“The fundamental requisite for becoming a Molvi is worship of the Haq, not worship of the Nafs. The one who pursues Knowledge of the Deen should be bereft of greed (for the world), for such a Molvi will alter the laws (of the Shariah) for the sake of gratifying his avarice. The authorities of the Madrasah should forthwith expel such students who lack the moral ability of becoming Molvis. Mass production of Molvis is not permissible.”
(Hakeemul-Ummat, Hazrat Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi Rahmatullahi alaih)
