So did you chickies hear? Mushy mush is kicking all them non-pakis from the madrassas. It is great isn’t it…gov’t decides who can study religon and who can’t…afterall…it is the gov’t that decided ahmedisa ren’t muslims..not GOD. Love live Gov’t..long live Mushy!!
What’s there to discuss? The government’s constitution, dictated by Musharaf himself, still states that God is ultimately sovereign of Pakistan, not any individual in the govt.
But somehow non-muslims have been doing much better than muslims for the past few centuries...and there is no present hope for things getting better for muslims.
I think the blindness is a bit more on our own side.
The first step to solving a problem is admitting that you have one.
Baba! the real heat is in Bihar precisely in the undies of Bihari Rabri Devi. Don’t you try to bring the same $hite in Karachi. We have had enough with attacks on Pakistani-Shias, Pakistani-Ahmadis, and Pakistani-Chrisitians.
PCG this world is only a temporary place, the non muslims may be making leaps and strides in this world, but who’s truly gonna be winning in the end when all is said and done.
I am of the firm belief that MUSLIMS who choose to ignore their religion suffer losses both in this world, and in the hereafter.
Yeap! no need to work or do something positive in this “temporary place”. Kill and bomb train and bus riders and go to the permanent place called “Hell” to burn for ever.
Maniac, don't make excuses, please. Even our deen asks us to delve into scholarship, encourages research, encourages science, encourages learning, etc.
That was, sadly, a very immature post from your side.
Your logic is :
Its okay if we're not successful in this world - we have our religion which we follow.
My logic is:
We're not following our religion because if we were, we WOULD be successful in the world.
Your logic is not proactive - its passive and allows for damage to continue taking place.
When I say success, I don't mean like lets all become rich in money. I'm talking about...hey how about we make our countries safe to live in...provide the right opportunities for our own people instead of making their lives harder...how about we not abuse our women and our kids...how about we promote education...how about we ensure basic healthcare for each individual...
stuff like that which is totally do-able, except there are too many muslims out there - in power, and out of power - even your every day citizens - which make these basic tasks next to impossible.
Why? Because they're mostly ignorant about thier own deen and iman.
First off, AntiObl, i never ever condone bombings or acts of senseless violence. Dont speak out of your posterior.
PCG, you got the jist of my post wrong. Focus on this one sentence.
"I am of the firm belief that MUSLIMS who choose to ignore their religion suffer losses both in this world, and in the hereafter."
I believe that a muslim who does not follow islam is the one who's the looser in this world and the hereafter. Following Islam like you said requires us to learn, both about religion and worldly affairs.
Islam also tells us a few things about predestiny. You may work your entire life out but only get one dollar if that is whats written for you, or you may do absolutely nothing and have riches come crashing down on you, however its the niat that matters, and surely a man who works hard and never looses hope in Allah will be the one rewarded when it really matters.
Now please, stop finding arguments and wrongs in every post. Not all of us are vehemently after you and your reasoning.
Heh, once more, please try and understand what im saying before going on and putting words in my mouth. I for one dont think we have too many people following religion now or we wont be in this condition.
I think perhaps i initially said it in a way you and others didnt understand, WITHOUT ISLAM WE HAVE NOTHING, zip, nada. Be that in this world, or the next.
