Description

The dismal economic situation of the Muslim world contributes to

the proliferation of violence in it. Yet poverty alone does not explain

this violence—it can also flare up in an oil-rich country like Saudi

Arabia, due to its long-standing traditions of intolerance and lack of

intellectual freedom. Although change is occurring in Saudi Arabia, it

is far from adequate to meet the challenges of modern times. Genuine

intellectual freedom, indeed, is a sine qua non precondition for usher-

ing in a pluralist democracy, but the Islamic world is far behind in

this area, and no amount of Islamic rhetoric can ever substitute for

authentic freedom of thought.

A DEBATE BETWEEN ALLAMAH YOUSUF GABRIEL AND PROF. ANNEMARIE SCHIMMEL By Sharif Farooq editor Daily Jihad, Peshawar Pakistan Since a few years the articles and essays of Allamah Yousuf Gabriel had appeared in continuity. In these essays and articles a particular topic that appeared conspicuous was about the atomic hell and its hazards and the universal destruction of mankind. In the beginning I paid no attention to these articles but when the same topic and the same writer would discuss different aspects of a topic from the Quranic point of view then ultimately the reader is forced to give attention to the topic, particularly when the solution of problem is presented in reference to some divine scriptures and the faith of human beings. Also in the entire world of today, particularly in America, Russia, China, Japan and Europe etc., the topic which receives the greater attention is the same atomic hazards of the future and the atomic destiny of mankind. On one side, man is working miracles in the field of science and is striving from the achievement of every kind of facilities to the end of human diseases; to the extent that by means of artificial heart and artificial liver efforts are being made to revive the dead. While on the other side, upto this time, the most advanced nations of the world have prepared the atomic piles and various germs producing gases to an amount whose one fourth is enough to not only destroy this flourishing world but will cast this world into a sort of a hell whose slightest imagination is enough to cause the human mind to tremble with fear. The great thinkers and the friends of humanity set up demonstrations against the havoc to be wrought by the atomic radiations within these great world powers but all in vain, but:-" the more the treatment is given the worst becomes the disease. Perhaps, in this context the first "Campaign for the Nuclear Disarmament" had started by Bertrand Russel. Some other movements of the same nature are active in those countries. But by the passage of time the atomic destructive activities are on the increase. It is said that the atomic bombs which were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and which caused the death of hundreds of thousand of human beings and even today those parts are incapable of any production, were very small bombs of very low velocity. Man has prepared means of human destruction and in the twinkling of an eye the human race would not only be destroyed but also there shall remain no signs of life on earth. When the civilized man sees the uncivilized ways of the destruction he becomes panicky.In January 1963, I had a chance to speak to the head of NATO (which is the greatest defensive organi-zation in Europe and America) General Norstad in company with a group of Journalists of the common wealth. When I questioned about the sudden outbreak of atomic war, the General disclosed that such arrangements were extent that in case of undeclared atomic war within two or three minutes orders of atomic counterattack be given. However, over the continent of Europe due to fear, war planes equipped with atomic weapons keep on hovering for twenty four hours in the name of defensive purposes. If 22 or 23 years ago the ability to destroy the world within two or three minutes was achieved then today, on what stage of instant destruction will this world be? Allamah Yousuf Gabriel, who offers the solution of every universal problem and presents the methods of preventing the universal destruction in the light of the teachings of the Quran, remains always in the state of restlessness to save the humanity from Nuclear Destruction. Allamah Yousuf Gabriel is a highly learned scholar with unusually great versatility of subjects; is a celebrity among the distin-guished Doctors of Islamic Law and Theology; has unusually great understanding of the Quran and shows equally exceptional knowledge of both the Quran and Science. He is a simple man who lives the life of a dervish in seclusion. If He had been in some other country with an organized propaganda machinery behind him then certainly he would have been counted among the greatest thinkers of the world. He would have been declared as a great Harbinger and mouthpiece of world peace and many books would have been written about him and certainly he would have been awarded Noble Prize for peace. But Allamah Yousuf Gabriel who passed M.A. without a teacher and who has equally great command over English, Persian and Arabic etc., lives in a small Mohallah Nawababad of Wah Factory in a very ordinary quarter. If anyone would see him he would not consider him deserving better attention than a simple and rustic villager. However, where there is intellectual greatness there the worldly splendour is not needed. Knowledge has its own delight and that is the delight of satisfaction and contentment; a delight from which the material world is deprived.I knew Allamah Muhammad Yousuf Gabriel by his articles published but I had n

My God you really are out to get muslims hey. If anyone out there is interested in knowing the truth and not just indulging in Islamophobic propaganda that incites hatred against Muslims and incites Islamophobic hate violence against Muslims click on my username above and visit my "Comparative Religion" folder there you will find books such as: "Islam, Jihad, Terrorism and Wahabiism", "Mohammed[peace be upon him]-The Prophet" by Professor Ramakrishna Rao which is an authentic biography of Prophet Muhammed [peace be upon him] written by a non-Muslim professor. Furthermore please do download Quranic Foundations and Structure of Muslim Society by Molana Fazlur Rahman Ansari al-Qadri (May God have mercy on him), it refutes these baseless Islamophobic allegations that have been repeated time and time again at www.FazlurRahmanAnsari.org Thank You
