Shaykh Imran Hosein (HA) & Space/Time Explanation?

[ahmad12]

Then look at this video where he denies a narration of Umar (RA) regarding rajm which is found in Al Bukhari, due to his own inability to grasp the concept of abrogation and hence calls it nonsense and doesn't even discuss the chain of narration as any sincere individual would do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsUq-C7ZV7o

I don't understand how anyone can consider this guy a shaykh but will happily jump on the bandwagon when barelwi's and halwa are mentioned in the same sentence. No one should take knowledge of the religion from him, whether it is fiqh or tasawwuf or interpretations of hadith. And no one should take knowledge of current affairs from him since his idea's on current affairs are based on his incorrect world view (regarding Yajuj Majuj, etc)

My impression is that in case of brother Imran Hosein it is possible to separate the grain from the chaff. The irritation is that the responsibility falls on you. But that is life. And then every inconvenience that you go through fetches you reward in this world and the hereafter.

[zahed73]

I wonder why Muslims believe in the interpretations of this man when such interpretations have never been found in the early books of this Ummah? He also believes the sun has already risen from the West apparently

'But this sign has provoked numerous other non-literal interpretations, all of which agree that it has already occurred. Our view is that the rising of the sun from the West symbolizes an upside– down world in which mankind is led by their noses to a way of life which would be the very opposite of that natural way ordained by Allah. Natural money, for example, so identified in the Qur’an, is derived from precious metals. When such money is in short supply in a market such as Madina’s, then a substitute in the form of commodities such as wheat, barley, dates, salt, etc., can temporarily take its place. Around the world today that natural money with intrinsic value has been displaced by artificial money with no intrinsic value and it is used as an instrument of oppression. That upside-down unnatural way of life has already been accepted by most of mankind. In this sense, therefore, the sun is already rising from the West. And Allah Knows best!'

There are Sahih Hadith which tell us that repentance is not accepted after this sign manifests itself. Maybe he'll interpret that 'metaphorically' too though, depending on whether he likes the idea of no more repentance or not, just as he interprets many hadith metaphorically because they fit into his warped conspiracy fed world view.

This reminded me of something .... following is from wiki answers about Venus .

All planets revolve around the sun in the same direction. This direction is counterclockwise, if viewed from above. However, Venus rotates around its own axis (spins) very slowly in a clockwise direction, which is the opposite direction of the other planets.

The competing theories for the cause of this reverse rotation are 1) tidal effects of the Sun and 2) an impact with a large asteroid in the distant past. While the thick atmosphere of Venus could indeed create tidal effects, these are not seen in the gas giants. A collision in the past, similar to an impact that is thought to have formed Earth's Moon, is the more likely current theory.
In any event, the rotation is so slow that Venus can be said to be barely rotating at all. So, in that respect, Venus is only barely rotating clockwise. It takes 243 days to make one turn, which is longer than its year of about 225 Earth days. (The combination creates an effective solar day of about 117 Earth days in length.)

Well time and again people mention the sun rising from the west and about days like weeks a week like a year and so forth . It reminded me of this fact .

For GogMagog, see this:
http://wlsis.org/index.php?option=co...cles&Itemid=40

So the Vikings are Gog and Magog, thats what the article is asserting, correct? I didn't read the whole article, rather just skimmed through it, but is the author of the article really supporting that view?
The vikings erupted thousands of years ago, if they really were God and Magog, Jesus (pbuh) would have descended already and Yawm-al-Qiyamah would be happening right now !

Juts on a side note: Please do not criticize Shaykh Imran Hosein to the point of backbiting and slander. After all, he's respected among the community, and we dont know his rank with Allah, so watch what you say.

[Ali.Ibrahim]

Imran Hosein is shia, so do you believe everything he says?

[bugmenot]

Imran Hosein is shia, so do you believe everything he says?

Regardless of his opinions, is there a definite proof he's a shi'a ?

[Ali.Ibrahim]

can't you see what his wearing on the top O_o? *sigh*

"RUM" - was the Byzantine church, Eastern Orthodox Church - which split from the Roman Empire Churches. The head of the church is in Moscow and has been for a long time. Its adherents number in the 300 million, which is the second largest church in the world after the Catholic church. It is not confined to Russia, but include Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Georgia, Greece, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Russia, Serbia, and Ukraine. At the time of the prophet, the Roman empire had shifted its focus from Rome, and moved towards a Greek based civilisation, Byzantium, in a similar way that the UK anglo saxon power base, moved to the US. So RUM is not JUST Russia, but all the countries mentioned above, given the alliance is a future event from when related. At the time of the prophet, the Western Roman Empire had virtually all but lost its power, so why would the prophet refer to Rome?

Also its the peoples of RUM, not the governments, as the people will follow the church over the governments.

Why couldnt the boat of Tamim al Dari, have been pushed in a storm for a month and landed on an Island? That Island doesnt have to be Britain, but it makes sense given its historical and present significance, and the appearence of Al Jassasa, and the timeline of the dajjal appearence matching very precisely the rule of Britain over the last milennium.

Why is spacetime such an issue in the Tamim al Dari hadith, or even in the case of Dajjal? Noah (as) was said to have lived for 1000 years and no one mentions space time?

THis is an interesting thread
