:salam:The Strangeness of the Sunnah and its Adherents (http://www.sunnipath.com/resources/Questions/qa00000901.aspx)
this article is about the trangeness of the sunnah, insprired by the hadith that says “Islàm began as something strange and will return to being strange, as it began”
it gives these narations from past Ulema
Al-Hasan Al-Basrï (r) used to say to his companions: “O Ahl-us-Sunnah! Be gentle with one another and may Allàh have mercy on you. For indeed, you are from amongst the fewest of people.” [2]
Yunus Ibn ‘Ubaid (r) said: “There is not a thing more stranger than the Sunnah. And what is more stranger than it, is the one who knows it.”
Sufyàn Ath-Thawrï (r) said: “Treat the Ahl-us-Sunnah kindly, for verily, they are strangers.”[3]
“I swear by Allàh, that if a man were to reach these evils, he would hear someone say: ‘Come over to me!’ and someone else say: ‘Come over to me!’ So he would say: ‘No! I do not want anything but the Sunnah of Muhammad (s)’, seeking after it and asking questions on it. Indeed this one will be given a great reward. So be that way, if Allàh wills!”
so whats the deal, the whole article seems like a salafi article, they are definatly not the majority and they fit the description of the whole article. salafis are seen as strange and they are mocked. and they especially fit the last description (the one in red)
how often do pople who defend taqleed and suffism throw the 'majority' arguement in the air. i don't know what to believe anymore, my whole view on salafis changed when reading this, i used to be confident that they were not right now now, i don't know. ironicly the article is from sunnipath.
who else could this article describe, because people who follow madhabs and obviously not the strangers nor the minority.
