Wa Alaikum Salam, brother Thipps.thipps said:Assalam-o-Alaikum Seekeraftertruth,
Assalam-o-Alaikum Faithfulservant,
A correction: to my understanding, WAHABI constitute a sect, not a school of thought. A friend of mine who knows more than me regarding these issues said the same. I think there was a thread about sunni and shia sects;these are like Protestants and Catholics in Christianity. This is different from the four 'schools of thought', which are related to Islamic Jurisprudence and issuing Fatwa. Again, I suggest a seperate thread for this.
I trust you have had a blessed 'Eid ul-Adha. Actually, I've been checking the Suras and Hadiths quoted in your posts; I was unaware that you were near the Sacred Mosque. You are very fortunate.
I am not Wahabi, but I am Muslim, and as such I am very mindful of the beliefs of all others, whether I agree with them or not. According to mainstream Islam, Wahabi's school of thought is considered a sect. It was not accepted as mainstream. I included it for the sake of any Wahabis who believe it should be. And yes, I have been quite blessed to have received extensive education in all schools of thought, as well as all sects and branches of Islam. As I am certain you know, Salih Bukhari's Hadith is not the only Hadith accepted by some schools of thought, and your use of Yusuf Ali's English translation of the Holy Qur'an, as opposed to say, Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall's, interested me. Rather than make assumptions I thought I'd ask.
