The first group use their tongue to cover up their corruption and the second group use their worshipping to cover up their ignorance. Therefore, beware of the corrupt scholars and ignorant worshippers. They are the ones who cause all sedition. I heard Godâs Prophet (MGB) say, âO Ali! My nation will be destroyed by eloquent hypocrites.ââ
