Re: Kissing a beard for barakah

I'm sorry Sadeboi, but there is no such thing as anything close to transubstantiation in Islam, or as a matter of fact all the denominations of christianity other than Catholicism. I do not even see anything similar to the catholic ritual other than the fact that they are in a single file line, and the shaykh is holding the container, and they go up one by one to kiss it if they so choose. Other that superficial form, which I believe anyone who wants some kind of order would do, I see no doctrine being expounded in this video. So please just dismiss that claim, as rightfully you should.So to help you understand the relevance of the transubstantiation comment, we need to go back to my earlier question. Define baraka for us, and what baraka does for the individual.
As for Baraka being attained from this, that again is not being made clear in this video. We have absolutely no idea what the beliefs of these people are, as I pointed out there is no doctrine being expounded in this video. So, that is another topic altogether, the baraka you mentioned is not even in the video title. So where did you get it from, other than the title of the thread, made by Fah. This baraka you are speaking of, I suggest you go to Fah, and ask him where he got that idea from.
