The Lost Scholars

If one calls today, the age of fitnah, then this would not be wrong. This is age of fitnah , age of lies and age of false and evil deeds. It is not just a thought but it is as prophesied by beloved prophet Muhammad pbuh. Prophet Muhammad pbuh told us that a time will come when ilm ( knowledge) will be taken away and only name sake, fake scholars will remain. This is exactly what we are seeing today. There are so many name sake, fake and false scholars present today. They trade the name of islam for worldly riches and fame. Many and more examples of such people can be seen across the globe.

Some day, it is heard that a new fatwah has been issued which brings more fitnah and confusion about islam than anything else. And some times we see the name sake scholars dancing and singing and promoting mix gender mingling in the name of islam- peace. These people are not just fake but they pose the biggest danger to the iman of the believers. People might not find a person religiously sound who does not associate himself openly with islam. But a person, who is known for islam becomes inspiration for many. If such a person does wrong, he leds astray many. About such people, Allah swt say in Quran;

[18-103:106] Say: Shall We inform you who will be the greatest losers by their works? Those whose effort goeth astray in the life of the world, and yet they reckon that they do good work.  Those are they who disbelieve in the revelations of their Lord and in the meeting with Him. Therefor their works are vain, and on the Day of Resurrection We assign no weight to them. That is their reward: hell, because they disbelieved, and made a jest of Our revelations and Our messengers. 

Ibn Kathir commented on these verses in his tafisr as follows;

(About verse 103) �the Ayah was revealed in Makkah, before the Qur'an addressed the Jews and Christians, and before the Khawarij existed at all. So the Ayah is general and refers to everyone who worships Allah in a way that is not acceptable, thinking that he is right in doing that and that his deeds will be accepted, but he is mistaken and his deeds will be rejected.�

Today, we see too many people who fall under this definition perfectly. They chant islam islam and then do whatever they want. Some people sit on tv channels are talk about others' future. Some people tell others the knowledge of ghaib. We all know that neither future nor ghaib is known to anyone except by Allah's will. And Allah swt is the most wise. But still these people choose falsehood over Quran and sunnah and promote it with full heart. This shows why they are the losers.

Then there are so called scholars who choose to speak against actresses and actors and sports men over the most critical issues and problem of ummah. These people call themselves maulana and shaikh while the reality is, their faces are as dark as pitch black. They do not only tell lies, but they associate their lies with islam. Another category of false scholars is those who show up on talk shows on tv and openly associate themselves with one or different political institutions. We all know that democracy is such a hell. There is no reality in this system. In fact, khilafat was ended with democracy.

This shows how bad this system of governance is. Yet, some name sake scholars make fool of the people and make them say and do what their masters want them to do. It has also been proven that most of these loser scholars are secretly related to our enemies, the enemies of ummah. They are funded by the evil lords directly or indirectly to spread falsehood about islam. These are those lost scholars who are mentioned in Quran. We should open our eyes and get rid of these people by acquiring knowledge of Quran and sunnah with the help of Allah swt, as nothing can be done without His help.
