@rezaaslan @minutebol @CKDagli Not really Reza. That's termed an autodidact & is a major reason for extremism in the Ummah.
One can seek knowledge with whomever one likes but in the end individual is best & sole arbiter of spiritual truthhttps://twitter.com/minutebol/status/632602560721883137 …

@rezaaslan@minutebol Practically it means on judgement day you are on your own for what you have chosen. No intercessor, no excuses. -
@N0rthernJudy@rezaaslan Not exactly! The Quran specifically suggests the authorization to intercede for those whom He allows to. -
@minutebol@rezaaslan Reference? -
@N0rthernJudy@rezaaslan 2:255, 10:3, 19:85-87, S. 21:25-29, S. 34:23, S. 40:7-9, along with many other hadiths. -
@minutebol@rezaaslan 82:19 ... the Day when a soul will not possess for another soul [power to do] a thing -
@N0rthernJudy@rezaaslan S21.25-29 fits in with hadith that assign to prophets power of intercession on day of judgement -
@minutebol@rezaaslan Hadiths say all sorts of things. But 19:87 I shall have to think about. -
@N0rthernJudy@rezaaslan True, their value is to shine light into Quranic shadows. Unavoidable, necessary, as sole record of sunnah. - 9 more replies

@rezaaslan@minutebol@CKDagli and the only acceptable enforcer of doctrine. -
@LGeater@rezaaslan@CKDagli There is really ONE single spiritual truth, and that''s the Prophets'. Ours is to seek to approximate it. -
@minutebol@rezaaslan@CKDagli Yes, each according to his own conscience. -
@LGeater@rezaaslan@CKDagli Fair, BUT also accordng to a structure. W/out that structure,Quranic &/or sunnah, there isno Islam,no direction

@rezaaslan What needs remembering: no Islam w/out Prophetic message & example. Otherwise, akin to debating constitution w/out its framers.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
