In spite of Allah laying emphasis on Taqwa(piety), today, Muslims
live as deaf and dumb under a rotten, deceitful and fake system of their rulers
and chiefs as if anything in a salt- mine and thus having failed to offer any
enviable example of character-integrity before the non-Muslim world. There is
an exploiting and despotic system almost everywhere thrust on Muslims to
deprive them of God-given opportunities to gain best possible access to the
highest standard of learning and serving God and humanity in the world.
On this planet of Earth,
Muslims have been endowed with masterminding the metaphysical belief of
knowledge by the All Mighty Allah and on the physical side have been granted
ownership of land, sea, energy and other mineral resources in abundance, which
they can use and share its fruits with the depressed and deprived humanity.
But, today it’s an overwhelming majority of the Muslims-the Arabs, who are
forced to quit their countries to seek shelter across Europe or America.
Obviously, they are at daggers drawn with their rulers and politicians who are
bent upon killing them ruthlessly for their self-interests. Tragically and
shamefully their rulers have left them helpless at the mercy of unruly winds—a
very cruel picture being witnessed by the Crescent world in its history of 14
hundred years.
In some countries Muslims
are in a slaughtering machine of sponsored terrorists, extremists, narrow
minded non-Muslim rulers and organizations, while in many countries they face
sectarian rage and revenge by war-lords. The conditions in Palestine and Jammu
and Kashmir are marked with grief and gloom. Zionist Israel is a sworn enemy of
the Palestinian Arabs, but at the same time Al-Fatah and Hamas don’t hesitate
to use their guns, swords and bullets against each other, and the territory
under Hamas faces frequently sieges or blockades at the behest of the agents of
imperialist powers.
In Jammu and Kashmir the
situation continues to remain terribly precarious and horrible. Here the people
have been writing a long and amazing history of resistance with their blood and
honour but every sacrifice is being tarnished and ruined at the altar of
political ambitions, opportunism, greed , and sectarianism . Hence, on the one
hand the Kashmiris are being martyred by the Indian troopers and on the other
side innocents like toddler Burhan are gunned down by so called unknown gun
men. It’s all against the best traditions of Ibrahim AS and the last Arafat
Sermon (Khutbah HajtulWida) delivered by our beloved Prophet PBHU. Muslim
rulers and statesmen have neither fear of Allah, nor clout nor wisdom to
protect their brothers in these dark times. They are not ready to sacrifice
their personal ends for Islamic and national interests, with the result the
imperialists of the East or the West take advantage of the worsening situation
in the crescent world.
These reasons have forced
millions of the Muslims to fleeing out of their countries to seek refuge in the
West. It’s ever dreadful exodus of the Arabs to escape from the bloody,
totalitarian, & anti democracy rulers, terrorist groups, and sectarian
war-lords. Their destination appears to be sea and the Sharks look ready with
their mouths open to gulp down abandoned and unfortunate Arab populations of
the Middle East. Drowning of a toddler Aylan Kurdi Shami with his parents in
the sea waves of Turkey is its glaring example and height of tyranny unleashed
by the totalitarian regimes in the Muslim world.
Under such ominous
conditions, it has become imperative for all Muslims who want peace, justice,
brotherhood, democracy against war, bloodshed, terrorism, totalitarianism and
slavery to articulate their collective voice for safety and security. We
believe that even the non-Muslim world will support them in their just cause
against oppression and terrorism, and not only the sun of freedom will dawn
over these regions but imperialism and totalitarianism in every form and
manifestation will be defeated to replace democratic set-up and the rule of law
of public choice. The cruel practice of throwing out the citizens from their
countries will end and the oppressed humanity will see light at every end of
the tunnel in the world. This is the aim and spirit of the Muslim Eidain. This
is Taqwa—Piety or ‘the summum Bonum’ in the light of the teachings and
traditions of the Prophet Ibrahim (AS). Qur’an and the message of our Prophet
Muhammad (SAWS) is its perfect shape called Islam from the days of the Prophet
Adam (AS)
