Nationalism in light of Islamic teachings

molana, agla sawal hai shahnawaz zafar sahib ka dilli se. unhon ne aap se poocha hai: "Please guide about nationalism in the light of Islamic teachings. Is nationalism shirk in Islam?" hargiz nahi, yeh sab jhooti baatein hain. jin logon ne aisi kitabein likhi hain jis mein nationalism ko shirk bataya hai, un ko farz tha ke woh na bolen. woh yeh woh log hain, mein janta hoon kaun log hain. yeh nationalism ko shirk bataya, democracy ko qanoon Islamic bataya, secularism ko qanoon Islamic bataya. inhi logon ne yeh sab kiya hai ke har aadmi ko nafrat mein mubtala kar diya hai.

aaj kal saare musalman jo hain, nafrat karte hain western world se, doosri qomon se, kyunke woh samajhte hain ke yeh to taghoot hai, yeh to secular log hain, yeh to falan log hain. to yeh is tarah ki jo kitabein jinhon ne likhi hain, mein to samajhta hoon ke unhon ne unhon ne ek aisa kaam kiya jis ke unhein right nahi tha ke baghair jaane yeh bol rahe hain, baghair jaane kitabein likh rahe hain. to nationalism ghair Islami nahi hai, secularism ghair Islami nahi hai, democracy ghair Islami nahi hai. yeh sab baatein jo log kehte hain, woh woh na to Islam ko jante hain, na nationalism aur secularism ko jante hain.

woh dono se bekhabar hain. woh agar aap ko tafseel janna hai in baaton ki to hum, hamari meri kitabon mein tafseel maujood hai, aap us ko padh lijie. molana, agla sawal dilli se hai miss naghma siddiqui ka. unhon ne likha hai: "Maulana, in this world we are helpless, but still we often live in our own glory.
