THE NATURE OF BARZAKH -No:17- Statement of ‘Alim Kandi




For those who adhere to rules without question - whom Bader refers to as "fools - rules act as a substitute Judgement, reducing complex situations to simple, black and white decisions. This obedience can prevent chaos and maintain societal norms, but it also stifles creativity and critical thinking.

The phrase "the majority of the ignoble" is not a standard or commonly used expression. "Ignoble" typically describes something that is dishonorable, base, or of low quality. Therefore, "the majority of the ignoble" would refer to the greater part of a group or collection that is considered dishonorable or base. 

For example, one might say "The majority of the ignoble actions were carried out by a small group within the organization," meaning the bulk of the dishonorable deeds were committed by a few individuals.

When individuals sever ties with their family and actively wish them ill, it can be described as family estrangement, a complex and painful experience. This can involve a complete cessation of contact, a situation that persists even when the estranged family members attempt to reconnect. Estrangement is distinct from typical family conflict, characterized by a deliberate and lasting break in the relationship, often accompanied by negative feelings and a desire to harm. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

  • Estrangement vs. Conflict:

Estrangement is a more severe form of family disruption than simple conflict or emotional distance. It involves a conscious decision to cut off communication and relationships, often due to deep-seated negativity and unresolved issues. 

  • Causes of Estrangement:

Estrangement can stem from various factors, including mismatched expectations, clashes of values, emotional abuse, or even physical or sexual abuse. Narcissistic personality traits in family members can also be a significant trigger, leading to a desire for control and manipulation. 

  • Impact of Estrangement:

Family estrangement can be incredibly painful and isolating, often described as a "living loss". It can lead to feelings of grief, anger, sadness, and guilt, even when the decision to estrange is made for self-preservation. 

  • Mending the Rift:

While estrangement is a deliberate choice, it doesn't always have to be permanent. Some individuals may later seek reconciliation, while others may find that cutting ties is the only way to protect their well-being. 

  • Seeking Support:

Individuals experiencing family estrangement may benefit from professional guidance and support groups to help them navigate the emotional complexities of the situation and develop healthy coping mechanisms


This statement appears to be a reference to an incident involving Alim Kandi and Abu 'Abbas. Primarily focus on Islamic historical and religious events, specifically the life and journey of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the significance of Masjid Al-Aqsa. Without further information, it's difficult to determine the exact meaning or relevance of Alim Kandi's statement.

‘Alim Kandi has stated that he was sitting with Abu ‘Abbas on the roof of a house. On seeing some people who were abandoning the city for fear of an epidemic, he said:“‘O epidemic, take me with you.” He repeated the sentence thrice. When ‘Alim Kandi heard him say so, he asked him if he had not heard from the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) that nobody should wish for death, because death puts an end to action and a person loses the opportunity of repenting, and thereby seeking the pleasure of God. Abu ‘Abbas told that he had heard from the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) that one should hasten to leave the world before the following things happen:—

(1) Rule of the foolish.

(2) The majority of the ignoble.

(3) Traffic of judgments.

(4) When murder is taken lightly.

(5) When the people break off relations with their kindred and wish them ill.

(6) When the people increasingly develop a taste for reciting and hearing the Holy Qur’an after the mode of singing. (Jbn-eAbdubar-Marozi-Ahmad-T abrant).
