Welldone to whoever closed the thread http://www.sunniforum.com/forum/show...al-Ghauthiyya! I guess the guy bugmenot was causing enough embarrassment for the neobandis, so better to bury the thread altogether. Shame he didn't have the guts to answer the questions posed to him and had to resort to personal attacks. Didn't have the guts to come out and declare Shaykh Uthman dan Fodio a kaafir or mushrik, but instead directed it at the people who highlighted the shaykh's words. Pathetic individual...I guess his ego was hurt to much after the kicking the neobandis got on that thread, so I suggest he stops worshipping his own ego before he goes around accusing people of shirk. We must remember Shaykh Uthman dan Fodio is a widely accepted righteous scholar, and the Prophet salAllahu 'alayh wasallam said, "The scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets", and that part of the legacy that Shaykh Uthman dan Fodio inherited, which he has left for the ummah are his works. Yet the internet mujaddids of this age who have inherited jack all can find bidah and shirk in the Shaykh's legacy. We ask Allah for safety and security.
