إهانة القرآن ، والعالم الإسلامي

بقلم : عبد الحنان السيواني الندوي

في هذا الوقت، يزيد عدد المسلمين في البلدان المسلمة وغير المسلمة في العالم. كذلك شاهدنا ثورة ضد النظام الجائر، ومظاهرة ضد البطالة ، وإجتماعات مكثفة ضد الأزمة الإقتصادية ، ومهرجانات بمناسبة نجاح الجهود والثورات. الصحف اليومية مليئة بالإنتقادات اللاذعة والهجوم الشامل ضد الفساد وعلى زيادة الجرائم الجنسية ضد النساء والبنات ، رأينا النشطاء والصحافيين والليبراليين منتقدين على كل من يتكلم ضد السينما أو ضد الفنان.

أثناء تلك التطورات اليومية والأسبوعية والشهرية ، حدثت واقعة إحراق المصحف الشريف في أفغانستان حيثما خرج الشعب الأفغاني تنديداً عملية إحراق المصحف الشريف بأيدي القوات الامريكية الموجودة في أفغانستان. رأينا مظاهرات حاشدة وعنيفة في أفغانستان وفي بعض الدول المسلمة حيثما بعض المسلمين الذين كانوا شاركوا فيها سقطوا قتيلاً وجريحاً، حتى هذه المظاهرات إستمرت لعدة أيام، وانتهت بعد إعتذار من الرئيس الأمريكي.

هذه الواقعة كشفت الحقائق وكيد الخائنين في الأمراء والحكام المسلمين الذين يفضلون السياسة على الدين. شوهد أن معظم البلدان المسلمة شاركت في الحرب ضد الإرهاب مع الحلفاء الآخرين واتخذت جميع الإجراءات لمنع العناصر من إستخدام إراضيها للأعمال الإرهابية. وهذا كان حدث لأن السياسة كانت طلبت منها لقيام ذلك. وإنها ساكتة الآن على حادثة إهانة القرآن لأن السياسة تطلب منها على عدم التدخل في هذا الموضوع لأن الأصدقاء السياسيين في العالم لم يطلبوا منها لإتخاذ موقف حاسم تجاه الأعمال الإجرامية التي تقع دورياً في العالم بأيدي أعداء الإسلام لكشف حقدهم وغضبهم عن الإسلام.

فالبلدان المسلمة قد كانت إختارت السكوت عليها ولم تقل كلمة ضد تلك الأعمال الإجرامية التي قد تم قيامها بأيدي القوات الأمريكية.

المسلمون في العالم كانوا ينتظرون من الصحافيين المسلمين والشخصيات السياسية المسلمة والرؤساء المسلمين والشخصيات التي يقوم بأعمالهم في السينما التصريحات التي تندد عمل إحراق المصحف الشريف لكنهم لم يقولوا كلمة ، كما لم يحدث شيئاً.

هذا الشيئ غير مطلوب من حكام البلدان المسلمة والشخصيات المسلمة ، ومثل ذلك الموقف يكشف أهدافهم السياسية التي لن تخدمهم في حالة إستمرار تلك السياسة ضد المصحف الشريف.

It was not just merely violence


By

Abdul Hannan Siwani Nadvi


Gujarat 2002 genocide marks 10th anniversary this year. During these periods, there were so many changes and transformation in thoughts and ideologies shifted from one to another. If there have been voices asking Muslims to forget it, on the other side, there have been a silent conspiracy by majority community to downplay the horrific blood and guts administrated by known and renowned players.


Terming of Gujarat 2002 genocide merely violence by a vast section of media, journalists and academics is a bid to give little weight to the horrific carnage that left more than 2000 dead, more than five lakhs displaced people and that left thousands of women humiliated collectively to punish them and their community mentally for long time. Downplaying of horrific carnage demonstrates their discourtesy and hypocrisy they have in their minds and hearts.


It was neither violence nor just riots that had taken place. It was beyond doubt a genocide in which cadres of all wings of Hindutva forces had joined hand to carry out what they wanted against a particular community under the supervision of state administrations. Women and girls raped, torched, their stomach pierced and burnt alive in broad daylight to hide the evidences of their cruelty. All boundaries of humanity crossed there, even humanity puts down its head in shame.


In this genocide, entire state machineries from top to bottom, directly or indirectly, intentionally or unintentionally, deliberately or unwittingly were involved. Even limited time table with all details of Muslims had been given to the Hindutva forces to vent their anger out. After the genocide ended, state machineries came into motion and attempted to prevent victims from registering FIR, or efforts were made in which perpetrators got bail very easily.


Beyond of fact, the accountability of this genocide and then denial of justice to the affected people goes to State government headed by Modi, likewise, responsibility of minimizing this holocaust and its grievances to arrange a moral station to the organizers of that genocide goes to the so-called secular mask-clad faces, representatives, journalists and businessmen.


The renowned faces of India, politicians and religious dress clad personalities of different communities, lecture people of having life free from violence asking them to give alms to needy people for mental peace, cry over peaceful police action against so-called corruption rally at Ramlila ground terming it a blot on democracy, still maintained silence over this genocide even they didn't say a single small word in favour of the affected people or against state government and masterminds of that horrific carnage that demonstrates that India still a place where people are being killed and slaughtered because of religion especially in the age of Internet.


The most tragic angle of the genocide or the holocaust is that a large number of majority community of Indian society which is busy in getting a peaceful, luxury and happy life, didn't come out collectively and openly against the forces played blood bath and prevented victims to establish their shattered and burnt home again, even there have been a collectively silent effort to call it just merely violence so that state government and masterminds get a moral ground to proud on their inhuman act in anti-minority campaign.


In fact, not only Modi but also a vast number of majority community of India are equal responsible in providing moral shelter to the killers and murderers.


It is a fact, there were hundreds and thousands of people who took part in that massacre but there are millions whose hands are colored with the blood of Indian citizens because they did not come out against such elements openly. They watched horrors, staged on the streets and roads of affected areas, live sitting in their drying rooms but they didn't take to streets and roads against existing of such elements in society or in government even they justify the acts through so-called secular minds terming it just merely violence.


During a decade of harassment, pain and agony, neither the society of Gujarat changed toward Muslims nor the stand of vast number of majority shifted from silent support to open condemnation.


Those who term it just violence indeed they are with murderers. They have something in their minds and hearts but don't want to show their real and ugly face.

Why do certain Muslim intellectuals feel shame in raising their voices in favor of Muslims?

By

Abdul Hannan Siwani Nadvi

Indian-born accursed author’s issue is again making headlines. Certain Muslims and non-Muslims went to extent targeted Ulema, Deoband and Muslims for their peaceful and decent agitation against the accursed writer who is busy in spreading cultural terrorism by his banned novel “The Sstanic Verses”.

Even though Muslim intellectuals feel shame in speaking out for true reasons, some non-Muslim writers came out supporting Muslim's views, asking not to make him a hero who has been hurting Muslim's religious sentiments for years.

In fact, there were a vast number of Muslim intellectuals who were not happy with the campaign started by Muslims against the writer.

They are feeling ashamed over this campaign even they did not delay in advising Muslims how long will they with same mentality; how long will remain in same phenomenon?

In most cases, when Muslims or Islamic identities or its historical personalities and institutions came under attack , such so-called reformists voices to be raised to let vast Majority of Muslims down.

India enjoys the status of a Pluralistic Democratic Republic, granting constitutional rights to its citizens to raise their voices and anger under democratic way if they realize that certain issues that are hurting their sentiments taking place in society. When democratic rights granted to citizens of India, Muslims are one of them, then why a very large number of Muslim intellectuals feel desperate and furious prompting them to lecture Muslims what they do and what not to do.

In every country and society, certain boundaries have been set up for every citizen, whether he enjoys the status of Chief Executive or an ordinary man. That border, which shouldn't be crossed at any rate, is red line for everyone, but that writer not only crossed that boundary but also used inappropriate and indecent language and thoughts against our Prophet Mohammad (Peace be upon him). No one has courage to show his disrespect to any country's historic and revolutionary leaders, President etc, when ordinary human beings are being protected by the law and be granted immunity then why Muslims shouldn't register their voice if their Prophet and Messenger of Allah to be used in certain abusive manner again and again, and the writer instead to be apologetic, try to let Muslims down at every platform by selling and publishing that book.

Freedom of expression or criticism is a different thing. There is no objection in that opinion, but using harsh and abusive language crossing the boundaries of decent behavior and insisting on that language against Prophet Mohammad (Peace be upon him) is a different thing.

When a common person is not allowed to make harsh comments on courts due to their verdicts openly or directly, then how Muslims can allow the so-called abominable writer who doesn't know the difference between a Prophet and an ordinary man, to use hateful words against our Prophet Mohammad.

Speaking in a debate, politically incorrect, aired by NDTV Imagine, Mr. Mani Shankar Aiyar had said that whether Salman Rushdie will come to India or not, it is irrelevant thing, the relevant thing is that what he had said about a Prophet. And he knows that his writings have angered Muslims in India as well as across the glob.

When the voices are arising from certain quarter of society, then why a group of Muslim thinkers and reformists always feel shame or want unleashing sense of desperate in Muslim community. Such thinking is not the sign of healthy reforms and right ideology. Muslims must remain aware of what is happening around them. Such awareness will empower them and will circulate a sense of belonging and sense of secure in the face of the world where a war like climate has been scratched by various elements.

Such sort of Muslim thinkers must consider their attitude and negative ideology, and try to drag Muslim community through right path with right and straight views, avoiding to let the community or country down, adopting all rights and reservations granted by the constitution in a democratic state.

فيها عبرة لأولى الأبصار

بقلم عبد الحنان السيواني الندوي

ترك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم شيئين للمسلمين ، سواء هم ليبراليون أو إسلاميون أو علمانيون، أو حقوقيون أو مصلحون.

وهذان القرآن والسنة ، فرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رسم مستقبل المسلمين وطريقهم الصحيح إلى التقدم والإزدهارمرتبطين بالقرآن والسنة.

بعد إنتهاء الخلافة العثمانية ، مجموعة من المسلمين تركت القرآن والسنة وقبلت الإشتراكية ، والرآسمالية ، والعلمانية للتقدم والإزدهار ولأجل ذلك إنها أسست الجامعات والمؤسسات التعليمية والقانونية والإقتصادية ونفذوا تلك الأفكار والثقافة ما هو ممكن في تنفيذها.

ولأجل ذلك إنها فرضت الحظر على الشعائر الإسلامية وبذلت جهود لمنع المسلمين من المساجد وقراءة القرآن والسنة.

بعد عقود إنتهت حكومات بإيديولوجياتها وسادتها وقادتها، وجاءت حكومات أخرى. إنها قبلت نفس النظام السابق وبذلت جهود كثيرة لقيام نظام جديد ببعض الإصلاحات، وفي الوقت نفسه، تلك الأنظمة كانت غير قادرة في إيجاد حل للقضايا الإجتماعية ، إنها فشلت في خفض البطالة ،إنها فشلت في خفض معدلات الجرائم ، إنها لقيت بالهزيمة في توفير حماية النساء والبنات من المغتصبين واللصوص وقطاع الطرق ومثل ذلك ساد الفساد وانتشر الفوضى وعمت الجرائم وازداد معدل البطالة.

ظهرت حكومات جديدة وإنها وعدت نظاماً وقامت بإصلاحات سياسية وإقتصادية وتعليمية لكنها لم تدرج ولم تسجل ملحوظاً ملموساً رغم قيام الإصلاحات في مجالات شتى.

جاءت الإنتخابات والناس أدلوا أصواتهم لإختيار حزبهم، ظهرت قيادة جديدة مرة أخرى بالوزارء الجدد و بالوعود الجدد وبالإصلاحات الجديدة لكنها كانت ليست قادرة في تحقيق مصالح الشعب والبلاد وهذا العمل يستمر حتى جاءت الثورة.

هذا كل يحدث لأن المسلمين تركوا القرآن والسنة وتوجهوا إلى النظام الذي كان يدفع الناس إلى مستنقع الظلم والفساد.

فالقرآن والسنة موجودة حتى الآن لكن يبدو أن المسلمين بالحكومات لم يقرروا حتى الآن التوجه إلى القرآن والسنة.

فمتي يعود المسلمون إليهما ، ومتى يفهم المسلمون الكامل أن الفلاح والفوز في طريقة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم. ومتى يفهم أن الفشل قد كتب في حظهم بسبب ترك القرآن والسنة.

يجب على المسلمين أن يعودوا إلى أصلهم وإلى دينهم وإلى ثقاتهم الحقيقية وإلا فلا هناك أمل لهم للنجاح والفوز ولا أمل لينفجر شيئي يوصلهم إلى الآعلى.

شرارة الثورة عبرة ودرس لمن لم يفهموا معنى الدنيا والحكومات ودرس لمن يتجاهلون عن الحقائق والحادثات ففيها عبرة لأولى الأبصار.

RTE act 2009, Muslim’s agitation and game of politics

By

Abdul Hannan Siwani Nadvi

Once again, Congress party has promised Muslims for exempting Madarsas and other all minority educational institutions from the ambit of RTE act 2009.

This time, it is repeated by Congress leader Mr. Digvijaya Singh. Such assurances have been made many times by Congress party and its leaders.

When Mr. Rahul Gandhi had visited Draul Uloom Nadvatul Ulema last year and met with Moulana Rabey Hasani Nadvi to discuss Muslims issues, Mr. Rahul Gandhi had said that he would discuss that issue with party high command to keep Madarsas and minority educational institutions out from the ambit of RTE act.

Before it, various Muslim leaders and Ulema have expressed their concern over that act, even Moulana Wali Rahmani, a renowned Islamic scholar, has met many times to HRD minister Mr. Kapil Sibal. He also promised and gave assurances to look into this issue and the amendments will be made to exempt Madarsas and other minority educational institutions from that act. However, all those promises and assurances still just a promise.

Indeed, certain clauses in this act have very severe consequences if that act be placed by each state. Even it gives full power to government and police to change the destiny of Madarsas, particularly independent Madarsas and minority educational institutions, Muslims and non-Muslims.

Since this act came into public domain, Ulema, Muslim thinkers and writers have been objecting on some clauses of this act which is not only against the spirit of good education but also against entire minority educational institutions.

There is a growing concern among Muslim community that this law, which not only will eliminate Muslim's identities but also will pave a legal way to Hindutva sympathizers to crush Islamic identities and its history from India if it be placed without any amendment, could be applied against their religious and modern educational institutions.

Looking to country's political situation, and thus the growing number of communal and biased people in government institutions and BJP ruled states effort to paint government and government-aided schools with saffron color, there is more probability of the use of this law against Madarsas and other educational institutions established and administrated by Muslims only because various states and central governments, in past, have made various efforts, sometimes through Madarsa board, and sometimes through financial aid, to take private Madarsas and Muslim minority educational institutions under their control but it has failed to do so due to strong protest from Ulema and various Muslim's bodies.

This act gives a legal way to ensure state or central governments intention of crushing the independent status of Madarsas and other minority educational institutions.

Muslim personal law board has already started its campaign against RTE act. The current campaign which is “Save Constitutional Rights movement” under the banner of (AIMPLB) is being organized by Moulana Wali Rahmni, secretary, All India Muslim Personal Law Board, who is holding agitations, seminars, discussions and press conferences over RTE act 2009, Direct tax Code bill 2010, Waqf bill 2010 and Denying Right of Inheritance in UP to bring awareness in Muslim community about those laws and their severe negative results on Muslims educational religious and historical climates in India

When congress will take serious step fulfilling its promises, the time will make clear the air over the cloud of the act that will make Madarsas and other Muslim educational institutions fruitless and wipe them out categorically.

Who misled many, and strayed (themselves) from the even way (Qura’an, Maida -77)

By

Abdul Hannan Siwani Nadvi

Anti-Muslims and Anti-Islam lobbyists, Muslims and non-Muslims, are active once again. This time, they are targeting Muslims and Islam over cursed writer's visit to India. They are feeling very odd and shame over not attending of damned and cursed Indian-born British writer Salman Rushdi at Jaipur Literature Festival in Rajasthan. Some of them even went to extent they read some verses of The Satanic Verses in the Festival to express their anger based on hypocrisy.

Some of them called Muslim clergies and Islamic religious institutions as they live in Stone Age. Certain so-called lovers of Literature and Art see it as an extreme violation of freedom of expression.

In fact, these so-called artists and writers instead of contributing true Art; promote cultural terrorism and manipulate with the religious sentiments of every religion and its believers.

Being writer of some novels and due to getting some medals for promoting of shamelessness, they consider themselves as grandfather of so-called Art and Literature, eventually, such sort of so-called thinkers are so accountable in building up Literature and Art terrorism under the garb of such Literature Festivals.

They feel very desperate for not getting much support from certain parts of society to bring the damned writer to India to desecrate the land of this country, enjoys freedom of religions and freedom of expression, from his slatternly and filthy minds and thoughts.

Such writers, like him, who have no respect for women, religions, great personalities, made the history, religions and whose pen and minds always spew venom and disrespect to society and its human being, indeed, they are blot on the earth and deserve a death in public place making them an eternal example for others.

These so-called advocators of Art and Literature, who are spitting their venom against Muslims and Islam, were silent when paintings of M. F. Hussain, Picasso of India and legendary artist, were being destroyed and crushed by Hinduvta activists inside India.

Where they were when M. F. Hussain was being hounded in India? Where they were; when this legendary artist was looking them for help but no one was coming out to help him. Where they were when India's Picasso's paintings worth crores were being crushed before Media and those so-called protectors of Art and Literature? Where they were when M. F. Hussain forced to live in exile? What they did to bring him back to India? Have they courage to pass remarks against Hindutva activists? Why they were silent at that time? Why they did not show courage against such monsters who had betrayed a great artist, who was Picasso of India, an Indian citizen, lived in this country and put the name of this country on top by his paintings and art. Why such great person select self-imposed exile for himself; have they answers?

Today, those who branded Darul Uloom Dewband and Muslims as extremists and militants, eventually, they are communal, they are against Muslims and Islam even they are anti-India by disturbing the communal harmony of Indian society with brining such cursed person who spew venom against our Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), brought the mankind out from Stone Age and from darkness to light.

The person who does not realize and understand the distinction between Prophet of Allah and a common man and doesn't show his respect to Prophet Mohammad, such person has no right to be called a “great writer”. He doesn't deserve of such honor. It is an insult of Art and Literature. It is an insult of writers, intellectuals and thinkers who saved the spirit of Art and Literature. Such person should be banned forever from visiting India. Such persons are themselves strayed, now they are misguiding the whole universal from their wrong thoughts.

Qura’an says about such persons; Who misled many, and strayed (themselves) from the even way (Qura’an, Maida -77)

لماذا فشلت الحضارة الغربية؟

كتبه عبد الحنان السيواني الندوي

قبل عقود الحضارة الغربية كانت تقود العالم – العالم الإسلامي وغير الإسلامي- والناس بغض النظر عن دينهم ومعتقداتهم كانوا يتوجهون إليها معتبرينها رمزاً للنجاح والتقدم والإزدهار لكنها ألقت السلاح في وقت قصير وظهرت إنها كانت غير قادرة في إستجابة مطالب الشعب الغربي.

بعد مضى عقود عليها ، إنها تبحث مكاناً ملاذاً ، ومعتقدوها في حالة حرجة. كيف حدث هذا؟ ولماذا هذه الحضارة الغربية وصلت إلى نهايتها؟ ولماذا إنها فشلت في إيجاد حل للقضايا الإجتماعية والسياسية والدينية والإقتصادية والثقافية التي تزداد يوماً بيوم في المجتمع الغربي؟ لماذا فشلت في إنهاء الفقر والبطالة؟ ولماذا إستسلمت أمام قوة الحضارة الإسلامية؟ هناك قائمة لا نهاية لها لهزائمها وخسارتها في بيتها حيثما الدين الإسلامي ينتشر بسرعة والناس يتوجهون إليه لينقذوا أنفسهم من هيمنتها وقساوتها متوجهين إلى حضارة تنقذهم من عواقبها الوخيمة ومن مناهجها اللادينية.

في الحقيقة ، إنها قد كانت أسست بنيانها على المادية والرأسمالية التي ساهمت وقامت بخدماتها للطبقة الحاكمة والظالمة والأثرياء تاركاً الجماهير في حالتها السيئة التي أدت إلى إنهيار نظام عائلي ونظام إجتماعي حتى المجتمع كله قد وصل إلى الفوضى حيثما الشهوات والمال والثروة والرقص ترك الناس عبيداً لها وهم لا يجدون مخرجاً من هذا الفوضى.

عدد كثير منهم قد يئسوا من الطريقة التي تتنتج عن الحضارة الغربية وهذا اليأس أحياناً يؤدي إلى الإنتحار أو إلى الدين الصحيح الذي يحل قضاياهم الإجتماعية والعائلية والسياسية.

في النهاية هذه الحضارة قد فقدت مصداقيتها بدون تسجيل خطوة جديدة وأخيرة للجيل الجديد الذي لا يريد أن يعيش مثلما عاش آباءه وأجداده.

عليها أن تعترف هزيمتها أمام الجيل الجديد الذي يحرص على بقاءه على القيم الإنسانية والحرية الكاملة بالحياة النبيلة التي تمنعه من الفساد والشر وأنشطة غير أخلاقية تقود الإنسان والمجتمع إلى الفساد الأخلاقي والأمراض الخبيثة التي تغلق أمل حياة سعيدة.
