Guess who are the strongest advocates of the weird idea "individuals can never understand Islam by reading Kuran themselves, alone; Imams are absolutely necessary to borrow your Kuran and then tell you what it says"".
Can somebody explain to me then, why Islam does not have clergy like in Christianity or Judaism ?
After Ãslam start to be stronger and to be more accurate during The Treaty of Hudaybiyya Rasul SAVgot the chance to teach others Ãslam, and to do so he sent them Ãmams to teach it to them...note that many of those people also were Arabs, and they were living at same time too, so they should had understood the circumstances of each aya verses better than us , no ?!
But Still, Rasul SAV sent them imams to teach them so he be sure that he delivered what he has been taught correctly, and understood same way by anyone no matter how far or near he might be.
So you have objections that we learn about our religion from imams now ? And we are many years past Rasul SAV time and not living same circumstances ?
How would we understood about Al Mucadala Sura and understood the story of that woman who was arguing Rasul SAV if imams didnt explain ?
How would we understood El Tawba Sura and what did it mean and in which circumstances ALLAH sent it ?!
Sure you would understood what you read, you would understood the rules, but would you understood what is behinde it or the background of it unless you have been told ?!
You are not so proud to learn math and science from a math and science teachers, but you proud to learn religion from Ãmams ?!
We dont have clergy like in Christianity or Judaism, we have imams, and thats different, imams dont control our lives telling us what to do and what not to do, they dont have power over us, we have our rules from Qur´an and Sunna
Part of imams job to be like teachers, deliver the informations in a simple way.
Some of them hadith imams search hadiths if they are good or made...some do measures..things now are different than the past we would want to find what would religion say in somethings
Like when they said heroin is haram ´forbidden´ same like alcohol..there was no heroin at Rasul SAV time..so imams made measures for that and agreed on it.
And so on, as you know Ãslam has many section of religious science
But at all, everything imams say must be supported by the evidence from Quran and sunna so they would be accepted, if they dont offer such evidence what they say would mean anything at all.
And they must publish their evidence along with what they say for us regular people to think about, compare and accept what they say.
And we are ordered in matters like that to search opinions of many imams and not just one and take the openion that the majority of them acknowledge , if they are different in matter...of course not basic one, all basics already covered up then we judge by ourselves which one of what they say is closer to our faith.
And that is what abudy said here
don´t you believe in Multi-denominational , it is good thing when it comes in Matters of fiqh ( islamic jurisprudence ) , there are four famus fiqh school in islam , hanafi - maliki , shafi´i , hanbali .
but all these schools concurrent about 2 points :
1. the Sources of legislation are qur´an , sunna ,scholarly consensus , and analogy.
2. Fundamentals of Religion - or matters of faith- are (one and only)
But im sure you know all that.
So How come that we would have clergy like in Christianity or Judaism ?!

) but what if I can still not believe? Maybe I will stop saying that I am against it, maybe I will understand more and respect more. But maybe I will never believe. Than what is waiting for me? Hell? Burning fire? Because I was a good person but just couldn´t believe? Does that make you a better person in Allahs eyes than me even though what I do is only HUMAN, and after all that is how god made us, as humans?
