The Common People are ‘Deficient’
People who leave aside the scholars of Ahl ul-Bayt (a.s.) and refer to others in order to satisfy their selfish desires, are termed as ‘deficient’ (which means those who willfully neglect the Divine commands). They are mentioned in the following verse of the Holy Qur’an:
“Have you then considered him who takes his low desire for his god.”
(Surah al-JÄthiya 45:23)
