Missionary Mishaps: Threatens to Disable my Account for Exposing a Misquoted Hadith

A little back story. The missionary made some erratic claim about a hadith found in a collection not available in English, it’s called the Musnad of Abu Dawud at-Tayalisi. I asked the Missionary to provide the original source and he then stated he didn’t know it and that he’s never seen it, but rather this alleged English version of the hadith was just taken from a website. So I procured the ahadith collection, screenshotted the hadith and posted it. I even gave him the link to the text. Turns out he didn’t like that and flipped out. Here he threatens to have my account disabled by ‘mass reporting’ with his many ‘fake accounts’. Later he turned up in the School of Oriental and African Studies’ group (SOAS) and he was promptly banned for his petulant behaviour. This was his threat to me:

What an angry man. I can understand his frustration though. Here he is, doing the Lord’s work, trying to convert Muslims with some spuriously research garbage and all of a sudden, someone comes with actual research and study. It can be infuriating. My sympathies are with him.

Missionary Mishaps: Iblis the Angel!?

It’s often seen as a ‘contradiction’ that an angel (angels have no freewill in Islamic theology), Iblis (may Allaah’s curses be upon him) was able to disobey God as is recorded in the Qur’aan. The reality is however, that Iblis (may Allaah’s curses be upon him) was counted as an angel because he only did acts that the angels would do, so great was his outward piety. However, the Qur’aan mentions that he is a Jinn (a being with freewill), and this he was able to disobey God, something an angel in Islam can’t do. A brother who’s a part of a group I occasionally have discussions in, had this experience:

If only the missionary had read more of the Qur’aan.
