Ansar Abbasi's Excellent Knowledge of Islam.


Ansar Abbasi, Editor Investigation, The News/Jang Group of Newspapers

The article (Jang 7 Feb 2009) by Ansar Abbasi in question:

As a free citizen Mr Ansar Abbasi [Correspondent of Daily Jang and The News International's Editor Investigations] has every right to have his opinion [no matter how harsh and no matter against whom] but I ask, is it necessary to Insert Islam into every damn thing in Pakistan. Why dont these Pseudo Islamist type of Journalist keep their mouth shut on Islam when they dont know about it. If you would go through the attached News article by Mr Ansar Abbasi, you would find in the last lines without any reference Mr Abbasi vomit his ignorance by repeating a phrase which is in vogue since centuries in the name of Hadith.

If Ansar Abbasi dont like PPP, Zardari, MQM, Altaf Hussain then it is Mr Abbasi's Basic Democratic Right [Mr Abbasi there is concept of Secular Democracy in your much exploited Religion Islam] to differ and dissent but there is no need to exploit Islam for this. Keep the Religion particularly Islam out of Politics because you wont have positive results

"QUOTE"

Ikhtilaf Rai to Hamaray Deen Ka Hissa Hey"

"UNQUOTE"

Translation: Difference of Opinion is an essential part of Islam Yaani "Ikhtalaf-e-Ummat Bais-e-Rehmat Hai"

Ahl ul Bidah [Innovators - Bida'ati] quote this statement as a hadith, but it is not mentioned in the six authentic collections of Hadith and its chain of narrators is also not known. There are various versions of this statement. In some versions it is mentioned, "The difference of opinions among my Companions is a mercy for you." Or "The difference of opinions of my Companions is a mercy for my Ummah." Many scholars of Hadith consider all these versions as weak or da'if as far as their narration is concerned. "The saying "Difference of opinion in my Community is a mercy" is the most perverse saying possible, because if difference were mercy, agreement would be anger, and it is impossible for a Muslim to say this, because there can only be either agreement, or difference, and there can only be either mercy, or anger."


أَفَلاَ يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ غَيْرِ اللّهِ لَوَجَدُواْ فِيهِ اخْتِلاَفًا كَثِيرًا

[AN-NISA (WOMEN) Chapter 4 - Verse 82]


Afala yatadabbaroona alqurana walaw kana min AAindi ghayri Allahilawajadoo feehi ikhtilafan katheeran

Interpretation of the meaning:

Will they not then ponder on the Qur'an? If it had been from other than Allah they would have found therein much incongruity. [AN-NISA (WOMEN) Chapter 4 - Verse 82]

Sectarianism is negation of Islam, Quran and Hadith.

True Muslims should be content with the name "Muslims given to them by Almighty Allah as He says:


وَجَاهِدُوا فِي اللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِ هُوَ اجْتَبَاكُمْ وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ مِنْ حَرَجٍ مِّلَّةَ أَبِيكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ هُوَ سَمَّاكُمُ الْمُسْلِمينَ مِن قَبْلُ وَفِي هَذَا لِيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ شَهِيدًا عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاء عَلَى النَّاسِ فَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِاللَّهِ هُوَ مَوْلَاكُمْ فَنِعْمَ الْمَوْلَى وَنِعْمَ النَّصِيرُ

And strive for Allah with the endeavour which is His right. He hath chosen you and hath not laid upon you in religion any hardship; the faith of your father Abraham (is yours). He hath named you Muslims of old time and in this (Scripture), that the messenger may be a witness against you, and that ye may be witnesses against mankind. So establish worship, pay the poor-due, and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protecting friend. A blessed Patron and a blessed Helper! [AL-HAJJ (THE PILGRIMAGE) Chapter 22 - Verse 78]

English Translation:

Say: He is able to send punishment upon you from above you or from beneath your feet, or to bewilder you with dissension and make you taste the tyranny one of another. See how We display the revelations so that they may understand. [AL-ANAAM (CATTLE, LIVESTOCK) Chapter 6 Verse 65]
