    My question is why we need religious scholars? I mean why Allah didn’t clarify the difficult aspects of Quran and what is the role of religious scholars in clarifying the meaning behind Quran?

    The world is created for the sake of test. The first test is the test of knowledge and understanding.

    The most necessary fundamentals of religion are very simple. Everyone can understand them whether they are about faith or worship rituals or some other good deed.

    However, since religion addresses thought and every sphere of life, things get complex, for which we need special knowledge to resolve them, like any other discipline of knowledge where experts make things clear to us and we decide whose opinion to choose.

    But still only a person addresses us and tells us all the things, which then includes his own philosophy, and man as a human being adds some things with his intellect to the whole case by which he proves the validity of his religious case. Or sometimes he writes whole books to strengthen the religious beliefs which he himself writes according to what he thinks is right.

      Right. This is the test to reach the right conclusion according to one’s capacity .

      But then this could not be considered as the word of God, this is also just a man saying and man like there are other sciences in the world in which he makes mistakes and we remain satisfied because we know that how human works. But here the case should be different because the message of God should not be modified. A kind of modification I mean why God need a person to clarify different things about his message not by himself.

    The message of God is self sufficient in explaining the basic facts of Iman. Then comes the technicalities. Here it works like a science. God involves man in His revealing His message to people. This is a an honour.

    Secondly the scheme of the test is comprehensive. It includes the test of one’s sincerity in the face of different temptations while understanding and interpreting the message of God.

    This quality doesn’t not disqualify it to be divine. It divinity is proven with the facts we see the experience. Its flawlessness, its challenges, its predictions which came from a person who had no education, all prove it to be divine.

      It seems to be Quran that is only for those people whom questions it’s divinity. How a layman can see it as a divine book. Because a general observation indicates us that a lot of people even don’t bother to think that why it is a divine book but still they found it really a guidance book or a divine one moreover if it’s the fault of people still a layman will not bother so much to get guidance or to make sure Quran as divine book.

    There is more than one way to confirm that the Quran is a book from God. Even a layman can know it. I hinted it in the message above. These proofs belong to historical truth predicted by the Quran. When a layman bothers to judge the divinity of the Quran he should get ready to learn some facts to make an educated decision.
