most definite proofs that, though coming under the name of Islam,
certain circles are still living by the traditions handed down from
their ancestors.
Those who abide by the religion of their ancestors are stubborn
and closed-minded. No amount of reasoning can lead them aban-

senses. The following verse reveals:
When they are told, "Follow what Allah has sent down to
you," They say, "We are following what we found our fa-
thers doing." What, even though their fathers did not un-
derstand a thing and were not guided! The likeness of
those who disbelieve is that of the beast which, call out to it
as one may, can hear nothing but a shout and a cry.
Deaf–dumb–blind. They do not use their intellect. (Surat
al-Baqara, 170-171)
