Beyond Iran: The Indo-Israeli Pivot and the Looming Threat to Islamabad

 

In the name of Allah the most Beneficent and Merciful

For the first time in decades, 3 American aircraft carriers are operating at the same time in the region with 15,000 sailors and 200 aircrafts. Is this to show strength to Iran so that they bow down? the recent two months have demonstrated that Iran won’t bow down no matter how many aircraft carriers are brought. If they want to further bomb Iran the existing Arab lackies are providing all the support America needs. Based upon destruction brought upon Iran it is not likely that Iran can pose a threat to Israel for many years to come. So, what is the objective of spending so much more money and raising opposition at home?

It may seem like a crazy idea but based upon my recent article  https://nadeemchaudhry.blogspot.com/2026/04/israel-india-yajooj-and-majooj-gog-and.html It is quite possible that Pakistan is the target. This is perfect time for such an adventure. Hafiz & Co are like a teenager who has been invited to dinner by the most gorgeous girl in class. They cannot believe their lucky stars that they are receiving such praise and attention from abba-ji. What they don’t realize in their delight/delusion is that abba-ji won’t wait a moment to destroy Pakistan. As a true historical analogy consider the fact that during WW-II, Stalin was totally convinced that Germany won’t attack Russia. His delusion was so extreme that many Soviet commanders were explicitly ordered not to return fire, even as their units were being decimated by German artillery and aircraft.

The Zionists are losing public opinion fast, especially among young generation. See the unbelievable election of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of NY. This is happening at such a pace and across the board that even mainstream media pundits like Piers Morgan have to change their stand on Gaza. People like Tucker Carlson are now openly challenging not just the Israeli lobby in America but the Christian Zionists supporting Israel ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GT8E7HTwKM). Add to it the recent position of catholic pope who is the spiritual leader of 1.4 billion people. This shift in public opinion cannot be reversed easily, if at all. The Zionists and their intellectual fathers, the Christian Zionists, now realize that their narrative is fast losing ground. If they have to fulfil their messianic dream of greater Israel and the building of third temple, they have to do it now or they won’t get another chance, ever. The part about greater Israel is complete in reality, all the rulers in what constitute greater Israel are basically governors appointed/approved by Israel. If you have any doubt about it just consider who intercepted the missiles launched by Iran towards Israel. The only missing piece is the building of third temple. For that the time is running out. The collation of shameless sunni/arab leaders in and around middle-east that they have made over the last couple of decades might not hold very long. They have to do it now. The only Muslim country, with the military and public opinion, capable of opposing this venture is Pakistan. So, it is imperative for Israel to take care of Pakistan before taking on this adventure. Their ideological brothers, the Brahmins of India, are too excited about this and would go out of their way to help Israel in this adventure.

Israel & India - Yajooj and Majooj (Gog and Magog)

 

In the name of Allah the most Beneficent and Merciful

Surah Al-Kahf (18:94-97) mentions Yajooj and Majooj very clearly, without any ambiguity, i.e they are humans not some supernatural beings. They are mentioned as corrupt people who spread corruption on land. They are mentioned collectively belonging to the same geographical area, but the exact area is not clearly mentioned in Quran.

These days almost every talk show host is talking about end of time prophesies. I am not a talk show host but I have made a curious observation which I would like to share with you. It is a well-known fact that the ruling elite of Israel is basically Ashkenazi Jews who originated from the area which is currently known as the Caucasus region. Their birth names are eastern European names, here is a list of Israeli prime ministers: Benjamin Netanyahu’s birth name is Benjamin Mileikowsky, Golda Meir was Golda Mabovitch / Meyerson, Ariel Sharon was Ariel Scheinermann, Moshe Sharett was Moshe Shertok.

Now jump completely to the other side of Caucasus region, i.e towards India. According to recent genetic studies, many Brahmins are genetically linked to the same area, i.e Caucasus region.  Here I mention only two: “The genetic history of the Southern Arc: A bridge from West Asia to Europe” (Lazaridis et al., 2022). The study argues that the ancestry that eventually became "Steppe" ancestry (which is highly prevalent in Brahmins) actually originated in the Caucasus/West Asian region. This places the "ancestral home" of the linguistic and genetic markers found in Brahmins directly in the Caucasus. The second study: “The formation of human populations in South and Central Asia” (Narasimhan et al., 2019). The study showed that Brahmins have the highest ratio of "Steppe" to "Indus Valley" ancestry in India, both of which trace their roots back to the geographic region of the Caucasus and the adjacent Eurasian Steppe.

I asked the following question to Google Gemini “how would you describe the cultural affinity between the current ruling elites of India and Israel” and got the following response: “The cultural and ideological affinity between the current ruling elites of India and Israel is often described as a "Civilizational Alignment." This goes beyond simple trade or defense; it is rooted in a shared worldview that sees both nations as ancient civilizations undergoing a modern "reawakening.” This response is not from some Muslim Imam pushing his eschatological narrative on Youtube to rake up likes on his podcast. This is from a leading American based AI tool. Now I leave it up to you to ponder over the “reawakening” of the "Civilizational Alignment."

Why SA wanted Iran to be attacked?

In addition to the historical rivalry there is a more subtle reason. In the recent few months, we have witnessed the skirmish between SA and UAE. Then Ahmed bin Othman al-Tuwaijri, a Saudi “intellectual” published an article in which he asserted that UAE is a trojan horse of Israel https://www.al-jazirah.com/2026/20260122/fe3.htm If one is looking for a live example of the proverb "The pot calling the kettle black" than this article is the best example of it.  Who has any doubt about the relationship between SA and Israel? Contrary to the claims of the author, this article was not some independent thought of some independent “intellectual”. No one can write such an article in SA without the blessing of MBS. Why did MBS allow this article to be published? Because in the mind of MBS, UAE is trying to out smart him and as such needs to be cut down to size. MBS knows that UAE is basically a huge shopping mall and would not be able to sustain a few days of war. UAE is 88% foreign nationals, and they will fly back to their countries if the shopping mall is hit. The latest report by CNN https://edition.cnn.com/2026/02/28/middleeast/dubai-airport-uae-iran-attacks-intl-hnk states “Dubai was almost unrecognizable on Sunday. On a winter weekend – peak tourist season – the city’s beaches, malls and hotel brunches would normally be full. Instead, highways were largely empty and…..” Here is the situation of a public beach in Dubai.

SA on the other hand is huge and can sustain a few barrages of missiles and drones. This war in MBS’s mind is the proverbial, killing two birds with one stone. Directly attacking UAE, a neighbor Arab/Muslim country, would look bad. Let Israel do it, that has the added benefit of being able to show sympathy at some later appropriate time. Just like mafia boss going to the funeral of his victim and shedding tears. But what MBS does not realize or does not care is that the greater Israel project includes significant parts of SA.

Basant, Hunger Games and our religious parties

 

In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent and Merciful.

This week Lahore is in the grip of Basant fever. Almost every billboard has Basant related promotion on it. Motorcycles are being fitted with protective sticks. Doctors in government medical colleges, even those teaching basic sciences, are being told to come to duty on the weekend, rooftops are being rented for millions of Rupees etc. It got me thinking about a 2012 movie “The Hunger Games”. The movie portrayed a dystopian society where the Capitol maintains power by forcing children from oppressed districts to fight to the death as televised entertainment, turning survival into spectacle. I cannot help but see the parallels in our Basant. The rich will have lavish parties with their friends and families on their rooftops and yell bo-kata after every “payche”. The children of the poor will run after the kites after every bo-kata. While pursuing the kite they may fall in open gutter (which don’t exist in our city) hit a vehicle, fight with each other as to who caught it first. In all of this, just like in the movie, they have a high probability of getting injured or even death. While they are participating in this hunger game the other side will continue enjoying its rooftop parties, completely oblivious to what is happing down below.



I don’t have any expectation from our secular parties to confront this so-called traditional festival but I expected the religious parties and the ulema to forcefully speak against it. But unfortunately, the response is not as strong as it should be. Is it the first result of the Rs 25K that the government of Punjab plans to pay to ulema? Or is there something else behind the scene? I don’t know but would like to know.

Quran and the man Israel tried to kill

 In the name of Allah the most Beneficent and Merciful

One of the most important targets in the assassination attempt that was conducted on September 9, 2025 by Israel was Khaled Meshaal, but he survived. What many people probably don’t know about him is that this is not the first time Israel tried to assassinate him. In September of 1997 six agents of Mossad went to Amman, Jordan on fake Canadian passports armed with fentanyl, a lethal toxin. On the morning of September 25, they delivered the toxin to Khaled Meshaal via an aerosol device and then tried to escape the crime scene. Fortunately, his body guards caught two of them. Upon investigation they revealed their plan. The then king of Jordan, king Hussain asked Netanyahu (who was the prime minister of Israel at that time also) to send the antidote of the toxin. Bill Clinton, the then president of USA, compelled Netanyahu to comply with king Hussain’s request, which he grudgingly did. Under the deal, Israel not only provided the antidote but released the ailing Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the quadriplegic founder and spiritual leader of Hamas along with 70 other Palestinian prisoners. As mentioned in Quran “And it is not [possible] for one to die except by permission of Allah at a decree determined.” (3:145) Israeli plan failed and Khaled Meshaal left the hospital alive. After his recovery Khaled Meshaal became famous as a living martyr.

Khaled Meshaal in ICU, Jordan Amman

Fast forward 28 years and Israel, again under the leadership of Netanyahu, attempted to kill Khaled Meshaal. Once again Allah demonstrated to the world that “And it is not [possible] for one to die except by permission of Allah at a decree determined.”. Once again, he came out alive and once again Netanyahu is humiliated. These are signs of Allah for believers to not loose hope and have trust in Allah. Unfortunately, majority of the leaders of Muslim countries, especially Arabs, are cowards who think that if they become friends of Israel their lives will be safe. More unfortunate is the role of our religious scholars who do not highlight these things.

Likely destruction of the Al-Aqsa mosque

In the name of Allah the most Beneficent and Merciful

The Zionists are losing public opinion fast, especially among young generation. See the unbelievable rise of Zohran Mamdani in NY ( https://www.zohranfornyc.com/ ). This is happening at such a pace and across the board that even mainstream media pundits like Piers Morgan have to change their stand on Gaza. People like Tucker Carlson are now openly challenging Israeli lobby in America ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXzejeBP4AY ). This shift in public opinion cannot be reversed easily. The Zionists and their intellectual fathers, the Christian Zionists, now realize that their narrative is fast loosing ground. If they have to fulfil their messianic dream of greater Israel and the building of third temple, they have to do it now or they won’t get another chance any time soon. The part about greater Israel is complete in reality, all the rulers in what constitute greater Israel are basically governors appointed/approved by Israel. If you have any doubt about it just consider who intercepted the missiles launched by Iran towards Israel. The only missing piece is the building of third temple. For that the time is running out. The collation of shameless sunni/arab leaders in and around middle-east that they have made over the last couple of decades might not hold very long. Most people probably don’t remember that in 2019 there was a fire at Al-Aqsa mosque (https://www.newarab.com/news/al-aqsa-mosque-catches-fire-notre-dame-cathedral-burns ) because the rest of world was focused on Notredame fire. We don’t know if it was accidental or deliberate but the lack of concern from our side demonstrated to Isreal that it can be done again. So, it is very likely that Israel will create another “accidental” fire or something to bring down the Al-Aqsa mosque in the next six months to a year.

AI, Job Opportunities and Ethics

In the name of Allah the most Beneficent and Merciful 

A couple of days ago I recommended a student of mine to a very dear friend of mine (Dr. Mohammad Zubair, a very dedicated alim) for an entry level IT position in his organization. The feedback I got from Dr. Zubair was far from flattering. The problem was not lack of technical skill, but ethical. My student lied about his projects. The IT members of Dr. Zubair’s team were of the opinion that they can teach and enhance the technical abilities of someone but cannot fix the ethical shortcomings of a person.

You may ask what does this has to do with AI? Plenty. Everyone knows that AI is

Anti Hamas demonstrations and anti-Shia slogans in Gaza

 By now you might have heard or read (https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/26/middleeast/why-gazans-are-protesting-hamas-now-intl-latam/index.html) that Anti Hamas demonstrations took place in Gaza. The superficial reason given is that people of Gaza are demoralized and fed-up with the current situation, blame both Hamas & Israel for their misery and want Hamas to leave Gaza. Obviously, Israel will be glad at these supposedly spontaneous demonstrations. But these demonstrations are anything but spontaneous. The actors involved in these demonstrations are not new they are the traitors cultivated by America, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and UAE for decades (https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2008/04/gaza200804 ) waiting in shadows for any opportunity to take back control from Hamas. Nothing new so far, the new and really evil aspect is the anti-Shia slogans which were raised by these murderous traitors masquerading as simple demonstrators. These evil people would happily burn the Muslim ummah in sectarian flames to get into power. But despite their nefarious objectives and the genocide unleashed by Israel, overwhelming majority of Palestinians inside and outside of Gaza still support Hamas.

Why Zalmay Khalilzad visited Afghanistan?

 

Combination of two countries China & Israel. China is obvious competitor and is rapidly consolidating her position in Afghanistan, so no surprise there. But what does Israel have to do with it? If it was not for the courageous struggle of Hamas, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan would have recognized Israel by now. The bold action of Hamas threw a spanner in that project. But Israel has not abandoned the project at all and is working at all fronts to achieve her objective. The recent visit of about 10 Pakistanis to Israel is a proof of intention of Pakistani ruling elite ( https://english.aaj.tv/news/330407835/pakistani-delegations-secret-visit-to-israel-claims-israeli-newspaper). For the last several months, our ruling elite links almost every terrorist attack in Pakistan with Afghanistan and claims that American weapons were used in those attacks. The idea is to build the case that American weapons should be taken back from Afghanistan, by force if needed. Senator Irfan Siddiqui of PML-N has been propagating this line of thinking for quite a while now. Our ruling elite thought that this will get them the support of Trump because he wants those weapons back ( https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/02/26/afghanistan-trump-taliban-military-weapons/). If there is a convergence of objective in this case then the question arises as to why did Zalmay Khalilzad not bother to consult or take any Pakistani official with him when he went to Afghanistan? Afterall Pakistan was deeply involved when Trump was negotiating withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan.

Imran Khan, the insurance policy of our establishment.

 

In the name of Allah the most Beneficent and Merciful

A while back our establishment probably wanted him to die. But now they want him alive probably more than he himself wants to. What changed? Appointments made by Trump. I am not interested in who he nominated as Attorney general or Secretary of health etc, these are important for ordinary Americans but not for us. For my perspective following three are important.

Secretary of state: Marco Rubio, a hawk when it comes to Afghanistan and China. Wants to maintain military presence in Afghanistan to keep an eye and possibly foment trouble in China.

Secretary of defense: Pete Hegseth, served in Iraq and Afghanistan, earned two Bronze stars. 

National security adviser: Michael Waltz served multiple tours in Afghanistan over the course of his military career, which spanned several years, cumulatively amounting to significant time in-country as part of his military service.

Look at this triangle and place it next to the fact that India has largely refused to toe the American line regarding confrontation with Russia and China. The only place left for any adventure regarding China is Afghanistan/Pakistan. The problem, from American point of view, is that Afghanistan is now under Taliban rule. So how to dislodge Taliban? Use Pakistan. Who will oppose that in Pakistan? That is where Imran Khan becomes useful. Our establishment will convince Americans that if we release him, he will throw a spanner in their project and as such it is better to keep him in prison. They don’t want Imran Khan dead either because what other wolf there is to threaten Americans with? NS, FR, BZ?

P.S: In the coming weeks and months you will see how Taliban will be labelled as Khawaraj in religious circles especially in Deobandi ecosystem. This is important for mollifying the Deobandis after all Taliban are their intellectual children. The Baralvis don’t like Taliban anyways and will happily join any effort to dislodge them.

The Necessity of Teaching Science & Technology in our Madaris: Science & Sectarianism

 

In the name of Allah the most Beneficent and Merciful.

Science & Sectarianism


Sectarianism is a big issue in Pakistan, and I don’t want to go into its negative ramifications, we are all aware of it. I, along with few other people, started a yearlong software development course for ulema (graduates of our seminaries) in 2017. Details of this course are available at www.isdp.info  During these years I became acquainted with hundreds of ulema from all over Pakistan belonging to different sects and madaris (seminaries). The program requires a certain level of English and math. My initial presumption was that since these ulema deal with complex calculations involving laws of inheritance they will have the required math skills necessary for our program. But I was disappointed to find out that a good portion of them could not calculate the average of the two numbers.

Money, Consumerism and our Future

 This is a multipart presentation in which I discuss how money is created by banks, how consumerism creates false needs and how these two seemingly isolated aspects of capitalism merge to fool ordinary people to buy things that they don't need with money that they don't have.

Our Establishment, Karl Marx, and Winston Churchill

 

Every semester I give a presentation in my university titled “Materialism and our Education”. During the presentation I ask my students if they have heard of Karl Marx and almost always it is less than 5% who answer in affirmative, and out of those only one or two know about his ideas about private property and/or Das Kapital. When I ask them about Winston Churchill almost all of them know about him. At first, I was a bit confused about this bias but my confusion was eliminated when I read the English textbook for 12th class. That book contains one full chapter on Winston Churchill, in

Capitalism, Environment and Sharia

 

In the name of Allah the most Beneficent and Merciful

Capitalism, Environment and Sharia

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said

"If the Final Hour comes while you have a shoot of a plant in your hands and it is possible to plant it before the Hour comes, you should plant it." “The believer is not he who eats his fill while his neighbor is hungry.” “There is a reward for serving any living being.” “If a Muslim plants a tree or sows seeds, and then a bird, or a person or an animal eats from it, it is regarded as a charitable gift (sadaqah) for him.”

The above, and many more similar hadith, clearly require us to be guardians of nature, be conservators of resources, and strive towards sustainable living not just for us but for the entire earth.  Unfortunately, the world we are living in is going in the opposite direction. I won’t waste your time in detailing the environmental disasters that we are all witnessing on a daily basis but will go straight to the fundamental reason for it : Capitalism.

شیعہ سنی تقسیم

 

بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم

اس مضمون کا مقصد شیعہ سنی تقسیم کو ختم کرنا نہیں ۔کیونکہ پچھلے تقریبا ساڑھے تیرہ سو سال سے دونوں طرف کے مذہبی علما، طاقتور سیاسی اور عسکری شخصیات اس مقصد میں کامیاب نہیں ہو سکے ۔ چنانچہ ایسی کوئی بھی کوشش لا حاصل ہے۔ جو کام ہم کرسکتے ہیں، بلکہ ہمیں کرنا چاہئے وہ یہ ہے کہ اس کی حدود واضح کی جائیں۔ کیونکہ اگر ہم ایسا نہیں کرتے تو اس کے نتائج تباہ کن ہوں گے۔شام (ساڑھے تین لاکھ ہلاکتیں)، عراق(ساڑھے چار لاکھ ہلاکتیں) اور یمن(ایک لاکھ تیس ہزار ہلاکتیں) میں ہونے والی فرقہ وارانہ جنگیں اس بات کی واضح مثال ہیں کہ اگر فرقہ واریت کا یہ جن بوتل سے باہر نکل آیا تو کیا کچھ ہو سکتا ہے۔ہم اس وقت غیر یقینی صورتحال سے دوچار ہیں، کیونکہ امریکہ ، افگانستان مین اپنی شکست کا ذمہ دار پا کستان کو ٹہرا رہا ہے اورBJP کی حکومت میں بھارت بھی پاکستان کو آگ میں جلتا ہی دیکھنا چاہے گا۔اس تنا زعتے کو محدود کرنے کیلئے ہمیں دو بالکل واضح نکات کو تسلیم کرنا ہوگا: پہلی بات تو یہ کہ ہم تاریخ کو تبدیل نہیں کرسکتے۔جس نے جو بھی کہا یا کیا، اب  وہ تبدیل نہیں ہو سکتا، ایسے تمام حضرات اس دنیا سے جا چکے ہیں اوراب ان کا مقدمہ اللہ تعالی کی عدالت میں جا چکا ہے۔اللہ تعالی جو مناسب سمجھیں گے ان کے بارے میں فیصلہ کریں گے۔اب ہم ان کے بارے میں کوئی فیصلہ جاری نہیں کر سکتے۔ قرآن و  سنت میں مسلمانوں سے ایسا کوئی مطالبہ بھی نہیں کیا گیا۔دوسر بات یہ کہ قرب قیامت کی علامات میں سے امام مہدی  کی آمد کو خاصی اہمیت حاصل ہے۔ شیعہ حضرات تو اس بات پر پختہ یقین رکھتے ہیں کہ وہ بلاشبہ اہل بیت میں سے ہوں گے، جبکہ سنی حضرات اس  بات پر اتنا پختہ یقین نہیں رکھتے۔ لیکن دونوں حضرات اس بات پر یقین رکھتے ہیں کہ جب وہ تشریف لائیں گے تو کوئی مسلمان بھی  ان پر عدم اعتماد کا اظہار نہیں کرے گا، بلکہ انہیں تمام مسلمان متفقہ طور پر اپنا راہ نما تسلیم کر لیں گے۔سوال یہ ہے کہ جب تک وہ تشریف نہیں لاتے ہمیں کیا کرنا ہوگا؟ میرا خیال یہ ہے کہ ہمیں اس تین رکنی منصوبہ اپنانا چاہئے:

1)   اپنے فرقے کی تعلیمات کے مطابق عمل کریں اور دوسرے  فرقے پر طنز نہ کریں

2)   ایسے تمام عالموں اور ذاکروں کے بیانات سننے سے گریز کریں جو دوسرے فرقوں کے بارے میں  منفی ذہنیت اور نفرت پھیلاتے ہیں، اگر ہم مندرجہ ذیل اقدامات کریں تو یہ مقصد بڑی آسانی سے حاصل کیا جا سکتا ہے:

ان کی تنظیم اور جماعت کو چندہ نہ دیں

ان کے سوشل میڈیا چینلز  پر نہ جائیں، نہ ہی انہیں سبسکرائب کریں۔ یقین کریں ایسے لوگ صرف سوشل میڈیا پر پذیرائی چاہتے ہیں

3)   ایران اور سعودی عرب کو فرقہ وارانہ بنیادوں پر سپورٹ کرنا چھوڑ دیں، اوپر بیان کی گئی تینوں مثالوں میں ان دونوں ممالک نے اپنے اپنے فرقے کو سپورٹ کیا، جبکہ خود ایک دن بھی آپس میں نہیں الجھے ۔ایسی  رپورٹس بھی ملتی ہیں کہ ایران نے پاکستان سے شیعہ نوجوانوں کو شام میں لڑنے کیلئے بھیجا اور سعودی عرب نے سوڈان ی نوجوانوں کو یمن میں لڑنے کیلئے بھیجا۔

میرا خیال ہے کہ اگر ہم ایسا کرلیتے ہیں تو ہمارے  یا ہمارے بچوں کے پاس امام مہدی کی قیادت میں لڑنے کا بہترین موقع ہوگا، ورنہ ان کی آمد سے پہلے ہی ہم آپس  میں لڑ کر خود کو ختم کرلیں گے

Shia Sunni Divide

 

In the name of Allah the most Beneficent and Merciful

The purpose of this writing is not to “resolve” the Shia-Sunni divide. Religious scholars, very powerful political and military figures, from both sides, in the last 1350 years were unable to achieve this resolution so it is a futile attempt to do so. What we can and must do is to manage it, because if we don’t then the consequences will be devastating. Just look at sectarian based conflicts in Syria (350,000 killed), Iraq (450,000 killed), Yemen (130,000 killed) as examples of what can happen if this jinni is let out of the bottle. Our current situation is very precarious because America is blaming Pakistan for her defeat in Afghanistan, and India under BJP rule, would really want to see Pakistan up in flames. To manage it we need to consider two obvious points. First, we cannot change history. Who ever did what he/she did or said whatever he/she said is not going to change, they are all dead and in the presence of Almighty Allah. It is up to Him to judge them as He sees fit. It is absolutely not our position to pass judgement. Nowhere in Quran or Sunnah we see such demand being made from Muslims. Secondly, from an Islamic eschatology(end times) discussion the arrival of Imam Mehdi is very important. Shia firmly believe he will be for sure from ahl-e-bait but Sunnis are not very sure about him being from ahl-e-bait. But both are sure that when he arrives no Muslim will doubt him, and he will be declared as unanimous leader of Muslims. The question is until he appears what should we do? I think we should adopt following three part plan.

1)    Follow your sect but don't taunt another sect.

2)    Avoid all those maulanas or muftis or zakirs who spread negativity and animosity towards other sects. This can be done very effectively by:

a.     not donating to their organization

b.    not viewing and subscribing to their social media channels like Facebook, Youtube etc. Trust me such people really crave social media attention.

3)    Stop supporting Iran and Saudi Arabia on sectarian basis. In all three earlier mentioned examples both countries supported their respective sectarian based proxies but did not directly fight with each other for a single day. There are reports that Iran sent young Shia boys from Pakistan to fight in Syria and Saudi Arabia hired Sudanese boys to fight in Yemen.

I think if we follow this plan, we or our children have a good chance fighting kufar under the leadership of Imam Mehdi otherwise we have a good chance of killing each other before his arrival.

Demise of United States of America (USA) and Rise of United States of Dajjal (USD)

In the name of Allah the most Beneficent and Merciful


The current exit of America from Afghanistan is not just an isolated military defeat, it has far more repercussions. Soon after being kicked out of Afghanistan the mighty Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) collapsed and was reduced to Russia. No political pundit a year before the collapse imaged that outcome. Capitalist west was happy at the injured soviet bear being forced to limp back after getting “thousand paper cuts” but they were not expecting a total collapse of USSR. The super power status of USSR gave a false sense of invincibility but the inherit problems of communism were eating away at the society and that rot ultimately caused it to collapse. The defeat in Afghanistan was the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back.

تعلیمی اداروں میں قرآن پاک کی لازمی تعلیم، حکومت پاکستان کا قابل ستائش اقدام

 تعلیمی اداروں میں قرآن پاک کی لازمی تعلیم، حکومت پاکستان کا قابل ستائش اقدام


قریباً سات سال قبل حکومت نے تمام مکاتب فکر کے علماء کرام کا بورڈ بنایا، جس کا کام، قرآن پاک کا ایسا ترجمہ متعارف کروانا تھا جس پر تمام مکاتب فکر متفق ہوں۔ اور جو سکولوں میں کسی فرقے کی مخالفت کے بغیر پڑھایا جا سکے۔ ہمارے ملک پاکستان میں مذہبی جذباتی لگاؤ کے تحت یہ تقریباً ناممکن کام تھا۔ سلام ان لوگوں پر جنہوں نے اسے پایہ تکمیل تک پہنچایا۔

اب "لازمی تدریس قرآن مجید ایکٹ 2018 " کے تحت اس اقدام کو عملی شکل دی جا رہی ہے۔ 

معلوم نہیں اس پر عمل ہو گا یا نہیں. 

لیکن اس تناظر میں ایک رائے ذہن میں آ رہی تھی. 

اب وقت ہے کہ علماء کرام اپنے علم سے بچوں کو مستفیض فرمائیں. ظاہر ہے سکول و کالجز کے اساتذہ خانہ پوری کریں گے. 

لہذا خود کو ابھی سے تیار کریں, کہ کتنی تفصیل سے پڑھایا جانا چاہیے. جتنا ایک سال کے لئے تعلیمی بورڈ کہتا ہے اتنا پڑھایا نہیں جاتا۔ لہذا اس موقع سے فائدہ اٹھایا جانا چاہیے۔. 

آپ اپنے سوشل میڈیا اور آس پڑوس کے بچوں کو اپنی خدمات فری میں پیش کیجیے, پیسے ملتے ہوں تو وہ بھی لیجیے. نیز یہ نصاب عملی طورپر لاگو ہوتے ہی، سوشل میڈیا پر تدریسی گروپس بنائے جائیں، قریبی مساجد میں امام مسجد یا خطیب صاحب سے مل کر کچھ وقت بچوں کے لیے وقف کیا جائے، اور اوقات بانٹ لیے جائیں، تاکہ بچوں کے لیے ہر وقت آپ دستیاب رہیں۔ یہ اس لیے ہے کہ اس دجالی دور میں سکول کی تعلیم اور ٹیوشن ہی سب کچھ سمجھی جاتی ہے۔ بچوں کو ان کی مرضی و سہولت کے مطابق وقت دیا جائے۔ جن میں زیادہ سیکھنے کی صلاحیت ہو ان کی حوصلہ افزائی کی جائے۔ اب انہیں یہ نہ کہا جائے کہ جب تک صرف نحو نہیں سکھیں گے ترجمہ نہیں آئے گا۔

 یہ یاد رہے کہ بچوں کا مقصد نمبر لینا اور کورس کوور کرنا ہوتا ہے. ان میں دین سیکھنے کا جذبہ کیسے پیدا کرنا ہے یہ اپنے بڑوں سے مشورہ کیجئے. نیز یہ بھی تیاری کیجئے کہ بچوں نے قرآن پاک کا ترجمہ پڑھتے ہی سوال کرنے ہیں کہ فرقے کیوں ہیں، اور ایسے سوالات بھی جو سوشل میڈیا کے ذریعے ان کے ذہنوں کو دین سے بیزار کرنے کے لیے ڈالے جاتے ہیں، وغیرہ. کوشش کیجئے کہ خانہ پوری والے جوابات نہ ہوں, ایسے مختصر جوابات ہوں جو بچوں کو آسانی سے یاد ہو سکیں، اور وہ اپنا مؤقف دوسروں کو بتا بھی سکیں۔. 

نیز اسی کے ساتھ بچوں کو فرقہ واریت سے دوری کا سبق دیا جا سکتا ہے، اسلام میں عورتوں کے حقوق، گھروں میں بیٹی اور بہو میں فرق اور آسان نکاح جیسی تحریکوں کے لئے تیار کیا جا سکتا ہے۔.

Sayın Recep Tayyip Erdoğan vs Taliban

 

Sayın Recep Tayyip Erdoğan ,

Türkiye Cumhurbaşkanı,

Selamünaleyküm,

Çoğumuz, Pakistanlılar, size ve Türkiye'ye çok büyük saygı duyuyoruz. Bu yazıyı kısa tutmak için tarihsel ayrıntılara girmeyeceğim, çünkü iki büyük ulusumuz arasındaki karşılıklı sevgi ve şefkat, açık bir günde güneş kadar aşikardır. Ayrıca Müslüman ümmeti ile ilgili farklı konulardaki duruşlarınız bizler için büyük bir gurur ve mutluluktur. Biz seni ümmetin koruyucusu olarak görüyoruz . Kişisel düzeyde, mükemmel Kuran okumanız, eşinizin kıyafeti vb., bize İslam'ın kişiliğinizde merkezi bir konuma sahip olduğu hissini veriyor.

Ne yazık ki, Afganistan ile ilgili son açıklamalarınızdan bazıları bizde büyük ızdırap yaratıyor. Türkiye cumhurbaşkanı olarak Türkiye'nin ulusal çıkarlarını korumak zorunda olduğunuzu biliyoruz. Kıbrıs, S-400 uçaksavar füzeleri, Libya vs. konusundaki tutumunuzu bu arka planda anlıyoruz. Ancak bu sorunları Amerikalıların yanında yer alarak çözmeye çalışmak akıllıca bir hareket değil. Lütfen aşağıdakileri göz önünde bulundurun:

1.                   Taliban, Türkiye'nin Müslüman bir ülke olduğu için 20 yıllık çatışmalarda Türklere saldırmadı.

 

2.                   NATO'nun birleşik gücü 20 yıl içinde Taliban'ı yenmede başarılı olmadıysa, Türkiye'nin bunu tek başına yapabileceğine dair size güven veren nedir?

 

3.                   Taliban'ın gücü zorla ele geçirdiği ve bunu yapmaması gerektiği iddianız çok sığ. Güç onlardan 20 yıl önce zorla alındı. Kendi ordunuz sizden güç almaya çalıştığında ne yaptınız? Arkana yaslandın mı? Hakkınız olanı geri aldığınız için mutluyuz. Benzer şekilde, Taliban zorla ellerinden alındığında Afganistan'ı yönetiyordu.

 

4.                   Dostum dediğiniz bir savaş suçlusu, onu desteklemek bizi çok acı verici bir sonuca götürüyor, derinlerde etnik mensubiyetinizin İslami mensubiyetinizi geçersiz kılıyor .

Belirttiğiniz hareket tarzına devam ederseniz, bu etnik motivasyonun bu çatışmada Türkmenistan gibi diğer Müslüman devletleri içine almasından ve muhtemelen yüz binlerce Müslüman'ın öleceği bir savaş başlatmasından çok korkuyoruz. Kıbrıs'ı, S-400 uçaksavar füzelerini, Libya'yı vb. unutun, bir Müslüman olarak kendinizi nasıl bir geleceğin beklediğini düşünün. Kıyamet günü bütün o ölüler, hizmet ettikleri başlarından kan damlayarak gelecekler ve size onları neden öldürdünüz diye soracaklar. Türkiye, Kıbrıs, petrol ve gaz sahaları olmayacak, sadece senden ve adalet isteyen tüm o ruhlarla karşı karşıya kalacaksın. Lütfen ilk kurşunu sıkmadan önce iyice düşünün.

Saygılarımla, kardeşiniz

رجب طیب اردوان بمقابلہ طالبان

 

معزز رجب طیب اردوان صاحب،

صدر ترکی

ہم میں سے اکثریت ، پاکستانی ، آپ کو اور ترکی کو بہت ہی زیادہ عزت سے دیکھتے ہیں۔ اس تحریر کو مختصر رکھنے کے لئے میں تاریخی تفصیلات میں نہیں جاؤں گا کیوں کہ ہماری دو عظیم ممالک کے مابین باہمی محبت اور پیار روز روشن کی طرح عیاں ہے۔ مزید یہ کہ امت مسلمہ کے حوالے سے مختلف امور کے بارے میں آپ کے موقف ہمارے لئے بڑے فخر اور خوشی کا باعث ہیں۔ ہم آپ کو امت کا محافظ سمجھتے ہیں۔ ذاتی سطح پر آپ کی عمدہ تلاوت قرآن ، آپ کی اہلیہ کا لباس وغیرہ، ہمیں یہ احساس دلاتا ہے کہ اسلام آپ کی شخصیت میں مرکزی حیثیت رکھتا ہے۔

 

 بدقسمتی سے افغانستان کے بارے میں آپ کے حالیہ بیانات سے ہمیں بہت تکلیف ہوئی ہے۔ ہم جانتے ہیں کہ ترکی کے صدر کی حیثیت سے آپ کو ترکی کے قومی مفادات کا تحفظ کرنا ہوگا۔ اسی پس منظر میں ہم قبرص ، ایس -400 اینٹی ائیرکرافٹ میزائل ، اور لیبیا وغیرہ کے بارے میں آپ کے موقف کو سمجھتے ہیں۔ لیکن امریکیوں کے تعاون سے ان مسائل کو حل کرنے کی کوشش کرنا کوئی دانشمندانہ اقدام نہیں ہے۔ براہ کرم درج ذیل نکات پرغور کریں :
 1۔ طالبان نے 20 سالوں کے تنازعہ کے دوران، ترکی کے مسلم ملک ہونے کے ناطے سے ترک افواج پر حملہ نہیں کیا۔

2۔ اگر نیٹو کی تمام مشترکہ طاقت 20 سالوں میں طالبان کو شکست دینے میں کامیاب نہیں ہوسکتی ہے تو آپ کو کیا اعتماد ملتا ہے کہ تن تنہا ترکی یہ کر گزرے گا؟

3- آپ کا یہ دعویٰ کہ طالبان طاقت کے ذریعہ اقتدار پر قبضہ کر رہے ہیں اور انہیں ایسا نہیں کرنا چاہئے ، یہ بہت مبہم ہے۔ ان سے 20 سال قبل طاقت کے ذریعہ اقتدار لیا گیا تھا۔ جب آپ کی اپنی فوج نے آپ سے اقتدار لینے کی کوشش کی تو آپ نے کیا کیا؟ کیا آپ بیٹھے دیکھتے رہے تھے؟ ہمیں خوشی ہے کہ جو آپ کا حق تھا وہ آپ نے واپس لیا۔ اسی طرح طالبان افغانستان پر حکمرانی کر رہے تھے جب یہ زبردستی ان سے لیا گیا تھا۔

4۔ دوستم ایک معروف جنگی مجرم ہے، اس کی حمایت کرنا ہمیں ایک انتہائی تکلیف دہ منطقی نتیجے تک پہنچاتا ہے جس سے آپ کی نسلی وابستگی آپ کی اسلامی وابستگی پر غالب آتی محسوس ہوتی ہے۔

 

اگر آپ اپنے بیان پرعمل درآمد کرتے ہیں تو ہم بہت خوفزدہ ہیں کہ یہ نسلی تحریک ترکمانستان جیسی دوسری مسلم ریاستوں کو بھی اس تنازعے میں مبتلا کردے گی، اور اس سے ایک ایسی جنگ شروع ہوگی جس میں ممکنہ طور پر سیکڑوں ہزار مسلمان مارے جائیں گے۔

 قبرص، ایس-400 اینٹی ائیرکرافٹ میزائل، اور لیبیا وغیرہ کے بارے میں بھول جائیے، ایک مسلمان کی حیثیت سے اپنے بارے میں سوچئے کہ کیسا مستقبل آپ کا منتظر ہے۔ قیامت کے دن وہ تمام مردے اپنے سروں سے ٹپکتے خون کے ساتھ آئیں گے اور آپ سے پوچھیں گے کہ آپ نے انہیں کیوں مارا؟ وہاں نہ تو ترکی ہوگا، نہ قبرص، نہ تیل یا گیس کے کنویں، بس آپ تن تنہا، ان تمام جانوں کا سامنا کریں گے جو انصاف مانگ رہے ہونگے۔ براہ کرم ایک بھی گولی چلنے سے پہلے اس کے بارے میں واقعی انتہائی سنجیدگی سے سوچیں۔

 

 نیک تمناؤں کے ساتھ، آپ کا مسلم بھائی

ندیم غفور چوہدری
