Shaykh Muhammad Bazmool said:


The signs of a follower of desires are:

  1. He does not submit to the truth and evidence, even if it's made clear to him.
  2. He accuses the truth and its people of mistake.
  3. He does not traverse upon the way of the Pious Predecessors as it pertains to deduction (i.e. of a ruling).
  4. His intent is to nullify the sunan, and to refute the speech of his opponent. It is not to seek the truth and accept it.
  5. Revilement of the scholars and abandonment of returning to them.
  6. He is known by his methodology -to have- hostility towards the Sunnah and demands the repelling of it.
