Is this shirk to you?

[clad]

The ulema acquire knowledge after many many years of studying the classical Arabic language in depth, the Quran in depth, at least 6 hadith books, history, law everything within context. Not anyone can give out rulings and interpretations on the Quran. Anyway, that's a different topic.

All I am asking here, if someone comes up to us, be they the most pious person in this world and they say that their WORD is the WORD of God. Is that shirk or not? Simple question.

Agree with you maulana first learn arabic , then master quranic arabic ,then fiqah ,then researches of more then 10 different tafseers , then ahadiths,then 6 more subjects before becoming complete aalim and it takes 11 years to become complete aalim
BUT

maulana word can never be even close Allah , In fact it is rubbish and stupid to even think that..
how ever If we need to know how to perform HAJJ OR UMRAH we have to go to maulana and ask him how to do it.
but alhamdulilah we are all sane and can use brains so do use brain when asking any thing from maulana coz like every thing in this world every thing is corrupted..

Re: Is this shirk to you?

When Muftis give fatwaa, that fatwaa may not be the direct wordings of quran (although the ruling is an interpretation of Quran and sunnah) then the fatwa becomes shariah. Shariah is nothing but order of Allah. If you look at the words of OP through this explanation then what he is saying may not be very far from the truth.

TLK !!!!

I am not anti mulla !!!!

but to be honest it is a bit difficult now a days as I mentioned every thing is corrupt and you can buy a fatwa aswell so it is very important to respect and listen to mullas but we have to use common sense as well when listening to them
if some maulana asks me not to read Quran because its very difficult I will never listen to him because if I read Quran there is a good chance that I might not need to get fatwa !!!
