This audio is brought to you some notes and pay attention. It's something that is not true typical spirituality.

We have an electricity year, a steam engineer,

or we have the Google era, the Internet era.

You can say there are certain trends that are common in every single era.

And if you look at our 14 centuries of Islamic history,

this is one categorization scheme and others are to give their categorization

an era where the prophet was alive and as long as the Rasoolah

of Allah is alive you cannot have any difference of it. You cannot have any two opinions

about the same issue. You will take it back to him. He will tell you exactly what needs to

be done. In other words there is an ultimate point to reference and that is the Prophet Muhammad
