This post is dedicated to those who preserve our religion, and there is only one class in society who does so. And they are the muhaddithun, the fuquha, the mutakallimun, the mufassirun and the nahwiyyun. They are the scholars of Islam, whatever their knowledge of expertise may be. They are the living chain that brings us back to the religion our Prophet, peace be upon him, taught.

hadith about qiyamat scholars die
Unfortunately we live in a time of knowledge, but also of ignorance and pride. There are those who wish to discredit our scholars - in one way or another, accusing them of corrupting the religion from it's "true" meaning. Our scholars' works are not important they say, I only need to refer to the Qur'an myself. Yet they merely deceived by their own selves. Every attempt at interpreting the Qur'an and hadith are human attempts, prone to mistakes, and not infallible. Yes, this is true for even the scholars. But it is even true for themselves! So who's opinion will be more valid: a scholar's or a layman's!?
