Can u plz leave ISLAM alone?

Dated: 25th May 2010

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.
