Re: Dr. Zakir Naik
your choice of school of thought to follow is exactly a pick and choose…since following a school a thought was not ordered by God or his prophet… you can not pick and choose with the authentic sources i.e Quranic text and authentic hadith…
Well…whats wrong if someone goes to authentic source of the religion itself..the Quran and Hadith…and if he doesn’t get it…then read other opinions…and whichever touches his heart…follows that???
I am all for proper educated and learned scholars’ opinion…but i am much more comfortable with someone who quotes quran and hadith rather than the books of their elders…sorry i can’t put blind faith in ‘forefathers’ without seeing some basis for their opinion…
P.S… i am not blindly supporting zakir naik either…i have some reservations about what things he says…but atleast give the man credit for quoting from the quran and hadith directly.
