Over the years, I have observed some very strange behaviour from various Muslim scholars and institutions globally.

Answer

This process of kufr hijacking of even renowned Madaaris is no secret. Just look at the fate of the famous Madrasah, Jamiah Azhar. Great and illustrious figures of the Deen had emerged from thd Portals of that Institution. Today it is an institution which promotes KUFR under Islamic guise. The West has totally hijacked this Madrasah which is no longer a Madrasah of the Deen.

This process of kufrization was initiated by the British colonial masters. Although political independence in some form has been granted to the vassal populations of the Muslim lands, the greatest coup of the colonial masters was the colonization of the brains of the Muslims, especially of the sheikhs and now of the molvis, all of whom are scholars for dollars.

Even our own Darul Ulooms in India and Pakistan, including Darul Uloom Deoband, is on the same slippery path of kufr down which Jamiah Azhar and other Institutions in the Muslim countries have slid and lost themselves. Some decades ago we proudly looked at our Headquarters, Darul Uloom Deoband, for guidance and knowledge. Today, we no longer swallow the edicts issued by Darul Uloom Deoband. Their fatwas are suspect and contaminated with the dunya.

Brother we are in the era known as Aakhiruz Zamaan. Qiyaamah is not in the too distant future. The demise of the Deeni Institutions and the corruption of the Ulama have been predicted by Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). These Institutions are pursuing worldly objectives under cover of the Deen. Among the Signs of Qiyaamah stated in the Hadith are:

"Ilm will be imparted for the sake of the dunya. The dunya will be pursued with the amal of the Aakhirah."
