1) I didn't say anything about going against the Quran and Sunnah... Going against the grain isn't going against the Quran and Sunnah...
2) It is a personal opinion... I think the Maliki madhab is more reasonable... you might think that of the Hanafi madhab, or whatever.... It is a personal opinion... The Maliki madhab agrees with my fitra.. Am I following my hawaa cause I think Maliki madhab makes more sense???? If it doesn't make sense, than it's not following one's hawaa...

I am sorry if I think it makes more sense that a convert should be able make dua to his Lord in other than arabic while in sujud... In the Shafi madhab making dua in other than arabic invalidates your prayer... although it does not invalidate your prayer in the Hanafi madhab, it is forbidden to do so... The Maliki madhabs makes more sense, it seems more reasonable... Am I following my hawaa because I think that???? I don't speak arabic.... I am like why would Allah punish me for wanting to speak to Him in my language....


So, you're basically saying that you're following the Maliki madhhab not because of the evidence found in the madhhab, but because for what it allows? I think that is following one's desires. If you had a reason that was more "reasonable" such as the fact that the Maliki madhhab is based on the a'maal of Madinah and that since Rasoolullah last lived amongst the Madinians, it appears to be the closest to his sunnah - okay, that's an honourable and reasonable excuse. But, you prefer the Maliki madhhab because you can do an optional act in your own language? You do realize that none of the madhahib place restrictions on the language of the du'a outside of salah.

A person can just as easily say that the Maliki madhhab sounds most reasonable to them because dogs are permitted to be kept as pets and dog saliva is not considered impure and doing so would make life easier for someone who is already a dog owner and has a very close attachment to his pet. A person can just as easily say that the Shafi'i madhhab sounds most reasonable because it does not make a big deal about shaving the beard and that doing so makes life easier if you're living in the West.
