Finland Commemorates Ahmed Deedat with a Stamp

asSalaam ‘alaykum wa Rahamtullah,

This might be some very old news but it was the first time I saw this. I got it from my uncle’s inbox. Masha’allah, Ahmed Deedat (May allah Have Mercy On his soul) was one of the most popular da’ees of his times in Comparitive religion. He stood out amongst other da’ees of his time due to his ability to quote and recall references nto only from the Qur’an and hadith literature but also the Bible. I believe he is the initiator of the da’wah or the manner of da’wah that Zakir Naik and others practice today.

And surprisingly Finland! Yes Finland out of all the European and Muslim and African (he was established in South Africa, it was Finland that decided to commemorate this man with a stamp. Well here it is:

Br AbdulRahman ibn Esa Chao
AbdulRahman Chao is an Islamic Studies teacher and khateeb at Darussalam Masjid and Alhuda School in College Park, Maryland. In the Summer of 2006, he became one of the youngest people to graduate from the Islamic University of Medinah at age 21.

The Perfect Balance: The Moderation of Ahli Sunnah wal Jama’ah
In this seminar Shyakh AbdulRahman Chao will teach us how the poeple that stick to the Sunnah avoid falling into religious extremes when they follow the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). After all the only yard-stick we have that is infallible are the Quran and Sunnah. Thus this path is the path that is the most moderate, it guides us to not infringe upon the rights of our creator as well as the rights of others. It is the most balanced path, where it shows us through the example of the Prophet (sal Allahu ‘alayhi wa Sallam) to balance our hereafter with the this world and the deen with the dunya. We all supplicate multiple times a day to be upon the straight path, and little do we realize that this straight path is the most perfect path which is the most moderate path devoid of religious extremes. Int he seminar, the instructor will give an analysis of how the People of the SUnnah (Ahlus Sunnah) fall in the middle, avoiding extremes, of not only the sects within ISlam but also they fall in the middle path between all the other religions.
I refer you to a quote regarding this by Ibn Taymiyya (RA) here!
