Their Ulema — Page 1
A fter reciting tashahhud , ta‘awwudh, and s u rah al-F a ti h ah, H u du r rta recited the following verses of the Holy Qur’an: 1 1. Of a truth, they have greater fear of you in their hearts than of Allah. That is because they are a people who are devoid of all reason. They will not fight you in a body except in fortified towns or from behind walls. Their fighting among themselves is se- vere. Thou thinkest them to be united, but their hearts are divided. That is because they are a people who have no sense. Their case is like the case of those who have, a short time before them, tasted the evil consequences of their doings. And for them is a painful punishment. ( al- H ashr , 59:14–16)
