Excellent goods from you, man. I’ve take note your stuff previous to and you’re simply extremely wonderful. I actually like what you have got here, really like what you are saying and the way through which you assert it. You make it entertaining and you continue to care for to keep it sensible. I cant wait to learn far more from you. That is actually a terrific site.

Muslims should not take part in the war against their brothers in Iraq or Afghanistan or other places, they
should speak up on their behalf instead and support them
the best thes can to overcome their enemies, nowadays, it seems to me that a big confusion is taking over this world, the White house that killed more than 1 Million 500000 Iraqis gives an honorary supper on the first day of Ramadan, some GIs have the courage to claim they’re muslems without resigning from the army, Islam is not a life style but submission to God and no muslim should stay silent when his brothers are being killed by oppressers, Nato, USA, other western countries are exterminating muslims, installing puppets such as Hamid Karzai or Nouri etc, american muslims and other muslims in the western world are paying taxes to help with the money to kill, no one can hide this…

JazakAllah Sidi Mohammed – I’ll check out some of the other Sheikhs from your list inshallah.

May Allah guide us all onto the Sirat ul Mustaqeem and may be all have the tawfeeq to recognise his signs and his hikma and his rahma when he sends them down upon us.

Peace and blessings on our leige lord, the shining illuminating lamp, the shadowless noor, greatest of Allah’s creation and mercy to the worlds, our beloved Rasool Allah (SAW). And also to our guiding lights the 4 caliphs (RA), the companions, the 4 great Imams (RA)and all the Sheikhs and Mashaikh gifted to the Ummah by Allah (SWT).

We have been blessed as a ummah with scholars of the highest learning and integrity. All the work has already been done for us by them, all we need to do is follow what they have decided is best for us from their interpretation of the Quran and Sunnah, as they are rightly guided. Not what our nafs interprets.

Sister HeartinLeaves – JazakAllah for your kind comments and may Allah (SWT) may it easy for you to grow in Islam, Iman and Ihsan and reward you abundantly for yours and our never ending battle to annihilate the nafs (i,e, the self, the ego) so we only exist for him and he exists in us.

I appreciate your heartfelt post and may Allah show your husband the path. Please ignore the negative posts re Sheikh Hamza. He is truly a guiding light in the current mire of confusion and search for an identity. Im sure you have read his biography and the amount of knowledge he has gained from some of the most eminent Sheikhs living today.

If I may be bold enough to recommend some other living Sheikhs (on the path of traditional Islam)you may want to listen to :

1 – Sheikh Nuh Ha Mim Keller
2 – Sheikh Mohammed Al Yaqoubi
3 – Imam Zaid Shakir
4 – Sheikh Ninowy

Amongst many others. Due to the explosion of accessible media there are a huge number of “scholars” you need to be wary of, these guys do not believe in the traditional schools of fiqh or aqida and have no idea about the traditional science of spirituality and purification of the heart (Tassawuf). I wont name these guys but you can probably work out who they are as they do not follow any traditional scholars and follow their own nafs or some contemporary scholar who cannot compare 1 iota to Imams like Ghazali, Abu Hanifa, Malik, Shafi’i, Al Haddad etc.

For practical ways of improving your self and keeping the nafs at bay I would recommend reading stuff by Imam Alawi Al Haddad as well as Imam Ghazali’s books as a good starting point. But you do need to attach yourself to a Sheikh. Think of the sheikh as a personal trainer in the gym, he will guide you through the maze of lives and towards Allah (SWT).

May Allah guide you and us, always Ameen
