so and hence that is the undeniable gospel Hujjah (proof) for everything he needs to know and Hujjah to declare everyone who doesn’t agree with them Kaafir.  Hence he is a Mujtahid Mutlaq number 1.

The Unique Muslim in the West

October 9, 2009

By CoolnessofHind

In an age where “scholars” compromise there own understanding of Islam for the sake of external influences, it is sometimes important to stop and think about where one’s understanding of Islam is heading and how one fits in society.  It is important to understand the responsibility of a Muslim within the Western social contruct and one’s level of adherence to the Deen.

Shaykh Abdul Qadir Gilani (ra) and tawhid…..

July 31, 2009

Salaams

It often seems the case that when we think of the Great Shaykh Abdul Qadir GIlani (ra) we think of some great mystic sufi saint.

The truth is that his great work is often missed…it was his students who were preaching tawhid on the battlefield and it was they that ALLAH(SWT) bestowed with the honour of giving the first khutbah after Salahuddin Ayyoubi (ra) retook Al Aqsa.

Please if you have a few minutes read this Khutbah

(starts bottom of page 634)

Wallahi, I was there when Br Ismail Adam Patel read this…..and it was proper moving…..

I pray that ALLAH(SWT) bestows on us the likes of Shaykh Abdul Qadir Gilani (ra), Ameen

What does Unity actually mean?

June 12, 2009

The importance of Unity. For one second don’t you dare think that this is a blog about unity. This is written for those in Islamic Societies and others who do work for this Ummah.

Importance of Unity? Let me give you this to start with. How can you believe in one Ummah the importance of one Ummah, when people go around cussing each other thinking they are on the Haq?

Want to know what this is about? This is about brothers and sisters who believe in unity and then behind the scenes with their inner circles they cuss others and have a real hate for people. Examples? People saying them dam Barelvi’s at it again, or the Salafia are from Najd. (Note how Shaykh Abdul Wahab’s name is not mentioned – I will not be the one on Qiyammah giving up my good deeds for taking his right away). Let me also say that I don’t mean that I write about the Barelvis or the Debandis and say about their Ulama. May ALLAH(SWT) give them what they deserve. I pray that ALLAH(SWT) forgives all the deceased of their sins and grants them Jannah.

Direct and Indirect Dawah

May 28, 2009

What do you think of when you say dawah?

It must mean a lecture or a talk to someone? A reminder short and sweet? A nasheed which touches the heart? A poem which stirs the emotion?

How about just being a Muslim? “What? Just be a Muslim?” Yes. Just be a Muslim? But how will we pass a message on if we don’t talk? Hmmm… well it’s not about talking the message… it’s about being the message. Holding it not only for the ten minute talk! But being that talk, believing the talk and doing the talk.

Think I’m just chatting it?
