Lesson one hundred forty one :Only a name from Islam
Imam Ali( A. S. )says:
يَاْتِى عَلَى النّاسِ زَمانٌ لا يَبْقى فِيهِمْ مِنَ الْقُرآنِ الّا رَسْمُهُ وَ مِنَ الْاسْلامِ الّا اسْمُهُ، مَساجِدُهُم، يَوْمَئِذٍ عامَرَةٌ مِنَ البِناءِ، خَرابٌ مِنَ الْهُدى
Translation
A day will come for people in which only letters and drawings from Quran and a name from Islam have remained among them. Moslems' mosques are improved in view of building and are ruined in view of guidance..
Brief description
We can not say that this strange prediction has been fully proved nowadays or it is concerned with future, but surely we are witnessing some examples of it here and there and it is surprising that such Moslems complain from retardation as if they suppose that only the name of Islam' and drawings of Quran' is sufficient for them. They have accepted and applied neither Quran as a training book for man's education, nor Islam as a school' with a mental and practical procedure.
Can you find a real Islamic society has been retarded or has not been honored in the world?
