:salam2:
Thank you sister for posting the Biography of Erdogan and for your du'a for him for bringing islam to the turkish society. I have seen nothing going off-the-track here. People start threads like "How old are you", or "Where do you live" or "More sisters than brothers", which have nothing at all to do with Islam or muslims. We never object on those threads. Here, a sister has posted a biography of a man, who by the will of 75 Million muslims have been assigned the task to lead a muslim land, and we think we are going off-the-track? We don't want to know about the man, who is politically leading 75 Million muslims but we are interested to know, whether there are more women coming to this site or men.
Maybe some poeple just misunderstood, that you were introducing him as a scholar of Islam. I didn't see that happening. Scholars are scholars and they have their place and political leaders are political leaders and they have also their place and they are not any less important than the scholars.
Brother path_of_salaf, brother Mr.Muslim was actually calling you to the real path of salaf regarding the rulers. Google "Manhaj of correcting the rulers" and you will know, what the path of salaf in this regard is. Although, I have some differences on that manjah, so I always call it path of salafis. But at least, you being a salafi should remain true to that manhaj and shouldn't be disrespectful to your ruler in public.
Regarding the hadith, "A'maalukum 'Ummalukum", I hold the opinion, that it applies hundred percent, where will of the society is decisive about the rulers. So he can just be as good as the turkish society. And mashaAllah, I have good hopes about the turkish society. To be honest, I have more hopes from the turks than many other muslim nations.
Regarding your complain about too less Salafis and about the land being full of whatever, I would recommend to read the following quote by Sheikh ibn Uthaymeen:
"Salafiyyah in the sense of being a particular party with its distinguishing characteristics and in which the members regard everyone else as misguided, these people have nothing to do with Salafiyyah at all. As for the Salafiyyah which means following the path of the Salaf in belief, word and deed, in calling for unity and harmony and mutual compassion and love, as the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The likeness of the believers in their mutual love, mercy and compassion is that of a single body; when one part of it is suffering the rest of the body joins it in fever and staying awake” -- this is the true Salafiyyah. End quote.
