Me And Islam (Episode No.1)

Me And Islam
Writer: Taimoor Ajmal
Episode: 1

(Must read the first part of this novel called "Me and God".)

Some stories are always open and some always remain secret. There are two sides to this world, one that we can see and one that is completely hidden, some reflection of which we also find in fiction. What is hidden is a secret and the secret is always the story, the details. Otherwise, we all know, there is oppression, justice, fate, cruelty, life, death, etc, etc, we know the title of everything but the details remain secret. When these secrets reveal, no one wants to believe, they just consider it as fiction. Because if this truth is accepted, it hurts. But why do we unknowingly forget that this world is not from us, we are from this world. There are two powers in this world, one good, and the other evil, and each person either adopts one of them and rules over the other, or fights for its survival under its influence. But the loyalty of the person who is under influence depends on the strength of the person who rules. If the ruler's grip on good power is weakened, then the person under the influence of goodness is more likely to be hit by evil. And the thing about evil is that it has a lot of power, it has a lot of attraction, but as long as there is goodness, it cannot prevail completely.

Let's go to Islam now, I did not come to teach you, Islam, here, and if you have come to learn Islam in this novel. It is very sad, it is your intellectual and knowledge weaknesses That you go out in search of Islam without reading and understanding the Qur'an. And then some writers make you an extremist or a terrorist or a sectarian, you get the authority to do the fatwa of disbelief, Maulvis do this job well. You will only get the true knowledge of Islam from the scholar who will guide you with the verses of the Qur'an and Hadith of Prophet(P.B.U.H). But for that, at least you have to understand the Qur'an. I am not a religious scholar, but you can call me Maulvi if you want because I can further ignite your ignorance with my emotional words. I can satisfy you by twisting the Shari'ah a little and by adding intellect in this. I can be popular by telling you the things that are very interesting and good to hear, by giving the name of Hadith. I can also cheat you by becoming a Sufi using the cover of love. But sadly, neither I have a too long beard nor I have ruined my world in someone love, and I did not even get rid of this world in which the implementation of Islam is my responsibility. Therefore, I cannot hold the position of Maulvi or Sufi. Whatever you want, you can give me that name, but I consider myself just a traveler who will tell you the story of his journey, and I will also tell the stories that I heard from other colleagues on this journey.

I will take you to the story with a few last words. You will find these my Final Arguments. But no, every word and sentence of this story is so powerful that there is no folly in considering it as a Final Argument.

I'm here as a writer, so let's talk about writing first. Literature is a powerful weapon against Islam. Which destroyed the empires without shedding blood, This literature has a great influence on the overthrow of Sultan Abdul Hamid, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Those who were guilty were called messengers of peace. And whenever a Muslim went out to save his home, he was called a terrorist, Because he withdrew from politics, run away from his ideology, He turned away from Allah and His Messenger Muhammad (P.B.U.H). When his emotions arose from the movements of the enemy, from the writings of the enemy, then humiliation was destined. It is said that a Muslim is naive. Yes, it is, but he also storms against false. he knows politics too. But we became a storm and came down against our nation, we did politics against our nation. We abused the rulers, but we deserved the abuse ourselves. Our women are experts in separating their husbands from their mothers if they are wives, experts in making their daughters-in-law guilty in front of their sons if they are mothers. If we talk about our boys, then he is an expert in seducing girls. If it's a girl, she's good to make any boy crazy for her. And the writer is an expert in introducing new ways to these tricks by writing on these politics. Politics and wisdom are full in our veins, but it is a matter of use, to whom he loves to sing his songs. Man can do everything, but today's Muslims put all the blame on Allah. And the Muslim who manipulates the human intellect for his benefit seems helpless in the matter of Islam, it will be correct if I say this, "he shows himself helpless".

Iqbal (Poet of the East) said Golden words in "Jawab-e- Shikwa" (Answer to the Complaint){Jawab-e-Shikwa is an answer to the complaint, where Iqbal beautifully uses his lyrical expression to explain how Allah would have responded.} : 

" Tey to aba wo tmharay hi mgar tm kia ho
Hath pay hath daraih muntaziray farda ho! "

Translation.

" These were your great progenitors; you lack their brain and brawn;
You sit and wait in slothful ease for every morrow's dawn"

He came to a small village as a new imam of the mosque of one of the sects of Muslims. A graduate of Darasaat (Completed Islamic Education from Islamic Authentic School or university) was very well versed, neither poison in his speech nor provocation in his eyes.

On the other hand, in the same village, in the Imambargah (type of mosque) of another sect of Muslims, a person with the same ability had come as an imam.

Their speeches continued to be very popular, as they were creating love for each other in these two sects of Muslims.
