The Prophet of Allah said, 'THAT was your worship to them.'

We have often seen the message of God diluted and distorted through the various secondary sources courted by the sect leaders. Most impartial observers saw through the sophistry of the "scholars" and figured that they were always in on it when it came to distortion of God's words. The reasons for doing so were also very straightforward, in one word "subjugation". From the perspective of these fake scholars, it was always about, peer pressure, fear of losing status, fear of losing position and of course fear of the emperor were all routine motivations. But it is ironic to note that the rank and file always had enough material in their respective sect's literature to give them a wake-up call. And yet we see that almost all the members remain hypnotized by the so-called Sheiks and Imams of these sects. Here is something interesting I wanted to share;


Allah says: 

                                                                                               
                                                   - ٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ أَحۡبَارَهُمۡ وَرُهۡبَـٰنَهُمۡ أَرۡبَابً۬ا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ
"They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks as lords besides Allah……." [At-Taubah, verse 31]

When Adee Ibn Hatim (radi Allahu 'anhu), who used be a Christian, heard this verse, he said, 'O Messenger of Allah. We didn't worship them.' The Messenger of Allah (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam) said, 'Did they not make Haraam what Allah made Halaal and you listened to them; and they made Halaal what Allah made Haraam and you followed them? He replied, 'Certainly.'

The Prophet of Allah (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam) said, 'THAT was your worship to them.' [At-Tirmidhee (3/247)]

I am not going to endorse the above report as authentic simply because it fails the criteria of truth as detailed in the Quran but it should not pose any problems for those who eat up anything labeled as "Hadith" or "Sunnah". So the question is why can't they connect the dots screaming at them that they should be connected?

Whenever clear verses are  pointed out to them they look at you with that look of pity which says "You don't have knowledge" and follow it up with the conditioned response sprinkled with these very words and some of their other favorites ones like "whim" and "desire" and after calling you the customary Western-educated #@&% :) leaves them satisfied that they dealt with you as you should be dealt with. Drunk with their belief that they are the "only true" sect and they are Paradise bound.
