Bro. first of all I am feeling very sad for being struck off from the circle of sensibility:). Is there any chance of getting back in?
BTW.. ..Everybody seems to hear the truth of his choice which fits in his/her typical mindset or ideology. Who is Emmad guy? An innocent angel? Or words spoken by him are beyond question? So taking someone's words for granted because they suit mine version of truth seems rather unfair. Had U been a Takfeeri or Khwarji, it would have been expected. But in case of a free lancer or man of opinion like U, it is rather strange if not surprising. However, I respect your opinion, and expect the same in return. I have gone through all his lectures on various topics and have found nothing wrong or objectionable. When the issue of Yousaf Kazab was raised... ....I suddenly got on guards. But after his proclamation and clarification, I got satisfied in the light of Hadees-e-Nabvi pbuh. In my opinion campaign against his is launched by a very select group of a sect on sectarian basis. None of the other schools of thought have any problem with him. While the people like diesel mulla and tahir ashrafi represent that minority group, it really shows their character.
Moreover, sometimes I have requested him (e-mail) to please tone done the emotional style of delivering lecture. Sometimes, I don't agree with his opinion because me to am an independent soul. But almost 95% of time I agree with his opinion.. ..and then there is option "Lakum deen u kum wali ya deen".
I did not mean you are not sensible anymore. But supporting him, just because he says a few choice words to ignite passion in Muslims? Do you see the problem straight away? I asked how does he survive financially, supporting himself and his family and the staff employed by his Brass tack. You didn't answer it. Let's face it, for him to survive without a job and without any visible income, he must be drawing money from somewhere.
A person drawing money from a source is bound by their point of view, their agenda and their plans. Wouldn't you agree?
So, how a person who is bound by some organizations or individuals point of view, their agenda and plans can be an independent thinker and bring about the change?
Secondly, referencing books, which at best are someone's good wishes or imaginations that if this and that could happen, is not a very sound practice either. Referencing unreliable books is even worse.
On the basis of wishful thinking and mostly unreliable books to stir emotions with rhetoric is the way to go?
Thirdly, if a person can once be swayed by a Dajjal like "Yousuf Kazzab" can he be trusted? If someone, who doesn't have the senses to recognize a Kazab, can be trusted, then Allah SWT bless those who are of this opinion.
Whatever I have read and heard in his own voice, Youssuf Kazzab was filth, pure and simple.
It shows that Hamid wasn't either the brightest mind neither a very strong Muslim to be swayed so easily.
This Sufi business has brought the downfall of many. I am afraid, if this was the way to reach Allah SWT, we would have been guided to this path in the Holy Quran. Or in the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad SAW.
When Allah SWT wanted to show His "Tajali" to His beloved SAW, He SWT called him SAW to "Munthaa".
No Sufi business, no doing bidah to supposedly reach Allah SWT. With it starts a never ending chain of filthy claims. If you read history, all the Kazzab started on the same path before claiming unimaginable things.
For example listen carefully to what Youssuf Kazzab said in the video. Could you tell me what he meant by "Al-Quran" bhi majood hain? He didn't meant Al-Quran as the book, for that he used the next sentence "Quran bhi majood hai". So what did he mean by Al-Quran?
For an intelligent person, it didn't end there. Youssuf further said, "App me se kuch Ayat hain, aur kuch mukamal paras". So who could be Al-Quran?
Secondly, when he said in the congregations there are "100 Sahabas". What did he mean, "Sahabas" of whom? Which Prophet was present in the meeting nauzobillah?
How Zaid was a Sahabi? And if he was not , why he didn't denounce Youssuf Kazzab then and there?
If I was him, I would have slapped this Kazzab hard on his face, not fearing for any consequences.
Bro, don't go too far just because of some slogans to raise your emotions, for heaven's sake.
Furthermore, I didn't swayed from the interview of Emmad. I used a cautious word in my last post, read it again.
My conclusions are based on the videos available of Kazzab, plus material produced by Zaid recently. It ties up with what Emmad had disclosed about Zaid's comments on the verse of the Holy Quran. It is in essence same claims made by Youssuf.
It shows conclusively, Zaid is still on the same path, he never changed.
