I dont have one. None of them have really impressed or connected with me in any way whatsoever. The ONLY one I ever liked was Shiekh Anwar, and even he dove off the deep end toward the end of his tenure at the mosque here in san diego.

His life is simple by choice. He has more than enough money to not have to worry about where he is going to sleep or get his next meal. In todays world, that equals comfort.

I NEVER SAID I WAS ANY BETTER OR ANYONE WAS ANY WORSE.
Also, that was my point, about your band sucking, its all subjective, I dont actually think they suck.

Because you said that I think I am better than everyone because I dont like this story.

Re: Imam Suhaib, the American, the Shaykh, and the bag of sweets
Hey Trent, do you mind giving me your address? I'd like to send you a gift on behalf of Imam Suhaib for all of the hasanaat you have given him on this thread! I'm sure he is very thankful for that.
Jazakallahu khayr akhi.

Behold, you received it on your tongues, and said out of your mouths things which you had no knowledge; and you thought it to be a light matter, while it was most serious in the sight of God (24: 15)
Prophet Muhammad  said :"Do you know what backbiting is?" They said, "God and His Messenger know best." He then said, "It is to say something about your brother that he would dislike." Someone asked him, "But what if what I say is true?" The Messenger of God said, "If what you say about him is true, you are backbiting him, but if it is not true then you have slandered him." (Muslim)
"When man wakes up in the morning each day, all parts of the body warn the tongue saying, 'Fear God as regards us for we are at your mercy; if you are upright, we will be upright and if you are crooked, we become crooked.'" (At-Tirmidhee)
O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion, in deeds some suspicions are sins. And spy not neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear God, verily, God is the one who accepts repentance, Most Merciful. (49: 12)
Say to My servants that they should only say those things that are best, for Satan does sow dissensions among them, for Satan is to man an avowed enemy. (17:53)

Re: Imam Suhaib, the American, the Shaykh, and the bag of sweets
From the title i thought this post would be about the shaykh who gave a bag of sweets to his students and asked them to go eat it in a place where no one would be able to see them..
Nice story though. JzakAllah
Wassalaam
