Subject: What is the right way to protect?
Respected Faisal Qureshi Sahib,
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah,
What Isreal and America are doing to the Palestinians is certainly and
absolutely inhuman. All Muslims have a right to protest against it by all
means but it should be in a civilized manner. Isreal is doing nothing new. We
should not expect any goodness from the people who have rejected the guidance
from their Lord and killed the prophets. The one who do not honour the
propehts, why would they treat the followers nicely or even feel pity for
them. The point is that they are doing what exactly is foretold in Quran and
Sunnah about them. But me, a Muslim, what am I doing? Not a single match
between my actions and my lovely Prophet's (SAW) advice and suggestions.
What is the purpose of street demonstrations? Insulting and humiliating other
nations by burning their flags, shouting indecent slogans, asking the sitting
govt to step-down, threats, terror, traffic jam, spitting around,
etc............. Has this attitude ever solved any of our problems or is it
gonna help us in the future? ABSOLUTELY NOT... What do we lose? The support
and sympathies of thier good citizens.
Flag of any country represents its people, not a particular person. Flag of
America does not represent Bush or Obama but the people of America. Just like
the flag of Pakistan is the pride for the whole nation, it just doen't belong
to the President or Prime Minister. A lot of Pakistanis go abroad and commit
crimes, does this give a right to the citizens of that country to burn my
flag? How would I feel if other nations burn my flag (or the flag of Saudi
Arabia which is carrying sacred Kalimah Tayyabah on it) or step on it to show
thier anger.
How can I justify this action when Allah (SWT) orders me in the Quran, "O
believers, do not insult their false gods because if you do so, in return they
will insult your one true God."
Can't our street demonstrations be a source of knowledge for us and a source of
inspiration for others. We all sing "anay walay daur kay insan hum say jeena
seekhain gay".......... what am I going to teach my successors while I haven't
learnt anything from my predecessors.
I claim that Islam is the only solution to all the problems around the world.
Have I ever give it a thought that how is the world going to believe it? I
never tried to prove it to myself. Not only that I have failed to present
Islam as a solution for a single problem but in fact I have made it a religion
of problems. REASON: I have stopped honouring and stopped learning about my
God, my religion, my prophets, my Book, my history, my heroes, ..............
RESULT: I am dependent upon others' ideas, ideology, system, research,
knowledge, beliefs, quotations, etc...
what am I left with? no love, no mercy, no respect, no passion,
no dreams, no ambitions, no aims, nothing at all.......
How does the world see me now?
Religion alive - follower dead message is mercy and peace - messenger
is hostile,rude and arrogant
May Allah Almighty bestow His Blessings and Mercy upon my only friend ever,
Alicia Burger, who, with a Jewish and Christian background, was reverted to
Islam, was teased by the Muslims, was rejected by her own community and still
had a courage to think like a Muslim and to live like a Muslim.
