As Salamu'Alaykum,
The FIKS.og has a class on The Aqeedah of Muhammad ibn ismail ibn ibrahim ibn al-Mughirah ibn Bardizhah al-Bukhari called String of Pearls. And, another course on The Aqeedah of Lil Maliki. I figure if I study them I will have a good skeleton upon which to build the body of my understanding.
This should eliminate much of the frustration that I have been feeling this week over finding that there are wrong paths in Islam as there is in all endeavors. My Mom use to say that there is "a right way", "a wrong way", and "my way" meaning me. This doesn't mean a will be a card carrying member of the "Damnation Club" because I know that pointing a finger points three back at me.
However, it will say concerned Brothers and Sisters here at TTI from having to warn me of individuals who are teaching Bidah and Haraam as Halal. Hopefully, it will provide me with, if not a light, to illuminate my path, a least a rope that is tied to The Prophet (Salla Alayhu 'Alayhi Wa Sallam).
I do appreciate it when each of you let me know that books or sites to which I link are not authentic teachings. I have enough to answer for to Maliki Yawmid Deen on that day without having to explain why I led anyone astray.
This doesn't mean that I will be accepting weak Hadith for anything; however, I don't think I can go wrong "listening" to al-sahih of a man who traveled the Muslim World to learn what over a 1000 men had to say. This is Especially true of a man who recognized that although an individual may have some knowledge that he was not one to be listen to as he would lure a horse into a stable with an empty bucket.
So, Insha Allah, I won't need as much correction on my links in the future.
I appreciate all of you here at TTI. As I have said before, many of you through what you have shown through your posts of your hearts have been used by Allah to lead me to Islam. It is Allah who draws or repels individuals, but I don't think I am speaking out of place, when I say that he uses individuals sometimes to confirm that His Voice in Al Qur'an is true.
Just want to share as I wait for dawn. Our local Islamic Center has a website with the times of prayer and dawn is almost here. As Salamu 'Alakum (If anyone can give me a more appropriate closing, min fud luk/min fud lik/ please do.
