CHRISTIAN
COUPLE DESERVED TO LIVE
Posted at: http://bit.ly/1pJ14Zm
A young Christian man
and his wife who had dreams of a fancy life like all human beings were burnt
alive in a brick kiln in Lahore near Kot Radha Kishan. Whatever the reason burning
a human being alive is a hideous and barbaric act. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has
forbidden it very clearly. According to
a hadith punishing someone with fire is only the right of Almighty Allah (swt).
This is not the first time that an act of violence against minorities has
happened in Pakistan. Earlier also there have been many such cases when Non-Muslims
have been ruthlessly killed. The responsibility does not lie with the killers
alone but the government, justice courts, political parties and media are also
responsible.
The ruling government is
primarily responsible for providing protection to all people whether they subscribe
to any religion. To conceal its failure, the government firstly condemns such
acts, and then declares intolerance and extremism as the major reasons for their
occurrence. Afterwards it orders an inquiry into the case and announces an amount
for the affected families. Then the government resumes silence till another
such barbaric act occurs in the society.
Justice courts are unable
to do anything concrete in spite of taking notice sometimes. Political parties condemn
such acts in very strong words but fail to take any practical step to stop
them. Media channels report such atrocities by blowing them out of proportions
at first and then invite some so-called intellectuals and analysts to discuss
the reasons for such acts and to find the solutions to eradicate them. Unfortunately,
the members of society still remain victim of intolerance and extremism because
instead of taking solutions from Islam, endless discussions erupt without
subscribing to the ultimate truth!
In the 1300 period of
Islam when Islamic Shariah remained implemented, such a horrific act with
Non-Muslims never happened. On the contrary, there was complete freedom for the
Non-Muslims to live their lives according to their faith and they were granted
full rights. But the current secular democratic governments not only in Pakistan
but the entire world are unable to provide security to the minorities because
only the system imparted by Allah (swt) is the solution to all issues. Only a
Khalifa can provide protection to the minorities by implementing Islamic
Shariah as he will know that he is accountable to Almighty Allah (swt) on
Judgment Day for everything.
Rasool Allah
(Sal-Allahu-Alaihi-Wa-Alaihi-Wassallam) said (the meaning of which is): “Anyone
who kills a ‘zimmi’ (A Non-Muslim who lives in a Muslim state and pays ‘jizya’)
will not even have access to the fragrance of Jannah though its fragrance can
come across from a distance of 40 years.” – (Al-Bukhari)
The meaning of another
hadith is: “Anyone who kills a ‘zimmi’, Almighty Allah will forbid Jannah for
him.” – (Sunan Abu-Dawood)
