Salam Alaikum
no offense sister but that's kind of rude to insinuate people here are going to post ignorant answers. Also you never seem to have time to write something just to look down at other peoples responses, why then are you a mod if you don't have time??
wa alaykum salam wa rahmatullah
Since this was directed towards me I felt a need to reply to it, though I greatly thank brother Al-Kashmiri for his response, jazakallahu khayrn.
Insha'allah I'll get back to most of this via PM and perhaps if you have any other advise you would like to give me, it can be done in a proper manner there. However, just for clarifications sake, I would like to mention that my intention was not at all to insinuate that any User would post an ignorant answer. My post if you read clearly was not vindictive of anyone, rather a general warning/request. The fact of the matter is ukhti, that there are so many wrong things and opinions out there which do not base themselves on any fact which is in the Qur'aan or Sunnah, we agree on this yes? And that the aim of TTI is that we work together in Correcting misconceptions, but correcting in a manner which is in accordance to what is right and established. Most of us, including myself, may not know much on a matter, and when we dont know much on a matter, it's better to remain silent then to try to go out and answer every single question posed.
This was the method of the people of the past, they would recall their positions and even great scholars, if they were not sure or did not know put no hesitation in saying so. So this warning was not as a degration of any person, rather a precaution. Say if I had a artist and asked them questions pertaining to biological engineering... they would not know and would it not be better for me if they said so rather than haphazard an answer which might misguide me more? ... It was just an example...
Second, this is an old post, and yes it must have been in a hurry as I seem to quite be in these days. That I pose no explaination for, coz that's life
I would LIKE the time to properly reply. There are many messages and such things I would, but I simply can not, I hereby apologize then for that. However, to my knowledge I have never looked down on anyone for any post that they have made, unless it was due to the content. Yet it is in judgemenation of thing and not of the person.
why then are you a mod if you don't have time??
I've asked that myself more times than I could ever count. I know... moderating is not an honor, its a responsibility, one which is perhaps hard to fathom. It's not something where you can just jump in and adapt to, it has a lot of requirements and sometimes I doubt I fulfil even half of them. If i were to go back perhaps I would not take it, as this position is such a trial. We must try to do things in accordance to the right, be fair and biase, be understanding, futhermore make sure what is incorrect does not prevail, being able to counter it appropriately, amongst many other things. Spammers might be the easiest part of the day.
I do not ever want to be accountable for doing injustice, and thus if I have offended any of you, please forgive me as i can testify any such thing would be un-intentional... If you feel me wrong in anything in future, please feel free to PM me, rather than place it on public forum, that way insha'allah i can work towards rectification without it becoming a cooperative affair.
I wanted to get back to you via PM, and the irony is that I cannot again do to lack of time. Sorry.
INsha'allah if i have time later, and we can clear up anything else you wish...
:salam2:
