Asw,This discussion is not about what Raja of Mahmoodabad (or some other Muslim Leaguers) wanted, it's about Muhammad Ali Jinnah's vision ... (The Raja anyway realized his mistakes later on and accepted Jinnah's vision)
Jinnah did not want an Islamic State, and it does not make him a 'traitor' (if you know what the word actually means)
After reading your comments i have reached this conclusion that all is not lost in this land of pure. Still there are some voices of sanity. Some voices of truth who no matter what would dare say the truth with politeness. Kudos bro may God bless you. Ameen
This beloved nation needs more sane voices like you. Keep it up.
As far as Sharia Law implementation is concerned even Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) didnt implement it the way current mullah wants. Because if he had done so he would go against the very teachings of Holy Quran.
Where Allah Almighty says: 'There is no compulsion in Religion' etc
Holy Prophet saw was the Ruler of Madina and later on of Arabia.
did he impose Sharia Law on Jews, pagans, Christians????
When the Jews brought their problems to him they were given choice to get it solved through Torah not Holy Quran. So did he forget to force Sharia on them.
Christians from Najran came to him to do a Religious debate they were allowed to worship in Prophet's Mosque. They were not forced to follow Islamic Law.
When Holy Prophet saw migrated to Medina and was accepted by all (Muslims, Jews, Idolaters) parties as their Ruler. He made written pacts with them not one clause forces them to accept Islam as Law for them.
So the question arises why Holy Prophet saw did not impose Sharia Law on the citizens of Medina????
Answer is very simple those laws were not meant for non believing, I mean how can you force anyone to believe in you. Prophets of Allah are sent as Warners and Giver of glad tidings, as Mentors, as Guides, not as policemen.
Then there is another question which Sharia will you impose when Ummah is divided in to factions and sects??? Hanfi, Hanbali, Shafi, Ithnaa Asharia, Wahabi??? And then these have further and further divisions.
If for example you impose Shafi interpretation. What about followers of other schools of thought. Will you force them??? Will you go against the very Teachings of Holy Quran and Holy Prophet saw???
Last but not the least:
Who will impose Sharia Law???
These corrupt to the core politicians??
or these halwa lover mullahs???
