DANCING WITH GUNS/SWORDS AND ACCEPTING OPPRESSION

Dancing With Guns & Swords
‘It shows that we are brave’: Dancer



Why Not Use That Bravery To
Liberate Palestine, Iraq,
To Fight Tumult?
Allah Commands Us To Fight Oppression

(M. Javed Naseem)


وَمَا لَكُمْ لاَ تُقَاتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ
مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَآءِ وَٱلْوِلْدَانِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ
رَبَّنَآ أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا
وَٱجْعَلْ لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنْكَ وَلِيّاً وَٱجْعَلْ لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنْكَ نَصِيراً
“And why should you not fight in the cause of
Allah and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated
(and oppressed)?- men, women, and children,
whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this
town, whose people are oppressors; and raise
for us from you the one who will protect; and
raise for us from you the one who will help!"
(al-Quran 4:75)

Allah has asked us why shouldn’t we fight in HIS cause and help the oppressed? We don’t give any direct answer to that, but we keep ourselves busy with worldly ‘fun’ and pleasure. And that constitutes a very sad answer. Here’s an example from the history of a true Muslim who missed a chance to fight in the cause of Allah but when he got the second chance, he sacrificed his life with pride:

Narrated Anas:
“My uncle Anas bin An-Nadr was absent from the Battle of Badr. He said, "O Allah's Apostle! I was absent from the first battle you fought against the pagans. (By Allah) if Allah gives me a chance to fight the pagans, no doubt, Allah will see how (bravely) I will fight." On the day of Uhud when the Muslims turned their backs and fled, he said, "O Allah! I apologize to You for what these (i.e. his companions) have done, and I denounce what these (i.e. the pagans) have done." Then he advanced and Sad bin Muadh met him. He said "O Sad bin Muadh! By the Lord of An-Nadr, Paradise! I am smelling its aroma coming from before (the mountain of) Uhud," Later on Sad said, "O Allah's Apostle! I cannot achieve or do what he (i.e. Anas bin An-Nadr) did. We found more than eighty wounds by swords and arrows on his body. We found him dead and his body was mutilated so badly that none except his sister could recognize him by his fingers." We used to think that the following Verse was revealed concerning him and other men of his sort:”

مِّنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُواْ مَا عَاهَدُواْ ٱللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ
فَمِنْهُمْ مَّن قَضَىٰ نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّن يَنتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُواْ تَبْدِيلاً
"Among the believers are men who have
been true to their covenant with Allah..."
(al-Quran 33.23)
(Bukhari, Vol. 4, Book 52, No. 61)

Yes, that’s the level of commitment and loyalty to Allah! More than 80 wounds on the body and he sacrificed his life in Allah’s way! Now, that’s brave. Dancing with guns and swords alone can never achieve that!

Now, watch the following video and see how today’s Muslims are dancing with guns and swords to impress women! They cannot use these guns/swords to help their brethren who are being massacred in Palestine, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, etc., every day.

(Al-Mazyood Band: 3ayesh Gawwy)

Did you watch the above-mentioned video? Nice. In the UAE and other Arab countries they love to dance with guns, swords and sticks. The Khaleeji TV channels always play such videos with pride. In this video, when a lady asked the dancers:

“What are you doing? Why are you dancing with guns”?
The man in-charge of the dancing group (or music band) replies: “This is our tradition to show that we are brave.”

Excuse me! Brave? I would consider you brave when you use the same guns and swords to liberate your Palestinian brethren from the Zionists’ oppression. The Muslims are being massacred in Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kashmir and other countries and you are showing the women by dancing with guns/swords that you are brave? What good is this bravery? Do you know really how to use these guns? How, when and where? You can’t even defend yourselves. You have given America/Britain/Europe the military bases on your territory to protect you and your fragile governments. And, in addition to that, you are paying them with petro-dollars as bonus. That’s brave!

When I first visited Dubai in 1970, one of the Bedouin proudly told me (when I questioned his loyalty to Islam for disrespecting Ramadan): “We are Arabic; the Quran is Arabic, the Prophet (Muhammad, s.a.w.) is Arabic. Those prohibitions of discipline are for you (non-Arab foreigners).”

But Allah did not mention that in the ‘Arabic Quran’ that Jannah (Paradise) was for the Arabs only! And the ‘Arab Prophet’ (Muhammad, s.a.w.) declared in front of more than 100,000 people during his last Hajj sermon that no Arab had any preference over a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab had any preference over an Arab. The same goes for the Black and White people. The only preference was based on ‘piety’ or ‘righteousness’ (in Arabic: Taqwa). Do you know what Taqwa is? Here’s what Allah says in the Quran:

لَّيْسَ ٱلْبِرَّ أَن تُوَلُّواْ وُجُوهَكُمْ قِبَلَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ
ٱلْبِرَّ مَنْ آمَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلآخِرِ وَٱلْمَلاۤئِكَةِ وَٱلْكِتَابِ وَٱلنَّبِيِّينَ
وَآتَى ٱلْمَالَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِ ذَوِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَٱلْيَتَامَىٰ وَٱلْمَسَاكِينَ
وَٱبْنَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَٱلسَّآئِلِينَ وَفِى ٱلرِّقَابِ وَأَقَامَ ٱلصَّلاةَ وَآتَى ٱلزَّكَاةَ
وَٱلْمُوفُونَ بِعَهْدِهِمْ إِذَا عَاهَدُواْ وَٱلصَّابِرِينَ فِى ٱلْبَأْسَآءِ وٱلضَّرَّاءِ
وَحِينَ ٱلْبَأْسِ أُولَـٰئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَدَقُوآ وَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ
“It is not righteousness that you turn your faces
towards East or West; but the righteousness is
to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels,
and the Books, and the Messengers; to spend of your
substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for
orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those
who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast
in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfill the
contracts which you have made; and to be firm and
patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and
throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people
of truth, the Allah-fearing (the righteous).”
(al-Quran 2:177)

Allah declared in the Quran that all mankind (of believers) is one ‘nation’ or ‘Ummah’. Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) said that the whole Ummah is like one body; if one part of the body is hurt or aching, the whole body should feel the pain. How many of us feel the pain for the innocent Muslims (children, women, elderly and others) being massacred in Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Libya and other countries?

Narrated Abu Musa:
“The Prophet said, "A believer to another believer is like a building whose different parts enforce each other." The Prophet then clasped his hands with the fingers interlaced (while saying that).”
(Bukhari, Vol. 3, Book 43, No. 626)

We should prove to be brave by standing up for the down-trodden, by helping the victims of oppression, aggression and slaughter-campaign. But we don’t, because we are busy dancing with guns and swords to impress women and claim that we are brave. Are we, really?
Do we know and understand what Allah says?

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِهِ صَفّاً كَأَنَّهُم بُنْيَانٌ مَّرْصُوصٌ
“Truly Allah loves those who fight in His cause in
battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure.”
(al-Quran 61:4)


We claim to have knowledge of the Arabic language. Do we understand the messages of the Quran? Do we understand the meaning of ‘Jihad’, the purpose of it, the time for it, and our obligation to it? That’s the right and proper platform to prove ourselves brave. Allah declares in the Holy Quran:

كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْقِتَالُ وَهُوَ كُرْهٌ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَىٰ أَن تَكْرَهُواْ
شَيْئاً وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَىٰ أَن تُحِبُّواْ شَيْئاً وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْ
وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتُمْ لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ
“Fighting is prescribed for you, and you dislike it.
But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is
good for you, and that you love a thing which is
bad for you. But Allah knows, and you know not.”
(al-Quran 2:216)

وَقَاتِلُواْ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَٱعْلَمُوۤاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
“Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know
that Allah hears and knows all things.”
(al-Quran 2:244)

Now, what part of the above Quranic verses do we not understand? It’s a simple, clear and straight-forward command without any complication.

Narrated Ibn Abbas:
“Allah's Apostle said, "There is no Hijra (i.e. migration) (from Mecca to Medina) after the Conquest (of Mecca), but Jihad and good intention remain; and if you are called (by the Muslim ruler) for fighting, go forth immediately.”
(Bukhari, Vol. 4, Book 52, No. 42)

Why don’t we try to prove to Allah that we are brave and can fight in HIS way? No, we don’t do that because we are busy dancing with guns/swords to impress women and claim that we are brave. Are we?

How easily we forget (or knowingly ignore) what Allah has commanded us to do in such situations! Here’s a reminder:

ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ
يُقَاتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱلطَّاغُوتِ فَقَاتِلُوۤاْ أَوْلِيَاءَ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ
إِنَّ كَيْدَ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ كَانَ ضَعِيفاً
“Those who believe, fight in the cause of Allah;
and those who reject Faith, Fight in the cause
of Evil. So fight against the friends of Satan!
Feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan.
(al-Quran 4:76)

فَقَاتِلْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لاَ تُكَلَّفُ إِلاَّ نَفْسَكَ
وَحَرِّضِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَكُفَّ بَأْسَ
ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَٱللَّهُ أَشَدُّ بَأْساً وَأَشَدُّ تَنكِيلاً
“Then fight in Allah's cause. You are held
responsible only for yourself, and rouse the
believers. It may be that Allah will restrain
the fury of the unbelievers; for Allah is
the strongest in might and in punishment.”
(al-Quran 4:84)

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
“The Prophet said, ‘A single endeavor (of fighting) in Allah's cause in the forenoon or in the afternoon is better than the world and whatever is in it’."
(Bukhari, Vol. 4, Book 52, No. 50)

When the Devil’s army blockade the supplies of food, water, medicines, clothing and reconstruction material (not to speak of arms for self-defense), we watch as silent spectators. We forget all about humanity, civil or human rights; we don’t see mankind suffering – thirsty and hungry, humans slaughtered, kids butchered, women raped, elderly gunned down. We don’t hear nobody’s cries, screams, weeping on losing one limb or half of his/her body, losing their children or the parents, family member gunned down in front of their eyes, when they are left to feel helpless, miserable and powerless.

That’s when normal human beings should come to their help and rescue. That’s when somebody should tell them: Hold on! We are coming to your aid! We’ll stop the cruel hand of aggression; we’ll stand up for you and fight for justice and humanity along side you. You are not alone in this, we are with you!

But nobody said that; despite the fact that Allah had commanded them in the Quran to stand up and fight the aggression:

وَقَاتِلُواْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ
وَلاَ تَعْتَدُوۤاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُعْتَدِينَ
“Fight in the way of Allah against those who
fight against you, but begin not hostilities.
Lo! Allah loves not the aggressors.”
(al-Quran 2:190)

وَٱقْتُلُوهُمْ حَيْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوهُم وَأَخْرِجُوهُمْ مِّنْ حَيْثُ أَخْرَجُوكُمْ
وَٱلْفِتْنَةُ أَشَدُّ مِنَ ٱلْقَتْلِ وَلاَ تُقَاتِلُوهُمْ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ
حَتَّىٰ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِيهِ فَإِن قَاتَلُوكُمْ فَٱقْتُلُوهُمْ كَذٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ ٱلْكَافِرِينَ
“And slay them wherever you find them, and
drive them out of the places whence they drove
you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter.
And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place
of Worship until they first attack you there, but
if they attack you (there) then slay them.
Such is the reward of disbelievers.”
(al-Quran 2:191)

فَإِنِ ٱنتَهَوْاْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
وَقَاتِلُوهُمْ حَتَّىٰ لاَ تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ وَيَكُونَ ٱلدِّينُ
للَّهِ فَإِنِ ٱنْتَهَواْ فَلاَ عُدْوَانَ إِلاَّ عَلَى ٱلظَّالِمِينَ
“But if they desist, then lo! Allah is Forgiving,
Merciful. And fight them until persecution is
no more, and religion is for Allah. But if they
desist, then let there be no hostility,
except against wrong-doers.”
(al-Quran 2:192-193)

These commands are very clear and don’t need any fancy (or tricky) interpretation from any scholar.


 Life goes on for us. But for the Muslim victims of Palestine, Syria, Iraq and Kashmir, it all seems like a long, never-ending nightmare. What would you do when your own house becomes a graveyard for you and your family? There is no tomorrow, no future, no life. No support – material or moral. All we are doing is, take some pictures and show them around as ‘memories’. It’s just to show off and tell our grandchildren that we were there – here’s the picture as a proof. Yes, we were there but we did not do anything. We didn’t try to stop the massacre; we did not try to resist the injustice and we did not show any proof of physical condemnation of the atrocities. We only danced with guns/swords to show some women that we were brave!

Narrated Abu Said al-Khudri:
“Somebody asked, ‘O Allah's Apostle! Who is the best among the people?"
Allah's Apostle replied "A believer who strives his utmost in Allah's cause with his life and property."
They asked, "Who is next?"
He replied, "A believer who stays in one of the mountain paths worshipping Allah and leaving the people secure from his mischief."
(Bukhari, Vol. 4, Book 52, No. 45)


For those who don’t remember to have come across such verses on the subject of  ‘fighting in the cause of Allah’ or ‘Jihad’, I give here below a few verses from the Quran for their information and education:

فَلْيُقَاتِلْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَشْرُونَ ٱلْحَيَاةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
بِٱلآخِرَةِ وَمَن يُقَاتِلْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَيُقْتَلْ أَو يَغْلِبْ
فَسَوْفَ نُؤْتِيهِ أَجْراً عَظِيماً                 
“Let those fight in the cause of Allah who sell
the life of this world for the Hereafter. To him
who fights in the cause of Allah, whether he is
slain or gets victory, soon shall We give
him a reward of great (value).”
(al-Quran 4:74)

لاَّ يَسْتَوِى ٱلْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرُ أُوْلِى ٱلضَّرَرِ وَٱلْمُجَاهِدُونَ
فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنْفُسِهِمْ فَضَّلَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُجَاهِدِينَ
بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنْفُسِهِمْ عَلَى ٱلْقَاعِدِينَ دَرَجَةً وَكُـلاًّ وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ
ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ وَفَضَّلَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُجَاهِدِينَ عَلَى ٱلْقَاعِدِينَ أَجْراً عَظِيماً
“Not equal are those believers who sit (at home)
and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight
in the cause of Allah with their goods and their
persons. Allah has granted a grade higher to those
who strive and fight with their goods and persons
than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith)
has Allah promised good. But those who strive
and fight, has He distinguished above those
who sit (at home) by a special reward.”
(al-Quran 4:95)

وَقَاتِلُوهُمْ حَتَّىٰ لاَ تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ وَيَكُونَ الدِّينُ
كُلُّهُ لِلَّهِ فَإِنِ انْتَهَوْاْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ
“And fight them on until there is no more tumult
or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith
in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they
cease, verily Allah does see all that they do.”
(al-Quran 8:39)

وَٱلَّذينَ كَفَرُواْ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضٍ إِلاَّ تَفْعَلُوهُ
تَكُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فِى ٱلأَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌ كَبِيرٌ
“The Unbelievers are protectors, one of another.
Unless you do this, (protect each other), there
would be tumult and oppression on earth,
and great mischief.”
(al-Quran 8:73)

وَٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَهَاجَرُواْ وَجَاهَدُواْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ
وَٱلَّذِينَ آوَواْ وَّنَصَرُوۤاْ أُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ
حَقّاً لَّهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ
“Those who believe, and adopt exile, and fight
for the Faith, in the cause of Allah as well as
those who give (them) asylum and aid, these
are (all) in very truth the Believers; for them is the
forgiveness of sins and a provision most generous.
(al-Quran 8:74)

أَلاَ تُقَاتِلُونَ قَوْماً نَّكَثُوۤاْ أَيْمَانَهُمْ وَهَمُّواْ بِإِخْرَاجِ ٱلرَّسُولِ
وَهُم بَدَءُوكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ أَتَخْشَوْنَهُمْ فَٱللَّهُ أَحَقُّ
أَن تَخْشَوْهُ إِن كُنتُمْ مُّؤُمِنِينَ
“Will you not fight people who violated their
oaths, plotted to expel the Messenger, and took
the aggressive by being the first (to assault) you?
Do you fear them? Nay, it is Allah Whom you
should more justly fear, if you believe!”
(al-Quran 9:13)

قَاتِلُوهُمْ يُعَذِّبْهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ وَيُخْزِهِمْ وَيَنْصُرْكُمْ
عَلَيْهِمْ وَيَشْفِ صُدُورَ قَوْمٍ مُّؤْمِنِينَ
“Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your
hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory)
over them, heal the breasts of Believers.”
(al-Quran 9:14)

يٰأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ قَاتِلُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ يَلُونَكُمْ مِّنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ
وَلِيَجِدُواْ فِيكُمْ غِلْظَةً وَٱعْلَمُوۤاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ
“O you who believe! Fight the unbelievers who gird
you about, and let them find firmness in you; and
know that Allah is with those who fear Him.
(al-Quran 9:123)

وَٱلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواْ فِى ٱللَّهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُواْ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمْ
فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَلَأَجْرُ ٱلآخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ لَوْ كَانُواْ يَعْلَمُونَ
“To those who leave their homes in the cause of Allah,
after suffering oppression, We will assuredly give a
goodly home in this world; but truly the reward of the
Hereafter will be greater, if they only realized (this)!”
(al-Quran 16:41)

أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقَاتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُواْ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِيرٌ
ٱلَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُواْ مِن دِيَارِهِم بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ إِلاَّ أَن يَقُولُواْ رَبُّنَا ٱللَّهُ
وَلَوْلاَ دَفْعُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلنَّاسَ بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لَّهُدِّمَتْ صَوَامِعُ وَبِيَعٌ
وَصَلَوَاتٌ وَمَسَاجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا ٱسمُ ٱللَّهِ كَثِيراً وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ ٱللَّهُ
مَن يَنصُرُهُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ
“To those against whom war is made, permission
is given (to fight), because they are wronged; and
verily, Allah is most powerful for their aid.  
(They are) those who have been expelled from their
homes in defiance of right, (for no cause) except that
they say, "Our Lord is Allah". Did not Allah check
one set of people by means of another, there would
surely have been pulled down monasteries, churches,
synagogues, and mosques, in which the name of Allah
is commemorated in abundant measure. Allah will
certainly aid those who aid his (cause); for verily,
Allah is full of Strength, Exalted in Might
(Able to enforce His Will).”
(al-Quran 22:39-40)

فَلاَ تُطِعِ ٱلْكَافِرِينَ وَجَاهِدْهُمْ بِهِ جِهَاداً كَبيراً
“So obey not the disbelievers, but strive against
them herewith with a great endeavor.”
(al-Quran 25:52)

فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَضَرْبَ ٱلرِّقَابِ حَتَّىٰ إِذَآ أَثْخَنتُمُوهُمْ
فَشُدُّواْ ٱلْوَثَاقَ فَإِمَّا مَنًّا بَعْدُ وَإِمَّا فِدَآءً حَتَّىٰ تَضَعَ ٱلْحَرْبُ
أَوْزَارَهَا ذٰلِكَ وَلَوْ يَشَآءُ اللَّهُ لاَنْتَصَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَلَـٰكِن لِّيَبْلُوَ
بَعْضَكُمْ بِبَعْضٍ وَٱلَّذِينَ قُتِلُواْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَلَن يُضِلَّ أَعْمَالَهُمْ
“Therefore, when you meet the Unbelievers (in fight),
smite at their necks; at length, when you have thoroughly
subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them). Thereafter
(is the time for) either generosity or ransom, until the
war lays down its burdens. Thus (are you commanded);
but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have
exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets
you fight) in order to test you, some with others.
But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,
He will never let their deeds be lost.
(al-Quran 47:4)

إِنَّمَا يَنْهَاكُمُ ٱللَّهُ عَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ وَأَخْرَجُوكُم
مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ وَظَاهَرُواْ عَلَىٰ إِخْرَاجِكُمْ أَن تَوَلَّوْهُمْ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُمْ
فَأُوْلَـٰئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّالِمُونَ
“Allah only forbids you, with regard to those who
fight you for (your) Faith, and drive you out of your
homes, and support (others) in driving you out, from
turning to them (for friendship and protection). It is such
as turn to them (in these circumstances), that do wrong.”
(al-Quran 60:9)

I FEEL HURT. Liberate Palestine!

I FEEL HURT.
Can These People
Liberate Palestine ?

(M. Javed Naseem)

(In Jalasat, men dance when a woman sings)
World Conscience Is Dead,
And So Is Arab Conscience!
 Is There Any Hope?



Woman is a magic word. And when she puts on some sexy dress and starts singing or dancing, she can turn any man into a ‘damned fool’. The video-links below are the proofs (popular Arab singers Myriam Faras and Douniya Batmah):


(Singer Myriam Faras)
These are from Wanasah/MBC TV channel, one of the hundreds of Arab TV channels that telecast only music/dance (‘Kanjarkhana’) videos 24/7 for the Arab world. All of these channels are owned by the wealthy Arabs (Saudis & Emiratis) who operate from off-shore or from the Emirates. All these ‘Kanjarkhana’ channels were established after the Arab-Israel war of 1969, in England, Europe, Egypt or any other off-shore country, but a few years later they moved to the Emirates, Egypt, Lebanon and other Middle Eastern countries. The biggest of them is the MBC (more than 30 channels) that was established in London and now relocated to Dubai.

(Arab heart-throb, singer Haifa Wehbey)











Wanasah is owned by a millionaire Saudi singer, Raashed al-Majid, who is settled in Bahrain but his channel is run by the MBC from Dubai. This way, Saudi Arabia can claim that there’s no such thing on Saudi territory.
(Raashid al-Majid)
When you look at their productions and programs, you don’t see any remarkable source of income (advertisements or commercial productions) that can finance these channels. A normal regular TV channel, if run on a very tight economical budget, requires at least $100,000 per month. In Pakistan, it requires Rs.One-crore or more per month. Who can afford that and how?
A few years ago, when Pervez Musharaf, surrendered to the US-European pressure and allowed private TV channels & radio stations and more newspapers to function in Pakistan (in the name of democratic freedom of press), they popped up like mushrooms or like ‘Monsoon frogs’ (‘Barsati maindak’) in the country and started singing the tunes of their foreign masters. But with the exception of Geo and ARY, almost all of these channels/journals were having financial problems. They did not pay their employees for months (this continues even today).


In 2012, Obama administration announced $50 million assistance/aid for the “media development” in Pakistan. That was ‘free’ money and it was given to some selected channels/newspapers to do the job. Every Pakistani knows well which of the channels got foreign money to do the ‘dirty’ job (because the job shows).

(Singer Nawal el-Zoghbi, Lebanon)
(Singer/actress Rania el-Hussein Ruby, Egypt)



















In Pakistan, there’s a lot more awareness and freedom than any other Muslim country in the world. In Arab countries, whatever comes from ‘above’ is good and cannot be criticized, challenged or objected to. Therefore, there is no resistance or opposition. And because of that, there’s no hope either. They wait for Allah to fix their problems. They ignore the fact mentioned in the Quran that Allah helps those who first try to help themselves.

For the last few years, Muslims are being massacred in many countries of the world and the international organizations including the world powers, are watching silently. America has recently ordered aerial attacks on ISIS to help the Kurds in Iraqi-Turkish region; and to stabilize the Maliki government in Iraq, but they never did such a thing for the Palestinians. Israel keeps killing the innocent children, women and the elderly without any reservation. The world has become a silent spectator in their case. We don’t see any reaction from any quarters. The world conscience is dead. And so is the Arab conscience!
(Zahia Dehar, Algeria)
Now, watch these video clips and ask yourselves: Can these Muslims liberate Palestine?
On a second thought: Are these people really Muslims? Not all Arabs are Muslims though.
People kiss their hands when they come to India, Pakistan or some African countries. They have ‘petrol dollars’ but do they have anything else? Do they have any substance or they are just shallow? No, they are not shallow. They are full – full of  S – H – I – T.
That is why they stink!
(A woman sings and the men dance in Jalasat)
Moral of the story: No morals. This is a story of ‘immorality’.

PAKISTAN'S INDEPENDENCE DAY

Independence Day of Pakistan
Created In The Name Of Islam,
Pakistan Is Far From Islam

(M. Javed Naseem)


(This is a repeat publication from 2013, with slight alterations)

'Munafiq' and 'Ghaddar' Pakistanis 
hurt Pakistan more than their
foreign enemies or the Zionists!

بَشِّرِ ٱلْمُنَافِقِينَ بِأَنَّ لَهُمْ عَذَاباً أَلِيماً  
“To the Hypocrites give the glad tidings that
there is for them (but) a grievous penalty.”
(al-Quran 4:138)

They sell their conscience, their motherland, their loyalty and their Islam for Dollars; and work for those foreign Zionist powers that don’t want to see a stable and strong Pakistan. In their minds, they are securing the future of their families/children in the Western world. But they forget that it’s the ‘Hereafter’ that matters, not this world! This world is a temporary ‘trial’, a test and a harvesting field for you, me and everyone else!

كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ وَإِنَّمَا تُوَفَّوْنَ أُجُورَكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَامَةِ
فَمَنْ زُحْزِحَ عَنِ ٱلنَّارِ وَأُدْخِلَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَازَ
وَما ٱلْحَيَاةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ مَتَاعُ ٱلْغُرُورِ
“Every soul will taste of death. And you will be paid on
the Day of Resurrection only that which you have fairly
earned. Whoso is removed from the Fire and is made
to enter Paradise, he indeed is triumphant.
The life of this world is but comfort of illusion.”
(al-Quran 3:185)

You can’t run away from the trials and tests. There is no short-cut and no escape either. You have to go through hardships, difficulties and hunger. Sometime, you even have to take a blood-bath to prove your mettle. (Remember Palestine, IraqAfghanistanSomaliaSudanIndonesiaTunisiaEast PakistanLibyaBurmaSyria and Egypt?). It’s not easy! If you choose an easy way out, that will turn out to be a dead-end street eventually. So, stop worrying about your ‘future’ in this world and work on the ‘Hereafter’ while you still can!

ٱلْمَالُ وَٱلْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ ٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْبَاقِيَاتُ ٱلصَّالِحَاتُ
خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَاباً وَخَيْرٌ أَمَلاً
“Wealth and children are an ornament of the life of this
world. But the good deeds which endure, are better in
your Lord's sight for reward, and better in respect of hope.”
(al-Quran 18:46)

Getting back to the Pakistani hypocrites (‘Munafiqeen’), they belong to a Muslim country but they seek refuge in a non-Muslim country! They claim to believe in Allah and His prophets but they do everything against the commands of Allah and the teachings of the prophets. They love their foreign masters more than they love Allah and His messengers. The are the hypocrites (‘Munafiqeen’) who think that they will never be taken to task. They are dead wrong.

إِنَّ ٱلْمُنَافِقِينَ فِى ٱلدَّرْكِ ٱلأَسْفَلِ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ وَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُمْ نَصِيراً
إِلاَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَابُواْ وَأَصْلَحُواْ وَٱعْتَصَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَأَخْلَصُواْ دِينَهُمْ لِلَّهِ
فَأُوْلَـٰئِكَ مَعَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَسَوْفَ يُؤْتِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَجْراً عَظِيماً
“The Hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire;
And you will find no helper for them;
Except for those who repent, mend (their lives) to hold fast to
Allah, and purify their religion as in Allah's sight. If so, they
will be (numbered) with the believers. And soon will Allah
grant to the believers a reward of immense value.”
(al-Quran 4:145-146)

And there are others who serve their foreign masters willingly or unwillingly (but they still get paid!), and they fear them more than they fear Allah. They justify their helplessness (Majboori) by saying that they are “weak” Muslims; and they are forced to cooperate with the oppressors. Huh!

ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّخِذُونَ ٱلْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
أَيَبْتَغُونَ عِندَهُمُ ٱلْعِزَّةَ فَإِنَّ ٱلعِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعاً
“Yea, to those who take for friends unbelievers rather
than believers, is it honor they seek among them?
Nay, all honor is with Allah.”
(al-Quran 4:139)

Is it the ‘faith’ that makes them weak or is it the material wealth of this world? A faith that makes you weak, is not faith. It’s just a ‘shaky notion’. Faith makes you strong – so strong that you take the challenge to fight the whole world all alone! You want to smash the mountains all alone! You want to fly, walk on the water and pass through the fire all alone! But are you all alone? No, Allah is with you! HE is always with you because you have faith in HIM, you trust HIM and HE protects you. That’s Faith! With faith, you die only once, otherwise you die every day, before death!

هُنَالِكَ ٱلْوَلاَيَةُ لِلَّهِ ٱلْحَقِّ هُوَ خَيْرٌ ثَوَاباً وَخَيْرٌ عُقْباً
“There, the (only) protection comes from Allah,
the True One. He is the Best to reward,
and the Best to give success.”
(al-Quran 18:44)

Pakistan was created in the name of Allah to practice Islam. Its slogan was: “La ilaha illa-Allah” (“There is no god but Allah”). The Almighty accepted the sacrifice of thousands of believers and blessed the Muslims of the Indian sub-continent by granting them a country of their own –Pakistan – on the sacred night (‘Lailat-ul Qadr’) of 27th of Ramadan. Do you think it was a coincidence? Do you still doubt Allah's Power and Mercy? Do you still deny the connection between Islam (Allah) and Pakistan (Muslims)? Think again and reflect!

*****************************
No political party ever surfaced
as the true, honest, sincere and
corruption-free patriotic team
that could lead Pakistan to new
heights. Success and prosperity
was briefly enjoyed by the nation
during military rules only.

*****************************

The forces of evil (followers of Shaitan) are constantly attacking Pakistan on all fronts – cultural, religious, social, political, economic, educational and technological. They will never stop because it’s the eternal war between ‘good’ and ‘evil’, the ‘truth’ and the ‘falsehood’. Eventually, they’ll be destroyed. That is the law of Allah.

أُولَـٰئِكَ لَمْ يَكُونُواْ مُعْجِزِينَ فِى ٱلأَرْضِ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ
مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَآءَ يُضَاعَفُ لَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ
مَا كَانُواْ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَمَا كَانُواْ يُبْصِرُونَ
أُوْلَـٰئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوۤاْ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ
“They will in no wise frustrate (His design) on earth,
nor have they protectors besides Allah! Their penalty
will be doubled! They lost the power to hear, and
they did not see! They are the ones who have lost
their own souls: and the (fancies) they invented
have left them in the lurch!”
(al-Quran 11:20-21)

In all Muslim countries, those who represent ‘good’ and the ‘truth’ are on the shaky grounds because of their weak ‘Iman’ (faith). They are suffering as heavy damages are being inflicted upon them. They are fallen, but they can still stand up and muster their strength; renew their faith and fight with the spirit of the fighters of ‘Badr’. They can still achieve the triumph like Badr. It’s meant for them.

لَتُبْلَوُنَّ فِيۤ أَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنْفُسِكُمْ وَلَتَسْمَعُنَّ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ
أُوتُواْ ٱلْكِتَابَ مِنْ  قَبْلِكُمْ وَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوۤاْ أَذًى
كَثِيراً وَإِنْ تَصْبِرُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ فَإِنَّ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ عَزْمِ ٱلأُمُورِ
“You shall certainly be tried and tested in your possessions
and in your personal selves; and you shall certainly hear
much that will grieve you, from those who were given the
Scripture before you; and from those who worship many gods.
But if you persevere patiently, and guard against evil,
then that will be a determining factor in all affairs.”
(al-Quran 3:186)

The most powerful forces (of evil) on earth have joined hands to crush Muslim countries one by one. On the other hand, the richest and the most resourceful Muslim countries are being ruled by the corrupt elite who are playing puppets in the hands of evil forces. They don’t have the courage and the spirit to stand up for justice and truth. They look for ‘hired’ protectors. Their example is that of a prostitute who sleeps with different ‘strong’ men believing that one of them (or all?) will protect her. She does not realize that she is being used by all of them.

The only way to honor and dignity is through justice and good governance. Anything that stands in the way, must be dealt with iron hand. Corruption and injustice must be fought to elimination otherwise they will consume the whole nation. In a Muslim society, fighting corruption and injustice is like fighting in the cause of Allah. The Almighty has commanded the believers to do so.

وَقَاتِلُواْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ
وَلاَ تَعْتَدُوۤاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُعْتَدِينَ
“Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you,
but do not transgress limits; for
Allah loves not transgressors.
(al-Quran 2:190)

Here’s the law of this cruel and ruthless world: Those who cannot defend themselves, have no right to exist. Freedom is not granted on a silver platter, it is snatched with force. And if you don’t have the force, don’t even think of freedom. Chocolate soldiers, music-playing decorative regiments and adultery-loving troops cannot fight to protect freedom. A corrupt administration (government) has no credentials to win honor and respect for its people either. Its “best bargain” would be slavery.

*****************************
No government ever implemented
the Islamic Laws of Social Justice
and Equality to introduce a really
successful system of government
in Pakistan. All of them failed!

*****************************

Let’s look back for a while to understand how the idea of Pakistan was conceived by Allama Muhammad Iqbal; and how it was viewed by the ‘Father of the Nation’, Muhammad Ali Jinnah.


ALLAMA IQBAL’S DREAM:

The great thinker of the East, Allama Muhammad Iqbal was the first person in the Indian sub-continent to officially announce the concept of a separate Muslim nation. He was the pioneer of all freedom movements. On 29th December, 1930, while addressing the 25th session of the All-India Muslim League at AllahabadIndia, Allama Iqbal, in his presidential speech, presented the idea of a separate homeland for Indian Muslims. This was the official conception of Pakistan. His dream was ultimately realized in 1947, in the form of Pakistan – a new country for the Muslims of Indian sub-continent.

CONCEPTION OF PAKISTAN:

“I would like to see the Punjab, North-West Frontier Province,
Sindh and Balochistan amalgamated into a single State.
Self-government within the British Empire, or without the
British Empire, the formation of a consolidated North-West
Indian Muslim State appears to me to be the final destiny of
the Muslims, at least of North-West India.”

“The principle of European democracy cannot be applied to
India without recognizing the fact of communal groups. The
Muslim demand for the creation of a Muslim India within
India, is, therefore, perfectly justified. The resolution of the
All-Parties Muslim Conference at Delhi is, to my mind,
Wholly inspired by this noble ideal of a harmonious whole
Which, instead of stifling the respective individualities of
Its component wholes, affords them chances of fully working
Out the possibilities that may be latent in them. And I have no
doubt that this House will emphatically endorse the Muslim
demands embodied in this resolution.”

“Hindus should not fear that the creation of autonomous Muslim
states will mean the introduction of a kind of religious rule in
such states. I have already indicated to you the meaning of the
word religion, as applied to Islam. The truth is that Islam is not
a Church. For India, it means security and peace resulting from
an internal balance of power; for Islam, an opportunity to rid
itself of the stamp that Arabian Imperialism was forced to give
it, to mobilize its law, its education, its culture, and to bring
them into closer contact with its own original spirit and with
the spirit of modern times.”        
                                                   ---   Dr. Muhammad Iqbal

And here’s how the ‘founding father’ of Pakistan expressed his views on the subject and presented them to the Muslims of the sub-continent:


MUHAMMAD ALI  JINNAH:

The Father of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, got his higher education in the English institutions of Britain. He spent many years overseas and he knew very well the nature and character of the ruling elite running the British Empire. He knew how to deal with them but it was the Indian people who created problems for him. Just like today, they were then also divided into groups/sects; and it was very difficult to bring them together on one platform. Jinnah asked Indian Muslims to learn their lesson.

JINNAH’S VISION:

Excerpts from Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s Presidential speech to
the Muslim League at Lucknow, October 1937.

 “The one wholesome lesson that I ask the Musalmans to learn,
before it is too late, is that the path before the Musalmans is,
therefore, plain. They must realize that the time has come when
they should concentrate and devote their energies to self-
organization and full development of their power, to the exclusion
of every other consideration.”
“I have pointed out before that a section of Musalmans is divided,
that there is a group that stands with face turned towards the British.
If they have not learnt by now of the bitter consequences, they will
never learn. God only helps those who help themselves”
“There is another group which turns towards the Congress, and
they do so because they have lost faith in themselves. I want the
Musalmans to believe in themselves, and take their destiny in
their own hands. We want men of faith and resolution who have
the courage and determination, and who would fight single-handed
for their convictions, though at the moment the whole world may
be against them. We (must) develop power and strength, till the
Musalmans are fully organized and have acquired that power and
strength which must come from the solidarity and the unity of
(the) people.”
“Eighty millions of Musalmans in India have nothing to fear.
They have their destiny in their hands, and as a well-knit, solid,
organized, united force can face any danger; and withstand any
opposition to its united front and wishes. There is the magic power
in your own hands. Take your vital decisions – they may be grave
and momentous and far-reaching in their consequences. Think (a)
hundred times before you take any decision, but once a decision is
taken, stand by it as one man. Be true and loyal, and I feel confident
that success is with you.”                        
                                                               ----- Muhammad Ali Jinnah

Jinnah’s address to the Muslim League, Lahore, 1940:

“But one thing is quite clear: it has always been taken for granted,
mistakenly, that the Mussalmans are a minority, and of course we
have got used to it for such a long time that these settled notions
sometimes are very difficult to remove. The Mussalmans are not
a minority. The Mussalmans are a nation by any definition. But
surely the Mussalmans are not a minority. We find that even
according to the British map of India, we occupy large parts of
this country where the Mussalmans are in a majority, such as
Bengal, Punjab, N.W.F.P., Sind, and Baluchistan.”

"You remember the conversation I reported to you in Calcutta
which I had with Hakim Ajmal Khan and Dr. Kitchlew. There is
no finer Muhammadan in Hindustan than Hakim Ajmal Khan,
but can any Muslim leader over-ride the Quran? …..
I think that the masses are wide awake. They only want your
guidance and your lead. Come forward as servants of Islam.
organise the people economically, socially, educationally, and
politically, and I am sure that you will be a power that will be
accepted by everybody.”
                                                        ----- Muhammad Ali Jinnah


It is high time for the people of Pakistan to clean up the mess; single out the traitors and the ‘Munafiqeen’; and get rid of them as soon as possible. Fix your house well before it crumbles! Unless you get together on one platform with one force binding all, you cannot achieve success. The best help comes from Allah. It’s time to repent and revert to Allah. He is the Most Merciful and the Best Protector!

پاکستان کو سب سے زیادہ نقصان غدار پاکستانیوں نے پہنچایا۔

قومیں جب بے غیرت ہو جائیں تو مٹ جاتی ہیں۔

یہ قانون قدرت ہے۔ قرآن کھول کر دیکھیں!

وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً وَلاَ يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ 
“To every people is a term appointed. When their term
is reached, not an hour can they cause delay, nor (an hour)
can they advance it (in anticipation).”
(al-Quran 7:34)

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا يَمَسُّهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفْسُقُونَ
 “But those who reject our signs, punishment shall
touch them, because they used to disobey. “
(al-Quran 6:49)


جاگو۔ ابھی وقت ہے توبہ اور استغفار کے لئے۔ تباہی دہلیز پر کھڑی ہے۔

منافقت اورفرقہ پرستی چھوڑو مسلمان بنو۔ صوبہ پرستی چھوڑو  پاکستانی بنو۔

اپنی بداعمالیوں ، نااہلی، جہالت، کرپشن  اورملکی تباہی کا الزام دوسروں پر نہ ڈالو۔


ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ زِدْنَاهُمْ
عَذَاباً فَوْقَ ٱلْعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يُفْسِدُونَ
“Those who reject Allah and hinder (men) from the
Path of Allah, for them will We add penalty to penalty;
for that they used to spread mischief.” 
(al-Quran 16:88)
