What a'qida are you?

[Marwan]

I was hoping to get a census on this. No sarcastic remarks, please. This is important, as future articles I post will be based on this poll.

I meant the Qadiyaanis.

The majority view of the community view of Muslims is that Qadiyaanis are not Muslims. I back this majority view. Unless someone can refute the basis. I am not knowledgeable on this from my limited understanding they are a cult from the Indian Subcontinent?

That's what I know of them, as well. They are not Muslims, yet they go around claiming that "Qadiyaani is the true message of Islam."

i dont know what aqeedah I am, do i need to?

[Uthman Ibn Afan]

"Ana Hanbaliyun Mahayiytu fa in amut
Fa wasiyati li al-Nasi an yatahanbalu"

"I am a Hanbali as long as I live, and when I die,
My legacy to the people is to become Hanbalis."
Abu Isma'il al-Harawi

The great scholar Abu Ismail al-Harawi (d.481AH) was a celebrated Hanbali jurist and theologian, known for his awe-inspiring personality, tasawwuf and ardent enmity towards the Ash'arites.

Not really. If you believe in the Kalimah, and believe in Surah al-Ikhlas and have the beliefs common to all Muslims such as beliefs in Angels, Books, Messengers, Judgment, Destiny, Hereafter etc then thats enough. If you've read al-Aqidah at-Tahawiyyah with a Sunni Alim then even better. This will suffice a sound heart.

yeah i studied that with sunnipath, just as you recommended me to, so does my aqidah have a name now?

Who recommended sunnipath for aqeedah to you?

[Medievalist]

go back over your notes. Introduction to the Kitab: Haadha dhikru bayaani aqidatu ahlis sunnati wal jama'ati. Imam Tahawi begins the kitab by mentioning it is an exposition of the Aqidah of the ASWJ, according to the madhab of the Fuqaha of the Nation, Imam Abu Hanifah, Imam Abu Yusuf and Imam Muhammad.

So it's the Aqidah of the ASWJ.

I did.

[naila-k]

yeah i knew that it was the aqeedah of ahl sunnah wa jammat... so that is the name for it? what are those weird things on the poll options?

[Medievalist]

They are more refined classes of Aqidah. I don't want to get into discussing them for a number of reasons:

a) I don't have sufficient knowledge
b) It doesn't concern me and my present state as a matter of urgency
c) It'll start a debate with no-one really benefitting anything at it's conclusion than what they had at the beginning.
