Concern:
Once again the Muslim world has been struck, this time harder than
before, same nerve severely injured yet again, it’s as if we have become a
playground for the ‘so-called’ developed countries of the world. Sometimes it’s
an anti-hijab movement, and then it’s about confiscating our rights, supporting
atrocities of the highest ranks, and for some time now they have come down to
the most lowly acts of (na’ozobillah) burning our Holiest Book and creating
false images through animation / film of the one whom we respect more than our
own lives or anything in this world, our beloved, most respected, most
honorable, Prophet Hazrat Mohammad Sallallaho Alaihae wa Alaihe Wassalam
(peace be upon him).
To 'them':
Okay, so I want to ask the "Film/Trouble Maker(s)" and
I’ll come straight to the point, “what
are you testing us for through these continuous attempts?” You have no
other topic left in the world to mock and imitate? you want to aggravate
our emotions, propagate detestation, hurt us, make us resist, create hatred in
us, lower our tolerance level, see how much will is left in us to defend our
belief, how much sweat and blood can we give in the name of religion, make us
look bad, create anti-peace environment, make us fall behind on keeping up with
the rest of the world, deprive us of scientific researches and modern
technologies, and the list could go on and on…so pick your choice!
News flash, we are not some brain-dead zombies who will keep going
in the direction you lead us to. We (at least most of us) fully understand the
intentions behind these acts and will not stop in revealing the true faces of
those creating nuisance through these obnoxious acts against humanity.
To you,
it doesn't even matter that you are making the entire nation, which you
parasite on, look 'really bad' when it’s not actually their fault (apart from the
fact that ignorant people exist everywhere in the world and in some places in abundance), you and the government(s)/institutions/groups/individuals
involved with you are to be blamed. It’s you who is the true culprit and those
who are supporting you in whichever way who are responsible and should be
penalized accordingly. You fake being associated to any religion when your only
aim is to create disharmony amongst the people of the world. Or else tell us
where in the Bible it is written to mock other Prophets or hurt feelings of
people belonging to different faiths? Your agenda is well-rounded and you have
become an expert in leaving no loop holes, at least that is what you like to
imagine. Your bubble will burst soon. Let it be known, your days are numbered!
The damage
has been done and the time for “sorry” has long past! Our patience has been
tested beyond limits. You have crossed the last boundary! You destiny awaits
calamitous consequences of your actions. And even if you are saved by your
friends given protection of the highest level (although they are famous for
deserting their allies when they are in trouble) even then God definitely will
send His wrath upon you and the world will see you suffer.
“Indeed, those who abuse Allah and His
Messenger - Allah has cursed them in this world and the Hereafter and prepared
for them a humiliating punishment.”
Al-Ahzaab (The Combined forces),
Verse 33:57.
Translation: 33:57. Al-Quran
A Question:
I’d like to put up a question for all thinking minds, especially
referring to the most recent ‘movie’ incident. Throughout history we (Muslims)
have been termed as ignorant, illiterate,
emotional, brutal terrorists and so many other outstanding titles have been
given to us, by this certain group who is immaculately supported and who is reared
in the laps of few very well-known
developed countries. Their cause and efforts have been supported immensely; so
much so that a term has emerged (which we have been seeing fruits of)
christened as – Freedom of speech, under the umbrella of which every
illegitimate act of hate and ignorance becomes legal and fair! Now the question
is, having been through numerous attacks on our religion and everyone/thing
related to it did you ever, even once in history heard us come out with
hate-messages for (na’ozobillah) Prophet Jesus (Hazrat Essa, peace be upon
him), Lady Mary (Bibi Maryam, Peace be upon her), the Bible, Torah or any other
related manuscript/person? (And I am not referring to the plotted agents who
disguise themselves as Muslims and creep amongst us with evil agendas), I think
‘never’. So tell me then, who is the real
ignorant, illiterate, emotional,
brutal terrorist??
Freedom
of speech should have some time-out (that’s it!) borders, sadly these issues
have generated from within those countries who like to be referred as the
flag-bearers of keeping intact ‘ethical/moral/human-values’. It’s sad how an
entire nation is engulfed in being referred to as ‘an enemy’ because of the malevolence
of some. On the other hand, we salute
those who are awake towards their responsibility and are making an obvious
effort to show their grievance over these acts. Our Pakistani Christian
community (and other religious communities’ existing in Pakistan)and people
with true faith all over the world including the United States of America,
England, Germany etc. have stood with us in registering their petition for
putting a stop to these evil crimes against religion and humanity.
To 'us':
It is great that Muslims
from the whole world (except a few) came out to record their protest against
this huge act against humanity. It is indeed the crime of epic proportion. But
this is not the first time, is it? Why is it that we are unable to understand
these plots made by our enemies? It is so evident and most of us know these
things yet we fall in their trap constantly (almost all the time!), for example,
we know that they don’t want Islam and the Muslim world to expand and flourish
for which they scheme the most cunning and calculated plans and for those they
use our own black sheep whose loyalty they are able to purchase in exchange of
a few worldly riches and rewards. Their hired dogs then either get into the
government or otherwise mingle with the activists and general public/groups,
especially and unfortunately in the form of religious clerks (not generalizing
but whom we blindly follow in the name of faith) to create havoc, panic and
chaos in the name of processions, riots, freedom and rights!. Since,
unfortunately they are part of our society they are blended in so well that
they are unrecognizable. Once a good deal of panic has been created with mass
murders, poverty and unstable security situation these global enemies
themselves then appear as the ‘messiah’ in the form of welfare and peace
organizations/savior of humanity and due to the disturbed
“unmanageable/uncontrollable” situation they are given an easy access to come
and “help” tackle with this mayhem, and the poor general public who is deprived
of all basic needs/rights of living fall easily in their master-mind traps, ones
they have an easy access where they are actually “welcomed” into a country (we
have latest examples of Iraq, Afghanistan etc.) they have all the ethical
rights and permissions to take all “necessary” actions to make “peace” … and in
the process get hold of lands and resources then plot their offices and with
the passage of time basically gain overall control. The sub-Continent too was a
victim of this kind of occupation for over 200 years! Yet we don’t make efforts
to condemn these sorts of actions which we are ourselves are to be held
responsible.

Funny thing is we
have kept ourselves aloof for so long that by now they have gained much, too
much control. Everywhere we look it’s these guys sitting at the key decision
making controlling positions whether it’s the cyber world, peace-making
agencies, FMCGs, medicines, media, education and so on and so forth. So
much so that the international language which is the medium of expression is
also from their part of the world! They make sure they keep us deprived (and by
us I mean the Muslims) and especially those regions where they know that if
awareness spreads, the people will become a nuisance for them and create
hindrance in their ‘Hunger for world domination’
– The New World
Order.
Let’s take an example
of one (from numerous) of their control mechanism. In these times almost
everything is operated/controlled/monitored by computers. It has become next to
impossible for anyone not to use computers for one thing or the other, in a
matter of saying we are enslaved by the cyber world. So even when we are not a
computer-use even then we have our cyber presence in the form of our IDs which
have been made computerized! We have become so dependent on these machines that
these days someone need to know something without thinking twice they say “lets
Google”, so ‘Search=Google’, now what is Google? It is simply “World-Wide data”
regarding literally “everything” present in this world collected easily through
“World Wide Web-WWW”. You want to know about people, places, latest reports,
scientific research, religion, history, your Grandma’s house, you just type the
name of the search item and within Nano seconds it will give you a thousand… no
wait Billions of results to find your information. Question is how did they do
this? Those who are making it happen are actually some genius minded
hardworking intellectuals but who are the masterminds behind them, they are the
control seekers the enemy of all positive actions, the dispute creators! This
“ease” that they have created for the general public is actually to get to know
the people of the different regions, their habits, customs, bonds, values,
traditions etc. No company or even small group and now individuals (through FB,
Tweeter etc.) can stay away without having a virtual identity and this is all
in the name of Globalization. Since we have to coup up with the world we need
to be “Global citizens” because of which we need to have a “Global identity”
and when you need to shine on the global standard you need to let people know
who, what, when, why and where and when you do all of this gets stored in the
bottomless pits of the “World Wide Web” whose keys and final administrations
rest with none other than the power hungry followers of evil. So why do you
think every site that you visit has login requirements? Because on the face
value its ‘for your security’ but for them it’s a tracking devise, why else do
you think that when you are logged on to one account of Google any other Google
related site that you login on whether YouTube or the search engine your ID
appears on top of the related page without you entering it there! It’s because
all data is connected in one pool. And then when trying to get out of the grasp
of this web, why is it that no matter how much our students try and produce
local services or produce any scientific or research based
device/object/mechanism why doesn’t it rise and gets publicized the way it
should? And even we also have doubts if a local comes up with a brand new idea;
we always question its authenticity instead of supporting the cause. A good
friend informed me that Pakistan alone supports Google with $1 Billion annually
and in the next 3 years Google expects $5 Billion market in Pakistan! And what
are we getting in return? And let me remind you it is the same Google which is
not removing the Anti-Islam movie even after all these protests and petitions.
Even if it is information which we are receiving from them, why can’t we be
creative enough to create something of our own? If Google is shut down in
Pakistan, will we be stranded and information-less! It will be a sad plight
indeed to see ourselves become puppets and suffer at the hands of all those
whose only purpose is to parasite on us, return us with garbage and take away
all the goodness from our lives! Did we have no life before Facebook or Google?
Instead of becoming a Global Citizen in this ‘cheap’ way we should increase our
talent, get educated, respect our nation and increase count of ‘aware’ people
by sharing pure unadulterated knowledge with each other and then shine as the
Global Citizen and as a representative of our country vis-Ã -vis Islam.
Question
is why I am telling you this story? Don’t think I have
digressed from my original topic; it is only ‘negligence’ from these above and
below mentioned facts which makes us face consequences that we are experiencing
every day.
Our youth is being
poisoned by too much entertainment, easy, accessible, unrated entertainment. Movies!
Where the hero is a super man who never dies and the heroine is worth a
thousand murders and ten thousand bullets!! Unfortunately many style statements
emerge from these movies and followed blindly by people all over the world
despite the fact that most of them are against what is required of our
appearance by Shariah. Music! why has so much music entered in our lives,
originally it wasn’t like people were listening to music 24/7, it was kept for
leisurely hours and occasions but now from our alarm clocks to mobile tones to
business centers to shopping malls to houses to cars to toys to everywhere all
the time. Why? And human nature is such that we wear out things pretty quickly…
so why not music, old music mixes with some modern tones and gimmicks and viola
new music but still music! Do we even
for a moment consider why music was ordered ‘Haram’ in Islam? Please think why
it is so difficult to let go, to stay away! Even watching a simple TV show has
become difficult with all the unrated Adult advertisement being shown over and
over again, watching TV (local or otherwise) is no more a family affair and yet
naïve/ignorant people don’t even bother to change channels or turn the
television off in front of kids. Worst is to watch non-sensical advertisements
in the middle of religious programs. It is all because of the negligence of the
owners of the media channels and the people who are sitting at the sensor
boards getting nice pay checks and getting sold at the hands of Marketers. The
most popular and “respected” people of our societies are no more scientists and
doctors but they are musicians and actors! And they get paid so well, better
than a lot of other professions, why? It is because these people are fulfilling
their evil agendas beautifully by misguiding and mesmerizing us towards a
horrible dreadful doom. We, being so absorbed in this pleasurable lifestyle
think if we try to stay away from these things we are ‘depriving’ ourselves of living
our life! We think living life as per the teachings of Quran and Sunnah is
boring and outdated; there are too many restrictions! It’s the work of mullahs
and madrassa going burqa cladded khwaharans (sisters) to follow that ‘conservative’
lifestyle! …. Well, I can go on and on with the cruelty we have done with
ourselves as Muslims by not following the commands of Allah(swt). How many
times have we actually sat down and ponder upon the true meaning and purpose of
life? We have submerged ourselves so much in ‘their’ culture that we think this
(how most of us are living in this age) is the real lifestyle. Examples of negligent
Muslim nations with this (so called modern) kind of mind set are evident, how
they transformed from an Islamic to a so-called Islamic … in reality a poor,
deformed, mimicked, Western/liberal/modern society.
The most ironical
moment in a person’s life is when due to their negligence they don’t even realize
they are being used and misused! Especially when ‘Educated’ people are acting
in this manner that all they do is criticizing whatever happens around them,
sitting in the luxury of their drawing rooms. Our problem is that we live in a
constant fear and shadow of these powers around us, we are afraid that if we
adapt to the Islamic way of life this world would sideline us and we will lose
our place in the society. And to be honest partly I agree that these will be
the consequences, because a society which is comprised of borrowed values and
low standards will never accept a person with high order thinking, a person who
thinks not only of near future but life after death the eternal life and relies
on the interminable fruits he will receive from the Master. Islam has never
asked its followers to even hurt the tiniest of the living creatures or to turn
their backs to the world and live the life of a hermit.
The one simple goal we
are to achieve as Muslims is to please our Lord and put Him first in whatever
work or way of life we are to follow, to work on His teachings.
All of the incidents
like the one which this article is conceived from, are made to happen due to
the negligence of the people. We (almost all of us) follow (almost)
“everything” blindly whether it’s for the sake of the country/religion or for
making our lives ‘modern’. I love how
‘Liberal’ Muslims are now using a
borrowed term so frequently as part of their own or for someone else’s
introduction, “Non-Practicing Muslim”, I literally don’t know whether to laugh
out loud or to cry on the irony of this statement. Well my dear fellow Muslims
please understand this, either you ARE a Muslim or you are NOT a Muslim! There
is no other term to express this statement. Please don’t go on blabbering about
religion, at least religion, when you don’t know about it, it’s not some
laissez-faire that you can say whatever comes in your mouth (and I am not
saying brain intentionally!).
Situations, like the
one under discussion, are created to test the reaction of the Muslims, (we are
no more than lab rats for them) how many people from which countries will react
in what way! And our reaction is (almost) NEVER right for us!!! But it is just
the right reaction for them because this is exactly the kind of response they
want from us. Killings, lootings, damaging, riots! We repeatedly fall for this
game and never ask a serious WHY?? You want to know why, because we lack
leadership because we try to find leader in others, most of who unfortunately
are the hired agents of these evil groups. At the end of the day it’s pretty
much an individual deed, because we all have to go in our individual graves and
be answerable for our individual act where we will be asked of how we answered
the call of religion! What we forget is the power of the individual,
which is where we need to begin with, to know, understand and apply in our
lives our rights as human beings, as Muslims, as individuals, as a nation. Once
we have done that then these combined individual powers will join to become one
pure, enlightened, wise, true and faithful force which will emerge as a
powerful group against all sorts of evil. We will take no dictation from anyone
and we will choose the government members wisely, those who will be the true
representatives of this nation. Please let us find the true, honest and God
fearing leader within ourselves for ourselves first and then take this
thought/mission further into our homes, neighborhood, workplaces, community,
institutions and then to every nook and corner of the Muslim world and to those
who believe in the truth.
Let me bring to your
kind attention one more very evident fact which is, that much of what is
happening has actually nothing to do with our religious beliefs, accept
for they know that if we follow the true guidance of Islam we will be out of
their mind control, but apart from that it is wholly solely about MONEY,
about consumerism about gaining all the natural and other
available resources including cheap labor from us and give these back to us on
really high costs in form of products. We, people of the Third world are the
actual consumers of all the junk that they create in the developed countries;
we are the ones making them filthy rich!
“And those who harm believing men and believing
women for [something] other than what they have earned have certainly born upon
themselves a slander and manifest sin.”
Al-Ahzaab(The Combined forces), Verse 33:58. Translation: 33:58. Al-Quran
Here again we need to
realize our power of what we can do if we consume “smartly”. Those of us who
have ample to spent and even the once who just want to be in this race of fake
show-off always want to purchase the ‘international’ brands, if we have to
consume why not consume what is made in our own countries, unless it is
something of need which we do not produce. If we do start doing that one of the
benefits would be that we will start producing more goods which means more
people will get jobs. But all of it is possible if we think and act smart.
Suggested Solution:
REALIZE ---> WAKE-UP ---> UNITE
Now some of you might
say what can ‘we’ do about this we are totally bounded by the system! …. The answer
to that my dear fellows is that those bounds exist only in our heads, let me
share a small story with you. There is a country where elephants are used for
doing all heavy lifting and other work so what the people there do is that in
order to tame to make the wild elephants ‘obedient’ from when they are
still very young, they tie one leg of the elephant to a peg in the ground with
chains and each day as they grow, whenever they come back from work they are
tied to that peg and eventually the elephants fall for that routine until there
comes a time when even they are not tied to that peg they consider themselves
tied and remain standing/sitting in that same spot like a harmless pet and no
matter how big and powerful they are the humans are able to control them
without a hint of difficulty! … Do I need to say further?
What we need today is
Education (for the sake of knowledge more than anything else), thinking minds,
passion for humanity and our real cause, loyalty, faith, awareness and the
like.
Mothers, Ah! Mothers
can play such an amazingly vital role by teaching manners of spending the real
life to their young kids while they sit in their laps so that they grow up to
be real, actual, unaltered, pure, natural humans.
I read ones that “the
presence of a senior citizen (old persons) in a society is like that of a
prophet”. So perhaps all our elders need to realize that role and start propagating
the right messages with the right tones at the right times.
