I was going to call this "Them Vs Us", but I changed it to "Them & Us" See Blogs area for fuller picture.
I decided not to name it in such a way as it is not a game. (Thank you, Umm Khawla, for the correction in my post)
I was asked why I sometimes use the name and how I came to it. One day seeing the arguments and actions as well as changes in some brothers, I thought of a name in English then emailed a scholar for it to be translated for me into Arabic. Now usualy, when I ask the scholar a question, I dont get a reply until after a few days, but in this case, I was sent the translation almost instantly
"Ahl al-Sunnat al-Mansukha wa 'l-Tajdid." which means "The people of abrogated Sunnah and Evolution" Instead of "Ahle Sunnah Wal Jamaat".
There are many changes in the ways of the Ghair Muqallids.
From my experiance, I have noticed that any thing that we do as Hanafis is considered weak and from fabrications. When I present any evidence from Quran or Sunnah it gets brushed away until I find the same evidence from their own sources.
We have a back bone and we stick to it, They have the theory of evolution and they stick to it.
InshaAllah they shall finally stop evolving when they reach one of the schools of thoughts
Many times you hear the phrase "Theres is no difference in between the two"
Please note: As time goes by, the theory of evolution comes into place with these people, therefore some of the differences are no longer present.

Whilst the Ghair muqallid says she does not become haraam. (Nauzlul Abraar)

Whilst according to the Ghair muqallid it is of one rakat only.
There are many more rulings wherein there are quite a bit of differences between the Ahlus Sunnah and Ghair muqallid. How could the Ahlus Sunnah and Ahle Hadith be one and the same thing? When Hadith and Sunnat cannot be one as it has been previously indicated towards or explicitly proven, how then could Ahle Sunnat and Ahle Hadith be one?
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
