[quote][quote]As far as these Mullahs are concerned their knowledge of religion is far more better than us.[/quote]

I do not think a person can be removed from the knowledge of the world; eg social sciences, political science, philosophy, literature and modern arts; and concentrate on knowledge of deen only and become a mufti then start giving out fatwas. A person who is so alienated from the reality of the world, one who is confined to his sphere of religious idealism and removed from practicality and the society - how can such a person pass judgements and religious edicts for the society? Agreed some mullahs are not like that, but many are - they live in a world where they believe everything will be ok if we go back to the mideaval times. If you see the lifes of some past scholars, they were uptodate with modern sciences and what was happening in the world. Most of our mullahs are poor uneducated (in the worldly knowledge), and yet they are passing judgements on worldly matters. Deen and Duniya cannot be separated, the true trial of this life is to apply the deen in duniya.

Some of these mullahs even say that knowledge is only that of deen, all other knowledge is useless. They make such ignorant statements, wallahi!

And brother there is nothing wrong with criticising others, it is not backbiting because we are not talking about certain individuals but a class of people. And our aim is not to mock them, but to find faults in our society so we can correct each other and get closer to Allah.[/quote]
