The Ulema of Today

Imam Ghazali (RA) complains about the Ulema of his time that they are like a strainer from which fine flour escapes and coarse flour stays in it. But today's Ulema (barring very few) are like a strainer with big holes from which even coarse flour falls down, and only that portion stays inside which is the most useless. Similarly, even if they utter something of wisdom, it is accompanied by ten such things that spread in the environment while mourning civility and nobility.
