Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Rahmatullah 'alaih) sat with his head bowed down and remained quiet, not voicing any opinion. This he did out of respect and etiquette. Since he was young and sitting amongst seniors, he considered it inappropriate and
unbecoming to exhibit and flaunt his knowledge.

This is a lesson to be learnt : Although he had knowledge and although he also held an opinion, respect demanded that he listen to the views of his senior ones first. Added to this, he should not say anything until he is asked to say something. These are teachings of Islam and Shariah which have long been forgotten.

Shariah teaches us to consider and respect a person according to his rank and status, and to approach and address him at his level, in accordance with that person's intelligence and understanding.

However, due to our fall from the pedestal of civilization and humanity to the ebb of ignorance, obscenity and indecency, everything of the structure of our society is unstable and
disorderly.
