The Ottoman Ulema 2: The Printing Press, Coffee and Secularisation with Dr Yakoob Ahmed

[@dilut222]

The three episodes with Dr. Yakoob have been inspiring and very thought provoking.

It would be a good thing if these Muslim Ottoman scholars would translate their Turkish works in Arabic.

Masha Allah. Very beneficial and always enjoyable to hear dr yaqoob. Your brother in Islam from srilanka

[@dawudqadri7295]

MashaaAllah, very illuminating discussion. It really opens up topics which are glossed over and misunderstood in histories for the masses.

Fantastic talk, loaded with tons of information. What is the music that you use in the beginning and in the end? It is enchanting.

[@humaparacha0808]

Yes videos would work wonders. Audio is hard to follow. But love your work

Asalam alaikum. Jazakum Allahu khayran. Is there some way to contact Dr Ahmed? There are some issues I have with what he presented. For example, the role of the Sufi orders were dominant, but the Salafi movement, led by Kadizade Mehmed and Vani Mehmed, was a reforming factor long before imam Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab. Also, the prohibition of coffee was related to the use of coffee to draw people to Sufi tekkes of the Bektash and Khalwati turuq who became rich from the revenue while engaging in deviant practices like "Nazar" dervish, sama'. These two turuq were the primary corrupting forces in 17th century Ottoman society. So the prohibition of coffee was based upon the Usul principle: that thst leads to Haram is itself Haram. So if you have a contact with Dr Ahmed

Regardless of the reasons why new products/technology were banned/discouraged by the ulema, when Muslims cite these examples it is demonstrate a simple point; in hindsight we know how absurd it sounds to take a position against coffee and printing press, imagine what else the ulema of today may be wrong about.
