Westernism Secularism


* Westernism-secularism and Islam are mutually exclusive word-views. In principle a person cannot be a Westernist and a Muslim at a time.

* Religous extermists and militants like Al-Qaeda and Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan are violating clear injunctions of Quran and Hadith regarding morality and sanctity of human life. What they are doing is not sin, it is Kufr (denial of their faith).

* Keep away from Madrasa and the Maulvi of Madrasa. Both are extremely dangerous for our religion.

* Quaid-e-Azam said, “I have one underlying principle in mind, the principle of Muslim democracy. It is my belief that our salvation lies in following the golden rules of conduct set for us by our great law-giver, the Prophet of Islam. Let us lay the foundation of our democracy on the basis of truly Islamic ideals and principles. Our Almighty has taught us that 'our decisions in the affairs of the State will be guided by discussions and consultations.'” (Sibi Darbar 1948)

    I totally agree everything but your fundamentalist accusation on madrassah system as some kind of a deadly self-abdicated cobra. No doubt we can confirm this (mythical) theory by pinpointing few mad houses here and there; and by pointing at the ills of it - but this would amount no more than a confirmation bias. One is not looking in this case at the evidence that destroys the premise. Our ulema are our honor and are spiritual and literary custodians of our religion. If they're a danger, then our tradition is a danger. Surely this comment of mine cannot at the moment refute the list of unmentioned allegation, which are often subjective and sentimental, but all i do now is to raise my voice in protest, being a student trained in western educational system.

      Very well said, dear Mr. Umer! I also agree that our Ulema are our honor and are spiritual custodians of our religion. But alas, now this tradition has undergone a tremendous decadence. They are no more custodians of our glorious tradition. As per my analysis, Maulna Hussain Ahmad Madani, Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi and their contemporaries were the last ones, whom one can feel proud of. Now, nothing left!

A Summary of Ramayana in Urdu (رامائن کا اردو خلاصہ)

Image
In Pakistan two inflows of history merge with each other. One is religious, having origin from Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem. It gives a universal spiritual message for whole humanity. We own it very deeply. The other one is that of the history and culture of our land. We live in Muslim India, which we named Pakistan. This land has a history, along with its culture and traditions, other than that of Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem. There is no reason to not own this culture and tradition, as far as it does not contradict with our religious teachings. Some (perhaps all) foolish policymakers of Pakistan want to remove our bonds with our secular history. They believe it is good for Pakistan. But weakening of our links with our secular history cannot serve us in achieving our religious goals. This summary of the story of a praiseworthy son of the land, Rama, is translated in Urdu as an effort to revive our links with our secular history. دسرتھ اجودھیا کا راجا تھا۔ بد قسمتی سے راجا ب
