And when Allah intends for a community bad, He makes of their leaders those who are foolish (uncouth); and judgement (rulings) are made amongst them by those who are ignorant (reckless); and He places wealth in the hands of those who are miserly (selfish).” ( Hadith reported by Ad-Dailamy )

"Indeed the scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets, but if they fall into covetousness and greed, who shall be taken as leaders? The merchants and businessmen are the trustees of Allah, so if they are treacherous, who can be trusted? The warriors are the guests of Allah so if they become extreme (or take spoils without right), with whom can we defeat the enemies? The righteous and ascetic ones are the kings of the earth but if they become insincere (i.e. have riya’ ), who shall be followed? The governors/rulers are the shepherds (protectors) of the people, but if the shepherd becomes a wolf, who shall protect the flock?" - Imam 'Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2011) REMINDER FROM MY PREVIOUS LESSONS
