Propagandists Distancing People From the Morality of Islam

 

… “At that period there will be some summoners (propagandists) who will call people to the gates of Hell. Whoever answers the call of these summoners, they will cast him into Hell. ‘O the Messenger, can you tell us the characteristics of this group of summoners?’ The Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) answered: ‘I will answer, they are a group of people from our nation who speak our language’.” (Mukhtasar Tazkirah Qurtubi, p.382, no. 698)

 

 

There exists a great blind and deaf commotion (that is the kind of commotion that makes one blind from seeing the truth and deaf from hearing the just), grand evil. Within this commotion, there exists some summoners (propagandists) who call people towards the gates of Hell. (Mukhtasar Tazkirah Qurtubi, p.380, no. 696)

 

 

In the near future, there will be horrible fitnahs (tribulation) that will render one blind, deaf and mute from seeing the truth, rendering them deaf from hearing the just words…In the turmoil of fitnahs the interference of language into the fitnah and its propaganda will, like a sword blow, ensure its spread.
(Mukhtasar Tazkirah Qurtubi, p.390, no. 720)

As the hadiths reveal, our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) informed us that there will be people making propaganda of immorality and irreligion. The moral and social structure of some countries in our day reveal the truthfulness of this news. Especially this propaganda carried out by advanced communication tools of our day can distance people from the morality of religion.

Besides, the deafening and muting effects of the commotion mentioned in the hadith brings to mind the oppression exerted upon Muslims in many countries. These regimes put pressure on the freedom of thought and hinder people from expressing their thoughts and beliefs as they wish. Especially, that Muslims can not express their thoughts freely in some Arabic and African countries and that they are oppressed due to their faith set example to this situation.
