‘The statement given in the Supreme Court of India under oath by Indian ex-Deputy Interior Secretary, R. V. S. Mani, accusing the Indian establishment for the attacks on the country’s own parliament as well as the Mumbai attacks, come as shocking news for all peace loving people of the world. It also shows the extent of deceit to which the Indian establishment is willing to go to blame Pakistan and Islam for false flag attacks done by their own selves.’

This was stated by the Ameer of Tanzeem-e-Islami, Hafiz Akif Saeed, at Qur’an Academy Lahore during the Friday Sermon.

 

He added that people also found the attitude of the Pakistani government, media and intelligentsia intriguing for missing an opportunity to lobby to the international community for taking India to task for their outright treachery in political practices by blaming Pakistan for every incident that occurred on domestic soil. The Ameer said that people should question the wisdom of the present Pakistani government’s stance of favoring all out ties with their hostile neighbor, now that the leak has been made public, where they could not be trusted even for words given and actions taken. Indications coming in media reports that the Prime Minister of Pakistan was still perusing back door diplomacy with India were dumbfounding under these circumstances, he noted. The Ameer said that had such revelations been made about Pakistan instead, the widespread propaganda machine of India would already have wreaked havoc both domestically and internationally through its media and other institutions.

 

The Ameer noted that the present Indian leak had also served as an eye-opener for people to understand the dynamics of the massive terrorism that has plagued Pakistan for the last decade or so, with faceless and voiceless ‘suicide bombers’ invariably accused. The name of Taliban had been defiled injudiciously in many incidents of terrorism despite various rebuttals by the Afghan Taliban of any such involvement. Contrary to that, both intelligence and media reports had testified that in most such incidents all evidence had pointed towards an Indian plot to destabilize Pakistan. Aggravation in the security situation facing Pakistan had been compounded by the blanket access given by ex-dictator Musharraf to various international intelligence agencies, including CIA, Mossad and RAW to operate freely in the country. The Ameer remarked that the national and international media had proved time and again of being part and parcel of the sinister Dajjali agenda of hiding facts and manipulating information to serve their evil purposes and to inflate the war against Islam and Muslims. The same combination had gone all out to besmirch the Afghan Taliban but the world is a witness to the respect that Allah has bestowed on them for standing their ground and combating an enemy of Islam, which is on the retreat and begging for negotiations now, the Ameer concluded.

 

Earlier, the Ameer continued his talk on Surah Al-Hadeed of the Qur’an and the importance for Muslims to strive for establishing the Deen of Allah (SWT). The Ameer, citing various verses of the Surah, explained that the Qur’an had given a revolutionary message to Muslims of worshiping the one God alone and following in the footsteps of His messenger (SAW) to wage a Jihad against all sorts of oppression. He reiterated the need for the leadership and people holding responsible positions in Islamic revolutionary movements to give up their luxurious lifestyles and follow the Sunnah of the messenger of Allah (SAW) to successfully cause a change in the current evil world order and replace it with the Deen of Allah (SWT).

Pakistan must take initiative in directing attention of the International Community towards the plight faced by the Muslim population of Myanmar

‘The newly elected prime minister of Pakistan Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif will have all the troubles Pakistan sorted out, provided he steadfastly believes in the Omnipotence of Allah.’ This was stated by Ameer of Tanzeem-e-Islami, Hafiz Akif Saeed, at Qur’an Academy Lahore during the Friday Sermon. The Ameer said that authority of bestowing or ridding people of power rests with Allah alone. The same Nawaz Sharif who was spending time behind bars a decade ago is now heading the state of Pakistan, which is evidence enough that Allah makes people experience the ebbs and flows of life, the Ameer noted. After all these experiences, Mr. Sharif must have realized by now that the ultimate authority rests with Allah alone and Mr. Sharif must dutifully act according to the will and pleasure of the Creator. The Ameer expressed concerns about some media reports suggesting that a number of high ranking US officials had called upon Mr. Sharif recently. The Ameer advised Mr. Sharif and all others in positions of authority in Pakistan to be wary of the nefarious intentions that the US and its allies hold against our nation.

Commenting on the plight of Muslims living in Myanmar, the Ameer said that the situation there was no less than genocide. He lamented the lack of focus and commitment shown by Muslim countries in trying to persuade the Myanmar authorities to intervene and stop murder at such a massive scale. He demanded the issue to be taken up at international forums. He said that the Pakistani government must sensitize the rest of the Muslim countries about the ominous situation and chalk out a joint plan to save Muslims in that country. The Ameer said that it was insensitivity of this nature that had made the blood of Muslims insignificant around the world.

 

Earlier in the sermon, the Ameer expounded on the verses of the Qur’an by explaining the symptoms and various stages of hypocrisy (Munafiqat). The Qur’an describes the fragility of faith as an initial stage of hypocrisy, which in the next stage leads to a state of compulsive lying in order to avoid the decrees ordained by Allah and his messenger. Hypocrisy then takes root in the heart, and coupled with the provocations of the Nafs and Satan, compels the person to wrongfully vouch in Allah’s name, fearlessly and indiscriminately. The Ameer remarked that in the final stage, a hypocrite consciously begins to abhor Islam and his insight is attuned to all sorts of rival ideologies. It is this fourth category of hypocrites that Allah declares will be cast into the bottom pit of the hellfire (and Allah knows best), he said. Such hypocrites, he noted, although considered Muslims in Islamic jurisprudence in this world, face the ultimate failure on the Day of Judgment when all decisions will be made on the basis on intentions and the reality that lies inside the heart.

He concluded by saying that we seek Allah’s refuge from the ills of our Nafs, from the mischiefs of the accursed Satan and we pray for His protection from the eternal hellfire. Ameen!

The two countries should advance strategic bilateral ties

‘The two day state visit of Chinese prime minister is a breath of fresh air for troubled Pakistan.’ This was stated by Ameer of Tanzeem-e-Islami, Hafiz Akif Saeed, at Qur’an Academy Lahore during the Friday Sermon. The exemplary friendship between the two countries, often quoted by analysts as Higher than the Himalayas and Deeper than the Seas is no overstatement, he said. The role played by Pakistan in introducing China to the world, in the initial days of its modern history, has always been regarded with gratitude and highest esteem by the Chinese. Over the years, China has always provided its Pakistani counterparts with sound and sincere advice, without interfering in the internal affairs of the Islamic Republic. For example, China had guaranteed Pakistan a walkover on Kashmir during the Indo-Sino war, but Pakistan showed reluctance to send troops on the ground on the false assurances of the US regime and we missed out on a major opportunity to free Kashmir from brutal Indian occupation. China even advised General Yahya Khan against conducting a military operation in the ex- East Pakistan, to which the arrogant ex-dictator sarcastically replied, ‘I thought you were our friends’. Time has attested that the Chinese offer and plan back then was far-sighted and prudent, he added.

The Ameer further noted that on the eve of the creation of Bangladesh, China had advised Pakistan to ‘erect an Iron Curtain around itself’, focus on economic development to become a world economic powerhouse and avoid becoming party to any international military conflict and adventurism. The Chinese, he said, have always advised Pakistan to prioritize and work hard towards becoming an economic powerhouse, which will enable the sovereign Islamic nation to pursue its foreign policy free from international pressures. Unfortunately, we turned a deaf ear to all these advices and are now fighting for our survival as a country, he remarked. He said that whilst Allah has bestowed upon us divine help from all possible avenues, we arrogantly defy his Authority and we as nation refuse to repent and ask for his mercy by reverting to the straight path of Islam. The Ameer warned that the Qur’an bears witness to the fact that if nations keep ignoring Allah’s Deen and haughtily follow deviant paths, Allah eventually tightens the leash on them according to His divine will.

In an authentic Islamic State, Non-Muslims, subscribing to any religious ideology, enjoy absolute and dignified liberty, parity and fraternity in all matters pertaining to their personal and communal lives, subject to acceptance of the constitutional and political framework of Islam.

Lahore (pr): ‘Islam does not envision Non-Muslims as unreserved equivalents to Muslims in matters pertaining to statecraft in Muslim-majority states.’ This was stated by Ameer of Tanzeem-e-Islami, Hafiz Akif Saeed, at Qur’an Academy Lahore during the Friday Sermon. He said this while commenting on a recently reported statement attributed to Mr. Nawaz Sharif, addressed by the PML-N Chief while addressing a gathering of religious minorities. While condoning the absolute and dignified liberty, parity and fraternity enjoyed by Non-Muslims in all matters pertaining to their personal and communal lives, including the right to security of life and property, the Ameer called on Mr. Sharif to examine those injunctions of the Qu’ran and Sunnah that unequivocally provide Non-Muslim the fortified status of ‘protected citizens’ in an authentic Islamic State.

The Ameer lambasted Mr. Sharif’s alleged statement reported in some sections of the press whereby he had allegedly pronounced that the cultural values and traditions of Hindus and Muslims were indistinguishable. The Ameer expressed his shock at the malignant ignorance displayed by the two-time Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at discounting the multitude of statements given by Mr. Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, who had asserted unambiguously that Hindus and Muslims were different in every connotation of the word ‘dissimilar’. Jinnah’s speeches focused explicitly on the distinct and incongruent lifestyles exhibited by the people of the two nations, Hindus and Muslims, based on divergent religious affiliations, the brunt of which was predominantly borne day-in and day-out by the Muslims living in pre-partition India. The Ameer remarked that nothing but a lapse of memory or, worse still, a sinister agenda explained why Mr. Sharif choose to overlook the well-documented facts, explicitly racist in nature and historically embodied by the actualities, such as the despicable division of ‘Muslim Drinking Water’ and ‘Hindu Drinking Water’, prevalent at every nook and corner of the pre-partition India.

He also noted that by offering such venomous statements, Mr. Sharif, the principal leader of one of the largest and most influential political parties in Pakistan, virtually annulled the ‘Ideology of Pakistan’ and the ‘Two-Nation Theory’. Centering his argument on Mr. Sharif’s proposition, the Ameer questioned the wisdom of breaking up a territory into two separate homelands, witnessing one of the broadest and bloodiest incidents of mass immigration in modern history, had ideological and cultural divergence between the Hindu and Muslim populaces been but a figment of imagination. The Ameer further implied that only Allah (SWT) knows best the identities and motives of those, local, national and international, power-brokers whom Mr. Sharif was vigorously seeking to gratify, by offering these noxious statements, effectively handing the nation and its future to known foes, on a silver platter.

Finally, as the Election Day approaches, the Ameer invoked Allah (SWT) to bestow on the leaders of our rapidly failing nation divine guidance, faith and devotion to the cause of Islam and prayed for divine intervention to help them tread on the path of eternal salvation. 

All election candidates for Parliament Seats must have basic knowledge about Islam

The only solution to Pakistan’s multi-faceted crises is an honest

enforcement of the Islamic System

Elections can never resolve the problems of our country.

Lahore (pr): ‘The only solution to Pakistan’s multi-faceted crises is an honest
enforcement of the Islamic System. Without Islam, even the most free and fair
elections cannot resolve the problems of our country.’ This was stated by Ameer
of Tanzeem-e-Islami, Hafiz Akif Saeed, during a debate entitled ‘Are elections the
solution to crises in Pakistan?’ held at Qur’an Auditorium Lahore. Addressing the
gathering, he noted that the ebbs and flows of Muslim nations were never the
same as other nations of the world. He said that this was particularly true in the
case of Pakistan, which had Islam at the heart of its conception. He said that after
independence, the Muslims of Pakistan had ironically departed from the Islamic
Ideology and the Two-Nation Theory, which were not only the bases for the
creation of our country, but also the gel that bonded various ethnic and linguistic
groupings into a single nation. As a consequence our ‘nation’ had dissolved into
various cliques on ethnic and linguistic bases. He mentioned this as a primary
reason for failing to reach national consensus on issues like building the Kalabagh
Dam despite the looming crises of agriculture and power in Pakistan. He said that
while India was continuously depriving Pakistan of its water resources, the lack of
unity in our ranks had prevented us from pleading our case at any significant
bilateral or international forum. He said that a vast majority of our population had
time and again been seduced by the vain vows of prosperity made by the secular
political parties of Pakistan. He advised the electorate to astutely examine the
role of these secular political parties in bringing Pakistan to the brink of
catastrophe before voting for them in the upcoming elections.

Addressing the religious parties of Pakistan, the Ameer said that 65 years of futile
struggle had proven beyond doubt that in the presence of clan and feudal
systems in Pakistan, elections would not make any difference. ‘Even the majority
government of MMA in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during the reign of President
Musharaf could not bring any trace of Islamic System in that province let alone
the country as a whole’, he said. He called upon the leadership of all religious
parties to quit flogging a dead horse and opt out of the electoral process.

Citing the unique circumstances of Pakistan, he ruled out the option of an armed
struggle against the status quo to enforce Shariah. He said that although some
Schools of Islamic Thought permitted an armed rebellion against the ruling elite,
stringent conditions had been set for such actions, which seemed impossible to
meet given the current circumstances in Pakistan. He added that it appeared
virtually impossible for unarmed civilians to successfully revolt against an
establishment that included a fully equipped army and air force, an organized
police force and other state security apparatus.

The Ameer said that the world had witnessed unarmed revolutions in countries
like Iran and Venezuela in the not too distant past. He added that a well-organized
party, whose members had enforced the Shariah on themselves and their family,
could protest peacefully and affect a positive change in the country. He said that
while members of that party would never spill the blood of innocent civilians,
they would need to prepare themselves for all kinds of self-sacrifice. He cited the
example of the successful Lawyers Movement of 2007, which after peaceful
protest for more than three years, had been able to restore the top judiciary in
the country. He said that discipline in the ranks of such movements was pivotal to
the successful pursuit of their goal. He warned religious leaders of Pakistan about
the catastrophic consequences of bringing the masses into streets without
adequate homework.

Earlier the moderator of the debate, Mr. Ayub Beg Mirza, gave a presentation
about the political, economic, social and moral crises being faced by Pakistan
today.

Lahore (pr): ‘Representation of the people of Pakistan is a prerogative of only

those individuals who have a firm belief in the Ideology of Pakistan.’ This was

stated by Ameer of Tanzeem-e-Islami, Hafiz Akif Saeed, at Qur’an Academy

Lahore during the Friday Sermon. He said that criticism of Articles 62 and 63 of

our constitution by ex-members of the parliament was absurdly inconsistent with

their eagerness to take oath under the same constitution after winning the polls.

He remarked that all MPs of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan took oath of

allegiance to uphold and protect the Islamic premise of its constitution, which was

at the heart of founding the nation.

Commenting on the news about rejection of nomination papers of journalist Ayaz

Amir, he said that if Mr. Amir believes that the raison d'état for the creation of

Pakistan was other than Islam, then he should refrain from running for the

parliament and save himself the trouble of taking oath under the country’s

current Islamic constitution. He questioned the integrity of such ‘intellectuals’

whose remarkable hypocrisy was demonstrated by their perpetual assault on

Islamic articles of the country’s constitution on one hand and their alacrity to take

oath under the same constitution on the other. He said that the electorate of the

country could not be blamed for believing that all such MPs contested polls just to

satiate an incessant lust for wealth and power. ‘Islam is firmly embedded in the

foundations of Pakistan and citizens of this country will never allow a divorce

between the two’, he concluded.
