Conundrum: Caliphate & Killing Spree!

The brief is not a sermon, but an informal pathological analysis of some sick people of the Muslim society and its Ullema (Scholars /intellectuals). The Easter tragedy on 21st April 2019 reached the all inhabited parts of the planet earth very quickly and made mentally healthy humans sad. The sad news has also reached the astronauts in the space station, who work very hard to do some good things for the same humans. I’m pretty sure if any one of these space scientists (Ullema) is a believer, he would have said “thank God”, these guys cannot reach us. Before I take you further to the Caliphate and Ullema saga, I would like to confess first.

I’m a practising Muslim: believing in one God, uttering the word of that belief and put that utterance into action in day to day life: the keeping of five obligatory daily worships with extra worships to gain more rewards (mental satisfaction); observing the fast in the month of Ramadan, with extr-a fast whenever I feel the need for a mental boost ( that is the reason my younger sister calls me fasting champion of the family from childhood); paying compulsory alms tax during the month of Ramadan ( our lunar based Islamic calendar goes 11 days ahead of the Solar based calendar every year) and voluntary charity whenever possible ,( with an extra voluntary small monthly contribution to local mosque for them to make their ends meet) and pilgrimage to Mecca on Hajj . So this is 25% of Islam, the rituals. Then what is the remaining 75% of Islam, establishing the “Caliphate”?, an interesting question emerges

The remaining 75% of Islam is what you all do, the other religious people, atheists, agonistics, humanists and the list goes on and on. So do I. I’m more than satisfied that I’m a committed Muslim.

Very recently I watched a university gathering of Muslim students (male/female) in the UK. The session was arranged for two speeches, Q&A by UK Ullema. The topic, guess what? “Caliphate”. The respected Aalim (scholar) Akram Nadvi along with his fellow Aalim Mufti Abu Layth were to address the questions.

At one point Mr. Akram Nadvi told the student “alright, we’ll do a quick case study/reality check here and we’ll hypothetically give Justin Trudeau’s Canada or Theresa May’s UK to the party who want to establish a worldwide Caliphate for a month to see how they would perform”. And in the end both the Ullema shook their heads. I don’t want to paraphrase what was said by those Ullema, but I’ll explain it in my own way for you to understand.

Say London was handed over to a group of Caliphate lovers (jihadists)

First day they enter the city chanting the Arabic words “Allahu Akkbar” (God is great- at least all religious people know that God is great, otherwise there is no point in praising. But praising in Arabic I cannot get my head around. Because I strongly believe that the God’s language is not Arabic, but science and my Jewish cousin Einstein understood that languages very well and nicely interpreted it as “ every action has its positive or negative reaction” through nature’s relativity and or gravity set up in one of the human languages. All the human languages Sumerian, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Sanskrit, Pali, Aramaic, Arabic, Sinhalese, Tamil and current leading world langue English is a medium of the language of the nature with developed alphabets and phonetics.)

First day was fine because that the jihadists were busy taking an inventory of London. Details of Mosques, Churches, Synagogues, Gurduwaras, Temples, Kovils , Cinemas, Restaurants, Night clubs, Recreational clubs etc. Second day morning all inhabitants of London were in confusion as they happened to hear call for the early morning prayer through loudspeakers. But they did not bother themselves about it. They were preparing for their daily routine life. The problem started, when the jihadists started killing all the men who did not attend the Fajir (early morning) prayer.

Women and children were frightened. But one brave young woman stood up and told the Amir (ruler/leader) of the Caliphate, you killed my husband for no reasons and by that you made my children and me destitute, my dear husband was the only breadwinner in the family.

Your husband did not come to Mosque and pray the way I pray. So the law is breached, thus the punishment is death, the Amir said. We’re not Muslims therefore we cannot be expected in the Mosque for worship, the woman replied. Then you all are Kuffars (infidels), subject to be killed, the Amir said.

A brave Muslim woman got up and challenged the Amir. Oh! Amir, you are making a blunder here . Caliphate is not Friday or Sunday religious school or abattoir. It was a type of governing entity of a society for maintaining social justice, based upon economic fairness and law and order to oversee them. You killed my friend’s husband illegally and made them not able to feed themselves.

So, you’re wilfully supporting an infidel and it’s treason, both of you should face the death penalty. The brave Muslim woman didn’t stop. Amir! you have no right to take innocent lives. No matter if you are an Amir, King, President or Gangster. My God confirms that no one is given authority over anyone’s life. Life has sanctity. I don’t see any difference between my friend’s soul, my soul and your soul. But one thing is certain here that your soul is rotten compared to ours. She was silenced and taken to the jail room.

The small boy of the Muslim woman rose and said, Amir! you are going to kill my mother’s friend because she said you killed my friend’s father and they have nothing left and my mother because she spoke the truth. If you kill them I cannot look after my small sister. I’m only 13 and have not sat for my GCSEs now. I don’t know how to find money to buy provisions for my sister, my friend and me.

You do not need to study and do exams; purpose of life is to prepare for the next life. Your next life will be very good in the Heaven if you obey the order of the Caliphate. Your next life will be in Hell if you disobey. Amir!, I learnt in the holy Qur-an that learning is obligatory for men and women. And my Prophet says if the knowledge is in the eyes of a lion go for it. Even the knowledge is in faraway China make a first step towards China.

Young man you don’t understand what was meant by “learning”, it means how to pray, where to make Hijra ( migration/ seeking protection), how to prepare for jihad (holy war) , how to establish Khilaafa (Caliphate) and how quickly to get admitted to Heaven, where 72 virgins await you. Do a small job and get ready for this earthly life. I can’t do any job. I’m small and feeble., The boy was adamant.

So, are you suggesting stealing, young man? The Amir asked. Stealing is a crime punishable by chopping off your hands. The Amir confirmed.

Hearing the orders of the Amir a young girl rose with full of energy. Amir! You are going to kill my mother’s friend on what charge? Possible intention of prostitution to find money, because she lost her husband for his transgression, and punishment is death by stoning, Amir yelled. Your Muslim mother supporting her infidel friend has committed treason, we’ll slit her throat in public on Friday as a deterrent to other treacherous people.
