At the time where many scholars of the Sub-Continent were gathering funds for the dying Ottoman Caliphate, there were many Sunni scholars in the Arab World fighting for independence from Ottoman Rule. That was neither the first nor the last time the right hand of the Ummah had no line of communication with its left.

Salafi explaining the meaning of "having your cake and eating it too": "The cake is uneaten. The meaning of being uneaten is known but the modality of uneatenness is unknown." The cake:

Dante vs Ariosto, Debaters on Social Media A Neapolitan fought fourteen duels to prove that Dante was a greater poet than Ariosto. At his deathbed, his confessor desired him, by way of penance, to acknowledge the superiority of Ariosto. “Father,” answered the dying man, “to tell the truth, I never read either Dante or Ariosto.” This anecdote sums up most people who love to debate, and especially those who debate online.

If you are trained only in the Hanafi School, that does not make you eligible to pass fatwa. At best, it might make you eligible to be a parrot. Abu Ishaq al-Shatibi said, جَعَلَ الناس العلمَ معرفةَ الاختلاف فعن قتادة: من لم يعرف الاختلاف لم يشم أنفه الفقه وعن هشام بن عبيد الله الرازي: من لم يعرف اختلاف القراءة فليس بقارئ، ومن لم يعرف اختلاف الفقهاء فليس بفقيه وعن عطاء: لا ينبغي لأحد أن يفتي الناس حتى يكون عالما باختلاف الناس، فإنه إن لم يكن كذلك رد من العلم ما هو أوثق من الذي في يديه وعن أيوب السختياني وابن عيينة: أجسر الناس على الفتيا أقلهم علما باختلاف العلماء زاد أيوب: وأمسك الناس عن الفتيا أعلمهم باختلاف العلماء وعن مالك: لا تجوز الفتيا إلا لمن علم ما اختلف الناس فيه قيل له: اختلاف أهل الرأي؟ قال: لا، اختلاف أصحاب محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، وعلم الناسخ والمنسوخ من القرآن ومن حديث الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم وقال يحيى بن سلام: لا ينبغي لمن لا يعرف الاختلاف أن يفتي، ولا يجوز لمن لا يعلم الأقاويل أن يقول هذا أحب إلي وعن سعيد بن أبي عروبة: من لم يسمع الاختلاف فلا تعده عالما وعن قبيصة بن عقبة: لا يفلح من لا يعرف اختلاف الناس Lesson? After Alimiyyah, a Hanafi student who aspires to be a parrot mufti will go to some random Darul Ifta... ...but a Hanafi graduate who wants to become an actual jurist proceeds to acquire a decent level of training in other schools from their sources and scholars. So what do you want to become?

قال الألباني: «لا يستطيع أحد أن يدعي أنه معلوم من الدين بالضرورة، وغير هذا الإجماع مما لا يمكن تصوره فضلًا عن وقوعه ... وتفصيل القول في هذا الموضوع الخطير ليس هذا موضعه، فليراجع من شاء التحقيق بعض كتب علم أصول الفقه التي لا يقلد مؤلفوها من قبلهم، مثل: «أصول الأحكام لابن حزم»، و «إرشاد الفحول» للشوكاني، ونحوهما». فالإجماع عند الألباني قاصر على المعلوم من الدين بالضرورة! فهنيئا لأهل الانحلال والشذوذ هذا القول السلفي! وازداد الشطط عند بعض النابتة فذهب إلى إنكار حجية الإجماع رأسًا، قال مقبل الوادعي: «الذي أعتقده وأدين الله به أن الإجماع ليس بحجة ... أما أننا نقول: الأدلة كتاب وسنة وإجماع: فلا، الأدلة كتاب وسنة ... فالإجماع الذي ندين الله به: أنه ليس بحجة، ويستأنس به كما أنه يستأنس بالقياس وليس بحجة». https://t.me/Rwaq_manhaji

Molvis using and abusing Darul Iftas across the world is rife. They will ask leading questions. They will offer half truths to present their rivals in the worst possible manner in the question. They will try to get an answer that settles scores with another party. Typically, they present questions with a neutral and/or hypothetical tone, but will readily apply it to a real person once the answer is returned. Sometimes, a molvi will even turn around and refute the Darul Ifta when he does not get the answer he wants. Following hawa (desire) is screamed about from the hilltops by these lot when it comes to adhering to a Madhhab (when in fact it is hotly and legitimately contested by hundreds of classical scholars). But this shouting and preaching rarely extends to the above scenarios that they perpetrate, because apparently, they can't ever possibly follow hawa given that they consider themselves to be the vanguards of the faith. In reality, these nutjobs perpetrate a far worse form of ittiba' 'l-hawa than those who do not strictly adhere to a school. I'll share later an incident to this effect.

Also, it may be kufr... but maybe it's true.

Remember guys, don’t be foolish and describe God as white, and don’t even dare to describe God as black because that is when it becomes unbelief.

The above post was deleted by the RotD channel. I utterly condemn this censorship of Brillo scholarship by these fraudsters.

The Ahlus Sunnah from the Subcontinent are often criticised (unfairly) for their lack of work but when work is actually done, those who claim to be neutral but have concealed their hatred for Barelvis inside their hearts, do not even acknowledge the work Barelvis have done even if it is good! For example, the work I just have shared above which is an Arabic explanation of Tafsir al-Baydawi... These same people will claim that Barelvis don't do any work and contribute nothing to the Ummah! They will claim Barelvis have no Arabic literature and when shown that they do, they'll retort condescendingly, 'What influence has the work had?'. عجيب

Book 235: حاشية العلوي على تفسير البيضاوي Author: Allama Wajeeh Al-Deen Al-Alawi Al-Gujrati Topic: Tafseer This is an Arabic explanation by Allama Wajeeh Al-Deen Al-Alawi Al-Gujrati on Tafseer Al-Baydawi. He was a great scholar from the Subcontinent who had many works like a commentary on Nuzhat Al-Nazr, notes on Sharh Al-Mawaqif and Mukhtasar Al-Maani and many other works. 3 volumes in total. This was edited by Allama Muhammad Haneef Khan Al-Ridawi.

A fascinating excerpt on the incredible Imam Abd al-Hayy al-Laknawi's (d. 1304/1887) scholarly output, as described by Sh. Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghuddah. (This work is translated by my brother Hamzah Hassan, and is soon to be published InSha'Allah.)

🐦📝 Step 1: Buy Twitter Step 2: Introduce verification Step 3: Get rid of user generated likes and reposts Step 4: Let algorithm determine engagement via "views" Step 5: Slowly segregate anons from verified users Step 6: Force verification Step 7: Anons fully quarantined Goal is to fully quarantine and segregate the anons from verified users. This will allow pesky "noticing" posts and "racist" content to be quickly identified, filtered, and de-boosted by the algorithm from reaching the protected verified user class. This will reinforce self-censorship as verified users know what they say is tracked by Israeli intelligence officials who have your name, address, and face. Controversial speech will be segregated and "de-boosted" and contained within the anon bubble. So all of us anons who refuse to verify will eventually be on a little island speaking to each other, but none of what we say is being heard by the verified users. Elon's final goal is the "Everything App" , the American equivalent of Chinese WeChat. Only for verified users. 🧵 Cabana Boy

«وقوع ‌الاختلاف ‌بين ‌الناس أمر ضروري لا بد منه؛ لتفاوت إراداتهم وأفهامهم وقوى إدراكهم، ولكن المذموم بغيُ بعضهم على بعض وعدوانه، وإلا فإذا كان الاختلاف على وجه لا يؤدّي إلى التباين والتحزّب، وكل من المختلفين قصده طاعة الله ورسوله، لم يضرّ ذلك الاختلاف، فإنه أمر لا بد منه في النشأة الإنسانية». ابن القيم
