As soon as she answers my questions Ill provide the reference. Like I said, if you give me an Arabic quote out of a book from 1000 years back without naming it, Ill find it for you.

Rabaani's issue with Istighaatha needs a simple Google search for those who do not know it. He has been in deep waters regarding it in the sight of those who abhor the concept.

But what is disturbing is that if someone is unaware of a stance of a person in matters of Aqiidah and Fiqh they are willing to follow him?

As one scholar said, the requirement of seeking knowledge from someone else is to know what their stance in matters of aqidah and fiqh. Sadly, majority don't know that and don't follow that ,which is why we have so many people today following modern celebrity sheikhs and even defend them adamantly while being ignorant of their beliefs. And we see the same thing on this forum as well in regards to sufi scholars and their teachings being spread, corrupting the aqeedah of others.
 
Assalaamu alaikum Zeeshan,


(mildly) What I was trying to say- gently- was that when we start speaking about others behind their backs, we may slide into either backbiting or slander. (gently) I apologize if I was not clear enough, but I did not want to embarrass you.

I am aware that there are people with different positions on many questions. (mildly) I prefer to look first at the character of a person, when thinking about their positions. Then I look at their training. And also their intentions.

I honour Faraz Rabbani, because he has devoted a considerable amount of his (and his family's) time and resources to trying to set up something that we very much need here in Canada- a place to find Islamic knowledge. An online institution, based in Canada. He has travelled overseas gaining knowledge, and he has brought it back here. To help all those who have little or no access to knowledge. To be able to respond to local needs in a culturally appropriate way. (mildly) This is a very worthy thing.

(mildly) You may disagree with his interpretations. And I invite you to offer the interpretations that you agree with. (smile) Perhaps we may all learn something? But we need to always remember that as Muslims we need to be mindful of what we say, and how we say it, when speaking of others...


May God, the Bestower of Peace, Help us to see the good in one another.

Just a reminder. When you warn someone against someone behind their back for deviance it is not considered backbiting. There is a complete list of places and situations where ones actions would not be considered backbiting. Warning against an individual misleading people on a given issue is one of those exceptions.

Rather than I reinvent the wheel you can read about it here with references from the Qur'aan and Sunnah.

And you can read about istighaatha being utterly wrong here.
Asking for madad from anyone other than Allaah, as mentioned in the question, is a kind of calling upon (or making du’aa’ to) someone other than Allaah, hence it is a kind of shirk.
