Sorry if i missed yur post. But i don't see how you have answered my question.
1- How can i meet or get knowledge from present Imam. 2- I thought the purpose of having an Imam at all times was to get direct guidance. If i still have to read Quran, Hadith,Tareekh and seerat, then it can be done without Imam also. 3- Plz be specific, in how the two groups differ in terms of Islam.
Salaam Iconoclast,
I will pm you soon, Insha Allah. Wasalam
