We say we believe in the Holy Qu'ran and yet we disobey the Commands of Allah swt as stipulated in the Qur'an. And a few had indicated that they will protest on certain fatwa because it does not suit their desires or practices which they like or enjoy.How much knowledge on Islam do we normal muslims/muslimahs have as compared to our ulama? Let us leave certain issues to subject matter experts.There is no democracy in knowledge.
Let's ponder on the following ayats.Let's not be arrogant based on our ignorance and engaged ourselves in takwil al-jahilun(the discourse of the ignorants)!
From Surah Al-Jaathiyah:
[8] He hears the Signs of
Allah rehearsed to him, yet is obstinate and lofty, as if he had not
heard them: then announce to him a Penalty Grievous! [9] And when he learns something of Our Signs, he takes them in jest: for such there will be a humiliating Penalty. [10]
In front of them is Hell: and of no profit to them is anything they may
have earned, nor any protectors they may have taken to themselves
besides Allah: for them is a tremendous Penalty. [11] This is (true) Guidance: and for those who reject the Signs of their Lord, is a grievous Penalty of abomination.
Malay translation:
[8] Yang mendengar ayat-ayat penerangan Allah sentiasa dibacakan kepadanya, kemudian dia terus berlagak sombong (enggan menerimanya), seolah-olah dia tidak mendengarnya; oleh itu gembirakanlah dia dengan azab seksa yang tidak terperi sakitnya. [9] Dan apabila sampai ke pengetahuannya sesuatu dari ayat-ayat penerangan Kami, dia menjadikannya ejek-ejekan; mereka yang demikian keadaannya, akan beroleh azab yang menghina. [10] Di hadapan mereka (di akhirat kelak) ada Neraka Jahanam (yang disediakan untuk mereka) dan apa jua yang mereka usahakan, tidak dapat menyelamatkan mereka sedikit pun; demikian juga yang mereka sembah atau puja selain Allah, tidak dapat memberikan sebarang perlindungan dan (kesudahannya) mereka akan beroleh azab seksa yang besar. [11] Al-Quran ini ialah hidayat petunjuk yang cukup lengkap dan orang-orang yang kufur ingkar akan ayat-ayat penerangan Tuhannya, mereka akan beroleh azab dari jenis azab seksa yang tidak terperi sakitnya.
