Summary
Ilmu ladunni is knowledge received directly from Allah, called revelation in the case of prophets and inspiration (ilham) in the case of those with pure hearts. It is not possessed by everyone and cannot be used as a basis to judge others or as the official view of any group. Claims to it are assessed by the character and scholarly standing of the claimant, and by whether the content agrees with the Quran, hadith and scholarly consensus. Claiming exemption from the Shariah like Prophet Khidr is a misuse of the term.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Natijahnya, ilmu ladunni yang terhasil bagi seorang individu tidak layak dijadikan sandaran bagi menghukum pihak lain ataupun dijadikan pandangan rasmi mana-mana kumpulan.
