Salaams to All,

I have reached a stage where I beleive I can neither benefit from this forum nor bring benefit to it.

I have never abused or cursed anyone here and have always maintained the dialogue with respect and dignity in the face of degrading labels and remarks which have questioned my beliefs and Imaan.

Very recently my participation in a particular thread has been censored where my posts were deleted even though there was nothing untoward only genuine heartfelt opinions.

So I kindly request the administrator(s) to delete my account and remove any posts that I have made if possible.

The obsession with clarifying others Imaan and aqeedah will lead to a dead end and to the detriment of our community and I pray that members really question their actions.

Jazakallah,

With all due respect you can delete it yourself. There is no pressure on us to participate or remain active and can leave whenever we want.

The obsession with clarifying others Imaan and aqeedah will lead to a dead end and to the detriment of our community and I pray that members really question their actions

You should look at it another way. We are protecting our own faith by highlighting the deviancy of others otherwise you will end up as a deviant. Its what the Deobandis have done to great effect by saying 'there is no difference between us and we only ask you to pray salah with us' and soon the person who goes along becomes one of them and
holds views which are repugnant.

I see more benefit in praticing the religion and implementing the teachings of our noble Prophet Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam. There is so much more to gain by adopting these traits and making non-muslims realise the beauty of our religion.

May Allah and our beloved Rasul Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam guide me towards success. Ameen

PS. Not sure how to delete my account. I bid farewell.

when we defend the honour of the prophet peace be upon him, are we not showing non-muslims our passion and the beauty of Islam?

We are indeed. As a convert I can affirm that the unwavering stance of this Ummah has a profound effect on the hearts of those of us raised in a society where little remains sacred. The careful, devotional words of the awwam attracted me to Islam as much as the eloquence of the ulama. Ours is the last nation that still acknowledges the existence of boundaries of sanctity, boundaries that encircle the sacred sites, the tabarrukat, the printed, written and recited words of the Qur'an, as well as the boundaries that mark the lines between righteousness and negligence, iman and kufr, halal and haram, Rasulallah (salallahu alayhi wa salam) and the rest of creation. It was the common believer's awareness of such boundaries that inspired me to come to Islam and it was Ala Hazrat's call to the defend the line that has kept me on this path.

When we do attempt, in our feeble way, to imitate the lifestyle and manners of Rasulallah, salallahu alayhi wa salam, we also acknowledge the boundary that sets his preferences apart from ours. We do not distinguish between upholding his sanctity and following his sunnah, salallahu alayhi wa salam. They are but two phases of the same program. It is, after all, the sanctity of his person that elevates the Sunnah to a position of sanctity.

Non-Muslims need to be made aware of the boundaries that separate the sacred from the frivolous. The good manners advocated by the Sunnah are undoubtedly a means by which people are guided to Islam, but only because they make clearer the line between what is good and what is foul. The beauty of the prayer is found as much in the wudhu as it is in the melodious recitation of the Qur'an. The ritual of cleansing ones body to prepare for the spiritual states of the prayer is one that has the potential to attract people to Islam simply because it demonstrates in concrete terms that the prayer is entered into, that the body and the heart are together readied for it, that there is a boundary that distinguishes its postures from other more mundane gestures. It is not a mere ritual. It is an act of devotion. Does it not begin with the takbir tahrima, a gesture that renders all frivolous thought and action haram until its completion? Non-Muslims will not be comforted by our good manners alone. They do not need to be entertained by beautiful voices and pleasant performances. The will remain restless internally and hostile externally until their hearts are warmed and softened with the light of Iman. Until they affirm the oneness of Allah, until they recognize the sanctity of Rasulallah, salallahu alayhi wa salam, until they acknowledge his perfection, until they cross over the boundary that marks the limits of his Ummah they will remain unsettled, wandering from tavern to tavern in search of pleasures that will never satisfy. They must learn the difference between iman and kufr. Only then will their thirst be quenched. Only then will they realize how thirsty they have been. If con-men seduce them with sweet, intoxicating drinks, they will only wake up with throbbing heads and swollen tongues, and they will move on to the next charlatan. But, if we serve them the nourishing milk chosen by Rasulallah, salallahu alayhi wa salam, on the night of the Mi'raj, they will have the strength to march with us, inshallah, to join him on Qiyyamat.
