Asslalamu alaikum my brothers and sisters in TTI. Why brother Dawa’s account and post was removed ?
He spoke the truth in most of the subjects and posts .Truth always heart whether we agree with that or not. Sister Appa please doesn’t say “slow down” in your posts. It’s a rude way of saying “shut up”.
Remember Shaitan isn’t our biggest enemy it’s our Nafs. Shaiytan Iblis was leader of the angels but his arrogance made him the “cursed one” for eternal.
In subject of Scholar: Muslims don't worship scholars but we learn from scholars so we can follow the Quran and Ahadith of prophet (saw) correctly and follow the prophet (saw) to reach Allah (Swt).
In the matter of basic 'aqeedah or creed every person must have their own belief or knowledge. Generally, Taqleed isn't allowed there. But, when it comes to extracting legal opinions from the scripture it’s a different kettle of fish. You wouldn't expect a layperson without proper qualification allowed to practice law in any land. Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh) is no different to that. One must be trained and qualified.
Reading the text i.e. the Qur'an or Prophetic traditions (ahadith) is something but having an expert and authoritative understanding of those text is quite something different. For example, one must know which Quranic verse or Hadith is absolute, comprehensive, explicit, general, specific, implicit, restricted, conditional, equivocal and singular in meaning, unequivocal and open to more than one meaning, abrogating and abrogated verses...so on and so forth. I'm sure you will agree this not a child's play and would require thorough training. Also this automatically assumes a mastery of classical Arabic language. Hence, the need for authoritative scholarship and scholars ('Ulama).
Three kinds of people who doesn't follow scholars:
a) qualified absolute scholars (mujtahid mutlaq)
b) sincere but misguided arrogant individuals
c) hypocrites (munafiqun) masquerading as believers to sow the seed of discord from within.
In subject of Arabs: I heard, watched many YouTube videos and read many news articles about many Arabs abusing Muslims workers from South Asian countries. I personally encountered a Syrian who said funny way” They read Quran very well but they don’t understand it. But this doesn't mean all Arabs are bad. Every country has good and bad peoples. We respect and love Arabs because the Prophet (Saw) is one of them.
In subject of living west: Islamophobia and racism towards Muslims in west increasing day by day. I think one of the reasons may be recession. I fear and pray to Allah (swt) it doesn't get bad. Allah knows the best. You can watch this video as evidence.

3. Type Google : State multiculturalism has failed, says David Cameron.
I ask Allah (SWT) to forgive me, if I said anything wrong.
