Khomeini on Woman and Her Periods

They won't say they're bs if they're from a "profound scholar." It is sad to know today, Islam does not take Allah as their God but rather their scholars. Their religion is ENTIRELY dependant on scholarly opinion. That is who all the traditional muslims turn to for guidance. Unfortunately, even if they take the Quran + Hadith, they can't practice their religion without the consensus of the scholars (their gods) because ANYONE can take Quran + hadith in the context they desire (in fact if you take the hadith, your religion can be so damn easy it wouldn't even be right to call yourself religious. For example, imagine someone taking the hadith "saying subhannallah 2500 times forgives 2500 sins" in the context they like. Oh boy. laugh). Scholars are their gods on Earth. Now, I'm not saying anyone who listens to the advice of a scholar or follows the hadith is an idol-worshipper. I've always held the opinion that God looks into your heart, and sees who you were really worshipping. If you think Quran advocated the Sunna, good for you. God doesn't trick, and I don't think he's tricking me when I read "what other source besides God's revelation do you believe in" among many other verses with the label "Quran alone".

Maybe people just like to follow like sheep, saves them the trouble of thinking!

364 Say "O People of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you That we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah."
