Dr. Israr Ahmad warns of a time when the Muslim community will be left with only the name of Islam, and the Quran will be reduced to its calligraphy and letters. He emphasizes a divine guarantee for the preservation of the Uthmani script. He predicts a proliferation of mosques that are devoid of guidance, and describes scholars who will be the worst of people, fostering discord and conflict. These scholars will be the source and destination of fitna (discord), promoting sectarianism and exacerbating differences among Muslims. He observes that a vast majority of contemporary religious leaders exhibit these characteristics.
