Orthodox and Traditional Islamic knowledge

 

Imam Ibn Hajr 
bashes the Salafi sect in Aqeedah

Imam Ibn Hajr (ra) calls the aqeedah that is associated to the Salafis of today as the Aqeedah of the Mushabbiha, who were a deviant sect and were refuted and rejected by the scholars of Ahlulsunnah. Today, the Salafi sect is a revival of those same beliefs, as seen in the video presentation here.

Imam Ibn Hajr (ra) says: 
"Far greater is Allah than their opinion."

Orthodox and traditional Islamic knowledge is being lost. 

The Prophet ﷺ said Islam will return to being something strange

We are supposed to follow the Qur’an & Sunnah on the understanding of the Salaf ul-Saalih

As new ideas are introduced and ignorance becomes prevalent, the original and correct understanding of Islam is becoming estranged

Return to the Qur’an & Sunnah as the scholars have understood them.

From following the Quran & Sunnah, to the Salaf, to the history of the Ummah, to who Ash'aris really are, to what the Salafi sect actually believes- this lengthy but detailed video presentation critically details every aspect, and demonstrates why it is incumbent upon every Muslim to follow traditional and authentic sources when seeking knowledge, and to stay away from the Salafi sect when it comes to studying Aqeedah, as this field is the most important aspect of Islam. 

Remember that the Prophet ﷺ said that at the end of times, the people will be misguided by those who have beautiful speech. 
A person speaking well and beautifully, no matter how many Hadith he memorized, does not make him knowledgeable in every field of study in Islam. BE CAREFUL who you take your deen from. READ BIOGRAPHIES of speakers online. DON'T TRUST someone because he says some Arabic words! REMEMBER THAT the deen does not come easy, and true knowledge must be sought out by a person.

In the above video Umar explains the Hadith regarding Allah's 'descent', and why it wasn't to be taken literally according to Ahlulsunnah, what the interpreted understanding is, what the Hanbali and Ash'ari madhab said, and what the Salaf said in regard to leaving it alone without interpretation but while rejecting the literal.

Ustaadh Umar AbdulAziz

Ustaadh Umar began his Islamic studies as a junior in high school, where he enrolled in the traditional Darul Uloom dars-e-nizami Islamic education program. He completed the first year curriculum online with scholars from South Africa and Morocco, marking this as his introduction to the higher Islamic sciences (Sharia). He then transferred and studied in the well-known Darul Uloom Canada where he spent the year in the focus of predominantly the Arabic language with introductions to fiqh, hadith, and other sacred sciences. The following year he moved back to the US where he transferred to the Islamic Institute of Atlanta, GA, where the focus was on the depths of Arabic linguistics and rhetoric, fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) in the Hanafi madhab, comparative fiqh (differences of opinion within jurisprudential issues), hadith studies and memorization, Islamic history, and many other subjects.

In the years 2019 and 2020, Umar completed higher studies in the Tafsir of the first 10 juz of the Holy Qur'an and a beginner text in the Maliki fiqh. In 2021, he moved to Istanbul, Turkey to pursue specialized studies in the Islamic Sciences, completing the first year of the phD program in Sharia, with a specialization in Usool (principles) of Fiqh and Hadith, and Aqeedah (Islamic Philosophy). 

He is currently studying under prominent Syrian Scholars, including Shaykh Mujeer al-Khateeb, Shaykh Khalid Kharsa, Shaykh Nader Abu Umar, Sheikh Ahmad al-Fadil, and many others with a chain of transmission directly through the well known scholar of Syria, Shaykh AbdulRazzaq al-Halabi.

Ustaadh has a deep love for the subject of Aqeedah and has received permission from his teacher to teach this subject. Umar continues as a formal student of knowledge under prominent Syrian scholars in Turkey, as he works toward receiving his phD and ijazah (formal qualification and license) in the Islamic sciences.
