Dr. Timothy Winter: Qasida al-Burda: The Celebrated Poem of the Cloak (Part 2/2)

[bigpurple100]

well done for your good work.

we can all live in together as human beings as long as we dont eat n breath Zionist lies.

[SlowY00]

Not to be disrespectful or anything, but why does Mr.Winter claim that non-muslims(Which includes jews and christians, even atheist!) will be saved and enter paradise? Where does he get his sources from. Again, I am not being disrespectful but I am a little bit sceptical.

@SlowY00 He is just merely stating some scholars opinions.

[ZahiraShah]

@SlowY00 Today Islam is tainted & vilified in the Media. Even we born & raised in Muslim households need to sieve so much garbage to find ourselves. It's no small matter for the non_Muslim raised in secular, liberal, atheistic backgrounds to find true Islam. So, the onus is on the Muslims to live our Prophet in principles & behavior so that non_Muslims get a true picture of Islam. Let's face it, the West is at war with Islam, so, it doesn't serve their agenda to give a true picture of Islam.

[jahangiro]

surely, this veneration of the prophet is excessive? all this talk of intercession makes for a personality cult...you lose sight of personal aspiration to God. Remember Muhammad was a man, if you read the seerat you see he is prone to anger, killed many people in fact, also raided tribes for booty, like the attack on Kheybar. Not saying he's a bad man, he is a product of his time.

@jahangiro Read the context with each and every point that you have raised in your comment, and you would see whats behind it! Need not to comment back, until you study the entire events related to it!

[azzy1971]

Excellent, I will deff look up the book on al burda.

Shame on all who has posted silly comments, you are not muslims but fools.

[yusuf1608]

Really was inspired listing to Shayke Hakim, gave me a real boost. Then one mistakenly glanced at the petty comments below which brought me back down! How can Muslims derive such negativity from something so eloquently presented? Furthermore, before critiquing others who put themselves out there reflect on what benefit one has brought to Islam other than being an armchair antagonist. Moreover, what must non-Muslims think when every single Islamic video accompanies squabbling Muslims below it?

[afthefragile]

Amazing interview!! Love Tim Winter!!

Also its one of my goals to study Islamic, Arabic and Persian literature as its so incredibly rich and it'ld be a shame if one didn't get the essence of its beauty!!

[wkmirza]

We do have wierdo's in Islam. Tim Winter is a grate Gem. He is entitled to his views. He did not say the Jews or the Christians will also have the HHN Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH)'s intercession. He was exemplifying the power of his prayer, that he carries the stranghth, that anyone not from his Ummah can have his intercession. Anyway, he is no liar, he is no sooth sayer. Ultimately it for Allah to judge him and all of us. Not for any man or woman.

[jahangiro]

everybody is getting sidetracked...just listen to the man talk about the topic at hand, the Burda. Sorry, it's my fault for commenting on the woman thing.

[Shaikhhh]

selam a lekum. :) @jahangiro, @erisolga is correct. Unfortunately, it is these very same hardcore muslims that are bringing problems to our faith and denegrating the name of our Prophet (saws). If you study the Koran, Allah (Sbut) states that "whoever submits his or her entire being to Allah (sbut) and is doer of righteous deeds" is the one who has the hereafter with Allah (sbut). This is the station of Ibrahaim (as), complete submission. This can include anyone not just Muslims.

[musa78692]

@Shaikhhh

fear Allah, and shut your mouth. @jahangiro is correct, and you and @erisolga both are wrong.

timothy, unfortunately is a pretender of a Sufi. Men who fear Allah, who follow Shariáh, do not sit with women and chat with them.

[Shaikhhh]

@musa78692 Selam a lekum Do me a favor brother. Go read about Islam, study with scholars and the talk. Or don't listen to this Shaykh alright.

[musa78692]

@Shaikhhh

sorry, i do not want to give you a favour

The shafaá of Prophet Muhammad is ONLY for the Muslims! Its not for non-Muslims.

this guy is no shaykh, he is a liar

[waelben2000]

@musa78692 leave matters like these to god. god knows what we don't know! we are not in a position to judge. we are just humans. all we need is just to live peacefully and respectfully.

[musa78692]

@Shaikhhh

saying jews and christians will get the shafaá is blasphemy in Sunni Islam

[Shaikhhh]

@musa78692 May Allah (Sbut) have mercy on you brother

[musa78692]

@Shaikhhh

may Allah have mercy on you and remove from your head perennialism

may Allah put his justice on timothy for lying against Islam and our Prophet Muhammad

Islam is the only true faith

[syedhasan1964]

@musa78692

I was raised as a sunni muslim. I heard from several of my religious teachers that when the jews will go to Prophet Musa for intercession, he would refuse saying he killed a man and therefore he was not worthy for that job. He would advise the jews to go to Prophet Muhammad saying Allah has forgiven all his past and future sins and therefore only he was fit for this job. Thanks for correcting me and telling me that all of my religious teachers were liars. PEACE!

[Harmonieuniverselle]

So beautiful !

[jahangiro]

is he allowed to talk to a woman like this??!!

i sense a lashing coming along. Weird how these liberal, soft cuddly Muslims seem to spark the fury of the more hardcore ones. I like this guy, presents a palatable version of Islam, though i suspect he won't be adored by a lot of Muslims guys i know, especially when he says Jews will may get into heaven! Nice calligraphy.

[erisolga]

@jahangiro Muslim men are aloud to talk to women as long the man or the woman has no desire for the other person otherwise they would have to lower their gaze. Prophet Muhammed used to talk to women face to face.
