Where do you go?

Where do you go when you have any question about Islam (related to anything like history, fiqh, shari’ah, ibaadah, etc) ?

I don’t intend this to reflect your madhab, if any. I’m just wondering, do you consult the texts, ask your parents, a friend, a sheikh, sheikh google?

quran, hadeeth, parents, trusted elders, the imam at a masjid, reference books, friends, etc etc

Re: Where do you go?

for issues of fiqh shariah and ibaadah follow the advice of Fraudz...as they are the experts in this field and will guide you depending on which sect you belong to
but I can tell you from personal experience regarding history few scholars will tell you anything other than the "official version" of their respective sects....it isnt as simple as that

Re: Where do you go?

Stop saying "scholars". Cite specific scholars, but we darn well know that one person's scholar is another's idiot or government stooge.

For us Muslims, there is a grand tradition of scholars insulting and deriding each other...never mind us non-scholars.

Re: Where do you go?

Respect your scholars.

I go to the traditional sunni scholars. When I say traditional I mean real 4 fiqh scholars. Not the salafi/wahabi/shia kinds. :)

a)Ahsan ul fatawa by Mufti Rasheed Ahmed
b)Aap kay masail aur un ka hal by Moulana YOusaf Ludhyanvi.
c) Other collection of books by ulema like Moulana Taqi usmani , Mufti Zarwali etc.

If i need to understand few things i normally go to binori town or Ashraf ul madaris.

The Holy Prophet (saw) said when you find a problem, Chek Quran than Hadith if you dont find anything in Quran and Hadith use ur best judgemnt or consult a wize man.
You may also discuss it with a fellow muslim.

Re: Where do you go?

** [12:3]** We relate to you the best stories through what We have inspired to you in this Quran; and before it you were of those who were unaware.

Re: Where do you go?

Quran gives history of religions mainly and what happend in the past and learn from the past so you wont make the same mistake in the future.

Re: Where do you go?

SubhanAllah there is generally a pro-active attitude to responding to questions about Islam :)

But I'm afraid I don't quite follow what some of you mean by 'scholars'? How would you define a scholar of Islam? What qualification would you expect him/her to have to be considered a 'scholar'? How would you ascertain their credibility as a 'scholar'?

Re: Where do you go?

A scholar is someone who is well versed in religion. A scholar who do not go away from the teaching of Quran and Hadith.
