Protectors of Religion
We are in 21st century now, everything has changed and so have everyone. Who is right and who is wrong, maybe no one can tell. Here we get to see and hear things about people which we can’t even believe. There used to be few people who could understand and teach about religion, but there morals used to be such that people of other religions used to praise them but now they too are running towards power and money just like everyone else.
Here I would like to share an incident: Ahmad Bin Taloon, king of Egypt used to come to Uteda Bin Baker’s conference every year and donate 1,000 denar. This is the time when 1 denar was equal to 15 dharams, and a family could very easily live in 300 dharam a year. These coins were used to be in a bag, with royal seal on it. He continued this routine for 18 years, then one day he got a need to get a fatwa on issue of khilafat, which was not right. He went to Uteda Bin Baker and asked him to give fatwa for him, which he denied on the basis that it’s not right. Ahmed Bin Taloon got angry on this and asked him to either give fatwa in his favor or return all his money he has donated to him. Uteda Bin Baker went straight to his home, and brought all those bags, which were still sealed, and gave it back to him. He said, “even if you give me whole world you can’t buy my faith”. This is such an example in front of us and here we are, who sell their honor, their faith, even their own blood relative for money.
Our some protectors of religion, including Molana Fazal-ul-Rehman, who understand religion, belong to a religious family but still sold themselves for money. Who doesn’t know the changing faces of Molana, when a dictator became our ruler and also now in time of Zardari who is working on same policies, who doesn’t know how he sold himself for 1,200 kanals of army’s land and 6,000 kanals agricultural land (you can read more about it in jang newspaper of 02/11/2008 and 07/11/2008). I don’t think Taliban are disgracing Islam as much as these so called Islamic scholars like Molana.
If we observe, whenever Molana has raised his voice, it has been for monetary benefits. Molana has damaged MMA for same reasons and same thing happened to the work undergoing for creating an alliance of all muslim sects. These incidents makes all Muslims like me feel ashamed. If someone who is not from religious family and isn’t much religious himself does something like that, we can say it is because he doesn’t know much about religion, but someone like Molana whose whole family is religious and knowingly do such things, it is completely unacceptable.
We have to decide for how long these self-proclaimed religious people will keep damaging our religion’s reputation. Now we have to up and bring a change and throw away these powers from our country who are weakening our country’s base.
