In the presence of His Eminence
Merely reviving religious sciences in books and seminaries is not enough to revive the Islamic Ummah. Here, to revive the religious spirit in people, to make people believe in religion, to make people interested in religion, to learn what is permissible and what is forbidden, to learn what is obligatory and what is permissible, to know what is forbidden and what is permissible, and to move with religion, this is a practical revival. Is. This work is the responsibility of reformers of Islamic societies.
Only being a scientist and researcher does not solve this problem. Here, apart from science and religious research, a leader is needed to wake up the people. Simply by bringing science to life in books, the Islamic Ummah will never be revived, and this will be done with the guidance and leadership. The one who comes forward and moves the people to follow him. Here, those who move the people are divided into two categories: one part of their stimulation is a trend, and one part of their stimulation is leadership. Syagi stimulation means the stimulus that commands from behind and says go. A leader is a ruler who goes ahead and takes others to follow him.
The religious scholars were of two groups: some of them were instigators of Syagi, they ordered to fight against corruption, fight against oppression, fight against superstitions, this incitement is Siagi, that is, they sat down and told others to go, so their success was low; But the reformers of human societies, their incitement is a leadership incitement, they call it a leader who tells the people, I am gone, you should come with me. Such a person is called a leader and his incitement is called a leader's incitement, and people follow him. Someone should sit down and say, go, this word has no buyer in the society, it has no buyer intellectually, experience has also shown that no one listens to the words of such a scholar, what's more, during these many centuries, there were many scholars who said go and fight, Jihad is very good, but no one listened. , but the one who comes forward will go to prison and says, "I'm gone, come on, they will listen to him."
Awakening the people depends on leadership, not on science alone and research alone and the like; If someone was a reformer of the nation, he awakened the universities, he was hardworking and diligent, but he did not have the ability to graduate in the science department. They follow the expert of their religion. If someone is not a deep expert in religion, even if he comes forward and says, "I'm gone, let's go," they may chase him for a few steps, but he cannot provoke the mass of people, or if he provokes, he cannot continue this movement, but that A researcher and a technical expert who is both a scientific authority and a leader, knows all expert matters and moves ahead of others in all scenes. take
