How Can I Find Solution to Religious Needs Without Having Access to On the Ground Scholars? – Mawlana Ilyas Patel
Answered by Mawlana Ilyas Patel
Question
I’m 18. I have for long time been very confused since turning my life around for Allah and trying to learn the deen, but it’s very hard without access or knowing local scholars. I am based in Denmark, and it could be awesome if seekers new scholars or members of the institution are also living in Denmark. I hope I will get some help or advice. It could be so awesome if there actually were somebody in Denmark that could help with religious needs.
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate
I pray you are in good faith and health. Thank you for your question. Jazak Allah for duas and connection with the din. Allah Most High, keep you steadfast upon it and make you a means to spread good in your society.
I am unaware of any scholars or members in Denmark who work for the organization. However, study online with SeekersGuidance and enroll in a program, then book an online appointment with a qualified scholar for mentorship, guidance, and consultation on Your Islamic Studies with SeekersGuidance courses.
This is a good way to keep connected for now. Allah Most High open up doors for on-the-ground scholars for you in the near future, in sha Allah.
I would like you to go through the valuable answers and links below. You will receive guidance and direction in sha Allah.
