The basic problem, therefore, is that of education- the lack of proper and
adequate Islamic education and western dominance in all walk of lives. The rise of
false leaders in all spheres of life, rise of false 'ulamma' who restrict knowledge
(al-'ilm) to the domain of jurisprudence (fiqh), they delight in endless controversy,
disputations and polemics which succeed only in making mountains out of
jurisprudential molehills in whose blind paths the gene- reality of Muslims are left
guideless and bewildered.
The misguidance lead to the emphasis on
differences between the various madahib
and to obstinate adherence to trivialities within
them, which in turn gradually incite the
modernist and traditionalist 'reformers' and
their followers to attack falsely the
mujtahidiin thereby undermining legitimate
authority, and to discredit the concept and
validity of the madhhab in islamic life.
Confusion and error in knowledge lead to the rise of
leaders who are not qualified for valid leadership of the
Muslim community, who do not possess the high moral,
intellectual and spiritual standards required for Islamic
leadership, who perpetuate the condition further, ensure
the continued control of the affairs of the community by
leaders like them who dominate in all fields.

Due To Total Neglect Of
Divine Part Religion Just
Became The Private Matter
And Relation With GOD Not
DEEN.
Separation From Devine Realm Lead To Change In Meaning
Of Ibadah To Just Daily Five Congregational Prayers , Up To
Most Nawafil, Reciting Names Of ALLAH On Beads and
Making Several Ummrah And Hajj.
Lack Of True Knowledge Lead To
Change In Meaning Of Islam, Ibadah
And Deen.
ISLAM Means TO SURRENDER , IBADAH
Means TO BECOME ABD OF ALLAH WITH LOVE
AND WILL To Become Ghulaam Of ALLAH
Rather Than A Servant Who Serves Him Part
Time During His Prayers And To The Most In
Other Nafali Ibadah.
FROM A RATIONAL VIEW POINT
If He is in reality our Creator, Master, and Sovereign and
so also of this universe, then it is equally meaningless
that His jurisdiction should be limited to the private life of
an individual and from the very point from which the
contact of one person with another commences, His
jurisdiction should cease and come to an end
Again it passes our understanding completely that if we do not need GOD
and His Guidance and direction in our family affairs, in the affairs of our
town and city, in our schools and colleges, in our bazaars and markets, in
our parliaments and government houses, in our high courts and secretariat
offices, in our cantonments and police lines, and in our battlefields and
peace conferences, then what other sphere of life is left in which He
should be needed at all?

Why should such a GOD be accepted and believed in or worshipped, Who
is either so useless that He does not give us any guidance in the affairs of
our life or (we seek the refuge of GOD in saying so) that He is so foolish
that none of his directions to regulate our affairs appear to us to be
reasonable or practicable?

Due To Change In Individual Level, Lead To Separation Of
Devine Realm From The Social Level As Well, I.E. Between
Individuals, Between Society And Individuals, Between State

Due To Globalization The Concept Of

Ideology Of Muslim States, Pakistan Is
Thought To Be A Islamic State But Its
Behaviour Is Of A Muslim State Which Is
Secular In Its Belief.

people when he said: Indeed Islaam
began as a stranger and shall return as a
stranger just as it began, so Toobaa (a tree
