LEADERSHIP WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE

1421

“Allah will not withdraw knowledge by snatching it from people, but it will taken away through the death of knowledgeable people. So that when there are no knowledgeable people left, people will elect the ignorant to be their leaders, asking them for guidance and they will issue their edicts without knowledge. They will be astray themselves and will lead others astray."

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abdullah son of Amr, the son of Al 'As who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
