Many people lose sight of the spiritual goal behind adopting a particular opinion – it is not to win debates or collect followers, but rather to bring one’s heart closer to Allah. Shaykh Tahir Wyatt discusses the most important advice when approaching matters that are subject to differences of opinion.
Senior Fellow | Tahir Wyatt is a published academic, experienced interpreter, and instructor of Islamic studies and comparative religion. During his twenty-one years of studying and teaching in Saudi Arabia, he procured several degrees, including a doctorate in theology.
