From the words of Ahmad bin ‘Aasim Al-Andaakee, who was one of the biggest
scholars at the time of Sulaymaan Ad-Daaraanee, was: “Indeed, I have reached from all the times, a time when Islaam has returned to being strange as it began. In it, the
description of truth has returned to being strange as it began. If you were to turn to the scholar, you would find him being tested with the love of this worldly life and the love for honor and authority. And if you were to turn to the worshipper, you would find him ignorant in his worship, deceived and fallen victim to his enemy Iblees (i.e. the Devil). He has mounted to the highest levels of worship while being ignorant of how to perform them so how can he be at that level? And the rest of the people are from among the ignorant followers, simple-minded and quick to follow a way, as if he were a wolf looking to steal a sheep, or a hungry lion, or a fox on the prowl. This is the description of the people of your time from the carriers of knowledge and the Qur’aan and the callers of wisdom.” Hilyat-ul-Awliyaa (9/286)
Brothers and sisters, what can we learn from this ?
