Re: Panama case Final round - NS disqualified (Updated)
Brothers, please read carefully:
Haram and Halal is Islamic terms, so, in that sense you are right. Though, in strict Islamic sense, you are wrong.
Even in Islam, Haram and Halal depends on situation and circumstances. For instance, if a person has nothing to eat than Haram food becomes halal. There is one historical event, where during the time of Umar (RA), Muslim world had famine, and during this time, Islamic law on stealing was suspended/withheld, because for some, stealing to survive became necessity.
Actually, if you learn about true Islam (that is also general principle of just law), you will find that, many things may be crime but if done due to necessity or forcible circumstances, than it is not haram (or is forgivable sin). Forget minor sins or crimes, even killing due to accident or in self-defence is forgivable.
It shows that if a person break laws because of necessity or due to forcible circumstances, than on paper it might be sin or breaking of law, but as far as Islam is concerned, one can expect that Allah would forgive such accesses and thus one should avoid calling that (strictly) haram.
It means … and that is what I believe and wrote above, is that … if a person has to lie, cheat, steal or deceive… for survival living, than I would not call that haram (though it all depend, against whom such accesses was done) … rather, even for such situation where people have to lie, cheat, steal or deceive for survival living than the responsibility lies with those ruling and doing corruption in the country … where corruption (by default) means misusing state power entrusted to people, and they use that entrusted power to enrich, misuse and promote themselves … take commission, take bribes and do nepotism.
In most cases, we cannot call civilians haramkhor because a civilian can do crime but cannot do corruption (default meaning of the word). Thus, you can call civilian a criminal (chor, daku, daghabaz, cheat, Liar, etc, etc), but you cannot call civilian a corrupt (Haramkhor). It is duty of government (politicians in power) to make stringent laws against such crimes and state (people employed by state … bureaucrats, police, intelligence, NAB, judiciary, erc) to implement that laws to eliminate crimes from the country, punishing criminals.
Unfortunately, when government (politicians in power) do not make laws or keep loophole in laws … plus state employees (civil or government servants) do not try to eliminate crimes in country, rather these people themselves do corruption (Haramkhori), then it is because of these Haramkhors country goes into misery and hardship … that causes necessity and forcible circumstances for citizens to cheat, lie, deceive and steal … just to survive.
You should also recognise that whatever civilians does, they cannot do crime against the nation (they are not mujrim of nation, but they could be mujrim of individuals … other civilians). On the other hand, a corrupt (person who misuse state power entrusted to them), they do crime against whole nation (are mujrim of entire nation). … Reason is simple, that is, nation has not entrusted civilian with any state power … so civilian cannot use state power to benefit himself … other then through government (state or civil) servants, hence whatever they do, they are not Mujrim of entire Nation. As for government (or state or civil) servants, they use power entrusted to them by nation for personal gains (take bribe, commission, grab plots, misuse power, misuse state machinery for person gain, do nepotism, etc, etc). … hence, they are Mujrim of entire Nation.
Now, I hope you understand (or would try to understand) who I am calling Haramkhors and why it is only they who are Haramkhors.
