Is Partition in Islam's Name Wrong?

“Moulana, just for gaining knowledge, if I want to know whether partition of a country in the name of Islam is wrong, then how is it possible to increase the believers of Islam? Because as people accept the Islamic faith, their population will demand partition, as other believers would not like the faith and style of Islam. What is your comment?”Asked by Shahab Haider, Delhi

maulana, agla sawal dilli se hai shahab haider sahab ka, aur unhon ne likha hai: "maulana, just for gaining knowledge, if i want to know that if partition of a country in the name of islam is wrong, then how it is it possible to increase the believers of islam ? because as people accept islamic faith, their population will demand for partition, as other believers would not like the faith and style of islam. what is your comment?" dekhiye, yeh logic aap ki sahi nahi hai. basic baat yeh aap mujhe bataiye ke partition quran o hadith mein kahan likha hua hai? rasool Allah ne kaha makkah bare mein kaha ke makkah mujhe partition kar ke adha hissa do, mujhe mein madine nahi jaunga. jab makkah walon ne pareshan kiya, aap madine chale gaye to aap kehte hain ke mujhe madina nahi jana, mujhe ek hissa partition kar ke do makkah ka, mein yahan rahunga, mera watan hai yeh.

to partition ka concept pehle quran o hadith mein nikaliye, phir is par baatein kahiye. yeh sab logic jo aap ki hai, bilkul irrelevant hai. sab se pehla kaam yeh hai ke jo aadmi partition ko sahi samajhta hai, woh mujhe bataye ke quran o hadith mein kahan hai partition concept? woh to hai hi nahi. bilkul yeh yani ajnabi hai yeh tasawwur quran o hadith mein.

mein ne bar bar parha hai quran o hadith ko, sunnat rasool ko, mujhe to kahin mila nahi. kisi ko mila hai to mujhe bataye, woh kahan woh ayat hai, kahan woh hadith hai jahan partition ka tasawwur maujood hai? islam yeh hai ke aap sare insano ko ek samjhein, sari dunya ko Allah ka banda samjhein, aur sab ko yeksan darje mein sab se mohabbat karein. sab yeksan darje mein sab ke khair khwahon, aur ek hi cheez aap ka nishana hona chahiye, woh hai Allah ke bhagaon ko bachana. bas aur koi nishana nahi. maulana, agla sawal doctor muslema siddiqui ka hai dilli se, aur unhon ne likha hai ke: "muslims negativity against the west has gone beyond limit.
