While revising and learning our religion is most important for all of us. We just need to be careful from whom we are taking our knowledge. In general, we should ask ourselves?1. How did this person get his knowledge?? Did he or she get the knowledge from the ‘mouths’ of the scholars or just by reading books and surfing the net?? 2. Does this person have a ‘Sanad’ for the knowledge he is giving us. In other words, who did he learn from? Did this person learn from those who have the continuos chain of knowledge back to the scholars and our prophet peace be upon him? 3. Does this person truly fear Allah? Is she / he concerned about himself and me? Would he speak without knowledge? Has this person ever said something against the scholarly consensus, the hadith or the Quran?? Lets remember what Ibn Sirin said: ‘This knowledge is religion so watch from whom you take your knowledge from”. Brothers and sisters, while religious discussions with ‘reliable’ sources is valuable we need to ask the above questions to ourselves and simply think through before we utter or type in this case. Remember the Hadith of our prophet: ‘ A person may utter a word that he thinks harmless, which results in his falling the depth of 70 years into hellfire’.
