Preserving the Sunnah: Responding to the Challenges Posed by certain Daees

Описание: How do we protect the sanctity of the Sunnah in an age of academic skepticism? What is the responsibility of a scholar when discussing the foundations of our faith in public forums?

This video offers a detailed and principled response to recent public statements made by Dr. Yasir Qadhi regarding the sciences of ḥadīth (ʿUl
u

m al−Ḥad

th). The discussion addresses a perceived shift in methodology and the potential impact this has on the faith of the Muslim community (Ummah).

In this address, several critical points are explored:

🔹 Adopting vs. Explaining Skepticism: A crucial distinction is made between explaining academic critical methods and publicly adopting their language, which can sow doubt in the hearts of the laity. We discuss the concern raised by statements like teaching from Saḥīḥ al-Bukhārī "because I have to," which implies the tradition cannot withstand external scrutiny.

🔹 The Integrity of Sacred Teaching: Is it sufficient to continue teaching the Sunnah if one simultaneously casts doubt on its foundations? This section addresses why teaching without firm conviction risks becoming performative, rather than a sincere effort to preserve and transmit sacred knowledge.

🔹 A Perceived Shift in Theology: The discussion highlights a concerning theological departure from the established positions of Ahl al-Sunnah, particularly regarding foundational issues like the definition of major shirk. An example discussed is the statement that calling upon the dead is "not shirk in itself," a position contrary to clear Islamic texts.

🔹 A Call for Clarity, Not Conflict: The video clarifies that the call for a public forum or debate is not for personal victory or public refutation, but to provide much-needed clarity for the community. The goal is to defend the robust and sophisticated nature of the ḥadīth sciences and address the confusion caused by a "double language"—traditional in the masjid, and skeptical outside of it.
