@abuseyfain And my view is not what is claimed to have been said by IT, rather, I say:
they were mutual peers, without denying that Imam Ja'far was in knowledge arguably superior; acknowledging how he benefited the other Imam. None of this necessitates the Salaf's teacher-student thesis.
@abuseyfain None of what you shared inherently proves the dubious notion that they had this romanticised antique's classical teacher-student relationship.
In-fact, if you had paid attention, I explicitly said that he wasn't a teacher in the strict sense. Imam Baqir, sure, not Imam Ja'far.
@abuseyfain He wasn't really a teacher strictly speaking, not at least of Imam Abu Hanifa, assuming you're familiar with their actual ages; they were rather mutual peers who exchanged and held discussions, and even had their disagreements.
Imam Ja'far was respected due to the Prophet (ﷺ).
@Vakken1 Peter doesn't specify any category like you're making up, he simply says miracles in general that Jesus did among them, thus he's referring to all of them.
You keep rambling how it doesn't explain when the story clearly does.
Don't waste my time, go read before commenting.
@Vakken1 The so-called foreshadowing which your church fathers innovated centuries after Jesus do not invalidate the simple straightforward explanation that Islam gives, including the ancient Prophets and even someone like Peter!
I'd rather agree with these great men over you.
@Vakken1@eternalbread_ I'm not missing anything as there's no valid point being made.
The narrative is simple: the same narrative which Peter gives in your books; to signify the power of God's capabilities so they attend to His warnings.
So unless you believe Peter's simple narrative is flawed too...
@Vakken1@eternalbread_ The same can be said about Christianity, in-fact this is precisely what many atheists argue, so you're essentially repeating atheistic arguments.
The Qur'an already answers: the purpose is to signify the power of God; the exact explanation given by Peter for Jesus' miracles.
@l5sopt There is nothing wrong with using “AS” for Companions like Abu Bakr (r), but some confused and ignorant Sunni Muslims end up harbouring resentment towards Ali (r) and his noble family due to constantly debating Shi'a.
Combatting extremism with extremism results in extremism.
