Does the majority of scholars holding a view make it right?

one right here should not matter to a true researcher and a even when it's coming from giants in the island it says even when it comes to understand that the way that our ummah is currently set up scholarship by and large consists of regurgitating and memorizing it does not consist of challenging it does not consist of being brave enough to break away from the paradigm frankly so so this is a belittling of the islamic tradition and if adeobandi has studied you know 10

15 20 years in his institute or an azhadi or a medina guy and then they dare break away from the standard narrative as you are aware that comes with a lot of baggage and a lot of tension it's very difficult to do that and my argument is very straightforward so what if a lot of people said something a moment ago below it the jar with a small biggidy himself was saying that how can these people disagree in the second coming of jesus when giants giants giants have said it

it is in every book have all the ummah gone astray then the other personality gets activated and yasar khadi sahib himself is speaking the unthinkable thing it doesn't make it right then ijma is a very important part it's one of the usual correct opinion is independent of the names of men and the quantity of the names of men and that is also a very

have said something that this is uh the truth uh the correct islamic position is x y or z doesn't matter how many people have said that or what major scholars have held that position if you're a true academic and a true researcher then it shouldn't matter to you and again this is something i want my students to do

you want people to be challenging majority opinion typically is based upon socio-political factors so a moment ago yes saying how could this become a majority opinion here khadi saab himself is explaining simple as that i'll just lay it out there wow i mean this is really extreme saying that the dominant position is based on social and political factors this is exactly what modernists say this is exactly what reformers say because dominant medhab the dominant that that is common in a time and place has nothing to do

with truth as it comes from allah it has to do more with the socio-political context with the kings and the rulers with the prime ministers with the institutes that they sponsor this is the reality you know the lesnar sponsored the karamiya for a period of time the entire region was the hamburglars were powerful in fourth century baghdad the seljuks came and they brought in and because of a particular instance which inshallah we will talk about it one day ashados became the dominant strand for many centuries it remained the dominant strand socio-political factors has nothing to do with the haqq being from allah subhanahu wa [Laughter] you know one could be deluded almost

into getting confidence to do their own research by listening to and if we can understand this for trends if we can understand this for fit up and movements we have to be brave enough to say individual opinions as well can be influenced by look you know if you're in an environment where 99 percent of your teachers are on one position and you're not challenged to think about that position here is explaining how can it be you know when he asks people like me uh another

modernist as he claims that how can it be that other people haven't challenged these views here himself he's explaining that look if the majority of your teachers were onto something you're not going to challenge it just naturally you will absorb that position and move on that's the way the world works there's nothing wrong with that right but the fact that 99 of your teachers say something doesn't mean it is the the correct truth it's just it's that school and they are talking about
