want all your questions answered

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu

There has been some complaint about www.askimam.com as it seems many times Mufti Desai sahib does not provide dalil with his answers to important questions and matters. Therefore, I recommend www.islamqa.com which has answers to thousands of questions from Shaikh Salih Munajid.

Also, brother Iqbal Soofi sahib I don't know what you mean by Imams are in the business for sensationalism. The ulama in general are our most precious class, and they bear one of the most heaviest responsibilities. We should give them utmost respect and love for their noble work, and we should never abuse them. Jazak Allah khair.

This is only a verbal opinion of a few people that our ulema are the most precious class. Practically, nobody likes to send ones normal child to make an alim out of him. It's due to nothing but their reputation. I simply disclosed this fact in my previous post. You termed it as an abuse to our ulema. Now tell me why it's considered an abuse to ulema if somebody tells the truth about them?

Is it fair to tar all ulema with the same brush? Because that is exactly what you are doing. I know imaams have a bit of a bad reputation in Pakistan, but that's their fault for 1. misinterpreting Islam and 2. mainly for not practicing what they preach. But even then that isn't the case with all of them and definitely not with imaams in the rest of the world.

In general they are worthy of respect and your opinion of them is just that.. an opinion - certainly not a fact. There are more people than you think that do want their children to become alims - myself being one of them.

I want to know how much of my wealth i have to pay for zakaah, can you answer me that from the Qur'an please?

Okay, so you agree that we do use ahadith also. Now where does it say that the scholars shouldn't learn mathematics? Why stereotype all scholars to not be knowledgable of maths just because the ones you may know don't know it that well?

If we knew ahadith, then we would have to know there authenticity. We would also need to know the context in which they were discussed in. The same can be said about the verses of Qur'an.


If we studied all these areas in depth, and worked our way to become knowledgable enough to extract our own rulings - then yes, we would become scholars ourselves. But because we're not that knowledgable, we turn to the scholars who have that knowledge so that they can help us by giving us the proofs and evidences.


So yes - we respect these scholars because they inherit the knowledge off the true Prophets of Allaah.
