Nur Posted March 30, 2009 Big names huh! so you expect some heavy duty Fatwas? well, let us share the light side of the Sheikhs, (May Allah Have Mercy On their Souls) Scholarly Humor Once upon a time, Sheikh Albani gave a ride to a student. The Sheikh was in a hurry and the student noticed that the Sheikh was speeding, " Slow down Yaa Sheikh, because Sheikh Bin Baz considers speeding as (Tahluka ) Exposing life to undue danger" said the student Sheikh Albani said This is a Fatwa ( Edict) of someone who has no driving Experience, The student asked " Shall I tell the Sheikh of your position on this issue?" "Yes, tell him" said Sheikh Albani. When the student told Sheikh Bin Baz of Sheikh Albani's point of view, Shikh Bin Baz laughed, and said " His is the Fatwa of someone who has no experience paying Diyaat Compensation Money paid to victims of speeding accident's families! Sheikh Utheimeen! One day, as Sheikh Utheymeen emerged from the Haram of Makkah, he hailed a Taxi and as he sat in the back seat the taxi driver in curiosity asked: Taxi Driver: Who is the Sheikh? Sheikh Utheymeen: "I am Muhammaed Bin Utheimeen" Taxi Driver: "you mean, THE SHEIKH!" in disbelief. Sheikh Utheymeen: "Yes, The Shieikh! Driver shook his head in disbelief about the passenger's audacity to claim that he is Sheikh Utheymeen. The Sheikh also wanting to know who the driver is: "Who is the brother?" asked the Sheikh The Taxi Driver responded: "Abdulaziz Bin Baaz!" Sheikh Utheimeen laughed, and asked the driver again, " Are You Sheikh Abdul Aziz Bin Baz? The driver responded in defiance " Are you then Sheikh Utheimeen?" Sheikh Utheimeen responded " But Sheikh Bin Baz is blind, he can't drive" At that point, the Driver realized he blundered! Nur Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nur Posted April 5, 2009 Sophist bro. Indeed akhi, These men have revived the Sunnah in a time of upheavals in the Muslim world, without their contributions, much of the Islamic rebirth & enlightenment would not have been possible. May Allah reward them for their valuable work. Rest assured that their shoes will be filled, Islam is self rejuvenating faith, tomorrow's Taymiyas, Albanis are at higher education institutions working on religious issues of importance to the ummah.
