I think you have the SAME believe in Quran as i have.
I believe Quran has ALL knowledge. If a person LIKE Prophet or Imam understand the whole Quran. It means he have All knowledge. not only religious. It has every thing like physis, chemistry, history etc etc but me and you cant understand it. Yes Imam can understand. and get the required information from Quran.
Question; What do you think; do your imam still need to goto a university or a college for education, when he already have knowledge of quran naturally. I dont think so. ?
ANSWER: well, the imam needs to go to a university to learn other things like current world affairs, geography, languages n other subjects.. n plus i don't think the entire islamic history is in the Holy Quran... so he can learn all that too rite.. Holy Prophet S.A.W has told us to get as much knowledge as possible... do u agree??
