Wa `alaykum salaam wa rahmatullaah
The only people who differs in opinions are the Muqallids....
I don't know who gave you that definition of a muqallid, but I certainly have not come across it before. So according to this definition of yours, the sahaabah are muqallidoon, the taabi`een are muqallidoon and so and so forth. So, for 1400 years (after the death of the Prophet :saw2
scholars have had differences of opinions and thus for 1400 years all of them have been muqallidoon except for yourself and Aziboy? This is a very strange conclusion brother.
How can u conclude these Narrations by Imam Ahmad (rh) is authentic???
I don't quite get what you mean here...
than how can we believe if all Salafi scholars are of same opinion where to keep hand while praying???
Again, I don't quite get what you mean here as well...
I would appreciate if you can elaborate on what you are trying to convey here.
When you ask a scholar about this he will tell you the chain of narrators and if not than why shall i believe in a Hadith which dosen't have any narrators attached? common sense???
How many scholars actually give the chain of narrators when he is questioned by a layman? I have never come across one...
Even if you have a hadeeth with its chains of narrators, you won't be able to do anything. You cannot even research the authenticity of the hadeeth. Here, let me give you a hadeeth with its chain of narrators- please tell me if it is authentic. Here is the hadeeth:
أخرج ابن خزيمة في صحيحه ( 479 ) ثنا أبو موسى ثنا مؤمل ثنا سفيان عن عاصم بن كليب عن أبيه عن وائل بن حجر قال :صليت مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ووضع يده اليمنى على يده اليسرى على صدره
Please tell me about each narrator and if they are reliable (and who said they are reliable) and if their narrations can be acceptable. Please tell me if this hadeeth meets all the conditions in order to be authentic.
No brother if you are doing taqleed of the shaikh who wrote the book than Hadrat Utham (ra) has also complied the Qur'an and presented it in a form of Book, before it was not... than obviously according to your understanding we are doing taqleed of Utham (ta)...
We are discussing about the understanding of the actual texts (i.e. the Qur'aan and Sunnah). We are not having a discussion about how they were preserved. The Qur'aan is mutawaatir and no one can doubt that these are the words of Allaah.
According to Salafi scholars, This Aya is regarding your worldly matters as well as matters of Hereafter to investigate... so even if a small issue or major one, you need help and help comes from Allah (swt) and none can help except Him
My point was that the ayah says that if any information comes from a 'Faasiq', then one should investigate and verify the information. This has nothing to do with following scholars who are righteous.
I quoted as i found on hanafi fiqh website...
It is irrelevant as to where you found the ayah, the quote is from the Qur'aan and in it Allaah commanded the believers to obey Allaah, His Messenger and the Waliy al-'Amr. If you are using this ayah to say that we cannot do Taqleed, then does that mean we can do taqleed of the Waliy al-'Amr?
by your statements i fear they are challenging Allah (swt) than he cannot guide and all are Blind followers...
You fear that I am challenging Allaah? Brother, take some moment to read this ayah from Soorah al-A`raaf: 33:
Say (O Muhammad SAW): "(But) the things that my Lord has indeed forbidden are Al-Fawahish (great evil sins, every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse, etc.) whether committed openly or secretly, sins (of all kinds), unrighteous oppression, joining partners (in worship) with Allah for which He has given no authority, and saying things about Allah of which you have no knowledge."
If you notice, Allaah mentioned speaking about Allaah without knowledge after Shirk! And I really fear that you are speaking about Allaah and His Sharee`ah without knowledge- especially when you are quoting ayaat out of context and the tafseer of such ayaat are far off from your understanding of these ayaat.
Brother, it is like a layman (like myself) going and taking a medicine book and reading and saying that I am ready to do surgery. Even a foolish man will not come to me for surgery. You are claiming that we as laymen can just open the Qur'aan and Sunnah and start deriving rulings as we wish.
Can I ask you... can anybody take a book on medicine, read it and then start performing heart operations? If you say no, then I say to you that the knowledge of the religion of Allaah is far greater than medicine. This is the knowledge that Allaah sent from above the seven heavens! And yet we are ready to take this knowledge and start giving our own opinions, yet with medicine we will not dare to do so. This is only disrespect to Islaam.
