The number of people who privately message me and tell me they agree with me but can’t publicly say it because they’re afraid of the backlash… 🤣

People will respect you more when you speak your mind. You shouldn’t care about what stupid people think.

Only a matter of time before we have feminists and simps saying:

“Polygyny may be explicitly permissible, but that doesn’t make it moral or ethical.”

To those who are arguing:

“Just because something is permissible, doesn’t mean it should be done”.

I actually agree.

Just because it may be hypothetically permissible for a woman to get a degree and a career (under very unrealistic and impractical circumstances, of course), that doesn’t mean it should be done :)

But of course, many of the same people using this argument for one masʾala, will turn around and say “THERE IS NOTHING ḤARĀM ABOUT WOMEN GETTING EDUCATED”.

For those intelligent enough to keep up, just think about how that back and forth would go and what arguments those people will bring forward (because we’ve heard them all a million times at this point), and compare it to the arguments for the misyār masʾala.

(Hint for the dense: You’ll come to find that both those things are not ideal, there CAN be some nuance in both these issues DUE TO CURRENT UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES. The difference is, one of them just happens to go against the sensibilities of the CURRENT dominant ideology, while the other is perfectly in line with it.)

But you see, these people don’t actually care about what is in the best interest of Muslims, or what is ḥalāl and ḥarām, or what is really in line with the Maqāsid of the Sharīʿah. Their positions and opinions are driven by individualism. As much as these people may claim Islām, their fickle “morality” is grounded in social norms, foreign ideologies, and self-interest.

See? When you dogpile on people due to knee-jerk emotional reactions, without any in-depth analysis or nuance, you feed into the delusion of people like this.

I appreciate that he refrained from making explicit takfīr of me.

Because this one did not… 🤣

Imām Zāhid al-Kawtharī (d. 1371) warns Muslims About Pseudo-Scholars Who, Under the Guise of Scholarship, Seek to Alter Sharīʿah to Fit Contemporary Customs and Interests:

"The Muslim regrets deeply the existence of people in the attire of scholars driven by the desire for prominence to appear as though they are correcting the early fuqahā and attempting to innovate methods by which they distort words from their proper places and make the clear,
straightforward Sharīʿah adaptable to time.

This is done to gain favor with those who do not harbor any good intentions for Islām.

You see them saying:

"We have ʿurf and maṣlahah, by which rulings change, and we have many examples of this kind."

They want to make the Sharīʿah of Allāh adaptable to time and circumstances, like their fluid minds that accept every shape with every circumstance.

Yes, among the irreligious Western philosophers there are those who seek a religion [Dīn] adaptable to time, but this desire is nothing but a trap they want to ensnare their imitators from the East's naive, philosophizing offspring."

– Maqālāt al-Kawtharī

The brother has been actively posting excellent content, including translations and excerpts from the works of Shaykh al-Islām Mustafa Sabrī and Imām Zāhid al-Kawtharī.

Also follow the Ḥanafī School Telegram Channel. Me and a few other brothers are running it. A lot of excellent content on there as well, particularly ʿaqīdah.

So many layers of stupidity, ignorance, and irony in one screenshot. I don’t even know where to begin. I get a headache every time I open this app.

:P

Blimey, now he says we have to overlook the theological differences between Sunnis and Shia Dogs when there is a “common political objective”.

This same reasoning could be applied to the Assad regime, should we be all kumbaya with Nusayris because they are (supposedly) “resisting the Zionistsssssss !!!” ?

Something that Sheikh Asrar does not seem to understand is that these groups (whether it’s Houthis or HezboShit or anyone else) do not actually oppose the Jews, it’s all theatre and drama.
