Subhanallah, the amount of nonsense on my timeline re the Hanafi position re the Companion Abu Hurayrah is astounding.

Folks interested on this topic are requested to pick up Bazdawi’s Usul, and poss. Ala’uddin Bukhari’s gloss on it. If you find classical works difficult, refer to Abdul Majid Turkmani’s thesis on Hanafi Usul al-Hadith.

Browsing through transcripts of a number of Friday sermons from Saudi Arabia on #TablighiJamaat and I’m shocked at the factually incorrect claims. I expected better. This isn’t 1920s, there’s no excuse for misinformation. It’d help outsiders know the centre of #TablighiJamaat activities in that region of the Gulf is Qatar… and we all know how neighbouring countries feel about that country. This is what explained to me the charge of synthesis with Brotherhood & it being a “gateway to terrorism”.

This whole Muslim no-go zones narrative needs to stop. Seriously. When was the last time you read about White no-go zones, areas where brown/Muslim people are unwelcome and not sold houses? Clearly something the Daily Fail will not talk about. Brown people are told to integrate, so they try to buy houses in the more affluent areas. They’re either met with resistance, forced to continue to live in ethnic non-white areas or you slowly start to see whites moving out of the area: white flight.

So much for integration.

The fact that you require an App to work out the direction of the Qiblah (and prayer time) speaks volumes of the lack of general Muslim literacy imo, and the crisis of the modern world. God gave us the sky, sun, moon, stars and shade — these are things He swears by in the Quran. Man is illiterate and ignorant. He is no longer fascinated with Nature and God’s creation; his marvel is at the creation of fellow humans like the latest gadgets. He takes Nature for granted and is happy to plunder and destroy her resources to his end.
