The True Meaning of<br />

v/s the false<br />

understanding<br />

of the<br />

It must be understood that the vast majority of the<br />

beliefs and practices that are an essential part of a<br />

Muslim's life are clearly stated in the Qur'aan and the<br />

Sunnah and are agreed upon <strong>by</strong> consensus since the<br />

early generations of Muslims. These established<br />

beliefs and practices are not open to change or<br />

reinterpretation.<br />

In a small minority of finer issues where<br />

there is no direct reference in the texts, qualified<br />

Islamic scholars derive the ruling <strong>by</strong> means of<br />

Ijtihaad (i.e., deliberating upon a ruling in light of the<br />

Qur'aan and the Sunnah). The 'progressives'<br />

however have taken 'Ijtihaad' as a panacea <strong>by</strong> which<br />

they seek to change what they wish from Islam at will<br />

even when those issues are plainly mentioned in the<br />

Book and the Sunnah.<br />
