Acts
of Terrorism attributed to the Taliban (the Afghanistan
Ruling Party) or any other Muslim groups or organizations
must not be equated with Islam. Instead, if one acts like
a Judge or a Jury, he or she will evaluate their actions
in the light of injunctions of Holy Quran (God's commands
and Final Guidance), the practice of the Final Prophet of
God-Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions and
the Four rightly guided Islamic Rulers (may Allah be pleased
with them) after him before saying any thing false about
Islam because God and His Religion (Islam) are pure from
injustice, unholy, merciless and cruel practices. God Almighty
Allah teaches even to forego our rights to please one who
is angry with us or even our enemy, and to make him happy
by such acts so that he sees the beauty and truthfulness
of God's Gift (that is Islam) and is liberated from the
Satan's influence and the path of Hell Fire. God commands
us to do justice even with our enemies because doing. Justice
with all is the one of the important criteria for being
a Believer in Allah and the Sign that a Believer is not
just a Believer but He is a True and Obedient Servant of
God who dislikes making His Lord Angry. We can't just say
that we believe in Allah, the God who is Just and then in
the same breathe act mercilessly with the people, especially
women and children, without caring for their needs and sentiments.
But how can such people and their harsh methods and thinking
style bring any glory to Islam and to themselves? Time will
tell! They
fight their own brethren among Islamic community and are
not ready for reconciliation with any one. The thinking
or intellectual level may not be on the same line as that
of intelligent Americans, Japanese or Europeans. So, we
must not think as they do. Our thinking must be based on
the ideology taught to us by God and His Final Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him). And
because any organization bearing any muslim name and other
people are free to say and do what they like. If they are
doing such acts that are at times in total disagreement
with the way of final Prophet of God and His successors
(the Four Rightly Guided Khalifas), then one must not blame
Islam. A student's mistakes and wrong acts must not necessarily
be hurled on the shoulders of his teachers.
During
the time of Islam's Final Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him) people used to do such things which were not permitted
in Islam and they were punished by God's Prophet. But today
in the absence of any Ruler (Khalifa) like Syedina- Abubakr
, Omar or Ali, or the one who strictly adheres to their
way of thinking and justice, most of the people dare to
do all such things in the name of Islam (from within the
fraternity of Islam) or say against it such things from
among those who are without Islam. This shows how far the
faith of people in God has eroded notwithstanding their
external features and tall talks. It must be noted that
Allah Almighty who is Just and but at the same time punishes
severely as well for the injustice and cruelty done on others
by any person, not mattering whether one is muslim or non-
muslim, upholds His Guidance regarding Justice and behavior
with all people including our own relatives and all other
human beings who are also Allah's servants or creatures.
