Mufti Menk – Signs Of A Confused Scholar
AI: Summary ©
The um rights have created a group of people who are looking for guidance and advice. The group is not looking for words against one another, but rather calling out names and saying that they have lost the plot and argument. The um rights have also created a group of people who are not known by the public, but are being taught by men and women who have dedicatedly worked hard to read the Quran.

We have generations to worry about. The Ummah,
we have to worry about. It's not about
you and I. Please, oh dear scholars,
I'm sorry to say it, but I have
to say bluntly,
behave yourselves.
Here are the masses looking for guidance, not
looking for swear words against one another. You
find one calling the other names. And what's
the other one doing? He will smile and
say, may Allah forgive him. And he will
keep on doing the work. My brothers and
sisters, recognize them. When you hear a scholar
belittling another,
understand it's a mental problem.
Understand it's a psychological issue.
Understand it's a complex that they've developed thinking
that they know and everyone else doesn't.
And understand when a scholar begins to sway
at another and scoff at another and belittle
another, it's a sign he has lost not
only the plot
but even the argument.
You know, it's like kids when you're playing
a game and you're a big guy and
the little guy comes and actually wins. What
do you do? You spoil the game and
you say he's an idiot. He's a dog.
He's a puppy. He's a whatever. He's a
pig and so on. May Allah forgive us.
These type of words are being used by
those who are supposed to be carriers
of the deen of Allah, of the Quran
and Sunnah. My brothers and sisters, do you
really think those are our true leaders? Or
should we excuse them? Should we excuse them?
Because if we're going to go back and
fight back,
what will happen? We will create a public
disaster for nothing. We're going to make a
fool of ourselves as an Ummah. The truth
is we make dua for them and we
carry on.
The Quran teaches us when the ignorant
and the arrogant, the Juhal,
when they are communicating with you, the only
thing you can say is salaam peace and
you walk away. Maintain your peace. Keep the
peace among the people and continue. Allah will
grant you goodness. My brothers, my sisters, it's
about time we as the Ummah, the masses,
realized and recognized
those who make a true effort and constantly
serve the ummah. They serve humanity. They go
out, they feed the poor. They go out,
they teach
diligently. There are people we don't even hear
of who have produced huffar. They have produced
so many of the young people learning the
Quran. You and I were taught by men
and women of knowledge who have
dedicatedly
trained us when we were young to read
the Quran. No one even mentions them. No
one even knows them at times. Those are
the awliya'ullah.
Those are the friends of Allah who dedicatedly
work
quietly teaching alif
alif.
Those are the ones who get a full
reward. Massive and they are not even known
by the public. They are known by the
angels who carry their sadaqa jariyah, the reward
on a daily basis.
