I no longer subscribe to any particular creedal school.

For those asking for more details:

Most people who claim labels to different creedal schools don’t actually understand their own school’s positions or the positions of other schools and how exactly they differ.

Differences continue to be oversimplified or misrepresented by people who have no clue what they’re talking about or don’t have the knowledge to be delving into such topics to begin with.

I also find the ʿaqīdah debates to be dragged out and bordering on unnecessary. A lot of you treat these polemics like your own personal form of entertainment. It is cringe and inappropriate. ʿIlm deserves more respect than this.

This also extends to the polemics between Ṣūfīs and Salafīs. I am over all that. There are charlatans in both camps just as there are decent and sharp brothers in both camps (I wouldn’t say it is equally distributed though lol).

There is nothing wrong with subscribing to a creedal school. Students of knowledge should stick to the curriculum that their teachers set up for them, which will usually correspond with their respective creedal school. No issue at all in this.

I just don’t find the labels indicative of any actual firmly held positions that have been established through actual contemplation and knowledge.

ʿAbdulRaḥmān Ḥasan says being friends with an Ashʿarī is the same thing as being friends with a Dāʿishī… 💀

Enjoy, InshāʾAllāh :)

In this clip, Mark Hanson, AKA Hamza Yusuf, does the following:

- Calls the idea of Islamic Law coming back a “modern fantasy”.
- ⁠Outright says he is against the implementation of Sharīʿah.
- ⁠Says that the Sharīʿah is “long gone, and has been long gone”.

In this clip, Mark Hanson, AKA Hamza Yusuf, does the following:

• Says the Palestinians should not fight back because they are weaker.
• Says the Palestinians should just show themselves as weak so the world will feel bad for them.
• Patronizes the Palestinians by saying “he doesn’t judge them” for their “poor decisions” because “maybe they’ve just become crazy due to their situation”.

• Posters from the UAE normalization agenda that clearly have him and his Shaykh, ʿAbdullah Bin Bayyah, another UAE bootlicker and traitor.

In this clip, Mark Hanson, AKA Hamza Yusuf:

• OUTRIGHT LIES by denying the obligation of Khilāfah.
• CLAIMS CONSENSUS ON HIS LIE and cites a ḥadīth that HE KNOWS is not a proof for his lies because he IS LEARNED and KNOWS the positions of the classical scholars AS WELL AS HOW UṢŪL AL-FIQH WORKS!
• Mocks the idea of implementation of Islamic law again, and tells the citizens OF A MUSLIM MAJORITY COUNTRY to stay under their secular laws.

In this clip, Mark Hanson, AKA Hamza Yusuf:

• Tries to present Benjamin Netanyahu as “emotionally damaged”, trying to garner sympathy for that filthy dog.
• Claims Netanyahu’s brother was killed by a Palestinian mujāhid (which isn’t even true, not that it would change ANYTHING if it was).

Mark Hanson, AKA Hamza Yusuf, mocking the Syrian revolution.

Of course people will ignore this.

Because they just can’t denounce people from their own firqah. Or their friends and buddies. Too much social and financial risk for scholars to speak out against this filth.

And we wonder why the Ummah is in the state that it is in.

سئل الشيخ ابن عليش المالكي رحمه الله تعالى: هل هناك مخلوق أفضل من نبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم؟ وإذا قلت: لا مخلوق أفضل منه، فما تقول فيمن اعتقد أن مخلوقا أفضل منه صلى الله عليه وسلم، وما الحكم فيه؟ فأجاب: أجمع المسلمون على أن سيدنا محمدا صلى الله عليه وسلم أفضل من باقي المخلوقين من الإنس والملائكة والجن، وشاعت أفضليته وذاعت وصارت كالمعلومات الضرورية حتى عند العوام ... فيجب على كل مكلف اعتقادها، ومن لم يعتقدها وجحدها بعد التعليم فهو كافر مرتد فيستتاب ثلاثة أيام، فإن تاب نجا؛ وإلا قتل بالسيف.
