[quote]Dear Brother,

Given your response, then the concern of Asif Iftikhar becomes evident which is:

What is the qualitative difference between ilqa and wahi? if the certitude assigned to Ilqa is the same as that assigned to wahi?

Secondly, if Ilqa is as not as certain as a Wahi is, then how is it possible that its source is Divine? - Can a Divine source be right and wrong alternatively?

Thirdly, if Ilqa is as certain as Wahi, then what difference remains between a Prophet and a Wali?

Fourthly, please elaborate on the words of the Hadith, I dont quite understand, because if it is "what I like it is from Allah" - so anything that I like (I may not be a very pious person) becomes part of my religion, because it is from Allah? Can religion be defined like that?

Fifthly, if two persons claim to have different (contradictory) 'ilqa' on the same issue, whose would be from Allah and whose would be not? If apparently one is as pious as the other?

Lastly, how can something other than Quran and Sunnah claim to be of divine origin, because in that case you are introducing a thrid source of religious knowledge? Let me explain, for example, what if the scholars of this website claim that they have developed their religious views based on ilqa (I am not saying they do, but what if) - Wouldnt all of the criticism on them become unvalid? As they would have legitimized it through ilqa? - I hope you have understood in principal what I am asking?

These are some questions that come to my mind.
