Reflections : Shaykh Mokhtar Al Maghraoui

Dr. Mokhtar Maghraoui reflects on the life of Prophet Muhammad SAW in this three part series. Al Marghraoui in his very special insightful way discusses The Prophet's Seerah with a group of his students. I feel this 2007 video still very relevant to us despite some interruption in the sound quality when his students vocalise their own reflections....
I thoroughly enjoy these videos and find it illuminating and very educational and I hope you do as well. There is something Al Maghraoui has which is fairly rare in an ulama' nowadays, and even rarer before except during the Spanish Cordoba and Serville era perhaps when Muslims were masters of the sciences. A mastery of the profane and the sublime!. He holds a double doctorate in Physics and electronic engineering and is equally at home discussing the purification of the 'qalb' and things 'fekah' as well.

Despite the 'muddle and puddle' a word of caution though....
We Muslims in general have to be careful.
On one hand we have 'ranting' issues like 'Tahlil Kematian','bidaah hasanah' that seem to 'irritate' and unfocus us and on the other hand there is this question of Muslim Unity. We should not let issues like these disunite and weaken us,especially the 'ranting' issues.

We are 1.5 billion in number.
200 millions Arabs. Some 250 millions Malay/Indonesians. 500 millions from Indo/Pakistan region. Americans and Europeans etc etc.
We cannot have 'clowns' [... even at the level of people's scholarship like Rasul Dahri ] going around saying these and that Muslims have questionable Aqidah....Rubbishing people of the past like Imam Ghazali, Ibrahim Adham and the likes .Leave this part to HIM. It is none of our business.

At the end of the day HE looks at our hearts and our level of piety.
