Bad Taliban turns good Taliban

By Abdul Hannan Siwani Nadvi Taliban and Alqaeda are not alike; Alqaeda is the name of global Jihad; while Taliban is resisting within Afghanistan. Security Council of United Nations split the list in which Taliban and Alqaeda were one; according to new policy Taliban will now become a good Taliban. International community is ready to convert them from bad to good with passing of some resolutions in United Nations. These above reports are hitting news channels and newspapers across the glob. It has been saying that these steps are being adopted to provide a platform to International community to establish relations with Taliban and convince them to start negotiations with United States so that Taliban be able to play a role in Afghanistan as well as help United States which wants to bring this unwinnable war to an end. These developments are taking place because US wants to pull out its forces from Afghanistan which is a graveyard for emperors and arrogant powers. How Taliban is turning from bad to good? Who made them bad? And who are making them good? How Taliban and Alqaeda are not same? How US, UN and International community arrived at this station that Alqaeda is the part of global Jihad while Taliban is fighting in Afghanistan only? How International community arrived at this conclusion that there is a need to understand the difference between Taliban and Alqaeda? Eventually, it is the policy of US. This time US is waiting a miracle to save it from this land which has swallowed various powerful and unbroken emperors. It has realized that its country, its forces and its minions have stranded in this country and all of them want to get out from this defiant country. Their economic condition is not allowing them to continue this war or open any new front in another country. That reason; this new trick is being played by US to first change the atmosphere globally about Taliban, and then it will be claimed that Taliban is a good people and US or others have no objection to resume the relation with it, so that US is able to get out from Afghanistan decently maintain its dignity too. This was the same tactic used by US and its western allies to attack on Afghanistan. First; it is made clear that Taliban and Alqaeda have become a threat to International community, then western Media came into motion and propagated against Taliban, and one day United States lunched aerial strikes against Taliban in Afghanistan. It was true; that attack was the violation of International agreement and was the attack on Afghanistan sovereignty, but who lessens? Taliban never attacked on US, it never posed any threat to neighbor or western countries. Taliban had captured the control over Kabul after longest civil war. The trade of heroin had been reduced during Taliban government. UN report confirms it. Taliban established a best government in Afghanistan. They brought the violence and civil war to an end. The people of Afghanistan had been hoping a stable government there. The Ambassadors had been appointed by Taliban at that time they were not ordinary men. They were very well-educated and qualified persons. If International community gives them time to establish their positions, they establish that which kind of government Taliban wants and what they want from International community. However US and International community without giving them time to clear their positions, attacked on Afghanistan. Since then, what Taliban is doing in Afghanistan is the same thing which is being played by every patriotic person and movements. Taliban is fighting and resisting to bring this occupation to an end. United States had gone there with its consent. Since then, Taliban had become bad Taliban. Supporting of Taliban, providing any help to this organization was the part of terrorism. Even the Muslims who spotted beard and veiled Muslim women attacked in entire glob and termed them Taliban. It is said that Talibanization will not be allowed at any rate. Anti-Muslim movement appeared. Cartoons made on our Prophet Mohammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasalam. Charitable Islamic organizations blamed to help Taliban and Alqaeda. A section of media in India propagated against Muslims and their religious institutions in the name of Taliban. Name of Taliban had become a symbol of terror which was being used to scare Muslims and keep none-Muslims away from embracing of Islam It is said that Taliban is bringing bad name to Islam. It is said that Taliban is destroying Islamic values. Taliban figured as they are anti-Islam and anti-Muslims. Quraanic verses used to show how Talibanization or Taliban is a threat to peace of the world. However, after 10 years, when US economic started to fall, and it is facing economic deficit, US is attempting to change this atmosphere to create an environment where Taliban to be converted from bad to good. Adoption of resolution 1998 and 1989 which separates Taliban and Alqaeda into different categories, in Security Council on Friday 17-06-2011 is the first step to declare that Taliban is a good organization as well as US and other groups have no objection on restoring talk with them. This is a US policy to get out from Afghanistan. These US policies establish that US made Taliban bad for its policies, and now are making them good for its policies. As for the efforts made by United States to start negotiations with Taliban cannot help it in getting out from this defiant country, because Taliban is fighting since last 10 years. Continuing US military operations in various parts of Afghanistan cannot eliminate them. The second thing; this time Taliban is not asking for negotiations with US but it is the US which wants dialogue, so looking toward the culture of Afghanistan it is hard to say that these efforts could be a fruitful for US. However, one thing which is made by US is that bad Taliban has become a good Taliban. Tomorrow; when US policies will take a U-turn; what they will say about Alqaeda; let us see which way the wind blows. 19-06-2011

يجب على جميع الجهات أن تعمل للخروج من هذه الأزمة في سوريا

يجب على جميع الجهات أن تعمل للخروج من هذه الأزمة في سوريا بقلم : عبد الحنان السيواني الندوي الخطاب الذي كان آلقاه الرئيس السوري بشار الأسد قبل أيام أمام الشعب السوري على ما يجري في سوريا قد فشل في إستيلاء إهتمام الشعب السوري والمجتمع الدولي . الشعب السوري الذي يطالب الإصلاحات في جميع مجالات الحياة رفضه تماماً قائلاً إنه لا يلبي مطالب الشعب السوري الكامل، أصلاً بشار الأسد كان يحاول إخماد الحريق الذي قد إندلع في سوريا. هناك ضرورة للفهم بأن الشعب السوري لماذا رفض هذا الخطاب؟ يمكن أن ماذا قال الرئيس بشار الأسد صحيح ، ويمكن أنه يريد الإصلاحات السياسية والإقتصادية ويمكن أن موقف الريئس صحيح لكن السبب الرئيسي وراء رفض هذا الخطاب هو أن الشعب السوري يريد عملاً حقيقياً ، وتنفيذ وتطبيق على ما قال الرئيس وحتى الآن الحكومة السورية لم تتضح أنها متى تبدأ هذه الإصلاحات التي يريدها بشار الأسد تطبيقها في البلاد ، لا توجد خطط ولا تاريخ ، ولا جدول زمني ولا أي تحرك. على كل حال ، المخرج هو فقط تطبيق وتنفيذ الإصلاحات التي قال بشار الأسد في خطابه وهذه طريقة وحيدة أمام سوريا للخروج من هذه الأزمة التي ليست لصالح هذه البلاد العظيمة. 22-06-2011م

Mr. Digvijay Singh, act first, then propagate

By

Abdul Hannan Siwani Nadvi

Mr. Digvijay Singh is a senior leader of congress party. He has been the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh.

He knows very well about political world. He is aware about ups and downs of country's political environment.

This time, he has declared all-out political war against RSS and its sister organizations. BJP and RSS leaders have slapped various charges on him, but, his exposure against Hindutva houses remains to continue.

A section in Muslim community hails his brave exposure and figures him a brave leader in congress party.

In his latest exposure, he blamed on RSS for defaming Muslims in the country. Addressing a rally of Samajik Chetna Manch Ghosi Yadav Mahasabha, in UP, he says that RSS engineered bomb blasts to defame Muslims.

His earlier various revelations against Hindutva outfits figured him a good leader in Muslim community.

Eventually, he is a general secretary of congress party. He has been given a position to bring congress party back in power where it failed to achieve goals in various states in past many years. After re-capturing on all previous positions in various states, congress party's eyes are on the next assembly election to be held in UP next year. So, the platform is being prepared to appease Muslims.

Mr. Digvijay Singh how much is sincere in his claims against Hindtuva outfits, I do not know, however, his periodically exposures and none-response by police, congress party and NIA revels that his exposure just only a political stunt, nothing except of that.

I really failed to understand the intention of Mr. Singh's claim against Hindtuva organizations. What he wants to establish from his exposure on different places.

Mr. Digvijay Singh might forget that all Hindutva organizations, including the organizations which are involved in terror activities throughout the country and the organizations were involved in razing Babri Masjid down and carried out the genocide in Gujarat in 2002, raised and extended its wings, in all over the country, during the governments of congress party, which is governing in center since independence.

When RSS and its sister organizations were very small and their contacts and activists were not in millions, central or state government has done nothing against them, so, now, when they have become a power in the country, how central or state government or police would take action against them.

What Mr. Digvijay Singh is claiming, Muslims have been stating since last many decades. Mr. Singh's claim that RSS is doing this one and that one will never change the reality on the ground.

If RSS is making bombs, using Muslim names to defame Muslim community, if RSS leaders are involved in terrorist activities, so, it is the responsibility of police and government to take action against them. Looking towards country's political situation, there is no hope that police and security agencies will take any step against them in near future. Because these are nationalists forces, as well as, they are our own people, as we heard many times the same statement from some leaders.

It would be better for Mr. Singh to register a case in police station and take down the names of all leaders and organizations who are involved in waging the war against the country. Because the action that is being taken through proper channel could deliver its good results instead of proclaiming in public meetings.

Mr. Digvijay Singh knows the importance if the action taken through legal channels. His party in center for last many years, it is said that Mr. Manmohan Singh is the Prime Minister for the nation, while reins of power in the hand of Mrs. Sonia Gandhi. Why Mr. Singh does not put the issue before Sonia Gandhi and ask her to take action.

Prime Minister has made it clear that all bag eggs who are involved in corruptions, to be booked quickly, irrespective of their position and status. So, it is better opportunity for Mr. Singh to put all evidences, reports, images, maps, names and other details before Prime Minister and Mrs. Sonia Gandhi to take all necessary actions to prevent the country from going into bad hands.

Indeed, what Mr. Singh is exposing time to time, the world knows it very well. Police and security agencies have all information on what is happening in the country. There is need of political will to take action against them.

Muslims have been lessening from long times that this organization is doing this one and that one, while the action taken against Muslim organization and Muslim youths only, having information of their no link with anti-national activities.

Indian jails, where various Muslim youths are languishing in terror charges, are the witness of indiscriminating and injustice with Muslims. Mr. Singh always claims about RSS, did he raise the issue of innocent Muslim youths languishing in prison and waiting for justice in the meetings held by congress party to look the atmosphere of the country?

Just claiming or blaming cannot threw any result unless the action not taken firmly.

There is a question if RSS and its sister organizations are carrying out these things, as Mr. Singh claims, so why security agencies are not taking any step against them?

Who will take the action against them; ordinary people or civil society or media houses? At the time of arrest of Muslim youths, as well as, slapping the charges against Muslim organizations no commission setup, no enquiry has made. Just police conducted raid in Muslim areas, arrested some Muslim youths, declared that all terror masterminds have been arrested and then media approved how they got training in Pakistan, and at final it made cleared that all terror cases have been solved. Then why the same tactic is not being used in this case, while the person who is claming these conspiracies is not an ordinary man. He is Mr. Digvijay Singh, the general secretary of Indian National Congress party.

Various decisions, for the sake of the country, have been made by Congress led-UPA government during its role at center since last many years. Even UPA government has declared all-out war against corruptions, then why it is hesitating in going against the organizations which are involved in destabilizing the country's unity and integrity which is more dangerous than the corruption.

One thing I want to make clear to Mr. Singh that what RSS is doing, Muslims have no relation with that. It carries out the bomb blasts or makes conspiracy against the country; it is not the duty of Muslims to discuss on that point. It is the duty of country's law enforcer agencies to look which organization or people or individuals are involved in which kind of activities.

Mr. Singh's statements seem a political stunt and it is an effort to convince Muslims how congress is serious about them. It is better for Mr. Singh to use another stunt to convince Muslims.

My intention is very clear, if Mr. Singh has power to establish his claims so he has to use proper channel so that RSS and other Hindu right wing organizations to be put before the court and they get the punishment over their involvement in terror activities, otherwise, it is better for Mr. Sing to keep his mouth shut on such issues and don't try to exploit Muslim community by un-necessary statements and¬ revelations, because the statements contradict with the action might perish his position in Muslim community and could serve no benefit for congress party too.

Mr. Khushwant Singh, don’t lecture us about Muslim women and Islam

By

Abdul Hannan Siwani Nadvi

Lecturing Muslims, targeting Islamic Sharia, and making scoff at Muslims and their lifestyle has become a fashion of this era. Everyone wants to kill Muslims. Everyone wants to damage the image of Muslims and Islam.


There are hundreds of thousands of organizations, sites, educated personalities, volunteers, workers and activists whose work is only to put always Muslims and Islam on target.


They are being paid for this work, and sometimes they have been awarded in open ceremony by Weston and European countries.


Indeed, Islam and Muslims is under attack from all corners. Military operations led by United States are under way in most Muslim countries. Cultural and educational hatred campaign against Muslims and Islam is being carried out by so-called educated and contractors of democracy in non-Muslim world.


Someone is making cartoons on Prophet Mohammad (Sallallaho Alaihe wasallam), someone is supporting bans on veil, and someone is burning the Qura'an and destroying Masjids. It seems, it is all-out war against Muslims, Islam and their messenger.


Mr. Khushwant Singh is also one of them. He is known as an educated and prominent writer but his thoughts and thinking is very ridiculous. His thoughts about Burqa and Muslims show that he is still away from the real sprite of knowledge.


Mr. Khushwant Singh in his article published in Hindustan Times on April 30, 2011, says lot of things about Burqa. He seeks a Fatwa from Darul Uloom (Deoband) for abolishing Hijab, such as, he wants a Fatwa from Azhar University to support French government's decision slapping ban on veil, and even he prays for returning of Kamal Ata Turk who had banned veil in Turkey. He says Turkey is the most advanced Muslim country because it had banned Burqa. According to him, lower middle class is only use Naqab or veil etc.


According to him, abolishing of Burqa is a sign of advancement and wearing of Burqa is a sign of ignorant.


Reading his article about Burqa, I had been thinking how a person who has written various books and has a place in all classes in the country can discuss such kind of ridiculous and ludicrous ideology.


Mr. Khushwant Singh; or anyone has no right to lecture Muslims, or interfere in Islamic Sharia. Who allowed him, or them to do so?


Is this his not double standard? He demands ban on Burqa, while the people of his community had been expressing its concerns when the Turban was banned in America after 9/11.


Traditions of other communities are respectable, but, traditions of Islam and Muslims are not acceptable; why? Nuns in Christians use special dress that covers her body from head to toe. Is this not an old tradition? Why no one raises the voice to ban on Christian veil?


It is very old tradition in Hindus where Hindu women cover her face with their sari. Are these things not ridiculous and anti-advancement?


All communities in the world can practice according to their tradition and religion; if Muslims do same thing, so it is called an un-civilized exercise. What nonsense is?


What Muslims or Muslim women do or not to do, it is not related to anyone. Who gave the right to such people to blame on Muslims and make scoff at Muslim women for wearing Burqa?


Why he, or others, like him, has objection over Islamic traditions? Why he wants Fawat from Deoband and Azhar University to abolish wearing veil?


They scream seeing Burqa clad women; while they keep their mouth shut when Muslim women demand justice and equality.


What he and others, like him, did for the justice of women who have been subjected of rape in Gujarat in 2002? Why he does not raise the voice for punishing to those who destroyed the dignity of women?


Such kind of people knows only blaming and targeting of Islam, because it brings fame, money and attention of world. This kind of thoughts confirms awards for him and for others, like him.


How he can compare wearing of Burqa with retrogression, while Sikh men too use Turban and spot beard as a religious tradition, so, is it mean; the Sikh men use Turban are uneducated?


How a veil can become a symbol of retrogression. The women in France, who are insisting on wearing veil and using it in their daily life, are most educated women and they are aware about all ups and downs of the society.


These women, who had been called educated and civilized before Islam; turned to a threat to country, as embracing of Islam; what nonsense is.


In India, wife of elder brother enough to all younger brothers in a family, Why Mr. Khushwant Singh and others, like him, do not raise against such inhuman practice?


There are hundreds and thousands of women in other religions where they have been subjected of rape, live like animals, and face every kind of harassments by their own husbands, brothers and family members; why he does not say about them, about their culture and traditions?


The situation of none-Muslim women is more dangerous than Burqa clad women. Rape of sister by father or brother called incest sex. Is it not true? Then, how Mr. Khushwant Singh, or others, like him, can lecture us?


In a culture where women as a prostitute is acceptable and where everyone figures them a tool of sex and does it too, how this culture can accept burqa clad women who cover their body and protect their dignity from the people who figure them just a sex machine.


When Ulema, Muslim scholars, and Muslim countries raise no objection over dress, traditions and prayer of non-Muslims, then why, and, how people from different religions advise and lecture Muslims on what they should do, or not to do?


It is better for Mr. Khushwant Singh not to write anything about Muslim women, as well as, keep himself away from interfering in Islamic Sharia. If he is very keen in writing about the conditions of women, so he is free in writing about the women, who belong to other communities, except Muslim. Or, if he wants to write something about Islam and Muslim women, so, first, he must study Islamic Sharia, rules and Islamic teachings before passing any comment about Muslim women or Islam.

The world hates Osama; but, why?

By

Abdul Hannan Siwani Nadvi

Osama is no more in the world. He has been killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in an attack led by special American unit that was trained for that work, as US claims.


It was greatest and historical moment for some parts of the world when they heard Obama's statement that Osama Bin Ladin has killed and justice has been done.


The world celebrated his killing and it now feels more secure and safe. The world has no reason to know why; when; and how he killed?


A few section expressed its concern over killing of this person, who was most dreaded person in the annals of terrorism; as it is claimed.


It is true; a few love him and most hate him. Those, who love him, have reasons, and those, who hate him, have evidences and proofs that establish his crime.


His thought and opinion whether it was wrong or right, the world has to decide it; what it thinks about it. However, there is a question; we hate Osama, but why?


US claims Osama is behind the 9/11 attacks, it is another thing various American writers and social activists still see doubts in Osama's hand in 9/11 attack. The world also is waiting evidences that establish Osama's role in this attack. There was one option to reveal the truth, Osama to be presented before the court where evidences reveal how he prepared himself for this attack.


Former Afghan government led by Taliban sought evidences from US of Osama's involvement that were later rejected by Bush administration, and finally, it came under US attack which is still hunting Taliban in Afghanistan.


The world, however, accepted Osama's involvement, not because Osama was involved, but because US claimed that Osama was behind the attack.


There is another question; killing of Osama by American forces, celebrating of Americans over his assassination and offering congratulations by US to his own people over this great job is understandable. Because Osama had attacked on America; he had killed Americans; so America killed him. But; why entire world celebrated over his assassination; why people fear to express his opinion in support of him?


The reason is very clear; because, the God of world might be anger. US could cancel the aid which it gives to various countries. US could slap sanctions because they supported terrorists. So, everything was possible. So, why various countries will handover themselves into trouble; they know very well that supporting of Osama cannot bring any advantages for them, while supporting of US can bring more US aid in their countries.


We hate Osama because he selected wrong path; as people say. He killed civilians; as US claims. There is a question. Who did not use the violence?


In every country, we could find leaders who used violence and killed thousands of civilians just for political reasons.


The world knows very well who used violence as a weapon to extend its wings across the world.


Osama was not only the merchant of death. Every society has thousands merchants of death in the garb of politicians, reformists, and so on.


The world, which is celebrating of killing of one person, never expressed its concern over killing of millions ordinary people, who either have been murdered by US air strike or died in hospitals due to serious injuries and those who escaped from dying, are facing brutal dilemma in their life.


No one asked from US how many terrorists have been killed, while thousands of civilians beheaded in drone attacks in tribal areas of Pakistan.


Thousands of civilians had been killed in terrorist attacks of LTTE in Sri Lanka since 1980s to May 1999.


According to a report, “the LTTE is notorious for having pioneered the suicide bomb jacket, as well as the use of women in suicide attacks. They are blamed for a dozen high-level assassinations, over two hundred suicide attacks, and its war against the government has cost more than seventy thousand lives” (http://www.cfr.org/terrorist-organizations)


But, no any drone had been sent to Sri Lanka to kill Parbhakaran. And he was not most wanted person in the world. The reason is very clear; US didn't call him a dangerous person, so why world will say that he is most dangerous person in the world?


These things show; what Osama did is not important before the world. The most important thing is who called Osama a terrorist.


If millions killed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Lebanon, Somalia, Chechnya, so what happened. Their killing is not more important. The important is the relation between US and other countries.


Most countries in the world get millions dollars as an aid every year from US, so why they will wish to speak against killing of civilians; while supporting of US and being the part of its allies in killing civilians; might increase more aid and favor from US.


Few decades ago, when Afghans were fighting with Soviets in their homeland; US called them Mujahid; US supported them and Osama too; at that time Osama and his colleagues were Mujahid because US had claiming; and what US said how world can refuse it. So, Osama was a Mujahid in entire world. But, few decades later, the situation changed completely.


This time, Osama is not a Mujahid, He is a terrorist, because US says; how world can refuse it, so, he is a terrorist in entire glob; because US says.


I think; who are terrorists and who are not; the world has no relation with them. The most important thing, who called them a terrorist?


US says Osama is a terrorist, so, he is a terrorist for all of us and that's it.

Dilemma of Muslim students who come out from schools and universities

By

Abdul Hannan Siwani Nadvi

Importance of education is unarguable. Islam is the first religion that acknowledged the world about knowledge and education. The first four verses of Qura'an reveled to Prophet Mohammad (Sallal laho alaihe wasalam), states only about education and knowledge.

Allah says; Read [O Muhammad!] in the name of your Lord who created. (96.1) He created man from a clot. (96.2) Read, and your Lord is the Most Honorable (96.3) who taught with the pen. (96.4)

In these four verses, Allah says nothing why He selected Prophet Mohammad (Sallal laho alaihe wasalam) as His messenger, or what he has to do, Allah keeps silent at this moment.

He starts delivering His message to Prophet Mohammad (Sallal laho alaihe wasalam) with word “Read”. It's mean reading and making literate is a very most and significant tool in changing the phenomenon of the world.

This time, education is the most and significant topic of discussion in every country. Getting education and establishing world-class educational institutions has become a distinction in this era. Even the trend of going abroad, taking admission in famous and prominent schools and universities, and studying there is advancing very rapidly.

This is a very good sign and it shows that world has conceded the endowment of education.

Now, when it has been established that education is very must for every individual; question arises; which education is the best for human beings? Which education should be taught in schools and universities? Does modern educational system which is continuing in schools and universities, is the best educational system? Does the syllabus is being taught in schools and universities playing a role in damaging Muslims identity in India? Does current modern educational system depriving Muslims from Islam?

Such as, there are endless questions about modern education and its systems that are being applied into schools and universities.

First we see which education Islam likes.

Qura'an sheds the light with details on the education that is the best for all human beings and humanities. Qura'an encourages human beings to get all education that makes them closer to Allah, helps them in protecting society from bad elements and makes them a civilized nation and citizens.

Here is a misperception rules in Muslim community that Islam dislikes technical education, in other words modern education, or the education which is going on in schools and universities this time.

This perception and notion have been made by Muslims themselves because they kept themselves away from Qura'an and Islam. Muslims do not read Qura'an, as they understand reading the Qura'an would leave them away from modern education, and thus, they could not become a successful engineer or doctor or advocate, or architecture etc.

Now; let us see what Qura'an says;

Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? (17) And at the heaven, how it is raised? (18) And the mountains, how they are rooted (and fixed firm)? (19) And at the earth, how it is outspread? (20) (Surah. AlGhashiyah)

In these verses, Qura'an asks Muslims and everyone to look camel, heaven, mountains and earth that how and why it is created and made useful for human beings. These verses of Qura'an ask Muslims to do research, open research institutions and teach their children the education that makes them closer to Allah.

Qura'an wants that human beings do develop themselves, fly into sky, use laptop, mobile, I-Pad, I-Phone, and take benefits from all technologies are available in this planet. In response of using these technologies, human beings prevent themselves from joining any partner with Him, protect themselves from all sins that make Allah angry, and be thankful of Him that He awarded them these graces and facilities so that they can live in this world peacefully and establish the system of justice for all humanities.

These and other Qur'anic verses reject Muslim's misperception about modern education. So, this education is not banned in Islam. However, the system of this education Muslims are getting in schools and universities in India is a questionable.

Eventually, young Muslim generation that is going to schools and universities to take modern education turning them out from Islamic teachings as well as the tendency to keep Islamic identity alive is also decreasing in young Muslim generation.

This young Muslim generation is unaware about Islam, rights of parents, rights of neighbors, rights of common man; Islamic history; Islamic teachings; Islamic role and regulations; Muslim's history; how Islam spread in Mekkah; how it reached to other countries; what had happened with Muslims in Spain; how Muslim rulers established Islamic system; who are Muslims scientists; how many Muslim scientists were; what were their contribution in science; how the fall of Muslims started; how many years Muslims ruled on India; how Islam arrived here; what Muslim rulers did in this country; what were their history; what Muslims did with other nations and vice versa? What is the economic system of Islam? What are the rights of Muslim women in Islam? And such as a lot of questions and information this Muslim generation does not know.

Today, Muslim names have much familiar in every professional field, but hardly their attitude and their culture shows that they are the followers of Islam.

AMU, JMI, Jamia Hamdard and other Muslim universities had been established to arrange a best platform of modern education to Muslim students, producing an Islamic atmosphere in their campuses so that Muslim students able to play a role in society with Islamic identity.

This concept, however, has changed. These Muslim universities in making of its secular image, failed to create the generation that be Imam in modern education as well as they be a true follower of Islam too.

Most Muslim students, who come out from these universities do not know ABCD of Islam. The young Muslim generation that is studying there is growing up in the atmosphere that is turning them out from Islamic atmosphere and Islamic education.

Every year, Muslim universities produce thousands of Muslim students, but they go where; joining of this new blood with Indian society why leaves no effect on Muslim's situation.

This time Muslim's presence in medical, technical, IT and other professional fields is on rise. Their situation is transforming very rapidly. Young Muslim generation is thinking very positively. Educational rates have increased in Muslim community. Muslims, specially, poor Muslims have learned the tactic to fight against poverty and illiteracy.

The situation, which was after the independence, is not now. On various levels, Muslims gained their confidence. But, the saddest angel of it, this young Muslim generation is not getting proper education that teach them about Islam, Muslims and Islamic history enabling them to play a role in technical fields.

Many Muslims, this time, are working in professional fields and they have respect and place there. However, they unable to present the true image of Islam in their respected fields, they never went to Masjid to offer prayers there, even Friday prayer. They do not know what are Zakat, Namaz, Haj etcetera; so, how we expect some hopes from them?

None of them can be seen as a defender of Islam and Muslims. Even many of them support anti-Islamic movement, or anti-Islamic ideologies, and sometimes, they pose more dangerous than Hindutva goons; why is it happening? Why Islam and Muslims find no sympathizers even from young Muslim generation.

The reason is very clear. These young Muslim girls and boys have no knowledge about Islam and Muslims. They spend five years or seven years in schools and colleges; where they get technical education; but, there is no arrangement of delivering the education about Islam and Islamic history to them.

My so many friends who are the students of these universities and colleges, they neither perform prayers five time a day, nor keep fast during the month of Ramzan. Their life style lands me in shock; what education they got; how they can defend Islam and Muslims in that atmosphere? How we expect from them that they will present the true picture of Islam and Muslims before other nations?

Muslims, as a Muslim community and as a believer of Islam hardly survive in this country, if this situation remains to continue.

Staying of young educated Muslim generations away from Islam and Islamic history is not a good sign for Indian Muslims.

Our ancestors didn't fight for the generation that is Imam in modern education; while it knows nothing about its history, its religion and its identity.

Need of the hour that Muslim intellectuals think on this angel; why this kind of negligence, specially about Islam is increasing in Muslim students; which kind of Muslim generation growing is; how this young generation can be a fruitful for Islam, Muslims and the country?

Modern education; avails and bad effects on society

By

Abdul Hannan Siwani Nadvi

Usually, this perception rules in society that modern education system requires no reformation and changes in syllabus, as it is being taught in English medium, besides it, a committee, comprising well-qualified educationists monitor the syllabus every time and every year and the changes to be made, if it is necessary, as well as, governments spent lakhs rupees every year on monitoring and preparing new syllabus.

In this era, in which we are living, education and information has become a part and parcel of the society. Even no one can survive without it, particularly, in this age, when every time and every day we meet with new technologies.

Every country is promoting education and bringing awareness among people to remove illiteracy from the society.

Today, a network of educational institutions has mushroomed in every country. Every year, hundreds and thousands of students come out from these institutions. These students according to their qualifications and capacities, get the job anywhere in the world and try to start a new life.

No doubt; revolution of human beings in technical fields made the life very easy. It reduced the travel times from days into few hours. It made human beings capable to fly into sky. Computers, Internet, flying airplanes, mobile, 3d, I-pad, I-phone etc are the greatest innovations of this modern education system.

These are some advantages of this modern education system. Its momentous role in bringing new technologies and introducing it with the world is undeniable.

Now; let us see the other side of this modern education system and its undeniable horrible effects on entire world.

In this era, when materialism has slinked into the society, everyone is dreaming to get higher education enabling him to make more money.

Eventually, this time the concept of education has changed. When we were children, we had been reading that education helps in building up a civilized society. Education makes human beings a good citizen where every individual and older people enjoy a good atmosphere.

Today, it is called stereotype ideas. Education, particularly, higher education is being taken to make life style batter. In short words, education has become a source of making money, whether it comes from illegal ways.

Modern education system is making Engineers, doctors, architect, great businessmen, economists, politicians, educationists and so on, but this modern education system didn't make generation that spread peace in the society; the generation that keep itself away from crimes; the generation that respect their parents; not betray them from their homes and from their lives; the generation whose education, manner, behavior instill the society with happiness and cheerfulness; the generation whose presence in the society force bad elements to leave it; the generation who help each others, not kill each others for politics, for religion, for getting higher position; the generation who spread love, peace, respect and honor.

Does this modern education system delivered like that generation? Does this modern education system saved the society from bad deeds?

These things might be named stereotyped ideas. But, why entire India relied behind Anna Hazare to fight corruption? Will corruption to be finished just passing Lokpal bill? In the society, where from top to bottom everything is not in its right place, even the money to be paid to take breath; and where the educated generation is itself is the part of this corruption and incapable in removing it from the society; can any movement finish the corruption overnight? This is just an idle talk.

Any way, we were discussing on modern education system. So, the students of these modern educational institutions might be a master in assembling various spare parts? They may have learned how the boss been impressed? How can the business be progressed? And so on.

However, do we ready to believe; technologies, innovations, establishment of new institutions and new research to boost economic condition not work everywhere. There are so many faculties in daily life which require no technologies.

The generation which is the product of this modern education system, is unaware about other relations which are an essential part of every society. For example, the students come out from these modern educational institutions do not know the rights of parents; rights of neighbors; rights of wife; rights of husband; and about vary, very small things that play in keeping relationships save from falling into chaos.

The education is being delivered there cannot be used in homes, where parents, wife, sisters, brothers, relatives and neighbors meet with each others; share some very precious moments that convey a wave of happiness for everyone.

This is a very important question and every human being has to search the answer of this question, as it is related to the society, where we live in. It is related to the life of every individual, whether he lives in anywhere of the world.

Does education's aims are mere delivering technical education? Can only technical education solve all elements of the society?

Do standing the society on the verge of collapse; advanced greed and eagerness of making more money in the people, and struggling of new and young generation with irremediable disease not call us to think how much modern education successful is?

There is a question; why modern educated generation and educated society has failed in solving the elements, society and everyone is struggling with it? Why modern education system became failed in throwing the good result out?

As literacy rates in the country, as well as, across the glob are on rise, crime rates are increasing, rather than reducing,

Every year, thousands of educated students holding degrees from honorable and prominent educational institutions are coming out, on the other hand, corruptions, price rise, new and irremediable diseases, rapes, murder, occupying other's plots, embezzlement, sexual exploitation of women and girls, significantly, falling of young generation into drugs and immoral activities that are destroying their health and like that incidents are taking place more. Why; what are the reasons behind them; are we thought for a moment about it?

When the time comes for these students to enlighten the world with their knowledge and to show what they have learned there, they instill the world with wars and bloodsheds; is it not true?

These students of this modern education system use new technologies to destroy others, as the glob has experienced it in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, where hundreds of thousands of people fallen as dead in just few seconds, and this time, it is being reproduced in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Palestine and in various parts of the world. Are these facts wrong? Who did it; these deeds have been done by most educated generation and by most developed country; is it not true?

It is seen; when modern education system suggested nothing, as well as, the pressure from various sections of the society was mounting on government to tackle immoral activities that were spreading very rapidly and when there was no way but to take some steps, so, the government legalized the crimes and immoral activities, various western and European countries legalized some crimes in order to decrease crime rates.

Prostitution, Gay culture, Lesbian culture, and various other immoral activities, such as live in relationship etc, which were a taboo in the society legalized in the name of fundamental rights, as current and modern education system was incapable in bringing any solution to prevent it from happening.

Is it not true; increasing the trend of legalizing immoral activities landed the society into irremediable disease?

Aids is the latest example of these immoral anarchism. This disease has gulped down hundreds of thousands of lives in the world. Same numbers are lying in beds and the fear is that hundreds of thousands would be killed in years to come due to this disease. Doctors, scientists and new technologies are incapable in removing this disease from the society. Who will take the responsibility of these deaths? Does modern education system not to be hold accountable for this chaos?

This is a bitter truth of our society, but, we know the world and society cannot accept this big blunder of this modern education system even millions to be killed in hiding the truth, as it is happening everywhere.

These facts state that innovations and new technologies failed in solving every bad element of the society.

Laptop, computer, cars, metro trains and browsing Internet cannot solve every problem of human beings.

My intention is not of undermining these technologies. Technologies shine in its place. Technologies dominance in the society cannot make it free from all bad elements.

The fact itself is stating the bad effects of modern education. Powerful countries are using education to make more dangerous weapons that empower them to destroy whole world in just few minutes. All new technologies are being used to destroy this planet. This time, entire glob is presenting a scene of war. Peace just remained a word. Every community and every country is killing oppositions claming it is bringing reformations and peace.

It is bitter fact that establishment of world-class higher education system cannot remove the castes and untouchable system from the society. Caste and creed have become the measure for the people of this class to get benefits from government's schemes.

If we are educated, then why the world is living in war? Why justice finds no a place in the world? Why these technologies are being used to kill us? Why castes left the communities divided? Why government's every effort to bring the crime to an end meets with failure?

If modern Education makes human being a civilized person, if it prevents society and every individual from falling into corruptions, violence, war, conflicts, rapes, killing, and bigotry, if it helps government in removing poverty and bad deeds that makes the society a hell, then why every person in the society is still struggling for a peaceful atmosphere, for a society free from corruption, poverty, violence? How long time, the students of these institutions need to defeat these bad deeds?

Whether we have to accept it or not, this time, the flag of all illegal activities, on national and international level, is in the hand of educated people; why is it so?

In my childhood, we had been lessening; dacoits came; dacoits came; today, there is no dacoit in our society. Today, we never heard that dacoit came; because their place taken by today's educated people who came out from these modern schools and universities.

Million rupees scams; occupying the resources of other countries, massacres of human beings, destroying religious places and displacing of poor class of the society are a work of these educated people.

If modern education becomes failure in preventing the society from these elements or the generation that is getting education is incapable in solving the problems of the society, it’s mean, either education or the generation that is getting this modern education, is unaware how to be faced and put the problems on an end.

These facts and truth of our society stating blatantly that time has come to bring the changes in modern education system.

The education which constitute fear of Allah in boys and girls, prevent them from bad elements, and play a role in making them a good citizen, must be built up.

The education that makes them feel of accountable of everything they do in their daily life, secretly or openly, must be introduced. The education that teaches people to live as human beings not like as animal, must be introduced there.

The modern education system must be reformed, because technologies always not shine, but right education always remains into work, as well as, right education can save the world and society from chaos and destruction.

Any way, there is less hope that this so-called educated generation will be ready to bring reformation in modern education system, but, if it continues into effect without changes in its syllabus, a day this world would be break down.

Tsunami, floods, climate change, wars, earthquakes; destructions in nuclear power plants in Japan, increasing diseases and violence in the society and poverty, that all are a handy work of this modern education system are an alarming signals for all and for every individual that the world is near on collapse if the changes, very urgently, not to be made in modern education system.
