Here, corruption has been mentioned in general by describing that the Muslim ummah will become somewhat
similar to the Jews at some later time. May Allah protect us! This is the saying of the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAW which is bound to come true one day. There is another hadith that sheds even more light on this subject:
Hadrat ‘Ali narrates that the Holy Prophetsa said: ‘A time will come in the near future when there will be
nothing left of Islam except its name. And there will be nothing left of the Holy Qur’an except its words
[meaning the Holy Qur’an would not be understood and followed]. The mosques of that age will apparently
be full of people, but will be empty of righteousness. Their ulema will be the worst creatures
under the heaven. Discord will rise from them and will come right back to them. [That is, these ulema
will be the source of all evils.] (al-Baihaqi as quoted in al-Mishkat Kitab-ul ‘Ilm, chapter 3, p. 38 and Kanzul
‘Ummal, chapter 6, p. 43)
Meaning that the root cause of all evil will be the maulavis and they will be the source of all kinds of dissension and discord. The Holy Prophet Muhammadsa said that ‘these ulema will be the worst creatures under the sun, and they will apparently be of my ummah, and they will associate themselves with me. But, in reality, they will be, their ulema, (the ulema of the unrighteous Muslims) and would have no spiritual connection to me.’
Defiance of the Commands of
the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAW
Every dissension that you would see arising and spreading will be caused by these ulema, and then all this discord would turn on them. Why do the maulavis not read these ahadith? Their so-called White Paper says one thing while the Holy Prophet Muhammadsa is saying something else! Their White Paper is worthless compared to the sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammadsa. This paper of theirs is worth burning in Hell because it is rejecting the sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammadsa. Any paper prepared in the denial of the Holy Prophet Muhammadsa is nothing but rubbish.
Another Hadith of the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAW
On another occasion, the Holy Prophet Muhammadsa said:
(Kanzul ‘Ummal, vol. 7, p. 190)
In my ummah, an era will come when there will be disputes and there will be hostilities. Conflicts will arise.
Usually, common people will fight among each other, but the blame should not rest with them. People will turn to their ulema to find out what is going on, and to see why they are the victims of violence and mayhem. When the people go to their ulema in the hope for guidance, they will find the ulema like monkeys and swine, meaning that these are not ulema, but monkeys and swine.
Now, these are neither my words, nor of any religious scholar, nor of any Companionra, nor of any khalifah.
These are the words of the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAW who never said anything but what was commanded to him by Allah. Every person has the right and duty to ask these ulema why they are hiding these ahadith, and why they are not disclosing them with the Muslim ummah?
So, the problem of who is spreading dissension and discord has been resolved. The Holy Prophet Muhammad SAW has already said that there would be dissension, disagreements, and discord in his ummah, but the ulema, and no one else, would be responsible. And when the Holy Prophet MuhammadSAW had spoken, Allah’s decree would certainly force them to admit that they themselves are responsible for all this. What the Holy Prophet Muhammadsa has said can never go unfulfilled.
Quasi-Ulema Spell Danger for the Faith
In another hadith, the Holy Prophetsa said:
There will be nothing left of knowledge. People will make the ignorant their leaders and will seek guidance from them in matters of religion. These leaders will issue fatwas without any knowledge. They will themselves be misguided and will lead others astray. (Mishkat, Kitab ul-‘Ilm)
One does not have to go too far in the past to find out that, indeed, the ulema are ignorant, and they issue religious fatwa without any understanding. Only a few days ago, a statement by the President of Pakistan was published in the newspaper [Daily] Jang, (Lahore) of January 31, 1985. According to this statement, there are about 50,000 imams of mosques in Pakistan, and 36,000 of them are only halflearned, and another 11,000 are absolutely illiterate. People often forget that just as a half-learned doctor is dangerous to one’s body, a half-learned maulavi is dangerous to one’s soul. The Holy Prophet Muhammadsa had warned about
this danger 1400 years ago.
