My beloved brothers and sisters,
a very interesting and very important topic
that we must discuss and we must realise
and understand
is that amongst us there are scholars,
those who are
teaching us. They've disseminated
to us the knowledge of the deen of
Allah
and they continue to teach us.
There will always be difference of opinion amongst
the scholars. Remember that.
It's impossible not to have difference of opinion.
From the time of the Sahaba radiallahu anhu,
they differed
and at times they differed very strongly,
But none of them belittled the other
because that is a disease and it becomes
a mental,
psychological
problem, either a superiority
complex, an inferiority
complex
or simple mental illness or the fact that
the person has not
purified
themselves. They haven't cleansed their hearts
because the prophet
has taught us
even in his presence when there was difference
among the companions
before they could get to Him to clarify
it, He made it clear
that there is a certain etiquette. You differ
in a way, in a manner
that will continue
to ensure the respect of the person you
differ with no matter how strong that difference
is.
