Dr. said. Ibrahim Al-Hodhud, scientific advisor to the International Organization of Al-Azhar Graduates, former president of Al-Azhar University, said that there are those who think that adhering to the apparent meaning of the texts is merely an increase in piety and following, and sees the error of those who disagree with him, believes that he is an innovator, and believes himself to be more of a follower of the Prophet and more keen on the Sunnah than others. Contrary to it, and this is a big mistake, which led to the emergence of extremist extremist groups, which declare everyone who disagrees with them to be infidels.
The scientific advisor to the organization stressed that the diligent person must know the reason that motivates the ruling, and this necessitates the necessity of possessing the tools of science, in order to be able to The correct understanding of religion, explaining that one of the reasons for promoting misconceptions is the presence of those who lack knowledge of these sciences, and take the apparent meanings of the texts, and make them contrary to their meaning, so these people began to innovate and deem others to be unbelievers, claiming to adhere to the Qur’an and Sunnah.
