Which Scholars Do We Look Up To?
![]()
This list contains the names of living scholars whose training, qualifications, public lifestyles and methodologies we are most impressed with as far as knowledge of the Deen of Islam is concerned. In the end only Allah sees into the hearts.
This list is not intended to be an endorsement of anyone or any sectarian leaning. It also is not a listing of every honored scholar. It is a list of people that members of our foundation have personally met or heard speak and in whom we feel a certain measure of confidence. As we meet others and listen to their words and observe their deeds, we will add them to this list. We will never just add a name for the sake of adding it. We must meet them first for as Islam teaches us, we must make certain of things for ourselves. Before following the teachings of anyone of the following personalities, we would advise you to meet them first also. Remember though that all final confidence must be in Allah and in His Messenger. Allah knows best.
