Context: More Safe, and much more modest 'tis, to say
God wou'd not leave Mankind without a way:
And that the Scriptures, though not every where
Free from Corruption, or intire, or clear,
Are uncorrupt, sufficient, clear, intire,
In all things which our needfull Faith require.
If others in the same Glass better see
'Tis for Themselves they look, but not for me:
For my Salvation must its Doom receive
Not from what others, but what I believe.
Wahiduddin Khan (1925) Islamic Scholar
quoted in Arun Shourie - The World of Fatwas Or The Sharia in Action (2012, Harper Collins)
