Question
Some time ago there was a family reunion in the family which is in vogue too and no surprise that it was spearheaded by a group of ulama (sic! ulama-e-soo', imposters, shayaateen in human form – The Majlis) under the auspices of a senior Aalim and Ustaad (ustaadh of the devils – The Majlis) of the Jamiat (i.e. the NNB Jamiat of Fordsburg). About 8 to 10 thousand. rand was needed to rent the hall for which they raised part of the funds and for the food by charging each family member a nominal fee. Seriously, what is the need for this farce when they wouldn't even meet and visit them at other times but would look for the slightest pretext to run to their rich friends? It seems as if we continuously look for opportunities to feast and eat. Also most disturbing is that present there are some pious people who attend but for some reason or the other are too scared to speak out and object. Is this policy of appeasement not nifaaq? (Yes, it is – The Majlis) Keeping everyone happy but Allah?
Answer
Allah Ta'ala says in the Qur'aan Majeed: "The life of this world is but play and amusement. And, the abode of the Aakhirah is best for those who fear (Allah). What! Do you have no sense?" While Ulama are supposed to be the guides and beacons of Light for the Ummah, they have become deceits and highway robbers, ruining the Akhlaaq of Muslims and robbing them of their Imaan. The israaf (waste), riya (show/ostentation), takabbur (pride), female adornment, promiscuity and sin in general accompanying these merrymaking shaitaani gatherings are glaringly conspicuous to even ignoramuses whose Imaan has not yet become deranged. Knowledge is not a prerequisite to understand the evil and shaitaaniyat of these mal-oon family gatherings. Every act in these devilish gatherings, from A to Z is satanic and haraam. The NNB Jamiat of Fordsburg is a gang of conmen fleecing the community of their money, plundering their Zakaat and Lillah funds, ruining their Akhlaaq and destroying their Imaan. The Hadith which speaks of 'ulama' who will be circumambulating their intestines in Jahannam applies to these types of disgusting molvies who not only participate in the haraam functions of the juhala, but they actually initiate these shaitaani practices. May Allah Ta'ala protect the community from the satanic depredations and moral depravity of the ulama-e-soo'.
