Lately I've been coming across so many Muslims who are quick to comment or say something about Islam but they got no idea where the evidence for it is. Either they just heard the information from someone else or read it in 'some' book.
They are doing exactly what I used to do 10 years ago! Over the years, as I read more, attended halaqahs and listened to lectures, I realised how wrong I had been, to open my mouth so quick without having real knowledge.
It is important to understand the grading of Ahadith and how scholars judge between difference of opinions. When reading books make sure references are given. A sister gave me a book once and as I was reading I soon realised there were a lot of things which were not quite right. I then noticed it had no references whatsoever. It's quite scary to know that a person will take something as truth just because the author or speaker claims to be a scholar or a person of knowledge.
If we study the four madhabs, one thing you will notice is all of them advise us to, 'Turn to where we took', meaning the Qur'an and Sunnah. Maasha Allah, one of the amazing things about Islam is that we still have our scriptures, preserved and unchanged. We don't need to look far when we want to find something out. The Qur'an is our guide, if we want true knowledge, we already have it in our hand.
Love Islam - Live Islam focuses on conveying the true Islamic Message to Muslims and non-muslims. When you find out the true Islam you will love Islam and when you love Islam all you can do is live it, God willing.
