Shaykh Riyadul Haq mentions in one of his talks that we must not become apologists. What is haq is haq and should be proclaimed whether people understand it or not.
as i said before he knows those rules better then me and you ever will and is very on the game when it comes to dealing with the media. to judge him on that one statement is way off the mark. he's a person who shines of quran and sunnah both inwardly and outwardly. until you (you - cause your the only one thinking this about him) ask him (or maybe another aalim) why he said that or if there is (or isnt) any hikmah behind his choosing those particular words for his answer.
if you are an aalim then you have every right to make those comments on Shaikh Mogra if you are not then let aalims disagree/discuss with other aalims. not laymans disagreeing with aalims using quotes from other aalims.
p.s my last post on this.
...but as 'daywalker' (???) said, the issue hre is that crittism can only be given by those worthy of critising i.e Ulama. this is not such a simple sistuation as to just 'speak the Haq'.
No doubt the Prophet 
was on the Haq in the early days in Makkah and when some of his Sahaba requested to proclaim the Haq openly in the Haram the Prophet initally advised them against it...
...Hikmah 'Muhummud H' is not so simple as you may see it...another example is Umr Radiallaho anho at Hudaybiya - he was so angry that he went to Nabi and said to the effect "are you not the Messenger of Allah?" "are we not on the Haq?" and complained that why do the muslims not go straight to Makkah and do what must be done - Nabi was saddened by this and Allah سبحانه وتعالى revealed Surah Fath ayat "Indeed We have given you a CLEAR VICTORY..."
Subhan Allah, Hudaybiya on face value may have seemed pathetic for the Muslims and restrictive, thus Umar's Radiallho anho frustation but Allah سبحانه وتعالى calls it a CLEAR VICTORY..
...Hikmah isn't so simple a thing...
Allah سبحانه وتعالى Knows Best!
Subhanallah! You've made the point very eloquently, Talib 123.
Jazakallah khairun.
It is often very difficult to implement such hikmah, but usually the reason for this difficulty is because we still have so much faith in our own understanding that we cannot entertain the thought of it being imperfect or yet in progress.
True humility is what is required. May Allah grant this to us all, insha allah. Aameen

Ibrahim Mogra was asked a question and the truth should have been spoken.
Unfortuantely it is not the first occasion on which his actions can or have been called into question. The lead-in to one of his programmes on Radio Ramadhan was accompanied by music with no objection and his madressa (which my cousin attends) has permitted the watching of the World Cup to preclude children from missing Madressa.
The fact that he is an aalim does not render him exempt from censure.

Molana Riyadul Haq also appears on TV with his own slots on Channel Islam which is very heavily laced with music also?? Don't see much fuss being created over that.
I personally don't. His talks are sooo beneficial for us UK Muslims. we need more like him!. Its best if you spoke directly with Shaikh Mogra 1st like some have said to get a better understanding of his actions (or hikmah??) - if after that you still come to the same conclusion then and only then you'd have every right to.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
Please wait...
