Bales Did Manage to accomplish a Sort of Consensus on Where to Go in Afghanistan


Bales Did Manage to accomplish a Sort of Consensus on Where to Go in Afghanistan
by Anirudh Bhattacharyya
Whatever madness seized him, Bales did manage to accomplish something that Washington’s army of experts hadn’t quite managed — a sort of consensus on where to go in Afghanistan. The answer being: out. All that the Afghan Taliban, the Haqqani network and other ISI-trained terrorists needed was patience. That’s paid off. An accelerated timeline for departing Afghanistan is convenient in an election year or even when America may need to refocus its energies on Iran. …

Some Lessons in Barbarism


Some Lessons in Barbarism
by Praveen Swami
Praveen Swami is the National Bureau Chief of The Hindu
Bashar al-Assad's brutal counter-insurgency crackdown in Syria raises many moral questions. It also raises a less moral, but critical question: does force really win wars? In 69AD, the stoic philosopher, Musonius Rufus, lectured imperial Rome's legions on the evils of a looming civil war. He was saved, historian Cornelius Tacitus tells us, because he “listened to the warnings of the quieter soldiers and the threats of the others, and gave up his untimely wisdom.”…

Rediscovery of Non-Alignment


Rediscovery of Non-Alignment
by Chinmaya R. Gharekhan
Chinmaya R. Gharekhan is former Indian Ambassador to the United Nations
'Nonalignment 2.0' is not without its flaws but on the whole, the document offers a comprehensive view of foreign policy, makes sensible suggestions and is lucid, readable and deserving of wide debate. Eight eminent men — alas, not a single woman — has rendered a very useful and much-needed service by producing “Nonalignment 2.0: A Foreign and Strategic Policy for India in the Twenty First Century.”…

Islam Fully Protects Human Rights of Religious Minorities: Sultan Shahin tells UNHRC at Geneva


Islam Fully Protects Human Rights of Religious Minorities: Sultan Shahin tells UNHRC at Geneva
by Sultan Shahin, Editor, New Age Islam
Sultan Shahin, Editor, New Age Islam
... In several Arab countries including Saudi Arabia, for instance, no religious minority can even build their places of worship. And this when not only international conventions to which they are signatories, but even the religion they claim as their own, Islam, fully stands for minority rights. More than any other country Pakistan seems to be suffering from an epidemic of minority bashing. It is time the UN Human Rights Council reminded these countries to respect their own signatures on the UN conventions, if they cannot follow their own religion.
This is not only giving these Muslim-majority countries, but our religion, Islam itself a bad image, leading to fear of Islam in the minds of many non-Muslims around the world. I would like to bring to the notice of representatives from the world community that our religion, Islam, stands fully for protecting the rights of the practitioners of all religions.  Indeed, the Holy Quran, while giving Muslims permission for the first time to defend themselves with arms, 13 years after the advent of Islam, asked them to do so in order to protect religious freedom per se, religious freedom of Jews, Christians, Hindus and Muslims,  not just the religious freedom of Muslims.
The Quran said in Chapter 22, verse 40: “And had it not been that Allah checks one set of people with another, the monasteries and churches, the synagogues and the mosques, in which His praise is abundantly celebrated would have been utterly destroyed. Clearly this makes it imperative as a religious duty on the part of Muslims to protect by whatever means available to them the rights of religious groups to build and worship God in their churches, synagogues, monasteries, temples, mosques. In Saudi Arabia, Taliban-controlled areas in Pakistan and Boko Haram controlled zones in Nigeria, for instance, it is impossible for religious or sectarian minorities to even build their places of worship, not to speak of practising their religions freely. The verse from Quran quoted above, makes it imperative on Muslims, in my view, to struggle to the best of their ability and resources, to change this situation. At the very least we  should try and convince the authorities in these areas who claim to be Muslim to follow the Quran in letter and spirit and stop adding to the Islamophobia already prevailing in the world....

Crimes against Humanity


Crimes against Humanity
by Hina Hafeezullah Ishaq
Hina Hafeezullah Ishaq is an advocate of the High Court Pakistan
Women are killed on account of honour, not only for allegedly having affairs, but also for exercising a right to choose their partner, an inalienable right guaranteed by Islam and the law. In a sizeable majority of cases, the ‘honour’ that is so dishonoured, is actually a guise for grabbing property. The Quran terms murder of one person equivalent to the slaying of the entire humanity. …

“Madrasa Education is a Clear Violation of the Human Rights of Children”: Sultan Shahin asks UNHRC to make Muslim Countries Stick to their Pious Declarations


“Madrasa Education is a Clear Violation of the Human Rights of Children”: Sultan Shahin asks UNHRC to make Muslim Countries Stick to their Pious Declarations
by Sultan Shahin, Editor, New Age Islam
Sultan Shahin, Editor, New Age Islam
Both the *Declarations emanating from Arab countries, Marrakesh 2010 and Cairo 2009, provided in the report, are full of high-sounding resolutions on protecting the rights of children. But it is wealthy Arab countries that fund the tens of thousands of madrasas running across the Muslim world. As practised today Madrasa Education is a clear violation of the human rights of children to equality, dignity and quality education. Along with funds, the petrodollar-rich Arab countries also provide the core curriculum and text books for these madrasas. This teaching provides basic grounding in an extremist religious outlook that keeps these children from interacting with other communities, even other Muslim sects, and thus deprives them of any possible opportunities for a normal life. …
Most of the children admitted to these Islamic religious schools come from the poorest of the poor families. They are plucked out of their natural environment where they would have learned some skills necessary to survive as working adults. They are brainwashed in the madrasas by some semi-literate Mullahs and once their utility for attracting Arab funds earmarked for madrasa education is finished, they are literally thrown out on streets without any means or skills for survival. The wealthy and middle class Muslims do not send their children to madrasas, as they know that the only careers available to these children is to become low-paid imams or muezzins in village mosques. In some countries, like Pakistan, though, there is another option too. They can turn into suicidal human bombs, bringing some short-term prosperity to their impoverished families, but losing their own lives and killing scores of innocent men, women and children of other religions or other Islamic sects. … I would, therefore, urge the Council, to find some way to make countries stick to the promises and pious declarations they make to appear to be part of the comity of nations. … -- Sultan Shahin, Editor, New Age Islam, addressing the 19th session of UN Human Rights Council at Geneva on 9 March, 2012

Pakistan has Signed but does not Follow UN Protocol on Religious Freedom: Jamil Maqsood tells UNHRC


Pakistan has Signed but does not Follow UN Protocol on Religious Freedom: Jamil Maqsood tells UNHRC
by Sardar Jamil Maqsood
Pakistan has signed convention of civil and political rights and protocol on religious freedom and freedom of thoughts, but the practice of the State and even the laws that have been promulgated there are completely contradictory to the letter and spirit of these conventions. For instance, the 1973 constitution of Pakistan declares “Ahmadis” as non-Muslims in clause 295C. This article is specifically directed against the Ahmadi sect.  No wonder Ahmadis are under attack since that article has been incorporated in the book of law. Anyone accused under this law is not given right to a fair trial.  Same is the fate of Shia minorities in that country. They are constantly under attack by extremists of the majority Sunni sects. ....

Islamic Radicalism Going Mainstream Throughout The East, says Sultan Shahin in a conference at United Nations in Geneva


Islamic Radicalism Going Mainstream Throughout The East, says Sultan Shahin in a conference at United Nations in Geneva
by Sultan Shahin, Editor, New Age Islam
Sultan Shahin, Editor, New Age Islam
Many Muslims, who still hate to be called Wahhabi, have nevertheless developed Salafi attitudes. You will find many Muslims in Pakistan and now also in India walking down the street in Arab dresses, for instance. Beards and hijabs have become common not only in the East but even in the West. Women, whose grandmothers never wore a veil, burqa or a hijab, are donning this symbol of slavery everywhere. Some moderate, liberal Muslims are themselves so affected by Salafi propaganda coming from all sorts of media that in their own minds they have started considering themselves hypocrites. Some are leaving Islam and calling themselves ex-Muslim. These responses are no help.
Mainstream, moderate, liberal Muslims must study their own religion. They will find so much humanity, rationalism and spiritualism in Islam that their doubts will vanish; the spell cast on them by the all-pervasive militant Wahhabi propaganda will cease to have an impact. And then they should stand up and be counted. Whatever little resources they have must be expended to stem this tide. Islam has always defeated this group in the end. It will do so again. But we will have to do something about it. Ideology can only be fought with an ideology, with a better ideology, not with arms and weapons. We have to work at promoting our own ideology, our own understanding of Islam.  As a British Prime Minister once said: “It’s not enough to be nice.” -- Sultan Shahin, Editor, New Age Islam, addressing a conference at The United Nations in Geneva on 14 March 2012, organised and sponsored by INTERNATIONAL HUMANIST AND ETHICAL UNION, NATIONAL SECULAR SOCIETY and NEW AGE ISLAM FOUNDATION.

These are the women of tea parties and coffee parties, newly reincarnated in (post) ‘war on terror Pakistan’ as the newly religious. … the paraphernalia of piety is far more crucial in this game than the actual act. Among the newly pious, partaking of tea and pastries in drawing rooms, the allure of the burqa as a beautiful eccentricity — a newly discovered hobby that elevates morally and distinguishes socially — presents some unique dilemmas.

Science is the study of nature and how it functions. The beauty of science is that when a theory is presented, scientists of that field do not immediately agree with the theoretical claims. Rather, they put the theory to intensive criticism and tests. In contrast, religion is entirely based on dogmas, which in most cases cannot be denied, questioned, critiqued or revoked. …

सऊदी अरब समेत कई अरब देशों में,  उदाहरण के लिए कोई भी धार्मिक अल्पसंख्यक अपने पूजा-स्थल का निर्माण नहीं कर सकते हैं। और ऐसा तब है जब न सिर्फ अंतरराष्ट्रीय कन्वेंशन्ज़ जिस पर उन्होंने दस्तखत किए हैं,  बल्कि इस्लाम धर्म,  जिसे वो अपना होने का दावा करते हैं,  वो भी अल्पसंख्यकों के अधिकारों की बात करता है। किसी भी अन्य देश के मुकाबले पाकिस्तान अल्पसंख्यकों को मारने की महामारी का शिकार लगता है। अगर वो खुद अपने धर्म का पालन नहीं कर सकते हैं,  तो ये वक्त है कि संयुक्त राष्ट्र मानवाधिकार परिषद इन देशों को संयुक्त राष्ट्र अधिवेशन पर किए गए उनके हस्ताक्षर का सम्मान करने की याद दिलाये।

Burn the Burqa, and the Beard


Burn the Burqa, and the Beard
by Saif Shahin, New Age Islam
Saif Shahin is a research scholar at the University of Texas at Austin
FOR some time now, the burqa and the beard have been the most telling pronouncements of Muslimness. You spot a woman in a burqa anywhere in the world and you know that she is a Muslim. Beards are not quite as exclusively Muslim just yet, but the luxurious untrimmed ones, particularly when accompanied by a clean upper lip, are close to becoming so. There is nothing essentially Islamic about either of them.

اسلام مکمل طور پر مذہبی اقلیتوں کے انسانی حقوق کی حفاظت کرتا ہے: سلطان شاہین کا اقوام متحدہ انسانی حقوق کونسل میں تقریر


اسلام مکمل طور پر مذہبی اقلیتوں کے انسانی حقوق کی حفاظت کرتا ہے: سلطان شاہین کا اقوام متحدہ انسانی حقوق کونسل میں تقریر
by سلطان شاہین، ایڈیٹر، نیوایج اسلام
Sultan Shahin, Editor, New Age Islam
سعودی عرب سمیت کئی عرب ممالک میں، مثال کے طور پر ,کوئی  بھی مذہبی اقلیت اپنی عبادت گاہوں کی  تعمیر نہیں کر سکتی ہے۔ اور ایسا تب ہے جب نہ صرف بین الاقوامی کنونشنز جس پر انہوں نے دستخط کئے ہیں، بلکہ مذہب اسلام، جسے وہ اپنا ہونے کا دعوی کرتے ہیں، بھی  اقلیتوں کے حقوق کی بات کرتا ہے۔ کسی بھی دوسرے ملک کے مقابلے پاکستان ، اقلیتوں کو مارنے کی وبا کا شکار لگتا ہے۔ اگر وہ خود کے اپنے مذہب پر عمل نہیں کر سکتے ہیں تو،  یہ وقت ہے کہ اقوام متحدہ کی انسانی حقوق کونسل ان ممالک کو اقوام متحدہ کے کنونشن پر کئے گئے ان کے اپنے دستخط کا احترام کرنے کی یاد دہانی کرائے۔
یہ نہ صرف مسلم اکثریت والے ان ممالک بلکہ ہمارے مذہب اسلام کی شبیح خراب کر رہاہے ، اور جس کے نتیجے میں دنیا بھر میں کئی غیر مسلموں کے ذہنوں میں اسلام کے تئیں خوف  پیدا کر رہا ہے۔ میں عالمی برادری کے نمائندوں کو ذہن نشین کرانا چاہوں گا کہ ہمارا مذہب اسلام  تمام مذاہب کے پیروکاروں کے حقوق کے تحفظ کا پوری طرح حمایت کرتا ہے۔ درحقیقت، اسلام کی آمد کے 13 سال بعد، قرآن جب سب سے پہلے مسلمانوں کو ہتھیاروں کے ساتھ خو د کی دفاع کی اجازت دے رہا تھا تو ان کو یہودیوں، عیسائیوں، ہندوئوں اور مسلمانوں سبھوں کے  مذہبی آزادی کے تحفظ کی ہدایت کی تھی، نہ کہ صرف مسلمانوں کی مذہبی آزادی کی۔
قرآن نے  22ویں سورۃ اور آیت نمبر  40 فرمایا ہے: "اور اگر اﷲ انسانی طبقات میں سے بعض کو بعض کے ذریعہ (جہاد و انقلابی جد و جہد کی صورت میں) ہٹاتا نہ رہتا تو خانقاہیں اور گرجے اور کلیسے اور مسجدیں (یعنی تمام ادیان کے مذہبی مراکز اور عبادت گاہیں) مسمار اور ویران کر دی جاتیں جن میں کثرت سے اﷲ کے نام کا ذکر کیا جاتا ہے"۔  یہ واضح طور پر مسلمانوں کے مذہبی فریضہ کے طور پر،  ان کے پاس جو بھی زرائع ہیں ان سے وہ مذہبی گروپوں کے حقوق،  گرجا گھروں، کلیسے، خانقاہوں، مندروں اور مسجدوں کی تعمیر اور خدا کی عبادت میں مدد کرنے کو ضروری بناتا ہے۔ مثال کے طور پر، سعودی عرب میں، طالبان کے کنٹرول والےپاکستان اور نا ئجیریا میں بوکو حرام کے قبضے والے علاقوں میں، مذہبی یا فرقہ وارانہ اقلیتوں کے لئے اپنی عبادت کے مقامات کی تعمیر  ناممکن ہے اور اپنے مذہب پر آزادانہ طور پر عمل کی بات نہیں کر سکتے ہیں۔ میرے مطابق، درج بالا قرآنی آیات مسلمانوں پر یہ لا زمی کر دیتی ہیں کہ، اس صورتحال کو تبدیل کرنے کے لئے اپنی ممکنہ صلاحیت اور وسائل میں جدوجہد کریں۔ ہمیں کم سے کم ان علاقوں کے حکام کو  جو مسلمان ہونے کا دعوی کرتے ہیں انہیں قرآن پر اس کے اصل روح کے مطابق عمل کرنے کے لئے قائل کرنے کی کوشش کرنی چاہئے اور دنیا میں پہلے سے ہی موجود اسلام ہراسی (اسلامو فوبیا) میں اضافہ کرنا بند کرنا چاہئے۔

Dreams and Spirituality


Dreams and Spirituality
by Nilofar Ahmed
DREAMS are a fascinating experience of daily life. Psychologists, in trying to understand the symbolism and meaning of dreams, have come up with various theories. During sleep the soul is supposed to leave the body temporarily and roam around in different spheres. Its experiences are seen and felt by the body in the shape of dreams, which sometimes convey information from the unknown. The more elevated the soul, the higher its sphere of spiritual experience. …

Paramount Significance of the Behavioral Paradigms of the Quran


Paramount Significance of the Behavioral Paradigms of the Quran
by Muhammad Yunus, New Age Islam
Muhammad Yunus is an Islamic Scholar and a Writer
The Qur’an sets out behavioral paradigms, which can help people to win friends, earn the love and affection of spouses, respect of colleagues, and avoid pinpricks and petty worries in day to day professional and conjugal lives. Not a part of populist Islamic discourses, they are tabled below with self explanatory captions for a quick reader-friendly reminder and deeper reflection. “The retribution for an injury is a similar injury - yet whoever forgives and reconciles has his reward with God for He does not like the wrongdoers”

The history of modernity reads approximately like this. Around the time of Buddha, 500 years before Christ, the world was an ignorant place. It had little science. Reason was subordinate to power. As easterners, as Hindus and Muslims, should we accept this sequence as pure? Are we mere recipients of modern culture or participants? Did we have any contribution to make? …

Ideological Bankruptcy of Jamat-e-Islami


Ideological Bankruptcy of Jamat-e-Islami
by Nadeem F. Paracha
Nadeem F. Paracha is a journalist, cultural critic and satirist
Every time I see an anti-US banner put up by the Jamat Islami, it instantly reminds me of a rather ironic episode many years ago. It is this attitude and history of the Jamat which makes it a case of ideological bankruptcy that is so well encapsulated by their ‘Go America Go’ banners and rhetoric now. “I am almost sure that the Jamat guy who made this banner, already has his passport sent to the US embassy for a visa.”

Muhammad Yunus is an Islamic Scholar and a Writer
Languishing in stagnancy of Symbolism and Ritualism, deluded by a quixotic dream of world domination through  militant jihad  – the Muslims have turned misfit among the civilizations of the world and urgently need a major paradigm shift in their religious thoughts to the dynamic spirit of the Greater Jihad. “Jihade zindagi me surate faulad paida kar”: “Cultivate the strength of steel in the jihad (struggle) of life.” Thus, on the personal level, jihad is an ongoing struggle to face the hardships and challenges of life with patience and determination, or a sustained endeavor to accomplish a lawful goal.  …

Many Pakistanis living and working in Kabul say they feel a palpable hostility towards them once their nationality becomes known. Some occasionally pretend to be Indians, which brings more acceptability. If this anecdotal evidence indicates an actual truth, then it is worrisome. In principle Afghans should like Pakistanis better;… If Pakistan has to compete with India on various internationally funded reconstruction projects, then so be it. That is a choice for Afghans to make, not us. …

Also, it is Allah’s will to create diversity among His creation. ALLAH SAYS IN Qur’an, “And if Allah had pleased He would have made you a single people, but that He might try you in what He gave you. So vie one with another in virtuous deeds.” (5:48) Thus diversity is Allah’s will and it is trial for us if we can live in peace and harmony with each other despite this diversity. Also, Allah wants us not to assert our superiority but to vie one with another in good deeds. …

یہ حیرت انگیز ہے کہ کس طرح تہذیبی تصادم کے دونوں اطراف کےلوگوں کی نفرت اور انتقام کی اس طرح کی کہانیاں ایک دوسرے کے عین یکسانیت کو سامنے لا رہی ہیں۔ رابرٹ بیلس اور محمد میراہ کے تمام نسلی اور مذہبی اختلافات کے باوجود انہیں ایک دوسرے کے ساتھ تبدیل کر سکتے ہیں، اورکسی سوال کے پوچھے جانے کی ضرورت نہیں ہے۔ ان کی سوچ ایک تھی، ان کی طرز زندگی یکساں تھی، ان دونوں نے ایک جیسا عمل کیا اوروہ بھی ایک جیسی ہی وجوہات کے لئے

कुरानी शरीयत (कानून) तलाक, तीन तलाक, अस्थायी शादी, हलाला को हराम क़रार देती है


"और जब तुम औरतों को तलाक दो और अपनी इद्दत (पूरी होने) को आ पहुँचें तो जब वे शरई दस्तूर के मुताबिक आपस में रज़ामंद हो जाएं तो उन्हें अपने (पुराने या नए) शौहरों से निकाह करने से मत रोको, उस शख्स को इस अमर की नसीहत की जाती है जो तुम में से अल्लाह पर यौमे क़यामत पर ईमान रखता हो,  ये तुम्हारे लिए बहुत सुथरी और नेहायत पाकीज़ा बात है,  और अल्लाह जानता है और तुम (बहुत सी बातों को) नहीं जानते" 

قرآنی شریعت (قوانین) طلاق، طلاق ثلاثہ، عارضی شاد اور حلالہ کو حرام قرار دیتی ہے


کسی کو بھی حیرانی ہو سکتی ہے کہ کیوں ہندوستان میں علماء ایسا فتویٰ یا احکامات پر عمل کے لئے اصرار کرتے ہیں جو آج قرآن سے متصادم، بیزار زن۔ شدید طور پر بین الاقوامی انسانی حقوق کی خلاف ورزی اور اس قدر  خلاف فطرت (محرمات سے مباشرت کو معاف کرتی اور ہندوستانی حکومت کو  ایک ایسا قانون پاس کرنے کے لئے مجبور کرتی ہیں کہ جو شادی کے 30 سال سے بھی زیادہ کے بعد ایک عورت کے نان نفقہ کو طے کرے) ہے کہ کسی کے لئے کھل کر تبصرہ کرنا مشکل ہے اس خوف سے کہ یہ کہیں بے مزہ نہ ہو۔

सपने और आध्यात्मिकता


सपने और आध्यात्मिकता
by नीलोफर अहमद (अनुवाद- न्यु एज इस्लाम)
कोई भी मौत के वक्त सोने के लिए जाता है,  इस आम कल्पना के विपरीत, हज़रत मुहम्मद सल्लल्लाहू अलैहि वसल्लम ने फ़रमाया है कि इंसान इस दुनिया में सोए हैं और मौत के वक्त वो जाग जाएगें (इब्ने अल-अरबी)। इस दुनिया का जीवन एक ख्वाब की तरह हो सकता है। आने वाली ज़िंदगी वास्तविकता होगी जो हम पर ज़ाहिर नहीं है और आखिरत में जागने पर ज़ाहिर हो जायेगी।

अंतर धार्मिक बातचीत की ज़रूरत


अंतर धार्मिक बातचीत की ज़रूरत
by असग़र अली इंजीनियर (अनुवाद- न्यु एज इस्लाम)
इसके अलावा, अगर कहीं विवधता तो वहां सम्भव है कि एक दूसरे से इख्तेलाफ़ात और गलतफहमियाँ होंगी जो अक्सर विवादों और अशांति पैदा कर सकती हैं। ये दोनों पर लागू होता है: अंतः विश्वास और अंतर धार्मिक वर्ग। अंतर धार्मिक विवाद भी जैसे शिया और सुन्नी या बोहरा या गैर-बोहरा मुसलमानों के बीच या बरेलवियों और देवबंदिोंयों के बीच आम है। इन गलत फहमियों को दूर करने के लिए एक मात्र रास्ता एक दूसरे के साथ बातचीत करना है।

بین مذہبی مکالمے کی ضرورت


بین مذہبی مکالمے کی ضرورت

اس کے علاوہ، یہ اپنی مخلوق کے درمیان تنوع پیدا کرنے کی اللہ کی مرضی ہے۔ اللہ قرآن میں فرماتا ہے، " اور اگر خدا چاہتا تو سب کو ایک ہی شریعت پر کر دیتا مگر جو حکم اس نے تم کو دیئے ہیں ان میں وہ تمہاری آزمائش کرنا چاہتا ہے سو نیک کاموں میں جلدی کرو"(5:48)۔ اس طرح تنوع اللہ کی مرضی ہے اور یہ ہمارے لئے امتحان ہے کہ ہم اس تنوع کے باوجود ایک دوسرے کے ساتھ امن اور ہم آہنگی کے ساتھ رہ سکتے ہیں۔ اس کے علاوہ، اللہ چاہتا ہے کہ ہم دوسروں سے برتری کا دعوٰی نہ کریں بلکہ نیک اعمال میں ایک دوسرے کے ساتھ مقابلہ کریں

इस्लाम पूरी तरह धार्मिक अल्पसंख्यकों के मानवाधिकारों की रक्षा करता हैः सुल्तान शाहीन का संयुक्त राष्ट्र मानवाधिकार परिषद में भाषण


सऊदी अरब समेत कई अरब देशों में,  उदाहरण के लिए कोई भी धार्मिक अल्पसंख्यक अपने पूजा-स्थल का निर्माण नहीं कर सकते हैं। और ऐसा तब है जब न सिर्फ अंतरराष्ट्रीय कन्वेंशन्ज़ जिस पर उन्होंने दस्तखत किए हैं,  बल्कि इस्लाम धर्म,  जिसे वो अपना होने का दावा करते हैं,  वो भी अल्पसंख्यकों के अधिकारों की बात करता है। किसी भी अन्य देश के मुकाबले पाकिस्तान अल्पसंख्यकों को मारने की महामारी का शिकार लगता है। अगर वो खुद अपने धर्म का पालन नहीं कर सकते हैं,  तो ये वक्त है कि संयुक्त राष्ट्र मानवाधिकार परिषद इन देशों को संयुक्त राष्ट्र अधिवेशन पर किए गए उनके हस्ताक्षर का सम्मान करने की याद दिलाये

اسلام مکمل طور پر مذہبی اقلیتوں کے انسانی حقوق کی حفاظت کرتا ہے: سلطان شاہین کا اقوام متحدہ انسانی حقوق کونسل میں تقریر



سعودی عرب سمیت کئی عرب ممالک میں، مثال کے طور پر ,کوئی  بھی مذہبی اقلیت اپنی عبادت گاہوں کی  تعمیر نہیں کر سکتی ہے۔ اور ایسا تب ہے جب نہ صرف بین الاقوامی کنونشنز جس پر انہوں نے دستخط کئے ہیں، بلکہ مذہب اسلام، جسے وہ اپنا ہونے کا دعوی کرتے ہیں، بھی  اقلیتوں کے حقوق کی بات کرتا ہے۔ کسی بھی دوسرے ملک کے مقابلے پاکستان ، اقلیتوں کو مارنے کی وبا کا شکار لگتا ہے۔ اگر وہ خود کے اپنے مذہب پر عمل نہیں کر سکتے ہیں تو،  یہ وقت ہے کہ اقوام متحدہ کی انسانی حقوق کونسل ان ممالک کو اقوام متحدہ کے کنونشن پر کئے گئے ان کے اپنے دستخط کا احترام کرنے کی یاد دہانی کرائے۔
یہ نہ صرف مسلم اکثریت والے ان ممالک بلکہ ہمارے مذہب اسلام کی شبیح خراب کر رہاہے ، اور جس کے نتیجے میں دنیا بھر میں کئی غیر مسلموں کے ذہنوں میں اسلام کے تئیں خوف  پیدا کر رہا ہے۔ میں عالمی برادری کے نمائندوں کو ذہن نشین کرانا چاہوں گا کہ ہمارا مذہب اسلام  تمام مذاہب کے پیروکاروں کے حقوق کے تحفظ کا پوری طرح حمایت کرتا ہے۔ درحقیقت، اسلام کی آمد کے 13 سال بعد، قرآن جب سب سے پہلے مسلمانوں کو ہتھیاروں کے ساتھ خو د کی دفاع کی اجازت دے رہا تھا تو ان کو یہودیوں، عیسائیوں، ہندوئوں اور مسلمانوں سبھوں کے  مذہبی آزادی کے تحفظ کی ہدایت کی تھی، نہ کہ صرف مسلمانوں کی مذہبی آزادی کی۔
قرآن نے  22ویں سورۃ اور آیت نمبر  40 فرمایا ہے: "اور اگر اﷲ انسانی طبقات میں سے بعض کو بعض کے ذریعہ (جہاد و انقلابی جد و جہد کی صورت میں) ہٹاتا نہ رہتا تو خانقاہیں اور گرجے اور کلیسے اور مسجدیں (یعنی تمام ادیان کے مذہبی مراکز اور عبادت گاہیں) مسمار اور ویران کر دی جاتیں جن میں کثرت سے اﷲ کے نام کا ذکر کیا جاتا ہے"۔  یہ واضح طور پر مسلمانوں کے مذہبی فریضہ کے طور پر،  ان کے پاس جو بھی زرائع ہیں ان سے وہ مذہبی گروپوں کے حقوق،  گرجا گھروں، کلیسے، خانقاہوں، مندروں اور مسجدوں کی تعمیر اور خدا کی عبادت میں مدد کرنے کو ضروری بناتا ہے۔ مثال کے طور پر، سعودی عرب میں، طالبان کے کنٹرول والےپاکستان اور نا ئجیریا میں بوکو حرام کے قبضے والے علاقوں میں، مذہبی یا فرقہ وارانہ اقلیتوں کے لئے اپنی عبادت کے مقامات کی تعمیر  ناممکن ہے اور اپنے مذہب پر آزادانہ طور پر عمل کی بات نہیں کر سکتے ہیں۔ میرے مطابق، درج بالا قرآنی آیات مسلمانوں پر یہ لا زمی کر دیتی ہیں کہ، اس صورتحال کو تبدیل کرنے کے لئے اپنی ممکنہ صلاحیت اور وسائل میں جدوجہد کریں۔ ہمیں کم سے کم ان علاقوں کے حکام کو  جو مسلمان ہونے کا دعوی کرتے ہیں انہیں قرآن پر اس کے اصل روح کے مطابق عمل کرنے کے لئے قائل کرنے کی کوشش کرنی چاہئے اور دنیا میں پہلے سے ہی موجود اسلام ہراسی (اسلامو فوبیا) میں اضافہ کرنا بند کرنا چاہئے۔

خواب اور روحانیت


خواب اور روحانیت
by نیلوفر احمد (ترجمہ نیو ایج اسلام
جب ایک شخص قرآن اور حدیث پر نظر ڈالتا ہے تو پتہ چلتا ہے کہ خواب، مسلم عقیدے کا ایک سنجیدہ حصہ ہیں۔ ایسا گمان کیا جاتا ہے کہ نیند کے دوران روح جسم کو عارضی طور پر چھوڑ دیتی ہے اور مختلف دائروں میں گھومتی رہتی ہے۔ اس کے تجربات خواب کی شکل میں جسم دیکھتا اور محسوس کرتا ہے اور جو کبھی کبھی نامعلوم سے اطلاعات ترسیل کرتے ہیں۔ جس قدر ہ بلند روح ہو گی اتنا ہی اس کے روحانی تجربے کا دائرہ اعلی ہوگا۔
