“Note: Islamic scholars have historically played an important role as leaders in Muslim societies and in explaining the Quran and the life and example of the prophet. Of themselves, however, they do not have the authority to forgive, or to define right or wrong. Rather they help elucidate concepts and define principles. There is no priesthood in Islam. A Muslim does not have to have any “intermediary” between himself and God.”
