The Hindus often complain of the isolation and exclusiveness of a gang or a clique and blame them for anti-social spirit. But they conveniently forget that this anti-social spirit is the worst feature of their own Caste System.
The literature of the Hindus is full of caste genealogies in which an attempt is made to give a noble origin to one caste and an ignoble origin to other castes. It has gone deeper and has poisoned the mutual relations of the sub-castes as well.
An anti-social spirit is found wherever one group has interests of its own that shuts it out from full interaction with other groups, so that its prevailing purpose is protection of what it has got. This anti-social spirit, this spirit of protecting its own interests is as much a marked feature of the different castes in their isolation from one another as it is of nations in their isolation.
This is why Hindus are not increasing anymore rather Hinduism is nothing more than the sick man of India dying; a victim of its very own caste system.
Instead of taking it as a lesson, we the post partitioned sub continental Muslims have adopted this caste system-a muslim version, to such an extent that none of us, when asked would identify him/herself as a Muslim but as a Wahabi, Deobandi, Barelvi, Shia; the rootcause of our infighting and continued division.
For instance, if one is a Wahabbi or a Deobandi, for both the Barelvi leader Ahmad Raza Khan stated that both these groups are 'murtadd and kafir.
The Barelvi leader had issued this fatwa (verdict) against the Deoband and the Wahabbi groups as some three hundred Sunni ulama of the entire Muslim world did the same. They stated that: have given this fatwa unanimously that the Wahabbia/Deobandi sects are among extreme apostates and infidels. Indeed they are infidels of such hue that any one who does not regard them as infidels is also counted among the infidels and his wife will become automatically divorced in such a situation. Any progeny from such a marriage will be illegitimate and can claim no inheritance under Muslim law.
In a similar fatwa issued by the Mufti and Imam of the Ka'aba and the Muftis of Medina, the Wahabbis have been declared disbelievers and apostates. The edict issued by them declares: The Wahabbis, in the unanimous opinion of the divines of Mecca and Medina are disbelievers and apostates from Islam such that anyone who comes to know of their cursed writings and speeches and still doubts in their being disbelievers, himself becomes a disbeliever.
The Deobandi and Wahabbi ulama have issued similar fatwas against the Barelvis. For instance, Maulvi Sayyid Muhammad Murtaza of Deoband denounced Ahmad Raza Khan, the leader of Barelvi's as a murtadd, a dadjaal of the century and a great kafir and excluded him from the pale of Islam.
Of the famous mullahs, Maudoodi, whose ideas are swallowed by many gullible people, particularly in Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Bangladesh and other countries. This Mullah did nothing for Islam but to create another division among Muslims. He rejected many so-called authentic Hadiths and surprisingly accepted many weak hadiths that suited his needs.
This virulent strain of caste system has claimed some on pkpolitics, effecting both the social and religious vitalities of its members.
The only known vaccine for the stricken:
The Noble Koran 3:105 - Do not be like those who became divided and disputed, despite the clear proofs that were given to them. For these have incurred a terrible retribution.
The Noble Koran 6:159 - Those who divide themselves into sects does not belong with you. Their judgment rests with GOD, then He will inform them of everything they had done.
God Almighty says that those who break their religion and make into sects and groups they have no relation with Islam or prophet means they are not Muslims (6:159).
May this only cure prove effective, upon those suffering that there are no more Wahabbis, Deobandis, Barelvis, Shia, moudodias, kaley angriz etc on pkpolitics…….so that our debates or discussions may have a positive outcome. A’amin.
