The message that elevates Islam is that God made all humans equal.. and its ones actions and piousness that makes the difference.. that was the reason Hazrat Bilal (RA) though a slave got that highest honor of Prophet’s muazzan.. this message got Islam to spread around the world for it ensures social justice and human dignity..
But as Islam spread it also got tinged by some people who sought advantage of illeterate people and instilled of their greatness due to their birth.. slowly they created such atmosphere that they made it into a system of family domination.. Some of the original founders of these dynasties were pious people but after some time they separated into highly superficial self-imposed arrogant eletion.. every one is on its own in Islam. What his/her father is of no consequence and wont help the person in the worls here after.
Islam reject these inherited piri systems. These are even worse that Brahmans of hindu caste systems. Even Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) lived, worked, sat along with sahabas but these people are like earthly Gods.. I have seen people cant sit at their level, cant turn their backs towards them.. and even in cases bow to them.. nearly all of them are sayyeds! are sayyeds better than any other muslims! These are mostly found in muslim countries with least literacy.. its time we denounce them in Pakistan and bring them down to earth and educate people they dont have to follow except Prophet (PBUH).
