Thank you, all, for the constructive discussion. I learn a lot.
 


Asalaam O Alaikum.....


I would like to correct myself regarding the Rajm View of Sheikh Imran Hosein. Brother Mustafa Was right and i was wrong.


He does say about Rajm that it was part of Shariah of Jews and for Muslims is flogging as he does admit that Prophet Muhammad (saw) did enforce this punishment but he says we're not sure whether this punishment of Rajm (stoning) was enforced after the Revelation of Flogging in Surah Nur.

He says since theres no proof for that that Rajm was applied after revelation of Surah Nur therefore we can assume it was applied before Surah Nur.

He also speaks about the Issue of Abrogation of Verses which he uses to explain why Rajm was abrogated.

My humble request to all brothers/sisters is please watch the whole video before we can start discussing about the Sheikh. Its better that whoever wants to disagree with the sheikh may disagree, however make sure that we refrain from dishonoring him or anything like that.


Personally i disagree to what he has said and because of that i have even emailed him and mentioned several points which prove that Rajm was enforced every during the times of Rightly Guided Caliphs. So it was enforced after the revelation of Surah Nur, and thats one proof i have. I have also emailed him several other points. He MashA'Allah does respond to people's email but sometimes it takes him longer if he's busy.

As soon as he InshA'Allah emails me back, then i will post it here and post mine as well.


For right now i recommend every one to watch this video so we can atleast understand where is he coming from, even though we disagree with him on this issue. Because hes not just out rightly denying Rajm, he has an explanation for it. I personally think he is making an error.


Salaam. :)
 
^ JazakAllah brother syed_z

Wa alaikum assalam, no you were not wrong as you did not know what he said on this issue. You are right to point out his reasoning for his conclusions and to express your opinion that it may be an incorrect view according to your understanding. I am very interested in hearing his reply to your email.
 
Me too.

Why he seems to make a mistake on a easy question for scholars but apparently he can explain things more difficult ?

Furthermore he said that he thought Iran is sincerely against Israel (Personally I have serious doubts when I see what is happening in Iraq -especially-, Syria, Dammaj) and there will be a war against Iran in order to establish a Shia government (harder than now) and supports Israel.

What do you think about that ? Thank you.
 
i love reading this kind of philosophy ...its like reading about metaphysics and islam. When i start having these interests...only to those who have the experience will understand. Thank you all for sharing

If Iran was sincerely against Israel then why did Iran help US and NATO in taking out Taliban govt in Afghanistan ? Iran provided intelligence to US against Taliban. Iran was supporting Northern Alliance group which was fighting against Taliban. When Taliban was winning and USA decided to attack Afghanistan then they provided them intelligence to take Taliban out.

If Iran is sincerely against the Western Regime occupations of the Muslim lands then why did Iran support the occupation of Iraq ? Saudi Arab also directly helped USA bomb Iraq by providing air space and theres no doubt about that either.

Iran fully supported the NATO mission in Libya against the regime. Why did they do that ? Lebanon supported France and Britain in occupying Libya and Lebanon majority govt i.e. Hezbollah and its allies, is also backed by Iran because Lebanon did not support Arab league sanctions against Syria. If they did it against Libya then why not Syria ?

Why does Iran support NATO missions indirectly on Muslim soil ?


All of the above shows that Iran, even though it does not want NATO, USA/Israel to rule Middle East, but they do want their Iranian Shia influence to prevail over the Middle East and not other Muslims.


This is what i think, and Allah (swt) knows best.
 
Gotta be careful listening to him. Symbolizes too many hadiths and verses of Qur'an.
 
Shaikh Imran Nazar Hosein...

He's the guy you all love to quote :D and in whatever context your hearts dictate... something to think about right THERE.

As for the Shaikh... I like him. I think he's on the ball - mostly. There are some theories of his which I do not buy into, namely the sun rising from the west being USA and it's wayward lifestyles... but hey, he does ALWAYS mention that this is his view - we do not have to believe him - but rather "questions" what he believes and then "study" the reasons as to why he arrived at his conclusions.

On occasion, he has accepted criticism nad done some u-turns on his opinions - you'll find these "contradictions" in some of his later works, and lectures - where he re-corrects himself after some students presented research that contradicted his previous research.

I find the shaikh to be a reasonable man, with an insight into global matters born from the study of global economics, and couple that with Islamic studies from universities around the globe and what you have is a man who has a very keen mind. As did Prof. Dr. Malik Badri, Dean of the International Institute for Islamic Thought and Civilization in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, wrote the Foreword to that book and this is what he had to say:

Finally, I am amazed by Imran's style of writing. Though Jerusalem in the Qur'an, is a meticulously written thesis combining religious and historical documents with recent political events and penetrating interpretations from the Qur'an and Hadith, it runs like a story. Once you begin reading it, it is hard to stop. This is the general quality of a novel. The person would read it once and throw the book away - but not that of a serious thought-provoking dissertation like the book that Brother Shaikh Imran published. It is a reference that one needs to keep and reread whenever the subject is to be researched. I believe that this eloquence of the Shaikh must be the result of a natural gift that has interacted with his indefatigable work as a preacher and da'iyah and the Divine Blessings for his sincerity." ['Jerusalem in the Qur'an', Masjid Dar al-Qur'an, Long Island, New York. 2002. p. xvi]

Imran Hosein, should be respected as he has earnt that right. He has left his home, and remains a traveller where he lays his masallah in whichever country grants him a stay. He has alienated himself from the nations which he warns against, namely the USA and GB. They won't allow him in, in this a sign for people who think.

He has predicted global economic crisis as well as the movements of war before the media had a chance to forecast such events and he did this because he has learnt to read what events mean in the wider scope of understanding power players at work.

His insight is exemplary, as there is no man today who has been able to accurately predict certain outcomes from understanding what the implications of such actions would mean for certain govt.s in their point n history. He is able to see the double edged sword of history and see where we are in the point of history in relation to end times. He has constantly, time and again proven, beyond doubt, that he was right... not that he would ever boast or claim he knew it all along - no - instead he adopts a modest way about him and attributes his knowledge as being a mercy from Allah.

He is willing to accept his wrongs, when he is wrong - which is rare - but more importantly, doesn't claim that he is unequivocally right, either...

With regards to his understanding of hadeeth, - I'm no hadeeth scholar, so when I hear him cite one, I go and check it. And he's usually right - I found him to be anyway.

With regard to his uncanny understanding of the world and it's elitist power plays - you gotta remember, four years before I was born, 1971 this man was already
29 and leaving the aleemiyah Institute of Islamic Studies as a graduate... and he didn't stop there. His knowledge is not hither tither, it is well researched and he presents hypothesis, in lieu of an awaited outcome - and his purpose is to instil some awareness in his audience at a time when most walk around like blind sheep...

...In that regard, he is a shepherd. May Allah continue to bless him with knowledge which puts the light of knowledge deep within our hearts too, Ameen.

Asslamu Aliakum,

I watched his lectures. In terms of geo-politics...he does not present a lot evidence. It's more like guesswork to me. I mean if you want to understand history and politics, you should read other books as well to get as much information as you can. Then your in a position to compare views and see which one sounds credible. Just saying don't rely on one source.

I don't have anything against the Sheikh or anything. He's a nice practicing Muslim. Very polite.
 
:) personally, I prefer to get my politics from him. He's always been on the ball in that sense... infact, ahead of the media networks' forecasts too.
