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 />
