FORESIGHT OF OUR SENIORS- THE ULAMA E HAQ
A NOTE THAT WILL RUFFLE THE FEATHERS OF THE HAUGHTY.
Whilst the times we are currently witnessing are very disturbing, here's something good I have always known but never realized.
The something that i have known but never realized is the absolute foresight (firaasat) of our senior Ulama in general and in particular, the foresight of Saahibe Majlis - Moulana Ahmed Sadek Saheb Desai of Port Elizabeth.
Years ago - literally, perhaps decades ago, he had already publicly declared that JUSA, MJC, Radio Shaytaan, and Co. are off the track. Years ago, he had warned us as the Muslim community of South Africa to be aware of the snares of these monsters on our mimbars and devils on air. Years ago, he noted and begun taking action against the evils which we partially realize today.
Then, in those far gone days, when i was like many others. We, many, if not most Muslims of South Africa would frown at his seemingly harsh approach and counted his warnings as something farfetched, we thought we knew better. We thought who is he to brand people and we questioned who he is to expose others.
In fact, many of us were at the brink of war! War with not the majlisis of those times. Rather, many of us unknowingly almost found ourselves at war with Allah Azza Wa Jal - It is mentioned that the one who hurts the Wali of Allah, Allah Ta’ala declares war on him.
However, today, as I pen down this observation down, the Ulama-e-haq are united like never before. I mean, from the shore line of Port Shepston to the outskirts of Lenaisia, from the farmland of De Deur to the sea shore of Isipingo, from well known town of Azaadville to the friendly cirty of Port Elizabeth, from UUCSA's own members to the founding members of Wifaqul Ulama, In uniform, the Ulama across South Africa warn us of these gangs of so-called Ulama who are bent on not only destroying the foundations of Islamic laws and protocols. Today, they are gnawing at the foundation of our islamic beliefs - at the root of our Imaan.
O' brother Muslims of South Africa, open your eyes and see the foresight, wisdom and truth of our pious Ulama. Join them in their efforts and hold tight to their teachings for the Quran Kareem states: Join the company of the pious.
Don't ever again make that mistake of assuming that the Ulama-e-haq don't know the facts, don't ever make that mistake of assuming that the Ulama just talk and write because they have nothing else to do and don't ever assume that their warnings are farfetched.
O' students of the madaaris and O' young Ulama! You people generally have a tendency of assuming that you know it all. Beware of assuming that you are smarter than your seniors. Look at the example we are living through; Look at when Saahibe Majlis understood what we are trying to still figure out today. Some thirty years later? How true was our Nabi Alaihi Salaam not when he said to the effect: Beware of the firaasat of a Mu'min because he sees with the noor of Allah.
Despite the difficult times, came to light is the foresight of our seniors and, despite the difficult times, came to our shore the unity we once could only dream of.
