Salam Anyabwile
(Sorry on my previous input I was sleeping and addressed John instead of you - sorry John, peace to you too anyway...)
When I wrote the line you did choose to highlight, I KNEW subhan'Allah you would take it the other way around, since that is your perspective now. It can be taken from different angles. But MY intentions was of course from MY angle, things that do not make sense or things I do not understand I DO NOT shut my ears and eyes before them and then pretend they are not there, on the contrary, it encourages me to find the end of the rope of the issue. I am not satisfied with 'second best' knowledge. I want the knowledge that satifisfies my soul and HEART and a knowledge that also the hearts agrees on. Then I have opened my ears and eyes.
Brother Dan has written some very wise words alhamdulillah. And I fully agree that take 'knowledge' from non Islamic sources, I do not say that you do or have done, I don't know that, but that is NOT the way to knowledge about Islam. Don't forget I have been around these kind of people for about 6 months now, and that is not 'true knowledge in any sense of the words, that is some kind of brainwashing going on. I cannot call it anything else. If one is not awake, it is high time to pour water over the head to wake up!
