Islam's View on Overthrowing Governments

Maulana, agla sawal Miss Naghma Siddiqui ka hai Delhi se. unhon ne likha hai: "What is Islam's position on overthrowing of established governments as was done in Arab Spring ?" dekhiye, is mamle mein Islam ka nuqta nazar jo hai, woh pragmatism par mabni hai. pragmatism yaani practical wisdom par. kyunke dekhen, hukoomaton ko overthrow karna is se kabhi bhi koi faida nahi milta, sirf nuqsan hi pohanchta hai. is daur mein bar bar musalmanon ne aisa kiya hai, kisi hukoomat ko overthrow kiya, us ko ulta. lekin nateeja kya nikla? ek nayi tabahi, ek nayi tabahi, ek nayi tabahi.

is wajah se sahi tareeqa wahi jo hai jo Yusuf (AS) ne kiya tha ke hukoomat ko mante hue aap ne us ke tehat mawaqe ko istemal kiya. yeh sahi model hai. isi ko Quran mein kaha hai ke asal al-qasas. asal al-qasas ka matlab behtareen model, behtareen ma dal. isi liye mera nazariya is se jo bana hai, woh yeh hai ke Islam mein political status quoism hai, da'wah activism aur political status quoism. yaani peaceful da'wah ke liye aap amal karen ge, lekin jahan tak political power ki baat hai, wahan aap status quo ko maintain karen ge.

hazrat Yusuf ka jo usool tha, woh yahi hai. yaani political status quoism aur da'wah activism, yahi Islam hai. baqi jo log kar rahe hain kaam, woh Islam se koi is ka ta'alluq nahi hai. woh to sarakshi mein nazdeek hai. jo Muslim countries mein hukoomaton ko ultate palte hain, woh sarakshi karte hain. is ka islam se koi to nahin. islam ka naam le ke karen to is se islam nahin ban jayega. woh kyunke ek hadith yeh bhi hai, dekhiye ke rasool Allah ne farmaya tha ke baad ke zamane mein aisa hoga ke log sharab peene lagenge. to sahaba ne poocha ke aisa kaise karenge ke sharab piyenge? to aap ne farmaya ke baghair ism yuhalliluna, yaani is ka naam badal denge, naam badal ke is ko jaiz kar denge.

to sharab ka lafz wahan par alamaati hai, alamaati hai. yeh sab isi mein shamil hai. kar rahe hain ek ek sarkashi ka kaam, ek siyasat, yaani yaani ek ek siyasat bazi ka kaam, leadery ka kaam. lekin naam rakh rakha hai islam is ko, is ka naam hai islamization. yeh to hai baghair ism ya luna, is ka naam badal denge aur phir jaiz kar lenge. is ko yeh to shaitani siyasat hai. shaitan ne takra kiya tha Allah taala se, woh isi ki, isi wohi jari hai, wohi continue hai ab tak.

yaani establishment se takrana, yeh islam nahin hai. yeh yeh yeh secular parties hain, yeh secular parties hain. sab se pehli misaal qaim ki thi shaitan ne establishment se, yaani Allah taala se takraya tha. woh aaj tak wohi case case chala ja raha hai. saaf dekhen, seedhi si baat hai ke aap in logon ko jo yeh jo kar rahe hain, aap aap jaanchen in ko in terms of result. result to kuch bhi nahin mila. aap Imam Nawawi ki jo sharah hai, Muslim mein aap is ko padh lijie. mere paas woh kitab maujood hai. Imam Nawawi bahut bade aalim hain, woh hadith ki sharah karte hue likhte hain ke is hadith ka matlab

is mein likhte hain ke ek hukumat jo qaim hai, us ko hukumat ke khilaf baghavat, jis ko jis ko arab mein khurooj kaha jata hai, khurooj haram hai, haram hai bilkul. baqayda likhte hain aur ijma is par ijma hai. un ke alfaaz yeh hain ke agar aap ko ikhtilaf hai to person to person baat kijiye, yaani hakim se miliye, hakim mil ke us ko naseehat kijiye. person to person is mein lafz hai fima bain wa bainahu, fima bain wa bainahu ke matlab person to person baat karna.

phir kehte hain ke wa in khurooj alaihim wa haram bi ijma al muslimeen walaw kanoo fasaqah walaw kanoo zaleemeen. aur jahan tak taluq hai in ko overthrow karne ka, khurooj ka to haram hai ijma se. chahe aap ko fasiq nazar ayen, chahe woh aap ko aap ko zalim nazar ayen, tab bhi Imam Taymiyyah se poocha gaya ke aage sharab pi hai, tab bhi kya hum us ko yaani bardasht karen? to hum ne kaha wa in, tab bhi wa in. kyun? kyunke nateeja ulta nikalta hai hamesha. us ko arib kehte hain counter productive.

to islam be nateeja kaam ke khilaf hai. man hasana al islam marruhu tarqu ma la yani yeh islam ka nuqta nazar hai. molana, agla sawal Delhi se hai Ms. Toti Malhotra ka. unhon ne likha hai: "how important is it for a da'ee to be in peace with modern technology?" is ke bare mein batayen.
