We need rational thinking

For the last couple of days we have been reading letters /articles written by different learned writers and published in Chitral,s esteemed online  followed by an statement given by respected MPA Maulana Abdur Rehman in the mosque of jughoor Chitral regarding establishment of PDCC (branch of AKU) in Chitral
In this relevance first of all my deep sense of respect and reverence for each and every flower grown in the garden of Chitral, either it is red rose, white rose or jasmine. In my view point every body is good. Nobody is bad. Cleric (Dashman is good-syed is good. Maulana sahibs are nice, Missionary sahibans are excellent and even Bachara khan�s community is wonderful .now the question is what is bad and who is bad?. The answer is simple. Hatred is bad. Aggression is bad. Ignorance (jahalat) is bad. Poverty (ummul Khabais) is bad. Differences and lack of unity are bad. As regards Chitral and Chitralis are concerned, they are known for their peace, mutual respect and hospitality across the globe. They are so unique in their mutual respect and hospitality that a person from Drosh Chitral living in Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, other down district or abroad introduces a person from Sorlaspur or Sorech as his brother, not villager or even neighbour. similarly a person from upper Yarkhoon introduces his guest from terich as his brother and he takes the responsibility of his/her food and shelter unless and until the gust becomes able to stand on his/her own feet. These highly appreciated and unique values are needed to be kept up and maintained.
As regards establishment of AKU branch in far-flung area like Chitral is concerned, it is really a great gift for Chitral and it should be accepted and honored from the bottom of hearts and if luck knocks at our door we are supposed to let it come inside as such chances rarely come time and again. As true believers we should follow the Hadit Mubarak where in we have been asked to proceed even to china in search of knowledge( in those days china may great centre of learning in terms of science and technology).
So far as respected MPA Abdur Rehman sahib,s perceptions about the job structures, location of the building or something else are concerned, they are required to be addressed through negotiations and dialogue and in this connection great responsibilities do rest upon the shoulders of respected MNA, MPAS, district Nazim, union Nazims/councilors, Administration, educated community, philosophers and media in developing confidence, harmony and consensus.
Education both religious and modern are of immense significance and our Holy prophet (PBUH) made it obligatory upon every Muslim man and woman. Modern education needs to be accompanied with religious education and religious education with out modern education is incomplete. To coup with the challenges of the modern era our religious education centres (Darul Ulooms, Madrasaas should be equipped with modern and latest computers and the students( talibs) in these Madrasas should have nice terms with mouse and key board. During the divine revelation too the Angel Gabriel asked our Holy Prophet� Iqra beismi Rabi kallazi khalaq.Khalaqal insane min alaqin, Iqra warabbukakramullazi Allama bil qalami Allamal insane malam yalam�� So in these verses of the Holy Quraan reading, pen, knowledge, wisdom and sagacity have been taught . The Angel Gabriel didn�t teach our Holy prophet how to buy Kilashekov, where to buy, how many to buy, how to use the trigger. He didn�t even give him a small knife to use against opponents as Almighty Allah is Rabbil Alameen and our Holy Prophet is Rehmatul Lil Alameen( Mercy ,Kind and blessing for the whole universe not only for the Muslims alone). . The Holy Quran is a Divine Message for all mankind � people of all colors and all races, rich or poor. Its Message is neither �Western� nor �Eastern�. It goes beyond race, national or tribal culture, fashion, myth magic or other man-created theories or philosophies. Muslims believe the Holy Quran is the last Revelation of The Book of God, progressively revealed for mankind by the Divine Messengers including Adam, Eve, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad [Peace be upon them].
Each Divine Messenger was inspired to deliver an important Message for mankind. The Messages focus on the need to read, learn and think about God�s Will [God�s Way]: To love all life and treat it is as sacred, and pursue peace, understanding and freedom while striving to avoid evil.
Muhammad (PBUH) highlights how important peace, charity and civility are in our community and on a global basis. Anger, aggression and evil conduct generate fear, insecurity and terror itself. This is why Muhammad(PBUH) even left Mecca to avoid a plot to kill him and went to Medina where he was welcomed and supported. He and his new Medina friends successfully defended several violent attacks aimed at killing him. Ultimately, by Muhammad�s (PBUH) mediation and consultation, not one ounce of blood was shed on his peaceful re-entry to Mecca. He freed resident believers from fear and repression. He also established freedom of religion and freedom from religion. Idols were removed from the Ka�ba [the House of God built by Abraham and Ishmael]. Being humble, caring and compassionate like all previous Divine Messengers, he did not stay around and gloat; he simply returned to Medina where he lived in peace for the rest of his Earthly life.
All of God�s Divine Messengers highlighted that no one person or nation has the Moral Authority on Earth to manipulate mankind in the name of God. The Moral Authority rests only with Almighty God. The Moral Responsibility [or obligation] to pursue peace with understanding, forgiveness, inspirational conduct and, above all, love, not only for mankind but for all life on Earth, rests upon each individual. Those who worship Almighty God, pray to Him for inspiration, follow the examples of His Divine Messengers, and pursue worthy conduct, peace, charity and shared prosperity, will make it to Heaven.
Chapter [S] 4 Women verses 123-125 highlights this:
123. Neither your desires [Muslims] nor the desires of The People of The Book [Jews and Christians] can prevail over God�s Will [Way]. Whoever does evil will be punished and they will not find a protecting friend or helper against God.
124. Whoever does good works whilst believing and having Faith in God, such will enter Heaven and not the least injustice will be done to them.
125. Who is better in religion than those who commit their purpose to God whilst doing good for mankind and follow the tradition of Abraham the true in Faith? For God did choose Abraham as a friend.
What the world needs now, more than ever before, is love, forgiveness and peace by mediation and consultation. We should develop peace and instill security rather than fear, terrorism and extremism in the minds of all mankind.. �Non-violence� is the only road to peace. Islam forbids killing: Chapter [S] 5 verse 32 in short says: To take one life is as if you take the life of all humanity and to save one life is as if you save all humanity.
When writing about love, affection and humanity it reminds me about renowned columnist I shad Ahmed Hqqani,s column who writes about lady Diana( May her soul rest in peace). When Lady Diana( late) was visiting Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital of Lahore (cancer Hospital) she visited different patients suffering from fatal disease cancer, she came to a little girl whose real parents and other kiths hesitated to touch her because of her badly affected body condition, Lady Diana hugged her and kissed her fore-head. Her this action of love and affection towards humanity made everybody in the delegation impressed and cry( who had soft hearts.).
I thank God I live in Canada Here, as in the civilized and peaceful community of Muhammad (PBUH) in Mecca, we people from more than 150 countries live together, work together, enjoy mutual respect and respect of religion. I am proud of Canada, my country of adoption and I am proud of Pakistan (Chitral ) my country of origin/birth..
I pray for the time when our children live in a world where they won�t be judged by their gender, colour of their skin or their religion, but only by whether their conduct is worthy.

Sincerely,.
