Alhamdudillah for the rain.... nice vidoe jazakallah
am missing the live recitation in haram by sheikh sudais
What are you talkin about? The imaams of the Haram'ain have delivered controversial khutbah which got them suspended. They're not fearful of anyone other than Allah. Off the top of my head I know for sure Sheikh Sudais, Sheikh Shuraim, Sheikh Hudhaify, and Sheikh Thubayty have all done so in the last several years. But you can't expect them to be controversial every single week. That's absurd.
What does one or two controversial Khutbah's solve? Okay they got suspendend, big whoop. Where's the courage of Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal, how he struggled hard against the leaders. All the outspoken Imams are either exiled or in prison. The Imam's of the Haram live in Lavish homes, and live perfect lives. The Imams of the past, the Khulafah ur Rashideen lived simple lives. The Imams of the Haram are driven around in Bentleys and Rolls Royces while the historic Khalif's, Umar In particular would carry old men on his back to the Mosque. If the prophet came today, he would be dissapointed in all of them, how can the Imam of the Ummah live in luxurious mansions as people beg in front of the Haram for money?
We speak against the Ulaama while we know not what they know. They are aware of the suffering of Imaam Abu Haneefah, Imaam Ahmad, Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn Qayyim, (Rahimahullah) and the list goes onnn. The Saudi government could've easily imprisoned them, and alhamdulillah they didn't. I am kinda surprised you would actually imply that you want that. If their controversial khutbah did not bring out about any changes according to you, whose fault is that? They still spoke out...and those speeches they gave weren't soft, sweet words. By your logic, Ibn Taymiyyah did not solve anything either by dying in prison, because the leadership's tactics stayed the same. Seriously, come on. :blind:
So what if they live that way? They also do deeds of charity. Sheikh Sudais opened a hospital and library a couple years ago, they feed lotsa people every day, and much more... Their hearts are soft to the Muslims and they do their part. We know so little, and yet we judge so much.
And I was gonna avoid the begging issue, but since you brought it up again... First of all, begging is forbidden in Islam. There are avenues to earn money, so go earn it. And I'm not keen on giving those people money. I had given some money, but I wouldn't knowing what I know now. A sister in Makkah once was tellin us that there are begging organizations... They mutilate these people, even young lil children, and force them to beg. They take 'em in van and drop them of in areas, and whatever money they make through begging, they give 'em a few riyals. If that isn't sick, I don't know what is. Alhamdulillah the Saudis are cracking down on them, and I hope it becomes completely eradicated some day soon!
