Well no, is the answer. 



THEY DID



The dispute between the two preachers intensified further whilst both parties tried to make arrangements to meet each other. The social media was being updated with regular video footage and posts by Dawah Man and Imam Hussain. Dawah Man proposed to meet in London and the meeting was cancelled by Imam Hussain due to weather conditions. 

The following day Dawah Man proposed to come to Bradford but Imam Hussain didn't mind meeting in London, but this meeting was also cancelled due to the reason that Imam Hussain needed more time to discuss about the debate within his own circle of scholars.
 

Dawah Man uploaded consecutive videos and posts which showed that alongside himself, other scholars were waiting in London for Imam Hussain until 12 o'clock (midnight). In the videos Dawah Man and the scholars state that Imam Hussain had taken the oath of Allah and said he would meet anywhere, anyplace 

and because he did not keep his word he was a fraudster, a hypocrite, dishonest, and needed to repent publicly.

After cancelling the meeting, Imam Hussain uploaded 

a video of making his way to Birmingham asking Dawah 

Man and his party to make their way there.

 

Also, after Imam Hussain reached Birmingham he 

uploaded a video with scholars waiting

 for Dawah Man and his party.

 

The public responded to both the preacher's posts on social media, the views varied, some could see the humorous side Usman posted on #mawliddebate (twitter) “this 12 o'clock deadline is more tense than trying to submit your essay in time on turnitin"



Anas uploaded the following video

commenting "on his way to the Mawlid debate in the UK. I wonder what side he's on".

 

Contrasting views were expressed by other followers and these will be presented in the next post.
