"We only believe and worship based on what has thorough and connected chains back to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم." Where's the thorough and connected chains back to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم establishing the Mawlid? I'm actually astounded by some of these people of Kalam. They refuse non-mutawaatir hadith in matters of aqeedah but will establish acts of worship on no evidence at all. Where's the consistency?

Mr shadee where is the eid of the mawlid in the Sunnah? Didn't the mawlid start several hundreds of years after rasoolullah saw? What a contradiction you are

[@iimiboy]

Asharis and maturidi don't believe in most of Allahs names and attributes, pure misguidance

[@Mrcontrolfreak21]

Did someone tell you this or did you read their books

[@GharibBFulan]

@@Mrcontrolfreak21 I've been trying to ascertain what it is exactly Asharis and Maturidis believe from their own sources and to be completely honest with, the more I read and hear from them, the more I dislike them. Initially, I thought they engaged in the ta'weel and tafweedh of most of Allah's attributes because of the verse, ليس كمثله شيء and because of sayings from the salaf like قرآءتها تفسيرها. Turns out that isn't the case. The people of kalaam try to prove Allah's existence utilizing prepositional arguments containing false premises. Armed with these incorrect conclusions, they come to the Quran and pick &choose what they accept. If something disagrees with their world view, they say the apparent meaning is not what was intended. The apparent meaning of الرحمن على العرش استوى is incompatible with their world view, so it must be metaphorical. The apparent meaning of ليس كمثله شيء supports their world view, so it cannot be metaphorical. Its a matter of أصول. As I understand, we go to the Quran and Sunnah and try to understand them the way they were intended. That is completely different from coming to the Quran and Sunnah already knowing what answer you want. Ali ibn Abi Taalib رضي الله عنه said, "If religion was by opinion, then the bottom of the sock would have more right to be wiped than the top of it. However, I saw the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم wipe the top of his socks." Furthermore, it has been said of about Imam Ash-Shafi'i, after he debated Hafs Al-Fard, that he hated Kalam. He used to say, "By Allah, it is better for a scholar to give a fatwa and it is said that the scholar has made a mistake than for him to speak and it is said about him, he is a heretic. And there is nothing more hated to me than Kalam and its people." Note: Imam Ash-Shafi'i is making a clear distinction between mistakes in epistemology and approach and mistakes in non-fundamental issues. His biggest issue with the muttakalimeen is not their conclusions, but their methodology. The Jahmiyyah, Qadariyyah, Mutazillah, Ashaa'irah (especially later Asharis) and Maturidiyyah all have one the same approach (even though the come to different conclusions). They formulate conclusions about Allah utilizing Aristotelian logic, then posit that the apparent meaning of revelation is in conflict with what they claim is reason.

@@GharibBFulan Well, isn't this a rich stew of selective interpretation and context-stripping drivel? Let's sift through it, shall we Your diatribe on Kalaam and rational arguments is a sight to behold. You lambast the Ash'ari and Maturidi schools for using the intellect that Allah endowed us with. How dare they, indeed! But perhaps it's worth dusting off your copy of the Quran and revisiting verses 38:29 and 39:42 which invite us to think, reflect, and ponder. Curiously, you seem to gloss over these verses in your fervor to accuse others of "picking and choosing". And then there's your gripe with Ta'weel and Tafweedh. Your insinuation that the Ash'ari and Maturidi schools are somehow obscuring the "apparent" meanings of Quranic verses is laughably presumptuous. Here's a thought: perhaps they're just trying to keep the balance between anthropomorphizing Allah and negating His attributes, in line with the verse "There is nothing like unto Him" (42:11). But maybe that's too metaphorical for your tastes. As for your understanding of the Quran and Sunnah, it seems to be firmly rooted in a convenient dismissal of ijtihad (independent reasoning). Ash'aris and Maturidis may value the understanding of the companions and early generations, but they also have the audacity to believe that our understanding of Islam can adapt and evolve. Shocking, isn't it? Now, let's get to the pièce de résistance: your cherry-picked quotes from Imam Ash-Shafi'i. You've masterfully stripped his comments on Kalaam of their historical context. Bravo! But perhaps it's worth mentioning that he was critiquing the excessive philosophical speculation of his time, not the use of reason itself. Modern literalists think "kalaam" = "rational thought", when even the father of this modern movement, Ibn Tayymiyyah, engaged in extreme kalam (Fana' al-Nar for example) And then there's your conflated understanding of "muttakalimeen". Conveniently lumping together a range of groups under one banner and attributing all their perceived faults to the Ash'aris and Maturidis is a neat trick. It's also a gross oversimplification and a disservice to the complexity of Islamic intellectual history. As for your claim that these schools use Aristotelian logic to interpret the Quran, maybe consider that they were actually using this approach to counter non-Muslim philosophers and theologians. But then again, that might not fit your narrative of them twisting the meaning of the Quran. Now, while we're on the subject of critique, let's talk about modern Athari/Salafi dogma. This rigid insistence on a literal interpretation of the Quran and Hadith (or rather, specifically, the literal interpretation of the Qur'an according to 3-4 scholars from a single part of the world), this refusal to engage with the complexity and diversity of Islamic thought, and this arrogant dismissal of any interpretation that doesn't fit your narrow worldview is a disservice to the richness of Islamic tradition. It's a simplistic and regressive approach that stunts intellectual growth and reduces Islam to a set of inflexible dogmas. And perhaps the biggest irony here is how much of this dogma is based on Kalam, rather than strict literal commandments drawn from scripture. In conclusion, before you point fingers at others for supposedly twisting the Quran and Sunnah, maybe take a long, hard look at your own interpretative approach. It might not be as flawless as you think.

[@Gog3453]

Because you’re a Wahhabi you will never comprehend the minhaj (Islam Iman and Ihsan) of the Salaf

[@iimiboy]

This guy says do dhikr and salutation on the prophet over Allah? No wonder we are in this condition

[@irfanlokhandwala4823]

None of these people must have fasted on this mawlid day the prophet of Allah fasted in the day he was born these people do the opposite they call eid e milad un nabi so they cannot fast on this day as fasting on eid is haraam Wallahi how people have change the deen of Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ). By adding to the religion by this nnovatiin of celebrating the birth of the prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ). The prophet of Allah said the one who adds and subtracts in this deen is in the fire
