Suhaib Webb – Imam Subki’s Advice On Critique

First of all, Imam Asukri,

who comes later on, he's a later scholar,

he comes after Imam. He's an Imam student.

Right? He writes a very important book called.

And he mentions this very important principle when

it comes to,

criticism and the validation of a person.

And he says, it is crucial and beneficial

to understand this principle,

which is not commonly found in the foundational

text. And that is the principle is when

you there should be a colon there. When

you hear the criticism,

that criticism takes precedence over validation. You hear

this

a lot. You hear it a lot. But

it's not true, actually.

And that's something that you may find out

there. Like if someone's criticized, we prefer the

criticism, and we don't listen to any good

qualities about them, so we cancel them, basically.

So

is saying,

no.

They said that might cause you to assume,

especially if you are inexperienced or solely rely

on books,

that criticism should always be adhered to.

So like now, we think about how easily,

like, you could just put something online. Someone

can put something online about someone

and that's it. Like, it's a wrap. Peace

out, homie.

At least Khadr gave him 3 times.

So he says beware of this assumption

that, you know, if someone's criticized, that's it.

As it is critical to approach this matter

with caution.

The correct approach as we see it is

that when someone's leadership and integrity has been

established,

and they have numerous supporters and years also

of work and few detractors,

and if there is evidence suggesting that the

criticism

stems from sectarian bias,

or other motives,

we disregard the criticism

and uphold their integrity.
