Molvism:

Please miss cover your hair with duptta( that was unintentionally gone slipped from hair) I’m getting angry, I can do anything.  My Qari shab told me it is Gunna. Abruptly many other following these words for me. These were the words of 12-14 year young boy, who was studying in non-formal community school established by one organization (where I was working).  His gestures made me little terrified. Might be it wasn’t expected.

Thirty years back when we permanently shifted to Islamabad and my parents send my younger siblings in nearby mosque for completing the Quran Sharf. But sadly, both came back with crying faces. Because qari shab used to punish students with football . After my father restrictions, they stopped throwing football (for only my siblings) as condition to cook evening tea for all clerics. Hence, after two weeks my sibling stopped going Mosque. They resumed recitation of Quran Sharf by a well-known Qari shab of our sector. (Who luckily didn’t beat)

Few months back, I came across news of taking action against all clerics (both suni & sheia clerics) who preach prejudice statement. And right after 2 weeks I saw banner written: according to courts instruction, our sector cleric would be arrest. This action was taken as precautionary measures for Muhram Chleum .

  In 2007, when Islamabad faced radical incident Lal Masjid . That left us with numerous questions .  Extremism is commonly known as behavior who try to impose his/her extreme thoughts (that usually based on emotion rather rational /fundamentalism).  A person who advocates or resorts to measures beyond the norm.

I’m sure you must gone through with this experienced as well. Recent carnage of Peshawar, refreshed all my experiences. And compelled to write some stuff.

Parents forced us to complete Quran sharf on our earliest. No matter who was teaching & what we perceived. Even some parents proud to share without beating how could a child learn better. The point I was trying to make here is, we modify our values or lost true teaching of Islam just for the revival of  fake societal norms.

 We totally forget basic philosophy of Quran & teaching of Prophet Sali Alhi Wahli Waslam (PB.U.H). Who still acknowledged in world for good behavior and justice. Based on this, many non-Muslims embraced Islam as religion. Sadly, today we embrace our prejudices & racism. Thus, world become place where respect attained on mutual thoughts.

Teacher who are first instructor of one’s life. Today, teachers of Islam, Molvi or Qari shab or clerics are hardly metric. They are proficient in Quran verses but failed to grab original idea of Islam, that’s why they failed to transfer in students. Hereafter, man started judging other’s based on segregation that leads to hatred. (Here seed of hate sowed in society) .This can be see in killing of many innocent

Hadith: "By Him in Whose Hand is my life, a time will come when the murderer will not know why he has committed the murder, and the victim will not know why he has been killed." [Sahih Muslim] 

 Fanatic started observing others on bases of own cultivated values. And restrict others to follow as it is. The matter of fact is, we totally forget the true meaning of Islam and started relaying on those who hardly know learning. Ironically, all those behavior comes from those who commonly known as Islamic institute or cleric.

  It’s not restricted to less educated it may come from educated cream of professionals too. What’s your religion if Muslim then specify your sect? This experience I got from renewed International organization recruitment form. Many other forced female employee to cover head as name of Islam.

All are form of extremism or apologists of modern era. Who sadly, highly educated but less to embrace why segregation why prejudice when our Prophet Salallah o ilhali Waslim (P.B.U.H)  stood in respect of Christian dead body and offered prayers in courtyard of Church.  Who always put smile no matter how crucial situation were. Who had followers of Black guy who later embrace Islam because sadly suffered ill behavior of his own group.

Now situation is getting worst even Muslim starting facing more ill behavior from same religion fellow in name of Islam. Extremist is not only TTP also many others who forced others to judge on specific sects. Who teach Islam is only restricted to Haqol Abab. Allah always said, I forget my rights but not human rights.

This situation prevail air of hate & evil. Radical or extremist behavior need to be abolished.  In nutshell, Islam is religion of peace where there is no place of any extremist act or whatsoever.

There is greater need to put focus on all Islamic clerics who should have master’s degree . Emergency ban on all madrass nationwide. There should be stick punishment for all who tries to impose his values on others in name of Islam. All mosques should be closed in day time. Clerics restrict to do part time job . Radical or infringed behavior is not easy to remove but not impossible. Lesson of Goodwill should be taught and appreciated during Quran’s Teaching. Extremist material or wall chalking should be banned.

And sum up of all, stabilize economy or job opportunity can lessen these. There should be punishment for everyone without discrimination.  In end, you can demotivate all factors that lead to societal or sects division. Say no to all who forced to fill sect’s column. Because your little initiative may discourage future radical or TTP act. It all need collective action.
