Assalamu Alaykum,

I did consider that and realised that there's not much if not any discussions or debates about people or groups except for the format of question followed by replies relating to the actual research on the group.

Second point was that with the group being open to memberships, it's still public but with extra steps to take.

Third point was that they cannot really intefere unless they're registered and request group membership and if found to be nuisance can easily be kicked out or even banned if required (Muadh_Khan has experience in the banning department so I'm sure he can confirm it's effective right?)

And final point to consider is that I can understand the restriction if the group was aimed at a particular group such as Ulamaa, teachers, Huffaaz, lawyers but as it's not, I looked at the benefit it can give to people unaware of usergroups, forums, memberships and also google can access it and index it for people to find it from search engines.

keeping all the above in mind, please let me know what you think. As it is a privately requested group, the final decision has to be yours. Either way, I understand both decisions and the reasons. Jazakallah

PS. There's still a month before you travel but inshaAllah the group will continue to provide.

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

I pray this finds you all in the very best of health and spirits. May Allah grant you the best of this life and the next.

I just thought I'd clarify a few things:

(1) I left SunniPath in order to focus on a number of other projects, which are a more immediate priority--including the Razi Institute here in Toronto (Canada); an online answers service project with some scholars... and, yes, the SeekersMedia project, on the side.

(2) I am very much a murid of Shaykh Nuh Keller. I have found nothing but benefit, blessing, and increase in good through this association, and have no thought of ending it.

(3) I don't write or edit my Wikipedia entry, so omission of teacher names, biographical details, or inclusion of inaccuracies is not of my doing or promoting.

May Allah grant us sincerity in seeking His pleasure, above all else, and to serve the Umma of His Beloved Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), and to spread the light of his guidance and teachings (peace and blessings be upon him), at transmitted by his noble companions, family, and inheritors (Allah be pleased with them all).
