Every one who has a computer is a scholar.Well that would be very nice only if it was true.The computer can help you become a scholar,but I don't think every one who has a computer can be called one.How awesome children even can be called scholars.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm no sorry i have to disagree on that. Even scholars dont call them selves "Scholars" ... just beacuse we read things on the internet doesnt make us from those who understand and comprhend the concept, and esp on the internet where there can be misunderstandings and narration of weak or fabracated ahadith,
"One who teaches him self the Deen, Shaytaan becomes his teacher."
So its very important to have a teacher to teach you. if that was the case then why dont we all just read one certain subjects and become doctors and engineers?
There's Quraan and Hadith databases with awesome search functions. There's loads of Islamic fatwa websites. A lot of articles from Scholars unknown to many such Zakir Naik, Siraj Wahab etc.
Now, the Scholars.
How many people, who have not even studied Islam, use these sources and answers and debate with others using them?
I see things like your wrong, because Zakir Naik said this. It's all over on web forums. Loads of people, who like use things that Scholars may have said, which may have proof backing what they are saying within... but what makes it ok for you to dish the same thing when you are uneducated in the matter? No one walks into a court saying blah blah blah because they have an article or something written in a newspaper relating to the same case do we.
Oh, for those who don't see the sarcasm behind the term Scholars I'm using in this topic, I think it should now be pretty clear.
E.g. Someone asked about a hadeeth, now if we were all scholars, we should have been able to answer that, because as scholars, we should have studied it, so I went to ask a scholar about that hadeeth...
Ask yourselves would you stand on the pulpit and give a lecture off a article written by Zakir Naik when you yourself have no education and been taught the matter itself?
We may have some people who have been taught, but it seems like many read a few things, see that there's proof, and viola, you think your a Scholar in the matter of such and such an issue. How easy.
na3am thats what i thought u ment but i didnt think u were being sarcastic. Khair Inshallah
and yes tehre are ppl who do think this, they know it all now that they read a fatwa here and there. Allahul Musta'aan

Dude you dont need education to lecture off an article by Zakir Naik all you need is a sound understanding of it, Scholars are there TO educate us and we should pass it on to other people or use it in debates if we have a good and the right understanding of it.
P.S i dont like the sarcasm you wrote at the start of this topic
350z, I'm aware you were being sarcastic in the first post. However, sarcasm can be difficult to detect on the Internet, so don't be too hard on the people who took it seriously.
I'm not saying you have been hard on people, just a sort of warning.
