Few days back my ancient IRC friend messaged me on MSN an Urdu link of BBC news with a message that “ye hota hay mardoun wala kaam aur khali dekh kar namaz parhna bari baat nahin” means ‘This is the thing which is done by men. Offering namaz by copying is not a big thing”. I laughed when I read his message after visiting the link. I don’t have Urdu version of that link but do have an English version. From BBC:
Turkey is preparing to publish a document that represents a revolutionary reinterpretation of Islam - and a controversial and radical modernisation of the religion.
I didn’t have to read the entire article to figure out what actually was being said, still I read it and it didn’t disappoint me. BBC says further:
The country’s powerful Department of Religious Affairs has commissioned a team of theologians at Ankara University to carry out a fundamental revision of the Hadith, the second most sacred text in Islam after the Koran
Before I add my words, allow me to add another piece:
But the Turkish state has come to see the Hadith as having an often negative influence on a society it is in a hurry to modernise, and believes it responsible for obscuring the original values of Islam.
Two things need to be noted. Negative influence on society and obscuring the original values of Islam.
Interesting thing is that the revision is being done in Turkey, the secular and so called modern state and Vatican of pseudo Muslim liberals and secularists around the world. Yeah same turkey who believes in freedom of speech of their own style. The “modern” Muslim secular state where people protest if First Lady of the country wears Hijab. tsk tsk.
So what do they mean by negativity here? Quite obvious! Jihad what else? Like non-Muslims, leftist with in my religion are also scared of Jihad. You will find them arguing about it on various Internet forums. Why non-Muslims are against Jihad that’s a separate topic. All I know that When Moses(AS) got into Middle east, His fellows a.k.a Jews refused to fight enemies and clearly told Moses(AS) that they would not participate and they didn’t! and Quran said something in which righteous Jews were challenged by Allah that if they were so pious then try to make a wish to sacrifice life for God. In short Jews and Christians always felt scared of giving their lives for Allah and when they tasted the spirit of Jihad during Crusades then they started propaganda against it. That propaganda has been renamed as Islamic Terrorism which they equate to Jihad because Jews and Christians are not ignorant like our leftist and more educated about Islam. They know quite well from their own sacred books that they could be only defeated by Muslims in final war and it’s only possible if Muslims follow their religion according to laws given by Allah rather by America and know the spirit of Jihad. So non-Muslims spread the ACTUAL NEGATIVITY in Muslim society by talking against Jihad so that Muslims get scared of it and surrender when they face them in war. The Jihad spirit was spread in more negative sense and got spiced up when ignorant right wingers suicide bombers started killing their own Muslim fellows. The leftist cult which has always been residue of any society as usual copied what they were taught by people of other religion(s) a.k.a right wingers of Christianity and Judaism and started preaching us about Modernism in Islam and tried to convince us that Islam needs to cope up with modern world . When I ask them what Obsolete things do they find in Islam, I find no satisfactory answer and they come up with most silliest excuses like keeping beard, doing Miswak etc. Those ignorant retards have no idea that Islam is such a religion which is easiest to follow and beneficial for others(not only for Muslims only!). Didn’t we all read in papers that how a Bishop in UK asked his government to apply some Shariah rules since they are way better for British society than their current rules?(That’s other thing it created a wave of fear among Christians that Islam would become part of their state). Our secularists are so ignorant that they believe that Islam is the religion which was applicable for the Saudi dessert only 1400 years ago and can’t cope up with modern world. If that was true then today many scientific things mentioned in Quran were not proved true later by Atheist scientists around the world and Bishop would not have demanded Shariah in UK. So what backward and awkward things do they find in Islam?
Back the statement given by my friend that is this “reinterpretation” is Mardou Wala Kaam. I laughed out loud when had read his statement. How seeking excuses of NOT following religion in its true shape is something which is courageous and act of a MAN?? I rather think that such step is rather a coward step since those people are afraid of following Islam in its true shape because they are not able to follow it thus willing to change it. As Iqbal had said something for righteous people of his time applies on liberals now:
Khud ko Badaltey Nahi Badal detey hain Quran
This is something which was done by Christians and Jews in their sacred books long time back and they lost the path and then Allah sent Quran and Muhammad(SAW) for all mankind. As it’s said in Urdu, Meetha Meetha Hap Hap Karwa Karwa Thoo. So if our leftist fellows are mentally impotent enough not to follow Islam in its true shape then it doesn’t mean they expose it infront of others by coming up with lame excuses. It’s their inability to cope up with Islam rather Islam is not capable to deal with things of all times. Allow me to share something personal.
Some of you might be aware that I am a computer engineer by profession and I write softwares. There was a time when I ran away from using Pointers in C++ and always tried my best to find alternative solution of my problem which most of time was not accurate and proper. I always used to speak against pointers among peers and always tried to give impression that pointers are useless while in reality pointers are more efficient way to deal with things which manipulate memory. Now If I am not able to understand it and don’t know how to use delete operator to fee up memory then it doesn’t mean pointers are bad. The problem was IN ME rather in pointers since I always tried to seek shortcuts. Same goes with so called Modern and intellectual illiterate Muslims, they hesitate to follow Islam in its true shape. They would run away from Prayers specially Fajr prayers and would give lame excuses for not offering prayers. The cult of hadith rejectors is one example of such silliness lie among so called Muslims.
I don’t know what kinda pathetic values are Original Islamic values for leftists, all I know Quran has already taught us about criteria of original values of Islam very clearly and nothing is between lines.
And obey Allah and the Messenger, that ye may obtain mercy(Quran 3:132)
In Surah Al-Mominoon, Allah explained what are the values of Islam which every MUSLIM should follow.(Quran 23:1-7)
1. Certainly will the believers have succeeded:
2. They who are during their prayer humbly submissive
3. And they who turn away from ill speech
4. And they who are observant of zakah
5. And they who guard their private parts
6. Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed -
7. But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors
Do I need to say more?
