Re: Dr. Israar on Jawab Deyh
Thanks for the reply. I agree we are thinking alike. However, I disagree on the secularism part. For example. in secularism there is no religion of the state. Islam is a complete way of life that guides us on economics , society as well as law making. Thing such as disputes in land, family matters, marriage, divorce, etc. etc.,.. have laws in Islam that can be implemented by the state. If they are implemented by the state, than there is no room for secularism. Another example, due to which i do not like secularism is, about Turkey. In Turkey so much hue and cry and fuss was made about Hijab and it not being allowed in public offices. That clearly in my opinion is a violation of basic human rights. They claim that it is to protect the secular system. It is quite sad that they are going to that extreme.
Even in the US they do not penalize anyone on wearing hijab. With a few reservations, their system is quite good and quite close to Islam.
Why do you have to say about that? I would like to know.
State and religion are two different things, This is not only true for Islam but any other religious doctrine. Religion should be taken as more of a personal matter than any state adopting a particular religion. However mullahism explaination of Islam is quite different on the subject as they have their own political motives behind it. The only time when state adopted religion in the life of Holy Prophet was in a war situation and should not be mistaken as position of Islam in state affairs....
Secularism is a free choice of an individual to follow any religion.
Democracy is to give equal say to every individual in the matters of state.
Both these concepts are in accordance with principles of sunnah.
Marriage, divorce, inheritence, and family matters are personal matters, and state should decide these matters keeping in view the religion any person has adopted with his free will. We can not apply our marriage/divorce laws on non muslims who are a part of our community.
Economics, social behaviour are dealt in a democratic society through law making which is the right of the majority of the people. In muslim majority societies of course law making is the right of muslims who can ensure no law is passed which is not in accordance with princples of sunnah. However any law making which does not protect the rights of minorities is not desirable and is against the principles of sunnah.
Restrictions on Hijab are against basic human rights, you don't need ISLAMIC STATE to stop these things. You have yourself given the example of USA which is a secular state.
Restrictions on wearing Hijab, like Saudi Arabia and taliban's Afghanistan is also against basic human rights.....
Reasonable personal matters should be left to individual choices and not implemented by state...
