Psyah is not sure so lets leave him to study, However I have some things to say
That was not a Barelvi site, it was a site of people who follow traditional Islam, a group from Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah. So they are similar in beliefs, and they can be called barelvi but only in certain contexts
You label that site, so you must have a label for yourself, no? Tell us what group you belong to
“…Now another group has sprung up, seeking recognition by using scientific knowledge as the basis for Iman (faith). Anything contrary to their understanding of science is discarded from their principles of faith…” “…Can these people who are influenced by the new innovators in religion, the Wahabi/Salafi movement, …”
The wahabi/salafi movement is an innovation, a brand new one at that. Currently they are playing imam to the people described above, and there is proof in this thread for that
There is no Shadow at Midday, so it must be interpreted
Mohsin khan has even included this point as part of his translation of the Quran:
Have you not seen how your Lord spread the shadow. If He willed, He could have made it still - But We have made the sun its guide (i.e. after the sunrise, the shadow shrinks and vanishes at midnoon and then again appears in the afternoon with the decline of the sun, and had there been no sunlight, there would have been no shadow). Al-Furqan 45
The hadith must mean the outline of The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi wa Ahlihi wa Sallam,
If this is half valid it means it is a proof for the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi wa Ahlihi wa Sallam Not having a Shadow, since the midday is prominently mentioned. Remember two of the hadiths sighted mention no shadow on the floor, specifically floor
This particular hadith recorded by Imam Ahmad could, could, even be proof for the belief depending on some specifics that we do not know. Its certainly not a straight forward rebuttal of the belief
This has no bearing, although quiet clearly it is an outline
[A/I`mran 3:106] On the Day (of Resurrection) when some faces will be shining and some faces black; so, (to) those whose faces are blackened, “What! You disbelieved after you had accepted faith! Therefore now taste the punishment, the result of your disbelief.”
There is actually alot more then just these scholars, however the Ahlus Sunnah list a few people as to validate/substantiate the position
Interesting use of the christian calendar, to make them seem ‘‘latter day’’
‘‘I want it from Imam Abu Hanifa?’’ Issues of virtues and history are not expected to come from every source, although some of them names are narrators on a similar topics. I have heard their names in sanads of Noor Narrations
They do, I’ll go with that
The mushrikeen were deaf dumb and blind. They couldn’t even see miracles were happening around them all the time, lack of a Shadow could easily go missed by them
I don’t even look out for shadows, if i saw a group of people or even a single person - I could easily miss it if one of them did not have Shadow. It’s certainly not something that i look out for
What seerah/history books would be better then the Shifa of Imam Iyad?, its inclusion in books is proof of its validity as a standalone virtue [fazail] whether its in seerat books or not
