I don't know why everybody misunderstood that post. It was absolutely clear. What I said is: "Just like how a person would not want unity with rapists and murderers, why should he want unity with Shi`as?"
Suddenly, everyone took that post to mean that I said all Shi`as are rapists and murderers. It's important to read properly, not just "scan". The post did not mean that Shi`as are rapists and murderers; it was giving an example. Here are some more: "You would not want unity with paedophiles; you would not want unity with cannibals; you would not want unity with psychopaths." Yet, all of them are human beings. So why use the excuse that "Shi`as are human beings" to mean "We must have unity with them"?
You cannot have unity with Shi`as. Why? Because their sect, their cult, their religion, is based on hatred for Sahaabah-e-Kiraam, and on swearing and cursing them. As a result of this, the Anger of Allaah Ta`aalaa is perpetually upon them. If a person associates himself with them, he will be afflicted by it and the `Adhaab that befalls them may befall him as well, because he is with him.
in order to 'follow the Sunnah properly' (by not following gulen movement and their pacifism and alleged deviation) would I have to believe that the gulen movement is a terrorist group? or a group that has committed injustice? what is your personal opinion, brother ibn adam, with regards to allegations of terrorism by Turkish government against gulen movement? should i not follow gulen movement, as you have said in the past, because it is deviant, or because it is an oppressor, or both?
Don't follow any "movements" or "groups". Just stick to the original and pure "Islaam" which Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم brought, and which Sahaabah followed and spread around the world. To follow modern day movements and personalities only brings ruin. Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
"I leave behind me two things which, if you hold onto them firmly, you will never ever go astray after me: The Kitaab of Allaah, and my Sunnah."
In another Hadeeth, Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم says:
"I have left you on the white path (i.e. the path that is bright as day)."
تركتكم على المحجة البيضاء
Free yourself from all movements and from all the various personalities trying to make a name for themselves in the world. The moment a person gets drawn into a movement, or a sect, he abandons the pure Islaam. This is because, all these movements only take a portion of Islaam. You'll find a movement that has only 2% of Islaam, a movement that has maybe 10%, a movement that has 5%, a movement that has only 1%. So when a person joins this movement, then he exits the pure 100% Islaam and replaces it with this 1%. Allaah Ta`aalaa says in the Qur'aan:
أدخلوا في السلم كافة
"Enter into Islaam in entirety."
The word used here is "Kaaffah". Meaning, "completely", "entirely". Become a "complete" Muslim. Not a "Half-Muslim". Half-baked.
These movements pick and choose which elements of Islaam to follow, and they abandon the rest. There is no goodness in any of these movements, there never has been, and there never will be.
Adhere to the Qur'aan and the Sunnah and you will be fine, In Shaa Allaah.
In fact, examine any movement, any movement at all, and then read the Qur'aan, and you will see for yourself: "This movement is Definitely not following this Qur'aan."
There is no need to be a part of any "movements", akhi. Just keep the original Islaam.

Two things:
1) When it comes to learning, it is better to do so from actual Islaamic Kitaabs, rather than from random websites. So a better question would be: "What are some good Kitaabs in English to learn from?" And a very detailed answer can be written to that question, but in short, you can read:
1) Read an English translation of the Qur'aan. Try here:
http://www.noblequran.com/translation/
2) Read "Riyaadh-us-Saaliheen" (The Meadows of the Righteous) in Hadeeth. This is a collection of Ahaadeeth pertaining to Fadhaa'il (virtues), and it is one of the best Kitaabs ever compiled, and the author is Imaam an-Nawawi رحمة الله عليه, who lived many hundreds of years ago (died 762 years ago). You can download an English translation from here:
https://d1.islamhouse.com/data/en/ih...s_Saliheen.pdf
3) Read a Kitaab on the Seerah (biography) of Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم, and the one I suggest - which was originally written in Arabic but later on translated into English - is "ar-Raheeq al-Makhtoom" (The Sealed Nectar), by Safi-ur-Rahmaan Mubaarakpuri, because it is quite comprehensive and the author stuck to only that which is authentic. You can download it from here:
https://islamfuture.files.wordpress....led-nectar.pdf
4) Read a Kitaab on the Shamaa'il (characteristics, ways, habits, mannerisms, personality) of Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم, and the one I suggest is "Shamaa'il at-Tirmidhi", along with the Sharh (commentary) "Khasaa'il-e-Nabawi" by Maulana Zakariyyah Kandhlawi. You can download it from here:
https://islamfuture.files.wordpress....commentary.pdf
5) Read a basic Kitaab on Fiqh, and the one I would suggest for you is "Taleemul Haq" by Maulana Shabeer Ahmed Desai, because it is written in a way that is very simple and very easy to understand. You can download it from here:
https://ia902607.us.archive.org/28/i...aqComplete.pdf
6) Read a Kitaab on basic `Aqaa'id (beliefs), and the one I would suggest is "al-Fiqh al-Akbar" by Imaam Abu Haneefah رحمة الله عليه. Originally written in Arabic, but later on translated into English. You can download the translation from here:
https://archive.org/details/AlFiqhAlAkbar_201606
-------------
With that, the first part of your question has been answered. Read those Kitaabs which I have linked here. It may take you a while, because there are quite a few, and they are relatively long, but all of them are excellent Kitaabs, Alhamdulillaah. That is my advice to you. Learn from classical Islaamic Kitaabs, not from websites. Anyone can write anything on a website, and you would not know if it is authentic or not. A Jew could make an "Islaamic Website" and write false and misleading articles on purpose, just to deviate people, and the readers wouldn't even know, if they don't have proper knowledge.
Coming to the second part of the question: "Who to obtain fatwas from...?"
Well, when you have a question, pose it to different `Ulamaa. Proper, reliable `Ulamaa. There are not many left, though, and that is what makes it so difficult. There is no Fatwaa website on the internet currently that I agree with 100% (again, internet is not an authentic source of Islaamic knowledge), but for the most part, IslamQA of al-Munajjid is good, as well as the Hanafi Fatwaa website, also called IslamQA.

Well, as long as I know I am right, I could care less what others think. They may argue, but personal insults?
They are merely throwing their judgments on their preconcieved notions of what Muslim is, judging us by our appearances.
They may assume me to be a terrorist, they are merely judging by what they think to be right and wrong. That is their "Reality". But that "reality" may just be a mirage formed by their disbelief.
While we Muslims judge by Truth, (we should, not all do), the kuffar Judge by Falsehood (their disbelief, kufr laws etc.)
To them their religion, to me mine. Difference is, they live in delusion, while we muslims, live in Truth. But I am aware that arrogance may "shade" me from that.
But stating truth is not arrogance. If that is, then saying murderers are evil is.
Allahu alam.

I have another Q. Why are we so obssesed with the itiqadii differences? We are in the age of fitna. We must be more concerned in the amalii differences. We are killing our own brethren.
Hi, I’m a non-Muslim. I wanted to ask is it racist that Muslims hate the Bani Israel(i.e the Jews) for the sake of allah? If so, why don’t Muslims say they hate Italians for the sake of allah if most of them are kuffar? Does racism depend on the context? Most Yoruba are Muslims and some of them are followers of the Yoruba religion and the followers are called Yoruba. If a Yoruba Muslim were to say I hate the Yoruba(followers of the Yoruba religion) for the sake of allah, would that be self-hatred because they both belong to the same people, just one is a Muslim and the other doesn’t believe is ethnicity is his religion?
Hating people for their misguided beliefs is not racism. If those Jews converted, the Muslims would accept them, it has nothing to do with race. Muslims just hate the actions of a people, we don't judge a people by the color of their skin or where they were born.
I wasn’t saying it was based on skin color or race. I was saying would it still be racist even if it’s not about race or skin color because you clearly say Jews for example? The reason why I ask is because the West considers it to be so except when talking about ethnic conflicts today and back than and also saying the romans hated the Greeks. I feel these feelings of the west sometimes to believe that because of the west and I’m wanting my views to change a bit and also I can see the west is ever contradictory, I don’t know what to believe. Also for the last sentence I meant to say in the last worlds they believe their ethnicity is their religion when talking about the Yorubas.
You're not making sense. How can it be racist of Muslims to hate Jews for their beliefs? Who cares what Westerners think, we as Muslims should hate anyone who practices evil and we should hate their false beliefs. It doesn't make us racist in any way. If anyone says otherwise, they're just trying to put Muslims down by playing with words.
As for Jews, they like to think they're special because of their race, when in fact, the only thing that is special is how evil they are. The Anti-Semitic card is their go to in order to shut people up why they shed the truth upon their evil actions. Their race is no different to Palestinians, who are mostly descendants of Jews. Do we hate Palestinian Muslims because they come from the same lineage? No.
Again to make it clear- It is not racist to hate people for their evil actions and disbelief in the Creator and their rejection of Islam. Doesn't matter what group of people they are, doesn't matter what they say, there is nothing wrong with it. Anyone who uses the "Racist!" card is just lacks intelligence and has nothing worthwhile to say.
Greetings and peace be with you all,
You will never look into the eyes of anyone who does not matter to God, see the first name of Allah.
1 الرَّحْمَنُ AR-RAHMAAN The Most or Entirely Merciful Allah, Ar-Rahmaan, bestows His Mercy (Rahmah) upon all the creatures in this universe.
In the spirit of praying for justice for all people,
