Third question which is of a major concern: Whenever the Ulama-e-Haqq raise their voice appealing to Muslims to avoid emulating the customs of other r

Answer

As mentioned in the previous answer, the Ulama in Bangladesh should not adopt a confrontational stance. The reaction of the western-educated

juhala such as the editor of the newspaper being kaafir at heart, will obviously label every teaching of Islam which refutes kufr and shirk to be 'hate speech' and 'incitement'.

Everything of Islam is 'hate speech and incitement' for these human devils. Regarding them, the Qur'aan Majeed states:

"Verily hatred has gushed forth from their mouths (for you, O Believers!). But what their breasts conceal is worse". The robust stance adopted by Hefazat-e-Islam at the public rally outside Baitul Mukarram Musjid was deliberately and wrongly interpreted by the stupid editor as being 'incitement and hate speech'. Public demonstrations by practising Muslims, especially in an anti-Islam state such as Bangladesh will be deliberately and conveniently proclaimed to be 'hate speech' in order to further suppress the Deen and the people of the Deen.

Sometimes discretion is the better part of valour. On the battlefield of Jihad, the need to display valour is imperative. But in the environment in which ordinary Muslims find themselves under the yoke of oppressors who cherish inveterate hatred for Islam and orthodox Muslims, there is a need to adopt greater intelligence and to keep in mind the long term benefits of Sabr. Ponder over the humiliating conditions of the Treaty of Hudaibiyyah accepted by R a s u l u l l a h ( S a l l a l l a h u a l a y h i wasallam), and which Allah Ta'ala describes in the Q u r ' a a n Majeed as "A manifest victory". The Ulama should consider long term planning for the Imaani interests of the masses whose attachment with Islam dangles on a flimsy thread, and in innumerable cases involving tens of millions of Bangladeshis,

Imaan has already been extinguished.

These kuffaar secularists masquerading as 'Muslims' deem every teaching of Islam

publicly stated

by the Ulama to

be an imposition on the population. The implication is quite clear. Islam must be banned. Nothing of Islam should be publicly aired. Stating that idolatry is haraam; zina is haraam; same sex marriages are haraam; homosexuality is haraam; prostitution is haraam; liquor is haraam; adopting the practices of the mushrikeen is haraam, etc., etc. – all of these tenets of Islam if stated in public are regarded by the pro-Hindu so-called secularists as impositions on the population. But the injustices and oppression, the denial of freedom of religion, that is freedom for the Islamic Deen, and the imposition by the kuffaar government of corrupt, haraam and kuffaar concepts on Muslims are not regarded as unjust impositions on the genuine Muslim population. Only Islamic teaching is assailed and branded as imposition on the people. Yet, the Ulama are not imposing on anyone. They are merely stating what Allah Ta'ala and His Rasool (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) had proclaimed. The Ulama in Bangladesh and anywhere else do not possess the coercive power to impose the Deen on the population. They only state the Message of Islam as command-

ed by Allah

Ta'ala. In this

regard the

Qur'aan states:

"Upon us is only

to deliver the

Clear Message."
