Allah never asks Momineen to commit suicide either. In fact suicide is haraam.
[/QUOTE]
Dear AOBL, we as muslims are ordained by Allah to put the truth out without putting our national or tribal interests upfront. Are we doing that or are we able to do that is a separate issue but we should make sure that we put the complete picture. For sure suicide is haram, but then Allah loves momineen's Istishad. So now you can argue until the cow comes home who is a momin and who is a shaheed. But Allah loves those who give out their lives in his sake.

Allah however exhorts people to work hard, be patient, be just, and do good work (Sura Asr).
[/QUOTE]
Dear once again you are reading too much in just one sura, and also by putting a distorted translation of sura. Allah also "exhorts" muslims to stand out for justice on more than one occasion in Quran. So lets read the sura again… it starts with a condition,...
By Time, Man is in loss, Except those who beleive, and do rightious deeds and gather togather for the sake of truth and in patience.
So the first conditions is to be a believer, and then by standing out for justice you are doing a good deed, and then by supporting your brethren in difficult time you are supporting their patience.

We as Pakistanis do not work hard, are not patient, are not just, and do not involve in good deeds for the world. The result as predicted by the Allah Subhanhu is clear. We are the losers (Sura Asr).

Where you are right you are right, but you have to put the argument in the right order for some one to be a loser, (sura Asr) the Human race is in loss, Except (firstly) those who believe..., so dear if your a believer in Allah then you can live in Tamil Nadu and not be a loser or you can be Nankana Sahb and not be a loser, so this Pakistani argument is not valid by this sura. For sure in Pakistani a vast majority of our political elite/the army/ people are not just because they don’t know any better and as along they are gathering for Haq (* watawasaw bialhaqqi*) other than Allah they will be losers.

Pakistanis have to save themselves from the fanatics bombing Pakistani-Shias, harassing Pakistani-Ahmadis, and incarcerating Pakistani-Christians. Unfortunately these fanatics are the biggest champions of Islam.
Kashmiris will come to Pakistan if we can show Azad Kashmir to be more prosperous and more democratic compared to IOK. Let's keep Islam out of Kashmiri politics. It hasn't helped in the last 60 years and it won't help in future.

Pakistanis should try to save the lives of all Shias/Christains/Ahmdis even if they are Pakistanis or not Pakistanis. Being muslims Allah wants us to be ambassadors of justice and not for tyranny. Showing Kashmir’s the prosperity will never be enough until we don’t have a balanced approach of condemning injustice and supporting justice on the basis of Islam.

AOBL, please stop sending conflicting messages, you start with Sura Al Aser and then at the end you say that keep Islam out of politics. So you have a source of providing justice to people other than Quran, if that’s the case then why base your arguments on Quran. Just because some thing didn’t happen in 60 or 84 years you think it will not happen, that’s for sure is a very strong sign of faith in Islam. Politics or no politics 60 or 80 years hold no value, it’s the word of Allah which comes first. Just for starters read this Aya again and again, its from Quran, so you might understand why Muslims in Pakistan support the Kashmiri’s
** 49:10 The Believers are but a single Brotherhood**
We as muslims might not do justice if we don’t support muslims in other parts of the world, for that I am sure Allah will make us accountable for not being consistent for his sake.
