Qazi terms suicide attacks ‘un-Islamic’
NOWSHERA: Former Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Qazi Hussain Ahmed on Sunday called suicide bombings “un-Islamic”, saying that US drone strikes were an assault on the country’s sovereignty and “cannot be tolerated anymore”. Addressing a conference, he said Islam did not allow killing of “Muslim brothers” by launching suicide attacks and bomb blasts on ordinary citizens. “Suicide attacks are not allowed in Islam and our religion does not allow the killing of innocent people. “The murder of a Muslim is in fact the killing of all humanity,” he said, adding that US and NATO forces would be defeated in Afghanistan due to their “anti-people” policies. He said drone attacks in Pakistan were a violation of international law and the country’s sovereignty. Qazi called for strict action against elements involved in corruption adding that clerics from different schools of thought should unite to guide the nation in “these testing times” and protect it from imperialist forces. app
Muslim scholars are meant to be the true spiritual leaders for mass population, they serve as a gauge for society's well-being, and should have played a more proactive role for the well-being of Pakistan (A muslim nation). Instead they choose to remain silent.
Miss those times of Imam Hanbal who would much rather get lashed for speaking the truth, but not change a single word for the fear that people who listen to him and look upto him might get misled and their wrong doings would be on his soul.
ps: I think the story is of Imam hanbal, someone with knowledge please correct me If I'm wrong.
