Quote:Anyway i think this whole thing is just a difference of opinion, having a difference of opinion with someone doesn't always mean the exchange is a debate. I still think you should strive to learn Arabic instead of just sitting back and saying i'll leave it to Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) There is a Hadith and i think it goes like this, correct me if i am wrong anyone:
I'm not sitting back and saying I'll leave it to Allah, this is where you misunderstand me. What I'm saying is........ if I rush, I'm not getting anywhere. And let me point out that every obligatory prayer I say is in 100% Arabic. It's the compulsary prayers that I do in English, and I do it in English to ASSIST my understanding of the Arabic.
As far as the debate comment, you might want to be careful with that as well, as it was a saying of the prophet(pbuh). (Edit on post.... now that I think about it, it may have been a Sufi but at any rate, it was actually a peace making gesture)
My friend did relay that to me, but he didn't invent the saying. I'm sure I was wrong by not pointing that out initially.
I will do my best to get that hadith to you as soon as possible.
