Fatwa against terrorism by Dr Qadri

[psyah]

@AllahkaBanda

as-salamu alaykum

I don’t know if you are a brother or sister so I don’t know how to address you.

this is agreed upon. however, there are few things to note:
1 - what’s the point of this sudden fatawa? He isn’t the first one to make such a fatawa.
2 - It opens room to other legitimate questions: how many times he has issued fatawas against those who rule by other than Allah, meaning the kafir and tyrant Muslim governments? How many times he has spoken about foreign terrorism in Muslim lands? What in the world did he do or say when a man prostrated to him?

this is the problem with these wannebe scholars. They say and do whatever is their master, the west, is pleased with. For such people, we cannot say that what they have said is truth unless we read or hear everything which they said. How issuing these sorts of fatawas again and again going to stop those suicide bombers or resolve any issue? A blood of a Muslim is more important than blood of a kafir; this is something we need to keep in mind. Even if suicide bombing is haraam but if it protects the honour and blood of some Muslims then we need to support that.

Peace bro

You are totally ok to ask those questions, but your second paragraph seems like you have answered them on his behalf. We can ask why was such and such done, but then to assume we know the answer casting our own opinion on a person’s intentions is not what we should be doing.

You say that if suicide bombing is haram but is acceptable if it protects the honour and blood of some Muslims. Our intention should never be towards taking our lives, for then we will drop the blood Muslims, our own blood is still Muslim blood is it not? Our intent in struggle is to protect not to take revenge. And should we be so narrow as to limit this protection and honour to Muslims only? I believe we should be protecting the lives of all living creatures as much as we can.

A suicide bomb betrays us those virtues, it makes people cause destruction and civilians gets killed, it creates a political problem for other Muslims whose honours are not upheld but ridiculed instead. Most attacks done this way are acts of desperation. These are not Muslims doing God’s work, these are enraged souls who have been licensed to let loose. I am not condoning pacifism here, rather saying that there is a certain way of Islamic warfare that has left us today. If we had iman then suicide would not be needed and would not be resorted to.
