Lesson 14:
**Interpreting The **quran ****

1. Is the meaning of the quran so clear that anyone reading it, can readily understand it?

**The quranis by no means so easily understood: although allah said it is written in plain arabic so that all can understand.

1. Whom do we have to interpret the quran for us?

** Sheikh

1. Is it natural that we should have a guide in interpreting the quran?

**Quite natural,

1. So the sheikh cannot make mistakes in interpreting the quran?

**

**No, for he is under the guidance of allah. **

1. How does that guidance manifest itself?

Through Tradition, sheiks, and of learned men.

1. Do Shia acknowledge the interpretation of the Sunni or of any other authority?

No; Shia hold that anyone who reads the quran in the proper spirit will be guided by allah in interpretation.

1. Is the belief of Shia a sensible one?

No; it is against the quran, against Tradition, against reason.

1. How is it against reason?

Because the result of this belief has been that, as many interpretations exist as there are individual thinkers, and many of these interpretations contradict each other; since the allah cannot contradict Himself, He cannot be the guide of these interpretations, and therefore, this belief of these Shia is false.

For an independent truth seeking person,he is wrong for various reasons.
Did you realise the big flaw in his “logic” ?
