[Shootohoist]

i am personally not a fan of such poetry and can understand how it can be interpreted wrongly, and i don't think we should promote poetry where we can say that the poet should be excused because of their state of "ecstasy" or any of that mumbo jumbo

but in the case of this particular poem

brother Dawud, you keep saying people are defending shirk yet you fail to understand that they have interpreted the poem differently to you

its like for example someone says, "Allah is within my heart"

one person will interpret this to mean the love of Allah is within the persons heart

another person will say this is shirk, you believe Allah resides within you

do you see what i mean?

wa alaykum salaam bro.

Firstly, i also dont like these excuses related to spiritual ecstacy. Fair enough husnal dhaan lets not curse him or call him kafir as maybe you would be light headed after spinning round all day, but dont teach the damn poetry. If ur excusing his kufr, why would u teach it?

Also i know noone believes in shirk, but hulool is an established aqeedah within the sufi movement, its not something im just making up. Unless people are claiming rumi was not upon any deviant aqeedah then leave his work alone. Even if u dont believe it urself, u shudnt promote it to others or defend it.

I believe smaller issues can be overlooked if we agree on tawheed inshallah and that goes for all muslim sects and groups
