Suhaib Webb – The Role of Institutions and Ulama in Muslim Societies

			There is an assumption
		

			because of dictatorships in the Muslim world
		

			that the academic flavor is gone. The Azhar
		

			is done. Medina is done. Everything is destroyed.
		

			This is the outcome of colonality
		

			because colonality wants you to destroy
		

			your institutions.
		

			Because when you have no institutions,
		

			it's you have no protection anymore. That's why
		

			we have to be very careful of people
		

			who all they do is attack with the
		

			just institutions
		

			and shirk imams because it is part of
		

			the poi of sheitbar to remove away their
		

			protective barriers. The dam that protects you from
		

			kufa and being astray are the ulama. If
		

			you have no trust in the ulama, you're
		

			gonna be flooded by this dunya.
		

			Doesn't mean all ulama, but some of them
		

			of course they have problems.
		

			But then the juul So one of the
		

			assumptions is, you know, I was to ask,
		

			Oh, somebody told me, you know, it would
		

			have been better if you went you know,
		

			you did just didn't go.
		

			I didn't go in.
		

			Really, like, this is the this so, again,
		

			it undermines utility. It undermines growth. It undermines
		

			the ability to push it forward.
