The Quran reminds us that in reality humankind was one Ummah but this unity was broken by various differences which the human beings created among themselves surah 10 verse 19. It emphasizes the fact that the main purpose of sending God's message through various Messengers is to restore back the balance and unity of humankind which once existed in the earliest period of human history - Quranic reference 2:213 & 57:25. The Quran warns us not to differentiate among Messengers Quranic reference 2:285 & 4:136, because all of them came from the same source, Allah Almighty. But the followers of the Messengers Peace upon all of them not only created differences among the Messengers but they also created divisions among themselves within the following of a single Messenger. As other people, we the followers of Messenger Mohammad peace be upon him have also created divisions among ourselves. We have done this in spite of the very clear order of Allah Almighty to hold on to His rope together in unity and not be divided among ourselves Surah 3 verse 103. As a matter of fact, we mostly follow the illusions built by our emotions surah 25 verse 43 and the ways of our ancestors surah 2 verse 170 rather than the Quranic reality. This is because whenever we are confronted with the Quranic verses which clearly forbid differences and divisions among Muslims, we find a scapegoat and reply that we are not divided but we only have several schools of thought. In reality though, these are not schools of thought but are schools of action. Only a few examples will suffice to support this argument: differences in what is forbidden and what is allowed by various schools as far as food is concerned; differences in forms of prayer; differences related to marriage and divorce etc. Everyone will agree that these differences whether major or minor are not just in thought but very much in action also. Majority of Muslims though like to believe in ignoring these religious differences and divisions and carry on with their lives. However our religious scholars are more interested in maintaining these differences by creating a sense of virtual unity that hides their sectarian differences. They prefer not to work for real unity because it exposes their differences. In fact, they are more interested in practicing virtual Islam rather than the real Islam our Messenger peace be upon him and Sahaabaa practiced. This makes every one feel satisfied,does'nt whether more or less. Nawaz Religion Islam http://www.parvez-video.com

Contrary to the teachings of the Quran which prohibits any division of Muslims into sects, they have been subject to division and disintegration for the last few centuries, which is a result of this as a natural consequence of predecessor worship. Difference of opinion does occur among human beings and did occur even amongst the companions of the Messenger but they did not allow themselves to be divided into sects. But since the start of ancestral worship, the followers of particular Imams took their respective Imams to be infallible and assumed that the truth lay they said in matters of life. In other words all the others, besides them (the Imams) said was mere falsehood. This divided the Muslims among themselves and every sect became content with what the Imams gave them. From then onwards each sect struggled hard to prove that they themselves were right and others were wrong. They became devoid of tolerance and also of self effort to find out what was right and what was wrong. Thus they were not prepared to hear a word against their own particular belief not because they had good reason to do so but because anything going against the belief of their ancestors was impossible for them to tolerate. The differences between the sects are not necessarily on basic issues; even the differences on petty things have separated them from each other. The curious aspect of this situation lies in the fact that the laws of Fiqa are now the vestigial remnants of the Muslim rules from the past. Not a single Muslim or Islamic State based on Islamic principles which exist today but the differences based on the Fiqa laws continue to exist. A lot of energy is being wasted to keep up differences, in a same way least effort is being made to revive the Islamic state. Because of this divisions and disintegration among muslims give us a clear picture of the Muslim world today it is hard to find something positive on the horizon. There is political chaos, fanatic society and regional turmoil all over the Muslim world. Muslims seem to have lost control of their affairs, they feel frustrated and helpless. Many Muslim governments are persecuting their people in the name of Islam and muslim priests exploits common people in the name of Islam. So we Muslims hope for a better future under these circumstances? Nawaz Religion Islam www.parvez-video.com

Hi Folks Historians are often astonished to note how the Arabs could reach the height of their glory in such a short span of time, fourteen centuries earlier. But in fact there is nothing to be astonished about. Their glory was the natural consequence of acting in the guidance provided by the Quran. The most astonishing thing on the other hand is that which made the Muslim nation, after it reached the pinnacle of its glory by acting on the Quran and after it witnessed the results of such an action with its own eyes, then why they decline in every sphere of life and ultimately fall into an abyss? How did it happen that the veils of darkness mentioned above could manage to fall in between the light of the Quran and the followers of the Quran? The story is most painful and hair-raising and is worth listening to with rapt attention. It runs as follows: When the forces which opposed the rising tide of Islam in the 7th century A.D. noticed that the uneducated, unskilled, undisciplined and most backward people of the world living on dates for their subsistence had become the dominant power of the world within a very short period, they not only became jealous of this but also cautious. They simply could not bear the aliens treading on their territories and demolishing the structure of their ancient civilizations. The superior nations of that period were the Romans and the Persians who comprise the intelligentsia of that age. They were defeated and overrun by the Arabs who were far inferior to them in material resources. When Hermazan, the defeated Persian Governor was produced before Hazrat Omar !11 Caliph of Islam), the latter asked him why the Persians were now suffering defeat after defeat at the hands of Arabs while previously they could beat them back easily in any encounter. Hermazan replied that earlier the Persians had fought the Arabs alone but now they had to fight against the Arabs plus their God and it was not possible for them to defeat these two forces combined. How true his answer was when we look at the Quranic verse; “Truly God is with the believers.” - Al Anfall 8:19 The Persians were men of wisdom and insight, they truly realized that Arabs would remain invincible in the battlefield so long as they were close followers of the Quran and that the only way to overpower them was to disassociate them from the guidance of the Quran and thus get them separated from their God. This was an important turning point in the history of Islam, and thus cam in waves of conspiracies which entirely changed the very face of Islam in the years to follow. All the basic concepts of the Quran on which the ‘Deen’ or social order established by Muhammad (peace be upon him) came into existence and were replaced one by one by ideas, beliefs and superstitions which were the outcome of human thinking. Muslims in their era of glory and triumph conquered both Romans and Persians but whereas the Roman empire was partly conquered, the Persian empire was not entirely subjugated but the edifice of its civilization was completely razed to the ground. It was natural thing which that they felt it deeply and maligned the minds of muslims in coming centuries. We all can see that Muslims of today have become an example of weakness and one with no divine objectives. Nawaz Religion Islam

Islam is a divine message from Allah Almighty for the entire humankind. The structures (Pillars) that would support the building of Islam would have to be strong, purposeful, powerful and pragmatic. This is because that Islam is not a dogma, but imaging for how long? How long will we continue to follow the paths that have leaded us collectively to absolutely nowhere? Except to immobility, stagnation, divisions, fragmentation, fighting amongst ourselves and to the absolute ruin of generations of the people that Allah Almighty created to lead Mankind to the promised  land.

If the political parties are unable to produce leaders, we cannot wait for them forever to do so. We in Pakistan do not have the luxury of time. The military can and will prevail over the threats facing us for the time being, but who will assume the challenge of making Pakistan an attractive place for its citizens? Pakistan’s existing ‘national leadership has been a failure in the best of times. Our challenges are tall and our leaders are pygmies. To move forward, Pakistan needs a new deal for the 21st century. And this deal cannot come through the ballot for the foreseeable future. Our best chance is for Pakistan’s best and brightest – outside the realm of our failed parties and a failed system – to step forward with a plan to remodel the state.

Enigma ensnares the human all his life and they convincingly believe that they are born free! Although they is not! They are born chained in customs, traditions, rituals, and the family traits. They go to the place of worship because as a child they saw their parents go to the place of worship. They despise others because as a child saw their parents despise others. They assume themselves to be the most cultured, enlightened, and brave among the men because they thought and behaved like that. The Man remains confounded in the given circumstances. They evolve their ethics and code of conduct to judge the world. The Man nevertheless is born with an inquisitive head and heart. Within they resides a self. They strive to know what hitherto has remained unknown to them. They attempts to understand what has not understood before. They read, assimilate, contemplate & unshackle themselves. They tread the oceans, deserts, forests, and the civilizations in search of a Truth. They stand up and muster up courage to look at the world independently. They all listen to the echo of eternal unanswered questions from within. Who am I? Who has created me? What is the relationship between my Creator and me? The Man seeks answer to the most complex questions in their lives. Where from have I come and whence shall I return to! Without knowing she enters the folds of so many snares set in the form of Sufism, Monastic, Pantheism, Atheism and the like so many. It is then that they find themselves impeded by the society in which they have been brought up. The wise, the clergy, the religionists, and the learned that sit in judgment on the deeds and misdeeds of others admonish them. They warn them not to seek what has already been sought! Not to redefine what has already been defined! And finally, not to deviate from the path followed by their forefathers! Fear bears no meaning for their mentors. So they look around and to their astonishment they behold their Beloved, the Eternal love when they attain dissolution in the vastness on One Supreme in every direction! and is lost in the instinctive urges, tendencies and capacities which constitute the biological equipment of their fiber in the hormones secreted by endocrine glands, in the social milieu in which they reared up, in the moral code where receives through the emotional part of their nature, in the social forces where they remains passive when society moulds them to enjoy social approval, in the interaction between hereditary constitution and their social surrounding and so the like so many others. Quran has discussed about this subject openly & answered these core questions.

You buy a parrot with the purpose of bringing him up. You carefully put the bird in a cage, so that he may not be taken away by a cat. Then you provide him food and water to promote the growth of his body. You also take pains to teach him mimicry and take care that he learns to imitate some good words. In Arabic language this whole programmed is called Rabubiyyat, which means to provide nourishment, physical as well as mental. The one Who does so is called Rabb - Nourisher. In Quran the word Rabb come for Allah Almighty because He has created means for the nourishment of human body and has also created the faculty of learning in man. But in spite of all that, you know that there are so many people in the world who do not get enough food to appease their appetite, nor enough clothes to cover their bodies, nor do they own houses to live in, nor have they got enough means to get themselves treated during illness and nor have they any arrangement for the education of their children. In other words, they have not got enough means either for their own nourishment or for the physical and mental development of their children. Why it so happen, inspite of the fact that Allah Almighty has provided enough means for the maintenance of human beings? This is because the proper arrangement do not exist.
