Tulûat: 87-88

Q- What impact has the jarbaza had on the thoughts of the present time?

A- Look, it is that evil that, with such fabricated pretexts, they present a foreign state — which oppresses and insults us as big as Mount Ararat — as a friend through the nonsense talks, like the statement “they aided us in Crimea on some date.” They also reduce to the lowest level the great group of mujahidin, who work for the honour and glory of Islam as big as Mount Subhan, and portray them to the nation as enemies with such absurd excuses.

Moreover, as a result of the tarbiyyah it received from Europe, the jarbaza kills the rûh of the jamâ’ah by focusing on the worst aspect and constantly driving the nation into despair, while it is beneficial to consider the best aspect of everything with the principle

خُذْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ اَحْسَنَهُ1

Moreover, by combining the weakness of aqâid into its evil, the jarbaza shows the weakest side of religious matters and prepares the ground for irreligion. It is also its result that, with a jarbaza with sophistry, they show the criticisms — which are the requirement of human fitrah — that happened among the Salaf as a form of positive rivalry or arising from the worship of haqq. By showing the criticism of each about the others, the jarbaza instils disrespect and distrust towards the great personages of the ummah and thereby undermines the sanctity of Islam in the minds.

Thus, many grievous damages like these arise from this kind of jarbaza. Whenever I think of Istanbul, the image comes to mind of an old child with a tongue two inches long and whose other limbs are deprived of growth and development.
