The hadith says: إِذَا وُسِّدَ الأَمْرُ إِلَى غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِ فَانْتَظِرِ السَّاعَةَ (When matters fall in the hands of incapable people, wait for the Day of Judgment) (Sahih al-Bukhari 59) The prediction of this hadith has been fulfilled in the present day. Every seat is occupied by an incompetent person. What's the reason? Why have incompetent people taken up all positions? It is a fact that in today's age, all positions have been occupied by incompetent persons. Incompetent people speak a lot, they show their agreement with others and speak beautiful words. People then think that this person is appropriate for a post. A person who is truthful and fearful of God would never speak much. He would speak in a language of understatement. There is a language of overstatement and a language of understatement. The hypocrite speaks in a language of overstatement, while the truthful person speaks in a language of understatement. People are unable to analyze and become deceived by what the hypocrite says.

This is what we see in today's age. The hadith says: تُرْفَعُ الْأَمَانَةُ (An age will come when honesty would be taken away) (Al-Jami' of Ma'mar ibn Rashid  20194) Lack of honesty signals the age of hypocrisy. People will speak a lot. This is what we see these days. Every person has become the king of speaking. A truthful person doesn’t speak much and is unable to get high position.
