EVIL ULAMA’S FROM
THE TRADITIONS OF MASOOMEEN(AS) A study of the Hadees of Aimmah (as) tells us that there
are two types of Ulamas, i.e. Ulama-e-Khair (Ulamas of Good) and Ulama-e-Soo
(Ulama of Evil). 1) The following is what Imam Hasan Askeri (as) has to
say regarding the Ulama of Evil: “Among the Scholars there is one such group
which has hatred against our followers and lovers. This group of Scholars is
not able to openly speak bad about us by using our names. Hence this group of
scholars learns some of our knowledge and using this knowledge to gain
importance and attention among our Shia’s and lovers. And when they see that
our less learned and simple minded Shia’s have started to respect them, then
this group of scholars starts pointing out defects in us and highlights them to
the enemies of our friends and using their ijtehdad and guess work makes these
small defects appear big, although we are far away from such defects. Our
simple minded and less learned shia, thinking that
these scholars spread the knowledge of Ahlebait, get entrapped in their
utterances and get misguided and this group of scholars misguides them. For our
Shia’s, such a group of Scholars is more dangerous than the army of Yazid (la)
who oppressed Imam Husain (as) and his companions; because this group takes
away the spirit of Eeman from the simple minded, less learned Shia’s and also
takes away their money. This very group is the Scholars of Evil (ulama-e-soo).
This group has hatred toward our lovers and just to entrap them claims that
they love the Ahlul Bait (as) and hate their enemies. This very group, changes
faces so as to create doubt in the hearts of the less learned shia’s and this very group misguides them.” [ Ref: Ihtejaaj by Tabrisi Pg 236 ] 2) Imam Ridha (as) said:
"Some of those who claim the affection for us - the Prophet's
Household are more dangerous for our Shia than the ordeal of the Dajjal."
I asked: "How do such people become dangerous?” The Imam (as) answered
"They support our enemies and antagonize our followers. When this occurs,
the right will be confused with the wrong and the whole matter will be
perplexed. Then, there will be no distinction between the believers and the hypocrites." [ Ref:
Sifat-ush-shia, hadees no.14 ] These
Ulama-e-Soo are the same people who take advantage of their position to raise
objections and create doubts regarding Wilayat by narrating incidences which
lower the position of Ahle Bait (as) and also raise objections on the various
Acts of Azadari. |
