VII. Signs That a Person Who Has Put Himself Forward Is Not Qualified

Excerpt:

It is sufficient of a danger to put oneself forward before becoming qualified that a person has been impressed with himself and considered himself ready for this and thus is exposing himself to destruction. There are a few signs which show that a person is not actually qualified when he has already stepped forward to teach.

From them is that he is pretending to have what he has not been given. He is proud, considers himself great and does not care if the consequences of him speaking are the fitnah, bloodshed and ruin of the honour and reputation of the Muslims. And this is exactly what is happening in our day and time; there are people stepping forward to speak about the religion of Allāh without any knowledge and thus they are those who are calling to evil and inviting others to fitnah. These people did not grow up amongst the scholars and so they were hasty in putting themselves forward to speak on behalf of the religion and the result of that is that they brought about corruption.
