"The Lunar Missive: A Call to Reflection
"The wounds inflicted upon the Ummah are not the result of external forces, but rather the consequence of our own scholars and leaders, who, in their pursuit of knowledge and power, have forgotten the sacred duty to uphold the truth. As Imam al-Shafi'i so eloquently stated, 'The pursuit of knowledge is a sacred duty, for it is through knowledge that we may discern the truth, and thereby align ourselves with the divine will.' Let us not forget that the truth is not to be found in the opinions of men, but rather in the divine revelation. It is our duty to scrutinise our understanding with the utmost care, and to seek guidance from the Quran and the Hadith, rather than relying solely on human opinion or conjecture."
