🧵 Glad to see we’re finally having a conversation about fathers abusing their daughters. Muslims have a wrong perception about parenthood as though all parents are infallible god-like beings. This needs to change.

Many young men tend to think their parents are paragons of virtue, only to get married and their wives have to go living hell at home. Yet they still won’t rethink their perception of their parents.

This isn’t to say that having human flaws makes someone a bad person. Not at all. What I’m saying is that if someone is outright narcissistic, abusive or sexually perverted, that’s far beyond a mere flaw. They are bad people who need help.

🧵 There are rules related to takfir.

1) A person enters Islam only by declaring the two statements of faith (shahadatayn). Once the shahadatayn are said, a person is definitively Muslim, even if there are strong indications otherwise.

The Shariʿah considers the utterance of the shahadatayn to be certainty, even though philosophically it may not be the case. We learn this from the following hadith.

🧵 How can I tribute a man who was perhaps the greatest scholar of our generation? A man who didn’t need ‘Shaykh’ or ‘Mufti’ before his name. A man who was an entire league his own. Taha Karaan. May Allah have mercy on his soul.

His unparalleled intelligence, sharp memory and impressive credentials aside, Shaykh Taha Karaan was a man whose warmth of character would melt the hardest of hearts.

In 2017, I had the honour of meeting him one evening in Birmingham. He delivered a talk ‘Preserving Faith in Times of Tribulation’ (link below), then sat down to give time to students and scholars.
