Re: Maslak to be adopted
There is a big difference between understanding Islam and misleading people with the wrong teachings of Islam (ie: rejecting hadith.)
Khanbaba is right when he says if you want to learn Islam go to the teachers, scholars, alims..etc
Imran, like you say "mazhabhi paishwayaat ka zamana khataam hoo raha hai" this is the whole point, like Khanbaba says, people will start putting a distance between themselves and the scholars. SubhanAllah.
People judge the Ulemas of this world just by generalizing the Pak-Indo scholars. Me, living in the west, I appreciate the sacrifices the scholars make to bring Islam to us. I watch QTV, Mufti Akmal, alaways he has beautiful words to share, mashAllah, there should be more scholars like him in Pakistan who should stand up and put the record straight.
Dr. Zakir Naik, is a wahabi/salafi, that is why he has support from Saudi Arabia where the government is wahabi. He is an excellent scholar when we talk about comparative religion but he's no scholar when it comes to Fiqh issues because he does not follow an Imam. But, if you listen to his talks he has made it clear, he has nothing against people who follow Imams. (i don't read urdu, so i didn't read what u posted) MashAllah his dawah work is amazing.
There is nothing wrong in learning Islam on your own but the books you read to understand Islam is not just the Quran, you need books written by the Ulema.
