Assalaamu ‘alaykum warahmatullaah
Brother Abu Mohammad, I thought I’d let you know it was me who "disliked" your post. As I see it a brother asked for info and our respected Brother Samah responded, a couple more exchanges and the topic would’ve ended there. Your comment (especially as an Authorizer) was very disturbing and I feel strongly enough to put my view across (even though I'm not a major contributor any more, for me MS is still one of the top sites to search for authentic info) and this is just that, my own view. No one has to agree with it.
Disclaimer: I feel constrained enough to add a disclaimer that I am not a “Fangirl†and I have no special connection with The Majlis except that of an ordinary Muslim respecting Scholars of high calibre and their work of Deen (Of which I take what I feel is beneficial for me).
The whole world is against us (The Muslim ummah),
Battered and humiliated, we stand alone.
Nowhere to go, no-one to turn to.
Yet instead of standing united, it is “Them†& “Us†within ourselves!
Who are “The Majlis�
They are “Us†brother. They are not out of the fold of Islam and they are not a deviant group even though many have fallen under the sharp sword of their criticism. Nevertheless they are still part of the whole body where if one part is hurting the whole body should feel pain!
You are asking members to make a choice between MS and Majlis because MS came under the sharp sword of The Majlis criticism so does that make The Majlis “Them� Do they deserve such hatred when even the most sinful do not deserve that?
If so then something has gone very wrong here!
Innaa lillaahi wainnaa ilayhi raaji’oon!
