HT's top Mujtahid joins Qulliam

[asharee_salafi]

Assalaam alaykum,

This is Rashad Ali, known by HT to be a Mujtahid Mutlaq, he was regarded as atop scholar and now he is a secularist.....so much for islamiyya shaksiyya!

This is the problem with declaring anyone who knows two words of arabic a mujtahid.

Or one who knows a thing or two about jihaad.

This is what happens when your have separated yourself the true Islamic intellectual tradition. Hizb at-Tahrir, which has given itself over to purely political objectives, as abandoned the foundations of Islam (aqidah, fiqh, etc), so it doesn't take much for someone in this political environment to take the next step and shed what little Islamic trappings that Hizb at-Tahrir has left.

I know many call Hizb at-Tahrir a Mutazil'i organization, but even the classical Mutazil'i had some grounding in the Islamic sciences, something which Hizb at-Tahrir does not. Instead they have their grounding in the political methodologies of the Marxists and other leftist revolutionary, utopian groups. As such, to see that people like "Ed" Hussein, Hassan Butt (from the neo-Tahriri Muhajiroun), Maajid Nawaf, and other such morally and intellectual bankrupt scum coming out of Hizb at-Tahrir and related organizations is of little surprise.

Bismillah,

As Salaam 3alaikum,

He was preaching at a lecture I was at and my teacher began to challenge him. He explicitly asked him 'did you or are you a mujtahid mutalaq' and he laughed and said no and I have never claimed this. He also challenged him on a number of other things such as democracy and homsexuality, and he apparently was surprised to be questioned on these things, or was playing dumb.

Allaahu Alaam I have heard these things said about him, and I saw it from his own lips him denying it. Also those who were close to him said he was their mujatahid, but apparently againa according to his own words he never claimed this.

He got ripped apart, as my teacher had heard similiar things about him and was eager to see if it was true, and slowly he began to challenge him more and more on different issues. He for example claimed certain things about Shawkani and was refuted and as I say he seemed rather disinterested in the discussion and was trying to brush off those challenging him either to avoid it or due to the fact he was ignorant of that which people attribute to him and was surprised.

It would seem that he is just looking to ride the same gravy train that "Ed" Hussein has been a passenger on. Money, selling books, and media appearances, these are truly diseased people who will do or say anything to get a little attention.

I never liked this guy since the time I heard him say salafis are Idol worshipers,that they/we worship an Idol who sits on a chair.

He said this in response to a question about the asma wa sifat and the salafi/sunni understanding/belief of them.


This was a while ago when I was still not sure about the matter and didnt have much knowledge on the matter(not that I have much knowledge now)but I remained silent because I was clueless,even though his statement made me feel uneasy.

InshaAllah if I ever meet him again I will confront him about it,I think Ill ask him why he made mass takfir of salafis? and take it from there.

Talk about feigning ‘intellectualism’…
Doesn’t he bear a little resemblance to that Guardian columnist, Russell Brand?

I'm just waiting for the likes of Imran Waheed, Qasim Kawarij and Sajad Khan to drop their HT addiction and embrace something else and then this crippled HT BRITAIN CELL will be completely hollowed out.
