Pearl of Wisdom

?O servants of Allah! That which comes after death for those who have not been forgiven is worse than death Itself and it is the grave. So, be warned of its tightness, its hardship, its darkness and its loneliness ..... And the hard life that Allah has warned His enemies about is the punishment of the grave.'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]

Amali al-Tusi, p. 28, no. 31

Subject:	choosing a taqleed
Question:	I am currently 25 years of age, I was sat down by my parents when I became baligh and made to do the taqleed of Grand Ayatullah Seestani. Whilst I respect his laws and the dedication he has given to Islam, I dont in my mind believe him to be Alam, nor do I see any other of the Ulemah as Alam either. How do I ascertain who is Alam in a day and age when there is so many scholars to choose from? Whilst I dont know who is Alam which rulings do I follow?
