ROAD MAP and ACTION PLAN for effort of ITTEHAD-E-UMMAT AND MUSLIMS UNIFICATION (Atleast decreasing the gap/ hatred between different muslim groups/organization)
To draw attention of Muslim Intellectual/to start a thinking and approach for following quranic and Islamic principle while dealing in the matter of difference of opinion/ criticising (doing nahi anilmunkar ) of other group/person. So criticism should be in the form of Nahi Anil Munkar, not for strenthing our self created groups.
Very good books/lectures are already there. To propagate them. Some concise articles are needed with direct command from Quran and Hadith. The much stressed oncept of Ikrame Muslim (Rights of muslim,Recounciling differences among muslims, Warning against harming muslim) has to be revived, by educating direct command from Quran and Hadith
Obviously some of these differences are natural and inevitable but that too are also being misprojected/being increased in magnitude for strenthing groupism/to let down others.
Everyone name so many groups among muslims
But if you ponder on the differences between these so called groups, they will fall under some common categories. The ideological and personal differences move around certain common points.
After a discussion among colleague and studying different view points we have identified following common points in religious controversies.
If we could educate the ummah on following issues most of the hatred/ groupism will decrease.
Major point of infighting/contention among ulemas and scholars of different groups who write secterian writing/refutation of other mainstream islamic group Obviously in the name of Nahi Anil munkar.But normally they donot follow Islamic teaching while doing this.And because of their wrong approach instead of achieving goal of Nahi Anil Munkar they result in
1. Retaliatory writing / polemic type of debate
2. Opponent group collect evidence for their wrong position
3. At times it leave no scope of reconciliation.
Action plan for Scholars
For these like minded people are required with the perspective of educating ummat.
For this we have started with a small blog http://ittehadummat.blogspot.com/
If you are agreed for the cause that something should be done for decreasing gap between muslim groups. We donot need any financial help right now.
JAZAKALLAH O KHAIR
Aim will be to
1. TO decrease the gap/hatred between muslim ummah that is divided in groups and subgroups/ideologies and subideologies
2 Educate the general people about basis of differences in a positive and unbiased manner. If they will know the basis of differences,obviously no one will be able to misinform and misproject about differences.
3 If they will know the reality,No one will be able to increase the magnitude/quantity/and quality of differences. And resulting hatred and jealousy will decrease.
The next points is specific for Ulema e Karam/scholars/book and article writer/speakers/blogger/Islamic forums/active members of different groups.
4. While criticising other group/person we generally exceed the limits prescribed by Quran and Ahadith of Huzur Pak Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and way of Salfussalihin. We even take the help of false accusation / lies/ misprojection/ concealing truth to degrade or make other group down, or to put in bad light.
So we want to
The effort to achive is of two types.
1. Propagating the importance of ittehad.Very good books/lectures are already there. To propagate them. Some concise articles are needed with direct command from Quran and Hadith. The much stressed oncept of Ikrame Muslim (Rights of muslim,Recounciling differences among muslims, Warning against harming muslim) has to be revived, by educating direct command from Quran and Hadith
2. To decrease the causes of disunity (specially hatred and jealousy type of disunity). Points to ponder
A .Identifying common factors for this hatred and jealousy
B Asserting the legal and rational status of these factor in Islam.
C Trying to search a solution.
But if you ponder on the differences between these so called groups, they will fall under some common categories. The ideological and personal differences move around certain common points.
After a discussion among colleague and studying different view points we have identified following common points in religious controversies.
If we could educate the ummah on following issues most of the hatred/ groupism will decrease.
These four Points are related with general muslim understanding.(Non Alim /Scholar)
1. Basis of Fiqh differences.
2.Why fiqh/following imam is advocated by some scholars for common man.What is position of those who say there is no need of Imam
3. Basis of Aqeeda differences, why school of aqeeda was formed? and ,How it came in Second hundred hijri.Educating people the background (history of deviated groups like Muatazella etc) and therefore School of Aqeeda was created out of necessity and not out of fun.And in principle the mainstream aqeeda school namely Ashari/ Maturidi/ Athari(Salafi) has minor difference .And the main difference is in the way of dealing with deviated groups in Aqeeda.
4. Tasawwuf reality /legal status / present scenario /and misprojection about Tasawwuf. (according to Talal mansur centre document on 500 most influential muslims, 25 % muslims are have some degree of attachment with it someway or the other. so we cannot leave it).
Points related with Ulemas/Scholars /book and article writer/speakers/blogger/Islamic forums/active members of different groups.
1. Retaliatory writing / polemic type of debate
2. Opponent group collect evidence for their wrong position
3. At times it leave no scope of reconciliation.
Action plan for Scholars
1. To draw attention of Muslim Intellectual/to start a thinking and approach for following quranic and Islamic principle while dealing in the matter of difference of opinion/ criticising (doing nahi anilmunkar ) of other group/person. So criticism should be in the form of Nahi Anil Munkar, not for strenthing our self created groups
2. .Linking of the issues together while criticising (DOING nahi anilmunkar ) any person/organisation/movement should be legally according to quran and Ahadith
3. While writing against other group requirement of doing on the ground research instead of relying on the version of opponent group,or having superficial knowledge. Its necessity /legal status according to verse of Quran e pak/Ahadeeth.
4. Legal limits of branding anyone Bidati/outside of ahle sunnat wal jamaat (Sunni)/ or in rare case as kafir. and too extremely kufr of association.
5. ANY Other point ..................................................................................
