“Maulana, I was having a discussion on Islam with someone here in Chennai. He mentioned to me that the Mecca model was a defensive model and the Medina model was an offensive one. I want to know, is there any classification between these two models? Was this person right in stating that one model was defensive and the other offensive?”
Muslims not following Prophet and companions' models
“Muslims do not follow the models set by the Prophet and his companions. They think adding titles to their names is sufficient. When we remind them of this fact they fail to understand it. It is something alien to them that they are our models. What is your opinion on this?”
