Abstract
The Islamic way of life is based on the lifestyles of the infallibles. Following and adhering to this way of life is filled with challenges and problems in this era. Identifying and solving these problems is of utmost importance so that the path to this lifestyle can be easily followed. A study of historical and religious analyses shows that some of the biggest challenges facing us today are: jurisprudential problems, cultural difference in non-Muslim lands, technological backwardness in innovation and discoveries, differences in the abilities of general Muslims and their infallible leaders, differences in the status of general Muslims and their infallible leaders, differences in the abilities of Muslims amongst themselves with regards to their responsibilities, and absence of proof with regards to some of the things and actions that are accepted as part of the lifestyle. Current writing have termed these new discussions as pooya, which means paying attention to the current challenges facing us and going back to the fundamentals to find a solution for them.
