10. The Clarity Issue: Why Has Clarity Become Something to Be Criticized?
Over the past years, some people have tried to belittle this issue of clarity, calling those who value it “Aṣḥāb al-Wuḍūḥ” (the People of Clarity) as a form of mockery. However, they do so in order to keep Ahl al-Sunnah, their students and common folk, ignorant and deprived of a criterion so that their own erroneous ways are not exposed and so they can continue to keep a grip on their followers’ minds and hearts and direct them where they wish. This is because they praise or sit with disparaged people or have ties to factions (aḥzāb) engaged in politics, behind closed doors, while showing another face to the public. Further, they undermine the role of reports, and threaten people against narrating things from them that would implicate and expose them. Hence the war against clarity (wuḍūḥ): they thrive in ambiguity, obscurity and evasion.
