Being Imrana
Posted by smsabir Jul 15, 2005 09:51 am
Once a Mulla is always a Mulla.

Definition of a Mulla:

* Highly narrow minded
* Too hard headed to accept the true ideology of Islam and the teachings of the Prophet
* Illiterate if not academically then at least professionally
* Trained by nut heads like him and with a steel hard belief that he knows about every thing related to Quran, Hadees Mubarik and Fiqa.

Second definition- Someone who isn’t even a Jack but claims to be the Master of All.

Well like it or not but today Islam has become a toy for such Mulla people, people who are recreating Islam by making it look very difficult, horrible and unacceptable for many Muslims and non Muslims. Not only that but they are doing an awesome job to make millions of Non Muslims to laugh on us and on our religion.

After reading about Imrana’s case and the Fatwa, I felt embarrassed on being represented and leaded by such people who always walk over the true image of Islam.

But then it is also our own combine fault because we all have decided to walk away from our true identity and responsibilities towards Islam.

With all due respect for most of us Quran has become a necessary decoration piece in our home; authentic books of Hadees Mubarik have been replaced by the printed material related to politics, art, philosophy etc. books on Fiqa and Sharia – lets not talk about it.

So like it or not we are the creators of such Mulla Type Figures and Groups, we have left Islam on them and worrying about the other things which are definitely far less important as Islam but very crucial for our worldly rat race.

Today we all want that our kids go to best schools, do degrees related to business, IT, medical etc etc etc but how many of us want their kids to become well educated Islamic Scholars and become the true servants of Islam?

No reply?

Pin drop silence?

So with all due respect when we aren’t up for changing the whole scenario then why we are moaning and complaining?

Imrana’s case is a genuine proof that today we the Muslims desperately need a religious revolution – a revolution which can replace such Mulla Figurs with True Muslim Scholars, people who truly understand Islam and all areas of Islam.

I am sorry for being so blunt but it is good to be the no-nonsense type rather then swallowing chocolate coated poison and thinking saab acha hai.

May Allah bless and forgive us all.

Who Tarnished the Image of Pakistan?
Posted by smsabir Jul 15, 2005 08:39 am
A guy spent all of his life while praying and worshiping God so one day he thought about having something very materialistic but satisfactory for a change so he climbed a mountain and asked the God for power, the power to do any good or bad with out being answerable to any one, in reply there was silence.

He thought that he isn’t speaking loud so he yelled and requested God for the Power to do any good or bad, once again silence so the guy thought and this time really yelled with full force and requested God for Power – all of the sudden an angel came from the sky and asked the guy to come with him.

The angel took that person to the Devil and told him that this man desires for The Power.

Devil looked at the guy with a smile, handed him a Pakistani Passport and asked him that would you like to become the Military Dictator, Politician or a Religious Leader in Pakistan?




It is sad but very true that today our leaders and protectors have become the biggest abusers of power and authority.

We all can talk and argue about million things related to the posting “Who Tarnished the Image of Pakistan?” By Xari Jalil but such abusive way of thinking is a part of our heritage and culture.

Good Posting Xari Jalil.
