0:14
If scholars abandon understanding the reality of their Ummah, as well as leading and caring for it,
0:20
the Ummah will be ruined, relinquish its major causes, and be torn apart between two groups.
0:27
The first group consists of the people of immorality and corruption,
0:31
who push themselves forward—or are thrust forward—to lead the Ummah and take charge of its affairs,
0:38
thereby ruining the lands and misleading the people.
0:42
The second group consists of the hasty among the youth of Islamic activism,
0:46
who are enthusiastic about establishing the religion,
0:49
yet plunge themselves into issuing religious edicts regarding the Ummah's major crises out of mere emotion and zeal for the religion,
0:56
without sound knowledge or deeply rooted fiqh,
0:59
thus casting the Ummah into severe discord and great tribulation.
1:03
Both groups, despite the differences in their intentions and starting points,
1:10
share in bringing ruin and corruption upon the Ummah.
