[quote]Same numbering is being used to refer to the points identified in previous posts by you and me:

1) Thank you fo agreeing that it can err. As I said lets find common terms, although it remains debatable whether new initiative would "[red]certainly[/red]" carry more errors or not.

2) I have fully understood the meaning of the metaphor. The writer basically says that Quran & Sunnah are stars and the Madhabs are precision instruments used to view them. There are two assumptions in this: a) Quran & Sunnah are as distant and unclear to us as the stars and b) The precision instrument (i.e. Telescope/Madhab or scholar) will show the object (i.e. stars/Quran&Sunnah) as it is in actuality. a) is against Quranic assertion that it is a clear book and b) is drawing a similarity between telescope and scholar, as I explained both are very different.

3) Even when Quran is calling for constant "pondering", and the Prophet (sws) is asking not to make your scholars your Lords (rubb)?

4) if he does not decide on his own, then who decides for him? what if the scholar is unconvincing? will his judgement still be followed unconditionally?[/quote]
