Majority is Always wrong

Human beings have a state that they support what is in power, not what is right. And this a threat for their survival. Majority is blind, and they are unaware of responsibilities. They are in their comfort zones. And just because human beings prevent danger and seek comfort, they join and support the majority. But they are wrong, they have chosen the wrong path. Quran says “Majority does not know, majority are ignorant, majority does not think, majority does not thank Allah”. Maulana Rumi says that “the death of an educated person is worse than the death of 100 ordinary people”. This quote expresses that minority is right and more valuable.

Having a look at the history of mankind, we have been seeing minority on the right path. Different stories of different kingdoms prove minority to be better than majority. The revolutionists have always been in minority. The religious examples would of the prophet Noah, Prophet Abraham, prophet Moses, Prophet Jesus, Holy Prophet of Islam, Imam Ali, and others. Prophet Noah wanted to remind people about the creator of the world (Allah), and invite the people to righteous, and obedient to the commands of the creator (Allah). And then we can clearly see that minority followed him and majority rejected him. The result came that minority survived (Prophet Noah’s followers) and majority was drowned. Then comes prophet Abraham where minority accepted not to be normal anymore. And then came prophet Jesus, similar situation happened to him. The holy prophet, where his followers were scarce. Until he was in Mecca city, his followers were very less. And they were the people who tolerated hardships just to change the people, and bring positive changes in the people. And those minority was victorious and successful. They invaded many places and removed ignorance from the world. Imam Ali (A.S) and his followers were in minority. All his 11 children (Imams) have had less followers. On the other hand, the nations that were victims of cruelty had their insurgencies in minority. Majority of the people accepted the cruelty, being slaves, being killed, and other violets, but it was always the minority who showed condemnation against them. Like the black movement in parts of Europe and America. Majority was always coward. Mark Twain says that “Whenever you find yourself on the side of majority, it is time to pause and reflect”. Moreover, Imam Ali (A.S) says that “do not follow the majority, follow the truth”. If the world understands this quote completely and apply this technique in out practical lives, the world would be a better place to live in.
