How to disagree without insulting each other - with Dr Shadee Elmasry
This week's episode of Muslima Mindset is a discussion from my husband's podcast, The Thinking Muslim Podcast. He spoke to a regular guest Dr Shadee Elmasry about division within the Muslim community. I ask him, how does Islam help us to navigate our differences? What makes a valid shari’ opinion? How do we know whether a scholar or commentator is sincere to sources of Islam? What makes a mujtahid and what are the limits of the muqallid (follower)? We discuss the recent trend amongst duat to call out and defame one another.We also discuss the duty of enjoining maroof and forbid munkar, how does a layman fulfil this duty? What gives the commoner the right to question even scholars on issues and what are the guidelines? How do we forbid wrong while transmitting respect and not exacerbating divisions? We look at the notion ‘only Allah can judge’ and the anger that pervades much of modern social media ‘da’wah’. What does it mean to be smart in conveying Islam? and does being smart sometimes come at the cost of being truthful?Receive my weekly newsletter http://www.smartmuslima.com/Join my telegram channel https://t.me/smartmuslimaEmail: hello@farhatamin.comI have changed the podcast name from A Muslim Mom to Smart Muslima!--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/farhatamin/message Hosted on Acast.
