Friends ask me why when ever I talk, I quote only one saying of Prophet (PBUH &HF) المسلم مراة الرحمٰن I say I quote it because this Hadith briefly teach us what God wants from us. This Hadith also tell us how Muslim should pass his life. Today when I see life of our master Prophet Muhammad (PBUH &HF) and compare his blessed life with that of contemporary followers of Islam, I find that we have nothing to do with Prophet (PBUH &HF) or his religion. I find an observation of a western historian as an absolute truthIslam which we see is not the Islam preached by Muhammad (PBUH &HF) but actually the practices of Umayyad and Abbasids
actual Islam is yet to be discovered Today world of Islam is facing the threat of Takfir, which has changed into the single biggest threat ever faced by Ummah. The roots of Takfir lie in the deep sectarian thinking.Takfir is not only present in Wahabism, or Deobandism but also in Shias and Sunnies.Arslan Shah, Grand son of most respected Sufi and Academic Pir Karam Shah, recently told me about his visit to South Africa where he said he met some of the most fanatic Brelvies (those who claim to follow teachings of Sufi saints), Mureeds of Ala Hazrat Ahmed Raza Khan Brelvi, who according to him calls all Wahabis and Deobandi as Kafirs
.Similarly News coming from Kurram agency also tells about fanatic Takfiries who are in ranks of Ahlesunnah and Ahle Tasheau. I am surprised how Mullahs and Scholars defame name of Islam and Prophet in the name of Islam, which is actually beliefs and interpretations by them and their elders. Most of us remember that once Hazrat Khalid (RATA) killed few people in Yemen who before being killed said Kalima. When he returned and went to meet Prophet. Prophet turned his face from him, he came from different directions but prophet turned his face. On which Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed (RATA) started crying. Prophet said O Allah, I have no Part in what Khalid did then said O Khalid did you see kuffer in their hearts? Who are you to judge who is kafir and who is not? Was it not enough that they said Kalima Those who have read Islamic History knows that Prophet and All rightly Guided Caliphs forbade Muslim armies to kill injure or harm women, children, priests and old people. They forbade to destroying plants and fields
.To day we, who claim to be followers of Islam, do every thing which Allah and His Prophet forbade.I have my self come to conclusion the biggest threat which Ummah face today dont come from out side, but its from Takfir practiced by all sects which makes us self destructive.I dont understand why we like to call our selves sunnies or Shias when Prophet called his followers only Muslims?Why we like to waste time in debates and then using worst methods for submission of opponents before us on our point of view when these debate and their results will not help us in answering of questions in our graves or on Day of Judgment?I mean Sahaba are Sahaba and Ahlebait are Ahlebait, their lives teach us to be kind to each other and seek the blessings of Allah. We waste time in debates which are not of our level. Where as we forget or intentionally disobey the massage given by them
Shia and Sunni came as two political ideologies
. But today we have made them two different religions with in Islam. Shame on us. In reality and practice we neither follow Ahlebait nor Sahaba
but harm each other in their name
today we have so much hate for each other that we become Takfiries and Kharjies and never realize
Coming back to subject
Allah wants to see his image in us. Thats why prophet said Muslim is mirror of God a man can only become mirror of God when he adopts the traits of Allah
. which is blessing and kindness to all living things, not only for Muslims
when we leave Allah we become Kafirs and Kafir is the person who deny Allah. We deny Allah with our actions and deeds.I ask Takfiries belonging to any sect
do you know Quran and Sunnah more then prophet, His family members or his Sahaba?If not then ask forgiveness from Allah for what you are doing. One can understand Islam only from the way Prophet (PBUH &HF) lived his life, after Prophet(PBUH &HF) his Ahlebait and Sahaba are model. Follow them not any Takfiri or any sectarian scholar whose opinion may take us to depths of hell. Muslim are one, weather Shia or Sunni
Muslim may be weak but any one who believe in لا الہ الااللہ محمد رسول اللہ Is a Muslim. Weather his faith matches my school of thought or not. If I want Allah to remain happy with me
I have to look after and care for any Kalima goes (one who says Kalima). One thing to remember is Goal is important then ways. Goal of a Muslim is to seek blessings of Allah
now if we agree on it , then we must not fight on ways how to do it
every way leads to Allah weather its Shia or Sunni
. Remember goal and help each other to make better society, which is reflective of AL REHMANS blessings and Love.
