Loss of Ummah - Is Agriculture the culprit?
Posted by mahfari Oct 25, 2009 10:29 pm
Re: # 36 Dear Tehsin,

The point was that Ummah is not restricted to Muslims only and it is a political statement. It depends upon common objectives and goals and it is not aimed to divide human beings.


As to praising Socrates' ideas of justice, from where did these ideas came? Please respond.

As to equating ideas of justice in Islam with traditions and other prevalent ideas , it shows the inability to know, understand and keep the Islamic legal tradition in its perspective and context.

From where does the individuality of women comes into law? Any idea?

How the International Private and Public law was codified and its roots?


Judges are not surgeons...ask any practicing judge! They are interpreters and ADAL is keeping things at their original and true place when involved in conflict or ambiguity. This is one definition.... Other than Greece people could also think!


As to confused and hatred statements about an era shows the biased approach , as you answer depicts.

I remeebr Ibn-e Khaldun... never judge past from present standards.Understand its standards then make a sense.


Facts are sacred and opinion is free, but opinion based upon wrong facts is most dangerous.........how many works of Legal though have you gone through personally?

Name any 5........oh too much.......let it be two only ...original works..

Can you? If yes then let us learn and discuss more and if not , then do,nt do injustice without reading the basic texts and hearsay is not truth.

Still waiting Dr Faraz's response.

This is a document from Muhammad the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), governing relations between the Believers i.e. Muslims of Quraysh and Yathrib and those who followed them and worked hard with them. They form one nation -- Ummah.

Dear Ummah is not only Muslims as the second article of Mithaq shows, all the people who agree on collective welfare of a society irrespective of religious beliefs are Ummah.

Present day jahil biased (ignorant Mullahs and their jahil biased opponents are extremists of the same sort who fail to understand the true factual position.


As to Makkah and Medina being agricultural society, it is so ridiculous that what to say about it. Please read the economic and social history of the times. I just quote that one of reasons of wars between Non.Muslims and Muslims in earlier times was for routes of trade.

Trade was in blood of those Medina and at lesser level in Makkah as Makkah was more of a bureaucratic and government and religious center of Arabia.


Ghazwa was not any tradition in Islam it means the wars in which physically Holy Prophet peace be upon him participated and read modern law of Warfare where property of vanquished is still treated as legitimate of conqueror. Remember Treaty of Versailles?

Present US wars need no mention. Facts are sacred and opinion is free.

And all human activities are not measured by economic modes alone. The life is more complex. If the fallacies of basic thesis of this article are clear then we can proceed further, if not .........then let us think more and exchange ideas.

Truth is never biased and we need to study Islam's place in human civilization in an objective manner , whether positive or negative.

Concept of Ummah is the most confused idea and perhaps least understood.

Dear Faraz Sahib did you see the Mithaq-E Medina's text?

Please answer then we can proceed further.

Why not raise voice declaring extra-marital affairs illegal? and yes also imprison its practitioners.

Dear Ajeya, we are always against killing innocent people, htis phase is temporary and it will pass and it is not mere killings or deaths. It is Pakistan's Mahabharta.....although Arjuns are not ready to play their role. Time will come and we have Gurus , who ask sacrifices from Ekelavayas, we are waiting but things will improve.

This fire is not restricted to Pakistan only, please do think why has IPL been shifted to South Africa?


Truth is truth, it has no boundaries, purpose is to understand truth not to fall for parochial thinking.

Thanks for your sharing my grief.
