Disrespecting the Ulama and seniors of Deen

Hazrat Shaikh Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (Rahmatullahi Alaihi) mentioned:

Let alone showing disrespect and having ill-feelings for the Ulama and A’immah-e-mujtahideen, even disrespecting a normal person or Muslim and having ill-feelings for him is not permissible under any circumstances. Allah Ta’ala forbid, if one disrespects any of these seniors then, remember that one will lose everything. (Malfoozaat of Hazrat Shaikh pg. 62)
