even know that rulings even exist! It is a strange environment all around. In these dire times, we should not only acquire the religious knowledge ourselves but persuade those too who are under our influence.

If every parent to their children; every teacher to his students; every Peer (spiritual guide) to his disciples, and every person in command to their subordinates persuade them to acquire religious knowledge, then within a short span of time, religious knowledge will spread all around and observance to Shar’iah will become the norm.

You can get a gist of how delicate our situation nowadays is from the fact that once, a large number of jewellers were gathered at one place. When it was enquired from them in detail regarding the way they trade, it was concluded that around 80% of the methods of trading gold and silver now a days were contrary to the rulings of Shari’ah. Regrettably, it is the same case in other trades and fields of employment too. When our situation is critical to such extent, then every individual can realize his responsibility. Therefore, it is necessary upon every person to acquire religious knowledge and teach it to others as much as possible, or should lead them to this path. (Siraat-ul-Jinaan, vol. 6, pp. 290)
