Assalaamu-Alaykum

Well first of all, let me say jazakallah to everyone for taking the time to read this blog and leave their valuable comments. Insha-Allah we will all benefit from this and from any other Deeni activity that we do, so may Allah give us the ability to continue to participate in such activities. Ameen.

Now going back to the recent comments made by my esteemed readers, I have always said that this blog is for everybody, be they Muslim or non-Muslim. Furthermore, whether or not they create the ‘mature and honest debate’ that brother Elyas is talking about, I will, insha-Allah continue this and pray that Allah gives me the strength and Taufiq to do so for the rest of my life.

When we first set up the blog, it was with the intention of first pleasing Allah, and also to be a means of spreading the truth about Islam and of providing an insight into Muslim life in Britain. A scholar once remarked, ’show people the beauty of Islam’ and this is exactly what I and my co-writers try to do in each post that we write – we want to show to people the beauty of this way of life that has attracted us so much and at the same time also use it as a tool for our own, personal advancement in religious knowledge and fervour.

So please, my dear readers, continue with the comments but lets, through our comments as well, show people the beauty of Islam and not get drawn into petty arguments over trifles and instead concentrate on how we can spread the message that our Prophet (PBUH) came with.

Ma’a-salaam

No it has not outlived its usefulness at all. I am not an associate of anyone on this blog but I truly enjoy reading alot of the stuff on here.

JazakAllah brother Elyas for reminding us all of the way in which we should display ourselves and the mannerisms of talking to one another.

This blog truly recharges my Imaan batteries at times.

Salam and duas, I had hoped that my comment would engender mature debate! If you had read my reponse with the care that you claim to have read HAYATUS SAHABAH you will have seen that I expressely stated that it was not a personal criticism of the brother concerned. It is a wider point about how we muslims present ourselves. We have by allah’s grace wonderful muslim names. I know not why we do not choose to use them. To attach labels to those names does little to enhance our profile and does a good deal more to harm the profile of ISLAM and MUSLIMS… yes you are right I have not read the HAYATUS SAHABAH in the way in which you lay claim… If you have then you will know that those whom allah almighty chose and blessed to be in the company of his beloved and final prophet did not care much for wordly titles … they prefered that their profile before allah almighty was enhanced and they were always prepared to debase themselves in front of fellow mortals… I cannot speak for you for but I my entire existence is seeped in sin. I do not need to hide behind some name for allah knows who I am and the sins I perpetrate. The only good thing to come out of this exchange is that you referred to me in a disparaging TONE and called me OI!!! for that I thank you for may be allah in his mercy will add 1 good deed in my account for that… As for you brother and I bear you no ill will at all at least have the courage to say who you are rather than like others before U hiding behind the use of a the very type of name “Akhi ibn Adam” that I was writing about…

Bro Siddique – what is the purpose of this blog of yours – It seems to me it has outlived its usefulness. I believe that many of the contributors are associates of yours. If instead of geunine mature and honest debate on issues that matter it leads correspondents to abuse one another then is it not time to call it day and ALLAH ALMIGHTY KNOWS BEST

IF IN THE COURSE OF THIS OR ANY OTHER POST I HAVE OFFENDED ANYBODY THEN PLEASE FORGIVE ME – ALLAH AS ALWAYS IS MY WITNESS – MY INTENTION WAS NEVER TO CAUSE SUCH HURT

Allah hafez ELYAS.

Oi! Leave Abu alone! The fact that he has decided to cover his identity is his decision. This has no bearing on the validity of the comments he has made. Even the sahabah in different situations covered their identity as well.

Go read Hayatus Sahabah!!

“abu anonymous” – what have we learnt from these discourses when we resort to names as pathetic, pretencious and meaningless as this! how many sahabah called themselves “abu anoymous” NONE! Is your child anonymous to you?? May allah forgive us all for what we have become ameen!!!!!!!!!!!! PS dont take it personally I know whoever you may be for you chose to hide behind anonymity you meant nothing improper by it – we sadly live in an age when every muslim scholar is a SHEIKH AND every muslim father a “ABU” – Alas my complaint is only to Allah almighty for the evil of my own sins which wreaks havoc in the conduct of others!!!!!!

Probably some of the best discourses on Hayatus Sahabah I have ever heard. The level of commentary that Maulana has been giving is unbeliveable. The lessons that Maulana derives from the narrations, i dont think 99% of us would ever think of.

Only when the Maulana is no more will we realise what a great treasure we have lost.

May Allah give us the taufeek to take benefit from these discourses before it is too late.
