@FInherhair22071 @HeckelPame73227 @elonmusk Living the tradition is not the same as having many churches. The same can be said for mosques. Countless religious buildings, yet hearts are empty. Religion was meant to help us know one another, love one another, and transform our hearts toward good, not to spread hatred.

@HeckelPame73227 @elonmusk The West is not Christian. It is mostly secular athiest. Except for maybe nuns and monks, most Christians don't follow scripture to any degree of seriousness.

@freemonotheist @luqman_touray Paul, you can’t keep one foot with the Salafis and the other with the Sufis indefinitely. Sooner or later, you’ll have to decide where you truly stand.

@Bikeguy65 @MaximusChud @Geostrategic777 expansion and colonial policies. What was done in India under British colonial rule included systemic exploitation, economic extraction, repression, and policies that caused immense suffering.

[El-Chief @El_Chief1]

@Bikeguy65 @MaximusChud @Geostrategic777 You’ve been fed propaganda. Colonial Britain was deeply exploitative and brutal. In the 18th and 19th centuries, ordinary people in Britain lived through poverty, disease, overcrowding, and terrible sanitation, while wealthy elites benefited disproportionately from imperial...

@Louise681145 @Molly85224872 @5Pillarsuk What about people who date the opposite sex, then later try same-sex relationships, or the other way around?

@Louise681145 @Molly85224872 @5Pillarsuk Being gay is not an immutable physical characteristic like skin colour.

@Bikeguy65 @MaximusChud @Geostrategic777 Your government chose to invade, exploit, kill, and displace brown people, then invited many of them in to fill labour shortages. You don’t get to claim victimhood while ignoring that history.

Henry’s murder was tragic and reprehensible, but it pales in comparison.

@Louise681145 @Molly85224872 @5Pillarsuk Why should your opinions count more than someone else’s simply because their views are influenced by religion?

@smile2jannah Salafis have created an environment where this sort of nonsense can flourish, and in doing so they've often damaged Islam's image.

@AkramKarani @onemassage122 @YasirAlHanafi You're an idiot.

[El-Chief @El_Chief1]

@AkramKarani @onemassage122 @YasirAlHanafi Classical scholars have, thankfully, already addressed these issues in detail. You may find it useful to study them within an Ashʿarī or Māturīdī madrassah, where these discussions are treated in their proper scholarly context.

@AkramKarani @onemassage122 @YasirAlHanafi Also, tabarruk was done by the salaf after the Prophet's passing ﷺ.

[El-Chief @El_Chief1]

@AkramKarani @onemassage122 @YasirAlHanafi Why only restrict this to the Prophet’s lifetime? That seems to be an interpretive addition, since the hadith itself does not explicitly state that limitation. The wording mentions seeking means of intercession (tawassul), not merely asking the Prophet ﷺ to make duʿā.

[El-Chief @El_Chief1]

@AkramKarani @onemassage122 @YasirAlHanafi If the intention was only a personal supplication from the Prophet ﷺ, why would he instead teach a structured formula of tawassul rather than simply making duʿā for the person?

@AkramKarani @onemassage122 @YasirAlHanafi Companions applied his saliva to heal wounds — Sahih al-Bukhari

Companions sought blessing from his leftover ablution water — Sahih al-Bukhari

Companions preserved and sought blessing from his clothing (burdah) — Sahih Muslim

[El-Chief @El_Chief1]

@AkramKarani @onemassage122 @YasirAlHanafi Companions sought blessing from the Prophet ﷺ’s hair after his haircut — Sahih al-Bukhari

Companions collected and used his sweat for fragrance and blessing — Sahih Muslim

[El-Chief @El_Chief1]

@AkramKarani @onemassage122 @YasirAlHanafi Yes, there are examples.
And stop repeating the same thing. Worship is to Allah alone, even in Tawassul, only Allah provides.

"Seek a means (wasilah) to Allah” — Qur’an 5:35

[El-Chief @El_Chief1]

@AkramKarani @onemassage122 @YasirAlHanafi Where we differ is on tawassul: you are adopting a minority classical view, whereas the majority of Muslims historically have held the mainstream classical position.

[El-Chief @El_Chief1]

@AkramKarani @onemassage122 @YasirAlHanafi The Prophet does not independently grant anything; all granting is from Allah alone. This is not a matter of dispute within the Ashʿarī or Māturīdī schools, so we are agreed on that point.
