So the ambiguity was in reference to Maulana Desai? The point being made is even more unclear now. You wrote that people follow a particular scholar and find his approach infallible and then you complain about others who do not follow the respected Maulana and take the opinion of their own preferred scholar. It is all very cryptic for my uncomplicated brain. I will leave you all to it. One thing, I request is that before starting any new thread, please think first... is this a topic/discussion that will benefit the forum users? If so, in what way? Will it benefit my aakhirah or will it become a burden for me? Once we evaluate, we tend to reassess. Lastly, not all threads come to the attention of every moderator, but when threads are found to be of no benefit to anyone in this world or the next, there is a justified cause for it to dissappear.
Not for a moment has this thread been aimed at your "obsession" with Mawlana AS Desai! To the contrary! When I have, in discussions, quoted or brought the view of Mawlana to light then I have been told - since you follow Mawlana don't drink coke or don't eat chicken! This is the sickening mentality that I am complaining about. I follow Sheikh so-and-so so I don't care two hoots about Mawlana Desai...and it eventually leads to some sort of attack/slander against the Mawlana. All other 'ulama are allowed to have differences of opinion but no, Mawlana Desai is not!
