2	36	Guidance on some verses of the Quran God introduces, in the verse 46 of Surah Al-Baqarah, the humble individuals as those who have conjecture on meeting their God and returning to Him. Whereas, according to the saying of his Excellency, achieving certainty in religion is obligatory, and according to the verses that are mentioned repeatedly in the book, conjecture has no place in Islam. Please explain how these two come together?	2015-12-14
1	16	Obligation of acquiring knowledge (ijtihad) and its method In the book Return to Islam, His Eminence Mansoor has said that ijtihad is obligatory for every Muslim. However, every human being has a unique aspiration and talent. Some have an aspiration and talent for medicine, some for engineering, and some for other fields. Therefore, they cannot practice ijtihad in religion. What should one who does not have an aspiration and talent for practicing ijtihad do? Is it not permissible for him to imitate one of the mujtahids?	2015-02-22
