Critical Thoughts

I am getting some kicks and literally rolling on the floor laughing when I saw the acronym definition for MENJ. I really do not know how this happened, nor did I play any part in having this definition written, but I am humbled…truly humbled.

But in no way does this mean that I ever considered myself as an “Islamic scholar”. Even if I do achieve that Islamic Studies degree one day (which I am keen on doing later in life, insha’allah!), I will never regard myself as a “scholar”. Because I believe in the Islamic principle that everyone is in a perpetual state of learning and therefore, I would rather be known as a “student of Islamics and Comparative Religion”, rather than “scholar”.
