Too Extreme

Re: Too Extreme

Peace All,

@Captain_Obvious

So are you saying that we’re thinking learn (ing trades or skills for jobs in different fields is seen by people as a way to gain hasana? And that people who instruct their children to learn Qur’an and hadith are seen as extreme? I’m still not clear on what exactly is being discussed here.

Pardon me if my earlier posts wasn’t making sense to you. In simple line "I’m asking that if you do a good deed, others follows that good deed (by copying from you) and very slowly slowly, as time passes take a new trend and become a part of our religion that if we say do not do or provide authentic source then that good deed become matter of debate among many.

Hope this time i’ am able to explain the point. The above phrase is something different then this and we’ll take about that too when we finish from this issue.

@psyah

Peace lethal kamikaze no it is not wrong to counter check … But the correct way to counter check is 2 ways:

1. Study their characters
2. Check to see if they have ijaza from their peers and their scholars.

Trying to cross-examine a scholar using knowledge is impossible for a layperson … Because they would first have to learn themselves … When a person tries to say that such and such is wrong and that he is right is to lay claim that he has more knowledge and by saying is implicitly saying that he is more qualified.

However, through the Mercy of Allah (SWT) we can truly all see the fruits of the right path coming from a good strong authentic lineage and that is to look upon him for good character. You don’t have to be a scholar to recognise good character, but you do have to be a scholar to recognise good knowledge. Secondly, you don’t need to be scholar to see that someone has many ijazaat … And you know in what subject they have received it too.

Psyah Bhai, now that is something new I heard that some need/should have ‘ijaaza’ from ‘peer/scholar’. As per my little knowledge there is a hadith that one who request for ‘wisdom’, Almighty Allah grant him ‘wisdom’. I never came across about this ‘ijaaza’ issue.

Will u plz be kind and tell us more about it, if u don’t mind.

@Sa1eem

I think there is lot of misunderstanding regarding Bidah (in Islam) … in other words … that does not harm anyone, could earn a person reward. (Reward would be there, if not for the deed then at least for the intention of doing something good)

Sa1eem, for your input. I believe your post is not only helpful to me but for others too who read it. Anyhow my point wasn’t about two to three rakats but it was about something else (see reply of CO).
