^ So now you’re uptight cuz JJ used his name to launch a business? What would he had done, change his name because some of us are never satisfied? Come on! Think with some common sense. And the story behind his clothing business is a long one but in short, a businessman came to him and said I can let you have my stores and I take your name. Just like any businessman, that’s how you earn money. So what if charges so much? Why don’t you complain about those so-called designers who charge their customers? Seriously ***that’s just nonsense. Argument for the sake of argument IMO.

And nobody is asking YOU to feel sorry for the “mental state” of Pakistanis, alhamdulillah they are fine!

**The Prophet (saw) had a beard, so your not happy with that? The people who wear thobes try to follow sunnah as best they can and as best as the scholars understood. Are we doing anything close to even thinking of following sunnah? No really? Think about it. **

He didn’t declare anything haram, he followed a path in which such things are haram. People look up to him because they want to lead a life where they can follow the way of life Islam has set for us.

Again, nobody cares of your appreciation and respect, we have to be answerable to Allah and not any humans. We have to gain His respect!

Dignity is defined by the non-Muslims also, we’d rather sacrifice our lives before even thinking about their definition of dignity. So rather than expecting some dignified way, start studying deen and maybe start appreciating what JJ has done.

That’s my answer exactly for everything written before the part highlighted in red

Just like you, I’m not here to drive my point home. I saw something, analyzed, and came to a conclusion. And oh pahleeez, JJ is not like a benchmark that I’m dying to measure up to. As I said earlier, if I must consider someone of this age and era who I can follow the path of, Abdul Sattar Edhi Sahab shall be the first person, and probably the last, I will think of. For me, who was born as a human and will leave this world as one, JJ will probably never come even remotely close to Edhi Sahab.

As far as the beard is concerned, why is your mind making things up? Where did I say I’ve problem with his beard or anyone’s, for that matter? It’s not my business or concern whether someone chooses to keep a beard or observe hijaab. These factors neither impress me nor do they bother me.

JJ tried to follow the path of Islam? Brilliant for him! Does it mean I should start ignoring the dhong tamassha of his being oh-so-ghareeb and muflis and kangaal, and laachaar and what not? One Big NO!
