Dear Brothers,
I am further suprised. I was impressed by the blog of brother Azad Ali and now I am impressed with this one. I did not expect this.
I fear the tests that are about to come and feel quite alone in my community. Some people/leader in community think that they are smarter then the British establishment.

Wassalam,

Jk brother Abu Abdullah for the comments. You are absolutely correct when you state that we need to unite in preserving and safeguarding the true comprehensive nature of the Shar’iah, and its place and relevance in the contemporary world. As you know my dear brother there is a concerted effort from some people to demolish the concept and reality of the Shari’ah governing all facets of our life. This also unfortunately has come from certain muslims who do not consider politics, for instance, to be part of shariah, and it is very regrettable to see that they are joining forces with the enemies of Islam to dismantle the comprehensive nature of the Shariah. By the way, i am not referring to Ed and the QF!

The problem is akhi, we muslims know we must unite and not bicker about issues that have been clarified by our masters in the past and present. However, the reality is that many muslims are still fighting in subsidiary and minor issues. We shun and label people by giving them derogatory names simply because he or she may differ with us on a fiqhi matter.

May Allah protect us

wallahu ‘alam

(ps. the against Ed was of course light-hearted, he pales into insignificance compared to the other issues confronting us)

Salam alaikum brothers,

Abdullah al-Hasan – definately we need unity

We have always known this – but unity based upon what we are against is not sufficient for true progress (such as against the media misrepresentation, against British foreign policy, against Ed….)

We also need to have unity upon something positive – so we need to explore what are those positive issues that we have to unite upon (and at the same time that will inform us of what we can leave to the side from our disagreements).

This current climate for example is teaching us slowly that we have to be united upon protecting our understanding of Shari’a – irrespective of our various fiqhi opinions within the legal boundaries.

If we could explore this more i think it would be of great benefit

Amin. May Allah give us the strength to uphold his deen and stand to face those who seek to change or obscure the truth. May Allah make us representatives of the deen in the best possible way, in the footsteps of our Beloved, Muhammad, may the peace and blessings of Allah be showered upon him. May we stay steadfast for the good and forbid the evil, may we become examples to our brethren and our non-Muslim community – with whome we will continue to do da’wah, so they may become our brothers and sisters inshaAllah.

May Allah give you all tawfeeq brothers and sisters, to whome I am most honoured to be with in this dunya. Amin.
