Imām Abū Bakr al-Ājūrrī said, ❝What do you think of a road that has been covered with many vices and evil, which the people need to traverse on a dark night? If there is light, they walk aright but if not, they become confused and perplexed. But then Allāh placed lamps for them which lit their way and so they walked upon it in safety and security. After them came large groups of people who also needed to take that path and so they took it. But whilst on their way, these lamps were blown out and they were plunged into darkness – what then are your thoughts of them? Such is the analogy of the scholars amongst Mankind. Many people do not know how to offer the obligatory deeds, how to keep away from the impermissible or how to worship Allāh except with the presence of scholars. If they pass away, the masses fall into confusion, knowledge becomes worn out and ignorance becomes widespread.❞ ~ Akhlāq al-ʿUlamāʾ
