This phenomenon was foretold by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who spoke of knowledge being taken away by the death of scholars, and people taking ignorant individuals as their leaders. Students of knowledge must verify what is transmitted from scholars and interpret it in the best possible light. They must rally around the steadfast scholars of the Ummah, learn manners, and spread knowledge among the community.
