The government of Pakistan force the Ulama of the Darul Ulooms to toe the line by promoting its policies.

Answer

The strain and worry of the evil government of Napakistan can be easily resolved by the Ulama, if they are truly Ulama -e-Haqq. For Ulama whose focus is on Allah Ta'ala and the Aakhirah and whose objective in operating the Madaaris is the Pleasure of Allah Ta'ala, the government's haraam pressurizing should not be of much concern.

However, when the focus is diverted from the Maqsood (Objective) of operating Darul Ulooms, then Ulama of weak Imaan will throw in the towel, submit and bootlick the fussaaq, fujjaar, kuffaar government. Then they will compromise, dilute and mangle the Shariah. This is what even Mufti Taqi is guilty of. Worldly and nafsaani objectives constrain them to resort to haraam compromising. Then they find satanic interpretations to uphold the evil policies of the vile government.

Once the wealthy fussaaq in Deoband had created a huge fitnah. They wanted a prominent wealthy faasiq to be instated as a member of Darul Uloom's Shura. Hadhrat Maulana Rashid Ahmed Gangohi (Rahmatullah alayh) resolutely rejected this haraam demand of the community. The amount and degree of fitnah created by the supporters of the wealthy faasiq threatened to close down the Darul Uloom if the faasiq's appointment was not accepted.

The fitnah was so intense and threatening that even Hadhrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (Rahmatullah alayh) somewhat relented and advised Hadhrat Gangohi to accept the demand of the fussaaq. In Hadhrat Thanvi's view, acceptance was the lesser evil. The greater evil was the closing down of the great and noble Institution of Darul Uloom.

But, Hadhrat Maulana Gangohi (Rahmatullah alayh), adopting the stance of Hadhrat Abu Bakr (Radhiyallahu anhu), and rejecting Hadhrat Thanvi's proposal, said: "Madrasah Maqsood nahi. Ridha-e-Ilaahi Maqsood he." (The objective is not the Madrasah. The Objective is the Pleasure of Allah Ta'ala). He stated with great clarity and emphasis that if the Madrasah must close in consequence of the fitnah, "LET IT CLOSE". But, never shall he transgress the Shariah by accepting the appointment of a faasiq to a position of Trust.

The firmness of Hadhrat Gangohi completely eliminated the doubt of Hadhrat Thanvi who acknowledged the correctness of the stance of Hadhrat Gangohi. Thus, the faasiq was not accepted and the Darul Uloom did not close down. The Nusrat of Allah Ta'ala was at hand.

This should be the stance of the Ulama-e-Haqq. When the vile, fussaaq, fujjaar, kuffaar government officials arrive to pressurize them (the Ulama of the Madaaris), the latter should tell them: "Go to Jahannam!". If the Madaaris have to close down as a result of the firm stance of the Haqq, let them close. The Ulama will lose nothing. On the contrary, they will gain the Ridha of Allah Ta'ala for their firm stance of the Haqq crafted for His Ridha.

They can close the Madaaris only if Allah Ta'ala so decrees. When a Madrasah no longer serves the real and true Objective of the Deen, then Allah Ta'ala will allow its closure. Nowadays most Darul Ulooms produce mercenaries and treacherous molvis who barter away the Deen and their Imaan for the miserable jeefah of the dunya.

The Ulama should remain firm on the Haqq. If the government closes the Madaaris, let them do so. Then the Ulama can teach a handful of sincere Talaba in their homes.
