He mansaf. :)
First of all, this forum is working hard to promote the idea of following the Qur'an and Sunnah according the way of the companions of the Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him.) Those who follow their way are the successful ones. And anyone who innovates a form of worship without proof from the way of the Messenger is performing an act of bid'ah which is an innovation. Which isn't permitted in islaam.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Every newly invented affair is an innovation. Every innovation is an error and every error is in the fire.” This is an authentic hadîth related by al-Tirmidhî and others.
In regard to sympathizing with sinners - we are all sinners and the best of sinners are those who repent. To help a person repent, you be merciful to them in order that they feel encouraged to repent. If we were to be harsh against them;
And by the Mercy of Allah, you dealt with them gently. And had you been severe and harsh*hearted, they would have broken away from about you; so pass over (their faults), and ask (Allah's) Forgiveness for them; and consult them in the affairs. Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah, certainly, Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him).
[3:159]
We hope that you will follow the way of the Messenger of Allaah and his companions too. :) And thankyou for the positive feedback when you said that this forum has good intentions. May Allaah allow us to have firmly good intentions for His sake. ameen.
Peace.
