Terrorism and Islam

 

This question arises in the minds of the people, during any discussion on religion or world affairs. Muslim stereotypes are perpetuated in every form of the media accompanied by gross misinformation about Islam and Muslims. In fact, such misinformation and false propaganda often leads to discrimination and acts of violence against Muslims.

Oxford Dictionary describes the word terrorism as: 'the use of violent actions in order to achieve political aims or to force a government to act.' The word terrorism was first coined in 1790's during the French Revolution. The years 1793 and 1794 were called as 'The Reign of Terror' or 'Years of Terror.'

During these years Maximilin Robespierre guillotined thousands of innocents. He arrested more than 500,000 out of which he executed 40,000. More than 200,000 were deported and more than 200,000 were starved and tortured to death in the prisons.

Today there is a statement, which is being repeatedly bombarded, especially in the western media and that statement is, 'All Muslims are not Terrorist, but all Terrorist are Muslims.' But here are the historical records on terrorist attacks that speak a different picture:

19th century – We hardly find any terrorist attacks done by Muslims.

1881 – Tsar Alexander was assassinated in a Bomb Blast. He was traveling in a bulletproof carriage in St. Pietersburg Street. The first bomb kills innocent 21 bystanders. The second bomb killed him while he was stepping out of the car. He was killed by Ignacy Hryniewiecki. He was Anarchists.
1886 – Bomb Blast at Haymarket Square, Chicago, during a labour rally. 12 people were killed; one among them was a policeman. Seven policemen were injured and they died in the hospital. The people responsible were 8 Anarchists all of them were non-Muslims.
6 September 1901 – The US President, William McKinley, was shot twice by an Anarchist named Leon Czolgosz. He was a non-Muslim.
1 October 1910 – Bomb blast in Los Angeles at Times newspaper building. 21 were killed. The blast was done by 2 Christians named James and Joseph. They were union leaders.
28 June 1914 – Archduke of Austria and his wife were assassinated which precipitated the World War I. The members of Young Bosnia assassinated them - most of them were Serbs. They were non-Muslims.
16 April 1925 – Bomb Blast in St. Nedelya Church in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. 10,050 were killed and 500 injured. This was the biggest terrorist attack that was done on the soil of Bulgaria. The Bulgarian Communist Party did it. They were non-Muslims.
9 October 1934 – King Alexander I of Yugoslavia was assassinated by a gunman by the name of Vlada Georgieff. He was a non-Muslim.
1 May 1961 – First US plane to be hijacked was not done by a Muslim. It was done by Ramierez Ortiz.
28 August 1968 – The US Ambassador to Guatemala was assassinated by a non-Muslim.
30 July 1969 – The US Ambassador to Japan was knifed by a Japanese non-Muslim.
3 September 1969 – US Ambassador to Brazil was kidnapped by a non-Muslim.
19 April 1995 - The famous attack of the Oklahoma Bombing in which a truck loaded with bombs ran into the federal building of Oklahoma, in which 166 were killed and 100 were injured. Initially in the press it came as 'Middle East Conspiracy'. Later on they came to know that it was done by two Christians named Timothy and Terry.

After World War II from 1941 to 1948, the Jewish Terrorists conducted 259 terrorist attacks.
22 July 1946 – The famous bombing of King David Hotel was conducted under the leadership of Menachem Begin. 91 were killed, out of which 28 were British, 41 Arabs, 17 Jews and 5 others. The Ignun group dressed up as Arabs to show as though the Muslims did this bombing. Menachem Begin was called terrorist number one by the British government. Later on after a few years Menachem Begin the terrorist number one became the Prime Minister of Israel & got a Noble Prize for Peace. Imagine a person who was a terrorist number getting a Noble Prize for Peace. Menachem Begin and others were fighting to get a Jewish state. Before 1945 Israel did not exist in the World Map. These Jewish group were fighting for a Jewish state and later on with the power they kick the Palestinian out and now the same people are calling the same Palestinian who are fighting for a more just cause for getting their land back. And the Israelis label them today as Terrorist.
Hitler killed 6 million Jews. The Palestinians welcome the Jews. Later on the Jews kick the Palestinians out of their own land and when the Palestinians are fighting to get their land back they are labeled as Terrorists. It is like I welcome a stranger in my house. After a few days that person throws me out of my house and when I shout out side my house that I want my house back, you call me a Terrorist.
In Germany from 1968 – 1992, Baader Meinhoff Gang killed several innocent human beings.
In Italy, Red Brigades kidnapped and killed Aldo Moro, the former Prime Minister of Italy.
20 March 1995 - Aum Shinrikyo a Buddhist Cult used Nerve Gas in the Tokyo Subway in which 12 people were killed and 5700 were wounded and injured.
IRA (The Irish Republican Army)

In UK since hundred years IRA (The Irish Republican Army) is conducting Terrorist attacks against UK. They are Catholics. But are never called as Catholic Terrorist. In 1972 IRA conducted 3 bomb blasts. In the first blast 7 were killed, in second blast 11 were killed and in the third 9 were killed.
In 1974 IRA conducted two bomb blasts. First at Guildford Pub in which 5 were killed and 44 injured; second at the Birmingham Pub which killed 21 and injured 182.
In 1996 IRA conducted bomb blast in London in which 2 persons were killed and more than were 100 injured. In the same year IRA conducted bomb blast in Manchester shopping center in which 206 people were injured.
On 1 August, 1998, the 'Banbridge' bomb blast took place. The IRA planted 500 pound of bomb, which was loaded in a car where 35 people were injured.
On 15 August, 1998, 'Omagh' bomb blast took place. IRA planted 500 pound of bomb in a car where 29 people were killed and 330 injured.
On the 4 March, 2001, the BBC was bombed by IRA.
The IRA is never called as Catholic Terrorist. Today the UK government is more afraid of Muslim terrorist. Today Tony Blair is more afraid of the 'Muslim terrorists' than IRA who is conducting terrorist attacks for more than a hundred years. Why?
In Spain and France ETA conducted 36 terrorist attacks. In Africa there are many terrorist organisations. But the most notorious is the 'Lord's Salvation Army'; a Christian terrorist organisation in Uganda. They train young childrens to commit terrorist attacks.

In Sri Lanka, the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam) is the most notorious. It is the most violent terrorist organisation in the world. They are experts in suicide bombings and they even train children to take part in suicide bombings.

Normally people know Palestinian suicide bombings, Iranian suicide bombing, but they don't know that LITTE are people who have popularized to suicide bombings. The LTTE i.e. Tamil tigers, they are Hindus.

In India majority of the terrorist attacks are talked about the Kashmiri militants. In India there are terrorist organization belonging to almost all different religions. We have Sikh terrorist, the 'Bhindranwala' in Punjab. If you go to South Asian Terrorism portal run by Non-Muslims, and if you see the list of terrorist attacks done by all the people, you will find the Muslims in a minority. But that is never highlighted in the media.

On 5 June, 1984, the Indian Security Forces took over the Golden Temple in which 100 people were killed. In retaliation on 31 October, 1984, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her Sikh security guard. In Tripura there are Christian terrorist organizations called ATTF (All Tripura Tiger Force) and NLFT (National Liberation Front of Tripura). On the 2 October, 44 Hindus were killed by these Christian terrorists.

In Assam we have ULFA (United Liberation Front of Assam). ULFA in the 16 years from 1990 to 2006 has conducted successfully 749 confirmed terrorist attacks. The ULFA will put the Kashmiri militants to shame. But in the newspapers we only hear of Kashmiri militant. Why? The ULFA are trained to kill the Muslims, they are Hindus. How many times do we hear about them?

The maximum terrorist attacks, which have been done in India, are done by the Maoists. Only in Nepal, in the past 7 years they have conducted 99 terrorist attacks. According to the Indian Government out of 600 districts in India Maoists are present in 150 districts of India. They have done terrorist attacks in one-third part of India. The Maoists are the biggest dangers to India but yet the Indian Government is afraid of the Muslim terrorist. Why? The reason is George Bush. The Times of India, edition dated 9 September, 2006, reported that 875 rockets and 30 launchers were confiscated by the police. It is the biggest haul in the history of India that the government has confiscated.

From all these things we can surely say that Terrorism is not a Muslim Monopoly. Not a Muslim monopoly, it is not even a specialty of the Muslims. It is not even encouraged by Islam. The Holy Qur'an says in Sura Maidah, chp.5, verse.32, that "If anyone kills any human being, except as a punishment for murder or creating mischief in the land, it will as though he had killed the entire humanity". Most of the religions don't preach that you should kill innocent human being. Terrorism is not the monopoly of any religion.

The human being who has killed the maximum people is Adolf Hitler. Hitler incinerated 6 million Jews. He was Christian. Joseph Stalin (Uncle Joe) killed 20 million human beings; including 14.5 million were starved to death. Mao Tse Tsung of China killed 14 to 20 million human beings. He was Non Muslim. Benito Mussolini of Italy killed 400,000 human beings. Maximilin Robespierre during the French revolution starved and tortured 200,000 people to death and executed 40,000 people. Ashoka in one battle of Kalinga alone killed more than 100,000 people. He was a Hindu. Saddam Hussein killed a few 100 thousands people. But the embargo put by George Bush and the USA alone killed more than half a million Iraqi children. In Indonesia, Muhammad Suharto killed 500,000 people.

This is nothing compared to Hitler or uncle Joe nothing compare to Mao TSE sung each individual will put the Muslims to shame. I am not trying to say that these individual they were religious. If they would have religious then they would not have committed such acts. But yet we find in the international media that the Muslims are called as fundamentalist, extremists and terrorists. The American Revolution took place in the 19th century. According to the British Government the terrorist No. 1 that time was Benjamin Franklin and George Washington.

Views of world's famous personalities

The President of Venezuela, 'Hugo Chavez' says, 'The biggest terrorist in the world is George bush'.
The President Elect of Bolivia, 'Evo Morales', he says that George Bush is a terrorist.
Famous singer and activist of America, Harry Bellefonte says that the biggest terrorist in the world is George Bush.
An MP in UK by the name of George Galloway he said, 'The blood that is on the hands of George Bush and Tony Blair is much more than the bombers who have done bombing in London. It will be justified that a suicide bomber goes and kill Tony Blair without injuring any other human being. This is type of suicide bombing will be justified'.
Former Chief Minister of West Bengal, Jyoti Basu said, 'The biggest terrorist in the world is George Bush'.
Noble prize winner for Peace, Betty Williams said, 'I would love to kill George Bush'.
Solution to terrorism

Politicians should be honest and just and should not do wrong things for the vote bank.
Innocent Indian citizens should not be instigated by the politicians and kill other human beings. Police should be upright and just and protect the innocent. They should not be ploy of the politicians. I know that there are times that they can be transferred. But if every policeman in India is honest, the new policemen who are transferred will also be honest. So what will the politicians do?
People should not take the law in their hand and kill other human being.
Mahatma Gandhi said, " If India has to improve it should be ruled by a dictator as honest and upright as Hadrat Umar (The Caliph of Islam). Dr. Joseph Adam Pearson said, 'People who worry that nuclear weaponry will one day fall in the hands of the Arabs, they fail to realize that the Islamic bomb has already been dropped, it fell the day Prophet MUHAMMED (pbuh) was born'.

Democracy in Islam

You see, all of us says, “Democracy is good”, “Democracy is right”. But no one actually ready to define Democracy. There is a need to know, is democracy good in Islam or not? But first of all we have to understand that what democracy is?

U.S. president Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) defined democracy as: “Government of the people, by the people, for the people”

This is one famous definition of democracy. Democracy is generally defined as a form of government in which all adult citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives. Ideally, this includes equal (and more or less direct) participation in the proposal, development and passage of legislation into law. It can also cover social, economic and cultural conditions that enable the free and equal practice of political freedom.

A very famous poet and thinker of Islam Dr. Allama Mohammad Iqbal defined democracy as:

اس راز کو اک مرد فرنگی نے کیا فاش

ہر چند کہ دانا اسے کھولا نہیں کرتے

جمہوریت اک طرز حکومت ہے کہ جس میں

بندوں کو گنا کرتے ہیں تولا نہیں کرتے

A certain European revealed a secret,

Although the wise do not open the core of the matter.

Democracy is a certain form of government in which

Men are counted but not weighed

In short, democracy is a form of government in which people have authority to make laws of their own will as representative of people “Parliament” has authority to make a law depending upon the opinion of majority regardless of standard of knowledge or qualification of any person. In 1924 when enemies of Islam destroyed the Islamic Caliphate, from that time they are striving to stop the restablishment of Islamic Caliphate in the Muslim world. For this purpose they tried to paste a label of Islamic System on democracy. Most of the muslims who are ignorant of the fundamentals of Islam understand that democracy is not against the teachings of Islam. Due to the absence of a an Islamic State (Khilafah) most of the muslims considered that democracy is good in corrival of dictatorship. So muslims adopted the democratic system to avoid dictatorship. And democracy became standard of politics and government. Muslims did’nt understand that democratic system can never replace the Islamic state (Khilafah).

Democracy is not the name of just voting, elections and to chose political leaders but a system in which law making authority is in the hands of people. It is a system in which people have right to conform or reject any law depending upon the number of votes.

Allah says in Quran, Chapter 12, Yusuf, Verse 67

إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ

“Verily! The decision rests only with Allah.”

In Islam, besides Allah, no one has the right to make laws. Allah is our Creater, our Lord and he knows well that what is good and what is bad for us. It is the responsibility of human to implement the laws of God in his society. So, in Islam, Democracy is kufar. It is a shirk. Because in Democracy, “Parliament” has right to pass or reject any law whether it is against to Islamic Sharia or not. As we can see that assemblies in this democratic system have passed many anti-islamic laws like interest (Banking), insurance, stock markets and many other laws against Islamic Sharia’a.

Allah says in Quran, Chapter 2, Al Baqara, Verse 275

الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ الرِّبَا لَا يَقُومُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُومُ الَّذِي يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسِّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّمَا الْبَيْعُ مِثْلُ الرِّبَا ۗ وَأَحَلَّ اللَّهُ الْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبَا ۚ فَمَن جَاءَهُ مَوْعِظَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ فَانتَهَىٰ فَلَهُ مَا سَلَفَ وَأَمْرُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ وَمَنْ عَادَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ

“Those who eat Riba (usury) will not stand (on the Day of Resurrection) except like the standing of a person beaten by Shaitan (Satan) leading him to insanity. That is because they say: "Trading is only like Riba (usury)," whereas Allah has permitted trading and forbidden Riba (usury). So whosoever receives an admonition from his Lord and stops eating Riba (usury) shall not be punished for the past; his case is for Allah (to judge); but whoever returns [to Riba (usury)], such are the dwellers of the Fire - they will abide therein.”

Allah says in Quran, Chapter 33, Al Ahzaab, Verse 36

وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَن يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ ۗ وَمَن يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا مُّبِينًا

"It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly strayed into clear error."

In Islam, besides Allah, no one has the right to make laws. The Parliament and Senate who have authority to make law have no actuality in Islam. No form of democracy is perfect either it is parliamentary democracy or presidential democracy. It is kufar either it is Western democracy or a democracy with a label of Islamic democracy. Because it gives authority of making laws to people. Democracy in any form has no value in Islam. So, to support or participate in any democratic system is prohibited in Islam without any doubt.

False struggle for imposition of Islamic Sharia’a by Democracy:

It is a fact that muslims have emotional love for Islam. So they want an Islamic system in world. But today, due to false propaganda of media and enemies of Islam against Islamic Sharia’a they have many misconceptions. They understand Islamic Caliphate, a state of terrorism or something else. Therefore they do favour of democratic system and consider it a last hope for the solution of humanity. Some of them believes that democracy cant replace the Islamic System but according to them it is so difficult to establish an Islamic Caliphate. They don’t want to oppose the democratic system. They believes in that “Imposition of Islamic Sharia’a by Democracy” can be possible. But in fact it is impossible.

Introduction of “Shariat Bill” is also like this false struggle. Because, first of all there is no need of voting for imposition of Islamic Sharia’a. Secondly, orders of Sharia’a are not under the choise of majority. Suppose, In this case, today majority of people is in the favour of Sharia’a. But when some people will feel un comfortable, they can introduce a “Non-Shariat Bill”. It is like to make fun of Islamic Sharia’a. It is not the imposition of Islamic Sharia’a but that of democracy. No one has authority to reject the laws of Sharia’a.

Allah says in Quran, Chapter 5, Al Maydah, Verse 49

وَأَنِ احْكُم بَيْنَهُم بِمَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ وَاحْذَرْهُمْ أَن يَفْتِنُوكَ عَن بَعْضِ مَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ

“And judge, [O Muhammad], between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations and beware of them, lest they tempt you away from some of what Allah has revealed to you.”

When constitution of any state gives authority to people to make laws of their own will it is a non-islamic state whether punishment of a theif is to cut hand in such state. Because islamic state is the state in which constitution is made on the basis of teachings of Quran and Authentic Hadiths. And the source of all laws will be the Word of God (Quran).

Allah says in Quran, Chapter 59, Al Hashar, Verse 7

وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانتَهُوا

"When the Prophet (SAWS) gives you something, take it and when he refrains you from anything, keep yourselves away from it."

Allah says in Quran, Chapter 4, Al Nisa, Verse 65

فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّىٰ يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُوا فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ حَرَجًا مِّمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَيُسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا

"But nay, by thy Lord, they will not believe (in truth) until they make thee judge of what is in dispute between them and find within themselves no dislike of that which thou decidest, and submit with full submission."

Islamic Caliphate is the only state for which we find arguments from Islam. Which is totally opposite to democratic state, because in an Islamic Caliphate only Allah has the supreme authority in true sense. Power of making law belongs to Allah. No one has the authority to reject the law of God even the cailiph of state is unable to do it.

Allah says in Quran, Chapter 28, Al Qasas, Verse 50

فَإِن لَّمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا لَكَ فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّمَا يَتَّبِعُونَ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ ۚ وَمَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّنِ اتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ بِغَيْرِ هُدًى مِّنَ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ

“But if they do not respond to you - then know that they only follow their [own] desires. And who is more astray than one who follows his desire without guidance from Allah ? Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.”

Democracy is a governing style of western civilization and muslims should reject this. Allah has chosen for muslims only the Islamic Caliphate.

Election or Voting:

As far as election or voting is concerned, it is only a method for chosing a person for performing a specific job. Islamic Sharia’a permits to use such method for selection but within the boundary of Sharia’a. For example the selection of a monitor or representative of a class. Similarly, the selection of representative of “Majlis e Shoora” or the selection of Caliph can be done by it. It is the duty of Caliph to impose the laws of God in society and Caliph is also under the laws of God. So election or votiong itself is not haraam in Islam but when this method is adopted in a democratic system it is also haraam.

As we have seen all facts about Democracy, it is a form of non-Islamic government. It is not permissible for any muslim to participate in such kind of voting or election because by doing this his representative sitting in the Parliament will make laws himself, which is a shirk (to associate partner with Allah). So in a democratic system voting is haraam.

Our Creater knows well that what is good and what is bad for us. So we have to obey our Creater in any condition, if we want to become succeed in this world and hereafter. For this purpose, there is a need to establish an Islamic State (Khilafat) where every law will be according to the order of Creater. Which He has sent down (Quran) for our guidance. We have to speed up the struggle to establish Islamic Khilafat. This is only the solution for us.

The Meaning of Kalma Tayyaba

 

Everyone knows that muslims are being oppressed for hundreds of years around the world and what is happening in Palastine, Kashmir, Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Bosnia, East Turkestan etc. Muslims are suffering in every part of world in different ways. Today blood of a muslim has no value. There are 1.5 billion muslims on the face of earth but they have no respect anywhere. On the other hand Media of jews is making fun of Islam and Muslims but no one can stop the falsa propaganda of media against Islam. Everywhere muslims are being oppressed, muslims are suffering but no Salahudin Ayubi, no Tariq bin Ziyad, no Mohammad Bin Qasim comes to help this Ummah of Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him.

Allama Iqbal described the prayer of Tariq ibn e Ziyad in the Battlefield of Andalusia in his poetry.

These warriors, victorious, These worshippers of Thine,
Whom Thou hast granted the will to win power in Thy name;

Who cleave rivers and woods in twain,
Whose terror turns mountains into dust;

They care not for the world;
They care not for its pleasures;

In their passion, in their zeal, In their love for Thee, O Lord,
They aim at martyrdom, Not the rule of the earth.

In the flower-bed, Rose is waiting from long time
The Color from Arabs' blood

Thou hast united warring tribes,
In thought, in deed, in prayer.

The burning fire that life had sought For centuries,
Was found in them at last.

They think of death, not as life’s end,
But as the ennobling of the heart.

Make alive in the heart of a Muslim again
That Power the slogan 'My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers' had.

La-Tazar (Verse 26 of Surah Nuh- No. 71 - Quran)

Awaken in them an iron will,
And make their eye a sharpened sword.

Every muslim is worried to think that why this beloved Ummah of Prophet Mohammd peace be upon him is so helpless today? Why Muslims have lost their respect? Why disbelievers have overcome the believers? When muslims believes that There is no God but Allah, and Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him is the last and final messanger of Allah.

There is no God but Allah, and Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him is the messanger of God.

This Kalma was the reason of Islamic Revolution which came in the land of Arab 1400 years ago. This Kalma was the golden secret of success of muslims of that time. They were together regardless of any difference of race colour and language. They spread the light of teachings of ALLAH and His Messanger Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him around the world. Today we also recite this kalma but we are unable to resist slavery of Kufar. To know the reason we have to understand first the meaning of Kalma Tayabba that is "There is no God but Allah, and Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him is the messanger of God." Without understanding the meaning of this Kalma no one can claim to be a true believer but after repeating this Kalma he is entered in Islam.

Allama Iqbal says,

If angelic art and celestial lore

The ills of Muslims can not cure,

Worthless they are and of no use,

Of fact so true you must be sure.

Your reveries deep and rapture sweet,

Your worship at the midst of night,

If fail to keep a watch on self,

Are useless quite and have value slight.

The intellect can cast its noose

On the Pleiades and the Moon;

If heart is bʹreft of love for God,

It is not a worthy gift and boon.

If wit incites a man to say

No God but Heʺ it brings no gain:

It. has no worth at all I think,

Unless affirmed by heart and brain.

No wonder great that my discourse

With distraction unbound is fraught:

If it wonʹt spread like rays of morn,

It means such talk has value naught!

Allah says in Quran, Chapter 49, Al Hujrat, Verse 14

"The wandering Arabs say: We believe. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Ye believe not, but rather say "We submit," for the faith hath not yet entered into your hearts."

Only repeating the Kalma by tongue does not complete the faith but acting upon this Kalma by heart is the sign of complete faith. And when someone understand the meaning of this Kalma, he tries to submit his total will to the will of God. When someone submits his will to the will of God he has no fear of anyone other than God. He does not bow in front of anyone else. He asks only Allah for help.

To understand the real meaning of Kalma we should know first that there are two parts of Kalma Tayyaba.

1- There is no God but Allah

2- Mohammad peace be upon him is the messanger of Allah

As usual the meaning of first part is taken as that just not worship the idols, sun and stars. But actually this part has vast meaning. For someone to believe in the onnenss of Allah it is necessary to submit his total will to the will of God.

Allah says in Quran, Chapter 25, Al Furqan, Verse 43

"Hast thou seen him who chooseth for his god his own lust? Wouldst thou then be guardian over him?"

Who chooseth for his god his own lust is like that a man who worship himself. (i.e is follow the orders of his own will). We should see on ourselves that do we follow the orders of Allah in every matter or follow the orders of our own will? If someone is doing this he can not claims to be true believer unless he seeks complete guidance from the word of God (Quran). For such kind of person there is a need to understand the meaning of Kalma. For jews and christians Allah says in Quran, Chapter 9, Al Tauba, Verse 31

"They have taken as lords beside Allah their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah son of Mary, when they were bidden to worship only One God."

Today, do we not doing the same thing as jews and christians did? Do we not commit shirk by giving Authority of making Laws to our Parliment? This shirk damages our Tauheed (i.e to believe in onness of Allah) directly.

Allah says in Quran, Chapter 12, Yusuf, Verse 67

"Lo! the decision rests with Allah only."

Allah says in Quran, Chapter 4, Al Nisa, Verse 48

"Lo! Allah forgiveth not that a partner should be ascribed unto Him. He forgiveth (all) save that to whom He will."

The first part of kalma demands from us to believe in that Allah is enough for us. No Super Power can harm us without the permission of Supreme Power (i.e Allah). He is alone and has no partners.

The second part of Kalma is that "Mohammad peace be upon him is the messanger of Allah." Whoever claims to be a muslim he has to follow the teachings of Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him also. Because Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him is the messanger of Allah.

Allah says in Quran, Chapter 53, Al Najam, Verse 3,4

"Nor doth he speak of (his own) desire. It is naught save an inspiration that is inspired,"

The book Quran was revealed by Almighty God on Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him for the guidance of humanity. When we make it compulsory to follow the teachings of Prophet Mohammd peace be upon him on ourselves in every matter, then there is no need of Adam Smith for the guidance in our Economical issues or to listen the Karl Marx.The second part of Kalma demands from us to follow Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him in every dispute.

This is our first obligation to implement the Economical, Judiciary and Political System of Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him in our society. This is our duty to spread this message to the other people. If we do not so, we will be sinful in the sight of Allah.

Allah says in Quran, Chapter 59, Al Hashar, Verse 7

"When the Prophet (SAWS) gives you something, take it and when he refrains you from anything, keep yourselves away from it."

Where Prophet peace be upon him orders us to do something we should do it and where Prophet peace be upon him refrains us from anything, we should keep ourselves away from it.

O Muslims! you have to feel the importance of this obligation to implement the laws of Sharia'a in your society. If you want to become succeed you have to obey the orders of Allah and Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him. You have to throw out the fear of anyone else from your hearts. Do strive with your wealth and lives in Allah's way. Allah's succour and Victory will come soon Insha'allah. Allah will sent down the angels for your help as he sent his angels in the battlefield of Badar. We have to conquer the world. We have to spread the message of peace throught the world. We have to make this earth peaceful land for everyone. We have to spread the message of Islam.
