twitter has become such a platform in which statements are so casually being made which can lead to one's destruction, especially if it's against senior ulamaa.

it is through them that knowledge has reached us and we should show immense value to them.

in the time of the sahaabah رضى الله عنهم, in the era of the Tabi'ee and our pious predecessors-- each one of them differed in different matters of deen and similarly todays era, as well.

but that does not give us the right to openly disrespect those ulamaa--and call them off bc while you disagree with what they are to say, others may agree and infact you are causing them to lose confidence in the ulamaa they follow, unless it is a clear opposition of the shar'iah

which at most times, this isn't the case on twitter

coming from an Islamic background, there were many differences we encountered and it made a huge difference at home-- in terms of differences regarding fatwa, ilm or tabligh etc and my family might not agree with everything.

but there's never a day in which we were aware of what those differences were despite it playing a huge role at home, we were taught to respect all the ulamaa, and show value to each one of them. unless there was a clear opposition of the Quraan and sunnah.

and despite the differences, we respected all group of ulamaa and we did not differ, and it was not left upon us to differ or we were never given a chance to speak against those ulamaa in which there were differences with. (in terms of my siblings and i)

similarly at the madaaris, to speak out against an aalim has become something they are extremely cautious upon but however in necessity, we are warned on those ulamaa that if we were to follow them, it will be detrimental to our deen.

at a madrassah in which i no longer study at--an ustaadh mentioned to me that i should not read the work of a certain author. and my knowledge was extremely limited at that time, i returned home and narrated it to my father, and he became extremely upset,

and he brought the kitaab to me and he said, "you see his name.." and told me about the author which were all good. even tho we did not necessarily follow up with his kitaabs, we were still never allowed to speak out against an aalim unless, clear opposition of the shar'iah.

so for us to openly call out on the ulamaa, insult them and openly speak against them will be detrimental to our deen-- it's not our place to speak out on it, or rather not even the place to speak out on it. we are not on the level of that aalim to speak out on him.

and we do not know the knowledge and wisdom behind him issuing that fatwa.

so unless it's not a clear opposition of deen, keep silent and respect it-- follow those ulamaa you have trust upon and keep it as that. stay firm upon the truth.

by studying a few years does not mean we can now call out on the ulamaa, they hold experience and wisdom wheras some of us just hold knowledge.

it is natural for us to disagree with something but that shouldn't mean that we can disrespect him, because they are upon the truth.

so how is it that us, on Twitter-- who do not even reach their level can as easily speak out and we can never be compared to them.. who are we? whereas our seniors do not even openly disrespect other ulamaa.

its diff, if these are beneficial discussions, with good intentions--to address doubts, so they speak out on what they doubt

let us not get involved in what does not benefit us, therefore such speech is futile.

a reminder to myself first.
