Perspective: A cry from the heart | B. A. Rafiq


The Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be on him, had declared these bigoted mullahs and maulvis as the worst creatures on the face of earth, fifteen centuries ago.

(On the 1st of January 2010 a suicide bomber blew himself up amongst a crowd of spectators watching a volleyball match in the town of Lakki Marwat, Pakistan. 105 men and children were killed and scores permanently maimed and injured. At the time my father [late B. A. Rafiq, Imam, London Mosque] wrote this 'cry from the heart' and polemic at the awful state of affairs in Pakistan - Munir Rafiq)

Pakistan is in the clutches of murderers, mad mullahs, corrupt and dishonest leaders and hypocrites these days. They have closed the doors of salvation on them by rejecting the Messiah. Alaihissalam.

The whole nation is paying the price of their arrogance, rebellion, disobedience and false pride, in rejecting the Promised Messiah as their savior. Their condition is now like a waterfall that goes down with full force and could not stop itself from falling into a deep pit. They have arrived now at a point of no return. Their destiny of destruction is written on the wall but they are totally blind and unable to read it. In the words of the Holy Quran they are deaf, dumb and blind.

From top to bottom they are corrupt, dishonest and are Mushrikeen. They rejected the Promised Messiah and tried to humiliate him. They disfigured the Kalima from the walls of  Ahmadiyya mosques. They prohibited Ahmadis to call Azan from the minarets of their mosques, that Allah is One, and that Muhammad s.a.w, is His Prophet. They stopped Ahmadis from calling themselves "Muslims". They forced their Khalifa to leave the country. They killed Ahmadis, destroyed their mosques and refused to give them the status of an equal citizen; they denied their human rights and their right of vote. They thought that they were the victors and the Ahmadis were the vanquished. Allah Who is all seeing and most Powerful gave them enough time to repent, but they did not.

Now the wrath of Allah has started descending on them. Thousands have been killed in terrorist attacks all over the country. Their mosques are not safe. There are bomb blasts in their mosques by their own people. Their army is at war with its own people. Their leadership is totally corrupt and dishonest. They are calling each other non Muslims and Kafirs. A large number of worshippers are scared to attend congregational prayers at their mosque in the evenings and mornings. They are in constant fear of bomb blasts, terrorist attacks and losing their dear and loved ones. Unfortunately the innocent people are paying the price of their leader’s corruption, dishonesty and greed.

The majority of Pakistanis are below the poverty line while the rich are becoming richer. There are power cuts, electricity loadshedding, poverty, discontentment, starvation and lawlessness.

There are long lines of suffering people including women and children to get sugar, Aata and other daily groceries from the shops run by mafias.  It looks as if the whole structure of their society is based on falsehood, greed and accumulation of wealth.

The Parliament that passed the infamous amendment to the constitution, to declare Ahmadis “Non Muslims” in 1974 has lost all its power since then. Every day TV anchors, newspapers and politicians are crying that the Parliament should be made sovereign but to no avail. It has become a rubber stamp and is used to protect the interests of Mafias and corrupt politicians.

The abolition of NRO has denuded thousands of politicians, bureaucrats and Civil and Military establishments. More than eight thousand people of elite class have been declared corrupt, Bank defaulters, land usurpers and their corruption cases have been referred to the Courts.

The so-called religious hierarchy is devoid of religious knowledge and understanding. They are only interested in amassing Haram wealth and indulging in dirty politics.  They turn a blind eye to satanic machinations and encourage terrorism.

The Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be on him, had declared these bigoted mullahs and maulvis as the worst creatures on the face of earth, fifteen centuries ago. These mullahs and maulvis are a saleable commodity. Every one of them has a price. They are ready to distort truth, give false statements and mislead the poor innocent followers, for a price. They have no fear of Allah and are followers of Satan.

It is these misguided mullahs and maulvis that gave birth to Talibanisation in Pakistan. It was their seminaries and madrassas that produced killers and terrorists in Swat and the tribal belt of Pakistan. It was their teachings to close girl schools, cut throats of those who disobeyed them, hang the bodies of those whom they disliked in public places to create awe and horror. As a matter of fact they cannot be called human beings. They are worse than beasts and animals. There is, of course, a minority of learned Ulemas in Pakistan but no one listens to them.

Why don’t they look at the track record of the Ahmadiyya Movement that has produced a society based on justice, equality and peace? In its history of a hundred years there has not been a single Ahmadi involved in terrorism. They have neither taken part in any disturbance in the country nor have organized any street movement to encourage lawlessness.  In spite of being the target of dreadful persecution they had never taken the law in their own hands.  They remained peaceful, law abiding and loyal citizens of Pakistan, forgiving their enemies and praying for them. Their revered Khalifa, may Allah help him, has always preached peace, tolerance and forgiveness in his weekly sermons. His sermons and speeches have brought about a great spiritual change in his followers. They have become God fearing, lovers of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, may Allah’s peace be on him and Muttaqis as a result of listening to his sermons and discourses.

The Promised Messiah, peace be him, has turned his Jamaat into a Millat i Wahida. They are always ready to lay down their lives for the cause of their Faith. They are ready to sacrifice their wealth, honour and life for Allah and His prophet.

Their missionaries’ spread all over the world, preaching the Unity of God and the truthfulness of His Prophet, Muhammad, peace be on him, and his servant Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Messiah. Their selfless hard work paid dividends in the conversions of millions of those who opposed Islam and the Holy Prophet, peace be on him. Those who opposed the holy Prophet now started sending their Durood on him. They became his lovers and servants.

What change has the bigoted mullahs and maulvis brought in Pakistan? They expelled millions of those Ahmadis who were the lovers of the Holy Prophet, peace be on him, and declared them “Non Muslims”. They forcibly stopped them to call from their minarets that Allah is One and Muhammad, peace be on him, is His Prophet and Messenger. Inna lillahi wa inna alaihi rajioon
