Question
Related to the Afghan issue, I'm noticing lots of ads on Cii, etc. for collecting for the secular education of Syrian orphans. It seems a similar scenario has developed in Palestine, Syria etc. Due to Bashar al Assad and his father before him strictly enforcing a secular state, millions of Muslim children have been deprived of basic deeni education and instead, the virtues and importance of secular education have been drilled into them. So now they believe that their success lies & depends on attending university. The enemies of Islam are only too quick and happy to support them in that but as far as deen is concerned, these people are lacking. So it would be unwise for us to ALSO support them in that unless the aim of the ulama who are working with the organisations involved is to slowly begin educating them regarding deen because they still have an incorrect mind-set and might openly refuse deeni education. The sad part is that their current situation is a result of lack of deen and these poor souls are drifting further away from deen and success without realising it. This is my understanding. Am I correct?
Answer
Yes, you are correct in your understanding. However, the misery which these people and the Ummah at large are today experiencing and suffering are forms of Allah's Athaab (Punishment). Muslims have abandoned the Deen of their own free volition. When they refused to reform, Allah Ta'ala imposed on them evil Satanists such as Bashar, Sisi and others of this ilk. U.S.A. oppression is also a form of Allah's punishment for this treacherous ummah. Almost the entire Islam has been forsaken and abandoned by the overwhelming majority of this Ummah in every country where there are Muslims. This treachery is worse in Muslim countries. The rulers of all Muslim countries are in reality kuffaar with Muslim names.
These rulers are the reflection of the fisq, fujoor and kufr of the Muslim people. All over the world Muslims have traded and are trading their Imaan for the miserable carrion of the dunya, and the leaders in this treachery are the molvis and sheikhs of this era. They are the worst devils, hence Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that he feared for his Ummah the greater dajjaals – more dangerous than Dajjaal-in-Chief, and they are the aimmah mudhilleen (the molvis, sheikhs and so-called buzrugs) who pave the path of Jahannam for the masses.
