If you could go back in time and study with any scholar, who would it be and why?

Mawlana Rumi - so that I can fall in love with God, over and over again.

And Imam Abu Hanifah so that the legalities of every aspect of Islam are covered in depth.

And Sayyidina Ghawth al A'zham because He RA is more than 'the Rose of Baghdad'.

I think it has to be like Dawud , the leader of all saints - Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (ra), hes amazing to say the least! I would love to meet him.

Who else? - i'll add more later

can we please be careful with wording like "leader of all [INSERTSOMETHING]". What about saints before him? (same goes for other comparations. Why do we have to say one is superior to the other?)

Bump.

I would say who I would study with but I don't know enough about anyone 🙁

Studying with Imam Abu Hanifa (ra) to learn fiqh sounds like a brilliant idea though!
