Bismillah irrahman irrahim
Assalamu alaykum
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us in Holy Qur'an that believers are mercyful to each other, they have compassion for each other and they support each other. All of us know that we are muslims alhamdulillah because we submit to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. We love the good and hate the bad for sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and we should love each other for His sake too.
We know this and so many other things mentioned in Holy Qur'an and taught by Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wassalam but following them is another thing.
One of brother has quoted a beautiful saying of Ali radhiAllah anhu that don't judge the haq by worth of people who follow it but know haq and then judge men who follow it as worthy.
I am sure many of you would know the incident when a man was having an arguement with Abubakr radhiAllah anhu and Sayyidina Muhammad sallallhu alayhi wassalam was standing by him. As soon as Abubakr radhiAllah anhu started fight back, Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wassalam walked off. Later on Abubakr did ask the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wassalam as to why he left. And he said when you were quiet an angel was with you but when you started arguing it went and a shaitan replaced it and he dint want to be in company of a shaitan.
I am not saying that walking away every time is a good thing some times when you are thought of as wrong wrongfully or you staying quiet is taken as weakness, you can speak. But there is a way for it and the outcome of haq being high is a good cause to fight.
What are we really fighting for here?
What is the winner going to achieve other than insulting fellow muslims and some knowledgeable people.
What is purpose of a life of a muslim? Pleasing Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala! Do you think this show is going to be pleasing to our Lord?
We need to know the haq first and then see the next step, our haq is in the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah. First three years of me seeing some sense and alhamdulillah trying to learn and follow our religion, I did nothing but try to understand Holy Qur'an through translations, tafaasir and similar things. You know when i pick an aqida book what i see, everything of it is mentioned of it somewhere is Holy Qur'an. As soon as the author or translator goes away from the main theme and present his views, you realise they are his views. It is upto a person to agree with them or not, you should not just jump up and start accusing the person of all sorts.
I have read works of ibn Taymiyah and also of Nuh ha mim keller, i see the devotion of both of them to search the truth. Majority of time both of them have a very well rounded opinion which is mainstream. Why do we need to pick up a minute point which is their view and doubt their whole life effort? All we need to do is judge it by the haq of Holy Qur'an and Sunnah and not follow it.
No way am i implying that i know all truth and what i know is the only truth, astaghfirullah. All i am asking of you is to see how Holy Qur'an describes a believer, how Sunnah tells us about the behaviour of Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wassalam and how companions used to behave, then judge what is happening here and does your behaviour resemble their ways?
A muslim is the one who wants rest of humanity to come to this submission and we are making fun of our brethern.
If there is another thread started in this stream of hatred with no other purpose but to disrespect some one who has different view than yours, I am going to delete it.
Any other reply in already existing threads which is to insult others and widening the fraction between muslims, I am going to delete it.
I know some people might say too much censorship but i had enough, if you have better idea i am all ears.
Wassalam
------------- Say: (O Muhammad) If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your faults, and Allah is Forgiving, MercifuL
