Ideology of enmity based on nation

“My brother's ideology was that whoever is an enemy of my nation is my enemy, and he used to do all actions for that. He mentioned a hadith that if one limb is in pain, the whole body feels it. What is your opinion?”Asked by Iqbal Umari, Chennai

His answer, in his own words

maulana yeh agla sawal aya hai maulana iqbal umri ka chennai se. yeh likhte hain ek sahab ke bhai jail mein hain. main ne un se poocha kya karte the? unhon ne kaha mere bhai ka nazariya tha ke jo meri qom ka dushman hai woh mera dushman hai. isi ke liye sari harkatein karte the. unhon ne ek hadees ka zikr kiya ke agar ek uzv ko takleef hoti hai to sara badan mehsoos karta hai. maulana kya is hadees mein qomiyat ki bhi daleel hai? hargiz nahi. is hadees mein qomiyat dil yeh to ek akhlaqi yeh hadees to akhlaqi maani mein hai.

yeh qomi ma'ni mein nahi hai. dushman ke mu'amle ko agar samajhna hai aap ko to quran ki ek ayat se aap is ko samjhein ke laa hasanatun waladzi bainakum kaanum adaa watun kaana waliyuhum hameem. yani dushman ko dost banane ka formula bataya quran mein. dushman se nafrat karne ka formula nahi hai. yeh nahi ke dushman se nafrat karo, dushman ko maro, dushman ke khilaaf harkatein karo, dushman ko zaleel karo. yeh nahi hai formula. dushman ke saath acha sulook karo.

dushman ko tablegh karo. dushman ko dawat do. dushman se discussion karo. yahan tak ke woh tumhara dost ban jayega. isko to yeh to bohat bari baat quran mein hai ke har dushman aap ka potential friend hai. yani your enemy is your potential friend. so turn this potential into actual. to unhon ne jo nazariya banaya hai is ka ta'alluq islam se kuch bhi nahi tha. hata ke qomiyat se bhi woh nahi hai. woh to aam woh to bilkul nadani ki baat hai. qomiyat bhi dekhiye reason par qaim hoti hai.
1:02:17
reason par. woh reason ke bhi khilaaf hai. lad kar aap kisi masle ko hal nahi kar sakte. kisi community ko aap dushman bana bana lein. is se masla hal nahi hota hai. sahi tareeqa yahi hai ke aap dushman se acha sulook karein. dushman se discussion karein. yani dushmani ko diffuse karne ki koshish karein. ladna kisi masle ka hal nahi hai. kabhi bhi nahi. kabhi duniya mein aisa nahi hai ke ke lad bher kar kisi ne masle ko hal kiya ho. na pehle hua hai na aaj aaj ho sakta hai.

maulana yeh agla sawal aaya hai doctor muslima siddiqui ka dehli se. according to the quran if we adopt taqwa no amount of plot can harm us.
