[quote][b] "Islam is Complete and Requires Only Submission 
May Allah have mercy upon you! Know that a servant's Islaam is not complete until he follows, attests to and submits to (the truth). So anyone who claims that there remains anything from Islaam not sufficiently explained by the Companions of Allaah's Messenger, has falsely accused them, has split from them and spoken ill of them. He is an innovator, astray and leading others astray, introducing into Islaam that which is not from it.[1]

NOTES
1. Ibn Mas'ood, radiallaahu 'anhu, described the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah (saws) saying, "Allaah looked into the hearts of the servants and found the heart of Muhammad (saws) to be the best of hearts, so He chose him for Himself and sent with him His Revelation, then He looked into the hearts of the servants after the heart of Muhammad (saws) and found the hearts of his Companions to be the best of the hearts of the servants, so He made them the helpers of His Prophet, fighting for His Religion. So that which the Muslims hold to be good is good with Allaah and that which they hold to be bad is bad with Allaah." Reported in the Musnad of Imaam Ahmad(1/379) and declared hasan by Shaikh al-Albaanee in ad-Da'eefah(2/17)." [/b]

Assalamu Alaykum dear sister

You understand ofcourse that the religion as understood and explained by Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Abd' AL Wahhab (who in turn relied upon the works of the great Hanbali scholar Ibn Tayimayah) is not the only understanding and explanation of Islam right?

Are you aware that there is a range of legitimate juristic opinion that differs with these great scholars?

Your posts seem to have this quality of exclusivity. As though all the questions one might have about Islam have been answered completley by Shaykhs Bin Baz and Albani.

I hope you understand sister that it is not my intent to be antagonistic towards you or the opinions you have expressed. I only hope that you study the works available to you on this site with an open mind, and supplement this study with a reading of Islamic history,including but not limited to; the development of the various schools of thought, the legal framework made popular by Imam Al' Shafi(ra), mainstream theology as developed by 'Ashari(ra) and Maturdi(ra), Philosophy as understood and ultimatley rejected by Al ghazali(ra), Ibn Tayimayah(ra) and his reaction to the kalaam of his era. I offer these suggestions in no particular order, I'm just asking you to cover as musch ground as possible in your study of Islamic history.

Peace sister
