Dear
all. Today I need some long time from u to spend for reading my blog post………………and
with all ur concentration. After sending my latest mail about my decision of
not using face book anymore, I received different kinds of reactions. For the
very first time I have got a huge bundle of mails regarding the receivers’
feelings about the decision I took. The most disturbing was from one of the
friends, who wrote “Dear
Noryn, I would like to see the link where facebook has announced this, I have
not seen any such thing on facebook which has been created by them. And in
future when you announce such issues, I would recommend proper sources are used
to verify the details pointed in your email.
I am assuming people are given powers to create applications on facebook and
this must be one of these application. And to get it removed should be our
agenda not to close the door, even our prophet (PBUH) never moved away from
problems. Islam doesn't teach us to run away. If you remember the simplest of
things Prophet (PBUH) went to the female's house who threw rubbish on him, it
was his (PBUH) ways that won the heart. “.
What
actually bothered me was, the feeling of helplessness, as the friend possesses
an MBA degree and working as a high profile professional with a national electronic
tv channel…………….and the level of knowledge about Islam and Muhammad PBUH, was
so little that I felt like crying. Now whatever I wrote might not b liked by
him, BUT I HAVE TO SAY WHAT IS RIGHT, SPECIALLY NOW,
WHEN ISLAM IS IN DANGER, ONLY BECAUSE OF SUCH SURFACE KNOWLEDGE HOLDER SCHOLARS OF QURAN AND
SUNNAH.
The
other day, Mr.Kamran Khan was also trying to make fun of Pakistani Muslims’
feelings in a discussion with a Software Engineering Expert Ms. Jahan Ara. Who also
gave the same example of Muhammad’s patience about the lady who used to throw
garbage on him PBUH.
Before
going further, I want to raise a question here, which is from all of the
experts of their fields…………If someone does not have minimal required knowledge
of a particular field, could he be granted decision making job of that
department?
If
answer is No, then please I would like to beg u, that start thinking like this
for Islam also. Anyone giving his remarks about Islam and Quran starts the
statement by saying “Though I am not a religious
scholar but…….” So if u r admitting u don’t know much about Islam how
cud u give such remarks about Prophet’s likeness and dislikeness.
I
don’t want to say anything else, only writing some questions, which will tell
us that we must b lacking somewhere, which is causing a great harm to Islam as
well as our life hereafter.
1. Why Muhammad PBUH was
sent to us? Only to prove himself a very generous and loving person to the
creation of Allah SWT?
2. If Muhammad PBUH had to
project his qualities only, why was he given Quran?
3. When the lady who used
to throw garbage on Muhammad PBUH, got sick he PBUH went to see her, but why
Ghazwah- e- Uhad and Ghazwah-e-Tabook was fought? Why didn’t Muhammad PBUH
showed the same patience to non muslims at that time?
4. We consider ourselves
Muslims because we believe in Quran, as our holy book. When the sura e toba
comes, we r not allowed to say Bismillah, did u ever ponder why? (Answer of
this question will surely eliminate dissatisfaction of my friend, which he
mentioned)
5. If I want to get my PH.D
degree, I will do whatever I will be asked to prove myself eligible for that
certificate, can’t even think of getting along with short cuts, but to prove
myself a Muslim I never try to directly consider Quran and Hadith or Sunnah,
and I am always satisfied with the indirect knowledge communicated to us. Are
we not behaving like cattle, according to Quran?
6. Why we always try to
conquer non Muslims’ hearts, but they don’t even give a thought to our effort
made to make them happy? Isn’t it because we don’t know our religion much, so
are unable to convince them, even our own selves?
7. We benchmark west and
Europe, for almost everything, did u ever notice how careful they are in using
internet, and media, and how much time they spend to make it as much productive
as possible for their children, but we never tried to learn anything ourselves,
but what they taught us. Now tell me what facebook and you tube gave us, only
Baypardagi and unnecessary curiosity about others lives, and waste of time….do
we actually learn good things from non muslims or we tell lies to ourselves? I
challenge u all, a very few of us know the sites which we can use for
educational purpose for our children and rarely make them surf those……..i wish
I am wrong…but ratio could not b more than 2:98.
8. No one knew about KHUDA
K LIYE and VIRSA, before GEO highlighted about the movies, that shows if a
powerful support is not given, nothing could succeed, those who object that
facebook is not involved directly, would they mind telling that couldn’t they discourage
the idea rather than promoting?
9. For every business even
a penny matters, how could our experts say that the loss will be done to
facebook is very negligible for them, if they still persist, why BBC News
bothered to announce the losses?
I
hope, u can understand this post does not aim to point out any individual, but
as a nation and as an Ummah we need to wake up now and we must start learning
ISLAM now. I request the media specially that either leave ISLAM alone or learn
it properly, otherwise here we can give statements according to our wills and
wishes but on the day of judgment, no body will come to support our wrong
arguments and would b able to save us from Allah’s annoyance. May Allah show us
all the right path. Ameen.
