But it worked against you. It so happens that I came across this verse that aptly describes what is happening. It addressed the munaafiqun (hypocrites) of Madinah who at the time were prone to swearing their “oath of fealty” to the Prophet (P) but break it at the first opportunity, but it is applicable to the current situation.

“They [the hypocrites] have made their oaths a screen [for their misdeeds]: thus they obstruct [men] from the Path of Allah: truly evil are their deeds.” (Quran: 63: 02)

Allah is truly Most High, for moving the heart of the ustaadh to reveal the true nature of the “oath” ceremony which turns out to be nothing more than a sham. Ameen!
