I follow the naseehat, advice and ta'leem of The Majlis.

Answer

―Too strict?‖ The Maulana Saheb and your parents are astray. They do not realize the veiled kufr they are advising you with.

Alhamdulillah, Allah Ta'ala has guided you and opened up the Path of the Sunnah. Now shaitaan is using the Maulana to derail you from the Deeni path which has become your life style and along which you are walking to reach Allah Ta'ala. The Maulana is in grievous error. He is extremely short-sighted. The danger is that his lack of intelligence is constituting a danger for ordinary people who abandon their haraam lifestyle and desire to follow the Deen.

His advice is veiled kufr which he does not understand. Such advice which detracts from the Deen was the way of the mushrikeen of Makkah, who rejected the ‗strictness' of the Ta'leem of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). In this regard, the Qur'aan Majeed states:

―Verily, We know well that whatever they are saying grieves you (O Muhammad!). However, in reality, they are not denying (and rejecting) you. But, these zaalimeen

(oppressors) are in reality denying (and rejecting ) the Aayaat of Allah.‖

(Al-Anaam, Aayat 33)

The Mushrikeen knew and believed that Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was truthful. In fact they had awarded him the title, Al- Ameen (The Truthful One). Nevertheless, despite their idolatry and shirk, they did believe that only Allah Ta'ala was The Creator, hence they would not say that they reject the Aayaat of Allah Ta'ala. For their kufr they made Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) their scapegoat, accusing him of fabricating the Qur'aan.

In similar vein are the molvis of today attributing the Sunnah which we propagate through The Majlis. Although they are aware that whatever we teach is the Sunnah and the Shariah, backed up by the Qur'aan and Hadith, they claim that The Majlis is ‗too strict'. But, in reality they are implying that Allah Ta'ala and His Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) are ‗too strict', and this is their kufr.
