"which has plagued many academic circles in recent times" If only it was restricted to these circles. I've had heated discussions with one or two young ulama only recently who believe the very same thing: that the current availability of informatiopn means latter day scholars are more knowledgable. The fact is, if all it took is an availability of information, who needs to go to darul uloom? The information that's abundantly available to scholars is also available to any Tom, Dick or Harry. So what makes a young alim any more knowledgable than anyone else? I mean, by their argument, all anyone has to do is learn Arabic from anywhere and then delve into the available information. But, I think we all know that's far from all it takes. it also leads us to question the thinking of some - a very few - of the young 'scholars' who seem to think they know it all.admin says:
