Confusion about prophets working against evils

“A person said that the invitation to Tawheed and the Hereafter is not just invitation because the prophets also worked against the evils of their time, like Shu'aib (AS) and Lut (AS). What is the confusion in this? Please clarify.”Asked by مولانا اقبال عمری, چنئی

Maulana, agla sawal Chennai se hai Maulana Iqbal Umri ka aur unhon ne likha hai: "Maulana, ek sahab ne kaha ke tauheed aur akhirat ki dawat sirf dawat nahin hai kyunke anbiya waqt ki buraiyon ke khilaf bhi kaam karte the jaise Suhaib (AS) aur Lut (AS). Maulana, is mein jo mughalta hai woh kya hai? Is ko wazeh karen." Mughalta dekhen yeh hai ke Quran mein jin ayaton ko kaha gaya hai. kehne ke mani mein is ko le len, ladne ke mani mein yeh mughalta hai. Yaani Quran mein kaha gaya hai ke sachai, sach bolo to is ka matlab kya liya hai ke sach ka nizam qaim karo. to ab nizam jab qaim karenge to koi wahan baitha hua hai, occupier to aap is ko incite karen, is se laren, is ko deter karen.

to yeh hai lazim ko mutaddi bana dena. Yeh is qism ke jitne log hain woh sab ne bohat hi bara ek crime kar rakha hai, crime ke Quran mein jo ayaten lazim ke sighay mein hain us ko unhon ne mutaddi ke sighay mein bana diya hai. is ki ek misaal bhi deta hoon aap ko ke 'a'dilu' Quran mein hai. 'a'dilu' ke mani hote hain insaaf ko follow karo. 'a'dilu' ke mani hote hain insaaf ko follow karo. Is ko kya bana liya? Insaaf ko implement karo, Islam ko establish karo. Woh insaaf ko, insaaf ka nizam qaim karo jaise Misr mein yeh to ho raha hai. unhon ne party banai aur yeh is mein kaha ke humein insaaf ko Misr mein qaim karna hai.

ab lad gaye is ke liye. Agar yeh ahl-e-khawariz Muslimon is ko lete hain is mani mein ke humein insaaf ko follow karna hai to koi ladai nahin. kaun ladega aap se bhai? Aap sach boliye to koi ladai nahin. Insaaf ke sath dealing kijiye to koi ladai nahin. Achhi tul kijiye to koi ladai nahin. lekin jab aap kahenge ke mujhe achhi tul tulwana hai, logon ko maar maar ke karna hai ke woh achhi tul tolen, galat tul na tolen to zahir hai ladai hogi wahan par. to yeh bilkul mere nazdeek yaani criminal right hai, criminal right hai ke lazim ke sighon ko aap mutaddi bana den aur kahen ke humein to yaani yeh naafiz karna hai.

yaani itteba ke ayat ko difa ke mani mein le len. Sab ne yahi kar rakha hai. Jitne bhi chahe yaani Arab ka ahl-e-khawariz Muslimon ho ya Pakistan ka Jamaat-e-Islami ho, unhon ne yahi kar rakha hai ke itteba ke ayat ko nafaz ki ayat bana diya hai. yeh to sab se buri shakal hai yaani tafseer baraye ki. Yaani tafseer baraye ek buri cheez samjhati hai. to is ki sab se buri shakal yeh hai ke aap itteba ke ayaton ko nafaz ki ayat bana den. Aap gehrai se mutala kijiye to sab ne yahi kar rakha hai ke itteba ke ayaton ko nafaz ki ayat bana rakha hai. isi se saaray jhagray paida hotay hain.
