Is it an Islamic state and Muslims? Take a good look. Do not you fear God? Do you have all the commandments of God? Justice is an essential and integral part of any company, especially a Muslim. But in Pakistan there is no justice, there are a lot of lawlessness and corruption in society. Our banking system is on the charging of interest. But still, the Koran says that each interest expense or feeds are the enemies of Islam. However, this does not prevent us, against the will of God.  The Koran says that everyone accepts, or to be thrown a bribe to hell. This does not prevent the majority of Pakistanis. Corruption is an integral part of our society and yet we are an Islamic country. There are factories of alcohol in the country and yet we are an Islamic country. The last thing I read was that the production or consumption of alcohol is a sin. But consume in Pakistan, a group of men and women, young people and adults alcohol. The question is what kind of Islam, we are pursuing.

The Qur’an emphasizes the education of every man and woman, but hey, there are 40 million children 5-19 are not registered. There are many men feel that the hard head, that women should be educated. What kind of Muslims do not follow the commandments of God as mentioned in the Quran?
In the Qur’an, the emphasis on responsibility and punishment of men and women who commit crimes and evil found. But to most of our politicians, bureaucrats and leaders seem to be without any ethics and morals. They looted the treasury and established severe damage to the fortunes of the people and the country. But would consider punishing instead of these men and accountability, these men still in power. My question is whether we are an Islamic nation, why do we need infidels and hypocrites in power corrupt? If these men and women remain in power, the nation can cease to exist.

Many men and women who testify in key positions in the corridors of power, often in the name of God and the Holy Koran, which is to serve the nation. However, once they elected or appointed to a 360-degree flip and work on everything that is not legal to do.

We are a nation where people find it very convenient for the murder of women under the pretext of honor. Is this Islamic? The concept of Karo Kiri is anti-Islamic and yet men and families who take it upon themselves to kill the men and women who dared to marry against the will of their own families. Koran verses indicate whip adulterers, nothing has been said about the cold-blooded murder. Therefore Karo Kiri and murder in the name of honor are all non-Islamic, and yet these practices are allowed in our society.

I find this hard to swallow that the young women and the poor who are raped by men influence can not find justice in this so-called Islamic society. The question is why. Wealthy and influential men guilty of misconduct are protected by law. This is not the law of Islam or Muslims. The poor and the rich should be treated fairly under the law and yet it is called in our legal system.

The Koran speaks against the mixing of men and women. Dating is a concept that goes against Islam. However, it is widespread in our society as if it were a part of Islamic culture. It is the first step in promoting adultery in our society. Adultery opens the door to other sins. And yet people still minimal this area.

It is a crime that many video stores in Pakistan that sell X-rated movies to the public, regardless of age or gender. These films are a poison that destroys the moral fabric of society on the verge of collapse. However, pornographic sites on the Internet for men and women who are not visited as a teenager. This should be seen and yet it is not.
There are over 200,000 prostitutes in the country. Men, young and old frequent brothels to satisfy their lust. The pimps and their bats are protected by the police turn to bribes. The men in the corridors of power are the customers of prostitution.
There are many social ills in our society that must be removed. And while it is the presence of men and women who practice magic and those who offer their services to kill someone, or a spell. These men and women have different modes and media to publicize their services. How men and women of Islamic countries should be sentenced to death, but are not. Why do we allow these men and women work in our societies?
Then there are palm readers and astrologers who provide services, the ship fools who use their services for future studies. He is a Hindu tradition, a place in Muslim society has found.

Apart from the case of followers to visit the shrines of saints. The law of prayer to God is good, but when men and women pray at the holy dead to pray for them God is Shirk  or the act of linking partners with Allah. It is said that the only sin not forgiven by God be.
Many men and women often  need of mental health, but often feel on men to close a line thin in the act of shirk  the houses of the PIR, giving him the power of God is a human.

So many times there are men deeper into the black magic that masquerade as religious men and are frequented by blind and ignorant.

Apart from that, until we merchants and traders, food treasure from wheat and sugar to love a little money. It is a tradition among the producers of sugar, wheat and other essential goods. The accumulation of these products is a religion among the manufacturers. For money and benefits they are willing to lay aside their faith and commit a crime and sin.

It is important that the black market and hoarding of goods heavily punished and imprisoned.

The law is weak and not properly implemented by the parties. All too often, those interested in law enforcement either damaged or if they are honest, is that the thugs and villains often have contacts in the corridors of power. honest police officers and government often they have been transferred to another city or village. Many honest and efficient work of the police were suspended and dismissed because he too honest.

It is a country where we see that men and women can be bribed false witnesses to appear. For a certain sum of money, they are happy with the Koran and swear to false statements. Consequently, a large number of men and women wrongly convicted of crimes.

Seventy percent of the population of 160 million people in Pakistan live in abject misery and poverty. They live on less than $ 2 per day. Therefore have little access to health, hygiene, education and justice. Because of inflation and high unemployment, poor living has become miserable for the day. They have little access to adequate nutrition. And the sad thing is that no one seems concerned about his situation. Neighbors can be very aware of the suffering of our neighbor, but do nothing to help. Therefore, many poor families sell their children for money. Others commit suicide out of despair.

Five percent of the population owns all the wealth of society. The rich are getting richer by the day and the poor struggle to survive. Today want 40 million children aged 5-19 years not in school today. They can not afford an education. Are present, various forms of work are used to support their families.

The transformation of a company can earn through education or through the development of skills to make a decent living. The governments in Pakistan have bastions of corruption. After knowing the death of founding father Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Pakistan has taken hostage by the feudal lords, politicians, bureaucrats and technocrats who took part in the creation of personal fief by corruption. Many politicians of Pakistan have estimated false titles and important positions in government. What types of models? Muslims are certainly not in any way. They are hypocrites, liars and cheats.

Only a radical revolution can change the fate of this nation. As corruption is eliminated from the society in all its forms and faces, Pakistan can not grow or survive as a nation.

Islam is a revolution in education, social development in Arab countries, that many changes to eliminate discrimination and promote human rights on the basis of equality and justice has known. But unfortunately, there are now granted some traditional and cultural practices in different Muslim societies that deprive women of certain rights of Islam. This discrimination starts even before the birth of a child (eg abortion if the child is waiting for a girl) and continue along the parenting and beyond. Heritage education, freedom of choice and opinion research, the level of humility and tolerance are both based on the same type as the mother’s desire, a son of a respectable status in the family. In this article, important perspectives on Islamic-raising a little girl into a woman who is not currently in many Muslim societies due to lack of knowledge or lack of sincere intent.

IIWA (Iqra International Women’s Alliance) was launched with a view to give exposure to educated Muslim women to express their views and be a part of active Muslim society. As we all know half of the Muslim population is women who have tremendous potential to work for Ummah in social religious and educational fields. These potentials need direction and support by responsible people to break the shackles of economic strife.

There are many misconceptions and stereotypes in the society to demean Islam with particular reference to women. IIWA provides a platform for Muslim women to come forward, express their views and work positively for the Ummah strictly within the framework of Islamic shariah.

IIWA is a platform where Muslim women could join hands with sisters of other faith in carrying out social services so that we send a positive message to others, which alone would help us in D’awah work. IIWA also plans to organized seminars to educate Muslim women about duties imposed on them by Islam as also their rights in Shariah. .

Remove Domestic Violence

As per National Family and Health Survey in India, both Muslims and Hindu women are subjected to domestic violence. Though this violence is 20% less in Muslims as compared to Hindu families yet it is matter of great concern for any Muslim particularly when Rasulullah (S) asked in his last sermon:

“O people! Fear Allah concerning women. Verily you have taken them on the security of Allah and have made their persons lawful unto you by words of Allah. Verily you have certain rights over your women and your women have certain rights over you”.

IIWA has plans to create a cell to sort out issues concerning women who are subjected to domestic violence. IIWA will first try to ensure that such acts do not recur but in extreme cases IIWA would help aggrieved women morally, legally and financially.

IIWA also plans to organized seminars to educate Muslim women about duties imposed on them by Islam as also their rights in Shariah.

IIWA will also cooperate and coordinate with other groups/ organizations who are doing this work. However, IIWA would mainly concentrate on problems of Muslim women under the laws of Shariah

IIWA would also involve Muslim advocates to ensure justice for Muslim women particularly when there is already an act in Indian law “Protection of Women from Domestic Violence” passed on 26th October 2006. .

Removing Stereotype & Misconceptions

There are number of misconceptions about Islam and Muslims particularly about Muslim women in the society. IIWA plans to deal with each one of them and present the correct picture logically and in a positive manner. Hijab, Divorce, alimony etc., are some such issues, which are grossly misrepresented by the media with a view to make Islamic law anti-women. IIWA will try to make others understand that a Muslim woman covers her head but not her wisdom. .

Remove Cultural Imbalance

Muslims in India and many other countries live in a pluralistic society. It’s obvious that some cultural habits and rituals have been adopted by Muslims particularly women. Most of us are not even aware of such rituals, which at times are found un-Islamic. It is therefore necessary that Muslims should shun such wrong practices and scrupulously adhere to the teachings of Islam IIWA will help identify such cultural imbalances from Muslim society and would educate women to adopt the correct way.

In this regard IIWA is working towards reforming Muslim culture and wants to bring about changes for both men and women. IIWA will help Muslim women to adopt Islamic practices and attire and face the challenges of the modern time by balancing worldly affairs with spiritual life. .

Generate Communal Harmony

When prophet Mohamed (S) established first Muslim state in Madinah, he announced the rights of non-Muslims too. He announced that every non-Muslim who lives peacefully his life, wealth, places of worship would remain fully protected by the state. They also shared equal opportunities and reap benefits in Islamic state.

There were strict instructions to the conquering Muslim army not to hurt them or defame their religious heads or touch their places of worship. In case of complaints from non-Muslims against the Muslims, investigations were carried our promptly and justice delivered without any delay.

Qur’an says:

Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from Error”. (2:256))

“We know the best what they (non-believers) say; and you are not one to compel them by force. So admonish with the Qur’an such as fear My warnings” (50:45)

Ehsaas

Ehsaas… is an endeavour of the IIWA through which it intends to extend a helping hand to the destitute women & children in India who year for an adequate and affordable means of training and professional enhancement. The project is towards establishing an institute that would offer courses on professional enhancement in Fashion Designing, Textile Designing, Interior Designing, Cooking, Beauty Culture, Computer Skills, Journalism, Photography, Handicrafts, Candle Making and Soft Toys Making etc.

The project entails building a base in Northern India in Delhi’s suburb where the first institution will be established. The plan has a comprehensive approach wherein the base will be an all encompassing set up with a training base including practical, theory & computer aided training methodology; A manufacturing unit where orders bagged by trained professionals will be manufactured; A warehouse where logistics will be maintained; An office where corporate relations and administrative procedures will be carried out and a showroom for visiting guests. It will be a multistory building in a 1000 sq. yards area with an exclusive floor attributed to each division.

The institute will offer training programs through trained professionals and will be subject to a nominal course fees. However, the deserving and needy candidates will be considered in given circumstances.

Through this institute IIWA intends to spread Islamic Education also among the women who are the inceptors of generations and who if educated can at least pay off an inheritance of education to the progeny. This however, will be achieved by the inclusion of Islamic Education as a compulsory subject for the Muslim Women & Children.

IIWA believes in a truly peaceful society in which people cooperate and coordinate with each other irrespective of their religion and belief. In order to enhance communal harmony what is required understands the teachings of all religion for which inter faith dialogues are necessary. Let us present to the world what Islam teachers and what prophet Mohamed (S) professed. At the same time let us hear what other religions stand for and what they teach the humankind.

IIWA is arranging inter faith dialogues between various communities for the sole purpose of creating mutual understanding and trust between them and to remove stereotypes and misunderstandings created deliberately against a particular religion and faith. .

Understanding Women Hijab, Abaya for woman and other Islamic and Muslim Clothing

Muslims follow the religion of Islam. As part of their religion they believe Allah to be their Creator, God and sustainer. Allah revealed the Quran (Islamic religion’s holy and noble book) and in it Allah has provided the commandments to all human beings to believe in only one creator (Allah), provided the guidance to live ones life, the concept of life and death, punishment and rewards after death in the next life, and many other such commandments.

Since the creation of the heavens and the earth, Allah has revealed his message to prophets and messengers. Some of the prophets included Jesus (son of Mary), Jacob, Joseph and Muhammad. Allah revealed his message on his prophets and messengers in the form of scriptures and holy books. These books include Bible, Torah and the Quran. Overtime, Allah’s message was changed by the people for various reasons. Allah sent Muhammad (saws) as the last prophet and revealed his last book, the Quran (also referred to as Koran) on Muhammad. The Quran has remained unchanged since its revelation more than 1500 years ago as Allah has promised that it would be free from any human changes until the day of judgment.

The foundations regarding Islamic Clothing are mentioned in the Quran and through Prophet Muhammad’s (saws) teachings and practices. The primary purpose of Islamic Clothing is to cover a man and a woman’s body as prescribed by Islamic law. This article briefly delineates the various forms of Islamic Clothing worn by Muslims across the world.

The common Islamic teachings require women to cover all their bodies with the exception of the front part of the face and hands (from the wrist area to the fingers). All other areas are required to be covered.

Understanding the concept of “Islamic Clothing” also requires an understanding of the term mahram and non-mahram. Although Muslim men and women are required to dress modestly at all times, a Muslim women is usually not subject to the same Islamic teachings in front of mahram men. Mahram men include husbands, brothers, fathers, fathers-in-law, sons and certain other close relationships. Everyone else not permitted in Islamic religion fall under the category of non-mahram.

Abaya

Abaya are robes like dresses that Muslim women wear on top of regular clothing. The primary purpose of wearing an abaya is to completely cover oneself so as not to expose any bodily attributes or beauty as Islam instructs women to guard their beauty from all men except those who are specifically allowed.

Head abaya – Certain religious interpretations require a women to dress in clothing that should not expose any body formations whatsoever. In such cases, Muslim women wear abaya dresses that rest on top of their heads and extend below the ankles. This ensures that a women’s body formations stay hidden from men who are not lawful to a woman.

Black abaya – Black abaya are more commonly worn in black in most middle eastern countries, especially those in the Guf region. These countries include Saudi-Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and other neighboring countries.

White abaya – These abayas are populary worn in Far Eastern muslim countries.

Colored abaya – As abaya are popularly worn among Muslim women, abaya designers have created new abaya fashions and have designed embroidered and colored abaya. These abaya are popularly worn in Jordan, western countries and are also now being worn in Middle Eastern countries.

Abaya dresses come in many types of fabrics. However, Rayon/Polyester material is the most common fabric used in their manufacture.

Other fabrics used include cotton, chiffone and georgette.

Jilbab

The word Jilbab refers to “something that covers”. Jilbab are often used synonymously with Abayas. However, new clothing trends set Jilbab apart from Abaya dresses. Jilbabs are more fashionable and western looking long coat like dresses that cover the body. Most women wear Jilbab over regular clothing.

Scarves / Shawls

Scarves and Shalwls are worn as Hijab to cover the head fully, the neck and the upper chest areas of the body. Scarves and shawls worn for this purpose usually have larger dimensions to provide coverage of the mentioned areas. As scarves and shawls are worn by non-Muslim women as well, Muslim women find larger selection of designs and colors and therefore use them as Hijab.

Niqab

Niqab is a garment that enables Muslim women to cover their faces from non-mahram men. Niqab is widely used by Muslim women who believe in the Islamic teachings of covering ones face also (besides the head and hair)from non-mahram men. Figure 5 illustrates Niqab.

Long Skirts

As Muslim women are required to cover themselves from top to toe, long skirts are popular among Muslim women. These popular skirts extend all the way upto the ankles to provide full coverage of the legs.

Long skirts are commonly found in western markets and therefore are less challenging to find and wear for Muslim women.

Long Blouses

As mentioned earlier, one of the primary requirements of dressing up in front of non-mahram men is that Muslim women dress modestly and not reveal their bodies in the nude or by wearing tight clothing that reveals body shapes and contours. As wearing trousers sometimes makes it challenging to meet that requirement, Muslim women prefer wearing long tops and blouses to cover the hip and waist area.

Some people who say they are acting in the name of religion may misunderstand their religion or practice it wrongly. For this reason, it is a mistake to form any idea of that religion from the activities of these people. The best way to understand Islam is through its holy source.

The holy source of Islam is the Qur’an; and the model of morality in the Qur’an is completely different from the image of it formed in the minds of some westerners. The Qur’an is based on the concepts of morality, love, compassion, mercy, modesty, self-sacrifice, tolerance and peace, and a Muslim who truly lives according to these moral precepts is highly refined, thoughtful, tolerant, trustworthy and accommodating. To those around him he gives love, respect, peace of mind and a sense of the joy of life.

Islam Is A Religion Of Peace And Well-Being

The word Islam has the same meaning as “peace” in Arabic. Islam is a religion that came down to offer humanity a life filled with the peace and well-being in which God’s eternal mercy and compassion is manifested in the world. God invites all people to accept the moral teachings of the Qur’an as a model whereby mercy, compassion, tolerance and peace may be experienced in the world. In Surat al-Baqara verse 208, this command is given:

You who believe! Enter absolutely into peace (Islam). Do not follow in the footsteps of Satan. He is an outright enemy to you.

As we see in this verse, people will experience well-being and happiness by living according to the moral teaching of the Qur’an.

God Condemns Mischief

God has commanded humanity to avoid evil; he has forbidden immorality, rebellion, cruelty, aggressiveness, murder and bloodshed. Those who do not obey this command of God are walking in the steps of Satan, as it says in the verse above, and have adopted an attitude that God has clearly declared unlawful. Of the many verses that bear on this subject, here are only two:

But as for those who break God’s contract after it has been agreed and sever what God has commanded to be joined, and cause corruption in the earth, the curse will be upon them. They will have the Evil Abode. (Surat ar-Ra’d: 25)

Seek the abode of the hereafter with what God has given you, without forgetting your portion of the world. And do good as God has been good to you. And do not seek to cause mischief on earth. God does not love mischief makers.’ (Surat al-Qasas: 77)

As we can see, God has forbidden every kind of mischievous acts in the religion of Islam including terrorism and violence, and condemned those who commit such deeds. A Muslim lends beauty to the world and improves it.

Islam Defends Tolerance And Freedom Of Speech

Islam is a religion which fosters freedom of life, ideas and thought. It has forbidden tension and conflict among people, calumny, suspicion and even having negative thoughts about another individual.

Islam has not only forbidden terror and violence, but also even the slightest imposition of any idea on another human being.

There is no compulsion in religion. Right guidance has become clearly distinct from error. Anyone who rejects false gods and believes in God has grasped the Firmest Handhold, which will never give way. God is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (Surat al-Baqara: 256)

So remind, you need only to remind. You cannot compel them to believe. (Surat al-Ghashiyah: 22)

To force anyone to believe in a religion or to practice it, is against the spirit and essence of Islam. Because it is necessary that faith be accepted with free will and conscience. Of course, Muslims may urge one another to keep the moral precepts taught in the Qur’an, but they never use compulsion. In any case, an individual cannot be induced to the practice of religion by either threat or offering him a worldly privilege.

Let us imagine a completely opposite model of society. For example, a world in which people are forced by law to practice religion. Such a model of society is completely contrary to Islam because faith and worship have value only when they are directed toward God. If there were a system that forced people to believe and worship, people would be religious only out of fear of the system. What is acceptable from the point of view of religion is that religion be practiced in an environment where freedom of conscience is permitted, and that it be practiced only for the approval of God.

God Has Made The Killing Of Innocent People Unlawful

According to the Qur’an, one of the greatest sins is to kill a human being who has committed no fault:

…If someone kills another person – unless it is in retaliation for someone else or for causing corruption in the earth – it is as if he had murdered all mankind. And if anyone gives life to another person, it is as if he had given life to all mankind. Our Messengers came to them with Clear Signs but even after that many of them committed outrages in the earth. (Surat al-Ma’ida: 32)

Those who do not call on any other deity together with God and do not kill anyone God has made inviolate, except with the right to do so, and do not fornicate; anyone who does that will receive an evil punishment. (Surat al-Furqan: 68)

As we can see in the verses above, those who kill innocent human beings without a cause are threatened with evil punishment. God has revealed that killing one person is as great a sin as killing all mankind. Anyone who respected the prerogatives of God would not do harm to even one individual, let alone murdering thousands of innocent people. Those who think that they will escape justice and punishment in this world will never escape the account they must give in the Presence of God on the Last Day. So, those believers who know they will give an account to God after their death, will be very careful about respecting the limits God has established.

God Commands Believers To Be Compassionate And Merciful

In this verse, Muslim morality is explained:

…To be one of those who believe and urge each other to steadfastness and urge each other to compassion. Those are the Companions of the Right. (Surat al-Balad: 17-18)

As we see in this verse, one of the most important moral precepts that God has sent down to His servants so that they may receive salvation and mercy and attain Paradise, is to “urge each other to compassion”.

Islam as described in the Qur’an is a modern, enlightened, progressive religion. A Muslim is above all a person of peace; he is tolerant with a democratic spirit, cultured, enlightened, honest, knowledgable about art and science and civilized.

A Muslim educated in the fine moral teaching of the Qur’an, approaches everyone with the love that Islam expects. He shows respect for every idea and he values art and aesthetics. He is conciliatory in the face of every event, diminishing tension and restoring amity. In societies composed of individuals such as this, there will be a higher civilization, a higher social morality, more joy, happiness, justice, security, abundance and blessings than in the most modern nations of the world today.

God Has Commanded Tolerance And Forgiveness

Surat al-A’raf, verse 199, which says “practice forgiveness”, expresses the concept of forgiveness and tolerance which is one of the basic principles of the religion of Islam.

When we look at Islamic history, we can see clearly how Muslims established this important precept of the moral teaching of the Qur’an in their social life. At every point in their advance, Muslims destroyed unlawful practices and created a free and tolerant environment. In the areas of religion, language and culture, they made it possible for people totally opposite to each other to live under the same roof in freedom and peace, thereby giving to those subject to them the advantages of knowledge, wealth and position. Likewise, one of the most important reasons that the large and widespread Ottoman Empire was able to sustain its existence for so many centuries was that its way of life was directed by the tolerance and understanding brought by Islam. For centuries Muslims have been characterized by their tolerance and compassion. In every period of time they have been the most just and merciful of people. All ethnic groups within this multi-national community freely practiced the religions they have followed for years and enjoyed every opportunity to live in their own cultures and worship in their own way.

Indeed, the particular tolerance of Muslims, when practiced as commanded in the Qur’an, can alone bring peace and well-being to the whole world. The Qur’an refers to this particular kind of tolerance:

A good action and a bad action are not the same. Repel the bad with something better and, if there is enmity between you and someone else, he will be like a bosom friend. (Surat al-Fussilat: 34)

Conclusion

All this shows that the moral teaching offered to humanity by Islam is one that will bring peace, happiness and justice to the world. The barbarism that is happening in the world today under the name of “Islamic Terrorism” is completely removed from the moral teachings of the Qur’an; it is the work of ignorant, bigoted people, criminals who have nothing to do with religion. The solution which will applied against these individuals and groups who are trying to commit their deeds of savagery under the guise of Islam, will be the instruction of people in the true moral teaching of Islam.

In other words, the religion of Islam and the moral teaching of the Qur’an are not the supporters of terrorism and the terrorists, but the remedy by which the world can be saved from the scourge of terrorism.
