The Ash'aris in Relation to the Murji'ah and the Orientalists - Refuting Dr. Safar Al-Ḥawālī: Part 2

Assalaam alaykum,

A new article is now available from www.marifah.net, translated from: ʿAqāʾid Al-Ashāʿira fī Ḥiwār Hadiʾ maʿ Shubhāt Al-Munāwiʾīn (The Beliefs of the Ashʿarīs: In a Calm Dialogue with the Specious Arguments of their Opponents) by Sheikh Ṣalāh Al-Dīn ibn Aḥmad Al-Idlibī, which is a refutation of the book Minhāj Al-Ashāʿira fi Al-ʿAqīda (The Creedal Methodology of the Ashʿarīs) by Dr. Safar Al-Ḥawālī, a leader and teacher of the Salafī cult.

This article only covers the first two chapters. Insha'Allah, an introduction will be published next month and more chapters will follow until the entire book is translated and ready to be printed.

And with Allah alone is every success!

Assalaam alaykum,

Mahdi

Sheikh Wahba Az-Zuhayli on Bid'a

Assalaam alaykum,

A new article is now available on www.marifah.net. The Imam discusses the different kinds of bid'a and explains what rulings they carry. Please have a read.

Assalaam alaykum,

Mahdi

Update: Further to the second footnote in the article, I would like to add that the line كل ضلالة في النار is also not found in hadith #28 of any edition of Al-Arba'een An-Nawawiyyah, with the exception of maybe two. As for the notable translation into English by Sidi Abdassamad Clarke, known as The Complete Forty Hadith and published by Taha, which includes the abovementioned line, I have discussed the matter with my brother Abdassamad and he has stated the following on his blog. Please have a read.

UPDATE (18/03/2017): The marifah.net website is down. The translation is now available here.
