Question
You have criticized the Ulama-get-together (Abnaaul Qadeem) of Azaadville Madrasah. Even the Tabligh Jamaat has such jors (get-togethers). At the Tablighi Ijtima jors the Ulama are given VIP and 5 star treatment. What do you say about these functions?
Answer
Even the ulama jors of the Tabligh Jamaat are improper. That is why the Tabligh Jamaat has split into two mutually hostile camps at each other's throat. Their ulama hallucinated that they were VIPs, hence the 5 star inappropriate treatment. There were no ulama jors and functions among the Sahaabah and the illustrious Fuqaha and Muhadditheen. These new-fangled functions are in imitation of kuffaar practices.
The Khulafa-e-Raashideen despite ruling a vast empire never had ulama jors or jors for even the governors appointed to rule the various lands of Islam.
