Re: Past fatwas (about 500 years ago) on pictures of the Prophet (pbuh)
No…Abdul Wahhab is not my messenger but he is someone whom I take a scholar…
See, the problem with me is that I am a Muslim…For whatever reason I cannot be made to hate someone or dislike someone because someone tells me to…
The elders of the Jews started a propaganda against Christ to make people hate him and they succeeded…They made people hate the Christ so much that they had him crucified all because someone told them believe it…
Today, in the media, many Muslims are being trained like Pavlov’s dogs to dislike many aspects of Islam which include hatred for scholars and pious people such as Abdul Wahab :rehm:…Because his teachings forbid the inclusion of even the tineiest innovaton, this gives trouble to the Kuffar to train the Muslims or slip into Islam things that will benefit them through Muslims…
In Islam we do not hate or dislike those scholars who have a history of great sacrifices and pure, proven knowledge that guides…
Today Muslims are trained to dislike Wahabbism and Abdul Wahhab :rehm: and obviously many Muslims were quick to be trained…I was trained, but thankfully I broke free from my mental shackles and realized what the truth is…
Tomorrow if the Kuffar train the Muslims to dislike Hamza Yusuf, dislike Cat Stevens, dislike Quran, dislike the Holy Prophet :saw:, I have no doubt many will be quick in training to receive new doctrines…
So, just because Wahabbism and Abdul Wahhab :rehm: are considered bad by the kuffar is in no way going to make me change what I believe and think about them.
You are free to choose your guides…Whether they are the Kuffar training the Muslims who to bark after or the scholars who guide to the Truth…
