general public. Quran highlights this hypocrisy by stating: Why you say
something which you do not act upon? (Surah Al-Saff, Ayat-2)
10. Tenth reason is there effort to establish a system of religious and intellectual
monopoly in the society (like Christian Church and Hindu Brahamanism).
Religious leadership conceals religious knowledge to their limited circle and
present themselves as the true interpreters of religion. Compassionate
teachings of religion based on justice, equality and human rights are
deceitfully misinterpreted to serve the interests of a particular class. Thus,
religion becomes a tool for the oppression of masses used by the ruling
class. Quran describes this problem in the following words: O you
believers! (beware that) there are many religious scholars and saints who
tactfully loot money of common people and detract them from the path
of Almighty. (Surah At-Taubah, Ayat-34)
In the present circumstances, there is a dire need to abstain from conventional
religious parties and develop a consciousness in the society about the economic
and political systems of Islam. Next step is to transform this consciousness into a
collective effort based on sincere relationship with the Almighty and compassion
for human beings which will ultimately liberate mankind from oppression and
injustice. This will pave the path to reconnect humanity with its compassionate
Creator which is the ultimate goal of Islam.
