It's quite funny to see Tariq Ramadan asking these two questions, as if they know more than him!:-) Althought i don't agree totally with Tariq, i must admit he's more learned than the other 2.. just my opinion

[mujtahid2006]

Barak Allah feequm brother for your kind words

[MrGrandDragon]

Brother since you have the time to respond I may as well convey my gratitude.Your effort and hard work is something I hope other Muslims will be inspired by.

JazakAllah khair :)

[mujtahid2006]

We need to radically change our governments and their corrupt apparatus. In their stead, we need to establish a governing structure which is learned in Islam, understands the reality of the world and human beings, and is free from outside control. This state is none other than the Khilafah, and the rule of Islamic law will fall on everyone, ruler to beggar (if any will be left after the Islamic economic system is implemented :) ).

[MrGrandDragon]

Yes good point.

Do you know of any way to start implementing the full law?

[mujtahid2006]

@MrGrandDragon,

Tariq says because we are not satisfying the other conditions for hudud (i.e. other Islamic laws being implemented), we should abolish applying hudud.

The conspicuous thing is, why doesn't he say the most common sense solution "If our societies lack the full implementation of Islam...then we should work to fully implement Islam - and not need to have defeatist talk of abolishing the last remaining vestiges of Islam we still have left in our state systems!"

[MrGrandDragon]

I understand but Hid views on Hudud are interesting. He mentions conditions for Hudud and argues that certain punishments can only be established once the conditions are met. He focuses more on the Usool of Fiqh

Walaikumsalam, je suis tres bien monsieur!! et toi? J'ai pense que tu as oublie nos conversations... You are doing a great job though, Je suis fier de toi! :)

[zaytoon88]

I am happy to know that Tariq's views on the Ihsan aspect of our Deen are in line with traditional Ahl Sunnah wa Jama'a (if what you tell me is accurate). However, we must not forget that our Deen also has an "Islam" aspect to it, which would include things like shariah, islamic governance, hudud, etc.

But you raise a good point. We should look into the good that our brothers have and try to gently correct them on their incorrect views.

[MrGrandDragon]

Tariq is a very articulate person. His views on traditional Islam are amazing especially his scope on ever subject. His questions reveal a level depth that reflects his knowledge and understanding of Islam.

There was a topic on Spiritualism and Sufism where his views were absolutely traditional and orthodox.
