*The White Minaret: Destroyed... WHAT NOW???*

[Scimitar]

But to say someone is simply copy-pasting and "so-called students of knowledge with blue titles hardly chime in - they just spam their own threads and leave" is outright offensive and cannot be tolerated here. They have spent far more time and efforts into studying the Deen, and under the guidance of senior scholars. They have studied all aspects of Deen, not just one branch of it, so they deserve far more respect than anyone else here.

But that is EXACTLY what happened, pardon me for telling the truth in a very honest and direct way... I don't beat around bushes, I find the most direct path instead. No likey? Not my problem, it's an issue for your "self".

I had no idea the scholars were above criticsm, sheesh. This is very new to me - is this a new development from the ahlul forum now?

This seems to come under the heading of علم لا ينفع

Sure, we can spend hours discussing and dissecting the signs of the End Of Days however that's not going to help us in the grave, is it? We ought to focus on our Ibaadah, dealings with others, preparing ourselves for the great journey ahead and doing what benefits ourselves and others.

It's evident that most of the Signs of the Hour are now apparent. That should be enough to strike fear into our hearts and cause us to strive harder to please Allah swt. Arguing about these things brings no benefit, neither to the one who asks the questions, nor to the one who responds as we cannot have full knowledge of something that clearly hasn't yet taken place. You could spend a hundred years researching and discussing but you wouldn't be any closer to the Truth unless Allah willed the event to take place.

The Hadith should be enough for all of us. Why is it important to know which minaret? SubhanAllah.

You assume we cannot do both? What kind of world do you live in if you do not seek to understand what is happening in it? This is the problem with Muslims today - too complacent.

I guess I must be kinda strange for willing to actually question that which makes you uncomfortable - I've been living with adrenaline problems for 13 years and being uncomfortable is something I am used to - but I don't give up simply because it's the easier thing to do, NOPE.... I don't get complacent because it's ok in your opinion to be so, no, ok Ahlul Ray???

EDIT: I'm still waiting for answers to my questions on the previous page.

 

[AabiruSabeel]

I'm not knowledgeable in this field so I cannot say anything about it. If you have something valuable to add, you can say so.

We don't say anyone is infallible. You can disagree, and we can also disagree with you, but in a polite and respectful manner.

 

[Scimitar]

Again, this time an answer from someone who has studied the Qur'an in depth as a scholar or student of knowledge would be appreciated -

Why have the Arabs applied Arabic etymology to the words Ya'juj and Ma'juj? Were the people who asked for help to build the barrier, Arabs? Far as I know Dhul Qarnayn travelled to a far off place in the world where he met a people who had a very strange speech who informed Dhul Qarnayn that "ya'juj and Ma'juj..." if they are identifying two groups in their own language - what right do Arabs have to apply Arabic etymology to these words when they are occurrances of "Linguistic borrowing" in the Qur'an...

...oh and for the record, if you are thinking of playing the "the Qur'an is Arabiyyum Mubeen (revealed in a pure and clear arabic)" I will over turn that with scholars who have provided examples of Linguistic Borrowing occurring in the Qur'an... the words ya'juj and Ma'juj are thus, philologically applied and follow a morphology - and not to be applied with etymology.

So please - do have a shot, I'd love to hear a Scholar of Qur'an give me his two dinars worth,

Scimi

EDIT: I may not be a so called scholar nor even a student of knowledge as the term is applied in Islam, but that doesn't mean I cannot think and research for myself.

I don't believe I wrote anything disrespectful - at all... my posts are being deleted and they have content in them - why can't you just edit out the parts which you feel uncomfortable with? Censorship the way you practice is very questionable.

I ask again - are the scholars and students of knowledge beyond criticism???? And if so - please provide the proof. I know you cannot find it - your practice is is noted and questioned and your inability to edit my posts and instead just delete them in this thread shows me a lot.

Allah is witness between you mods/admin and I.

Either rise to the challenge or admit you have nothing to say because you have not studied as much as you think you have, oh admins, mods, scholars and students of knowledge...

[*charisma*]

untamed? character assassination apparently only applies to us "non scholars" on this board lol - hypocrites.

Scimi

Hey..she started it. and I didn't do anything hypocritical, maybe divert that to someone else. No one is slandering, shaming, or disrespecting you. There's no reason to be overly defensive. I don't really get it.

I don't believe i was offensive in the least, and the infraction you served was unjustified in my opinion.... are scholars and students of knowledge beyond criticism?

You're not concise though. You like to think you are, but just like in this thread, it was unclear in the beginning what you wanted the outcome to be. On top of all of that, you have quite a demeanor that you know not everyone can tolerate. Instead of saying what you had said, you know you could have worded it better, and I'm not even talking about being sweet or sugarcoating anything, but rather to clarify what you wanted/reiterate, not to aggressively rebuke what you received since that just keeps it ambiguous and creates a negative atmosphere. It's not so hard to be respectful to others in the process.

 

[Scimitar]

You are self contradictory in this very post - in one breath you want me to be something else and in the other you don't.

You guys have no idea what you are saying and it shows.

I'm blunt, straight forward and to the point - and so was Umar RA, who is highly respected - seems your overly sensitive natures give away the fragility of your egos in lieu of the actual topic at hand.

The fact that you cannot ascertain the contents nor the implications of such questions and their answers also shows,

you can keep attempting to justify your nafs - but please - stay on topic and lets not make this about me - answer my questions instead.

That's all I really want. Not this nafsi nonsense you and the mods/admin entertain here ok? Sheesh.

In hadeeth we are told that Isa Alaihis Salaam will descend on the white minaret of a masjid in As Shaam (Syria) wearing two lightly dyed yellow garments - this masjid was widely believed to be the Umayyad Masjid. Ibn Kathir testified to the hadeeth and the masjid.

...well, now that minaret was destroyed on the 24th April 2013... so what now? Can anyone of knowledge tell me what this means for the return of Isa Alaihis Salaam?

Do any of our Students of Knowledge/Scholars have an answer to this?

Scimi

For me as a beliver of the unseen and as a parson who see a lot of things in my life which proof to me that Islam is the true religion
I belive that if this is the minaret which the prophet speak about .. it will be built regardless of it was existed before or no
I belive that the prophet tell us about a minaret but which one ?? Just Allah know and I belive If I live until that time I will see the promise of the prophet
When we hear a hadith we belive it and when we see a sign it just make us more comfortable and if we see such a thing like this even it wasn't exist when the prophet said this hadith it make us more believe that if this is what he meant it will recreating
thank you for your question
I hope it help
Sorry for my bad English

 

[Scimitar]

No offence I don't really care for your opinion, I'm looking for scholars and students of knowledge to help me come to a better understanding. You post from an emotional bias and follow no method, and so I must just tell you thanks, but no thanks. You are out of your depth.

Oh you're above being respectful? Ok then. Too bad you can only concentrate on one character and unfortunately it is not working in your favor. I'll just leave this little gem here.

I'm blunt, straight forward and to the point - and so was Umar RA, who is highly respected - seems your overly sensitive natures give away the fragility of your egos in lieu of the actual topic at hand.

Sorry, but you're not Umar (ra). You and your friend diverted the topic in the first place. The characteristics you attribute to yourself in this thread are yet to be seen. Blunt, straight forward, and to the point is not how the thread started.

you can keep attempting to justify your nafs - but please - stay on topic and lets not make this about me - answer my questions instead.

Nafsi nonsense? ;D The irony..

 

[Scimitar]

I told you not to make this about me - and you continue to take this thread off topic - it's easy to see what you are doing - character assassinating.

May I remind you this is ramadhan, I'd expect a mod to know how to stay on topic, but you fail.

Now, can you answer the questions with knowledge or will you just seek to character assassinate like a bad Muslim? And that - in Ramadhan,

I'll take your good deeds from you on the day HE accounts all creation. Just letting you know. The irony indeed

ibn-Adam did not delete your latter posts, I did. I also told you why.

It seems your mind is already made up. A genuine seeker wouldn't feel the need to be so defensive.

Nah, you're just my favorite subject at the moment.

Thanks for the reminder?

Oh see now who's being sensitive?? awww.

I'm a bad Muslim now? Oh and a hypocrite, and unenthusiastic, and uptight..anddd a character assassinator...again the irony in your words.

I'll take your good deeds from you on the day HE accounts all creation. Just letting you know.

Indeed Allah is most Just. Thanks again. Appreciate it.

Let us spend time doing actions which will benefit us in the Aakhirah instead of arguing about things we have no knowledge about.
