Comprehensive Pakistan Thread

India & Pakistan have the same problem. Ulama have never explained Shariah to laymen, in the eyes of a common Muslim Shariah is:

1. Growing Beard
2. Wearing Niqab
3. Chopping limbs

Why would a laymen (common Muslim) want that? They see no benefit in it (in their own selfish way). Imran Khan's version of Shariah is Socio-Justice system and I see even Atheists want "Riyasat-e-Madina" and completely ignoring Sunnah aspects of Islam (Beard, Niqab etc)

Change can only come through two means:

1. Soft Revolution: We have blown it away and not prepared the masses so they can ask for, embrace and help with the change.
   
2. Hard Revolution: This means blood flows in the streets.

Either way, Islam is coming but why would people want something which they don't understand or don't think that they need?

Who asked the Ulama to take a back seat and not be part of the society and just sit in the Masjid? People get inspired? Are the millions of people in Karachi inspired by Ulama, their behavior and character? Do they feel that Ulama are part of their everyday struggles, their problems, their ills and their anxieties?

Did the Ulama organise anything or speak about or motivate people when mountains of trash is piled up in Karachi? Did the Ulama organise anything or speak about rivers of blood after Qurbani?

Nabi (Sallallaho Alaihe Wassallam) was part of his society.

Imagine if Nabi (Sallallaho Alaihe Wassallam) just sat in Masjidun-Nabawi and just talked about Muamalat.

You can clearly see the problem if you wish to see the problem.

In the West, our Ulama construct WhatsApp groups and if you try to rise above your station you get banned. Its top down communication and you either accept it or you get boycotted.

The example of Ulama in the eyes of the people who is in leadership (contention) is Maulana Fazlur-Rahman Saheb (HA), just think about it...

You are putting the cart before the horse. Trust is earned, not deserved. This is the fundamental error which leads Ulama to lose elections, they believe that they have "entitlement":

1. People should listen to us
2. People should come to us
3. People should benefit from us

Life does not work like this.

I know that you cannot bring yourself yourself to think this way as you may think that it is some kind of blasphemy or Kuf'r etc and that's' fine.

Maulana is on every TV channel, forum and Social Media platform. He is front and center. Your mind wants to dismiss it but for Pakistanees when India is creating problems on Eastern border and Afghanistan on the western border....Maulana is leading an "Azaadi March".

I do not wish to change subjects by discussing him being an Alim (or not) because that is obviously a distraction. If he is not an Alim then once again ask Ulama as to why the address him as "Maulana"? Ulama of Pakistan call him "Maulana" so people are making Taqleed.

No!

Engineer is speaking in a manner and tone which people find familiar so they are attracted. Why do people listen to Mufti Tariq Masood (HA) and his jokes?

Maulana Maududi (RA), Dr Israr Ahmed (RA), Dr Farhat Hashmi, Dr Zakir Naik all speak in a manner in which people understand. This is a simple communication issue to understand.

1. Because Nabi (Sallallaho Alaihe Wassalam) was in the limelight and right in the center of people
   
2. Ulama are supposed to be inheritors of Nabi (Sallallaho Alaihe Wassalam)

Wrong argument based on stories which you have heard in Bayans.

1. Inspiration: You & I can inspire (and should inspire) to be like Sahaba (RA)
   
2. Equality: You & I can never become even the dust touching the Sahaba (RA)

Leaders say that followers are not like Sahaba so leaders cannot become like Sayyiduna Umar (RA) is a ridiculous argument.

• I am hated on forums because people say that I behave in a certain manner.
  
• IF I commit a sin, would Allah Ta'ala forgive you for committing a sin?

When we were kids our mothers used to say, "If he jumps in a well, will you also jump into the well? OR will you know that jumping in a well is not a smart thing to do?"

I have personally known about Imran Khan, his wrongdoings and sinning.

As a player, Imran Khan was a military medium (no swing or seam) bowler and hundreds of them exist in the county system. The county system tried to make him concentrate on line and length because he was utterly useless! His first delivery for Pakistan was wide , caught in the second slip...That's how mediocre Imran Khan was (as a player).

My Ex-boss told me that when Imran Khan turned up at Worcestershire, he was a mediocre bowler with dashing good looks and partied hard but as a player he was not going anywhere.

But what he always had and still has is the ability to focus and concentrate.

This military medium bowler turned himself into a frighteningly quick bowler in the era of Lille, Thomson, Holding etc. This is extremely difficult if not impossible when all the Coaches are telling you to do the opposite.

Then he got injured with a stress fracture, this usually finishes the pace of a fast bowler. Look at Dennis Lillie, Imran Khan came back and demolished India on the dead pitches of subcontinent.

Then as he got older, he changed himself again with leg cutters and learned to bat. In 1992, he promoted himself to number 3 in the World cup final.

He is not perfect and never been perfect. Something happened in 1992 and he started turning towards Islam. In 1994, a Jammat from Bannu told me that Imran Khan came to the Bannu Markaz parked his land cruiser prayed Dhohar and left. Jamaat told me that he never looked right or left, prayed and left. 

Imran Khan is not a Scholar and does not much except basics of Islam but he is disciplined, focused and committed. I asked senior (retired) Army officers of Pakistan as to why they back Imran Khan and they said, "He is not Army but he is disciplined."

Let me list all the Prime Ministers of Pakistan since 1990:

1. Nawaz Sharif
   
2. Benazir Bhutto
   
3. Nawaz Sharif
   
4. Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali
   
5. Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain
   
6. Shaukat Aziz
   
7. Yousaf Raza Gillani
   
8. Raja Pervaiz Ashraf
   
9. Nawaz Sharif
   
10. Shahid Khaqan Abbasi
    
11. Imran Khan=1 year, 67 days
    

Just take a good look at the names in that list and compare them to Imran Khan.

The economy, Kashmir, corruption etc are not the fault of Imran Khan and he has never claimed to be a Sahabi. He keeps talking about Riyasat-e-Madina so give it 5 years and then throw him out. He does not know a lot about Islam to be able to deliver Riyasat-e-Madina, its his passion but not much will happen. Imran Khan is also wrong about India, Pakistan will not be left alone.

People say that he has done nothing but gave a speech at UN, I ask you  (and every Deobandi)

Which speech has Maulana Fazlur-Rahman Saheb (HA) given even in Urdu which is worth quoting?

When you get Sayyiduna Mahdi (AS) by all means throw Imran Khan out and make Bayah at his hands but until then who do you want instead of Imran Khan? He has made many mistakes and will keep on making mistakes and he will neither ban Interest/Usury, nor stop vulgarity and open sins etc but he has never committed to do anything of that sort. Maulana Fazlur-Rahman Saheb (HA) is incapable of running Bannu let alone Pakistan doesn't matter what he promises!
