ADVICE

Choose Teachers Wisely

  • Understand your teacher's methodology and paradigm before choosing whom to follow in your religious studies.
  • Make a personal minor ijtihad to decide whose religious interpretation you will emulate.
INSIGHT

All Mainstream Strands Valid

  • Multiple mainstream Islamic strands are valid and pass the bar of salvation despite minor differences.
  • Spending time arguing over slight jurisprudential or theological differences detracts from life’s higher purposes.
ADVICE

Flexibility in Gender Barriers

  • Enacting physical barriers or gender segregation in communities is allowable but not mandated by Islam.
  • Avoid importing extreme segregationist rulings from other cultures without understanding local context.
