Some of these ppl in this thread will disregard what YQ has to say and call him a deviant
I know sxb even i don't agree with him when it comes to his politics and how he handles the post modern challenges to diinta. Like everyone else he has strengths and weakness, i find him to be rather well balanced when it comes relating the development of muslim theology, the rise and fall of various groups etc. Very knowledgeable with regards to history as well
It's more about destroying cultural heritage, those thousands of years ruins and statues on Iraq and Syria were destroyed by ISIS even though previous muslims left them alone. When all culture has been destroyed what's going to be left?
What's wrong with taking an 'aql view when it falls within the parameters of the naql? Our tradition is not a black and white one as the salafi's make it out to be. There is rahma in the leeway that Allah (swt) has provided to take ʿUrf (local customs) into account since nowhere in the world a one-fits-all solution exists.
Well hello @Bringer of Wisdom. You've been here for a long time but rarely comments on anything. Well you're right there is leeway in islam and the core concept of yasir wa la tu casir that being said naqal is asal. We use quran and sunnah and if there is no answer we do ijtihad.
By the way i haven't watched the video that you posted yet i'll watch it later and give you my opining. Although i'm i may not consider yasir qadhi as teacher worth learning from i do acknowledge that as a student of islam he must have some well based and supported opinions of matters regarding fiqh.
I'll have a look into what you quoted. Seems pretty interesting. Also, the video I attached goes into common controversies YQ has found himself entangled in. A good watch if you watch it with an unbiased and open heart. Thanks again for the quotes.
How is this a point against Salafis? Unless you’re like Somali parents you shouldn’t be making this point. I think I seen a few apostates and liberals make this point when they’re the ones who practice and promote racial miscegenation and infidelity the most. If Somali Salafi girls marry non Somalis that doesn’t make Salafiyyah bad if you’re a Muslim. That’s a moot point. It’s a moot point to apostates and liberals too. Liberal and apostate Somali women marry out the most though. If you’re against miscegenation then you should be addressing liberalism and apostasy instead. They even commit zina which is worse than marriage than marry an Ajanabi or a miskeen Somali. People are free to marry outside of their culture in my view but if you’re against it then if you’re being honest liberalism and apostasy are your biggest opponents as a Somali against endogamy.
Just look at who disagreed with me. Someone named after the Buddha. If you’re a Muslim then open your eyes. It seems like Somali Muslims here have a bigger issue with Salafiyyah than liberals and murtads. If you consider yourself a traditional Muslim even if you’re a Sufi then you should re-examine where your loyalties lie. A Salafi will call you an innovator never a mushrik unless you deserve it or they’re just ignorant if they do it unjustly that shouldn’t reflect on Salafiyyah because some Sufis takfir Salafis and you don’t see us complaining. If you’re a Muslim and we view you as an innovator then we’re still your brothers in Islam. The ones you’re fighting this fight with insult Allah and his Rasul. They call the Prophet alayhi salam a pedophile. They consider Islam Arab culture. If they like you and your sect then that should be a sign that there’s something wrong with your iman.
I’m sorry but liberals and kaffirs are an anomaly there are more Somali Salafis than there are kaffir Somali, for a Somali Salafiyyah it’s more virtuous for them to marry a nonsomali, they already think their Somali parents are misguided that’s why they are readily to rebel them for an ajnabi
Don’t be dishonest. Go on TikTok or any social media platform and see the type of Somalis who marry out or date out. Liberals and kuffar date out and have illegitimate children and also marry out the most. Address those two issues first and that’s an actual Islamic issue. Salafis marrying out is an emotional issue you need to deal with. but liberalism apostasy and zina are Islamic issues. You should be happy that Salafis marry out which is rare because most Muslim Somalis marry fellow Somalis but you should want them to marry out so they don’t “corrupt” other Somalis.
he won't unite us
It's not him per se but ciisa عليه السلام that will not only unite the muslims but the whole world and everyone at that time would became muslims. Now keep in mind we live in time of fitna and while islam is very clear it's the muslims that are not united. This disunity is a sign of the end times.
