This blog is about people who wish to change God's words and some who says that God knows best and we will use our intellectual try to comprehend it better. I am from Denmark and I pursuing a master degree in International Finance and now I realize that the islamic financial system is the most robust system ever. However, for the progressive "muslims", they need to figure out what they want. Either you accept what Allah has decreed or else just leave the fold of islam. Someone needs to explain to them that the word muslim means someone who submits and submission it not to our own desire, but to the desire of Allah. Only then you are muslim.

First of all, thanks for sharing this. I don't know why it took me so long to notice this post. (It is amazing what you can discover when you have an essay due.) The thread was way too long so I apologize if I am repeating what others have said. I skimmed to about halfway through the comments. And I must say it is incredibly disheartening that most of the comments focused on handshaking. There is a much greater story here. And that is about the need to reach out to Muslims of other backgrounds as us and be in communication with them. We don't have to agree with them on all points, but this article goes to show that just by talking to them we can break down stereotypes, and this might lead them to a better appreciation and understanding of the religion. Many of those who stand on the fringes of Islam and criticize it would be in a much better position if they had grown up having positive experiences of "conservative" scholars. I hope Sh. Yasir and others learned from this experience and continue to reach out to those on the fringes. Salaam MR and all. First of all, thanks for sharing this.

Has Yasir even responded to the claim that he was so cozy with a lady and even shook her hand "firmly"? You all should be quiet until he addresses that. You're just distracting from the main issue here. The guy himself has spoken adamantly against the Fiqh opinion that men may shake a non-Muslim woman's hand for the sake of da`wah (its not even about Muslim to Muslimah which was the case between Yasir and Mona). So he needs to address this. Until then, all conversation should stop. For the sake of Allah! Has Yasir even responded to the claim that he was so cozy with a lady and even shook her hand “firmly”?

Also, we shouldn't follow anyone in their footsteps, except habeebana Muhammad, sallah Allahu alayhi wasallam. He is the example that we should follow. Aa'isha, radi Allahu anha, mentioned how the Prophet was like a walking Qur'an. Therefore, we should use his example to take us to Jannah. At the same time, there are many scholars who teach us how the Prophet was which is compiled in the Sunnan. Following anyone blindly is very dangerous. It is important that we know the truth and follow it. Also, I wanted to say this everyone who reads this blog and please pass it along to those who don't: Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has blessed us with the deen. The fact that we are Muslims to this day, is a blessing on its own. We haven't seen the Prophet, and have only read and heard about him. The more generations following the passing of the Prophet, gets an even greater reward for following the true path without seeing it firsthand. I pray that we all go back to the Qur'an and the Sunnah and learn our deen. This is such a waste of time to pinpoint what other people's faults are when we ourselves, are less than perfect.
