Bismillah
Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu to all my brothers and sisters,
Sorry for the delay in taking action in this thread, i'm sure it was warranted long before, however things get busy, and we're not always going to be here, but I thank everyone for trying to do their best.
I wasnt going to post at all here at first, I was going to delete it and pretend it never happened, but i think it needs responding to. As I've already dealt with this in private, therefore I thought this needed some clarifying.
Brother, I think I've spoken to you before, if my thoughts arent unfounded, but you bear the same writing style as another user. And if that be the case, I hope you read this insha'Allah and for once try to understand. The reason you were banned was because all the time you spent here was making division. You were creating fitnah amongst the Users, pointing fingers, calling names, and you were advised not to do so. This all was even done privately, however now you come and address us openly. Why? As the saying goes somewhat, that if you advise a person in public it is to humilate him, but if you advise him in private it is to truly advise him.
If you ask yourself, see what was truly the purpose of this post? Furthermore, I cannot disregard this, as you have placed blame on my brother which has no clause nor basis. This is not allowed, as I have mentioned before, and here is your proofs:
Abu Dawud in the Book of Adab:
The Prophet
said: "The gravest sin is going to lengths in talking unjustly against a Muslim's honor, and it is a greater sin to abuse twice after abusing once." #4859
The Prophet
said: "When I was taken up to heaven I passed by people who had nails of copper and were scratching their faces and their breasts. I asked: Who are these people, Gabriel? He replied: They are those who were given to backbiting and
who cast aspersions on people's honor." #4860
The Prophet
said: "O community of people who believed by their tongue, while belief has not entered their hearts: Do not backbite Muslims, and
do not search for their faults, for if anyone searches for their faults, Allah will search for his fault, and if Allah searches for the fault of anyonoe, He disgraces him in his house." #4862
The Prophet
said: "If anyone eats once at the cost of a Muslim's honor, Allah will give him a like amount of Jahannam [the lowest pit of hell] to eat; if anyone clothes himself with a garment at the cost of a Muslim's honor, Allah will clothe him with a like amount of Jahannam; and if anyone puts himself in a position of reputation and show (at the cost of a Muslim's honor), Allah will disgrace him with a place of (ill-)reputation and show on the Day of Resurrection. #4863
The Prophet said: "Everything of a Muslim is sacred to a Muslim: his property, honor, and blood. It is enough evil for a man to despise his brother Muslim." #4864
This goes for all of us, we have no right to look for faults, we have no right to cast blame and judgments, and we have no right at all to even taint our Muslim brothers' or sisters' honor.
Having said that, in response to your post.
Mabsoot has never said he was a shaykh, in fact, his definitions of a shaykh is quite more definite and he knows who it includes. However, I WILL say this on behalf of everyone on the Mod Team; none of us are to that level, however that does not mean we will stand by and let a wrong go without doing our best to fix it. Command the good and forbid the evil consists of more than just pointing out deficiences in people and things, it's doing something about it. And if in that process things and people need to be deleted, then that will have to be done. We do not want this place to be a breeding ground of fitnah and discontentment. We want all of us to gain knowledge, find a source of solace in times of difficulties, and join together as an Ummah upon the truth bi'ithnillah.
Having said that, upon further points. I hope you note, Mabsoot doesnt say "israel" he says Palastine. It's ironic that its referred to as otherwise. Going there and coming back is not a vacation. I assure you, there and back, Mabsoot was not pampered by the zionists, nor were others. It reminds me of the story I was once told as a child. Of a fox who couldnt reach the tops of the grapevines to get the grapes, despite however much he jumped, so in the end he just said "the grapes must be sour anyways" ...
If you cannot go, May Allah help you, but the fact that you cast doubt to his going for such purposes, astagfirullah, akhi that's so wrong. You dont know this person, I dont see why you judge him so.
Brother, I love the Sahabah, radiallahu anhum, but realize, it is not their blood that will change our Ummah. What they sacraficed, if we take it so superficially as to just be blood upon land, which calls to ownership, then we will never advance. Look to why their blood was shed, for what purpose, what kind of people they were. If we cannot even model ourselves to their characters and beliefs, what right have we to their sacrafice?
People can be happy in times of trouble. In fact it's more proper. There is a balance in all things. If we are always sad and beraved and depressed, that will not help our Ummah anymore except to negatively effect all those around us. The Prophet sallahu alayhi wa sallam whom we all look to as our example, he once told the sahabah that if they knew what he knew they would cry much and not laugh often or something of that degree, but we all know that he was known for his smiling countance. That his face, his being was a source of hope for the people.
To be a person who feels for the Ummah, does not discredit happiness.
I feel again that none of us have even the slightest right to be arrogant. Of our lineage of our knowledge of what we've been given and who we are. Because we know, deep in ourselves whether we acknowledge it or not, that we are imperfect, that we get so many things wrong, that the person we are judging maybe better than ourselves though we know it not. And knowing that, we should not even utter one thing publicly to degrade them.
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"O you who believe! Let not a group scoff at another group; it may be that the latter are better than the former. Nor let (some) women scoff at other women; it may be that the latter are better than the former. Nor defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. How bad is it to insult one's brother after having Faith [i.e., to call your Muslim brother (a faithful believer) as: `O sinner', or `O wicked']. And whosoever does not repent, then such are indeed Zalimun (wrongdoers).'' (49:11)
This ayah says it all for me. Please refrain from such future posts.
That's all I have to say. May Allah guide and forgive us all for our mistakes.
wasalam
