What are you talking about Maiwand ? And LOL at the clips of The Last Airbender movie in that video. What the heck does that movie have to do with Sufism?

[Catya Sher]

I was about to ask the same.

Is it obliquely about one of the posters here? Or a genre?

A couple clips down there is a half-minute video about that Adam Gadahn being a CIA agent.

I had just seen another one not quite so pointed, but saying the same basic idea, which is not new anyway.

As an aside, what does Maiwand or anyone else have to say about those types?

I thought he was a fake and a likely Mossad-type plant from the start.

He probably was not trained long enough to really know in-depth about Islam. I bet he doesn't give interviews out of fear of exposing his weak knowledge and perhaps over-hasty training?

This is a sidetrack, but I'm tossing it in because of the two short clips' proximity.

You have clearly not watched the whole clip, nor understood the underlying meaning of it.

The sufis is why you are alive today..keep dreaming zoya! Owned again! Salahuddin was a Sufi of the Ashari creed..

Shaykh `Abdullah Gunayman, a leading Salafi scholar who specializes in creed, admits that Salahuddin al-Ayyubi was Ash`ari and that this is stated by Imam al-Dhahabi in his Siyar. This and many other far more shocking things are mentioned in his fatwa of which the translation can be found in the following link: http://talk.islamicn...ead.php?t=11895 The original version was published on Shaykh Salman al-Awdah's 'Islam Today' website and was followed by a clarification. This fatwa deserves a thread of its own, so Ill leave it at that for now.

I used to have quite some material on the Ash`ari as well as Sufi character of Salahuddin, I would have to locate it and verify but the conclusion as I remember was that he was a stanuch Ash`ari and Sufi. In Egypt, he played an important role in establishing Azhari Ash`arism and brought Sufi khanqas to the land. His grave by the way is in the Ummawi Mosque in Damascus and his son built the citadel in Aleppo. As far as I am aware, the entire Ayyubi dynasty was Ash`ari, Shafi`i and Sufi.

How Ash’arism Spread - al-Maqrizi | saheefah.org

Ibn ^Asakir used to teach al-^Aqidah al-Murshidah in the Salahiyyah School in the city of Jerusalem near al-Aqsa Mosque.

In his book al-Mawa^iz wa-l-I^tibar bi-Dhikri-l-Khutat wa-l-Athar, Shaykh Taqiyyu-d-Din al-Maqriziyy said:

“لما ولي السلطان صلاح الدين يوسف بن أيوب تقدم الأمر إلى المؤذنين أن يعلنوا وقت التسبيح على المآذن بالليل، بذكر العقيدة التي تعرف بالمرشدة، فواظب المؤذنون على ذكرها في كل ليلة بسائر جوامع مصر إلى وقتنا هذا”

This means: “When Sultan Salahu-d-Din Yusuf Ibn Ayyub’s rule began, He ordered the Mu’adhinun to verbally deliver from the minarets the well-known Creed al-^Aqidah al-Murshidah at night prior to Fajr prayer. This practice was carried on by the Mu’adhinun every night in all of Egypt’s mosques until this very day”.

In his book al-Wasa’il ila Ma^rifati-l-Awa’il, al-Hafiz Jalalu-d-Din as-Suyutiyy ash-Shafi^iyy said:

“فلما وُلي السلطان صلاح الدين بن أيوب أمر المؤذنين أن يعلنوا في وقت التسبيح بذكر العقيدة الأشعرية، فواظب المؤذنون على ذكرها كل ليلة إلى وقتنا هذا”

This means: “When Sultan Salahu-d-Din, the son of Ayyub’s rule began, He ordered the Mu’adhinun to verbally deliver the Creed of al-Ash^ariyyah just before Fajr prayer. And so the Mu’adhinun continued with this practice every night until this very day.”

In his book al-Futuhat ar-Rabbaniyyah ^ala-l-Adhkar an-Nawawiyyah, Shaykh Muhammad Ibn ^Allan as-Siddiqiyy ash-Shafi^iyy said:

“لما ولي صلاح الدين بن أيوب وحمل الناس على اعتقاد مذهب الأشعري، أمر المؤذنين أن يعلنوا وقت التسبيح بذكر العقيدة الأشعرية التي تعرف بالمرشدة فواظبوا على ذكرها كل ليلة”

This means: “When Sultan Salahu-d-Din the son of Ayyub’s rule began he got the people to embrace the creed of Imam al-Ash^ariyy and later ordered the Mu’adhinun to verbally deliver the Ash^ariyy creed known as al-^Aqidah al-Murshidah before Fajr prayer, and so the Mu’adhinun sustained this practice every night”.

Taju-d-Din as-Subkiyy relayed in the book Tabaqat ash-Shafi^iyyah al-Kubra that Hafiz Salahu-d-Din al-^Ala’iyy said:

“وهذه العقيدة المرشدة جرى قائلها على المنهاج القويم، والعقد المستقيم وأصاب فيما نزّه به العلي العظيم”

This means: “And the author of this creed, known as al-^Aqidah al-Murshidah, adhered to the straight path and the correct belief, and was absolutely correct in clearing Allah, the Exalted, of that which does not befit Him”.

In his book Mu^idu-n-Ni^am wa Mubidu-n-Niqam, Imam Taju-d-Din as-Subkiyy said:

“عقيدة الأشعري هي ما تضمنته عقيدة أبي جعفر الطحاوي وعقيدة أبي القاسم القشيري والعقيدة المسماة بالمرشدة ، مشتركات في أصول أهل السنة والجماعة”

This means: “The creed of Imam al-Ash^ariyy is what is comprised in the creed of Imam Abu Ja^far at-Tahawiyy, Abu-l-Qasim al-Qushayriyy, and the creed named al-^Aqidah al-Murshidah; they all share the same belief principles of Ahlu-s- wa-l-Jama^ah”.

In his complementary elucidation of al-^Aqidah al-Murshidah titled al-‘Anwar al-Mubinah li-Ma^ani ^Aqdi , Imam Muhammad Ibn Yusuf as-Sanusiyy said:

“اجتمعت الأئمة على صحة هذه العقيدة وأنها مرشدة رشيدة”

This means: “The entire nation has unanimously agreed to the authenticity of this creed, and that it is a guiding and a correct one”.

Most of the mainstream Muslims were/are MAturidi/Asha`ari and are people of tasawwuf. They have kept the Izza of this deen, what happened when you wahabis rose against the ottomans? you sold our riches (oil), and land and invited these kufar...and yet you don't want to read any history to get out of your mental shackles
