Why I think Islamist should also participate in the field of political struggle.

One of a very good blogger Mr. Omer wrote something about the JI/JUI the political struggle which is being done by religious political parties and raised some questions which I tihnk needed to clarifies, because of we will not accept each other there will be formed more groups within groups among us and thus what I wrote the clarification is as follows, you can also read his blog:


I think by the above article first thing I noticed that what the author thinks is that JI is not doing what TJ and TI doing, the dars the dawat o tabligh JI is not absent from that field but politics is an additional job JI is doing, if you will minus elections fro JI it equals to TI. Talking of Ulema e Karaam, you gave the example of Imam Hanbal, he did not bent for what he though is correct, the same thing we are doing for "what we think is correct" this is not the following of western system, and it must be clarified that just like all other fields of life politics have e big impact on the lives of people and this field can not be remained empty or else, we will see a secular environment very soon. So Islamist should be involved in every field, if you think we are only into politics you are wrong.

In the 7th para, you showed a picture of "what if" wine allowed by parliament, I ask you what if Islamist not in the parliament then wine will be allowed without any hurdle, then who will be responsible? At least in that case we can stand up in the parliament and protest, and access to other parliamentarians and convince them on the issue.

Every one has their own strategies to work, for those people who think politics is the only way JI is there to guide, for those who think politics not the right way TI is there to guide and for those who think neither the two (JI TI) can help there is always TJ to guide. And for those who think every one is wrong there is always HT. All of them the objective is same is how to make our lives follow the same way Holy Prophet had followed.

Words like "religious political parties should leave politics" are harsh and they will result in the comment from religious political parties that "why dont you leave your areas of work and join religious political parties" OR "why dont Jihadis all over the world leave jihad and start mass movement, etc".

The need of the time is to accept each other and to collaborate with each other, bring people closer to Islam and its principles. May Allah Guide Us.

Election in Karachi 2013

It was a quite morning in Karachi 11 May 2013, election day the media was chanting people to come out of their homes and vote, but outside the situation was totally different: On the same day I get out of my home and voted for my party but I feel extreme fear becasue the whole city was shut and very few people were outside there homes, this was strange as this situation will certainly will make a very worse condition for that person who is going out to the polling with a positive mind. 

But despite that the condition of the city was favorable for criminal minds and those who are trying to win the elections by unfair means, but this situation is not advisable for positive people. 

Polling started and there are many areas like NA-253 and NA-250 where polling was not started after 3 to 4 hours have been passed this was reported by media. At NA-253, the polling agents were harrased at the Govt. Income Tax building where the Namaloom Afrad were wandering with their party badges on their shirts (which were not allowed already), it has been also reported that many people other than polling agents were inducted into the polling station to carry out their illegal activities. 

Army personnel were missing from the scene, however in some areas army was deployed but at many polling station army as well as no rangers person was present. 

Addressing a press conference in Karachi, JI ameer Munawar Hassan alleged that massive rigging was taking place in the two cities.

The party also announced of staging a sit-in (dharna) outside the office of the Election Commission’s at 5pm the election day.

“Rigging is taking place at every polling station,” said a party leader, adding that a Jamat Islami worker Rao Mujahid was kidnapped around two hours ago from NA-256 constituency and still remains missing. “Three other boys were beaten up and injured,” 

The JI chief held the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) responsible for all alleged rigging taking place in the two cities. “All those forces who backed the MQM did not do Pakistan a favour. They dug a grave against Pakistan and democracy,” he said.

“We want to tell those forces: don’t take side with terrorists only for a few votes,” he added.

Jamat Islami also announed a strike on May 13 2013 in protest of the rigging which was done in Karachi.
