He is extremely reclusive and does not mix with the muslims in our area. MashAllah his aqueedah is very sound and I can not fault him on the books he writes. Which are written with clear evidence.
Yet I have often complained to him, his wife and the scholars about enjoining good where he lives and inviting the muslims upon good. And this is an area I feel he has failed in.
Where he gives talks on telelink but does not bother to teach local muslims the religion where it is needed. Including Arabic!
I also find them very insular and unwelcoming in dawah as well.
InshAllah.. it is good to let people know about these weaknesses as not every muslim is perfect. However, the books are superb and well written!
Needless to say I am best friends with his wife and live about 2 minutes away from him. However, since living here we are feeling an immense void in learning our religion and being around knowledgable muslims. And having someone to talk to!
Very very sad! May Allah make it easy for us and guide us to knowledge InshAllah ameen.
If I have said anything wrong then please forgive me inshAllah ameen.
