Desirability of Seclusion at times of corruption committed by the people of the
World
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"So flee to Allah (from His Torment to His Mercy - Islamic Monotheism), verily, I (Muhammad (PBUH)) am
a plain warner to you from Him.''

Sa`d bin Abu Waqqas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Allah
loves a slave who is pious, free of all wants and the unnoticed.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
Isolation, according to this Hadith, is recommendable for the obedience and worship of Allah. It is
particularly approved when the prevalent corruption and social intercourse endanger religion, or its implementation
looks no more feasible.

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Someone asked Messenger of Allah (PBUH):
"Who is the best man?'' He (PBUH) answered,
"A believer who strives in the Cause of Allah with his life and his
wealth.'
' The man asked: "Who is the next?'' He said,
"One who retires into a narrow valley and worships his Rubb.''
Another narration is: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"One who fears Allah and safeguards people against his own
mischief.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
Here Jihad is counted as the supreme virtue and next to it comes the superiority of a man who takes
to seclusion with this intention that he will worship Allah and keep away the evil of his animal self from the people.

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"The best
possession of a Muslim will be a herd of sheep with which he retires to the top of a mountain or places where rain is
expected to fall (pastures) so as to safeguard with his faith from tribulation.''
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary:
At a certain period of history, says the Hadith, the virus of moral corruption will spread among
people so perilously and so widely that, while living amongst them, one will hardly be able to save his religion. In
such circumstances, there will be no other alternative than to escape from cities to save religion. Today, moral crisis
faces the Islamic countries. The result is that the grip of religion over people is loosening day by day, rather they are
constantly suffering the loss of religious values and principles. No wonder the work of the establishment and
practice of religion is becoming more and more trying for the religious-minded people.
