Those in authority are responsible and will be held accountable for the misinformation, confusion, and extremism that has spread from DH’s online hate. Let all who claimed he was studying under Hanafis and under their supervision reconsider their stance. #damagecontrol
It is the sacred duty of the Islamic scholars and those in a position of authority to verify the Islamic credentials, ideology, and piety of every speaker that they give a platform to, no matter how insignificant. “Examine who you take your religion from.”
The spiritual harms of giving a platform to just one deviant, unqualified, ignorant, non-practicing speaker to the Muslim community are absolutely unimaginable if only we knew!!! The trend in North America is to pick speakers based on popularity over real qualifications
DH has listed the radical Salafi, Shaykh Haytham Sayfaddin on his website as a guest contributor. Here is more information about him. abutawheedabbaas.weebly.com/home/daniel-ha…
DH himself is banned from Twitter for his extremist comments
I am extremely concerned that many Islamic Scholars, Darul Ulooms, and institutes in America, South Africa,etc. have given a platform and have publicly endorsed Daniel Haqiqatjou when clearly promotes Salafi Aqeedah and has affiliations with radical Salafis.

An individual who is not a qualified Islamic scholar has made the claim that ‘unlimited kindness to women destroyed every traditional religion and culture…& their next target is Islam!!!!’ What is the proof for this from the authentic Islamic sources? A very dangerous statement
Many extreme Muslim supporters of extreme masculinity borderline misogyny have been making similar statements on limits to kindness and not being a pushover. Some have asked me for clarification on gender roles. We need to go back to the authentic interpretation of the Sunnah
This article is the best that I have seen in discussing the role of a Muslim husband in light of the authentic Sunnah for how to have a happy and blissful eternal marriage.Please read the entire article.
As they say happy wife, happy life!!
During the last few years and especially after Andrew Tate’s conversion,we have seen an increased level of polarization & extremism in gender issues in Islam. One extreme is to subject islam tofeminist ideology, and the other is to push for extreme masculinity bordering misogyny
قال السخاوي ولابي يعلي بسند رجاله ثقات عن وهب ابن منبه قال ان لكل شيء طرفين ووسطا فاذا امسك باحد الطرفين مال الاخر واذا امسك بالوسط اعتدل الطرفان فعليكم بالاوسط من الاشياء
It is best to adopt the middle path in all matters between two extremes, including gender issues in Islam
فإن تنازعتم في شيء فردوه إلى الله والرسول إن كنتم تؤمنون بالله واليوم الآخر
As Muslims and as people who accept the authority of the Quran & Sunnah, we should refer all disputes and issues to the word of Allah and to the established practice of his Messenger صلي الله عليه وسلم
واحذر مخالطة متفقهة الزمان
Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali said, “Keep a safe distance from the pseudo-jurists, from the fake scholar
لا سيما المشتغلين بالخلاف والجدال واحذر منهم
Keep an arm’s length from those who take pride in making their discussion differences of opinion.
فإنهم يتربصون بك- لحسدهم- ريب المنون
They will sit in ambush waiting for destiny to strike you with something unpleasant.
ويقطعون عليك بالظنون
They will pronounce judgements on you because of their negative assumptions…
ويتغامزون وراءك بالعيون
They will wink eyes at you behind your back.
ويحصون عليك عثراتك في عشرتهم
حتى يجابهوك بها في حال غيظهم ومناظرتهم
When you interact with [them],they will microscopically X-Ray you so that in their subsequent debates they know how to drop you in an argument
Some updates regarding the halal situation in Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom has started importing meat from America again and many restaurants are using meat from multiple countries.
1 uses meat from 5 countries; chicken from Malaysia, beef from Australia, Canada, Jordan, and Brazil
Another uses meat from the UAE, Saudi, Australia, Canada, America, and New Zealand. The challenge for the customer concerned about halal is verifying if the meat from multiple countries is reliable. There is also questionable beef from America certified by HTO
There are restaurants that use 100% local meat, but most fast food places are using imported meat and Brazilian imports are still common. I was in Brazil in August &learned first-hand of major concerns in the halal system. There is a lot of work to be done to verify meat in Saudi
What is the connection between Mufti Taqi Usmani, Brazil, Shaikh Abdul Aziz Bin Baz, and me? Allah truly works in mysterious ways and makes everything come full circle in an amazing manner! I will share the answer in the next tweets
Over 40 years ago, Shaikh Bin Baz رحمه الله sent a letter to his special student who had studied under him for four years and was living in Brazil, Shaikh Ahmad Mahayiri, asking him to investigate the halal situation. Shaikh Mahayiri wrote a letter replying back with details
The scholarly body of the Hayat Kibar Ulama of Saudi Arabia led by Shaikh Bin Baz then passed a fatwa on the impermissibility of the meat imported to Saudi Arabia from Brazil based on this letter from Brazil and published it in their fatwa book.
I have greatly benefited from reading the English translation of the biography of Shaikh Mahmud Effendi of Turkey who recently passed away - may Allah have mercy on him- and I highly recommend reading this book to all. I will be sharing a few quotes from this book next
Shaikh Mahmud Effendi was one of the revivalists of Islam in Turkey and single-handed played a major role in keeping Islam and knowledge alive by producing thousands of men and women Islamic scholars despite great persecution and hardship. His story is very inspiring for all
"Can ordinary carpenters and steelworkers build the Bosporus bridge? No! Only great engineers and architects can. Similarly, the construction of this bridge of Deen(Islam) cannot be performed by ordinary Alims. Great Alims are required."~Sh. Mahmood Effendi
