Demand answers and references

"If you’re not in the field of scholarship, you MUST demand answers and references. It is YOUR Deen. Don’t give it to anybody. In saying this, we’re not questioning the integrity of the people [being the scholars], but we’re questioning the references and the depth of knowledge. Among the signs of the Day of Judgment, Al Nabi salla Allah alayhi wa alihi wa sallam says as Imam Ahmad narrates in his Musnad with a Saheeh sanad that that there will be a time when El Rawaibeda speaks. The Sahaba asked who is El Rowaibeda ya Rasul Allah (salla Allah alayhi wa alihi sallam)? He said the one who is ignorant but seeks to address the masses. ‘Ta’aluq’ (or attachment) to Rasul Allah (salla Allah alayhi wa alihi sallam) is not based on jahl. It’s not based on stories. It’s not based on fairytales. It’s not based on dreams and illusions and delusions. It is based on ilm of Kitab Allah first." Sayyidi Shaykh Dr. Muhammad bin Yahya al Husayni al Ninowy
