Dealing with Differences
"Islam teaches that wudu is done this way." The man said confidently.
"But you're wrong," the young man replied. "That's totally against the laws of Islam."
"But it says in a hadith that." The older man started saying.
"That's a weak hadith!" The younger man interrupted.
"Oh Yeah! What's your daleel (proof)? I read in a book that the blessed prophet said to..."
By this time both men were fuming. The young man screamed, "I read in a book, too, that..."

Salaam aliukum,
Alhamdulilah. Let us keep in mind points when dealing with differences: the hadith of 'asr and the manners of Islam.
The hadith of 'asr basically says that different opinions can exist and both can be valid. The hadith itself deals with two opinions on when they ought to have prayed 'asr, and Rasool Allahi, peace be upon him, does not point one group out as being incorrect.
The Islamic manners I refer to are those of kindness. Yelling and shouting about the authenticity of a hadith is not Islamic. Again, recall the hadith of a nomad urintating in the masjid. The companions wants to jump him for this injustice - Rasool Allahi, peace be upon him, says "let him finish." Subhan'Allah. Also, recall the notion that we are to make 70 excuses for the mistakes of our brothers and sisters before jumping to some conclusion that they are misguided.
If anything I have said is right it comes from Allah who deserves all praise and if it is wrong or mis-said it comes from me and the shaitan.
salaam aliukum |

All the Salaf (the noble predicessors) called to Islam and to unite upon the Sunnah of Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam)
and they did not declare astray anyone who differs with them (in a certain issue) because of (a different) interpretation (Taweel),
except in matters of Aqeedah because they considered him, who differed in Aqeedah as astray.
Shaikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (rahimahullah) said in Majmoo al-Fatawa (vol. 3, p. 178):
“The great man who has a great position in Islam and good accomplishments might fall into certain mistakes that he is excused in, he might also be rewarded.
He should not be followed in that mistakes however, even his position should not fall in the hearts of the believers. ”

I Didn't Kill 'The Jewel of Medina'
...
There is a long history of anti-Islamic polemic that uses sex and violence to attack the Prophet and his faith. This novel follows in that oft-trodden path, one first pioneered in medieval Christian writings. The novel provides no new reading of Aisha's life, but actually expands upon provocative themes regarding Muhammad's wives first found in an earlier novel by Salman Rushdie, "The Satanic Verses," which I teach. I do not espouse censorship of any kind, but I do value my right to critique those who abuse the past without regard for its richness or resonance in the present.
The combination of sex and violence sells novels. When combined with falsification of the Islamic past, it exploits Americans who know nothing about Aisha or her seventh-century world and counts on stirring up controversy to increase sales. If Ms. Nomani and readers of the Journal wish to allow literature to "move civilization forward," then they should read a novel that gets history right.

Wa alaikum assalam w.r.w.b.
I strongly object to your terming works of fiction as "external differences"
The discussion is about differences arising out of varying interpretations of certain legal Rulings within Islam and not about fiction from commercial novels.
