Dear Friends,
have gone through
comments of Mr.
Jameel Rahman. He is very right.
Regarding "Salfi teachings from Saudi
Arabia" I do not agree with it. Islam
cannot be linked with Saudi Arabia as
propagated by Hindus and West where many
people believe that Islam is not a religion
but the Arabia culture. The first message
of Allah to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him) came at Hira cave was "Iqra" mean
read. All of us know the saying of Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him that Be educated
even if you have to go to China. Islam
emphasizes more and more on education. After
the battle of Badr the Prophet Muhammad
peace be upon him said that the educated
prisoner will be free if he educate one
muslim. I am personally against the
Mullahism . The word Madrassa is an arabic
word means school. But here in Pakistan it
is branded for the education of extremism.
Anis Zuberi
Sahib is very right that due to poverty
people send their children to madrassas
where they get religious education and also
food and accommodation and even clothing. We
cannot blame the government because Pakistan
is not a welfare state whereas Islam gives
the idea of welfare state but unfortunately
there is no welfare state in the Muslim
world whereas westren countries we can say
are welfare states. I welfare state
education, accommodation, health care,
financial support to old people, orphans and
widows is responsibility of the state. If
we want to get all these basic
facilities/needs we will have to make our
country as welfare state which we cannot in
the present system where feudles and
capitalists are always in the
government. How much we can weep our tears
will become dry and the system will remain
the same because these are the people of any
country who can change the systems.
Wajid
