Not everyone who appears on television or radio is a scholar from whom the religion is acquired from.
Not everyone who speaks about the religion is from the scholars.
The balance of judgment is the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Messenger ļ·ŗ upon the understanding of the Pious Predecessors.
The scholar is the one whom the general and specific ones know because he doesn't enlighten the people regarding the religion of Allah from his own opinion or from hearsay.
Rather, he narrates from the Qur'an and the Sunnah upon the understanding of the Pious Predecessors, successors and those who came after them from the blessed generations.
Anyone who follows their way is upon the pure Sunnah.
The scholar who is ‘Rabbani’ (learned men of religion who practice what they know and also teach others) is the one who is known for steadfastness upon knowledge, known for being honourable, upright upon the Sunnah and known to be upon the correct belief and methodology.
He will quote what Allah and the Messenger ļ·ŗ said and what the predecessors have said.
