Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Peace seen as weakness, respond aggressively?

“If you talk peace, people consider you weak and try to take advantage. Why should we Muslims let non-Muslims see us as weak? We are not weak, and we should respond aggressively, an eye for an eye.”Asked by Hameed Ansari, Kanpur

His answer, in his own words
47:40
some students have asked me to convey their salam to you. Jazakumullah. Maulana, agla sawal lena chahenge. yeh sawal bheja hai hameed ansari sahab ne kanpur se. Unhone likha hai: "maulana, if you talk peace, then people consider you weak, and they try to take advantage of you. why should we muslims let non muslims take us as weak? We are not weak, and we should give them response aggressively, and i for an i. Maulana, you should not talk about peace as time for peace is over."

bhai, dekhiye, aap jab islam ki boli bolte hain, islam ka ke aap wakeel banay hue hon, to aap jante hain ke "tak tofeeq amrain" hadith mein aata hai, us ne farmaya ke do basic cheezen chori hain, mein ne quran aur sunnat.
48:48
to koi bhi baat aap kahein to aap ko pehle sab se yeh karna parega ke quran aur sunnat pe reference batana parega, nahi to aap ki baat invalid ho jayegi. aap bahar se jo bol rahe hain, us se koi kuch sabit nahi, us se kuch kuch hota nahi. Aap ko kehna parega ke quran mein dekho, likha hai "nafs shariat al islam, hukm dawlat al islam". yeh kahan hai? Woh alfaaz kahan hain jo aap ko aap ke source ko saheeh batate hon? kahan hain woh? Woh lafzi nahi, saare quran mein kahin hain. Saare quran mein yeh hai: "aye logon, allah se daro!
49:33
aye logon, allah se mohabbat karo! Aye logon, allah ke ahkam ko follow karo! Aye logon, allah ke ko apna concern banao!" Yeh to koi hai hi nahi. Saare quran mein, hadith mein ke logon se political jhande chheno aur un ke takht chheno, iqtadar ki kurjiyan chheno aur hukumat qaim karo. yeh kahan hai? Bhai, iqtadar ki kurjiyan chheno, yeh kahan hai? Yeh to kisi writer ki insha bardari mein hai. iqtadar ki kurjiyan chheno, yeh writer ki insha bardari hai, yeh quran o hadith mein kahin nahi hai. Maulana, shakeel khan sahab ne gwalior se bheja hai question.

unhone likha hai: "maulana, i want, i want to say that i was into the same thinking of political interpretation, but after reading your books, i discovered the real islam. today, i am against my family and friends who are still living in the political mind set. Maulana, i want to know from you that will the problem of muslims all over the world will end if they give up on political interpretation of islam. is this the final solution to the present state of muslims?" Dekhiye, mein ya quran ya hadith kabhi yeh nahi kehte ke tumhara sara masla hal ho jayega. mein chahta hoon ke yeh jannat milegi, allah razi hoga. Aap sahaba kiram ki jamaat mein shamil honge, rasool allah ke saathi banenge.
51:15
yeh mein ne kab kaha ke masla hal ho jayega? Masla yaad rakhein, kabhi hal hone wala hi nahi hai. Yeh impossible hai ke dunya masail free ban jaye, woh ho hi nahi sakta, kyun ke masail na rahenge to challenge kahan rahega? Challenge to baqi rehna chahiye. To rasool allah ne ya islam ne kabhi yeh nahi kaha ke aye logon, meri baat mano to masail hal ho jayenge. yeh kahan hai? Yeh yeh to kisi ke banawati alfaaz hain. Nahi, allah razi hoga, jannat milegi, sahaba ki jamaaton ko hasil hogi, rasool allah ke saathi banoge. yeh kaha.

ah molana, ek sawal hamare zehn mein bhi aa raha hai, ah aur hum ne yeh khud direct experience bhi kiya hai jab aap ke sath travel kiya hai ya logon se interaction kiya hai ke aap hamesha se political interpretation ko aap demolish karte rahe hain. lekin aksar jo un ke followers hain, jin logon ne yeh political interpretation diya, un followers ka yeh hamesha accusation raha aap ki taraf ke aap un ke founders pe personal attack karte hain. jaise Maulana Abu Al-Ala Maududi ko agar lein to Jamaat-e-Islami ke log aksar yeh samajhte hain ke aap ka attack political interpretation nahi, un par hai. to is ko agar aap wazeh karein, Maulana, yeh jhoot hai, jhoot hai, jhoot hai. Meri mizaj mein bohat hi scientist, scientist mizaj ka aadmi hoon.
52:51
personal attack mein karta hi nahi, karta hi nahi, karta hi nahi. Aap koi bhi dikha dijiye, koi bhi tehreer, personal attack ka tareeqa hi nahi hai. mein ek scientist, scientific mind ka aadmi hoon. Yeh jhoot hai. Kon kon pesh kar sakta hai? Koi meri aisi tehreer jis mein personal attack maine kiya ho? mein nazariya, nazariye ka jo theory hai, us ka tajziya karta hoon, us ka analysis karta hoon. personal attack karna mere liye bilkul ahmaqana baat hai.
53:31
Maulana, to aap ka kya message rahega in sab logon ke liye, khaas kar Jamaat-e-Islami ke logon ke liye? Yahi message rahega ke tum Quran ka hawala do, hukm-e-doulat-e-Islam kahan hai? hukm-e-doulat-e-Islam kahan hai? Jahan bhi hai ke pervi karo Allah ke ahkam ki, yeh pervi karo, nizam qaim karo, yeh kahin hai hi nahi. yeh jhoot mere upar lagate hain ke mein attack karta hoon, attack maine kabhi kiya hi nahi, mera tareeqa nahi attack karna, personal attack karna. Maulana, agla sawal Sajid Anwar Sahab ka hai Delhi se. Unhone aap se poocha hai ke "how to develop rational thinking" is ke bare mein bataein.
