Do we need scholars?
Something I read from another forum:
Another flaw of Islam. You seem to need a couple of PhDs from an Islamic university in Saudi Arabia and the title of 'scholar' to make any informed decision on anything. Otherwise, continue to follow the crowd and be a sheep and follow everything some sheikh thousands of miles away with no grip on reality says.
It's especially ironic from a religion that claims to be for all mankind. LOL. You mean, it's only for the educated scholars who have the 'authority' to interpret stuff. Everyone else should keep their mouths shut and obey sheikh.
I know people say that we can interpret stuff for ourselves but we still need the education otherwise we might interpret it wrong, so really anyone can't think for themselves and it isn't accessible to everyone? Hence the need of Shaykhs, madhabs, etc?
(Actually, yesterday I was thinking about salafis and how they dont believe in madhabs and that it can kinda dangerous to kinda interpret things yourself etc?)
Ok, so what do you think about this? How would you respond to the quoted bit?

Recipes please!
Cooking is a vital life skill that I do not possess (like many others, I won't lie ๐ )
This summer I intend to learn to cook although that might be hard with ramadhan (like you cant taste stuff and make sure it's 'right') but I have to start!
Can you please give me any personal favourites/easy/other reasoned recommendations?
Starters, Mains, desserts anything!
Edit - Nothing too bland though :/
(Although I do know how to make some stuff but lets see what you guys come out with... plus I want to do it without asking my mum for help 8) )
That's all, thanks. ๐

Eating Habits!
Assalamualaykum Dudes and Dudettes!
So, the other day my friend was eating crisps. WITH HER LEFT HAND!!! Its been drilled into me,(curtesy of my parents)ever since day one to eat with me right hand. So naturally when seeing my muslim friend eating with her left i reacted in a way that is expected of me
(haha-tugged the crisp out of her hand and screamed excessively... :D)
Anyways, after explaining to her that it is sunnah to eat with the right hand , she vowed to never eat with her left again as she wanted to implement the sunnah... BUT it got me thinking though... in this "western" culture, eating with the "wrong" hand is the norm. At resturants, knives are laid on the right and forks on the left. (I got frowned at once when i swapped them around) So how do we raise awareness of the sunnah?
The basics of islamic manners are forgot when you see that big yummy plateful of food.I know for one that i sometimes forget to say my Bismillahs and Alhamdulilahs at the start and end of a meal...

Are You A Fit Muslim?
Assalamu alaikum,
Our bodies are a trust given to us by Allah doesn't that mean we should nourish our body and soul? So is eating a balanced meal and exercising something that should be important in a muslim individuals life?
Apparently asians in the uk are twice as likely to get diabetes or heart disease than the rest of the population.
How fit are you do you eat a balanced meal, and what if anything does the Quran and sunnah say about exercise and healthy eating?
I dont mind sharing that i am eating rabbit food and working out it is torture, but exercise is addictive after a while.
