Brother 'AbdalQadir is right on this. Brother, you didn't answer the question in the thread 'rant on nuh', but you answered it here. Do you know faraz rabbani directly, that is personally? i have known faraz rabbani for 11 years, as he lives in my neighbourhood, and his institute is 10 mins away from my house
Shaykh Abu Adam has delivered a solid blow to this jahil mutlaq: here - http://sunnianswers.wordpress.com/2...d-and-2-calling-to-other-than-allah-is-shirk/ and here - http://sunnianswers.wordpress.com/2008/05/01/responding-to-sheikh-yasir/ i know yasir qadhi, tawfique chowdhury and faraz rabbani either directly or through a maximum of 2 degrees of separation, and they're nothing but opportunistic college boys (a little older and more established now but not any wiser) who eventually made a career out of lying and cheating people in the name of Islam!
These guys have graduated one step from asking everyone to pick and choose to allowing a select few to pick and choose, and for the commoners to pick , choose and stick to one of these select few. It will take another 20 years for them to realize that asking people to find a muttaqi and knowledgeable scholar is quite a relative thing and they will end up in spiritual and fiqh doldrums very soon. The information age may help them unify on the fiqh side, but spiritually their teachers are paupers so spiritual poverty is but written for them.
the DIY rhetoric boomeranged badly. so the change of heart. he took his time but better late than never.
