 MPF: Letter from Nuh Ha Mim Keller
My point is that a mentality has been given birth in this century, and the attempts by its beneficiaries to draw some legitimacy for it from existing morality or religion, if understandable at a psychological level, have nothing to do with morality or religion.
What has made them so is not lunacy, or religion, but the perception that there is no effective legal recourse to stop crimes against the civilian peoples they identify with.
As it is, we seem to have convinced a lot of other people that it is right, among them some of the more extreme elements of the contemporary Wahhabi sect of Muslims, including the members of the Bin Laden network, whom the security agencies seem to be pointing their finger at for this crime.

 INTERVIEW WITH SHEIKH NUH HA MIM KELLER —
And so he (the ‘alim) has to have access to the kind of information people in the intelligence business have access to, not merely journalistic commentary and analysis which is often merely for mass consumption.
Secondly, he has to be able to speak freely—there have to be no consequences if the ‘alim has an opinion for something or against something.
So everyone has to use all of their capacities and talents, and “None of you believes until he wishes for his brother that which he wishes for himself,” which Imam Nawawi has said means one’s non-Muslim as well as Muslim brothers.

 Kalam and Islam
Because it has not, it is clear that he did not make it a condition of faith, so knowing it is not a point of belief, nor denying it unbelief.
He has determined that the fabric of the universe depends on the coincidence of six basic physical number ratios, two of them related to basic forces, two fixing the size and texture of the universe, and two fixing the properties of space itself.
But because man has turned out just so, by an uncannily improbable coincidence, the mathematical rules formulated by pure mathematicians – which should be a mere accident of man's evolutionary and cultural history – turn out, often years after their discovery, to be exactly the same rules nature is playing by.

Keller says ".After this, a person doesn't need figurative interpretations, because the journey is no longer to Allah, but rather in Allah, meaning in the knowledge of him, directly and experientially.""[2] Of course this is the concept that was invented by Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi.
Keller on Ibn Arabi: On page 42 Keller quotes Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi as saying ".a quality which, as sheikh Muhyiddin (Ibn Arabi) notes." Comments: Regardless of Ibn Arabi's statement, the simple fact is that Keller is quoting a man who was declared a kafir by countless well-reputable Muslim scholars.
Keller, in his translation of Ahmad ibn Naqib al-Misri's "Umdat al-salik" writes: Muhyiddin ibn Arabi is Muhammad ibn 'Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Arabi, Abu Bakr Muhyi al-Din al-Hatimi al-Ta'i, The Greatest Sheikh (al-Shaykh al-Akbar), born in Murcia (in present-day Spain) in 560/1165.

 Becoming Muslim - by Nuh Ha Mim Keller
Born in 1954 in the farm country of the northwestern United States, I was raised in a religious family as a Roman Catholic.
I met many Muslims in Egypt, good and bad, but all influenced by the teachings of their Book to a greater extent than I had ever seen elsewhere.
It has been some fifteen years since then, and I cannot remember them all, or even most of them, but perhaps the ones I can recall will serve to illustrate the impressions made.

Anyone who reads these and puts them into practice in his life has an enormous return for reading hadith, even more so if he aims at perfecting himself by attaining the noble character traits of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) mentioned in hadith.
Traditional scholarship is protected from such misguidance by the authentic knowledge it has preserved, living teacher from living teacher, in unbroken succession back to the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace).
I have mentioned elsewhere some of the sciences needed by the scholar to join between all the hadiths, and that some hadiths condition each other or are conditioned by more general or more specific hadiths or Quranic verses that bear on the question.

Shaykh Nuh is a faithful representative of Ahl us-Sunnah `aqida, fiqh and spirituality, it is the Salafis, to varying degress, who have departed from this.
All the things that they attribute to Shaykh Nuh in that "article" are true and 90% of the gripes that the Salafis have with him are gripes that they have with the Ash'ari school.
Shaykh Nuh Keller was coming to USA, so I thought it would be a good idea to go and talk to him about these other problems I had with him.

However, a paper passport (on a domestic flight!) escapes a plane crash, fireball, the collapse of the world’s tallest skyscrapers and the resulting mountain of rubble, conveniently landing a few blocks away, to be picked up by the FBI.
As an aside, no “Sufihas been able to provide a satisfactory definition of “Wahhabi”, a term which is sometimes used interchangeably with “Salafi” and sometimes as a wider brush to include all Salafi (in the sense of Ahl al- Hadith), Ikhwan and Deobandi reformist and revivalist movements.
Keller repeats the old claim that the “Wahhabi sect” has “not been around for more than two and a half centuries.” As the seasoned Wahhabi-bashers usually point out themselves, the movement of Shaykh Muhammad bin ‘Abdul Wahhab was a revival inspired by that of Ibn Taymiyyah (661-728 H).

 Tawassul
As mentioned above, it has come with a chain of transmission meeting the standards of Bukhari and Muslim, so there is nothing left for a critic to attack or slanderer to disparage concerning the authenticity of the hadith.
Consequently, as for the permissibility of supplicating Allah (tawassul) through either a living or dead person, it follows by human reason, scholarship, and sentiment, that there is flexibility in the matter.
This then, and a certain person has written an article that tawassul to Allah Most High through the righteous is unlawful, while the overwhelming majority of scholars hold it is permissible, and the evidence the writer uses to corrobrate his viewpoint is devoid of anything that demonstrates what he is trying to prove.

 Sufism and Islam (Nuh Ha Mim Keller)
Speeches abound, but when the chairs are folded up and people go home, they find their prayers and inner life as dry as ever.
This essay shows that at the center of the Islamic revelation, there is a brilliant light that has never been put out, but in our times has been covered over by the bushel-basket of modernist and Muslim-reform literature.
It discusses critics of Sufism, ancient and modern, and shows that if the false coin has sometimes circulated among Muslims, the real thing is the brightest hope Islam has to offer a world benighted by nihilism and materialism.

Everyone who read it found that baraka descended wherever it was recited, in accordance with the Divine command: “Verily Allah and His angels bless the Prophet: O you who believe, bless him and pray him peace” (Qur’an 33:56).
In the post-caliphal period of the present day, Imam Jazuli’s masterpiece has been eclipsed by the despiritualization of Islam by “reformers” who have affected all but the most traditional of Muslims.
As the Moroccan hadith scholar ‘Abdullah al-Talidi wrote of the Dala’il al-Khayrat: “Millions of Muslims from East to West tried it and found its good, its baraka, and its benefit for centuries and over generations, and witnessed its unbelievable spiritual blessings and light.

The leader of the encampment was stung by a scorpion, and his followers tried everything to cure him, and when all had failed, one said, "If you would approach the group camped near you, one of them might have something".
One may not support the denial of his classification by clinging to the hadith "Every innovation is misguidance", because the only form of innovation that is without exception misguidance is that concerning tenets of faith, like the innovations of the Mutazilites, Qadarites, Murjiites, and so on, that contradicted the beliefs of the early Muslims.
