5. You said: "Calling Omar Sulaiman a deviant because of an obvious joke he made towards a convert is EXTREMELY disrespectful of you."

I say: Sister, you are attempting to defend the indefensible. Don't let your affection for this individual cloud your judgment. Let's analyse the clip together, putting aside our personal desires and viewing it through the lens of Shari'ah. If we approach it this way, we will conclude that his words fall into one of two categories, both of which are Haraam: Cat. 1: Omar Suleiman believes what he said to be true (i.e., that taking Shahadah will make you taller). I’m sure we both understand why this is incorrect. In fact, this statement is so erroneous that you have chosen to disregard it entirely. How can a "respected" scholar make such a claim?! I agree with you that this statement is too absurd for him to genuinely believe, and this was not the purpose in sharing the clip! My concern is that he expressed this to a revert; someone who may know little about Islam. He was also speaking in a public setting, and the clip has been shared online. So, how certain are you that this will not mislead others? Cat. 2: The least that can be said is Omar Suleiman is lying to make others laugh! Is this permissible? Moreover, this clip is not the sole reason for declaring Omar Suleiman a deviant. Rather, this may be one of his least concerning deviations. Here are some of his other deviations: Omar Suleiman supports gay rights https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/1239 Omar Suleiman takes part in Gay Christian marches and watches on as Muslims members of his team get anointed by Gay priestesses https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/1241 Omar Suleiman holds hands with LGBTQ priestesses during the Christian march https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/1242 Omar Suleiman takes part in pagan rituals on more than one occasion https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/1243 https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/1244 Omar Suleiman issues wrong Fatwas https://t.me/salafirecords/1499 Omar Suleiman is part of Al-Maghrib institute https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/310 Further deviances: https://t.me/salafirecords/1498 Read this: https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/709 And this: https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/849 6. You said: "This Ummah doesn't need people like you pointing fingers at well respected Shuyukh and scholars and calling them deviants behind their backs" I say: This person is not a respected Sheikh/scholar, my dear sister. Some vulnerable Muslims, like yourself, are using the wrong criteria to determine who is and isn’t a sheikh/scholar: https://youtu.be/YNE98U0eO04?feature=shared Regarding backbiting, please read points 4 & 5: https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/103 7. You said: "If you TRULY cared about people being ,,misguided at their hands", then have at least the courage to talk to them publicly and challenge their beliefs/opinions." I say: I do not participate in debates with people of innovation, as this is not the way of the Salaf. Instead, I suffice with sharing public posts warning vulnerable Muslims from being misled by their doubts. 8. You said: "I'm truly VERY DISAPPOINTED in how this channel turned out to be." I say: My aim is not to disappoint anyone. My aim is merely to clarify the truth - even if it may be a bitter pill to swallow; just as the Prophet ﷺ advised Abu Darr, saying: ((قل الحق ولو كان مراً)) 9. You said: "Please check your intention and seek Allahs help and forgiveness" I say: Jazakillahu Khayran. 10. You said: "I see you as being extrem-> someone who has taken the path of extremism" I say: This is subjective: https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/1220 11. You said: "calling people names you have no knowledge of. Do you even know what a deviant is?" I say: Spare some time to listen to these: Why is Jarh wa Ta'deel so important? https://youtu.be/MWlwQRkBpHU?feature=shared The two polar extremes when it comes to Jarh wa Ta'deel: https://youtu.be/VcRsz885RhU?feature=shared
