The zionists are committing genocide in Palestine.
The Hindutva mob is conducting religious pogroms in India.
The last thing sober-minded Muslims need is internal tensions.
Recently, a renowned Pakistani Islamic scholar, Tariq Jamil visited South Africa.
A feature of his discourse over the years has been to promote love and respect, care and compassion among Muslims from different backgrounds.
That hand of love and respect, care and compassion is also extended to the downtrodden, impoverished and oppressed people of the world.
In his parting lecture he appealed to his audience to transcend divisions be they racial, national and sectarian.
He appealed to Muslims, Deobandi, Barelwi and Shi‘i, to live together with love and respect and not create tensions among themselves.
Similarly, he appealed to Indians and Pakistanis to not distance themselves from each other and for Asians and Africans to not separate from each other.
He called on people to reflect on the state of Pakistan today where there is nothing left but destruction because people were prioritizing their ethnic, tribal, sectarian and national identity.
He reminded people of how Allah’s Prophet brought together Arabians, Romans, Persians and Africans as a single Islamic fraternity.
Despite these sublime teachings, there are sectarian bigots who have resorted to vilifying people who call for unity.
Such self-styled Islamic scholars have resorted to language unbecoming of Muslims and they have sunk to the level of calling such a scholar a Mushrik, Munafiq, agent of Dajjal (the Anti-Christ) and agent of Shaitaan (Satan).
Such demeanor is a stark abandonment of the early tradition of Islamic scholarship where differences of opinion were engaged respectfully, until the neo-Salafi trend emerged centuries later.
Unfortunately, these elements within the Muslim community consider the zionists to be Allah’s servants and Allah’s army.
They claim that Allah Subhanahu wa ta‘ala sent his kuffaar servants (Ibaadal lana) to punish the Muslim Ummah of a previous era.
They further assert that Allah ‘Azza wa Jal is punishing the Palestinians for their gross disobedience – fisq, fujoor and kufr and that the Yahood and the kuffaar West have been activated by the Decree of Allah ‘Azza wa Jal for being the medium of His ‘Athaab!
Could the zionists wish for anything more after recruiting such propagandists from within the Muslim community to distort the Qur’an and elevate the zionists to being Allah’s means!?
Muslims have to improve on conflict resolution. This difference has recently cost Muslims more lives in Bangladesh.
The Muslim community in South Africa in particular has been setback due to inter-Muslim tensions over the past two decades.
This is not a time for fueling intra-Muslim fires among Muslims.
It is only the enemies of Muslims who benefit from such internal tensions.
And if two factions of committed Muslims come to fighting against each other, reconcile [the decision-makers of] both of them…. (The Ascendant Qur’an, Surat Al Hujurat, verse 9).
A final word remains to clear up the distortion on Ibadan lana…
Ibadan lana are subjects who specifically belong to Him during the second time of Bani Isra’il’s global corruption.
They have reached positions in world affairs in which they are responsible for wars in the Muslim East against Islamic self-determination. Allah says, when the second time comes, Ibadan lana will enter the Masjid the way they entered the first time around.
Ibadan lana surpasses divisive descriptions and self-centeredness.
Hence, those on the way to liberating Al Masjid Al Haram are neither going to be nationalistic nor sectarian.
