Gohar. While I appreciate the desire to share other views, my first question is: Is the person trained in hadith, i.e. a muhadith? Has he known to be one? While we are very picky and careful where we get our secular information from, esp. if it affects our health or wealth, we should be even more careful and picky about what affects our spirituality and deen. Qualifications, ijazah, etc. should be the first questions to be asked before accepting anyone's information. I hope you agree with me inshallah. This thread will be closed in light of the new post on Authority of Sunnah QA. Future comments can be posted there. jazakumAllahkhair salam Br. Gohar.

Maybe i will summarise them for this thread when i get some time.

As born-Muslims, it is easy for us not to truly recognize the blessing that we have. The decision to be Muslim was easy for us, we were born thus! But for converts, and this is something that applies to all converts, you took it upon yourself to challenge what you were born with, educate yourself about "foreign" religions, and then take a decision that undoubtedly put great new stresses on your existing interactions (with family, etc.). So, in appreciating that courage, I understand why you should be so picky and careful in what you take and what you don't. The challenge to enter the deen has been met, the challenge to reach the truths WITHIN the deen remains open for many converts, may Allah guide us all to the truth. I look forward to receiving an update from you after you read the two books and hoping that the gaps in our understandings will be narrower inshallah. Feel free to continue sharing your thoughts with us. w/s Charles, I really appreciate your journey to the truth. As born-Muslims, it is easy for us not to truly recognize the blessing that we have.
