Karbala, u know what? I thought to myself after making the last post, the most important thing is that we both accept Allah as One with no associates or partners, Mohamed is His final Messenger and Prophet, Eassa, Moussa, and Ibrahim were all His Messengers and Prophets. If u have an excessive love to the Messenger's household, we all do, provided this does not overshadow Allah's love, provided this does not cause a minor shirk. If u have a problem with one of the companions, well personally I dont prefer that I dig into their conflicts or what have occured between them. If we are commanded not to pursue my fellow Muslims faults, and cover up for them, rather than exposing them, they are entitled to the same right. I prefer not to search and see who is right and who is wrong, who am I to judge plus what is more important I wasnt there. And who knows if I was there from the beginning of the advent of Islam where would I be standing. Thus, your opinion about the companions should not be taken as a reason of conflict between us. If u interpret 33:33 the way u see it, Quran language is not easy to understand and people spend their lives to try to make the tafseer, well this is how u understand it according to your readings.
The most important point is that we are all Muslims, the only fear I have is that under the current situation, u might be falling into Bidaa just as teh issue of performing Nawafel.
Other than that, not that we wont continue our conversation, I still like to talk and understand further, we must always keep in mind we are muslims and not let our common enemy fuel conflicts.
