Believers are tempted to get involved with the hope that their situation is going to improve, but the results inevitably lead to disappointment.\u00a0 It is difficult to remain aloof as there are endless local or international disturbances taking place which are further compounded by biased media coverage and \u2018fake news\u2019.

Hence, Momineen are called to join in debates and processions to register their views, for example, by holding banners and placards or participating in long \u2018sit-ins\u2019 outside the premises of an authority. Once involved, emotions take over and we come out in large numbers to such a call.

These mostly remain peaceful but may turn ugly, with pushing and shoving, and even resulting in the arrests of out-of-control participants.\u00a0 The long-term campaigns run underground and persistently incite and brainwash believers, driving them to take-up arms which may ruin their entire lives and to a point of no return.

\n A Momin has to judge these calls very carefully and save himself\/herself from being carried away by the social disturbances which die down after a while, before they regret their involvement.\u00a0 In Islam, it is termed as \u2018 Fitna \u2019 and its initiators as \u2018 people of Fitna \u2019!

We have been cautioned to stay away from such involvements \u2013 as Ahadith say: during the Grand Occultation [1] \u2018all flags raised prior to the reappearance of the 12 th Imam -ajfj will be that of Tyrants.
