"(Allah is All-Powerful over every thing.) He is the one who created death and life so that He may test as to which of you is better in his deeds." Bibi Benazir has also left this world with all her good and bad deeds at the age of Fifty-four. All are wonder-stuck at her sudden demise. But Allah's will prevails and no one dies before time contrary to His will rather the moment, method and place of everyone's death is predetermined. Benazir was a giant personality with regard to politics. At her bloody death, the entire country is in the grip of disorder, disruption and strikes. Four days have passed. Still all the shops and bazaars are closed. Now the prejudice of language in Sind is rising fast. Islam has given woman a very high, elevated, sensitive and honourable position. Therefore, all the people are sad at the demise of a woman. A short while ago, a number of oppressed daughters of "The Jamia Hafsa" in Islamabad were killed with bullet shots and bombs. The flames also arose in the hearts at that time but with a difference. Those oppressed sisters were true Islamic ladies and there was no political party or provincialism at their back. On the other hand, Benazir was the favourite leader of the West and America and her party was also a very strong political power. However, the country is burning these days and the houses are being robbed in Sind. The caravans of rogues and ruffians are roaming about without let. The innocent girls are carrying the Noble Quran in their hands and are imploring for the protection of their chastity. The shops of the people in Sind who cannot speak the Sindhi language are being put to fire and their innocent holy ladies are being assaulted. The vehicles are burning and the banks are being looted, railway tracks are being uprooted and the people are being beaten mercilessly. But where is the government that is bombing at Wazirstan and Swat to establish her authority? Where are the bombing planes and big convoys? Where are the government's universal claims? May Allah be kind to the Muslim Ummah and the Pakistanis for whom death is cheaper than life? It seems as if peace had got offended with us. The government claims that the Taalibaan and the tribal Mujahidden have killed Benazir. It also claims of having taped their phones. The government argues that Mujahideen have killed Benazir for being a woman and Westernized one. On the other hand, the Mujahidden claim that the government has itself killed Benazir. They say, "Islam does not allow the killing of a woman. When the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and his Caliphs would send the Islamic army for Jihad, they were strictly forbidden to kill a woman. Secondly, Benazir was not in power that she could harm us. Why would we kill her?" And many other such arguments.
On the other hand, the PP says that the government and the governmental political party has got her killed. To pen off, the departing soul has departed. Now the survivors are blaming different people for it whereas Pakistan is still burning and sighing due the pain of injures. It is correct that the Mujahideen and religious sect of Pakistan do not like Benazir to be the President or Prime Minister of Pakistan. It is also correct that Benazir issued different statements to please America upon which she could perhaps not act. But this does not prove that Mujahideen have killed her because the Retired Military officer and President of the country Mr. Parvez Musharrif has always regarded Benazir as his strongest rival. Once, he said in consternation that Benazir had become the darling of the West. At this, an intellectual of the BBC commented that the president had actually grown jealous of her. He had been the sole darling of America for many years. Now, as America has got fed up with him and she wishes Benazir to become the ruler, Mr. Musharif has begun to regard her as co-wife and rival. Formerly, he has given many words of abuse to Benazir in his world famous book "In The Line of Fire." A few days ago, he confessed that American pressure works at his reconciliation with Benazir.
However, it is a very serious issue. Some people think that the government has tried to kill three birds with one stone. First, the strongest rival like Benazir should be removed from the path. Second, the blame should be shifted at the shoulders of the Mujahidden and their circle must be narrowed. Third, the ground for Presidential Government should be levelled by Postponing the Elections. Allah knows what may happen next. Death is cheaper than life in every Muslim country whether it is Pakistan or Afghanistan, Kashmir or Palestine, Iraq or Aljazair. The enemies of the Muslims have grown very powerful and lustful and are dreaming of extirpating the Muslim Ummah. Now the Muslims need a country that is purely theirs and need a ruler who is free of foreign pressure, and is God-fearing, good-mannered and brave. The Muslim Ummah needs a patch of the earth with a Muslim ruler where to establish caliphate from where the armies for Islam and Jihad may be prepared. These days, death is ruling the supreme everywhere. Unnumbered people die in the accidents happening in the vehicles purchased on interest. Dozens of people are mortalized in disruptions and disorders. It makes clear that there is no death in Jihad. Death comes everywhere and in every duty. The death of Benazir Bhutto also gives us the lesson to make our lives useful and we should be prepared for death. Neither the friendship of Bush nor the Resolutions of the UNO work after death. The system there is totally different. These days people are reciting the Noble Quran for her abundantly everywhere. How good it will be if man gets guidance from the Noble Quran in every matter and makes the Noble Quran his companion.
Who is to be befriended and who not? The guidance should be sought from the Noble Quran as to what kind of politics should there and what not. It should also be learnt from the Noble Quran whom to meet and whom not. It should also be searched out from the Noble Quran whether Bush's condolence, Candoliza Rice's sorrowful tears and Halary Clinton's tributes can be the alternative to the obligatory prayers. Only ablution, piety, purity, prayers, veil, modesty, bashfulness, justice, Zakat, charity, Jihad, Fasting and Hajj etc. and true complete Eman (belief) will be useful after death not National Awards and Tributes of the International Comity. The people of the People's Party should also regard calling themselves liberal, secular and westernization as an ignominy not a credit and pride. They should beg pardon of Allah sincerely and resolve to serve Islam and the country. Now, the country needs the rulers who have good manners, because manners is a very multidimensional word. The gist is that only acting upon the teachings of Islam is morality. Now, the thieves, ruffians and robbers are the rulers over the country. None of them is the one who has human compassions, love and sacrifice. These days, there are big groups of the roaring police officers, the growling Agency officers, the robbing Ministers and the rulers who are tyrannising their countrymen at the direction of the foreigners.
We do not complain of the circumstances. It was Allah's will to create us in this age. The period when the Sahaba(RA) were born was not a golden age. There was Kufr, Polytheism, oppression, injustice, killing and massacre everywhere. Then Allah revealed Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) with His true Din. The Sahaba(RA) valued it. They shook off every chain and made themselves the slaves of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). They put aside their wisdom, thinking and national rites and made the Noble Quran their sole guide. Then the times themselves changed and it became "The Best Period" in the twinkling of an eye. Then neither the ignorance of Abu Jahl nor the oppression and injustice of Rome and Persia persisted. Allah be thanked that the Holy Prophet's (PBUH) Din and beneficence still exist in its original form. The Noble Quran is also presenting its actual position without the transposition of a letter or a word. Then why are we not able to change the times? Actually, we lack two things: Appreciation and courage. O yes, we do not value Din and our hearts are devoid of courage. The Sahaba (RA) did not attach any importance even equal to the wing of the mosquito to Rome and Persia whereas we have decided that it is impossible to counter America and Europe. The Sahaba(RA) invested their lives in Din whereas we have sacrificed ourselves for the sake of the world. For us, it is easy to die in an accident but it is utmost difficult to wage Jihad. If someone is advised to recite Durood (Salutations on the Holy Prophet) for one thousand times at night, he wonders, how he finds so much time whereas he wastes thirty minutes in opening a website at computer. O Slaves of Allah, Durood for more than one thousand times can be recited in ten minutes. But only the lucky ones recite Durood Sharif who have Divine Light at their faces whereas the faces busy at operating upon the computers till mid-night are deprived of the sweetness of the Divine Light and Eman (Belief). It is a minor example of our disheartedness. Those were also human hands who conquered Bait-Ullah, broke the necks of the generals of the Kafirs who tried to search for places of seclusion for a shameful sin. It is Allah's will to bless anyone with high status of courage and snatch the good deeds of anyone He wills. May Allah bless us all with the courage to value Din and wage Jihad in the way of Allah. The rulers of Pakistan are threatening the religious sects on the eve of the death of Benazir. They are preaching the statements of Bush and Brown.
We have written a few lines on this occasion that the Mujahideen and the religious people need not feel fear. Confrontation of the Mujahideen is with the Pagan powers who are occupying Bait-ul-Maqaddis and are looking to Ka'ba and the Shrine of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) with evil malicious eyes and who have occupied the Muslim territories and lands.
This confrontation of the devotees of Madina will continue till the total conquest of Madina by the grace of Allah. The government should make deep investigations and while investigating it should also keep a mirror before it. All the faces that burn and depopulate the country will themselves be visible. (Inshallah).
