English Translation of Al-Quran

[20].Surah Taha [Tâ-Hâ]

Ayat 85. (Allah) said: "Verily! We have tried your people in your absence, and As-Samiri has led them astray."

Ayat 86. Then Mûsa (Moses) returned to his people in a state of anger and sorrow. He said: "O my people! Did not your Lord promise you a fair promise? Did then the promise seem to you long in coming? Or did you desire that wrath should descend from your Lord on you, so you broke your promise to me (i.e disbelieving in Allah and worshipping the calf)?"  

[Tafseer] He replied: "Behold, they are close on my footsteps: I hastened to thee, O my Lord, to please thee." (Allah) said: "We have tested thy people in thy absence: the Samiri has led them astray."  Who was this Samin ? If it was his personal name, What was the root for "Samiri"? If we look to old Egyptian, we have Shemer = A stranger, foreigner. As the Israelites had just left Egypt , they might quite well have among them an Egyptianised Hebrew bearing that nickname. That the name Shemer was subsequently not unknown among the Hebrews is clear from the Old Testament. In I Kings, we read that Omri, king of Israel, the northern portion of the divided kingdom, who reigned about 903-896 B.C., built a new city, Samaria, on a hill which he bought from Shemer, the owner of the hill, for two talents of silver, the promise of Allah and the promise of the people of Israel . They form one Covenant, which was entered into through their leader Moses. Allah's promise was to protect them and lead them to the Promised Land, and their promise was to obey Allah's Law and His commandments. (Then Moses went back) when Moses went back (unto his folk) with the 70 men and heard the sound of the sedition, he became (angry and sad. He said: O my people! Hath not your Lord promised you a fair promise) a true promise? (Did the time appointed then appear too long for you) did I exceed the appointed time, (or did ye wish that wrath from your Lord should come upon you) should become prescribed upon you, (that ye broke tryst with me) that you went against my promise?   

English Translation of Hadith  

Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-Aas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Verily, Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it from the people, but He takes it away by taking away (the lives of) the religious scholars till none of the scholars stays alive. Then the people will take ignorant ones as their leaders, who, when asked to deliver religious verdicts, will issue them without knowledge, the result being that they will go astray and will lead others astray.''

[Al-Bukhari Book 01, Chapter 03, Hadith # 100] 

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Taha Ayat 85."We have tried your people in your absence" It is a sign of the nearness of the Day of Judgment that the world will be deprived of genuine religious scholars, and illiterate people will become leaders who will have neither the knowledge of the Qur'an nor that of the Hadith. Despite their ignorance of the Qur'an and the Hadith, they will be called Mujtahid (jurist entitled to independent reasoning) and Imam (leader) and will mislead people with their legal opinions and self-created problems. Besides urging us to acquire religious knowledge with a view to producing more scholars in the society, this Hadith also warns us against the ignorant self-styled `Ulama'. It also warns us against entrusting religious leadership to them.
