Principle

"The commands of the Shari'ah may not be changed just because we do not understand them. This is an unquestionable and widely acceptable principle.

Minor and major uncleanliness (Hadath Asghar and Hadath Akbar) fall in the same realm. These terms do not have clear understandable meanings. For example, Shari'ah tells us that breaking wind makes us unclean (i.e. our wudu is broken). In order to clean ourselves from this impurity, we are to wash our face, our arms to the elbows, feet up to the ankles and make masah of (wipe over) our head. We do not understand what possible relationship there may be between breaking wind and washing these body parts in order to purify ourselves, nor are we allowed to guess. But since the Shari'ah commands us to wash these body parts, we will continue to do so."

Too much time with intellectuals.
My heart stops thinking.
Stupidity starts sounding smart.
Need to reconnect it to its roots.
