Say No to Firqa Wariyat by M Tahir Tabassum Durrani

Say No to فرقہ واریت

Rabi-ul Awwal is one of the most sacred month as Prophet Muhammadﷺ was born in this month, and with this blessing of this, that year people only got sons.

With this reference in this month muslims of Asia (in some countries) every year organize/celebrate Naat Khwani and Khutbas and in which they present tribute to Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ and make special duas for everyone.

I too luckily got a chance to be a guest of one of this Mahfil(sitting).

At the end all of us stood up in the respect of Our beloved prophet and present our Salam by reciting some verses with respect e.g Millions of blessing upon you Ya Ummati Ya ummati, these made me shocked. You will be definitely surprised that how these verses could make one surprised. Yes this is the question, when I considered these verses, the problems in my society came in front of my eyes and the condition of the whole nation(divided in groups)was in front of me. Why they/we do not recite it like Millions of blessing upon you Ya Wahabi Ya Wahabi (وہابی),  ya shia (شیعہ), ya daiu bandi (دیوبندی), or ya brailvi(بریلوی) etc we only say that ya Ummati Ya Ummati (یا امتی، یا  امتی) . Even on the day of judgement our beloved Prophet ﷺ will remembering of us as Ya Ummati Ya Ummati then only true Ummati will be happily going towards him. Then just think who will be the true Ummati? 

 That simply proves that we are one nation believing in one God and one book (Quran). We all know very well that all the blessings,  salamti is only for Umati then why this distribution/ religious Sectional. This distribution on the name of religion will never be acceptable in any case. We are one nation and need to follow only Quran and Suunah ﷺ in every matter. We should feel proud of being Ummati instead of going for other labels and tags. Secondly, this distribution is the only cause of raising social issues and breaks the peaceful environment. Our most of the social issues are just because of this unauthentic division. Solution is very simple and easy and that is “To hold Quran and Sunnah ﷺ” and be the leader of the nations.

Islam basically prohibits us from discrimination and hatred. Islam teaches us tolerance, morality and brotherhood. There are few pillars of Islamic State, if we follow them, then here and the Hereafter will automatically be set in the desired way. The pillar of Islamic state are life matters, income, morality, faith and amnesty.

In the Islamic society, the government is responsible for peace and security, and government has to play its role in raising peaceful environment for the public to build future. Government should ensure peace and prosperity in the society. Same goes for the each individual of the society to become a productive asset for the future generation, and play your role very positively and this is the only way that our society will be alright
