Downfall of the Muslims: A Review (Part-10)

By Dr. Firoz Mahboob Kamal

The inimical Muslims

Every human –except the infant, the insane and the dead, survives with a key agenda. Faith, philosophy or ideology of a man or woman in fact, expresses through such objective of survival. Such an objective constantly survives in his attitude, works, prayers, politics, culture, speech, writings and warfare. A man may hide his hypocrisy for a while, but can’t hide his true agenda from the public eye. Thus, a thief, a robber, a corrupt or a despot gets truly known to the people. Likewise, an imperialist, a secularist, a monarchist, a capitalist, a socialist, a fascist, or a nationalist gets known to the public. Such an agenda adds a distinctive moral, cultural and behavioural flavour to a human. A Muslim is also known by his objective of survival. He survives not for the sake of survival; but to fulfil the objective. His survival strategy as a factory worker, farmer, doctor, teacher or trader doesn’t compromise objective of survival. Hence, mere belief in Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la, His angels, His prophet (peace be upon him) and hereafter is not enough to be a true Muslim. His objective in politics, deeds or warfare must be consistent with faith. His agenda of survival must embrace the Vision and Wish of Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la. Establishing sharia, hudud, khilafa, pan-Islamic Muslim brotherhood and jihad in His Way must be the integral part of it.

Any compromise on the Wish of Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’lam and Islam’s obligatory basics is incompatible with iman. “Li’yuz’hirahu al’ddini kulli’hi” (meaning: His deen (Islam) should overwhelm over all other deens or faiths) is His proclaimed Wish. Therefore, fulfilling Almighty Lord’s Wish must be his own agenda, too. Hence, for knowing true iman of an individual, there is little need to dig down into his or her souls. His or her agenda in politics, deeds and warfare gives an exact depiction of that. Those who do politics for tribal, racial, nationalist, socialist, secularist or monarchical cause and fight against the practice of Islamic basics like sharia, hudud, shura, khilafa, jihad and trans-ethnic Muslim unity, can’t hide their inimical agenda against Islam. These people can claim to be true nationalist, socialist, secularist or monarchist, but lose the credibility to be a Muslim. The fake believers who still claim to be Muslim, they are indeed munafiq. They are as the worst enemy of Islam; and worse than kuffar as the human. Because of their huge number, Islam that was practised by the prophet (peace be upon him) now stands badly defeated in the Muslim World.

Like true iman, fixing the correct agenda of survival is the most crucial issue in life. Success in this world and in the hereafter indeed depends on its correctness. Life must not be spent merely for the sake of survival; rather for serving the core objective of survival. In fact, most of the people fail at this point to make the correct decision vis-à-vis this critical issue of life. Their journey towards the hellfire indeed starts here. The professional career as a doctor, engineer, businessman, teacher, and lawyer or others become the core agenda of survival, issue of professional success overrides even the most crucial issue of life. The reason of his creation as a human receives little importance or stays in oblivion. Hence, they may grow up as successful professional, but not as a true khalifa of his Almighty Lord. Thus moves towards to the hellfire. They will not be given a second chance to undo such a loss. Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la wants to save humans from such catastrophic loss. Therefore, to make the survival a great success, His crucial guidance comes in following verse: “Say (to them O Muhammad)! Surely my prayer and my sacrifice and my survival and my death are all for Allah alone –the Lord of all the worlds. No partner is there for Him. And to this I have been commanded. Moreover, I am foremost of them who are Muslim” –(Sura Al-An’am, verse 162-163).

As per above verse, a Muslim must live only for the cause of his Almighty Lord; and he must die for His cause, too. Otherwise, his long survival would only add more years to his life, but not real worth. Such long life may even add more fuel for his life in hellfire. Hence, it is forbidden that any human should invest his life, time, intellect, energy or assets in the service of other faith, deity, religion, ideology or any evil political power. These are the amanah (entrusted endowment) of his Almighty Lord. Hence, he can’t be a mercenary of the imperialists, monarchists, despots or other enemies of Islam. Such acts are indeed the khiana (betrayal) of the amanah (trust). Such forbidden (haram) acts are indeed the ugliest crime in Islam. It is the greatest betrayal of the whole purpose of his or her being here on earth. Such ugliest betrayal takes ones only to the hellfire. But, it is a great irony that survival with the inimical agenda against Islam has been the culture of the ruling elites in the Muslim World today. As a results, the evil coalition of the US-led imperialists finds mercenaries among the Muslims to occupy the Muslims lands. Because of these mercenaries, the invading enemies could kill and evict millions of the Muslims and bomb cities and villages to rubbles.

Living with the deadly agenda

In a coercive and corruptive political, ideological and cultural milieu, strange things happen. Even the people with deadly agenda against Islam and the Muslims stay in power. And those who even join the foreign kuffars to dismantle any attempt of establishing an Islamic state in any part of the World also gets a label of a Muslim! It is also strange that the corrupt rulers who collaborate even with the established enemies claim to be the custodian of Islamic holy sites! The early Muslims didn’t face such a big problem of the internal enemies. In those days, the Roman and the Persian Empires didn’t have such Trojan horses cantonments inside the Ummah -as the USA, Russia and others have today. Their presence only prolongs the enemy occupation of the Muslim lands. In fact, most of the Muslim countries are now ruled by such embedded enemies who vehemently oppose any step to return back to the prophet’s day of Islam! Their strong opposition against the Qur’anic prescription of sharia, hudud, shura, Muslim unity and jihad against enemy occupations is not hidden. Because of them, the Vision of Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la and His prescribed laws and the Qur’anic code of life stay badly defeated even in Islam’s heart lands. And the space is seized by the laws, politics, judiciary and ideologies inimical to Islam.

Absence of an Islamic state makes a highly damaging impact on the Muslim life. It makes it impossible for a Muslim to discharge the duty that has been assigned by his Almighty Lord. An individual can’t take the assigned task of implementing sharia, hudud, khilafa, Muslim unity and other Islamic obligations in his own hand. For that, he or she needs an Islamic state. Only an Islamic state can provide with a supportive infrastructure and a conducive environment to comply with the rule of Allah Sub’hana Ta’la. This is why, it becomes impossible to be a full practising Muslim in a kuffar state. So, obstructing the establishment of Islamic state is not a simple crime. It is indeed the worst inimical act, not only against Islam and Almighty Allah, but also against the whole Muslim Ummah. Recently, UAE government declared 15 year imprisonment for criticising the policy of the government and supporting Qatar. What should be the punishment for standing against the rule of Allah Subhana wa Tala on His Own earth? It is a clear proof that if the sovereignty for framing law is usurped by a human, he can go to any length to forge any laws to protect their hegemony.

After the death of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), many Muslims started to transgress the red line. Many of them denied even to pay the obligatory zakat. Some people claimed even prophet-hood. Khalifa Abu Bakr (RA) declared jihad against them. Because of jihad, the inner enemies got quickly annihilated and the discipline returned to the Ummah. Now, the same transgression of red line is taking place everywhere in the Muslim World. Idolatry is no more a problem among the Muslims. The jaheliya (ignorance) has now a new face and a new name; but the agenda is the same. These are the evil ideologies like nationalism, fascism, secularism, capitalism, materialism, socialism, communism and many others. They could get a large of converts, too. Like the devilish forces of all ages, blocking the resurgence of Islam and stopping the people’s march towards the paradise is their main agenda. Adultery, thievery, robbery, riba, gambling, obscenity and other crimes have assigned also spread like a wild fire. Since no jihad exists against these criminals, they could easily usurp the whole state power. As a result, they could cause a speedy and terrible decline for the Ummah.

Deception of the middle path
Islam has its own Qur’anic vocabulary vis-à-vis the correct roadmap towards the paradise. It is called siratul mustaqeem. It is the Qur’anic straight path that takes people not only towards peace and prosperity in this world, but also towards the ultimate success in akhira. There exists no alternative. It is the greatest Divine blessing for a human to get such a straight path to the paradise; otherwise all other worldly gains, merits or successes –whatever great they may be, go in vain. Hence, it is the most important supplication in any prayer to ask Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la for His constant guidance towards paradise -the greatest gift on earth. The endless and the deathless life in the hereafter with all the utmost pleasures in haven is only possible by following the right path. In order to emphasize on the importance of getting Divine guidance, Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la has embedded the supplication ih’dinas siratul musta’qeem (O Allah! Show me the right path) in Sura Fatiha to be recited in every unit of all obligatory or non-obligatory prayers.

But it is the ugliest self-imposed deviation of the Muslims that they now argue for a so-called middle path instead of the Qur’anic siratul mustaqeem. Siratul mustaqeem survives only in the rote recitation in the prayer, but not in Muslims’ deeds, politics, warfare, culture, education, trade or judiciary. Siratul mustaqeem is not a path of mere rituals like 5 time prayer, fasting, zakat, haj or supplication. It is known for its iconic mileposts all along its full length. It starts with the firm belief in Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la, His prophets, the revealed Books and the hereafter; but doesn’t end there. Sharia, hudud, shura, khilafa, Muslim unity, jihad in His way and running an Islamic state are its indispensable segments. Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’ala has drawn a clear red line around this Qur’anic roadmap –called hudud; any attempt to cross the red line is indeed a deviation towards the hellfire. Any non-compliance against sharia, shura, khilafa, Muslim unity, jihad or Islamic state is indeed the grotesque transgression of the red line. Not only the state apparatus, but also every Muslim needs to be full-time vigilante on those who violate the road line.

In the holy Qur’an, Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la describes the whole mankind divided only into two groups. They are either the followers of the Divine Truth –the true believers (ahlul haq) or the followers of the satanic falsehood -the disbelievers (ahlul batil). In such an area of aligning with the Truth and falsehood, Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la leaves no room for any ambiguity. Both the Truth and the falsehood are categorically defined in the holy Qur’an. Hence, “Inna deena endalla’hil Islam” (meaning: certainly the only acceptable faith unto Allah is Islam) works as the Divine compass to show the Truth. Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la certifies Islam as the only True faith. All other ideologies or faith represent only falsehood. According to the affinity towards Truth or falsehood, they indeed get conglomerated around two opposite poles -the pole of Truth and the pole of falsehood. The whole length of history is indeed the history of wars between the followers of these two opposite camps. Nimrod, Pharaoh, Abu Jahl, all the tyrants and the disbelievers represented the camp of falsehood. All the Divine prophets like Prophet Noah (peace be upon him), Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him), Prophet Musa (peace be upon him), Prophet Isa (peace be upon him) and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and all the true believers fall in the camp of Divine Truth.

Since war is the most divisive part of human history; the people with their true colour, faith and agenda can be seen only in war. It doesn’t give any easy hiding space. To add more clarity to the issue, Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la made the following revelation: “Those who believe they fight in the way of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the way of Shaitan.”–(Sura Nisa, verse 76). Since war between Islam and non-Islam is a constant phenomenon, the taken position in the field of the ongoing war tells very accurately the state of iman of a man or woman. Therefore, those who make collusion and coalition with the imperialist kuffars and fight war against the Islamist –as is the case in Afghaistan, Iraq, Syria and Yemen, can claim to be Muslim? In fact, their politics and warfare and the association with the kuffars exposes their fake Muslim identity. In such bipolar world, there exists no middle path or middle ground. The believers can come to the middle ground only through a clear breach from the people of Qur’anic Truth. Such breach works through full de-Islamisation. As a result of such a breach, they turn disbeliever in sharia, hudud, jihad, khilafa and other Islamic basics. Race, language, geography or skin colour plays no role to influence the nature of the combative dichotomy of the world; nor do restrict anyone from joining any of the two camps. This is why, the people of different race, language and skin colour of Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia and the Americas could find a consensus goal and war strategy to work against the emergence of Islam in any part of the world. For the same reason, the USA could assemble more than 60 countries in its rank as the partners; and could also draw armies from 40 states to Afghanistan. In such a global war against Islam, even the Russians, the Indians and the Chinese find a common ground to work together with the US-led coalition.

The so-called middle path is indeed a fabricated deception to encourage people to cross the red marking of the siratul mustaqeem. Sharia, shura, khilafa, Muslim unity, obligatory zakat, jihad and other Islamic basics are labelled by them as extremism cum doctrine of terrorism; hence given no space in this so-called middle path. These so-called moderate Muslims are not bothered about the Qur’anic prescription. They do politics, lecture on Islam and write books. But they show little displeasure on absence of khilafa, sharia, hudud or Muslim unity. Rather, they show their anger on emergence of Islamic state, dismantling divisive borders, practice of sharia and jihad in any Muslim land. They even show deep hatred when people became martyrs fighting the occupying kuffars. What could be worst deviation from Qur’anic roadmap than this? As a result, co-operation with the coalition of the kuffar imperialists, monarchs, despots, secularists, nationalists, fascists and other wicked power on earth get easily acceptable to them. The occupying imperialists too, take them as the trustworthy partners in their war against Islam and the Muslims.

Taq’wa: the missing element

For the ultimate fate of humans -both here and in the hereafter, nothing is more crucial than Taq’wa. It is indeed the highest quality of a human. Taq’wa is commonly described as the fear of Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la. But such fear doesn’t express its serious meaning and implication. People fear tsunami, earthquake, cyclone, cancer, lethal bugs, man-eating beasts and other things. But such fear doesn’t generate any moral, ethical, cultural, spiritual or political revolution. Taq’wa works as the powerhouse of moral, spiritual, political and civilizational change. It is the moral force to submit to the Qur’anic Truth and to align with the Truth in ongoing warfare. An iota of disbelief in Truth and alliance with the falsehood kills taqwa. Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la has His Own definition about the people of taq’wa. The definition comes in the following verse: “And he who has brought the Truth (i.e. the prophet) and those believe in it are the people who possess taq’wa.–(Sura Zumar, verse 33).

Belief in Truth must generate recognition of the Truth. Such belief must get expressed through the practice of Truth. But, where is such belief in the Muslim World? They declare belief in the Divine Truth of the holy Quran; but where is the recognition and practice of the Qur’anic prescription that entails sharia, hudud, khilafa, shura, trans-ethnic unity and jihad in His Way? How such belief can generate taq’wa? When belief fails to build taq’wa, it builds hypocrisy. And a hypocrite can’t put Truth in practice. He can’t align with the Islamic cause. Only because of taq’wa, the early Muslim could do miracles. They could build the finest civilisation on earth. Without taq’wa, one can’t join the march towards paradise. This is core problem of the Muslims; they could only increase in numbers, but not in taq’wa.

Mere belief in Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la is not taqwa; many Arab idolaters also believed in Him. Many people with the name abdullah (meaning: slave of Allah) lived in Arabia even before the birth of the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Taq’wa is far above mere belief in Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la. It is the intense fear of inadvertent deviation from Qur’anic roadmap and aligning with the falsehood. It is the fear of accidental noncompliance against the expressed Wish, Rule or Prescription of Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’ala. Such constant fear generates intense submission to Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’ala. The word “muslim” itself is indeed the state of such constant and full submissiveness to Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’ala. Since disobedience or noncompliance takes one to the hellfire, it is the constant urge of a believer to remain fully and perfectly obedient to the Almigty Lord. Taq’wa thus creates enormous incentive to fully integrate with the mission, vision and objective of Allah Sub’hana Ta’la. Hence, in men and women of taq’wa, compliance with sharia, hudud, shura, khilafa and jihad in His Way does appear as a political choice, but as a natural outcome of true faith.

Showcasing kufr

Taqwa is the most distinctive marker of the Muslim life. It regulates the life of a Muslim at all levels –be it private or public, be it in politics, culture, legislation, business, and warfare. Truly, a man with an iota of taqwa can’t contemplate of a private, family, community or state life without full submission to sharia, hudud, shura, khilafa, jihad in His Way and other obligatory basics of Islam. In fact, a Muslim man, a Muslim family, a Muslim community or state must showcase taq’wa at all times. Absence or deficiency of taq’wa never remain hidden; it expresses through disbelief and disobedience to the Qur’anic guidance. In absence of taq’wa, embracing kufr law, kufr politics, kufr ideologies, kufr faith, kufr culture and even kufr occupation become the norm. In such situation, even the worst evil ideologies like nationalism, tribalism, fascism secularism, monarchism, despotism, capitalism, and socialism receives dominance in the Muslim World. Because of such submission to the evil ideologies, the Muslim states and communities now showcase the various brands of kufr, and not Islam.

Finding the right path towards paradise is the most crucial issue for a human. Ultimate success -both here and in the hereafter, entirely depends on it. Failure only takes one to eternal hellfire. It is also true, no man or woman can find it on his or her own. Even a prophet can’t get the right path on his own. It comes only through Qur’anic guidance. Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la doesn’t keep such an utmost task under the discretion of anyone else; but keeps in His Own Hands. Hence, “inna alai’nal huda” (meaning: guiding mankind is indeed My domain) is the Qur’anic pronouncement. The Almighty Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la delivers guidance by sending prophets and through revelations. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the last prophet and the holy Qur’an is the final and the most comprehensive guidance. This is why, the holy Qur’an is the greatest blessing of Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la for all men and women on earth; all the other material and natural endowments can’t stand equal to it. But it is not a birth right or automatic entitlement for anyone. For the same reason, adherence to the tradition of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is equally crucial. In fact, as per Qur’anic revelation, those who follow the prophet (peace be upon him), follow the holy Qur’an. For drawing benefit from this Divine blessing, one needs to be fully qualified for that. The qualification doesn’t come from academic qualifications or Nobel Prize winning intelligence, but from taq’wa. It is the key to access this Divine Treasure. Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la made it clear in the following verse: “This is the Book; there is no doubt therein. It is the guidance for the people who possess taq’wa.” –(Sura Baqara, verse 2).

Humans’ greatness, piety or religiosity wholly depend on taq’wa. In absence of taq’wa, no amount of good deed, effort or sacrifice is acceptable to Allah Sub’hana wqa Ta’al. The blood of the sacrificed animals, the wealth spent on charity, the hunger and the thirst in fasting and the bodies of the people killed in a war do not reach Him. What reaches the Court of Almighty Lord and makes a strong case for the forgiveness is Taqwa. It is the key for entering the paradise. In the hereafter, it is the only acceptable currency for making any transaction in the day of Judgement. Otherwise all rituals, charities and supplication turn fake. Indeed, all worth and honour of a human rest on taq’wa. It builds strong linkage with Allah Subhana wa Ta’ala. So, the revelation comes: “Know that Allah is always with people of taqwa”–(Sura Taubah, verse 36). It is revealed: “The transgressors are friendly to each other; but Allah is the guardian of the people of Taq’wa”-(Sura Al-Jasia, verse 19). “On that Day (day of Judgment) the people of taq’wa will be assembled as the honoured delegation before the All-Merciful” (Sura Mariam, verse 85). Therefore, nothing could be wiser and nobler than investing all physical, intellectual or economic possession to increase taqwa. The early Muslims could set an unsurmountable example in that; in order to attain its highest level, most of them even sacrificed their life.

The recipe of curse and failed supplication

Taq’wa doesn’t generate on its own. Mere faith in Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la and the obligatory rituals can’t help it grow on their own either. A range of conceptual, ritual and institutional inputs and throughputs need to work together to give birth taq’wa. For that, the most basic and important ingredient comes from the Qur’anic knowledge. Without Qur’anic knowledge, all the rituals turn to be failed ibadah. So, for the first 11 years of prophet-hood, the sole emphasis was to build up Qur’anic knowledge. The Divine decree on five time prayer, fasting, haj and jihad came much later. Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la emphasized on this crucial point through the following revelation: “innama yakhsha’Allah’a min ibade’al ulama” (meaning: out of all humans, only the people of (Qur’anic) knowledge fear Allah). So, the holy Qur’an is not only the Book of the right path (siratul mustaqeem) to the paradise, but also the Book of knowledge that builds up taq’wa. It is the most crucial issue that needs to be deeply understood. Satan and his followers do not miss this point. Hence their worst enmity is against the spread of Qur’anic knowledge. So, immediately after coming to the power, the communist Soviet Russia closed all Qur’anic teaching schools in occupied Muslim lands of the Central Asia. For the same reason, the US-led coalition and their partners in the Muslim World impose strict restriction on the teaching of Qur’an. They consider it a great threat to their own power and security interest. Their hatred against Qur’an is so toxic that many of them –like the old people of jahelia, now call this greatest Gift of the Almighty the book of terrorism. During their colonial occupation, the British colonialists too, imposed very selective and restrictive study of Qur’an. Topics like sharia, hudud, khilafa, Muslim unity and Jihad were not the part of madrasah curriculum. This way, the occupying enemies allow the Muslims to grow up without proper Islam.

Without taq’wa, one can recite the holy Qur’n thousands of times, can also perform thousands of raka of nafl prayers, can keep month after month fasting, can go for haj again and again, but can’t adhere to the siratul mustaqeem. This is exactly the current scenario of the Muslim World. The siratul mustaqeem that takes people through the valleys of khilafa, sharia, hudud, shura, pan-Islamic Muslim unity and jihad fi sabilillah is unknown or detested by these so-called Muslims. So, they display dismal failure. More than a billion Muslim take part in five-time prayer, month long fasting and other rituals, of them a very few stay on this siratul mustaqeem. Instead, they take the route of nationalism, tribalism, secularism, despotism, kufr law and other established satanic deviation. Instead of submitting to the sovereignty to Allah Sub’hana Ta’la, they declare their own sovereignty thorough their self-made law and constitution.

Whereas, claiming sovereignty is totally incompatible with the Islamic faith. A Muslim can only be a khalifa (viceroy), not a sovereign ruler. Sovereignty offers an entitlement to frame laws and define the right and the wrong. This is the most restricted privilege belongs only to Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la. The holy Qur’an is very clear on this issue. Hence, comes the stern warning: “In’il hukmu illa lilla (meaning: the right to legislation belongs only to Allah)” (Sura Yousuf, verse 40). Even King David (peace be upon him) and King Suleiman (peace be upon him) were the king only by name; they were de facto the most obedient khalifa. About King David (peace be upon him), there comes the following Qur’anic revelation: “(We said), “O David, indeed we have made you khalifa upon the earth, so rule among the people according to the revealed truth (sharia), and do not follow your own desire, as it will lead you astray from the way of Allah.” -(Sura Sa’d, verse26).

King David (peace be upon him) is known in history for his great wisdom, sagacity and amazing ability to make justice. Even he was not given the right to frame law. So, the message is clear: even the prophets are not immune to deviation from the true path of justice if they follow their own intellect. So, the right to frame law is taken away even from the prophets. Therefore, how can a monarch, or a despot, or a parliament of common men and women dare claim to be the law-giver? It is indeed the ugliest treason against Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la; it tantamount to declare war against His Sovereignty. Both King David (peace be upon him) and King Suleiman (peace be upon him) established the rule of sharia that was revealed to Prophet Musa (peace be upon him). Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the rightly guided khalifas did the same. But now, the Muslims have taken the path of active rebellion. They claim the sovereignty; and are engaged in collective war against Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la by dismantling sharia. Not only they are deviated from siratul mustaqeem, but also have usurped the entitlement of Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’ala.

Moreover, constant ibadah (slavery) to the rule of Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’ala is another indispensable way to build taqwa. So, the revelation comes: “O mankind! Do slavery to your Lord, who created you and those before you, so that you may acquire taqwa.”–(Sura Baqarah, verse21). Islam mean full submission to all revealed rules and prescriptions of Allah Sub’haan Ta’la. Hence, Islam means full Islam (full submission); there is no scope of half or partial Islam. So Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la issues the command: “Ud’khulil silm’i ka’ffa”. It means: “Enter into full submission (to rule of Allah) with (your) entirety”. Hence, there exist not scope in Islam that any domain of life –be it politics or policies, law or legislature, education or culture, commerce or economics, war or warfare should stay outside the Qur’anic guidance. Only such inclusive submission to the Almighty Lord gives birth to taqwa. Hence in an Islamic state, submission to the Qur’anic prescription overwhelms everywhere. Every man or woman becomes the moving showcase of Islam. One then, the Muslims receive the promised blessing from Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la.

Any amount of revolt or non-compliance against the rule of Almighty Lord is kufr. Such kufr kills taqwa. But now, the Muslims have made an ugly history. It is the history of rebellion and non-compliance against the rule of Allah Sub’hana wa Tala. They indeed give witness to their own rebellion against Him by practising kufr law, dismantling khiala, secularising state, engaging in riba-based banking, and standing shoulder to shoulder with the kuffars to block sharia, hudud, khilafa, jihad and other Islamic basics. How can Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’ala accept the supplication of these rebels? Acceptance of supplication is very conditional; every believer must fulfil that precondition. The Almighty Lord responds to the call of those who responds to His Call. So it is revealed, “I answer the call of the caller who calls upon Me; but let them all respond to Me and believe in Me..”-(Sura Baqara, 186). But how many people rightly respond to the Call of Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la? Most of the Muslims respond through rebellion. Hence His Vision for bringing victory of His deen stands defeated in every Muslim land. So, the tearful cry of more than a billion Muslims, even in the night of Lailatul Qadr, go unanswered. Instead, such insurgence against Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’la makes the perfect recipe for continued curse and punishment. Therefore, the enemy occupation with its horrendous deaths, destruction and humiliation run unabated in the Muslim World. 20/06/2017 (To be continued)
