It would have been nice that there was an appendix about the topic of imkane nazeer. And particular this question since the history of this debate is rooted in this topic: What do the Ulama of kalaam state about the power of Allah and producing another Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)? Is this mustahil dhaatan for Allah?
the fasid aqidah was not circulated for the ulema but for the awaam, hence the antodote is made available to the awaam as they are responsible for their own aqidah. i cannot say anything about those people, whose primary aqida is that deobandi elders making errors is muhal and everything else, however putrid, that helps in proving this being muhal is mumkin; however i do believe that this work by sidi abu Hasan will allow those with a clear niyyah and those who are non-partisan to see light, inshaAllah. Sheikh Nuh is simply mistaken in his stance and I am sure all sunnis, including me will be very happy if he retracts from his position. I have no precedent that makes me believe that he will not read this or will not react to it. well known and greater scholars in the past of ahlus sunnah have retracted from their opinions, so i do have hope. i am surprised that you included ibn adam,apart from being a deobandi, he is an internet phenomenon, without depth, so I do not think you should care. it is not that he won't reply, he just cannot. and hidayah is from Allah alone.
It's my personal hunch that Nuh Keller or Faraz or ibn Adam will never bother to read this. Even if they are forced to read it, they will not react to it (after all what's there for them to say, but apologise). Unfortunately, the problem with deobandis and their ilks is not their lack of access to very same works that brother abu Hasan has cited, but their twisted belief that their elders cannot err. Can you cure that by forwarding the copies to them? Can you force an obstinate mule to drink water? On the other hand, if aH's article is mass-circulated and read by innocent followers of Keller/Faraz/ibn Adam, they (if they haven't been fully indoctrinated yet) will either forsake these 'scholars' or confront them on this issue. The idea, primarily, is to expose the wretched aqeeda of kaddhabiyya and educate the masses against the dangers of following such idealogies/idealogues.
Mashallah! May Allah reward Abu Hasan and Abu Nibras with the best of rewards. However there is an issue I would like to discuss. Instead of pasting this work all over the internet and having it printed for the 'masses', would it not be better to arrange for copies of this book to be sent to 'individuals' of concern. The likes of Shaykh Nuh Keller or Muhammad ibn Adam of Leicester come to mind. A good place to start in London with the help of senior sunni Ulema and well meaning brothers would be to have a copy sent to this gathering: ULAMA ONLY CLASS : SHARH AL-AQA'ID AL-NASAFIYYA With Shaykh Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Venue: Masjid e Quba, 70-72 Cazenove Rd, N16 6AA Time/Date: Every Wednesday (currently) after Esha This class will consist of a study of Taftazani's commentary on Nasafi's Aqa'id. More than just a reading and explanation of the text, it will include detailed discussions on the related issues of aqida and theology, its history and other relavent ideas. The purpose is to get a better understanding of the ideas and benefit from it in a more practical sense rather than just completing the text. We want this to be more of a collective reading for maximum benefit so all attendees/ulama will be free to ask as many (or as few) questions as they want and to contribute to the discussion. What do you think?
Deenport have again deleted all links to the book today. They are running scared of the truth. Faraz Rabbani is in uk next week i wonder how he will hide from it. Nj Facebook it to him as he seems to spend alot of time on there.
The Image for the Book is at http://www.sunniport.com/images/Truth.jpg Please use it when posting it on your blogs/websites. Also this is not personal vendetta against any shaykh, simply put, it is a showcase of normative sunni aqidah against aberrant positions on the subject. the proper keywords for the book should be : Islam, Aqidah, Kalam, Ilm al-Kalam, Mutakallim, Islamic Theology, Imkan al-Kidhb , Iman Kizb ,Intrinsically Impossible, Contingently Impossible , Possibility of Allah Lying ,Divine Speech, Khulf Wayid, Khulf Waad, Ashari , Maturidi, kalam Nafsi, kalam lafzi.
As-salamu 'alaikum I don't tend to moderate or delete posts and have even posted a link to the book in the relevant thread on the subject: http://www.marifah.net/forums/topic/2931-can-or-did-allah-lie/page__pid__22649__st__165&#entry22649 Perhaps someone has deleted your post to avoid duplication waAllahu 'alam.
i posted this link on marifah, and faqir or his admins have deleted my post, subĥān Allāh this is faqir (if he himself deleted my post) who believes that falsehood is intrinsically impossible, and he supports it by deleting links to such proofs.
uploaded on scribd. http://www.scribd.com/doc/32890129/Truth-About-A-Lie-v-1-0 may Allah reward the author.
First of its kind (and coverage) in English on the issue of falsehood being muhal for Allah (azza wajal). First of its kind (and quality) in English to released free. No royalties demanded, but then aH's been smart enough to have traded that for significantly more baraka in doing so!
http://www.scribd.com/doc/32890129/Truth-About-A-Lie-v-1-0 here is one download linky. may i humbly suggest that the brothers who will upload this book to their blogs, online shared file folders, forums, websites etc. all please use similar phrases for keywords, tags, etc. this will aid in greater search engine and search results efficiency. maybe an IT guy can explain it better.
Please link the book from your blogs and forums and promote this, inshaAllah. The work is a beautiful representation of classical sunni aqidah as presented by the masters of aqidah and kalam, and alHamdulillah it does it in a grand fashion. The Primer on Kalam Terminolgy is a precious aspect of this work, there is no text which exists in English which puts it so succinctly and clearly for all to understand. Forty three statements from the akabir ulema of kalam and aqida, on kadhib being muhal, the mere barakah of reading the names of these righteous ulema makes it worth reading this book. The problematic quotes pasted on forums by folk who confuse in basic terminology, yet have the audacity to make tall and fasid claims, has been dealt with in a comprehensive way, rather ways, all of which refute the false claims triumphantly. alHamdulillah ! may Allah reward the author and his loved ones abundantly. aameen !
hahahaha... they can only delete the links to sunniport just upload it to a bunch of file-sharing sites and they'll simply be lost what all links to ban
Subĥān Allāh, May Allāh Subĥānu wa Táālā reward sidi abū Ĥassan with the company of our beloved Prophet Muĥammed álaihi afDalus şalāt wat-taslīm in Jannah, forgive his parents and teachers and increase their ranks in hereafter. May Allāh Suĥānu wa Táālā also give him courage and time to produce more and enlighten us with true knowledge and beliefs. JazākAllāhi khayr yā sidi.
