This is a challenge that my parents always identified to me when they discussed deen/shaykhs…relinquishing your own ability to understand the verses of the quran in favour of a Shaykh whose own words could be left for poetic interpretation…so much room for confusion!

In my own mind the statement from the Shaykh could mean nothing more than this:
If you were of pure heart and mind then you would see huzoor s.a.w. as such and if you were far from the righteous path then you would not see his piety and you would turn away as the kuffar did.

With respect I don’t suffer from the problem that you mention. Such issues are prevalent in people who have no or little worldly education. I consider myself humbly a scientist and philosopher … It would be against my programming not to question … Rather I try to find solutions to problems … I don’t merely stop at asking questions.

Rather I believe the opposite is true … That people are so affected by modernity they are believing less and less in miracles and finding scientific understandings in all matters and choose to reject the wonderous and amazing.

Your interpretation of my Shaykh is correct, but it does not negate the other position in fact they complement each other.
