Allama Kirinani (Rahinatullah Alayh) says: “In our times it is preferable to seclude yourself, and to remain in solitude, because (nowadays) it is very seldom that any gathering is devoid of sinful acts.” Allama Amy (Rahmatullah Alayh) says: “I am also in agreement with Kirmani because in these times nothing is derived from gathering except sin.” Irnam Nawawi (Rahmatullah Alayh) passed away in the year 676 Hijri and Allama Kirmani (Rhmatullah Alayh) died in 786 Hijri. In a period of merely one hundred years times had changed so much that Imam Nawawi prefers mixing with people to be better and Allama Kirmani, 100 years later says that seclusion and solitude is better. Aliama Amy died in 755 Hijri and he concurs whole-heartedly with Kirmani while explaining the upsurge in evil all round. We are now in the second half of the 14th Century and one can only imagine how many more evils have arisen around us. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: “Every era that dawns will exceed the era before it in evil.” He is also reported to have said: “You shall continue to enjoin the doing of good and continue to prohibit the doing of evil. However when you see stinginess being obeyed, and carnal desires being followed, and the world being preferred (over deed), and every man becomes infatuated with his own opinion, and you see such a state of affairs that there is no other way (except silence), then guard yourself (to avoid being involved in trouble) and cut of intercourse with the people. Soon a time will come when to hold onto your religion will be like holding onto live burning coals.” (Mishkat) A time will come when just as difficult as it is to hold live burning coals in your hand with patience, so difficult will it be to remain steadfast on your deen. Now, every religious minded person, every religiously conscious one knows how difficult it is to spread true religious teachings, to draw attention to deen and even to act according to deen. Look at the most important tenet of Islam, which, after Imaan, is the most weighty thing - Salaah. See how difficult it has become to command those high ranking nobles among the Muslims, the wealthy ones, those people who are looked upon as the standard-bearers of Islam and its leaders - to perform Salaah! See how difficult it has become to persuade them to attend the Mosque for Salaah and to observe the prayer with Jamaat. It is more difficult than to tell the ordinary Muslim in the street. It almost seems that he who does the preaching and persuading to induce others to attend the prayers is doing so for his own good, for some vested interest. And it seems as if those who are preached to, are deriving no benefit therefrom. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: “My example is like that of a person who lighted a fire. Moths flock to the light and fall upon it and he chases them away so that they do not become unnecessarily burnt. But they do not go away and burn in Al- Eti’daal Fi Maraatibur- Rijaal 186
the fire. Such is my example. I come to grab you away from the fire of hell but you continue to rush into it.” (Mishkat) In this manner it is the duty of the Ulema to continue to strive and prevent people from evil. But if in the end they are overcome or fear any danger, then it is better to remain in solitude and seclusion away from mischief. Sayyidina Abdullah bin Umar (Radiallahu anhu) says: “I heard Hajjaaj, (the great tyrant) uttering some illegal things in a sermon. The thought came into me that I should attack him, but then I remembered a saying of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and I remained silent. That saying of Rasulullah (Sallailahu Alayhi Wasallam) is this: “It does not befit a believer to humiliate himself.” I then asked: “0 Rasul of Allah, how will a man humiliate himself?” Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasailam) replied: “To enter himself into such a difficulty which he will not be able to bear.” Sayyidina Ali (Radiallahu anhu) also reported this Hadeeth: “It is not for a Muslim to degrade himself.” The Sahabah (Radiallahu anhum) inquired: “How does a Muslim degrade himself?” Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) replied: “To go into such a calamity which he is not able to bear.” (Majma-ul-zawaaid) When the battle between Sayyidina Ali (Radiallahu anhu) and Muawiya (Radiallahu anhu) took place Sayyidin Saad bin Abi Waqqas (Radiallahu anhu), one of the most eminent Sahabah (Radiallahu anhum) ,mounted his camel and fled into the wilderness. His son Umar (Radiallahu anhu) went to visit him there and as he saw the son approaching him he prayed: “0 Allah I seek refi1ge in thee from the evil of the rider.” The son dismounted and said to his father: “ how is that you have taken your camel and goats and came here, leaving people to fight over the state?” Sayyidina Saad (Radiallahu anhu) struck the son forcefully upon the chest said: with his hand and said: “Be quiet. I myself have heard Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) say: Allah loves that person who is Godfearing and pious, and remains hidden.” (Targheeb, Muslim) Once asululIah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) asked: “Shall I inform you who is the best persons?” The Sahabah (Radiallahu anhum) replied: “Yes, do tell us.” Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: “It is that person who holding onto the reins of his horse while strives in the path of Allah until such time that he dies or is martyred.” Al- Eti’daal Fi Maraatibur- Rijaal 187
