The Sad State Of The ‘Ulama’ And Masaajid Of The Country Towns
Allah Ta’ala declares His Sole Divine Ownership of every Masjid on the surface of the earth in the following clear and explicit Aayat:
“And indeed, the Masaajid belong to Allah.” (Jinn, Aayat 18)
Allah Ta’ala described the basis of unity in the following Aayat:
“And together hold firmly onto the Rope (i.e. Shari’ah) of Allah and do not become divided (disunited).” (Aal-Imraan, 103)
Nabi (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) offers a guarantee of assured safety and security from viruses in the Masaajid in the following Beautiful and Blessed Words:
“When disease descends from the skies, it is averted from the inhabitants of the Masaajid.” (Faidhul-Qadeer and others)
Whilst the country towns of South Africa boasts for their unique scenery, serenity and other wonderful nature, the one exclusive ‘pride’ which country town Muslims used to always mention and boast about was the unity they have. It was with this unity that they lived with each other with Muhabbah (love), patience and forbearance. This unity made them live like one happy family in their small town!
However, with the current so-called ‘virus’ – which many pro-secular minded, liberal and modern-thinking Muslims believe to be a very serious issue and regard the Haraam and filthy vaccine to be the ‘only’ cure (Na’uthu-Billah!) – we are faced with, Muslims have become disunited when viewed with the spectacles of the Shari’ah.
Among the ‘hot-spots’or ‘worst-hit’ places for this detrimental disunity are the country town Muslims and their Masaajid. City Muslims and Masaajid are not entirely absolved of this disunity, however, due to there being various Masaajid in each suburb or nearby suburbs, Musallis frequent those Masaajid which suit them best.
On the other hand, many countryside towns only have one Masjid. Due to the small Muslim community, one small Masjid suffices for the daily Salaahs.
Unfortunately and lamentably, some of the Imaams and ‘Ulama’ in these small country towns are influenced by the court-type ‘Ulama’ (JUSA and UUCSA). This is where the disunity stems from! Since the roots are that of a corrupt fraternity of so-called ‘Ulama’, hence the bitter fruits with terrible taste of disunity is witnessed.
Many simpleton Muslims residing in the country towns have some Ta’alluq (connection / contact) with the Allah fearing Ulama-e-Haq who perhaps live in the cities. Many such Muslim communities even arrange for the pious Ulama-e-Haq to make a trip down to their small towns for the delivering of Naseehat, Bayaans and conducting Islaahi Majaalis.
Since the so-called virus that dawned upon us with the inhumane and gruesome, brutal and oppressive lockdown, Allah Ta’ala, through His Divine Hikmat (Wisdom) has used this the means to separate the Ulama-e-Haq from the Ulama-e-government who are also known to be the Ulama-e-court, Ulama-e-Amicus, Ulama-e-covid and Ulama-e-Baatil, but are famously branded as Ulama-e-Soo’! Indeed, this is the most positive and bright side in the light of Deen that we can appreciate from the so-called ‘virus’ – Alhamdulillah!
As stated above that since the Imaams or ‘Ulama’ of some of the country towns are influenced by JUSA / UUCSA-kind anti-Masjid ‘Ulama’, and due to them being the only or the very few learned men in their small towns, they are given the various tasks and duties of the Masaajid. They conduct Jumu’ah Bayaans and other talks. Since the speaker has an influence on the audience, these ‘Ulama’ influence their small ‘united’ Muslim community of their small town.
Since majority of the Musallis in these small towns are laymen, they regard whatever Ta’leem (Islamic teaching) is given or displayed to them by the Imaam/s to be correct Islamically. In this, many anti-Sunnah acts are promoted and perpetrated by the Imaams which the Musallis accept and follow (blindly) due to there being no opposing group of Ulama-e-Haq nearby, or no other Masjid that follows proper Shar’ee teachings, nearby.
One such evil alien-to-Deen practice is the Kitaab reading or Hadith reading immediately after the Fardh Salaah – generally after the Maghrib Fardh Salaah. While this could be also a practice in the city Masaajid, however, there are many alternative Masaajid available in close proximity where Musallis, who have been taught of this to be evil and a Bid’ah, can attend. This privilege is not found in most of the country town Masaajid.
Recently, we have been made aware that one such Imaam that is also part of the anti-Masjid mob of ‘Ulama’, i.e. JUSA / UUCSA, mentioned the (Shaitaani) ‘importance’ of wearing the brain-damaging, inhumane and unhealthy masks for Salaah. He said that Musallis should not listen to Moulanas and Muftis that say otherwise, despite the Moulanas and Muftis that say otherwise having solid Dalaa’il (proofs)!
While this is a lamentable and dangerous statement made, it is of no surprise to us. However, it is indeed utterly sad to think of how the Muslim community is brainwashed by this follower of Baatil and the atheists!
While this scenario we have learnt of is that of one of the country towns, there may be many more Musallis who know and understand the Haq from other country towns that could share similar incidents (of how the ‘Ulama’ sweep the Haq under the rug).
We have also been informed of some Masaajid to be ardent adherents of the silly man-made, atheist-made, anti-Sunnah and anti-Shari’ah protocols. This is enforced in the one and only Masjid in their small locality!
What and how should a Musalli that follows the Ulama-e-Haq and regards the man-made protocols of the governments as an indirect attack on Islam deal with such a situation? We truly and rightfully lament for such Musallis. May Allah open a way for them.
We have also been informed as related to us personally from a brother who said that he travelled with his friend to the country towns recently. At a particular Masjid in a famous town, they stopped over for Salaah. Being uncertain as to whether Shaitaani irrational man-made protocols are in vogue or not at the particular Masjid, they came to an agreement before entering the Masjid that, ‘If there is social distancing here, we will turn around and walk out of the Masjid.’ They also agreed that they’ll wait till the last Musalli leaves the Masjid, then go into the Masjid and make their own Jamaat. Allahu-Akbar! What love for the Masjid! What love for the Sunnah way of Salaah in the Masjid!
Lo and behold! As soon as Jamaat Salaah began, Shaitaan also ‘entered’ the Masjid with his whole army and filled the spaces the Musallis ‘willingly’ left for Shaitaan, as per the Hadith Shareef. The two visitors turned around and headed for the door. Perhaps it was the Imaam that queried their reason for leaving to which they explained themselves that ‘they’ll never read Salaah in this (Shaitaan-friendly) fashion’. The Imaam pulled the brothers in the first Saff to close their Shaitaani gap by standing shoulder to shoulder. In this way, all read Salaah in the 1400-year-old Golden Sunnah Way – Subhaanallah!
This clearly shows that many country town Musallis are pushed and forced to follow the Shaitaani protocols enforced by JUSA / UUCSA type so-called ‘Ulama’ who are proving to us that they are Ulama-e-government!
We were also informed that one such JUSA-type so-called ‘scholar’ who strictly abides by the irrational protocols of the devil which his crew – the JUSA / UUCSA government men – enforce, was seen in a city-Masjid where Salaah was read in the Mubaarak Way of shoulder to shoulder! He also joined shoulders! Is this not being two faced? Is this not fence sitting? Is this not double standards? Why then does this JUSA-‘Molvi’ practice (Satanic-)social-distancing and masks his breathing in Salaah at his local Masjid but shows a different face elsewhere? Is it to ‘please’ the rich Trustees who in the small towns appear to have bought out the so-called ‘Ulama’, to make them ‘dance to the tune’ of the Jaahil Trustees who themselves don’t have any Sunnah in their dressing and appearance, and who possibly are heavily involved in waging war with Allah Ta’ala by indulging in Riba through the banks and credits in their businesses and dealings!
May Allah Ta’ala save the Ulama-e-Haq from being bought out and becoming the ‘pets’ of the rich Juhhaal (ignoramuses) in the community, Aameen.
While there are many sincere donors, others are simply out there to ‘catch’ the learned with their ‘bait’ of wealth. Thus, they will sponsor everything for the learned scholar – from paying his electricity and water bills to buying his monthly grocery. From buying a car for the Imaam to doing the maintenance of the Imaam’s house. Thus, we have seen the real and genuine Allah-fearing Ulama-e-Haq who have blankly refused such treatments which they were offered! Indeed, their Taqwa opens the veils with which they then can foresee certain future impediments and obstructions if they accept such treatments and advantages. Among them is becoming ‘impotent’ in the important Divine Department of Amr bil Ma’roof Nahi anil Munkar (commanding good and forbidding evil, Haraam and sins). Once more, may Allah save the Ulama-e-Haq, Aameen.
The point is that since silly protocols designed by the enemies of Allah Ta’ala (Kuffar and atheists) are forced down the throats of the Musallis, many Musallis follow them in the Masjid based on a mere force. And this ‘force’ is a type of Zulm (oppression / bullying). Regarding the oppressors, Allah Ta’ala has clearly invoked His Curse upon them in the Qur’an Majeed! May the Trustees that think they are doing a ‘favour’ to the Masjid, Musallis and Allah Ta’ala by enforcing Kuffar’s protocols gain some understanding before it is too late.
The Masaajid are Pure and Clean places since they are Allah Ta’ala’s Houses on earth. The most beloved spots on earth are the Masaajid. The boundary of every Masjid will be annexed into Jannah!
Will Allah Ta’ala’s House have a virus, or will you ‘contact’ a virus if you enter Allah’s House? Will Allah Ta’ala put a virus in those spots on earth that He loves the most? Is there a virus in Jannah, since the Masjid boundary will be part of Jannah?
We mentioned in a previous article and certain Allah fearing Ulama-e-Haq have also stated in their Bayaans that since all these man-made protocols that the Trustees and Imaams / Ulama are rigidly enforcing in Allah’s Houses, do they also follow the laws and protocols in all their other dealings, activities and doings? Do they abide rigidly to the speed limit on the roads? Is driving fast not also putting other peoples’ lives at risk?
Furthermore, do these men that are doing the work of the government wear their seat belts every single time they drive, or in order to off the seat belt sound in their modern cars they merely plug in the seatbelts from behind them in the seats? There can be many more questions posed to these type of people!
It is sad to see how the taxi industry, the malls and shops are operating almost normally, yet the Masaajid – especially the country town Masaajid – have ‘strict’ agents of the government in the garb of Trustees and in the dressing of ‘Ulama’ to enforce, restrict and strictly follow man-made laws!
The Musallis in the country towns should apply pressure on the Trustees and ‘Ulama’ that enforce the man-made protocols that are prone to err!
ALLAH’S HOUSES BELONG TO ALLAH TA’ALA AND HIS DIVINE PROTOCOLS (I.E. THE SHARI’AH) AS SHOWN TO US BY HIS RASOOL (SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM) AND THE SAHAABAH (RADHIYALLAHU ANHUM) HAVE TO BE FOLLOWED IN THEM, NOT MAN-MADE LAWS OF THE ATHEIST AND KUFFAR!
