Re: Sunni Perspective on Shia Traditions
Lol, are you for real. I am not shia, I was raised hanafi edited, here in London - but since I have grown up I’ve read alot of islamic literature, both sunni and shia as well sufi, heck I’ve even read christian, Jewish and Hindu literature also. Some things I follow sunni, some things I follow shia - I pray like a sunni, I fast on 9th and 10th for Hussain not Moosa (as) (shia don’t fast on 9th or 10th - they consider it a hijacking by banu umayya by giving this event over to moosa’s (AS) memory rather then for Hussain), I don’t beat myself or force myself to cry, I don’t label every little thing biddah nor do pour cold water on the bad need for Ijthihad especially for western muslims simply by saying foloow saudi petrol funded literature courtesy of Darrusalam bookshops. I class myself as muslim now, people like you don’t get to label me. Will I ever get to a complete truth, I doubt it, alhu waalim is my response. edited I said I like Ahmed Raza Khan’s commentaries, I didn’t say I agreed with every single one edited LIke I don’t agree with evey commentary of Ghazali or say every edict passed by Al Azhar. I follow what feels right and makes logical sense. You guys follow what ever a maulvi tells you. Likewise shia’s blindly follow whatever their teachers tell them.
