You described the Pakistani judiciary as a 'modernist judiciary'.

Question

You described the Pakistani judiciary as a 'modernist judiciary'. What do you mean by that? Our justices are sincere Muslims. Are you trying to malign them?

Answer

We do not know what your definition of 'malign' is. If a spade is called a spade, it will not be said that the spade is being maligned. The term 'modernist' is a mild epithet for the 'Muslim' judges operating in a secular court. Whilst we have labelled the judges in the courts of Napakistan 'modernist', the Qur'aan Majeed says about them: "Those who do not decree according to that (Shariah) which Allah has revealed, verily they are kaafiroon." 'Modernist' in this context means 'kaafiroon' because secular judges do not decide cases in accordance with the Shariah. The issue is not related to sincerity. It is a simple issue of the judges deciding in terms of kufr law. They dispense 'justice' according to man-made laws, not according to the Law of Allah Ta'ala, hence the Qur'aan excommunicates them from the fold of Islam.
