Golden Mein: Muslims in Persia [Part 10]

Initially, Shybani (RA) started the Arab-Ajam (Arabic for non Arab) interaction on his own and Hazrat Khalid ibn Walid (RA) was sent by Caliph Hazrat Abu Bakr Sidiq [RA] to command and sustain the Persian campaign. Hazrat Musna (RA) had a geopolitical concept, hard to associate with the head of a Bahraini tribe, Al-Shybani, in those early years. He realized that rapid rise of Islam would entail a Persian reaction, which would be hard to counter unless the fight is taken to the Persians. The strategy virtually robbed the Persians of the room to think and plan.

Islamists vs Secularists

From Cairo to Dhaka ‘Islamists’ are emerging as potential challenge to the secular nationalist forces who fear getting marginalized and losing power. The well-entrenched army and judiciary, with ‘liberal’ orientation, are backing the latter at the cost of professional ethics, integrity of the institution and canons of justice. The ruling class seams scared of the growing influence of the Islamic groups and therefore have decided to sweep them out from the political firmament of the country.

Kashmir’s Accession to India is conditional

India has always claimed that the accession of the State of Jammu and Kashmir to India is absolute and legally unconditional, while the letters exchanged between India’s Governor-General Lord Mountbatten and the State’s Maharaja Hari Singh constitute a political Commitment. A document recently unearthed from the National Achieves of India puts things in perspective. Section 8 (2) of the Indian Independence Act, 1947 empowered the Governors-General of India and Pakistan to make orders to adapt the Government of India Act 1935 to serve as their interim constitution until their respective Constituent Assembly framed their Constitutions.

Why did Osama declare war on USA - Pt 1

This is an article written in response to a Question asked by an American citizen. The Question (posted online) reads:

    I’m an American, and I really don’t believe everything my government says. I was moved by the way the media dealt with the death of Osama bin Ladin. I thought he was hated by the Muslims because of his ways; at least, that’s what the officials told us in our country. I realized after his death that he was loved by most of you! I want to know exactly what Osama meant to you as Muslims. I want to know the truth from you, and not from the media, because I simply do not trust the media. Please be straightforward and honest. I really want to know the truth.

Why is West afraid of Islamic system?

The world has no problem with the customs and rituals of Muslim faith. In fact they would contribute lavishly to build Masjids, mausoleums and shrines as Israel did in Palestine. Their only problem is when Muslims says that sovereignty belongs to Allah only. They begin to conspire when Muslims say they want to be ruled as per the Shariah. First they ridicule its advocates branding them as malarkey who are hell bent to take the world back to ancient ages. Then all the forces unite against Muslims and say in unison that you cannot rule as per the shariah. What is the problem if Muslims want to live as per their system? If Muslims lived in Christian democracies, dictatorships, oligarchies what is the problem in implementing Shariah in their ownlands. Why are forces both in West and East against Shariah laws?
