[LoloLibia]

It´s quite remarkable how much the salafis (or some of the people claiming to be of the Hanabilah nowadays) focus on Aqida when they are supposed to follow the salaf and just make tafweed. From my own encounters with salafis this is one of several really remarkable paradoxes. Another one of these paradoxes would be that it usually takes takes about 10 seconds speaking to a salafi (unfortunately this has spread to most corners of the Ummah) before he brings up something negative and/or controversial. The Ummah is this or that, this is shirk, this is bid´a etc etc. Is it possible to imagine the Salaf to be a gang of whiners who just complained about everything all the time? Or even more absurd, to envisage our Prophet as someone who constantly focused on argumentation and negative things? Our beloved Prophet liked to hear good news and always had Rida. Corruption has to be addressed and error has to be pointed out, but when you step into alot of mosques today the first thing you hear is complaint about the politicial situation in x or y country, that this or that is bid´a and the list goes on. Do we think that this attracts non-muslims to our religion? What kind of people takes argumentation and complaint as nourishment for their souls?

I would like to point out that i don´t just want to bash salafis, but i have found that this tendency is very extreme in those corners (atleast here in Sweden). The tendency is widespread and especially so on the internet. In our blessed tradition argumentation is not viewed as anything good, quite the contrary..
