Dear Amir,
It's always amazing when you talk about manners, professionalism, language etc. It's always refreshing to see such sort of comments from you.
In urdu medium schools, back in history, our Pakistani students were used to study Test Papers. Every Test Paper contained remarks on the back side of its last page narrating " CHORE BHI KAHEY CHORE CHORE". This slogan was to prove that the Test Paper in your hand is genuine and all others are fake. Whenever I see your mixed, ever changing, innocent posts I recall that slogan in my mind.
You know whatever I have in my heart for ALLAH is not to be questioned to you. Hai Naa? You know that you do not have to fall in my grave or answer my deeds on judgment day. Is not it? Ok. Then leave worrying about my pitfalls. If not, then get prepared to lay down in my grave. Of course you cannot do it. Just kidding. Don't mind.
Yes every one will get to know what is real ONLY and ONLY on judgement day. If it is not a fact, all religions should have been merged in to one either it is Islam or else. This is another thoughtful issue which you again cannot understand becoz to which category of mindset you relate does not want to think on any issue except what is told to them. Good for you. Go on with this practice.
No body said here that technical, educational and economic progress jeopardize the religious faiths and practices. I Naoozbillah don't say that Jehad should not be done. As far as Jehad's compulsion is concerned I have same views as you have.
However, I believe that Jehad at Kashmir is not Jehad. I feel that Jehad has certain conditions without fullfiling such conditions any war cannot be called as Jehad. I understand that some little groups in an Islamic country cannot announce Jehad independent of the state where all such groups have own agendas and understandings. I believe that those who make state-within-state are the criminals as per state's laws. I also firmly believe that Jehad does not mean attacking every one who is not muslim. I also firmly believe that Jehad does not mean attacking some one with ammunition who is our enemy/opponent by having only opponent policies and diplomatic preferences. I believe suicidal attacks on innocents and muslims are not Jehad at all even if such muslims have killed the relatives of such attackers. (You can study the hadees shareef where two men were fighting with each other and Prophet PBUH said that both are JAHANNAMI and no one was zalim or mazloom.) So Jehad is Naoozbillah Naoozbilla not questioned in this debate becoz no muslim can do it. Rather we are talking about what is Jehad and what is not Jehad.
When imposed, yes, of course, Jehad becomes imperative but when we are weak and we know we would be defeated, we should not cause to make reasons for our own destruction or destroying the peace. This is a policy matter. Still, it has nothing to do with jeopardising the religious aspects.
The greatest person on the earth (PROPHET P.B.U.H.) did not even ask to practise Jehad Bil-Saif aggresively (that was real real Jehad) until the muslims got such progress and became able to put eyes in eyes of enemies. Until that time muslims used diplomatical efforts and went for war only and only when they were attacked personally at Madina. Maximum efforts were made to settle down the issues peacefully. Why you people forget the incident of Sulah Hudaibiya. Anyways. Every one can have different views on it.
In my view we cannot get success against those who are our open enemies unless and until we come to an advanced level in all sort of developments and this should be our most preferred task if we are really sincere with Jehad. However, this view may not be agreed by you or some others.
If I consolidate, I must say that I believe in Jehad as much you belive but
I know Jehad has so many facets and every facet is a real Jehad in itself. Jehad Bil-Saif is not called as Jehad-e-Akbar. Why we don't do Jehad-e-Akbar and always tend to talk about Jehad Bil-Saif. Do you feel we are doing other forms of Jehad.
I don't agree that the people like Taalibaan or Soofi Muhammad or Fazal-ullah are doing Jehad by killing own muslims.
I don't agree that fight at Kashmir is Jehad becoz it does not meet criteria of Jehad and had always been a political quest.
I feel we cannot find success unless we do what is required to be done for coming in competition with such nations (just as after neuclear testing India cannot become a threat to our existence but before this, it was a threat. So we have to look forward for other enemies as well).
I feel that in this era we should not and we cannot attack "every one" becoz it is the era of ammunition causing mass destruction. We should not become a reason to eliminate humans from the earth. Yes, when imposed, Jehad should be properly planned under supervision of Islamic state and meeting all the criteria requirements of Jehad.
I hope you cannot understand my view point.
Regards,
KAMRAN.
