Re: Quran se Doori ke Asbab by Dr Israr Ahmed (قرآن سے دوری کے اسباب - ڈاکٹر اسرار )
Quran Pak is the text book ( Compulsory ) for all Muslim,
But we dont have time for this book.
We send our kids to best schools , American schools and best university, but we do not want to spend their time on Quran learning just for one year.
and we see that out kids waste lots of years in their live , wandering confused, but we dont understand, what is lacking.
Dear Raaz, why people do not study the quran is because the way it has been interpreteed by masses of so called scholars. It made it look purposeless and a boring book.
To make people study the quran is to give them some good reason to do so. People never do anything in which they find nothing interesting or purposeful for themselves and others.
This clearly proves the point in videos dr israar is making. Each time some one tried to make the quran relevant there follows him a line of mullahs with fatwas. So people rather get on with life than get into trouble by saying something that people do not like.
You can see what is happening to many scholars who do not agree with masses of typical mullahs. They try to drive them out of the country or even out of this world and when you drive people who think out of the country then how do you expect to develop the country and people?
It is time we put mad mullahs out of business if we really want people to know what the quran really is about.
The quran is all about establishing a way of life here in this world that ensures freedom, justice, fairness, compassion, peace, progres and prosperity of mankind in the name of Allah in hope of better hereafter. This is complete framwork of islam.
Allah has foretold that this system will come about no matter what. My view is that it will not be bought about by mullahs who only know the quran and the hadith nor by those who claim to be promoters of human rights or humanism and are scientists experimenting with all sorts of ides about everything. The people who will bring about this will have to be those who can bring both sides together. Because the quran cannot be understand properly by anyone unles a person also is aware of what it is talking about as regard real world. Likewise no matter how much we study the world it will not lead us to ultimate truth about it. This show that our study of islam and the world in isolation from each other is not going to produce the result we need and doing so is therefore purposeless.
This is why we must change our courses towards merger and this cannot be acheived without pulling together scholars of both sides. This means we must oppose every fatwa baaz mullahs who is quick with his pen and paper so that muslims have the freedom to express their views about the quran openly and freely regardless mulahs like them or not. Discussions and debates bring things to life. Silence is city of the dead.
So if you want people to learn quran then get them freedom to do so because a subject that is taboo to discuss why would any one waste his time to learn it?
We have this forum because people like to discuss things if they were not allowed the discussion, we will have no need for the forum. Likewise if we need islam then we must discuss it and anyone who opposes it must be isolated because supporting that person means we are helping to kill off islam. So the main blame lies not with those who do not study the quran but with those who do not let them. Because acording to them you either do things as they tell you or you are not allowed to do them.
We only need to see how sunnies, shias, deobandies, brelavies, ahlal hadith etc etc treat each other. We talk about dr israr look at how brelavies treated dr tahir alqadri. Anyone who talks sense is a target. Even those who are targetted themselves do the same some in case of others to make the matters worse.
So we need to change mindsets and attitudes of all of us for the better if we are going to go anywhere that is worth it.
regards and all the best.
