Many religious activities are simple ritualism which are of no great benefit to the one who practice these and to the society as a whole. The Quran-e-Majeed, the last and final and absolutely protected divine book in letter by letter and word by word regards these man made practices as a great burden on the shoulders of the man. One of the important function of the true divine religion is to remove this burden. This in turns make human beings light and they can fly high.
Many Muslims who are praying are actually performing ritual prayers without the presence of heart and mind. As a result they get very little if any thing from their regular congregational prayers called As-Salah. For females there is no requirement to go to Masjid and attend congregational paryers. Their As-Salah could be at their homes or offices (If they are working women). There are active religious movements which support such practice. Take the example of Tbaleeghi Jamat which deprives its followers active learning of Quranic Arabic and even go to the extent of shutting the microphone when Quran-e-Majeed is recited.
Quran-e-Majeed calls people who do not use their brain and senses as the worst animal. Even during the early time of the Prophet (PBUH) when alcohol was not prohibited Quran clearly says do not go to prayers until you understand what you say. Recitation of Quran-e-Majeeed with full understanding of it is essential part of As-Salah. Recitations of Quran in the Fajr (Dawn) Salah is equated as Salah as Quran tells us that such recitation is witnessed (by the angels). By understanding the Quranic Arabic, the Salah becoems alive and provide great tranquility and peace to the mind. It is a source of immense strength and a cure for many psychological disorders including anxiety and depression etc. Continue reading »
In this day and time when the world is torn across many made lines, borders, positions and beliefs it is incumbent on all of us to find the common points of agreement. Many wars and hatred are based on lack of knowledge and ill founded wrong perceptions about others. Many Christians are unaware of the very high place and status of Jesus (peace be upon him) in Islam. Not only Jesus but his virgin mother Mary and her close relatives have very respected and honored position in Islam. Quran, the divine book of Muslims which had been protected letter by letter, word by word over about 1450 years in its original language without losing it’s beauty and understanding has two chapters titled after the family of Mary. 3rd Surah (Chapter) of Quran is titled Al-e-Imran referring to the tribe of Mary. Then we have Surah titled Maryam (Mary). As a matter of fact there is no better place to visit, meet and see Jesus and his mother than Quran.
No person can be a Muslim without believing in Jesus (Peace be upon him). The position of Jesus (PBUH) is quite accurate and authentic in Islam. It is midway between Judaism and Christianity. Interestingly Quran regards true followers of Moses and Jesus (Peace be upon them) as Muslims! The central figure is the Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim) (PBUH) who was the grand father of Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (PBUT). Muslims are ordered to follow the path of Prophet Abraham who was a true Muslim i.e. the obedient of the God. Continue reading »
First I would like to tell you that I am writing this post in response to the post “Pakistani Saints Go Online” on Propakistani.pk. In that post writer mention what is going on and how they are using social network sites to promote their word and other different activities online like videos of urs, qawalies and ziker-o-dua. I still remember when I came to know this I was also surprised but it is the need of today’s world.
As far as my knowledge is concerned Dawate Islami was the first site to offer Islamic knowledge to Muslim Ummah. While going online they are able to send their message to 57 countries of the world. Let me go in the history Dr. Tahir ul Qadri was the first person who started giving lectures on TV Media and he got very good response. Most of our Ulama Sahibs don’t agree to come on TV and other media (Internet, print media etc) because of restrictions in Islam. (I am not discussing whether its haram or halal to come up on tv and other media channels). But with the passage of time they need this because people of their social network were start moving into different parts of the world and because of this they had not contact with each other only telephone was the source for getting in contact with each other, and due to expensive calls most of the people didn’t afford it.
Data Darbar - Lahore, Pakistan
Well let me share my experience with you, I’ve been able to meet General Sectary of Jamate Ahle Sunnat Pakistan last month and I discuss with him that I’ve seen your videos speeches online uploaded by different people on youtube and other channels and that are very good. Then I asked question to him that why not he some up with his own channel and make it official? Continue reading »
Minorities particularly Muslims are severely discriminated in India. Although Muslims constitute about 23% of total Indian population they are given only 3% Government Jobs and most of these are very low grade jobs. Only those Muslims survive to some extent who compromise with their religious values and traditions. As a result when you attend any large medical meetings in India you will be shocked to see the absence of Muslim consultants. The Brahmins render somewhat similar but to a variable degree to Sikhs and Delits (So called Untouchable). India and the Zionism are hand in hand in practicing extreme racism. Sometimes it feels that if the Brahmins are obeying Zionist Talmud which reduces the other human beings to the animal level and permit all sorts of injustices to them. It is all kosher to rob, kill, cheat non Jews and Non Brahmins. Just see how the Zionists have robbed USA and Europe for their own selfish gains. They created 9/11 and used USA resources and personnel to ignite a war between Muslims and Christians. The real beneficiaries are Zionists, may that be on account of selling, carrying bombs or that may be re4storation of world’s 90% heroin from Afghanistan.
Brahmin India took over Muslim majority Kashmir, Muslim state of Juna gar and Hyderabad Dakkan killing millions of innocent Muslims. Now both RAW and Mossad are carrying out all sorts of terrorist attacks in Pakistan. In the South these forces have fired MQM and in the north bearded pseudo Taliban or pseudo Mujahideen. Their job is easy as they implanted their agents at high positions in civilian and military forces. The Interior Minister of Pakistan is a wanted NRO criminal. Just yesterday he used his influence to get pardon for killing Mir Murtaza Bhutto, brother of Benazir Bhutto. Continue reading »
