Mufti M. Abdoh is a well-known and respected name in the history of Islamic studies. He belonged to one of the ancient lands, Egypt. He was brought up in the community that followed Maalki (school of thought). He, through his books and essays in magazines and periodicals, strived to reveal the limitations of imitation and the fruitfulness of freedom of thought. He says that true spirit of Islam sprouts from the thinking that is beyond the restrictions of imitation. He declares that many of actions, deeds and rituals that we perform are a result of imitation and they can be proved vile if we have a deep look on their origin. He states that the real Islamic values have been abandoned, and so called Islam is in practice which is not only against Islamic spirit but also a crime against Islam. He is also of the opinion that ijtehad, should be utilized for the solution of modern day problems. For ijtehad he recommends the services of parliament consisting of members not only religious scholars but also representatives of all school of thoughts, specialists and experts. Regarding Ijtehad, he opines that it is the 3rd source of guidance for humanity after Holy Quran and Sunnah. The extent to what we follow these two in our lives matters, and what others say or do should not be focused upon. The real success on the doom's day depends upon the obedience (submission) to God and Prophet's teachings but they should not be taken only for granted, rather they should be adopted in the light of wisdom and consideration and much deliberation. Imitation without thinking should be abandoned at once to revive the true spirit of Islam
