▪️Who is Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan Ad-Diddu? · He is an Islamic scholar from Mauritania. · He is a leading figure associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. ▪️What are his beliefs? · His ideology is described as a mix of the Muslim Brotherhood, Sufism, and the Ash'ari and Maturidi schools of Islamic theology. · He is a member of the "International Union of Muslim Scholars," which is presented as an organisation for Muslim Brotherhood thinkers. · He runs a centre in Mauritania that claims to train scholars. ▪️What is the main criticism against him? · Opposition to Saudi Scholars: He publicly rejected and criticised an official statement from Saudi Arabia's Council of Senior Scholars that condemned the Muslim Brotherhood. He called it a "political statement," not an Islamic one. · Mixing Beliefs: He is criticised for treating different Islamic theological sects (like Ash'aris and Salafis) as equally valid, similar to how different schools of fiqh are treate, whereas core Islamic beliefs (Aqeedah) is fixed and not open to such variation. · Dangerous Comparison: He is accused of wrongly comparing Islamic creed to subjects like grammar, suggesting it can have errors and interpretations, whereas the text states that correct creed is based only on the Qur'ān and Sunnah and is not like other sciences. ▪️Conclusion: Ad-Diddu has a "confused" understanding of Islamic creed and has overstepped his knowledge. · The beliefs of the Salaf are the only correct path and are not open to the kind of diversity that Ad-Diddu promotes.
