Yasir Qadhi and Asrar Rashid - Aqida


Shadee Elmasry asks what is on the Aqida Menu in Birmingham and across the pond.

In the next podcast they should get Dr Akram to help Yasir out.

Asrar mentions the advice given to him by Sayyid Abbas at 1.29 which echoes Iqbal's advice which Dr Akram recites at 2 minutes.

Asrar wants to put Fatawa al Haramayn away in the manuscripts archives.

No he doesn't want kids who can't spell c-a-t cat to act all gung ho and discuss shakespeare's sonnets - figuratively speaking!

Any Sunni who can't at least give an executive summary of Fatawa Haramayn (not just say he proved the 4 tawaghit as murtads) should strengthen his understanding of Tahawi and basic fiqh rather than go around trying to collect more signatures for Fatawa Haramayn and make a fool of himself.

If you don't know basic quadratic equations and (a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2, then please do NOT try to teach 3rd degree differential equations to people who know better algebra than you but don't know differential calculus!

Corollary - even if you do know how to solve 3rd degree differential equations, no point trying to teach them to a child who can't add 2+2=4.

Utter nonsense.

Disagree with Sayyid Abbas or Alawi Al-Maliki if you want but to draw a comparison between them (and for that matter even "sir" "allama" iqbal) and this amit shah wannabe akram nadwi is zulm.
 
Shaykh Asrar mustn't sit with wahabis any more. He should restrict himself to Sunnis only. He should avoid sulhs too. Unless one is an out and out Sunni - in this day and age, Barelwis - the shaykh shouldn't share platforms.

Why?

Yes, the exception is when there is no other option such as when Ahl al-Sunnah need to be represented on issues of common concern like LGBT.

Yasir Qadi ain't no Sunni. We should set the goalposts and anyone who wants to come in, he is welcome.

Mawlid is a hallmark of Ahl al-Sunnah. Only non-Sunnis oppose it.

Yasir Qadi: Ahl al-Sunnah means following one of the four schools and Imams Ashari or Maturidi. What you're calling for is sulh kullism and Sunnis shouldn't be duped by your silver tongue. You're very sly and certainly you'll want to use this podcast for leverage that if Shaykh Asrar is ok with me, the rest of you can be too.

Crafty wahabi.


Keep your tana tan sunnism to yourself
 
The ruling of the Quran and hadith is to not associate with deviants. Yasir is a deviant.

When someone like Shaykh Asrar starts to appear on platforms with all and sundry, this blurs the lines between Sunni and non-Sunni.

What is there in that podcast, aqidah wise, that makes it clear to an unknowing Sunni that they shouldn't take from Yasir?

Abstaining from heretics has to start at the top. Even when there was no mass media, our ulama didn't even speak to deviants. If ulama start normalising associating with non-Sunnis, what hope for laity?

Oh, btw, check the title: aqidah. So we now need to learn aqidah from and about the aqidah of Yasir.

Yasir Taymiyyan said we shouldn't refute from the pulpit. That's sulh kullism.

Imam ibn Sirin's anecdote with the heretics is famed: he didn't even want to listen to them read Quran.

If Sunnis are exposed to Yasir - wahabis speak sweet poison - they are shaatir - then they are in danger of being sulhfied or worse.

As for me, even in the recent Gaza genocide, I didn't share things from those of questionable aqidah. I didn't need to.

Yasir is a Taymiyyan. Self professed. And he's against Sayyid Muhammad bin Alawi. He says istighathah is haram and is a stepping stone to shirk.

You’ve lost the plot.

and if someone does not Practice istighatha and considers it Haram owing to sadd al dharai, does it take them out of ahl as sunnah?
 
Alahazrat in Umur e Ishrin.

Asalam Alaikum

are you including true Athari's into the following of the four schools?

Deeming it as shirk vs saying it is haram are different because the perspective changes.

He says it's haram. That which is a stepping stone to shirk.

If brothers can check YouTube for Yasir's stern defence of iT and saying he's his favourite scholar of all.
 
yasir qadhi is a liberal stooge. at some point in the past he was an unabashed wahabi. he slowly migrated to liberalist viewpoints - based on the few clips i have seen of late - and even shamelessly tried to sow doubts about the qur'an. he does not speak about mawlid doesn't mean he deems it permissible. a lot of these talk show hosts do not advertise their personal beliefs for fear of alienating those with opposing views.

Does that make him out of ahl as sunnah?
he was never IN the ahl al-sunnah. he was a vocal wahabi - as he has admitted himself. so if the state has changed, he must come clean about it. he has to say that i reject every wahabi/salafi position in the past and i adhere to the sunni positions of say imam abdul aziz dihlawi, imam ahmad sirhindi and imam abdul haqq dihlawi. if he follows a madh'hab, he must state whether he is a hanafi or shafiyi.

why should *I* compromise on my beliefs on what *I* consider right and the truth just to make someone happy? who cares about yasir qadhi?

if someone asks me whether they should listen to him, i will tell them: NO. he is sweet poison. glib talker but can say anything - he is totally unreliable and we have no proof whatsoever that he renounced his previous beliefs.

when one has an established history of promoting a certain belief system, unless they explicitly disavow that system, you cannot consider them as having abandoned that system merely upon their avoiding discussion of those beliefs.
