इस्लाम सभी धर्मों के बीच शांतिपूर्ण अस्तित्व को बढ़ावा देता है। सभी प्रमुख धर्मों की शिक्षाएं अमन व शान्ति पर ज़ोर देती है। लेकिन धर्मों की गलत व्याख्या मतभेद और विवाद को हवा देती है। हम अक्सर देखते हैं कि धर्म के नाम निहाद नेता उत्तेजना,उग्रवाद,आक्रामकता और नफरत की आग भड़काते हैं और यही नहीं,वह हिंसा और खूनी संघर्ष को वैधता प्रदान करते हैं।प्रायः जबरन राजनीति के सपने को लागू करने के लिए धर्म का दुरुपयोग किया जाता है। अतीत से लेकर आज तक लगातार हम इस बात का निरीक्षण कर सकते हैं कि प्रायः हिंसक गतिविधियां धर्म के नाम पर अंजाम दी जाती हैं।
لہذا، اگر ہم مذکورہ اصطلاحات کی روشنی میں قرآن مجید کی محولہ آیات پر غور کریں تو یہ ثابت ہوتا ہے کہ ہمیں آگے بڑھنا چاہیے اور جہاں تک ممکن ہو نسل، مذہب یا قومیت سے قطع نظر لازمی طور پر ہر قسم کے ضرورت مندوں اور پناہ گزینوں کی بھی مالی امداد کرنی چاہئے اور اپنے تعاون کا ہاتھ ان سے کبھی نہیں کھینچنا چاہئے۔ یہ نہ تو قرآنی آیات کی تزئین کاری ہے اور نہ ہی قرآنی اصلاح کی کوئی کوشش ہے ، بلکہ یہ قرآن کی اس سچائی کو دیانت داری کے ساتھ قارئین کے سامنے پیش کرنے کی ایک سعی ہے جس میں قرآن ان عبادت گزاروں پر لعنت کرتا ہے " جو اپنی نماز (کی روح) سے بے خبر ہیں (یعنی انہیں محض حقوق اﷲ یاد ہیں حقوق العباد بھلا بیٹھے ہیں)،وہ لوگ (عبادت میں) دکھلاوا کرتے ہیں،اور وہ برتنے کی معمولی سی چیز بھی مانگے نہیں دیتے"(7-107:5)۔

The decline in
terrorism-related incidents can be attributed to the launch of a Province-wide
crackdown on terrorist groups following the February 14-suicide attack on Mall
Road, Lahore. The Provincial Intelligence Centre of the Punjab Home Department
had issued a letter directing the Police leadership to beef up security in
different cities of the Province....
America, in
fact, is founded on the idea of purpose: life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. One election cycle after another, Americans rally around candidates
personifying deeply rooted ideals of what our country is supposed to be. But,
where does purpose come from? What is it? For over two millenniums, discerning
our purpose in the universe has been a primary task of philosophers....
Revenge rape
should technically mean that the man who raped a mere child should have been
raped himself. In a misogynist culture like ours it means his sister, also a
minor gets raped. This tells us that for the Panchayat it is a more cruel
punishment to the rapist to see his sister raped. Therefore, having your
sister, so-called dishonoured, is worse than your own death....
The purity and
humbleness of Fatima placed her among the world’s best of women, as per a
saying for the prophet, which narrates as: “The best women in the entire world
are four: the Virgin Mary, Aasiya the wife of Pharaoh, Khadijah Mother of the
Believers, and Fatimah daughter of Mohammed.”....
Sufi orders
formed in the ninth and tenth centuries as spiritual movements to bypass the
legalism of the Ulema and the worldliness and luxury of the caliphate. At a
time when Islam was becoming dogmatic, claiming that Muhammad’s religion was
the only true faith and that the Qur’an was the only valid scripture, Sufis saw
God everywhere, even in pagan traditions. At a time when the Ulema had closed
the gates of Ijtihad, regarding revelation as complete, Sufis sought new
revelations from God. At a time when the Ulema preached a God of law, Sufis
spoke of God as love....
How come it is
Ibn Sina the “Mulhid” whose argument for God is taught till date from
centuries in Madrasa curriculum and it is a text on Fiqh (Bidayat
al-Mujtahid) by another “Mulhid” Ibn Rushd that even Imam Kashmiri couldn’t
resist praising and changing his opinion about the philosopher. And it is
another philosopher Mulla Sadra whom he considered Muhaqqiq and highly
recommended on such questions as afterlife.
And who can ignore his respect for Iqbal, the sage of the East?....
The Qur’an as a
whole, including all of its aspects and traits, is a miracle that no one other
than God can compose. Emphasising the eloquence of Qur’an essentially reduces
it to a literary masterpiece or a work of art. This is far from the whole
purpose of the Qur’an. The Book is certainly a literary miracle, but that
should be thought of as a secondary feature and a by-product of the real theme
of God’s Book. Furthermore, the Qur’an is a miracle for all mankind, in all
places and at all times...
Islam, in other
words, is not the exceptional religion that both its believers and critics
often think it is. It is rather a branch of the old Abrahamic tree and is going
through the challenges that other branches have gone through. Islam also has
the seeds of reform within itself. On Shariah, here is a silver lining: Some
medieval Islamic scholars, like Imam Abu Ishaq al-Shatibi of Granada, looked
beyond the letter of the law and mapped out the divine “intentions” behind
Shariah. ....
There is of course another way to look
at the spending trend of this era. The people, who pay heavy taxes and are
engaged in a time demanding and stressful job, need change and recreation to
regain their energy with recreation, entertainment and travel – none forbidden
in Islam. The Qur’an only forbids an obsessive craving to spending money with
complete disregard of one’s social responsibilities. Such people, the Qur’an
says, have no faith in God or the hereafter and are dominated by the Satan….

पूरी तरह से आकस्मिक परिस्थितियों और मामलों के आधार पर मुसलमानों को पश्चिमी दुनिया की सहानुभूति प्राप्त हुई है और उन्हें बजाय ज़ालिम के पीड़ितों के रूप में पेश किया गया हे। निश्चित रूप से यह मुसलमानों के लिए एक आकस्मिक वरदान है जिसनें तेज़ी से उभरते हुए सांस्कृतिक टकराव की अवधारणा को समाप्त कर दिया है। वैश्विक मुस्लिम उलेमाओं को भी इसी अंदाज में जवाब देना चाहिए और अमेरिका में प्रवेश के इस प्रतिबंध को अपने समुदायों में पश्चिम विरोधी भावना को कम करने का एक साधन समझना चाहिए।
ومن ثم، إذا كنا نفكر في الآيات القرآنية المذكورة أعلاه في ضوء المفردات القرآنية، ينبغي أن نتقدم بتقديم المساعدة المالية إلى جميع فئات المحتاجين وكذلك اللاجئين بغض النظر عن عرقهم أو دينهم أو جنسياتهم وعدم التراجع أبدا عن مساعدة الآخرين. هذا هو التعليم الحقيقي للقرآن الكريم الذي يلعن أولئك "الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ ﴿٥﴾ الَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَاءُونَ ﴿٦﴾ وَيَمْنَعُونَ الْمَاعُونَ ﴿٧﴾ (7-107:5)
دہشت گردی، انتہاپسندی اور عدم رواداری کے خلاف آواز اٹھانے والے مفکرین کی کوششیں قابل تعریف ہیں اور ہمیں ان کے اقدامات کی سراہنا کرنی چاہئے لیکن اس کا قطعی یہ مطلب نہیں ہے کہ ہم اس امر کو تسلیم کر لیں کہ اسلام کو آج جن حوصلہ شکن مسائل اور پریشانیوں کا سامنا ہے ان کا تصفیہ تبھی ممکن ہے جب ہم قرآن کو انسانوں کے ذریعہ تیارکی گئی ساتویں صدی کی ایک ایسی فرسودہ کتاب تسلیم کر لیں جو غلطیوں اور تضاد بیانیوں کا مجموعہ ہے، لہٰذا اکیسویں صدی میں پر امن زندگی گزارنے کے لئے ہمیں قرآن اور اس کی تعلیمات سے اوپر اٹھنا ہوگا۔ میں نے موصوف کا پورا مضمون بڑی دلچسپی کے ساتھ مطالعہ کیا۔ خیال تھا کہ موصوف نے اپنے مضمون میں جتنے بڑے بڑے دعوے کئے ہیں ان کی دلیلیں بھی اتنی ہی مضبوط ہوں گی۔

“For 10 years I
suffered an intense amount of racism, questions about why I'm here, when I'm
[going to] go back home,” Hussain says. “I shut down. I struggled. You're
projected as this threat ... just someone who doesn't belong.” He became
westernised, he says. Part of that meant speaking English as well as he could,
forgetting his mother tongue along the way and trying to assimilate to the
local culture. But those efforts did not change where he was from – he heard
comments such as “Oh you're alright for a Paki”....
Muhammad was
then brought to a local police station where he was interrogated as someone who
might have had something dangerous underneath his shirt. The veteran had
reported him to the train conductor on the grounds that he was carrying a bomb.
Law enforcement officials questioned Muhammad about his family background,
religious beliefs and political views....
Anti-Semitism
should not be used as an issue in discussions and debates over the struggle for
the liberation of Palestine. Ever since
the establishment of the Jewish state in Palestine and all throughout the
unfolding of Zionist policy, Jews like Chaim Weizmann have expressed the idea
that Zionist crimes in Palestine are to be deplored, not so much because of
their nature as acts of butchery against a largely unarmed Palestinian Arab
population...
Tunisia has
long been regarded as a pioneer for women’s rights in the Arab world, but the
day-to-day life of many Tunisian women is still one of abuse and harassment. So
when Parliament passed a measure last week outlawing violence against women,
some burst into ululation and passed around bouquets of jasmine....
Evocation of
Islamic homogeneity was also beneficial for Nasreen. Despite her support to the
BJP-led central government on issues such as ‘triple Talaq’ or her active
participation in anti-Muslim controversies such as use of loudspeakers in
mosques, she has not been able to achieve the status that Canadian journalist
Tarek Fateh has acquired in a short span of time. Hindutva forces do not find
her suitable enough for representing anti-Islamic views in the name of
reforms....
