Ah ! Liberate musbe didnt wake up yet, or he went off to work, or he is writting a novel rebuttle.
It was late last night and I wanted to finish the post but mey eye were caving in on me so I just didnt care and just hit send so I could go to bed .
I will finish up later on the reason why I do not accept Ibn Kathir's interpretation of that verse. And again Liberate scholars do not dictate Islam, they are merely men who are contributing with the best of their knowledge, which is their opinions. You obviously forgot the meaning of the word TAFSIR, it is a commentary of opinion of someones interpretation.
We do not consider them (Scholars) to be infalible in their knowledge, they are subject to error just like any other human being. We have a choice to agree or to disagree with a scholar as long as we have grounds to do so in which I will explain in my next post.
