      We must N0T hate each other, we must HELP each other
      People say ST😡P taking mistakes out of others
      ( But Allah says help each other by taking mistakes out of each other - Surah Al Asr )
      People say your not a Alim, Scholar or Mufti so shut it 🤫
      ( But the Prophet P.B.U.H said even if you know one Ayat then pass it on )
      People say ST😡P criticising other sects
      ( But the reality is our Prophet P.B.U.H told us only one sect will enter paradise )
      This means Alims, Scholars, & Muftis from 72 sects will not enter paradise
      Will you agree with a $hia Alim, Scholar or Mufti ❓
      The BEST Way to unite the ummah is by following the Quran & Hadith, but this can 0NLY be achieved if we ST0P following those teachings of preachers & sects that are contradicting the Quran & Hadith

    I knew you gonna say that book because you said the shaykh had a skill of making simple complicated issues i know from experience using his works he is exactly fits that description.
    Any class I attend if the shaykh has covered i always refer to his first to get clear picture of the issues like his sharh on mukhtasar tahrir currently studying it with institute of linguists.
    As a Hanbali Fiqh student his Sharh Mumti despite it not being from the relied upon works in the hanbali madhab but still he does great job in simplifying the masaail and cryptic language of the fuqahaa which students of our time need otherwise he will be stuck. Classical shuruh tend to have cryptic language style but the shaykh addresses you like you a child.
    Sh ibn uthaymin style is like the ignition of the car or gear 1 i.e he gets us started gives the base.

    the greatest fiqh books are classical, the most dangerous thing is to perpetuate the notion, that the greatest books are the ones of three shuyukhs while there are tons of giants who are more worthy and did far more and were closer to the truth and to the prophet peace upon him......

      ​@@liby254 true, you're right...... but still, why getting silver while you can get gold, knowing that your time is counted on this earth and you have too much responisibilities, and you will never have time to study everything
