Yes we have many. The thing is that they are great speakers and can attract the common man like you and me with their hi fi lingo and terminology and quotations from Qur’an and hadeeth and have some degrees but are by no means qualified to “educate” people. In fact may of us have learned wrong things…
So without getting into a major bashing debate, can you all shed some light on how we can as a community distinguish between what is the “right” source and add to our deeni knowledge?
Thanks.
Re: The self claimed religious scholars of today
1st u need to go for basics believe over Allah (Yaqeen ) ... if ve go step by step then only we can learn
2nd is Zikr of Allah ... thn Allah will help u to understand the right n rong mean to say is pros n cons of som amal will automatically b crystal clear to u
then dausss ... we need to learn suba or shaaam ki duaian .. these prayers matter alot ...but we didnt take them seriously ...
Re: The self claimed religious scholars of today
To begin with....asking this question on a public forum where is home to all kinds of people like, was not the best of moves. You're going to have everyone...from the athiests to orthodox muslims replying. How will you able to filter out the good advice from the bad?
The answer is clear...the guidance is in the Quran. Use it to filter out all those scholars/groups/sects/idealogies that are unislamic. Remember not to get deceived by the shaytaan in this process.
And make lots of dua, for Allah has promised guidance to those who truely seek it.
Re: The self claimed religious scholars of today
Hmm, I agree uncle. Perhaps I shouldn't have started this thread. But let's see what kind of comments we get. Thanks.
Re: The self claimed religious scholars of today

Re: The self claimed religious scholars of today
Just read their bio and if they haven't studied with the Shayukh and haven't got any ijazah(permission) from them then they aren't the traditional Islamic scholars.

You are right , quran to understand in view of Ahadith/Holy Phrophet Life.

Like as a Muslim it is compulsory for us to Pray Five times a day.
What is Prayers in Fact? ,
It is Dua as you have pointed to ........
Like The Compulsory Part in Every Rakath that is from Alhamdu lillah till ZWALIN ........... if we will read this In every Prayers with concentration and keeping in Mind its meanings, we will do find the right path.
But , but , but all the common Muslims agree and all the scholars of the world tell you that it is impossible and dangerous to try to understand Quran on your own. They say You need someone to teach you to guide you about what is in Quran.
Many go to the extent that it is impossible to translate Quran in any other language.
i
So Moulana Moududi , Dr. Israr Ahmend , Dr. Farhat Hashmi , Dr. Bilal Philip , Gary Miller and many , many more scholars of this day and age are all imposers as per your definition ? 
I do not follow their teachings if they contradict with the traditional schools and nor should other Sunni muslims.
Re: The self claimed religious scholars of today
Niksi, it's simple really download Quran translation (in whatever language you best understand) in MP3 format and listen to it.
Re: The self claimed religious scholars of today
^Which translation do you recommend?
