Critically appraise learning resources

Why critically appraising

resources?
Fiqh should be based on hadist. Therefore
good and trustable references are badly
needed. The appropriate concepts based
on shahih hadist are principles. Moslem
cannot do any religious activities like which
were not conducted by Rosulullah.
Otherwise, it can be considered as bidah.
Therefore, Islamic study on appraising
hadist is very important.

 Critical Thinking?
In what way Moslems do that. Does it
worth for Moslems? Why?
What did SyafiI do in facing cases?
Did he apply critical thinking?
How is so? Is it like the way we do?

Conclusion
Critical thinking and appraisal are highly tradition
of Moslems
We loss and forget this tradition in our life
nowadays
We sometimes forget that Islam regulates
attitudes of learning.
We also forget that Islam teaches long life
learning and love knowledge, will give prestigious
positions for those who has knowledge. This makes
us lazy to learn.
How about you?
