Dr Shadee Elamsry was on point as a host, asking relevant questions and sprinkling his own commentaries in-between. Sheikh Asrar Rashid didn't beat around the bush and addressed topics as they were presented to him; he has that "no nonsense attitude approach." Overall, this is a good episode to build upon.

I am inspired by his commitment to not compromising his beliefs, emphasizing the importance of staying true to our faith (deen) without adjusting it to fit contradictory opinions. His example reminds me of the significance of fearing the hereafter and remaining steadfast in my convictions. I pray that Allah preserves him and grants me the strength to confront any contradictions or challenges that may arise in my faith journey.

First and foremost, Thank you to Dr. Shadee for organising this. It is very critical that these sort of discussion is actually hosted and coordinated by a scholar himself; he did clarify at points some of the deeper matters for us laymen audience. Secondly, both of the respected scholars have good intentions for what they are preaching which can only be heard once the scholars are asked about it. Dr. Yasir's approach is brilliant but it opens doors to many indistinct, vagueness and personal assumptions which students should not be making. A methodological approach like Shaykh Asrar summarised for Aqeedah and Fiqh is for protection of the ummah and creating common ground. I really liked the way this ended inshAllah more of these kind of healthy discussions are needed.

Even Though i’m somehow “Salafi” and my ideas sympathize with sh yasir qadhi, but i really appreciated what sh asrar said, when the coordinator asked a question in which i will paraphrase my own words; “how can we unite the salafis and asharites?” Sh asrar said: “as long as we (asharites) and Salifs agree to what is written in Aqeeda dahawiyyah and 4 madhabis, but when you (salafis) add or remove something from aqeedah dahawiyyah there may be a conflict.” This is a really strong argument in which I will use my later discussions with salafis and asharites. Jazaakallahu Kheyran.

[@darkspark8735]

a small correction brother, sh asrar refers to aqida tahawiyyah not dahawiyyah, composed by Imam Abu Jafar At Tahawi in the third century AH

[@younusadiallo5094]

Not everything that is in aqidah tahawiyah is necessary true because imam Tahawi was a human like all the other imams, so just because he says something, it doesn't mean it's true

[@W67w]

​@@younusadiallo5094I think the point he is making is that all 3 schools of aqida have this book as fundamental source of aqida. But the asharis for example won't teach aqeedah wasitiyah and atharis won't teach sanusi creed

[@younusadiallo5094]

@user-dz4ty5tj7q Yeah, I get that, but as you know, but none of these groups agree with everything that is in aqidah wasithiyah. They do agree with almost everything in there, but definitely not everything.

[@faysalahmed9157]

​​​​@@younusadiallo5094 The Aqeedah Tahawiyyah; has points which can be referenced to Quran and sunnah and it is the most unified text for sunnis. Aqeedah Tahawiyyah has expressions in few creedal points which allows interpretation for different school of thought in sunni Islam. In those few points Salafis would give their own interpretation and Asharis would give their own interpretation, however, these are only few points in the grand scale of majority issues of Aqeedah which they are united upon its interpretation.

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`As: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "Allah does not take away the knowledge, by taking it away from (the hearts of) the people, but takes it away by the death of the religious learned men till when none of the (religious learned men) remains, people will take as their leaders ignorant persons who when consulted will give their verdict without knowledge.

In response to YQ, secularism did not come about because Christianity has no law. Secularism came about from a rejection of ecclesiastical law which also covered secular law. That is why many ecumenical councils determined laws for courts, judges, public behavior and attire, etc.

Masha'Allah, a great debate! Thanks to Sheikh Shadee for bringing these two scholars together. I must say, Dr. Yasir Qadhi's narrative is more contemporary and strikes a chord with the human intellect of the 21st-century mindset, especially for someone living in the West. Sheikh Asrar, on the other hand, regurgitates the textbook content from the scholars of earlier times, which can only be understood by someone who has read their work. His style is very literalist.

Dr Shadee, This is was a very good discussion; however, I’d be interested in a dialogue between an Ash’ari (e.g., Sh.

Sheikh YQ has obviously evolved and is much more amicable to cooperation whereas a Mufti Muneer or a Sheikh Hassan Somali would’ve made conversation more interesting given their opposing positions.

[@muhammadan.inheritors]

I waited to finish the entire interview before writing this comment. This episode wanted to be something that it wasn't sadly, and is a mistake (with all due respect and great love for Sh. Shady). It seems that the intention of the episode is to find middle ground between two prominent Islamic speakers with wildly different views on matters, which is a noble goal in a sense, however this wasn't accomplished at all. On one hand, Sh. Asrar represents the great intellectual tradition of Sunni Islam, expounding answers to the questions with succulent detail, showing no shame or shyness with presenting the traditional books and method... On the other hand, its strange to see that Dr. Yasir had no clear method, showing odd pragmatism, no intellectually satisfying answer to rational questions (examples: reiterating the taymi 'fitra' arguments, no clear definition of sunnism or distinction between groups, no clear answer to muslim epistemology, very vague definitions of sectarianism like throwing shade on madhabs), this probably stems from his academic background in western universities. I was waiting to watch Imams collectively discern differences and calmly represent their beliefs, but it seems to me that Dr. Yasir was trying to forcefully fit and reshape his neo-Ijtihad goals to make it look like they're the same as the traditional Ash'ari beliefs while Sh. Asrar was implicitly correcting him with his answers. I mean, what even was the point of this podcast? Who did it benefit? Looking at the comments it seems like everyone sat down to hear what they already wanted to hear, and the reason might be the fact that the definition of 'middle ground' is definitely not clear or widely different between Sh. Asrar and Dr. Yasir. And what kind of unity are they expecting? Is it a unity where we have to compromise each other's beliefs that stand in the path while doing Da'wah?.... Many unanswered questions. Edit from the future: I hope this comment doesn't discourage anyone from enjoying this episode or the other beautiful episodes on NBF. I really love the work the brothers are doing, and I hope it continues. I just meant to point out a thing I believe would be an improvement.

[@Nihatuddin]

MashaAllah! couldn’t have been said better. I wrote a long comment, but you’ve hit it right on the head.

[@chriscorrales6317]

For me it's not even that intellectual, technical or rational it's about having the conversation that might've in the past ended up horribly and it not. I believe the majority of muslims and those interested in Islam want to see the baraka of brotherhood even in the midst of differences. That differences and even disagreements don't ultimately divide us. In general, whatever happens with the scholars happens to the general people. When the Muslims are united this is a massive win.

[@SafinaSociety]

Dialogue is always good and it may take a dozen conversations before two people reach a conclusion

[@muhammadan.inheritors]

@@SafinaSociety Ofcourse, I still greatly appreciate the dialogue and I would never undermine your efforts. I just feel that certain answers could have been clearer or more decisive, and there should be a better focus on definitions and drawing references from the tradition for the audience to see who has a predecessor for their framework of dealing with things, but the setting for that would be a classroom and not a podcast, which makes me wonder what is the appropriate way to discuss 'middle grounds' or 'unity' infront of everybody, since it needs defining itself, as well as what constitutes sectarianism or zealotry... after that we can think of a practical framework that can be useful for Muslims to work with, scholars and laymen alike. Wallahu A'lam, Baraka Allah Feekum.

[@faysalahmed9157]

@muhammadan inheritors, I agree that they could have spoken about the differences in more depth. But I think the goal of the talk was about promoting the primary aspects of Aqeedah which all adherent of sunnis agree and leave out the secondary aspects for people of knowledge to discuss on academic settings. Both speakers have defined sunnism in their own way. Sh Asrar stated anyone who follows the Aqeedah Tahawiyyah is upon the sunnah and Dr Yasir Qadhi stated if anyone follows the tradition of the prophet (saw), the books of sunnah and respect the companions is from the Alhe sunnah. In my view he was clear in definition.
