پاکستان کی ترقی ، خوشحالی اور امن کے لییے کچھ بنیادی معاملات طے کرنا ضروری ھیں. اس وقت پاکستانی سوسائٹی فکری طورپرتین بڑے حصوں میں تقسیم ہو چکی ہے: ایک طرف "اشرافیہ , لبرل طبقہ" دوسری طرف "خاموش اکثریت" ؛ تیسری طرف "مذہبی شدت پسند دہشت گرد اور ان کے ہمدرد". ایسے حالات میں ضروری ہے کہ کنفیوژن کو دور کیا جائے تاکہ اکثریت ایک نقطہ نظر پر متفق ہو جائے. اور پھر تمام توانایوں کو مرکوز کرکہ عظیم مقاصد ، امن . خوشحالی . ترقی کی طرف رواں دواں ہوں. اگر ہم کچھ بنیادی سوالات کا جواب موجودہ تناظرمیں قرآن سنت کی روشنی میں معلوم کر لیں. ان پر قومی مباحثہ ہو جس میں آپ , میڈیا ، دانشور ، مذہبی سکالرز علماء ، سیاسی مفکرین ، سول سوسائٹی ، فوجی ماہرین ، قانون ، خارجہ امور کے ماہرین اور تمام دوسرے متعلقہ ماہرین اور عوام حصہ لیں . پھر جس پر سب یا اکثریت متفق ہو ان پر پھر ڈٹ کرعمل کریں تو پاکستان ایک ترقی یافتہ باعزت ملک، قوم بن سکتا ہے. بنیادی مکالمہ کےسوال >>> پڑھتے جایے >>
Firstly;
the elite and the liberals:
The elite include some fascist liberals who
consider all the religiously inclined people to be primitive hardliner,
fundamentalist, rigid extremists, devoid of intellect, ignorant bigots. They
think that religious people are the source of all the ills of society and
impediment to progress.
Secondly
the Silent Majority:
“And thus
have We made you to be a moderate community, so that (with your lives) you
might bear witness to the truth before all mankind, and that the Apostle might
bear witness to it before you.” (Quran;2:143).
This is the
bulk of population, sandwiched between Elite and Religious Extremists. They are
moderate religiously inclined but mostly non practicing Muslims. However they
consider that implementation of Islam and Shari’a will provide them social and
economic justice and save them for the tyranny of Elite and Extremists. They
revere Islam but lack in practice, laying, deception, fraud corruption is
rampant. Some practice Islam in rituals but lack in Haqooq-Al Ibad [service to
fellow beings].
They are
influenced by moderate Ulema inclined towards Sufi Islamic traditions. Since
they are not influential, their voice is lost. They comprise people from all
segments of society. Thousands have lost their lives in the terrorist attacks
by extremist militants.
Thirdly: The Muslim Militants & Their Supporters:
Majority of
Muslims desire implementation of Shari’a peacefully through democratic system.
However some extremist elements like Taliban has opted to for violence and
terrorism as means to this end. They consider killing and terrorism as
justified Islamic means, which has been rejected unanimously by all the eminent
scholars. However there are people who provide tacit support either in reaction
to the existing unjust system of rule or under influence of propaganda.
The Imams
and Khateebs of mosques enjoy considerable influence in the society. They enjoy
unrestricted freedom to talk what ever they like in the Friday sermons or in
other religious gatherings. Since mostly they have limited understanding of the
system of governance and politics, their influence has negative impact. No one
dare question them while addressing form pulpit. Unlike Middle Eastern Arabs, Pakistan
Mostly they
appear to be favouring the extremists and militants though tacitly. They do not
openly condemn the killing of innocent people; use of general phrases is used
to satisfy feelings of majority. In the supplications would pray for the
success of all struggling in Jihad and for implementation of Shari’a, which no
one can dare disagree. Though Islam does not have official clergy like
Christianity and other religions, but these Imams think that they may also get
a role or share in power once the Shari’a is implemented.
The military
or civilians rulers have always been involved in exploitation and oppression of
poor people. People deprived of good governance, social and economic justice
are ready to welcome any one who promises to address their problems. Their
expectations from people with religious overtones are high because of their
apparent piety and outlook. They fail to comprehend that governance is beyond
their capabilities, terror cannot solve all their problems.
Disjointed Society:
The society
is disjointed intellectually, politically, socially and even physically to an
extent due to yawning social and economic gap. Hence for the peace and progress,
of the pole of Pakistan
Thought
can refer to the ideas or arrangements of ideas that result from thinking, the
act of producing thoughts, or the process of producing thoughts. Despite the
fact that thought is a fundamental human activity familiar to everyone, there
is no generally accepted agreement as to what thought is or how it is created.
Because
thought underlies many human actions and interactions, understanding its
physical and metaphysical origins, processes, and effects has been a
longstanding goal of many academic disciplines including artificial
intelligence, biology, philosophy, psychology, and sociology. Thinking
allows humans to make sense of, interpret, represent or model the world they
experience, and to make predictions about that world. It is therefore
helpful to an organism with needs, objectives, and desires as it makes plans or
otherwise attempts to accomplish those goals.
On the
other hand ‘social psychology’ is the study of how people and groups
interact. The collective unconscious, sometimes known as collective
subconscious, is a term of analytical psychology, coined by Carl Jung. It is a
part of the unconscious mind, shared by a society, a people, or all
humanity, in an interconnected system that is the product of all common
experiences and contains such concepts as science, religion, and morality.
While Freud did not distinguish between an "individual psychology"
and a "collective psychology," Jung distinguished the collective
unconscious from the personal subconscious particular to each human being. The
collective unconscious is also known as "a reservoir of the experiences of
our species."
In
Pakistani society there is need to close the gap of three main groups in
‘thought’ to bring them at one platform for attainment of common goals, peace
and progress.
The three broad
categories of Muslims are mentioned in Qur’an:
“Then We
conveyed the Book as an heritage to those of Our slaves whom We chose. Now,
some of them are those who wrong their own selves, and some of them are
mediocre, and some of them are those who outpace (others) in righteous deeds
with Allah‘s permission. That is the great bounty”(Quran;35:32)
In order to
achieve, enduring peace, instead of infighting there is a need of “Trialogue” [discussion
between three groups] to close the conceptual gap & eliminate differences
in the light of intelligent application of Quran and Sunnah in the prevailing
environments. Use of Ijtehad may be resorted to by the theologians, scholars,
intellectuals & thinkers.
The Trialogue may be held at national and every
possible level in which intellectuals, political thinkers, philosophers,
theologians, academics, civil society, experts on foreign, defence, economy,
law, media, social scientists, experts in other fields and the people should
participate.
While people in power and authority formulate
committees and use the existing or new institutions for this purpose, every
Pakistani, every individual has a role to play at their level. The head of
different organizations, governmental or private can organize informal or
formal study sessions, workshops and discussions. A common man can do it
within his/her social groups. The social media can be utilised as one of the
tools. If our minds think on same lines, the straight path provided by
Quran and Sunnah, discarding self made interpretations to achieve certain noble
objectives, employing means contradictory to the teachings of Islam, common
ground can be found.
To some it may appear to be an exercise in futility,
but at least it will create awareness at all the levels, especially among the masses.
People could not be befooled with rosy false promises and hopes. The real
peaceful message of Islam, lost in the mist of extremist ideologies will be
revealed to the unaware people.
A process of religious and political awareness and
awakening will start which can partially fill the intellectual vacuum created by
corrupted thought process, as a result of our impoverished education system and
over all lack of education due to poor literacy rate.
Issues and Topics for Trialogue:
Some basic topics/questions
which need to be addressed and answered have been listed below, [answers can be found at the links given at the end or click here] the number is not
final, there always room for improvement:
- What is the purpose of existence of humanity?
- What is the purpose of creation of
- Does Islam specify some form of government like
Khilafah, kingship, or it only gives broad principles?
- Is Islamic democracy closer to Islamic concept of
Shura [consultation]?
- The present constitution of
- The “Objective Resolution” preamble to the
constitution make it Islamic in theory only?
- If the elected democratic governments fail to
implement Shari’a, is it justified to blame the constitution not the
politicians elected by people again and again?
- The recommendations of “Islamic Ideological
Council” are not implemented,
should it be revamped and made powerful?
- Will the Shari’a be based upon the madhab of
majority? If so how to satisfy the Shia’a, Deobandi, Salafi, Takfiri and
other groups?
- Is it justified to wage armed rebellion,
terrorism in the name of Jihad for Shari’a?
- Respect of international borders and treaties?
- Will
- Is it fair to establish friendly relations with
non Muslim countries for education, science, technology, trade, defence
for mutual benefit?
- What will be role of Muslims living as minorities
in non Muslim countries?
- What are human rights, according to UN Charter or
redefine?
- Treatment and rights of minorities according to
Mesaq Medina or different?
- How it is justified to kill non Muslims and
destruction of their places of worship?
- Who has the right to declare Jihad, in support of
oppressed people, state or groups or scholars?
- How the ruling “Elite” can be made to change its
attitude and behaviour to make it people friendly?
- Role of judiciary, military and other state
institutions against corruption and misrule of government?
- Electoral reforms, lack of implementation of
Section 62,63 in true spirit?
- Use of electronic voting machines?
- Lack of local body elections to develop junior
leadership and decentralization of powers?
- Most of the political leadership and rulers are
accused of being puppets of US/ foreign powers, they refute it. How to
determine truthfulness of these accusations?
- Is it justified to resort to armed rebellion
against rulers on accusations?
- How to change corrupt, oppressor rulers?
- Is it justified to form private militias for
Jihad?
- Society needs moral reformation. Who has
authority to implement “Amir bil maroof, nahi anil munkir” “Order good
works and prohibit evils” in society?
- Should government exercise some control on the
religious education, construction of mosques and appointment of
Imams/Khateebs, like Middle Eastern countries or it should be left open as
now?
- Is it justified to kill innocent people in
mosques public places, through suicide bombing and terrorist attacks to
oppose government policies?
- Should military and security forces protect
citizens or leave them at the mercy of terrorists, who claim to be opposed
to
Conclusion:
Jihad [struggle]
though not part of six articles of faith or five pillars of Islam is an
important part of faith, which has three broad categories. While majority
scholars opine that armed Jihad [qital, warfare] can only declared by the legitimate
& recognised ruler, the other two forms of Jihad i.e Jihad against selfish
desires [Jihad bil nafs] and Greater Jihad [Jihad Akbar] preaching
of Quran can be undertaken by any believer individually or collectively: “Therefore, do not yield to the unbelievers, and make Jihad (strive)
against them with this (Qur'an), a mighty Jihad (Jihad Kabira).”(Qur’an;25:52).
The Prophet (peace be upon him)
said: The best fighting (Jihad) in the path of Allah is (to speak) a word of
justice to an oppressive ruler. (Sunan of Abu Dawood:2040).
While extremist groups have shed
enough blood of innocent people on the name of Jihad, there is dire need of
Jihad against selfish desires [Jihad bil nafs] and Greater Jihad [Jihad
Akbar] through Quran. It is through
these forms of Jihad that the negative thinking, minds of people could be
changed and their energies utilised for constructive purpose to attain peace
and prosperity.
Every Pakistani, men or women, rich or poor, educated
or less educate, student or employed, old or young, religious or non religious,
liberal or secular, rightist or leftist, extremist fundamentalist or moderate, has
a role to play to conduct “TRIALOGUE” at their level. The head of different
organizations, governmental or private can organize informal or formal study
sessions, workshops and discussions. A common man can do it within social circles
and groups. The social media can be utilised as one of the tools.
To some it may appear to be an exercise in futility,
but at least it will create awareness at all the levels, especially among the masses.
People could not be befooled with rosy unachievable false promises and hopes. The
real peaceful message of Islam, lost in the mist of extremist ideologies will
be revealed to the unaware people.
A process of religious and political awareness and
awakening will start which can partially fill the intellectual vacuum created
by our impoverished education system and over all lack of education due to poor
literacy rate.
It is further hoped that as a result of logical,
intellectual discourse a common ground would emerge. Once a consensus is
reached, then it should be implemented with full zeal, to end mischief in land
[fisad fil ardh] and establish peace:
مَّن يَشْفَعْ شَفَاعَةً حَسَنَةً يَكُن لَّهُ نَصِيبٌ مِّنْهَا ۖ وَمَن يَشْفَعْ شَفَاعَةً سَيِّئَةً يَكُن لَّهُ كِفْلٌ مِّنْهَا ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّـهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُّقِيتًا
جو بھلائی
کی سفارش کریگا وہ اس میں سے حصہ پائے گا اور جو برائی کی سفارش کرے گا وہ اس میں
سے حصہ پائے گا، اور اللہ ہر چیز پر نظر رکھنے والا ہ
Whoever recommends and helps a good cause becomes a partner therein:
And whoever recommends and helps an evil cause, shares in its burden: And Allah
hath power over all things.(Quran;4:85)
إِنَّ
شَرَّ الدَّوَابِّ عِندَ اللَّـهِ الصُّمُّ الْبُكْمُ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ
یقیناً
خدا کے نزدیک بدترین قسم کے جانور وہ بہرے گونگے لوگ ہیں جو عقل سے کام نہیں لیتے
Verily, the worst of all creatures in the sight of God are those deaf,
those dumb people who do not use their intellect.(Quran;8:22 )
لِّيَهْلِكَ
مَنْ هَلَكَ عَن بَيِّنَةٍ وَيَحْيَىٰ مَنْ حَيَّ عَن بَيِّنَةٍ
جو ہلاک
ہو، دلیل پر ہلاک ہو اور جو زنده رہے، وه بھی دلیل پر زنده رہے
Who would perish might perish by clear proof, and he who would live might
live by clear proof(Quran;8:42 )
قَالَ
رَبِّ انصُرْنِي عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْمُفْسِدِينَ
پروردگار!
اس مفسد قوم پر میری مدد فرما
“My Lord, aid me against these mischievous people.(29:30)
إِنَّ
اللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ
وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ سُوءً
“…
surely Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change their
own condition”; (Quran;13:11 )
