The Disputations
Part Thirty four
1. The storm has passed...
2. There is a good reason why scholars say to avoid reading modern works
particularly the last two hundred years. As all the big disagreements are in
the last two hundred years with some expections
3. The reason why you are committing sins is because you are allowing
your nafs to lead you and you are not leading it. So instead of being busy by a
good action you allowing time for your nafs to provoke you. Only those who
commit sin and never think about repentance are cursed. Those who commit sin
and repent are beloved to Allah. 'Allah loves the repentant'. Be hopeful.
4. Two emotions makes one blind: love and hate.
5. Sheikh Muhammad al hashimi, May Allah show him mercy, used to
organise the shoes of the murids
6. Are we becoming an ummah obsessed with the outward. Why have we
disgraced the internal sunnahs? Of lying, cheating and stealing and placed
clothing as above these? Many of the companions had very little outwardly but
inwardly were giants
7. Muslims have almost always had bad press - don't worry
8. Why do education reforms result in children who do not learn
anything?
9. Allowing things to grow is about knowing when to let go and when to
speak - very difficult
10. Calling people shaykh who are not qualified lowers the term. You are
not respecting them you are belittling knowledge
11. Feelings are deceptive and people who worship feelings should
beware. As sincere worship is not about feelings it's about obedience to the
Creator not about feelings.
12. Its highly disliked for scholars to argue about Islam nevermind the
average person. Why? Because many people do not know what they are arguing for
or against. Beware!
13. Do not think getting X whatever it is, will solve your problems.
Often every stage of your live and whatever you have causes problems. So be
content with what you have and do not covert what you do not. As he who coverts
is never happy and he who is content is always happy.
14. The Shia used corrupt leaders who happened to be Sunni as a rallying
cry against them because of the harm they gave ahl al bayt. Things haven't
changed much. The opposition against ahl al bayt continues...
15. In the old days Muslims used to benefit from the good they found.
Now unless it fits into a particular jigsaw then we do not like it. How many
people commit open sins because of partisanship
16. Failure is a success waiting to happen.
17. Fear the evil of those who you do
good
18. Islam is NOT a nationality
19. Don't make yourself a punching bag for people
20. Good actions cause other good actions
21. Satan loves to upset the believer so be happy and really annoy him

Time to leave
Yes it is! It's high time we do something about the lack of English khutba's in our areas. I am tired of waiting for committees to change. Let's face it they won't ever change, they will stay in their stupification until death. Even that won't make them change.
We have long been against breaking off from the masjids and instead have been trying to get them to help us. It's perfectly clear they do no want to help anyone, not even their own souls.
So any scholars who are reading this or influential people start their your own Friday jummah. Hire a hall, an unused office, room or even your living room. Start with a few and do it for the sanity of your own souls. Do something, anything.
The current masjid serve the elders of the indo pak region and they do not serve you. We are not talking about totally breaking off all ties, no that's not good either. Rather do something to help those who cannot understand Urdu, punjabi, Bangladesh or even Arabic.
We live in England and we speak English so it's time to get our own Friday jummah in English and start teaching something useful instead of listening to the bbc repeat lecture that we have heard a million times before. Break away and you ll see the people that will come.
Get your act together committee members because getting a kafir to build the masjid is not going to help you it's going to harm you especially if you do allow Islam to be taught there.
It's time to leave them to it and start a new.
Our current state needs to be changed and if we do not do it now it will be too late.

The Disputations
Part Thirty three
1. I just
want to thank those who back bite me because of the time they have saved me!
Why? Because I do not have enough time to do a lot of good works and now they
have given me theirs it saves me lots of time!
2. Honesty
has gone because no one is honest
3. Actors
are really liars because they convince you that they feel something they do
not.
4. Hypocrites
are those who actions speak louder than their words.
5. They only
like you if you fit into what they think you should be not what you are
6. Habib Abu
Bakr Ibn salim, May Allah be pleased with him, said, "he who has no wird
is a monkey."
7. We see
graves everywhere yet we do not think our time will come? Clock is ticking
until our new home is six feet down in a box
8. One of
the great tricks of the devil is to convince you that the sin does not count
when nobody is around to see you do it...
9. Putting a
coat on a naked man might keep him warm but he is missing his essential
clothes. Likewise training one to debate has no place until one learns the
basics.
10. Sheikh
Ali ibn Alawi (may Allah be pleased with him) used to hear the response to the
salawat in the prayer from the Prophet (may Allah bestow peace and blessings
upon him) directly.
11. There are
many good people who are friendly to Muslims. It behooves us to return the
kindness they have shown to us. The other day a nice English man opened a door
for a Muslim but the Muslim looked at him through the eyes of suspicion. It
looked really ugly because this man was showing kindness and the least we
should do is return their kindness.
12. There is
a difference between he who learns and understands knowledge and he repeats
what he hears. As no one says that a parrot has knowledge even though it
repeats what it hears!
13. A lot of
people are like iPhones they are sensitive to touch
14. The point
of dua is to attach your heart to Allah and not to get what you asked for.
Attaching your heart to Allah is worship.
15. I'd
rather be hated for who I am than be loved for who I am not...
16. Blessing
for true scholars are continuous. So when you study the same things you get a
different experience because the blessings are different. But the false scholar
has no blessings so he repeats the same things again and again. The experience
with them does not change.
17. Just
because one is a Muslim does not mean everything one does is halal.
18. Sidi Abu
Al-Abbas Al-Mursi (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "People have their
means. Our means is Allah."
19. When
someone finds fault in something where there is no fault - know they are upset
about something else.
20. Sufis
call tribulation ta'arfat literally it means notification coming from a root
meaning to know. So when bad things happen Allah is letting the servant know
who is in charge and you are rudely awakened from being distracted in the
world. This is good because you only do something like this to someone you care
about
21. Fed up of
liars and cheats dressed in clothes of respect
22. The
reason why people leave tariqah because they see the murids opposite to what
the sheikh is.
23. If
Tariqah is an ego trip then its time to get off and repent.
24. Books
cannot be understood without men to teach them
25. Your
desires are endless so why do you bother even trying to fulfil them?!?
26. I do hate
it when the brainwashed speak...
27. Rulings
are based on proof not passion. Rulings based on passion fade into the
distance. Ruling based on proof remain
28. Sheikh
Abu Bakr Ibn Salim (may Allah show him mercy) said, “Someone who looks at
themselves with displeasure; Allah looks at him with pleasure.”
29. Remember
your faults in the faults of other people
