    There is nothing wrong with following Imam, as long as we can find out the daleel in Quran and hadith why the Imam says so.

    Following Imams blindly or we say it taqlid is wrong.

    But interpreting Quran without knowledge is also wrong. People should understand arabic before interpreting Quran, also have to know reason of revelation of the verses. Should know hadiths.

    Many people try to interpret Quran to fix with their desire.

    That's why following Imams is better choice for some people who is not knowledgeable and doesn't have pure heart like me.

    But I always try to ask and to know the process so fuqahas can decide something is halal or haram or mubah or makruh

    There are ignorants, lazy and illiterate people in every religion

    It take efforts to read and understand Quran specially for

    Non-Arabic speaking people. They have to read saveral books to learn basics and background of most surahs

    revealed in Quran. Allah has written some things in simple words, some needs thinking, and some need deep thinking and research. It has knowledge for every level of human intelligence and developed spirituality. To understand Quran most Muslims need a learned man to explain the Ayahs of Quran.

    Ayah means Signs (hints) because these have deep hidden meanings also which only scholars can understand. Explaining one Ayahs of two lines may take several pages for a knowledgeable to explain others.

    Quran is not a simple story book that every one can read the translation and understand. Most translators make errors in translating Quranic Ayahs because most Arabic wordls have several meanings. It depends on Scholar what he understood and what words of English he chooses to explain and different choice of words can be understood differently by most Muslims and non-Muslims.

    I agree!

    Muslims just think that these Imams stories(sometimes false, many times today) are equivalent to the Qur'an and Sunnah!

    May Allah curse the false Imams who misguide the Muslims to the wrong way

    I agree thoroughly with your view. Shi'ites and sunnis are differenciated specially by skill of their determination of management after the prophets (observed) dying. yet interior the tip, that exchange into all see you later in the past, and it makes no difference to the religion now. How does or no longer this is counted if Abu Bakr (RAA) or Ali (RAA) have been caliph after the prophet's dying? How can the management of 1400 years in the past nevertheless make an impact on desicions of leaders as we communicate? we prefer, and that i'm very extreme, prefer the two sects of islam to integrate and unify. What does or no longer this is counted if the praying stance of the husband isn't like the stance of the spouse? They the two can stay at the same time and function a happy existence. Islam facilitates muslims to marry christians and jews, and yet we hesitate to marry interior ourselves. Istagfarullah, i'm sometimes ashamed to call myself a muslim because of fact, on each and every occasion i tell somebody I truthfully have purely met that i'm a muslim, their first question is " are you a sunni or a shia?" Why and how can this make us different? the transformations of the previous must be forgotten, as is going with all political disputes. Politically, we are in jeapordy, yet spiritually, what's the adaptation? we are all muslims. all of us pray to Allah (the Almighty- All Merciful), and stick to the Holy Qur'an. purely like blacks and whites have transformations, all of them stay in team spirit (or can). They dont seem an analogous, yet spiritually they are an analogous. they are all human. properly spiritually, we are all muslim. My godfearing brothers and sisters, in case you fairly worry the wrath of Allah, and attempt to do properly in his eyes, you will see what fools you're being. Allah has given you no permission to kill or hate anybody of yet another faith, yet you kill and hate interior your guy or woman. The Prophet Muhammad (observed) informed us to admire different religions, and to stay in team spirit with them, yet you degrade, defoul, and blemish the history and how forward to your guy or woman... Please, open your eyes...and could the day come whilst all of us go previously the eyes of Allah as one... in suggestions and spirit alike...

    well I dont necessarily agree there... Im not saying what you view as wrong.. Maybe the news or people you meet seem to live like this, but in my area, or the people Im with, we are all reasonable rational folks that seem to question things in life and refer to the Quran to see how those things fit into the scheme of things..

    Im constantly myself refering to the Quran here and there and trying to find answers to my life.. I gain knowledge and find things daily that I didnt know.. its amazing to me..

    When you can answer that, the perhaps you can tell me why many Christians don't take a bible to church. People are people wherever and however they are found.

    Good luck! Sorry that I don't have a better answer. Just though you would like to know that this is a very old question in other worlds as well as yours.
