Status Report of Deoband Tehreek

I would appreciate if the ulama could teach us the fiqh of g had and the fiqh of establishing a kalif and how it would co exist with other nations etc. I Notice a lot of people on social media openly supporting certain groups even though they themselves are into violence, and since so many groups are going about these issues the wrong way I think the right way should be taught and clarified.

I doubt akhi that our Ulama are going to do so any time soon.

The way no one can say a single word against Israel in the US in the same way no one can talk about above issues.

Normally G!h@d is merely what modern democracy calls the ministry of defence yet that word can not be used.
The antagonism against Islam and Muslims having any intrinsic defence mechanism is complete and there is international concensus over it. The story really goes back to crusades. Crusades were over in a few centuries yet the corresponding mentality remain intact - only more deeply ingrained and elevated to a thumb rule as well as embedded in the psyche of the west. It has by now permeated into, figuratively, DNA. From crusades it naturally passed into colonialism where the inheritors of crusaders annihilated half a doesn Muslim empires, and occupied Muslim lands for varied durations in last thwo centuries. After that the US has naturally taken over where the Europe had left the Islamophobic slent. Since the grip of european colonialism was near complete over Muslim lands their intellectual control too was near complete and that is today managed by the US in general and shared by Europe. They simply will not allow Muslims to think for themselves.

The Deoband elders did start with G!h@d itself. They soon were decimated and realized that not only political and military independence was threatened but even the very existence of Deen was in question.

So they simply changed their course of action and decided to save the teachings of Islam rather then fighting a war for political and military ends. That has become the dominant character of Deoband today.

This automatically brings us to the question as to what should we Muslims do in face of the western onslaught against us?

As you might have guessed from my posts my approach is academic.
At intellectual level we got to engage the west and tell them that they have unduly encroached upon our life space - scientific, technological, social, cultural, trade wise, industrial, economic, commercial, business, military and political. We would like our life space back.

They are not going to concede anyone of these but at academic level we can assert all of this in the same manner in which Maulana Rehmatullah Kairanvi, Dr Wazir Khan, late Ahmed Deedat, dr Zakir Naik, Shabir Ally and Ali Ataie have done in the field of theology. We got to mount an academic onslaught on the west.

I have been saying these things in Aligarh for last few years but I do not have a single folllower amongst the academic community here. So far I have not taken the student community on board. may be I should do that immediately.


Agree.
This statement should be a banner.
If you are not a terrorist then why give others a chance to cast you as one?
Yet we fear, we dither, we tremble, we shiver, we melt down we evaporate.
How pathetic!

Clearly the way out is to take all precaution so that the crafty people just can not slap the T-word on you and go full throttle.

And honestly speaking there is this acute need for the academic assertion on part for the west is simply dumbfound as to what is happening. This is the time to explain to them that we do have grievances and we understand so many things better than them.

If there are already any simple works in English that give a balanced view of these issues let me know.

in 1918 he read the English Translation By Muhammad Ali Lahori (AQadiyani), which re-ignited his passion for Islam.
