Criticism of Rulers: Say “No” to Saudi Sponsored Islam!
W-Salam,
When I was in school we used to listen to Maulana Abdullah's (RA) talks and Jummuah Khutbah and often General Zia-ul-Haq (RA) used to show up because at that time Lal Masjid was the main Masjid in Islamabad as Faisal Masjid was still under construction!
He (RA) used to rip into General Zia-ul-Haq (RA)'s policies and openly criticise him for unIslamic programs and tactics and General Zia-ul-Haq (RA) just used to put his head down and listen!
Then the Saudees funded Faisal Masjid and it BECAME a classic example of Saudi Islam, i.e. NO POLITICS! let the rulers do what-ever they want....talk about all sorts of Aqeedah/Shirk/Bid'aa stuff amongst the masses BUT the rulers are above the law!
I am glad that Maulana's son have taken a stand similar to what their Father used to do!
I am glad that Islamabad is getting back to the way it used to be! Criticism and objection to rulers in their face in front of people to let everyone know that there is something wrong and there are things VERY WRONG in Pakistan at the moment!
Open criticism and objection is a sign of FREE SPEECH in Islam and this was practised abundantly in the time of the Khulafa and there have been many Scholars in Islam who have raised the slogan of Islam in abject and dire circumstances and this is the hallmark of courageous Ulama (the ones who are NOT government funded and have a back bone!)
1) So I like all Pakistanees and Muslims all over the world support the cause whole-heartedly.
2) I also support the Dawah i.e. visiting the video shops and *!*!*!*! shops and giving them Dawah to shut these stations of vice!
I however along with all major scholars of Pakistan, DON’T SUPPORT the direct confrontation with Pakistan Army…These soldiers DO NOT want to fire on Pakistani citizens and they particularly don’t want to open fire on Muslims in a Mosque!
This sort of confrontation will lead to lose of life on both sides and in the end Muslims will suffer!
Lastly I must say that Faisal Masjid (Saudi funded) is a cancer on the heart of Islamabad as when Tony Blair was visited a few months ago Busharraf government ordered Asar Adhan to be delayed so it will not interfere with Blair’s visit! There were protests all over Islamabad and Government had to issue an explanation in the local papers!
Bring in criticism to Government (and everybody else) and Dawah to the masses as they are part of Islam, but lets say NO to OPEN confrontation with the Army!
In Islam NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!
AssalaamuAlaikum,
I do not support the overall strategy of lal masjid Molanas but could anyon give me solution to the problems of prostitution all around when govenment itself not only avoids taking action but majority of parliment members are customers of such whorehouses?
There were two ways:
1- Government takes action against whore houses
2- The whorehouses keep on doing business while the people around those whorehouses become sick of such activities.
The first option did not happen EVER. The second option is not acceptable. Then? Would you lal masjid "Mullah" bashers give me solution to it?
For the people who think there is such thing called "Government" in Pakistan then FYI, there is no such thing called "Government" in Pakistan.
This Busharraf toolbox is not government but a curse to the lives in Pakistan.
Even in a worst uncivilized country, Can you imagine any Chief Justice of supreme court being treated like a 3rd class sweeper? Well, this happened in "Islamic Republic of Pakistan". It has become "***** Republic of Pakistan" not "Islamic Republic".
People are moaning that "Government writ" is being challenged by lal masjid dudes. May I ask such hypocrites where was the "Government write" when Massonic Nato forces bombed Pakistani areas and killed 80 men and children, among which 5 children were from the same parents???
May I ask where was the writ of government when such incidents happend again and again killing dozens of Innocent Muslim flowerlike children?
Hypocrites are very efficient to bark about those "Extremists, Mullahs, blaaaa blaaaa..." but they keep mum when a country like America raids their citizens.
What is more worse? Kidnapping 5 or 6 people with due respect for a couple of days or making the mince of dozens of people through missile attacks many many times?????
Why is that?
Answer: MIGHT IS RIGHT.
You can go smash the lal masjid students, then go do it.
Your tail catches fire if you ask for your due right of sovereignty from America or NATO, then keep on prostrating for them.
Lal Masjid people were not right in their action, but nobody gives a damn that their action was infact a reaction to the filth spread by government.
Same as nobody gives a damn to the dozen times raped sister of an Iraqi, but everyone condemns his reaction of suicide bombing.
