3rd discourse, from ayat 3 onwards, shaykh dr haitham al haddad

[  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD9UDGWYNX0  ]


18:20         an interesting seldom heard hadith from umar al khattab about nabi's personal 
                  life.....' ya umar, don't you want that the duniya is for them and the akhirat is for                          us? '.

25:15        another interesting story from umar al khattab, a profound insight into nabi's
                 personal life.


33:00       repentance..

48:20       the worst sin a muslim can do.

52:10       people who claim they are muslims  but insults nabi's are less likely to be guided to
                 taubah........some scholars viewpoint.


1:0002    on taubah....

1:05:00   sunnat prayer better at home than in masjid.









maulid is just around the corner, let us  take a short rest from 'the heart surgeon' for a while....let us go across the globe and listen to some dissenting current views, short snippets at least, from those outside the nejd desert, regarding maulid and issues on bidaah.

the nejd desert is famous for emanating 'fundamental views and cutting  and pruning the 1450 years old islamic tree to just a branch of their choice', as if that can be done easily by saying this and that hadith is not acceptable.... at some 400  to 500 years after nabi , their choice of hadith experts can still tell with a high degree of certainty that this hadith is gharib, that is hasan and  'only the 4,000 that my tok guru's tok guru's tok guru knew by heart are   soheeh'. 

they feel their limited tok guru's tok guru have a monopoly of knowledge and sanad.
that to me is the essence of the malaise and 'illness' affecting this group of people, and they are increasing in number daily......the younger generation, devoid of enough knowledge and wisdom take to this school like ducks to water!

to top this up, ijtihad and thinking have all been done by the 12th century.
no more thinking is required

this  is what tj winter brands as the 'fallacy of the salafis'

their choice of scholars at best is myopic,  limited to 3 only, abdul wahab, ibnu qayyim and ibnu taymiah, and the rest can go and fly kites!...rubbishing hundreds if not thousands of scholarly discourse zuhudness and hundreds or thousands of 'purified and transformed souls.'..............

personally i used to belong to this 'nejd' school in my early years of visiting the two holy mosque almost on an annual basis. 
i have been 'there'.

i envy their fundamentalist and rather simplistic approach to the 'ugama'. 
i can understand their very morbid fear.

as the years passed i realize there are many ways to 'skin a cat' and 'taste the honey' and come to appreciate differences and the nuance for such differences.

as in everything else in life , in ugama also there are levels and levels!

just move away from maulid for while and just take a non critical look at our post congrega tional prayer wirid :

the nejd crowd would lament the group wird post prayer in all our local masjid as ' bida'ah! bida'ah! bida'ah!'...fullstop.

they forgot the element of caramaderie amongst neighbours and friends; the shaking hands after prayer and the small friendly chatter amongst friends.

they forgot that post prayer wirid is akin to a group zikr, 5 times a day! only happening here in malaysia and indonesia and to some extent turkey [ the old ottomans are not stupid! ].

all these young upstarts from nejd to wang kelian forgot that if within the hundred or so congregation there is a 'wali', his 'amin' of the collective post prayer do'a could well be acceptable to allah, and that weightage alone could carry the whole congregation!

instead, they go on with their , 'bida'ah! bida'ah! bida'ah!'......to the exclusion of everything else, ad nauseum.
