I challenge to to prove that I am wrong in the comments that I have made. Singing the praises of some sheikh and screaming bloody-murder that I have insulted him because I dare to speak from my knowledge of what he unequivocally said about stoning/100 lashes and my opinion about one who foretells the future as a soothsayer is a red herring to mislead away from the valid points I have raised.Sheikh Imran Hosein is a Scholar who is doing a great job in WAKING the Muslims up to reality with his insightful lectures yet you insult him by saying he's a soothsayer?
What kind of nonsense is this
What would one be called who made a prediction in 2003 that an Islamic revolution would take place in 2011? What would you call Nostradamus?sister, I have no intention whatsoever to hurt other people's feelings. But if someone try to call him a soothsayer, I won't hold anything back.
lol what??? Just cuz the name sounds fancy "salafiyyah," it does not mean it is the most authentic form of Islam. I personally have found the Salafi cult to be arrogant and narrow-minded. I do not associate with them anymore. I am still in search of the Islamic group that follows Muhammad pbuh in its entirety, have not found one yet. Till then I think I'd stick to Hanbali fiqh.

We must be extra careful when talking about the ulamas. Perhaps the internet is not the right place for discussing this issue, try talking to the people who know really well about the deen such as Islamic teachers..

Sister, he clearly said this in reference to me and me alone. He merely quoted you because you said this disagreement between me and others on this issue is ridiculous.
And what in the world did that have to do with me? Huh? No tell me. Did I call him a soothsayer? Don't direct this comment at me. If you have a problem with my view (seeing as I insulted no one nor was I rude) then I can't help you!

Salahudeen, don't use that kind of comparison. He's talking about the Dajjal, not the weather. I suppose you would be ok if someone said i was gunna become a millionaire in 2011. Don't think so! This is a topic related to Islaam, not the weather!
It seems that you misunderstood why he quoted you. He did not say you called the sheikh a soothsayer as I and I alone was the one he was talking about. He was merely explaining his part in what you called a ridiculous exchange with me.I'm addressing him over his post i just quoted, talking about soothsayer. What did that have to do with my post he quoted? That's what I was asking. Please go back and read it brother...
Why shouldn't I use that comparison :s you said predictions were wrong, I showed you predictions that happen every day in our lifes, so are those predictions wrong? the comparison of the weather was to show that predictions are made in every day life cos you said that you thought predictions were wrong, so just to clarify you believe only predictions related to Islam are wrong? If someone predicts that you're going to become a millionaire in 2011 what is the problem with that as long as they don't claim knowledge of the unseen and say their prediction is a guess based upon your career or what you're studying :hmm:
A prediction is a prediction wether its related to the weather or Islam I don't see the difference, i.e my friend says "I predict day of judgement will occur in my son's lifetime, of course I don't know, only Allah knows but I'm just guessing because of x y z" what is wrong with this? I don't get it.
I predict this guy in my class who is genius and is developing a project that big companies are approaching him over will become millionaire whats wrong with this :s

Weather forecasters base their predictions on present weather conditions and what has followed similar conditions in the past. When there are dark clouds in the sky, it is pretty safe to say, "It will rain within an hour." People predict which team will win based either upon wishful thinking about their favorite team or by an analysis of strengths and weaknesses of the teams with the later most definitely being more accurate. Doctors predict when a cancerous patient will die based on the degree of spread in their body and how long other people lived after reaching that stage. One can analyze the current national deficit and debt load as well as economic trends to predict an imminent collapse or other major change.
Similarly, one can look at the fulfillment of prophecies by Prophet Muhammad (saaws) about signs of the Last Day to know that we are ever marching closer to it, but no one IMHO is able to foretell details about the ghaib unless he has contact with the jinn or unless he has insight into a particular hadith that he can reference. I have no problem with someone pointing to the Burj Khalifa and referencing the Jibrael hadith, "When the shepherds of lambs compete in constructing tall buildings that is one of its signs [and it, the Hour, is] among five [things] which none know but Allah' to show that we are getting closer to the Hour. However, I have a problem with someone pulling predictions about the Unseen out of thin air without referencing a specific hadith and him saying, "It is my opinion that this hadith is pointing to ....".
Those things are TRIVIAL, Allaah and the Prophet don't talk about it. Setting a DATE on something when you have the slightest clue is ok? How can you know at what date something will happen? You don't, you can only guess.
^^ I was obviously unclear, I was referring to the topic at hand >.> it seems I stink at explaining. I'm just gonna drop out of this thread (not cause of you) but cause some people are too air tight.

^^ It doesn't make sense to give a date on something that only Allaah has knowledge of and then say only Allaah knows when Qiyamah will come. You can't have both...by saying "knowledge of the hour is with Allaah alone" and then also say "I think it'll be in 20 years". That's a contradiction. if you know and believe that only Allaah is knower of the Unseen, how can u bother then trying to give a timespan. A lot of the signs took place even by the time of RasulAllaah sallallaahu alayhi wasallam, to them it felt like a lot already occurred but there's a huge gap from that time and now...
