Harzat Ali, Allah be pleased with him, relates that the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
“A time will come when nothing will remain of Islam except its name and nothing will remain of the Quran except its script. Mosques will be full of worshippers, but as far as righteousness is concerned, they will be empty and deserted. Their ulema [religious scholars] will be the worst of creatures under the canopy of the heavens. Evil plots will originate from them and to them will they return.”

وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ لَا يَبْقَى مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَّا اسْمُهُ وَلَا يَبْقَى مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ إِلَّا رَسْمُهُ مَسَاجِدُهُمْ عَامِرَةٌ وَهِيَ خَرَابٌ مِنَ الْهُدَى عُلَمَاؤُهُمْ شَرُّ مَنْ تَحْتَ أَدِيمِ السَّمَاءِ مِنْ عِنْدِهِمْ تَخْرُجُ الْفِتْنَةُ وَفِيهِمْ تَعُودُ» . رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي شُعَبِ الْإِيمَان
حضرت علی ؓ بیان کرتے ہیں ، رسول اللہ ﷺ نے فرمایا :’’ قریب ہے کہ لوگوں پر ایک ایسا دور آئے جب اسلام کا صرف نام اور قرآن کا صرف رسم الخط باقی رہ جائے گا ، ان کی مساجد آباد ہوں گی لیکن وہ ہدایت سے خالی ہوں گی ، ان کے علما آسمان تلے بدترین لوگ ہوں گے ، ان کے پاس سے فتنہ ظاہر ہو گا اور انہی میں لوٹ جائے گا ۔‘‘ «رواہ البیھقی فی شعب الایمان (۱۹۰۸)» ۔

A powerful and deeply thought-provoking Hadith. It reminds us to not only hold on to the name of Islam, but to live it with sincerity and action. In times like these, it’s more important than ever to reconnect with the Quran—not just through recitation, but through reflection and practice. One beautiful way I stay grounded is by reading the Surah Yaseen pdf regularly. It brings clarity, purpose, and peace in a world that often feels lost.
