I'm getting tired of always hearing this comparison language in religious lectures. Every single religious lecture I watched, regardless of the group the speaker belongs to, there's always comparison being drawn. Salafi, Suffi, Madhab enthusiasts, whatever group it is, the speaker always directly or indirectly compares his/her group with another group just to show that their group is the correct way of practising Islam. "Some people do this and that, and it's wrong, not because Islam says it is wrong but because my group says it is wrong " Which clearly indicates to the audience that OUR group doesn't do that stuff, that icky or backward or liberal stuff. Every single speaker I listened to, whether in English or Arabic does that petty thing directly or indirectly, and I think it is just funny that all these groups disagree about the most trivial things but agree on one thing..... Bashing each other. After bashing every other group aside from theirs, the speaker has the gall to say at the end of their talk.... "Muslims are not united, we have to unite" Like you just alienated half of the muslim population by alluding to or outright calling them ignorant fools who didn't reach the 'enlightenment' you got and have been practising Islam incorrectly for their entire life because your version is 'obviously' the correct version and everyone else is either misguided clowns or ignorant babies, all of them, the followers and the heavyweight scholars they follow, and somehow you still want the muslims to unite when you are actively attacking them and looking down on them and their intellectual capabilities. Who cares if someone wants to waste their time singing praises of the Prophet for four hours while (hopefully) knowing and believing fully that that is not going to benefit them in the Hereafter at all and there's no good deeds to be gained from that. Who cares if someone wants to grow their beard to the point where it reaches their feet or wear Niqab or wear short Thoub, as long as they're not committing any sins, it's none of your business, it's their money, their clothes, their beard, and they can do whatever they want to do with them, just like you wouldn't like them to tell you that you're wasting hours of your life singing, both of you love the Prophet and that's why you're doing what you're doing in your own way, so just stop bothering each other and each one mind their own business. You both know that Allah is not going to punish someone for singing about the Prophet or wanting to wear something close to his clothes, so why does it matter if that's the case? Entire lectures spent not on the subject but just on bashing everyone else other than my group, making fun of them, insinuating that they are foolish and gullible. Just complete hypocrisy, every speaker portrays themselves as the nicest man/woman around, but when they mention another Muslim group, that's when you see how ugly they actually are, arrogance, pride, looking down on people, talking behind their back, gossiping and so many other sins just on full display under the guise of "I'm not bashing them but I'm just telling you so that you don't become like them“ as if 'them' are a group of hypocrites or non-muslims or something. Just petty, kindergarten level of throwing shade, high-school level of gossip and it's just laughable. Those same speakers who are always preaching about the unity of Muslims and how we should have good character and not have bad assumptions or gossip and all of that stuff, those same speakers are doing the exact opposite of what they preach a minute later, charging their followers to view every other group as inferior Muslims and regard them as like the worst thing that happened to Islam since Abu Jahel and the hypocrites of Madina. Unfortunately the Muslim Scholars of today are too busy making fun of each other like children than focusing on the important things. They are scholars, I'm not saying they aren't, but their focus is just way off in my opinion, and that's sad to see. Instead of focusing on actual enemies, hypocrites or non-Muslims and have workshops on how to bring them to Islam and at least save THEM from eternal Hellfire through whatever group of Islam, instead let's just throw shade at each other and have screaming matches about trivial matters that don't make any difference in terms of reward or punishment from Allah, that's what I call a waste of time.
