Narrated by Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) : The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The most hated person in the sight of Allah is the most quarrelsome person.” (Bukhari)



There’s an amazing Hadith found in Musnad Ahmad, Tabarani, Ibn Majah, Tirmidhi and others… It says, “No people have gone astray after having been upon guidance, except that they were given argumentation.”
ما ضل قوم بعد هدى كانوا عليه إلا أوتوا الجدل
If you’ve been around Muslim life long enough, you can sense when a time-wasting black-hole is developing. It’s very tempting to go in swinging. Most youth do simply out of lack of experience. But for those who’ve been around the block, what is the point of experience, if you simply keep falling for the allure of the black hole.
Whenever an issue comes up, our stance is that we just state the position—insist on it no matter what—and move on. One of the signs of misguided groups is that they’re always arguing. In contrast, the path our Ulama have put us upon — Allah guard them and protect them — is one in which we’re really just too busy for nonsense. We have Quran to review, and still more to memorize. We have to brush up on our Arabic regularly. Fiqh needs to be delved into. Sound Aqidah needs to be taught. Hours of dhikr need to be logged. And on top of that, there is charity to be given, youth-work to be done, Janazahs to attend. Before all of that we have families to take care of. And then suddenly, it’s Ramadhan and all of that goes on hold and we put our souls through the car-wash.
Through Masajid, retreats, trips abroad, etc, life as a Muslim makes you meet so many different types of people, that it broadens your experience and polishes your Akhlaq. People are always changing. One year they’re into something knee deep and another year, they’ve balanced out. One becomes more forgiving, calm and over-looking. With every year that passes, and every drama that comes around, reaches its high point and then and rolls away like a receding wave, you come to realize what really matters in life and in deen. And that causes a person to side-step jidaal, argumentation. State your point—you may have to state it often—then move on and leave off arguing.
Imam Malik (Allah have mercy on him) was approached by a man who asked him for a debate. Malik said, “What happens if I win?” The man said I will follow you. Imam Malik (Allah have mercy on him) said, “And if you win?” The man said, then you follow me. Then Imam Malik (Allah have mercy nn him) said, “What if a third person comes and defeats both of us?” The man said, then we both follow him. Malik concluded: “Constantly changing your beliefs is not a sign of steadfastness. I know what I am upon and I have no doubt. You however, are upon doubt. So leave me alone and go debate someone else filled with doubt.”
(Tartib al-Madarik)
One of his students said, “Shall I not try to argue with them to prove to them the truth?” Imam Malik (Allah have mercy on him) replied, “Just state the position and leave it at that. If he wants to follow it, he will.”
(Tartib al-Madarik)

It was narrated that Hudhaifah (Allah be pleased with him) said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) say:‘Do not acquire knowledge in order to show off before the scholars, or to argue with the foolish, or to attract people’s attention, for whoever does that will be in Hell.'” (Ibn Majah as weak

Haaa!! Na by force..... I refuse to engage in those endless arguments with u. There's ur believe I can't change it obviously, and u can't change mine, so wats d point. If u have never walk down d spiritual path u can never understand. Dats y I only engage those who understand the topic.

Shafiiimran99:
Empiree, suffism is not the spirituality of islam, in fact you can separate spirituality from islam so is itself spirituality. The only and pure spirituality is obedient to Allah and his messenger (peace and blessins of Allah be on him)


@shafiimran ur first point is acontradiction of the second either that or you didn't express itself priperly.....make research and think deeply on what u write before u do as imam Ali rta warned the writers of his era that angels are watching over and recording what they write....u are a nairalander whose opinion like d poets of centuries past can influence people who have no real life malam and take the seen online on this blessed platform ....we need to read deeply and as the rasool said in a hadith "be careful of your actions in its entirety"....a helpless ignorant and confused kid can come online, read ur writing and arguments and be influenced by them for life....thus setting him ... Straight like an arrow shot from a bow ...far down d wrong path and if unlucky straight to hell.. Look at d recent acknowledgment of two izala sheikhs from here in d north on d usage of prayer bead in doing lots of dhikr with it as opposed to d usage if d hand....now not d pro but forba beginner d amount u can do is limited with d hand for mainly two reasons aming ithers :u either loose track of d progress u have made entirely or if u want to do it countless no. Of times u ....after having done a little feel like u have done much.. .days why d difference between d dhikr or should I say rather tasbih to be precise, of a person with 33x 100x 200x 1000x is different from each other...moreover the mere fact of d bead touching ur hand and u seeing it will constantly remind u to do tasbih..yes d prophet did not use beads all his life but he saw some sahabas use it in his glorious masjid and said nothing and as u might already know silence means consent , secondly he has attained such a level dat his heart constantly reminds him of Allah is he never forgets Allah even for a second unlike me(especially)and u today with our mobile phones n tv n whatnot...i from personal experience use beads a lot b4 at first i was criticized ridiculed and hated....i still am.. Even by some of. My own blood for this ..as i strove and strove.. Like a stubborn goat. Some of those same people are beginning to admire me now and commend me.. Nt dat i care oooo....i mean wen u needed d commendation as a boost they were criticising me but these days I don't even count my dhikr anymore as d Hausa's put it:"abin ya bi jini sosai :"(in pidgin D tin done enter my blood wella ) ... also I don't want to keep record of d dhikr and be like aaahhh i have done x millions.... WHO IS BETTER THAN ME IN D sight OF ALLAH...lol
Don't u smell iblees from dis last sentence so. Pls even as u doo lots of good ...keep vigil day and night... of your greatest enemy ......iblees d accursed

But...I am digressing...



mind u this confession if d two sheikhs after they have made it known to d whole world their stance on beads usage..... D leader of kano chapter hisbah and isah ali fantami ie former minister of something as a case in point
.. Fantami said he knows he said it is bidiah in d past but he now realises he is wrong and he wish to be forgiven for his errorr ....can hus dead fans hear dis now!...lots of people due in d north daily alone...think of d millions who have been barred from tasbih and have died before dis brave and sincere confession or of those who might never hear of his recent acknowledgment if a mistake made....what about HISAAB...n right of these innocent ignorant souls he has misled from great good on his head?...d prophet once said to someone who complained to him DAT d laws of Islam were beginning to become too much for him ...he said to nabiyy to please give him one law he can adhere to and receive salvation and rasool saw said "let ur tongue always be wet wit dhikr
... Make no mistake abt d meaning of " ALWAYS......it is not d same as SOME OF D TIME
but it means ALL D TIME 24-7-365!!!
WHILE walking ...in d elevator..while sitting and while waiting to see someone in an office for instance.... D dhikr in d mind is more meritorious than the dhikr done outwards... mansir Kaduna advises every Sufi to go about with two prayer beads ie charbi....one in use at hand and d other smaller spare in d pocket always in case u hurriedly and absent mindedly(as a result of iblees )left home without taking the one which is usually in ur hand also keeping track daily of dhikr helps with spiritual vigilance and noble himma motivation .....u will know if for this week u could only do 12 000 istighfar whereas as at last week u did 20 000....sheikh also said if u don't have any tin good to say to someone eg a companion relative or friend u are sitting with jst keep quiet . learn to enjoy d silence n Do dhikr.. BUT wat does dhikr mean.... it means all acts of remembrance of Allah from reading autobiographies of scholars to listening to dawah on phone... Reading Quran ..giving sadaqa even performing salah is dhikr...and also on d popular misconveived one...DOING TASBIH....which d less privileged in terms of knowledge among d ranks of izala and salaf wrongly claim is zikr and call sufis zakir in a disapproving manner.. But dis title to d enlightened is to b worn as a badge of honor. For zakir means one in constant remembrance ...moving from one ibaadah to another always... Like DAT.. It is said DAT one who has reached d rank of siddique will never waste an hour of his life for passing pleasure eg watching unreligious or unenlightening TV..or football ....
Still on dhikr and silence over idle words imam Muhammad Al baqir...I think......if memory serves me right sed silence is an aid in ur religion against Satan and if u are silent d devil will leave u ...in fact haven't u noticed d relationship between talkative loud people and anger issues and quiet introverts with mild temperament?
Lastly my best guess u are young....even if u aren't ....spread wat I am about to say....from Umar RTA "seek deep knowledge before u become leaders and arrogance prevents u from humbling yourselves and seeking knowledge....I have deep profound respect for d two izala sheikhs fantami and d hizbah guy.. Dey have true faith.. Personally I believe there are still some" there-but-for-the-sake-of-God" misguided people... even among d misguided their major veil from dd righteous path is being satisfied with deir knowledge.... Develop an insatiable life-long greed for knowledge as dis is meritorious greed in sha Allah nt gred for wealth or fame for world purposes... .if I may be so bold as to suggest something... To u...
Read surah fatiha a lot.. And also if it is too hard ...which I don't think it should be for u...or u can add it to dis.. precisely "ihdinas siraatal mustaqeem" or Alkahumma ihdinas siratal mustaqeem... a lot advisably 313ce daily and 5ce after every prayer....as one who does this formula for any verse d angels for DAT verse willbe reciting it for u for some millions till d matter behind d intention is brought to fruitition and completion and success(sic)..dis is from a concerned brother...
A concerned tijniyya Sufi friend who is always praying for u and wants wat is best for u.. May Allah. Forgive any error I might have made but d pure intention remains..

ONLY D MISTAKES HAVE BEEN MINE
