News around the Muslim World on Monday 6 October 2014

Easily recognised because of their colourful turbans, members of Pakistan's Sikh community say they have been singled out and attacked increasingly in the South Asian nation where radical Islamist militants see them as infidels.

Their plight highlights a growing atmosphere of intolerance in a country long plagued by sectarian violence. Like Shi'ite Muslims, Christians and other minorities, Sikhs live in a paranoid and hostile world where every stranger is assumed to be an attacker.

Pakistani Sikhs face persecution!

The word resurrection means the action or fact of resurrecting or being resurrected; (the Resurrection); (in Christian belief) Christ’s rising from the dead; the Resurrection (in Christian belief) the rising of the dead at the Last Judgment.

We cannot know the above or see the above, in this article, without knowing and learning the truth from our hearts. Does this involve envy and the worst kind of jealousy?

The Million Man March, Washington, D.C., October 16th, 1995.

                                                                         

WE BELIEVE THAT, UNLIKE THE QADIANI JAMAAT

1. Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's only claim was that he was a mujaddid. The Messiah and Mehdi were simple titles used for him by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s) describing aspects of his reform. Qadianis believe that Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was a real prophet.
2. All those who recite the kalima are Muslims and no one has the right to say that a reciter of the kalima is a heretic (kafir). Qadianis believe that in addition to reciting the kalima, to become a Muslim, a person has to take the baiat on their khalifa's hand.
3. We believe that the verse Khatam an nabiyeen in the Holy Quran (33:40) means that no prophet shall come after the Holy Prophet (s),  whether he is an old prophet or a new one,  as the Holy Prophet said in hadith. Qadianis say that it means new prophets will be made with the Holy Prophet's (s) seal.

Before we can start blaming Islam for all the ills of the Muslim World let us revisit the idea of modernity. Modernity is the term given to the human condition that is marked by certain privileged organizational principles namely the nation state as political unit, liberal democracy as the political ideology, capitalism as the economic method, human rights and pluralism as key elements of modern ethos and science and rationality as the dominant epistemology. As first Europe and then other nations adopted these principles they became “advanced and modern” while the rest remained “backward and traditional”.

Has modernity failed Muslims?
