Is Dr. Farhad Shafti A Scholar
Please read his article that I mentioned in my post, it’s available online. Read his interpretation of the ayahs and then look up those ayahs in the Quran and read then in the context of there revelation. Then u can decide if the ayahs r verifying his claims He’s a smart gentleman and very well read. In my opinion, he has his own philosophy of how the world should be. There is nothing wrong in being a muqqallad. Don’t we become muqqallads of a doctor? Bad thing is that u believe that any scholar can never be wrong or his/her opinion should be the only opinion. For e.g. the argument Ghamid sahab uses as Arabi Mualla that Quran is in Arabic of quresh, he argued that the best source of that language is Jahili poetry. Interestingly, none of the poets of Saba Muallaqua or Ahra Muallaqa was from Quresh. Quresh was heavily involved in trade and travels so their Arabic wasn’t pure. Historians claim that Banu Tamim had the purest language. So there will be another opinion in almost every matter which also is based on sound basis. We have to decide what makes more sense to us and respect everyone else. Just food for thought
