Contemporary Muslim students (talib) who study in religious schools, the vast portion of their life passes in studying formal [religious] sciences. They remain denied those sciences that allow for the purification of the soul and cleansing of the heart. This is the very reason why the majority of ‘ulama expend their entire efforts in polemical disputation and conflict, and in becoming orators from whom other than sedition and corruption, no positive outcome is attained. In religious seminaries, words remain but meaning is lacking. Traditionally people used to reach meanings through the acquisition of knowledge, from which they attained the recognition of the holy essence (zat) of the Messenger of Allah. For the ‘ulama of today, and in today's madrassahs, this language (baat) is no longer there. Refinement of the soul, ascetic discipline and struggle, contemplation by way of the ‘illuminating lights’, and the highway that is mystical knowledge of the divine essence and attributes, of true principles, are totally ignored.
