Should a Muslim follow a Particular Madhhab?
This book mainly deals with the main principle of Taqleed. The author emphasizes that the Allah and Prophet Muhammad (SAW) have not commanded us to follow any opinions and interpretations. There are many issues on which the Imams had different view points and they have explained them in accordance with their own reasons and speculations and possibilities. Hence, there is always a possibility of them being correct or incorrect in their opinions. The real and true Islam, however, is based on the book (Quran) and Prophet's Sunnah.
Allah says: "But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith until they make you judge in all disputed matters between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decision, and accept them with full submission." And prophet said: "I leave you with two things as long as you hold them tightly, you never go astray: they are the Book of Allah and my Sunnah." In the light of this, the author has tried to throw light on the difference between different Madhahib (madhabs/mazhabs), and their views, and has recommended the user to follow only the Quran and the Sunnah.
