Seek guidance from scholars for proper interpretation of Islamic teachings.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ recited a verse from the Quran which speaks about verses that are basic or fundamental. He then said that when one sees people who follow what is allegorical in the Quran, they should be avoided. This hadith teaches us that we should not take it upon ourselves to interpret verses of the Quran allegorically as this can lead to incorrect interpretations and beliefs. We must instead rely on scholars who have studied and understand Islamic teachings in order to gain a proper understanding of its teachings. Additionally, this hadith also teaches us about humility; we must accept our limitations in understanding certain aspects of Islam and seek guidance from those more knowledgeable than us.
