Why calamaties?

OUR FALL

All the calamities, humiliation and failures which have befallen Muslims are the direct consequences of our disobedience and transgression. Our fisq, fujoor, bid’ah and kufr have brought about these calamities.

Our fall and degradation are the consequence of our treachery and rebellion against Allah Ta’ala. With moral reformation and  spiritual elevation comes even worldly prosperity and power.

Hadhrat Abu Bakr Warraaq (rahmatullah alayh), a very great Wali of the very early era of Islam said: “People who are in control of the affairs of the masses are of three kinds: Ulama, Umara and Fuqara. (The Ulama are the learned scholars of Islam. The  Umara are the rulers –  kings, sultans, governments. The Fuqara are the saints – the pious, the buzrugs, the Shaikhs of Tareeqat). When the Ulama become corrupt, the Deen of the masses becomes corrupt. When the Umara are corrupt, the economy of the country becomes corrupt and bankrupt. When the Fuqara become corrupt, the spiritual hearts of the masses become corrupt and darkened.”  In this age, all three of these groups are corrupt and rotten to the core, hence there is misery, corruption, degradation and humiliation in  all affairs of the Ummah.
