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.

I’ve had quite a few brothers message me over the last few months, letting out their frustrations and asking me for advice regarding marriage.

Some of them have gotten divorced and screwed over by their ex-wives, others have tried to get married multiple times but were unable to due to the inability to find a woman who meets their criteria. The standards are extremely basic, but sadly due to current societal and economic circumstances, the bare minimum has become difficult to find. And many times, the men do not meet the (quite frankly, extremely unrealistic) criteria of the women.

A lot of disgusting behavior and habits have been enabled by our so-called community leaders. The root cause of all this is compounded ignorance of the Dīn.

My advice to all of the brothers who are trying to get married is: Do not get married to a woman that doesn’t have a basic understanding of ACTUAL fiqh. She will make your life a living nightmare. You do NOT want a female citing Nouman Ali Khan and Omar Suleiman when you have marital disputes. A woman who doesn’t understand the rights of the husband and wife in Islām should not be given a second thought. I don’t care how attractive you find her.

Even following the above will not guarantee that everything will go smoothly. I’ve had brothers inform me that so-called ʿālimahs will use their knowledge of the Dīn and respective rights against their husbands in secular courts on the basis of “Human Rights Violations” (which is an act of clear-cut nifāq).

Vet her carefully. Don’t let the fantasy you have of someone, or your idealized image of them, blur your vision of reality. Being overly cautious and potentially missing out on something that could have been good is better than impulsively jumping into something that could potentially ruin the rest of your life. Potential ≠ Outcome.

I urge all of you, women especially, to really think about how much damage this is all going to cause long-term. A lot of people may be “living life”, “enjoying themselves”, “keeping themselves occupied”, but in reality this is all just going to come out in the wrong way over time. What we’re dealing with now is unprecedented.

No stable marriages means no stable families, and that will be disastrous for the future of our Ummah.

For those who asked, the best green flags in a woman would be:

- Strong understanding of Islām as a comprehensive and wholistic worldview.
- Religious and competent father and/or brother(s).
- Feminine and understands her role.
- Actual intelligence (no Uni degree needed).
