Following Qur’an Desecration, Why Not Sit Down and Read the Qur’an? [Quote of the Day – 185]

Expand Excerpt >>

“Now that We Are Done Desecrating It, Can We Now Start Reading It?”

Dr. Pasha Challenges America to Read the Qur’an!

 

Reading the Desecrated Scripture May Be a Way to 
Atone for Our Mortal Sin of Desecrating It

It is a reasonable expectation that those who wilfully, knowingly, and out of malice and hate, desecrate Divine Scripture – regardless of which one it is – will burn in hell, if they were to die unrepentant.

But those of the rest of us who aid and abet in this villainy either by word or by deed, or by culpable acquiescence, silence or indifference, may atone for some of our own complicity by starting to read the desecrated book.

Is that too much to expect or ask?

Islamic Government Is Government of the People, by the People [Quote of the Day - 191]

Expand Excerpt >>

Islamic Government is not a theocracy. For, there are no priests or clergymen in Islam.

It is not even a government by the pious and the virtuous. For, that is what led to the Salem Witch Burnings.

Simply put, Islamic Government is government of the people, by the people.

All governments are. They are all governments of the people, run by people of one kind or another, regardless of whether it is a democracy or dictatorship.

That means every government everywhere is, and always has been, run by people, whether those people are kings, commoners, priests, lords, barons or someone else.

The core element of Islamic Government is this: People Must Govern Themselves.

That means the following things:

  1. People — All People — must freely and fearlessly elect their own rulers.
  2. They must obey their rulers when they are right and help them run things smoothly and well.
  3. They must correct them when they are wrong.
  4. They must hold them accountable at all times.
  5. And they must remove and replace them as and when they see fit, using the same open and fair electoral process that put them in office the first time.

That is Islamic Government, no matter what anyone says.

Islamic Government, then, is basically government of the people; by the people.

Undertaken for the pleasure of God Almighty and not just in the raw pursuit of worldly gain by ambitious politicians.

It is a Government of Laws and Due Process.

Presided over by God’s Word, the Qur’an. And the sayings and doings of Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam.

It is Utopia on earth in the best and most positive sense of that term.

And the will of a free people: The People.

By what name people call such government is up to them. There is no one right or wrong name for it.

Democracy is Greek for “People’s Rule.”

Theocracy is Greek for “God’s Rule.”

Plutocracy is Greek for “Government by the Rich.”

Kleptocracy is Greek for “Government by Thieves.”

In the real world, all rule is people’s rule. It is people – human beings – who exercise authority and manage power on earth.

Some people rule in their own name. Some rule in God’s name. But it is always people who rule.” (Dr. Pasha)

Islam Gave People the Right to Say “No!” – Even to God Himself [Quote of the Day - 194]

“Prior to the advent of Islam in this world, in the middle of the Seventh Century let us say, often Dissent Meant Death – often a very painful one – whether that dissent was against the King or the Church.

Islam came to give people – all people – the Right to Say “No!” without being punished for saying it. And doing so even to God Almighty himself.” (Dr. Pasha)

Working for Allah Is the Ultimate Formula for Success [Quote of the Day - 195]

Expand Excerpt >>

“One hears a great deal nowadays about Muslims wanting to work for Allah, which is just great. The more, the merrier.

What everyone needs to understand, however, is that a critical component of working for Allah is working for people. Essentially, it is working to make this world of Allah a better place for all of Allah’s creation.

And doing so using the Qur’an as the manual and guide, and the life of Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam, as the practical model and example.

And, at the same time, working for Allah is using any word of wisdom and authentic scientific knowledge, truth and rationality that one can find anywhere.

With a winning combination like that, how can anyone fail to unlock the secrets of success and happiness both in this world and in the next world?” (Dr. Pasha)
