family relative
s. alaikum dear shaykh hisham. i have an issue. one of the imams close to our city is a big wahabi salafi imam. i heard from reliable people that he said bad things about the the prophet’s s.a.w. parents. he said athaghfirullah, they are going to hell fire. i hate this wahabi imam. he is a devil in my eyes for saying such a thing. he is mal’oon! la’nathallahu ‘alayh! i have a relative that goes to his masjid. he is neither wahabi nor in sufism. if my relative says something smart to me, getting offended about this, then we might get into a fighting argument. what should i do dear shaykh? forgive me for lack of manners. i dont know how to have adab. thank you. salamu alaikum.

And when I remember Him, I am invoking His presence with me…” Continue reading
