Saying “NO!” to Islamic Sectarianism once and for all

Holy Qur’an; Chapter 5 Surah Al-Maidah verse 3: “…This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed my favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.”

This blog is focused to eradicate Islamic Sectarianism, especially from amongst the educated masses; i.e. the supposed people of rationale. The least that we as educated Muslims can do is, own our religion as it ought to be owned and snatch it back from those supposed ‘Religious Scholars’ who we empowered due to our religious indifference and lack of concern with acquiring authentic knowledge and education of Islam in its very entirety. Leaving these pseudo scholars at large to use their supposed knowledge of religion for vested purposes; manipulating the masses, coercing them and religiously blackmailing them into following a ‘self made depiction or translation of Islam,’ henceforth creating factions and fueling sectarianism for their self interest and according aim of ‘divide and rule’.

Holy Qur’an; Chapter 3 Surah Aal-e-Imran verse 103: “Hold fast, all of you, to the cord of Allāh, and be not divided. Remember the blessing of Allāh upon you: When you were enemies to each other, and He brought your hearts together, so that, you became brothers through His blessing. You were at the brink of a pit of Fire, then He saved you from it. This is how Allāh makes His signs clear to you, so that you may take the right path.”

It is time we take control of our Religion, no-longer allowing it to remain hi-jacked by such who alter the Message of the Qur’an and disregard the Sunnah. We need to make our utmost effort to come clean and reject all the teachings, ideologies, rationale, thought patterns which do not conform to the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah. We need to recognize that the Qur’an and Sunnah are the only ‘facts’ as we know them, the rest is just history and historic points of view which hold no significance in the light of the Qur’an and Sunnah. Hence anything that which conflicts or contradicts or clashes with the Qur’an and established teachings of the Prophet , must be set aside and deleted from our own personal thought patters cleansing us such that we are finally able to understand and apply the Qur’an and Sunnah in its true and very pure, Essence as well as Command.

Holy Qur’an; Chapter 22 Surah Al-Hajj verse 78: “And strive in His cause, as you ought to strive. He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you in this way; it is the way of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims, both before and in this revelation, that the messenger may be a witness for you, and you are witnesses for humanity. So establish prayer, pay zakat, and hold fast to Allāh. He is your Protector, the best to protect and the best to help."

We need to avow to quit sectarianism at a personal level and become pure ‘Muslims’ and denounce living under any other label other than the one Allāh has chosen for us.
